Authentication of Trust Certificates On the Closing Date, the Owner Trustee shall cause the Trust Certificates to be executed on behalf of the Trust, authenticated and delivered to or upon the written order of the Depositor signed by the Depositor’s president, any vice president, secretary, treasurer or any assistant treasurer, without further company action by the Depositor. No Trust Certificate shall entitle a Certificateholder to any benefit under this Agreement or be valid for any purpose unless there shall appear on such Trust Certificate a certificate of authentication substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A, executed by the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar, as its authenticating agent, by manual signature; such authentication shall constitute conclusive evidence that such Trust Certificate shall have been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. All Trust Certificates shall be dated the date of their authentication.
Authentication This Note shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent.
Authentication and Delivery of Trust Certificates On the Closing Date, the Owner Trustee shall cause to be authenticated and delivered upon the order of the Depositor, in exchange for the Receivables and the other assets of the Issuer, simultaneously with the sale, assignment and transfer to the Issuer of the Receivables, and the constructive delivery to the Issuer of the Receivable Files and the other assets of the Issuer, Trust Certificates duly authenticated by the Owner Trustee, in authorized denominations equaling in the aggregate the Original Certificate Balance and evidencing the entire ownership of the Issuer. No Trust Certificate shall entitle its Certificateholder to any benefit under this Agreement, or be valid for any purpose, unless there shall appear on such Trust Certificate a certificate of authentication substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A, executed by the Owner Trustee or the Trust’s Authenticating Agent, by manual signature; and such authentication shall constitute conclusive evidence that such Trust Certificate shall have been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. All Trust Certificates shall be dated the date of their authentication. Upon issuance, authentication and delivery pursuant to the terms hereof, the Trust Certificates will be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement. Whenever, in any Basic Document, a reference is made to authentication by the Owner Trustee, such reference shall include authentication by the Owner Trustee and/or authentication by a party appointed to act as the Authenticating Agent of the Owner Trustee.
Authentication Date The Notes of this Series shall be dated the date of their authentication.
Authentication of Notes If, at the time the successor by merger or consolidation to the Indenture Trustee succeeds to the trusts created by this Indenture, Notes have been authenticated but not delivered, the successor Indenture Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of a predecessor Indenture Trustee and deliver the Notes so authenticated. If at that time any Notes have not been authenticated, the successor Indenture Trustee may authenticate the Notes. In each of those cases, the certificates will have the same force and effect provided in the Notes or in this Indenture as the certificate of the predecessor Indenture Trustee.
Authentication and Delivery of Debt Securities At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Partnership may deliver Debt Securities of any series executed by the Partnership to the Trustee for authentication, and the Trustee shall thereupon authenticate and deliver said Debt Securities to or upon a Partnership Order. In authenticating such Debt Securities, and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Debt Securities, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 7.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon:
(a) a copy of any resolution or resolutions of the Board of Directors, certified by the Secretary or Assistant Secretary of the General Partner, authorizing the terms of issuance of any series of Debt Securities;
(b) an executed supplemental Indenture, if any;
(c) an Officers’ Certificate; and
(d) an Opinion of Counsel prepared in accordance with Section 13.05 which shall also state:
(i) that the form of such Debt Securities has been established by or pursuant to a resolution of the Board of Directors or by a supplemental Indenture as permitted by Section 2.01 in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture;
(ii) that the terms of such Debt Securities have been established by or pursuant to a resolution of the Board of Directors or by a supplemental Indenture as permitted by Section 2.03 in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture;
(iii) that such Debt Securities, when authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and issued by the Partnership in the manner and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Partnership, enforceable in accordance with their terms except as the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and rights of acceleration and the availability of equitable remedies may be limited by equitable principles of general applicability;
(iv) that the Partnership has the partnership power to issue such Debt Securities and has duly taken all necessary partnership action with respect to such issuance;
(v) that the issuance of such Debt Securities will not contravene the organizational documents of the Partnership or result in any material violation of any of the terms or provisions of any law or regulation or of any material indenture, mortgage or other agreement known to such counsel by which the Partnership is bound;
(vi) that authentication and delivery of such Debt Securities and the execution and delivery of any supplemental Indenture will not violate the terms of this Indenture; and
(vii) such other matters as the Trustee may reasonably request. Such Opinion of Counsel need express no opinion as to whether a court in the United States would render a money judgment in a currency other than that of the United States. The Trustee shall have the right to decline to authenticate and deliver any Debt Securities under this Section 2.05 if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines that such action may not lawfully be taken or if the Trustee in good faith by its board of directors or trustees, executive committee or a trust committee of directors, trustees or officers (or any combination thereof) shall determine that such action would expose the Trustee to personal liability to existing Holders. The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent reasonably acceptable to the Partnership to authenticate Debt Securities of any series. Unless limited by the terms of such appointment, an authenticating agent may authenticate Debt Securities whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as any Registrar, paying agent or agent for service of notices and demands. Unless otherwise provided in the form of Debt Security for any series, each Debt Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.
