Any portion of the text of any Note may be set forth on the reverse thereof, with an appropriate reference thereto on the face of such Note.

The Definitive Notes shall be typewritten, printed, lithographed or engraved or produced by any combination of these methods (with or without steel engraved borders), all as determined by the officers executing such Notes, as evidenced by their execution of such Notes.

(2023-A Indenture)

Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication. The terms of the Notes set forth in Exhibit A-1, Exhibit A-2-A, Exhibit A-2-B, Exhibit A-3, Exhibit A-4, Exhibit B and Exhibit C are part of the terms of this Indenture.

Section 2.02            Execution, Authentication and Delivery. The Notes shall be executed on behalf of the Issuer by any of its Authorized Officers. The signature of any such Authorized Officer on the Notes may be manual or facsimile.

Notes bearing the manual or facsimile signature of individuals who were at any time Authorized 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.

The Indenture Trustee shall upon Issuer Order authenticate and deliver Class A-1 Notes for original issue in an aggregate principal amount of $335,060,000, Class A-2-A Notes for original issue in an aggregate principal amount of $364,400,000, Class A-2-B Notes for original issue in an aggregate principal amount of $200,000,000, Class A-3 Notes for original issue in an aggregate principal amount of $503,900,000, Class A-4 Notes for original issue in an aggregate principal amount of $125,000,000, Class B Notes for original issue in an aggregate principal amount of $29,700,000, and Class C Notes for original issue in an aggregate principal amount $49,500,000.

The Notes shall be issuable as registered Notes in minimum denominations of $1,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof (except for one Note of each class which may be issued in a denomination other than an integral multiple of $1,000).

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 Indenture Trustee by the manual or facsimile 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 2.03            Temporary Notes. Pending the preparation of Definitive Notes, the Issuer may execute, and upon receipt of an Issuer Order the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Notes that are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, of the tenor of the Definitive Notes in lieu of which they are issued and with such variations not inconsistent with the 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 shall cause Definitive Notes to be prepared without unreasonable 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 3.02, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Notes, the Issuer shall execute, and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor, a like principal amount of Definitive Notes of authorized denominations. Until so exchanged, the temporary Notes shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as Definitive Notes.

(2023-A Indenture)

Section 2.04            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 Note Registrar shall provide for the registration of Notes and the registration of all transfers of Notes. The Indenture Trustee initially shall be the “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, if it elects not to make such an appointment, assume the duties of Note Registrar. If a Person other than the Indenture Trustee is appointed by the Issuer as Note Registrar, the Issuer will give the Indenture Trustee prompt written notice of the appointment of such Note Registrar and of the location, and any change in the location, of the Note Register, and the Indenture Trustee shall have the right to inspect the Note Register at all reasonable times and to obtain copies thereof, and the Indenture Trustee shall have the right to conclusively rely upon a certificate executed on behalf of the Note Registrar by an Executive Officer thereof as to the names and addresses of the Holders of the Notes and the principal amounts and number of such Notes.

Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note at the office or agency of the Issuer to be maintained as provided in Section 3.02, if the requirements of Section 8-401(a) of the UCC are met, the Issuer shall execute, and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and the Noteholder shall obtain from the Indenture Trustee, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes of the same Class in any authorized denominations, of a like aggregate principal amount.

At the option of the Holder, Notes may be exchanged for other Notes of the same Class in any authorized denominations, of a like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Notes are so surrendered for exchange, if the requirements of Section 8-401(a) of the UCC are met, the Issuer shall execute, and the Indenture Trustee, without having to verify that the requirements of Section 8-401(a) have been met, shall authenticate and the Noteholder shall obtain from the Indenture Trustee, the Notes that the Noteholder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

All Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes shall be the valid obligations of the Issuer, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. Every Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, with such signature guaranteed by an “eligible guarantor institution” meeting the requirements of the Note Registrar, which requirements include membership or participation in the Securities Transfer Agent’s Medallion Program (“STAMP”) or such other “signature guarantee program” as may be determined by the Note Registrar in addition to, or in substitution for, STAMP, all in accordance with the Exchange Act.

(2023-A Indenture)

No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, but the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 2.03 or 9.05 not involving any transfer.

The preceding provisions of this Section notwithstanding, the Issuer shall not be required to make and the Note Registrar need not register transfers or exchanges of Notes selected for redemption or of any Note for a period of 15 days preceding the due date for any payment with respect to the Note.

Any Notes (or interests therein) retained by the Issuer or a Person that is considered the same person as the Issuer for U.S. federal income tax purposes may not be transferred for U.S. federal income tax purposes to another Person (other than a Person that is considered the same person as the Issuer for U.S. federal income tax purposes) unless the Administrator shall cause an Opinion of Counsel to be delivered to the Depositor and the Indenture Trustee at such time stating that either (x) such Notes will be debt for U.S. federal income tax purposes or (y) the sale of such Notes will not cause the Issuer to be treated as an association or publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

In addition, if for tax or other reasons it may be necessary to track such Notes (e.g., if the Notes have original issue discount), tracking conditions such as requiring that such Notes be in definitive registered form may be required by the Administrator as a condition to such transfer. The Indenture Trustee shall have no duty to monitor the compliance of the provisions of this paragraph and may conclusively rely on the Administrator to do the same.

By acquiring a Note (or interest therein), each Noteholder and Note Owner (and if the Noteholder or Note Owner is a Plan, its fiduciary) is deemed to (a) represent and warrant that either (i) it is not acquiring such Note (or interest therein) with the assets of a Benefit Plan Investor or Plan subject to Similar Law; or (ii) the acquisition and holding of such Note (or interest therein) will not, in the case of a Benefit Plan Investor, give rise to a nonexempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or, in the case of a Plan that is subject to Similar Law, result in a violation of such Similar Law and (b) acknowledge and agree that Benefit Plan Investors and Plans that are subject to Similar Law may not acquire such Note (or any interest therein) at any time that such Note does not have an investment grade rating from at least one nationally recognized statistical rating organization.

The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the transfer of Notes.

Section 2.05            [Reserved].

(2023-A Indenture)

Section 2.06            Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes. If (i) any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Indenture Trustee, or the Indenture Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, and (ii) there is delivered to the Indenture Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by it to hold the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Issuer, the Note Registrar or the Indenture Trustee that such Note has been acquired by a protected purchaser, and provided that the requirements of Section 8-405 of the UCC are met, the Issuer shall execute, and upon an Issuer Order the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a replacement Note of the same Class; provided, however, that if any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, but not a mutilated Note, shall have become or within 15 days shall be due and payable, or shall have been called for redemption, instead of issuing a replacement Note, the Issuer may pay such destroyed, lost or stolen Note when so due or payable or upon the Redemption Date without surrender thereof. If, after the delivery of such replacement Note or payment of a destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a bona fide purchaser of the original Note in lieu of which such replacement Note was issued presents for payment such original Note, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to recover such replacement Note (or such payment) from the Person to whom it was delivered or any Person taking such replacement Note from such Person to whom such replacement Note was delivered or any assignee of such Person, except a protected purchaser, and shall be entitled to recover upon the security or indemnity provided therefor to the extent of any loss, damage, cost or expense incurred by the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee in connection therewith.

Upon the issuance of any replacement Note under this Section, the Issuer may require the payment by the Holder of such Note of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other reasonable expenses (including the fees, expenses and indemnities of the Indenture Trustee) connected therewith.

Every replacement Note issued pursuant to this Section in replacement of any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Issuer, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder.

The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes.

Section 2.07            Persons Deemed Note Owners. Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of any Note, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee may treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered (as of the day of determination) as the owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payments of principal of and interest, if any, on such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note be overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or any agent of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

(2023-A Indenture)

Section 2.08            Payment of Principal and Interest; Defaulted Interest.

(a)            The Class A-1 Notes, the Class A-2-A Notes, the Class A-2-B Notes, the Class A-3 Notes, the Class A-4 Notes, the Class B Notes and the Class C Notes shall accrue interest at the Class A-1 Rate, the Class A-2-A Rate, the Class A-2-B Rate, the Class A-3 Rate, the Class A-4 Rate, the Class B Rate and the Class C Rate, respectively, as set forth in Exhibit A-1, Exhibit A-2-A, Exhibit A-2-B, Exhibit A-3, Exhibit A-4, Exhibit B and Exhibit C, respectively, and such interest shall be payable on each Payment Date as specified therein, subject to Section 3.01. Any installment of interest or principal payable on a Note that is punctually paid or duly provided for by the Issuer on the applicable Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) is registered on the Record Date to such Person as appears on the Note Register on such Record Date, except that, unless Definitive Notes have been issued pursuant to Section 2.12, with respect to Notes registered on the Record Date in the name of the nominee of the Clearing Agency (initially, such nominee to be Cede & Co.), payment shall be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account designated by such nominee, if an account is so designated; provided, however, that the final installment of principal payable with respect to such Note on a Payment Date or on the related Stated Maturity Date (including the Redemption Price for any Note called for redemption pursuant to Section 10.01) shall be payable as provided in paragraph (b) below. The funds represented by any such payments returned undelivered shall be held in accordance with Section 3.03.

(b)            The principal of each Note shall be payable in installments on each Payment Date as provided in Section 3.01 hereof and the forms of the Notes set forth in Exhibit A-1, Exhibit A-2-A, Exhibit A-2-B, Exhibit A-3, Exhibit A-4, Exhibit B and Exhibit C. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire unpaid principal amount of the Notes may be declared immediately due and payable, if not previously paid, in the manner provided in Section 5.02 on any date on which an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, by the Indenture Trustee or the Indenture Trustee acting at the direction of the Holders of Notes representing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class. All principal payments on each Class of Notes shall be made pro rata to the Noteholders of the related Class entitled thereto. Upon written notice thereof, the Indenture Trustee shall notify the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on the Record Date preceding the Payment Date on which the Issuer expects the final installment of principal of and interest on such Note to be paid. Such notice shall specify that such final installment will be payable only upon presentation and surrender of such Note and shall specify the place where such Note may be presented and surrendered for payment of such installment. Notices in connection with redemptions of Notes shall be mailed to Noteholders as provided in Section 10.02.

(c)            For purposes of distributions from the Reserve Account pursuant to Section 5.06(b) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, any portion of the First Priority Principal Distribution Amount, the Second Priority Principal Distribution Amount and the Regular Principal Distribution Amount shall be deemed to be due and payable on any Payment Date on which funds sufficient to pay such portion would be available to make such payment from funds withdrawn from the Reserve Account and distributed with the priorities set forth in accordance with 5.05(b) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the First Priority Principal Distribution Amount, the Second Priority Principal Distribution Amount and the Regular Principal Distribution Amount, or any portion thereof, shall not be due (other than in accordance with Section 2.08(b) above) unless amounts are actually available to make such payments in accordance with Section 5.05(b) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. Additionally, any portion of the First Priority Principal Distribution Amount, the Second Priority Principal Distribution Amount and the Regular Principal Distribution Amount shall be deemed to be due and payable on any date where the Servicer elects to exercise its Optional Purchase and the Issuer redeems the outstanding Notes pursuant to Section 10.01.

(2023-A Indenture)

(d)            If the Issuer defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, the Issuer shall pay defaulted interest (plus interest on such defaulted interest to the extent lawful) at the applicable Interest Rate in any lawful manner on the next Payment Date.

Section 2.09            Cancellation. All Notes surrendered for payment, registration of transfer, exchange or redemption shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Indenture Trustee, be delivered to the Indenture Trustee and shall be promptly cancelled by the Indenture Trustee. The Issuer may at any time deliver to the Indenture Trustee for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated and delivered hereunder that the Issuer may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Notes so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Indenture Trustee. No Notes shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Notes cancelled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All cancelled Notes may be held or disposed of by the Indenture Trustee in accordance with its standard retention or disposal policy as in effect at the time unless the Issuer shall direct by an Issuer Order that they be destroyed or returned to it; provided, that such Issuer Order is timely and the Notes have not been previously disposed of by the Indenture Trustee.