Authenticating Agents (a) The Trustee may appoint one or more Authenticating Agents which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee in authenticating Certificates. Wherever reference is made in this Agreement to the authentication of Certificates by the Trustee or the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent must be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any state, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $15,000,000, authorized under such laws to do a trust business and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities and acceptable to any NIMS Insurer.
(b) Any Person into which any Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which any Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the corporate agency business of any Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be the Authenticating Agent without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent.
(c) Any Authenticating Agent may at any time resign by giving at least 30 days’ advance written notice of resignation to the Trustee, any NIMS Insurer and the Depositor. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of any Authenticating Agent by giving written notice of termination to such Authenticating Agent, any NIMS Insurer and the Depositor. Upon receiving a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time any Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.10, the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent, shall give written notice of such appointment to the Depositor and any NIMS Insurer and shall mail notice of such appointment to all Holders of Certificates. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers, duties and responsibilities of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as Authenticating Agent. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section 6.10. No Authenticating Agent shall have responsibility or liability for any action taken by it as such at the direction of the Trustee. Any Authenticating Agent shall be entitled to reasonable compensation for its services and, if paid by the Trustee, it shall be a reimbursable expense pursuant to Section 6.12.
TRUSTEE’S CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICATION This is one of the Notes designated above and referred to in the within-mentioned Indenture. Dated: ______________, 2024 CITIBANK, N.A., not in its individual capacity but solely as Indenture Trustee By: Name: Title: This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Issuing Entity, designated as its 5.519% Class A-1 Asset Backed Notes (herein called the “A-1 Notes” or the “Notes”), all issued under an Indenture dated as of May 1, 2024 (such Indenture, as supplemented or amended, is herein called the “Indenture”) between the Issuing Entity and Citibank, N.A., not in its individual capacity but solely as trustee (the “Indenture Trustee”, which term includes any successor Indenture Trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights and obligations thereunder of the Issuing Entity, the Indenture Trustee and the Holders of the Notes. The Notes are subject to all terms of the Indenture. All terms used in this Note that are not otherwise defined herein and that are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in or pursuant to the Indenture. The Notes, the A-2 Notes, the A-3 Notes and the A-4 Notes are and will be equally and ratably secured by the collateral pledged as security therefor as provided in the Indenture. The Issuing Entity shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the A-1 Note Rate to the extent lawful. Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note, or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in the Note, covenants and agrees that no recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuing Entity or the Indenture Trustee on the Notes or under the Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered in connection therewith, against: (i) the Indenture Trustee or the Trustee in their individual capacities, (ii) any owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuing Entity or (iii) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer, director or employee of: (a) the Indenture Trustee or the Trustee in their individual capacities, (b) any holder of a beneficial interest in the Issuing Entity, the Trustee or the Indenture Trustee or of (c) any successor or assign of the Indenture Trustee or the Trustee in their individual capacities, except as any such Person may have expressly agreed and except that any such partner, owner or beneficiary shall be fully liable, to the extent provided by applicable law, for any unpaid consideration for stock, unpaid capital contribution or failure to pay any installment or call owing to such partner, owner or beneficiary. It is the intent of the Seller, the Servicer, the Noteholders and the Note Owners that, for purposes of federal and State income tax and any other tax measured in whole or in part by income, the Notes qualify as debt. Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note, or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note, agrees to treat, and to take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, the Notes for such tax purposes as debt, except as may be required otherwise in the case of (a) the Depositor or any of its Affiliates (including, without limitation, the Issuing Entity, the Sponsor and the Originator) or (b) any Person in whose hands (or in the hands of any predecessor holder of that Note), pursuant to Treasury regulations promulgated Section 385 of the Code, the Notes would not be treated in their entirety as indebtedness for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Each Noteholder or holder of an interest in an A-1 Note, by acceptance of such A-1 Note or such interest therein, agrees to provide to the Indenture Trustee, any Paying Agent or the Issuing Entity, as applicable, the Noteholder Tax Identification Information and, to the extent FATCA Withholding Tax is applicable, the Noteholder FATCA Information. In addition, each Noteholder or holder of an interest in an A-1 Note, by acceptance of such A-1 Note or such interest therein, agrees that the Indenture Trustee has the right to withhold any amounts of interest (properly withholdable under law and without any corresponding gross-up) payable to a Noteholder or holder of an interest in an A-1 Note that fails to comply with the requirements of the preceding sentence. Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note, or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note, covenants and agrees that by accepting the benefits of the Indenture that such Noteholder will not at any time institute against the Seller or the Issuing Entity, or join in any institution against the Seller or the Issuing Entity of, any bankruptcy, reorganization or arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under any United States federal or State bankruptcy or similar law in connection with any obligations relating to the Notes, the Indenture or the Basic Documents. Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note, or in the case of Note Owner, a beneficial interest in the Note, represents that either (a) it is not (i) an employee benefit plan (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) that is subject to the provisions of Title I of ERISA, (ii) a plan described in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code, (iii) any entity whose underlying assets include plan assets of any of the foregoing (each a “Benefit Plan”), or (iv) a governmental plan (as defined in Section 3(32) of ERISA) that is subject to any law substantially similar to ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or (b) the purchase and holding of the Note, or a beneficial interest therein, will not result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code or any substantially similar applicable law. This Note and the Indenture shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, and the obligations, rights and remedies of the parties hereunder and thereunder shall be determined in accordance with such laws. No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuing Entity, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Note at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, except as expressly provided in the Basic Documents, neither Citibank, N.A., in its individual capacity, any owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuing Entity, nor any of their respective partners, beneficiaries, agents, officers, directors, employees, successors or assigns shall be personally liable for, nor shall recourse be had to any of them for, the payment of principal of or interest on, or performance of, or omission to perform, any of the covenants, obligations or indemnifications contained in this Note or the Indenture, it being expressly understood that said covenants, obligations and indemnifications have been made by the Indenture Trustee for the sole purposes of binding the interests of the Indenture Trustee in the assets of the Issuing Entity. The Holder of this Note by the acceptance hereof, and each Note Owner by the acceptance of a beneficial interest herein, each agrees that, except as expressly provided in the Basic Documents, in the case of an Event of Default under the Indenture, the Holder and Note Owner shall have no claim against any of the foregoing for any deficiency, loss or claim therefrom; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be taken to prevent recourse to, and enforcement against, the assets of the Issuing Entity for any and all liabilities, obligations and undertakings contained in the Indenture or in this Note.
ICANN testing registrar Registry Operator agrees that ICANN will have a testing registrar used for purposes of measuring the SLRs described above. Registry Operator agrees to not provide any differentiated treatment for the testing registrar other than no billing of the transactions. ICANN shall not use the registrar for registering domain names (or other registry objects) for itself or others, except for the purposes of verifying contractual compliance with the conditions described in this Agreement.

3. Registry Operator agrees to perform the following specific public interest commitments, which commitments shall be enforceable by ICANN and through the Public Interest Commitment Dispute Resolution Process established by ICANN (posted at xxxx://xxx.xxxxx.xxx/en/resources/registries/picdrp), which may be revised in immaterial respects by ICANN from time to time (the “PICDRP”). Registry Operator shall comply with the PICDRP. Registry Operator agrees to implement and adhere to any remedies ICANN imposes (which may include any reasonable remedy, including for the avoidance of doubt, the termination of the Registry Agreement pursuant to Section 4.3(e) of the Agreement) following a determination by any PICDRP panel and to be bound by any such determination.

Registry Operator will include a provision in its Registry-‐Registrar Agreement that requires Registrars to include in their Registration Agreements a provision prohibiting Registered Name Holders from distributing malware, abusively operating botnets, phishing, piracy, trademark or copyright infringement, fraudulent or deceptive practices, counterfeiting or otherwise engaging in activity contrary to applicable law, and providing (consistent with applicable law and any related procedures) consequences for such activities including suspension of the domain name.
b. Registry Operator will periodically conduct a technical analysis to assess whether domains in the TLD are being used to perpetrate security threats, such as pharming, phishing, malware, and botnets. Registry Operator will maintain statistical reports on the number of security threats identified and the actions taken as a result of the periodic security checks. Registry Operator will maintain these reports for the term of the Agreement unless a shorter period is required by law or approved by ICANN, and will provide them to ICANN upon request.
c. Registry Operator will operate the TLD in a transparent manner consistent with general principles of openness and non-‐discrimination by establishing, publishing and adhering to clear registration policies.