Section 2.10            Book-Entry Notes. The Notes (other than any Restricted Notes, which may be issued in the form of Definitive Notes at the Issuer’s option pursuant to Section 2.12), upon original issuance, will be issued in the form of typewritten Notes representing the Book-Entry Notes, to be delivered to The Depository Trust Company, the initial Clearing Agency, by, or on behalf of, the Issuer. The Book-Entry Notes shall be registered initially on the Note Register in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee of the initial Clearing Agency, and no Note Owner thereof will receive a Definitive Note representing such Note Owner’s interest in such Note, except as provided in Section 2.12. Unless and until definitive, fully registered Notes (the “Definitive Notes”) have been issued to such Note Owners pursuant to Section 2.12:

(a)            the provisions of this Section shall be in full force and effect;

(b)            the Note Registrar and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to deal with the Clearing Agency for all purposes of this Indenture (including the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes and the giving of instructions or directions hereunder) as the sole holder of the Notes, and shall have no obligation to the Note Owners;

(c)            to the extent that the provisions of this Section conflict with any other provisions of this Indenture, the provisions of this Section shall control;

(d)            the rights of Note Owners shall be exercised only through the Clearing Agency and shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such Note Owners and the Clearing Agency or the Clearing Agency Participants pursuant to the Note Depository Agreement. Unless and until Definitive Notes are issued pursuant to Section 2.12, the initial Clearing Agency will make book-entry transfers among the Clearing Agency Participants and receive and transmit payments of principal of and interest on the Notes to such Clearing Agency Participants; and

(2023-A Indenture)

(e)            whenever this Indenture requires or permits actions to be taken based upon instructions or directions of Holders of Notes evidencing a specified percentage of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes or the Controlling Class of Notes, the Clearing Agency shall be deemed to represent such percentage only to the extent that it has received instructions to such effect from Note Owners or Clearing Agency Participants owning or representing, respectively, such required percentage of the beneficial interest in the Notes and has delivered such instructions to the Indenture Trustee.

Section 2.11            Notices to Clearing Agency. Whenever a notice or other communication to the Noteholders is required under this Indenture, unless and until Definitive Notes shall have been issued to such Note Owners pursuant to Section 2.12, the Indenture Trustee shall give all such notices and communications specified herein to be given to Holders of the Notes to the Clearing Agency, and shall have no obligation to such Note Owners.

Section 2.12            Definitive Notes. Any of the Restricted Notes, upon original issuance and at the Issuer’s option, may be in the form of Definitive Notes; provided, however, that at the request of all of the holders thereof, such Restricted Notes may be exchanged for Book-Entry Notes. If (a) the Administrator advises the Indenture Trustee in writing that the Clearing Agency is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities with respect to the Book-Entry Notes and the Administrator is unable to locate a qualified successor or (b) after the occurrence of an Event of Default or a Servicer Termination Event, Note Owners of the Book-Entry Notes representing beneficial interests aggregating at least a majority of the Outstanding Amount of such Notes advise the Clearing Agency in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system through the Clearing Agency is no longer in the best interests of such Note Owners, then the Clearing Agency shall notify all Note Owners, the Administrator and the Indenture Trustee of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of Definitive Notes to Note Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Indenture Trustee of the typewritten Notes representing the Book-Entry Notes by the Clearing Agency, accompanied by registration instructions, the Issuer shall execute and the Indenture Trustee upon an Issuer Order shall authenticate the Definitive Notes in accordance with the written instructions of the Clearing Agency. None of the Issuer, the Note Registrar, the Administrator or the Indenture Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Notes, the Indenture Trustee shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Notes as Noteholders.

Section 2.13            Tax Treatment. The Issuer has entered into this Indenture, and the Notes will be issued, with the intention that, for purposes of U.S. federal and state income tax, franchise tax and any other tax measured in whole or in part by income, the Notes (other than Notes, if any, retained by the Issuer or a Person considered to be the same person as the Issuer for U.S. federal income tax purposes) will be characterized as indebtedness secured by the Trust Estate. The Issuer, by entering into this Indenture, and each Noteholder, by its acceptance of a Note (and each Note Owner by its acceptance of an interest in the applicable Book-Entry Note), agree to treat the Notes (other than Notes, if any, retained by the Issuer or a Person considered to be the same person as the Issuer for U.S. federal income tax purposes) for such purposes as indebtedness.

(2023-A Indenture)

Section 2.14            Tax Forms. Prior to the first Payment Date and promptly upon request, each Noteholder shall provide Tax Information to the Indenture Trustee, the Paying Agent (if any) and/or the Issuer (or other person responsible for withholding of taxes, including but not limited to FATCA Withholding Tax, or delivery of information under FATCA). Each Noteholder (or other owner of a beneficial interest in a Note) is deemed to understand, acknowledge and agree that the Indenture Trustee, Paying Agent and Issuer (or other person responsible for withholding of taxes) have the right to withhold on payments with respect to a Note where an applicable party fails to comply with the requirements set forth in the preceding sentence or the Indenture Trustee, Paying Agent or Issuer (or other person responsible for withholding of taxes) is otherwise required to so withhold under applicable law.

Section 2.15            Transfer Restrictions on Restricted Notes.

(a)            Prior to any sale or transfer of any Restricted Note (or any interest therein), each prospective transferee of such Restricted Note (or any interest therein) shall be required to provide to the Indenture Trustee and Depositor a certification of non-foreign status, in such form that is acceptable to the Depositor or the Indenture Trustee (e.g., IRS Form W-9), signed under penalties of perjury (and such other certification, representations or opinion of counsel as may be requested by the Depositor) or other information or documentation requested by the Depositor to determine, in its sole discretion, that payments on such Restricted Notes will not be subject to withholding under U.S. tax law.

(b)            Prior to any sale or transfer of any Restricted Note (or any interest therein) (except for (x) transfers of Notes to the Depositor or any Affiliate of the Depositor that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code and (y) to the extent that the Depositor has received an opinion of nationally recognized tax counsel to the effect that the transfer of the Restricted Note without any or all of the representations described below will not cause the Issuer to be treated as an association or publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes and the Depositor has consented to such transfer in writing), each prospective transferee of such Restricted Note (or any interest therein) shall be required to provide to the Indenture Trustee, Note Registrar and Depositor a written representation letter, in a form acceptable to the recipients, in which such prospective transferee shall have represented and agreed as follows (unless the Depositor shall have received (and provided notice of such receipt to the Indenture Trustee and the Note Registrar) an opinion of nationally recognized tax counsel to the effect that such transfer without such an accompanying representation letter will not cause the Issuer to be treated as an association or publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes and the Depositor shall consent in writing that no such written representation letter is required, in which case such prospective transferee shall be deemed to have represented and agreed as follows):

(i)            The transferee will provide notice to each Person to whom it proposes to transfer any interest in the Restricted Notes of the transfer restrictions and representations set forth in this Section 2.15(b). Further, the transferee will not transfer any Restricted Note (or any interest therein) to a subsequent transferee unless, prior to the transfer, the subsequent transferee shall have provided to the Indenture Trustee, the Note Registrar and the Depositor a written representation letter as set forth previously in this Section 2.15(b) (unless the Depositor shall have received an opinion of nationally recognized tax counsel as set forth previously in this Section 2.15(b)).

(2023-A Indenture)

(ii)            No transfer of Restricted Notes (or any interest therein) will be permitted to the extent that such transfer would cause the number of direct or indirect holders of an interest in the Restricted Notes and the Certificates to exceed a number equal to 95 Persons. Neither the Indenture Trustee nor the Note Registrar shall have any duty or obligation with respect to the foregoing to ascertain the number of direct or indirect holders of an interest in the Restricted Notes and the Certificates.

(iii)           The transferee warrants it (a) is not, and will not become, a partnership, a corporation taxed under Subchapter S of the Code or grantor trust for U.S. federal income tax purposes (or a disregarded entity the single owner of which is any of the foregoing) or (b) is such an entity, but (x) no more than 50% of the value of any of the direct or indirect beneficial interests in such transferee (or in the case of a disregarded entity, the interests of its single owner) is or will be attributable to such transferee’s (or in the case of a disregarded entity, the single owner’s) interest in Restricted Notes and Certificates and (y) it is not and will not be a principal purpose of the arrangement involving such entity’s beneficial interest in any Restricted Notes or Certificates to permit any partnership to satisfy the 100 partner limitation of Treasury Regulation Section 1.7704-1(h)(1)(ii) necessary for such partnership not to be classified as a publicly traded partnership under the Code.

(iv)           No Noteholder of a Restricted Note shall acquire or transfer any Restricted Note (or any interest therein) or cause any Restricted Notes (or any interest therein) to be marketed on or through an “established securities market” within the meaning of Section 7704(b)(1) of the Code, including, without limitation, an over-the-counter market or an interdealer quotation system that regularly disseminates firm buy or sell quotations.

(v)            If any Restricted Note held by the transferee is required to be treated other than as described under Section 2.13, then the transferee, or, if different, the beneficial owner of such Restricted Note, shall agree to the designation made pursuant to the Trust Agreement of the partnership representative (and the tax matters partner for any applicable state or local tax purposes) of any partnership in which such Noteholder or beneficial owner is deemed to be a partner under Section 6223(a) of the Code and any applicable Treasury Regulations thereunder (and any corresponding provision of state law).

(vi)           (A) Each Noteholder of a Restricted Note shall provide to the Administrator on behalf of the Issuer and the Depositor any further information required by the Issuer to comply with the Sections 6221 through 6241 of the Code (and any corresponding provision of state law), including Section 6226(a) of the Code, (B) if such Noteholder is not the beneficial owner of such Restricted Note, the beneficial owner of such Restricted Note shall provide to the Administrator on behalf of the Issuer and the Depositor any further information required by the Issuer to comply with Sections 6221 through 6241 of the Code (and any corresponding provision of state law), including Section 6226(a) of the Code and, to the extent the Issuer determines such appointment necessary for it to make an election under Section 6226(a) of the Code (or any corresponding provision of state law), hereby appoints the Noteholder as its agent for purposes of receiving any notifications or information pursuant to the notice requirements under Section 6226(a)(2) of the Code (and any corresponding provision of state law) and (C) to the extent applicable, each Noteholder of a Restricted Note and, if different, each beneficial owner of a Restricted Note, shall hold the Issuer and its affiliates harmless for any expenses or losses (i) resulting from a beneficial owner of a Restricted Note not properly taking into account or paying its allocated adjustment or liability under Section 6226 of the Code (or any corresponding provision of state law) or (ii) suffered that are attributable to the management or defense of an audit under Sections 6221 through 6241 of the Code (or any corresponding provision of state law) or otherwise due to actions the Issuer and its affiliates take with respect to and to comply with the rules under Sections 6221 through 6241 of the Code (or any corresponding provision of state law).

(2023-A Indenture)

(vii)          The transferee acknowledges that any transfer in violation of the foregoing will be of no force and effect, will be void ab initio, and will not operate to transfer any rights to the transferee.

(c)            Unless the Depositor has received an opinion of nationally recognized tax counsel to the effect that the transfer of the Restricted Note without the representation pursuant to this subsection (c) will not cause the Issuer to be treated as an association or publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes and the Depositor has consented to such transfer in writing (with notice to the Indenture Trustee and Note Registrar), (i) the interests in the Restricted Notes and the Certificates together may at no time be held by more than 95 Persons and (ii) no transfer of Restricted Notes (or any interest therein) will be permitted to the extent that such transfer could cause the number of direct or indirect holders of an interest in the Restricted Notes and the Certificates to exceed a number equal to 95 Persons. Neither the Indenture Trustee nor the Note Registrar shall have any duty or obligation with respect to the foregoing to ascertain the number of direct or indirect holders of an interest in the Restricted Notes and the Certificates.

(d)            Any transfer in violation of the provisions of Section 2.15 of the Indenture will be of no force and effect, will be void ab initio, and will not operate to transfer any rights to the transferee. The provisions of Section 2.15(b) and (c) of the Indenture generally are intended to prevent the Issuer from being characterized as a “publicly traded partnership” within the meaning of Section 7704 of the Code, in reliance on Treasury Regulations Sections 1.7704-1, and the provisions shall be interpreted taking such intent into account in determining whether or not the requirements of Section 2.15(b) and (c) of the Indenture have been complied with in connection with any proposed transfer of any Restricted Note (or interest therein).

(e)            Each Restricted Note will bear a legend in substantially the following form:

THIS NOTE OR ANY INTEREST HEREIN HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”) OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES, AND THE ISSUER HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT OF 1940, AS AMENDED (THE “INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT”). THIS NOTE OR ANY INTEREST HEREIN MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, EXCEPT IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT OR ANY OTHER APPLICABLE SECURITIES OR “BLUE SKY” LAWS, PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION THEREFROM (INCLUDING TO A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER WITHIN THE MEANING OF RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT WHO IS EITHER PURCHASING FOR ITS OWN ACCOUNT OR FOR THE ACCOUNT OF A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER) OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT THERETO. FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT, THIS NOTE OR ANY INTEREST HEREIN MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED TO THE DEPOSITOR OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES.

(2023-A Indenture)

EACH PURCHASER OR TRANSFEREE OF THIS NOTE WILL BE REQUIRED TO PROVIDE TO THE INDENTURE TRUSTEE, THE NOTE REGISTRAR AND THE DEPOSITOR A LETTER IN THE FORM OF ANNEX A TO THE INDENTURE CONTAINING CERTAIN REPRESENTATIONS AND AGREEMENTS, INCLUDING THAT NO TRANSFER OF THIS NOTE OR ANY INTEREST HEREIN WILL BE PERMITTED IF SUCH TRANSFER WOULD CAUSE THE NUMBER OF DIRECT OR INDIRECT HOLDERS OF AN INTEREST IN THE RESTRICTED NOTES AND CERTIFICATES ISSUED UNDER THE TRUST AGREEMENT (AS DEFINED IN THE INDENTURE) TO EXCEED A NUMBER EQUAL TO 95 PERSONS UNLESS A DEBT-FOR-TAX OPINION HAS BEEN DELIVERED. ANY TRANSFER IN VIOLATION OF THE FOREGOING WILL BE OF NO FORCE AND EFFECT, WILL BE VOID AB INITIO, AND WILL NOT OPERATE TO TRANSFER ANY RIGHTS TO THE TRANSFEREE.

EACH PURCHASER OR TRANSFEREE OF THIS NOTE WILL BE REQUIRED TO PROVIDE TO THE INDENTURE TRUSTEE AND THE DEPOSITOR A CERTIFICATION OF NON-FOREIGN STATUS, IN SUCH FORM AS MAY BE ACCEPTABLE TO THE DEPOSITOR, SIGNED UNDER PENALTIES OF PERJURY or other information or documentation requested by the Depositor to determine, in its sole discretion, that payments on the Notes will not be subject to withholding under U.S. tax law.

(f)            The restrictions on transfer of any Notes retained by the Issuer or a Person that is considered the same person as the Issuer for U.S. federal income tax purposes provided in the seventh paragraph of Section 2.04 shall not continue to apply in the event the Indenture Trustee and the Depositor have received the Initial Certificate Transfer Opinion.

(2023-A Indenture)

(g)            Upon any sale or transfer of any Note (or interest therein) that was retained by the Issuer or a Person that is considered the same person as the Issuer for U.S. federal income tax purposes as of the Closing Date, if for tax or other reasons it may be necessary to track any such Note (e.g., if the Notes have original issue discount), tracking conditions such as requiring that such Notes be in definitive registered form may be required by the Depositor or the Administrator as a condition to such transfer and the Administrator shall provide prior written notice of such sale or transfer and tracking condition to the Indenture Trustee.

ARTICLE III.
COVENANTS

Section 3.01            Payment of Principal and Interest; Determination of SOFR; Benchmark Replacement.

(a)            The Issuer will duly and punctually pay the principal of and interest, if any, on the Notes in accordance with the terms of the Notes and this Indenture. Without limiting the foregoing, subject to Section 8.02(c), on each Payment Date, the Issuer will cause to be distributed all amounts deposited in the Collection Account which represent Available Amounts for such Payment Date pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement (a) for the benefit of the Class A-1 Notes, to the Class A-1 Noteholders, (b) for the benefit of the Class A-2-A Notes, to the Class A-2-A Noteholders, (c) for the benefit of the Class of A-2-B Notes, to the Class of A-2-B Noteholders, (d) the Class A-3 Notes, to the Class A-3 Noteholders, (e) for the benefit of the Class A-4 Notes, to the Class A-4 Noteholders, (f) for the benefit of the Class B Notes, to the Class B Noteholders and (g) for the benefit of the Class C Notes, to the Class C Noteholders. Amounts properly withheld under the Code by any Person from a payment to any Noteholder of interest and/or principal shall be considered as having been paid by the Issuer to such Noteholder for all purposes of this Indenture.

(b)            The Indenture Trustee initially shall be the “Calculation Agent” for the purpose of identifying SOFR and calculating the SOFR Rate pursuant to this Section 3.01. Upon any resignation of the Calculation Agent, the Administrator shall promptly appoint a successor or, if it elects not to make such an appointment, assume the duties of Calculation Agent. If a Person other than the Indenture Trustee is appointed by the Administrator as the Calculation Agent, the Administrator will give the Indenture Trustee prompt written notice of the appointment of the Calculation Agent.

(c)            So long as the Class A-2-B Notes are Outstanding, the Calculation Agent shall obtain SOFR in accordance with the definition of “SOFR Rate” on each SOFR Adjustment Date and shall promptly provide such rate to the Administrator or such person as directed by the Administrator. All determinations of SOFR by the Calculation Agent, in the absence of manifest error, will be conclusive and binding on the Noteholders.

(2023-A Indenture)

(d)            If the Administrator determines prior to the relevant Reference Time that a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the determination of the then-current Benchmark, the Benchmark Replacement determined by the Administrator will replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes relating to the Class A-2-B Notes in respect of such determination on such date and all such determinations on all subsequent dates. The Administrator shall deliver written notice to each Rating Agency and the Calculation Agent on any SOFR Adjustment Date if, as of the applicable Reference Time, the Administrator has determined with respect to the related Interest Period that there will be a change in the SOFR Rate or the terms related thereto since the immediately preceding SOFR Adjustment Date due to a determination by the Administrator that a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred. The Administrator shall have the right to make SOFR Conforming Changes and, in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, from time to time.

(e)            All percentages resulting from any calculation on the Class A-2-B Notes shall be rounded to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point, with five-millionths of a percentage point rounded upwards (e.g., 9.8765445% (or 0.098765445) would be rounded to 9.87655% (or 0.0987655)), and all dollar amounts used in or resulting from that calculation on the Class A-2-B Notes will be rounded to the nearest cent (with one-half cent being rounded upwards).

(f)            Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrator or any other Person in connection with a Benchmark Transition Event, a Benchmark Replacement Conforming Change or a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this Sections 3.01 (or pursuant to any capitalized term used in this Sections 3.01 or in any such capitalized term), including any determination with respect to administrative feasibility (whether due to technical, administrative or operational issues), a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error, may be made in the Administrator’s sole discretion, and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Basic Documents, will become effective without the consent of any other Person (including any Noteholder). The Class A-2-B Noteholders shall not have any right to approve or disapprove of these changes and shall be deemed by their acceptance of a Note to have agreed to waive and release any and all claims relating to any such determinations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Basic Documents, none of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Administrator, the Calculation Agent, the Paying Agent, the Sponsor, the Depositor or the Servicer will have any liability for any action or inaction taken or refrained from being taken by it with respect to any Benchmark, Benchmark Transition Event, Benchmark Replacement Date, Benchmark Replacement, Benchmark Replacement Adjustment, Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes or any other matters related to or arising in connection with the foregoing. Each Noteholder and beneficial owner of Notes, by its acceptance of a Note or a beneficial interest in a Note, will be deemed to waive and release any and all claims against the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Calculation Agent, the Paying Agent, the Administrator, the Sponsor, the Depositor and the Servicer relating to any such determinations.

(g)            None of the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Calculation Agent shall be under any obligation (i) to monitor, determine or verify the unavailability or cessation of SOFR, the Benchmark or Benchmark Replacement or whether or when there has occurred, or to give notice to any other transaction party of the occurrence of, any event giving rise to the replacement of the SOFR Rate or a Benchmark Replacement (each of which shall be determined by Administrator), (ii) to select, identify or designate any Benchmark Replacement, or other successor or replacement benchmark index, any Benchmark Replacement Date, any Benchmark Transition Event, or whether any conditions to the designation of such a rate have been satisfied, (iii) to select, identify or designate any Benchmark Replacement Adjustment, or other modifier to any replacement or successor index or (iv) to determine whether or what SOFR Conforming Changes, Benchmark Replacement Rate Conforming Changes or other amendments are necessary or advisable, if any, in connection with any of the foregoing.

(2023-A Indenture)

(h)            None of the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Calculation Agent shall be liable for any inability, failure or delay on its part to perform any of its duties set forth in this Indenture or any other Basic Document as a result of the unavailability of SOFR Rate or Benchmark and absence of the designation of a Benchmark Replacement Rate, including as a result of any inability, delay, error or inaccuracy on the part of any other transaction party, including without limitation the Administrator, in providing any direction, instruction, notice or information required or contemplated by the terms of this Indenture and reasonably required for the performance of such duties.

(i)             Neither the Indenture Trustee nor the Calculation Agent shall have any liability for any interest rate published by any publication that is the source for determining the Interest Rates of the Class A-2-B Notes, including but not limited to the Reuters Screen (or any successor source), the FRBNY's website, the Bloomberg Financial Markets Commodities News or any successor thereto, or for any rates published on any publicly available source or in any of the foregoing cases for any delay, error or inaccuracy in the publication of any such rates, or for any subsequent correction or adjustment thereto.

Section 3.02            Maintenance of Office or Agency.

Such office will initially be located at Citibank, N.A., 000 Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx, 00^xx Xxxxx, Xxxxxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxxxx, 00000, Attention: Agency & Trust – XXXX 2023-A. The Issuer will give prompt written notice to the Indenture Trustee of the location, and of any change in the location, of any such office or agency. If at any time the Issuer shall fail to maintain any such office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Indenture Trustee with the address thereof, such surrenders may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office, and the Issuer hereby appoints the Indenture Trustee as its agent to receive all such surrenders. In addition, notices and demands to or upon the Issuer in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served at the address set forth in Section 11.04(b) hereof.

(a)            If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, then and in every such case the Indenture Trustee may, and if so directed in writing by the Holders of Notes representing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class of Notes shall, declare all the Notes to be then immediately due and payable, by a notice in writing to the Issuer (and to the Indenture Trustee if given by Noteholders), and upon any such declaration the Outstanding Amount of such Notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon through the date of acceleration, shall become immediately due and payable.

(b)            In case the Issuer shall fail forthwith to pay such amounts upon such demand, the Indenture Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a Proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute such Proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce the same against the Issuer or other obligor on such Notes and collect in the manner provided by law out of the Trust Estate or the property of any other obligor on such Notes, wherever situated, the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable.

(e)            Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Indenture Trustee to authorize or consent to or vote for or accept or adopt on behalf of any Noteholder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Indenture Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Noteholder in any such proceeding except, as aforesaid, to vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar Person.

(b)            (i)            Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8.02, following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default specified in Section 5.01(a), 5.01(b), 5.01(d) or 5.01(e) which has resulted in an acceleration of the Notes (or following the occurrence of any such event after an Event of Default specified in Section 5.01(c) has occurred and the Trust Estate has been liquidated), if the Indenture Trustee collects any money or property, it shall pay out such money or property (and other amounts including amounts held on deposit in the Reserve Account) held as Collateral for the benefit of the Noteholders, net of liquidation costs associated with the sale of the Trust Estate, in the following order:

FIFTH: to Holders of the Class A-1 Notes for amounts due and unpaid on the Class A-1 Notes in respect of principal, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Class A-1 Notes in respect of principal, until the Outstanding Amount of the Class A-1 Notes is reduced to zero;

If the Notes have been declared to be due and payable under Section 5.02 following an Event of Default, and such declaration and its consequences have not been rescinded and annulled, the Indenture Trustee may, but need not, elect to maintain possession of the Trust Estate. It is the desire of the parties hereto and the Noteholders that there be at all times sufficient funds for the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes, and the Indenture Trustee shall take such desire into account when determining whether or not to maintain possession of the Trust Estate. In determining whether or not to maintain possession of the Trust Estate, the Indenture Trustee may, at the expense of the Issuer and paid in the priority set forth in Section 5.05(b) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, but need not, obtain and conclusively 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 Trust Estate for such purpose.

Section 5.06            Limitation of Suits.

(a)            such Holder has previously given written notice to the Indenture Trustee of a continuing Event of Default;

(b)            the Event of Default arises from the Servicer’s failure to remit payments when due or the Holders of not less than 25% of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class of Notes have made written request to the Indenture Trustee to institute such Proceeding in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Indenture Trustee hereunder;

(c)            such Holder or Holders have offered to the Indenture Trustee reasonable indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities that may be incurred in complying with such request;

(d)            the Indenture Trustee for sixty (60) days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute such Proceedings; and

(2023-A Indenture)

It is understood and intended that no one or more Holders of Notes shall have any right in any manner whatsoever 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 Indenture Trustee shall receive conflicting or inconsistent requests and indemnity from two or more groups of Holders of Notes pursuant to this Section, each representing less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class of Notes, the Indenture Trustee shall act at the direction of the group representing the greater percentage of the Outstanding Amount of Notes and if there is no such group then in its sole discretion may determine what action, if any, shall be taken, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture.

Section 5.07            Unconditional Rights of Noteholders To Receive Principal and Interest. Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Indenture, the Holder of any Note shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and interest, if any, on such Note on or after the respective due dates thereof expressed in such Note or in this Indenture (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such right shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.

Section 5.08            Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Indenture 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 Indenture Trustee or to such Noteholder, then and in every such case the Issuer, the Indenture 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 Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders shall continue as though no such Proceeding had been instituted.

Section 5.09            Rights and Remedies Cumulative. No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Indenture 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 5.10            Delay or Omission Not a Waiver. No delay or omission of the Indenture 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 V or by law to the Indenture Trustee or to the Noteholders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders, as the case may be.

(2023-A Indenture)

Section 5.11            Control by the Controlling Class of Noteholders. The Holders of a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class of Notes shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any Proceeding for any remedy available to the Indenture Trustee with respect to the Notes or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Indenture Trustee; provided, that:

(a)            such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture;

(b)            subject to the express terms of Section 5.04, any direction to the Indenture Trustee to sell or liquidate the Trust Estate shall be by Holders of Notes representing not less than 100% of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class of Notes;

(c)            if the conditions set forth in Section 5.05 have been satisfied and the Indenture Trustee elects to retain the Trust Estate pursuant to such Section, then any written direction to the Indenture Trustee by Holders of Notes representing less than 100% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes to sell or liquidate the Trust Estate shall be of no force and effect; and

(d)            the Indenture Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Indenture Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction.

Notwithstanding the rights of Noteholders set forth in this Section, subject to Section 6.01, the Indenture Trustee need not take any action that it determines might involve it in liability or might materially adversely affect the rights of any Noteholders not consenting to such action.

Section 5.12            Waiver of Past Defaults. Prior to the declaration of the acceleration of the maturity of the Notes as provided in Section 5.02, the Holders of Notes of not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class of Notes may waive any past Default or Event of Default and its consequences except a Default (a) in payment of principal of or interest on any of the Notes or (b) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof that cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Note. In the case of any such waiver, the Issuer, the Indenture 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 thereto.

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 thereto.

Section 5.13            Undertaking for Costs. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of a Note by such Xxxxxx’s 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 Indenture Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Indenture 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 shall not apply to (a) any suit instituted by the Indenture Trustee, (b) any suit instituted by any Noteholder, or group of Noteholders, in each case holding in the aggregate more than 10% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes (or in the case of a right or remedy under this Indenture which is instituted by the Controlling Class, more than 10% of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class) or (c) 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 redemption, on or after the Redemption Date).

(2023-A Indenture)

Section 5.14            Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. The Issuer covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Issuer (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Indenture Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

Section 5.15            Action on Notes. The Indenture Trustee’s right to seek and recover judgment on the Notes or under this Indenture shall not be affected by the seeking, obtaining or application of any other relief under or with respect to this Indenture. Neither the lien of this Indenture nor any rights or remedies of the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders shall be impaired by the recovery of any judgment by the Indenture Trustee against the Issuer or by the levy of any execution under such judgment upon any portion of the Trust Estate or upon any of the assets of the Issuer. Any money or property collected by the Indenture Trustee shall be applied in accordance with Section 5.04(b).

Section 5.16            Performance and Enforcement of Certain Obligations.

(a)            Promptly following a request from the Indenture Trustee to do so and at the Administrator’s expense, the Issuer shall take all such lawful action as the Indenture Trustee may request to compel or secure the performance and observance by the Seller or the Servicer, as applicable, of each of their obligations to the Issuer under or in connection with the Sale and Servicing Agreement or the Receivables Purchase Agreement, as applicable, and to exercise any and all rights, remedies, powers and privileges lawfully available to the Issuer under or in connection with the Sale and Servicing Agreement or the Receivables Purchase Agreement to the extent and in the manner directed by the Indenture Trustee, including the transmission of notices of default on the part of either Seller or the Servicer thereunder and the institution of legal or administrative actions or proceedings to compel or secure performance by the Seller or the Servicer of each of their obligations under the Sale and Servicing Agreement and the Receivables Purchase Agreement; provided, however, nothing herein shall in any way impose on the Indenture Trustee the duty to monitor the performance of the Seller or the Servicer of any of their liabilities, duties or obligations under any Basic Document.

(2023-A Indenture)

(b)            If an Event of Default has occurred, the Indenture Trustee may, and at the direction (which direction shall be in writing) of the Holders of not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class of Notes shall, exercise all rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims of the Issuer against the Seller or the Servicer under or in connection with the Sale and Servicing Agreement and the Receivables Purchase Agreement, including the right or power to take any action to compel or secure performance or observance by the Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, of each of their obligations to the Issuer thereunder and to give any consent, request, notice, direction, approval, extension or waiver under the Sale and Servicing Agreement and the Receivables Purchase Agreement, as the case may be, and any right of the Issuer to take such action shall be suspended.

(a)            If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing of which a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee has actual knowledge, the Indenture Trustee shall exercise 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.

Except during the continuance of an Event of Default of which a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee has actual knowledge, the Indenture 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 Indenture Trustee. In the absence of bad faith or negligence on its part, the Indenture Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon the face value of the certificates, reports, resolutions, documents, orders, opinions or other instruments furnished to the Indenture Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee shall not be responsible for the accuracy or content of any such resolution, certificate, statement, opinion, report, document, order or other instrument; however, the Indenture Trustee shall examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture. If any such instrument is found not to conform in any material respect to the requirements of this Agreement, the Indenture Trustee shall notify the Noteholders of such instrument in the event that the Indenture Trustee, after so requesting, does not receive a satisfactorily corrected instrument.

(b)            The Indenture Trustee may not be relieved from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct, except that:

(i)            this paragraph does not limit the effect of paragraph (a) of this Section;

(ii)            the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer unless it is proved that the Indenture Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and

(iii)           the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to the terms of this Indenture or any other Basic Documents.

(2023-A Indenture)

(c)            The Indenture Trustee shall not incur any liability for not performing any act if such delay or failure was caused by forces beyond the control of the Indenture Trustee, including strikes, work stoppages, acts of war or terrorism, insurrection, revolution, nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of God, epidemic or pandemic, interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications or computer (software and hardware) services provided to the Indenture Trustee; it being understood that the Indenture Trustee shall use reasonable efforts which are consistent with accepted practice in the banking industry to resume performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances.

(d)            Every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Indenture Trustee is subject to this Section.

(e)            The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for indebtedness evidenced by or arising under any of the Basic Documents, including principal of or interest on the Notes, or interest on any money received by it except as the Indenture Trustee may agree in writing with the Issuer.

(f)            Money held in trust by the Indenture Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law or the terms of this Indenture or the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

(g)            No provision of this Indenture shall require the Indenture Trustee to advance, expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur 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 to believe that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

(h)            Every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Indenture Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section and to the provisions of the TIA.

(i)            In no event shall the Indenture Trustee be required to perform, or be responsible for the manner of performance of, any of the obligations of the Servicer or any other party under the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

(j)            The Indenture Trustee shall have no duty (i) to see to any recording, filing, or depositing of this Indenture or any agreement referred to herein or any financing statement or continuation statement evidencing a security interest, or to see to the maintenance of any such recording or filing or depositing or to any rerecording, re-filing or redepositing of any thereof, (ii) to see to any insurance, or (iii) to see to the payment or discharge of any tax, assessment, or other governmental charge or any lien or encumbrance of any kind owing with respect to, assessed or levied against, any part of the Trust Fund.

The Indenture Trustee, or a Responsible Officer thereof, shall only be charged with actual knowledge of any default, an Event of Default or a breach of any representation or warranty by the Servicer, the Owner Trustee, the Depositor, the Seller or the Issuer under any Basic Document if a Responsible Officer actually knows of such default, Event of Default or breach or the Indenture Trustee receives written notice of such default, Event of Default or breach from the Issuer, the Servicer or Noteholders owning Notes aggregating not less than 10% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indenture Trustee shall not be required to take notice and in the absence of such actual notice and knowledge, the Indenture Trustee may conclusively assume that there is no such default, Event of Default or breach.

(i)             The Indenture Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or surety in respect of the powers granted hereunder.

Section 6.04            Individual Rights of Indenture Trustee. The Indenture Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Indenture Trustee. Any Paying Agent, Note Registrar, Calculation Agent, co-registrar or co-paying agent may do the same with like rights. However, the Indenture Trustee must comply with Section 6.12.

Section 6.05            Indenture Trustee’s Disclaimer. The Indenture Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture, the Trust Estate or the Notes, it shall not be accountable for the Issuer’s use of the proceeds from the Notes, and it shall not be responsible for any statement of the Issuer in the Indenture, any Basic Document or in any document issued in connection with the sale of the Notes or in the Notes other than the Indenture Trustee’s certificate of authentication.

Section 6.06            Notice of Defaults. If a Default occurs and is continuing and if it is actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee shall mail to each Noteholder notice of the Default within thirty (30) days after it occurs. Except in the case of a Default in payment of principal of or interest on any Note (including payments pursuant to the mandatory redemption provisions of such Note), the Indenture Trustee may withhold the notice to Noteholders if and so long as a committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of Noteholders.

Section 6.07            Reports by Indenture Trustee to Holders. Solely from information provided by the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee shall make available to each Noteholder such information as may be required to enable such holder to prepare its U.S. federal and state income tax returns.

Section 6.08            Compensation and Indemnity. The Issuer shall cause the Servicer to pay to the Indenture Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation for its services. The Indenture Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Issuer shall cause the Servicer to reimburse the Indenture Trustee for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it, including costs of collection, in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include but are not limited to the reasonable out-of-pocket compensation and expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee’s agents, counsel, accountants and experts. The Issuer shall cause the Servicer to indemnify the Indenture Trustee against any and all loss, liability or expense (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by it in connection with the administration of this trust and the performance of its duties hereunder or under the Sale and Servicing Agreement or under any other Basic Document or in connection with the Notes. The Indenture Trustee shall notify the Issuer and the Servicer promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Indenture Trustee to so notify the Issuer and the Servicer shall not relieve the Issuer or the Servicer of its obligations hereunder. The Issuer shall, or shall cause the Servicer to, defend any such claim, and the Indenture Trustee may have separate counsel and the Issuer shall, or shall cause the Administrator to, pay the fees and expenses of such counsel. Neither the Issuer nor the Servicer need reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Indenture Trustee through the Indenture Trustee’s own willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the Indenture Trustee be liable for special, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), even if the Indenture Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

(2023-A Indenture)

The Issuer’s obligations to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section shall survive the discharge of this Indenture or the earlier resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee. When the Indenture Trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence of a Default specified in Section 5.01(d) or (e) with respect to the Issuer, the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under Title 11 of the United States Code or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.

No resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee and no appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section 6.09. The Indenture Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the Issuer, the Servicer and the Administrator (and the Administrator shall notify each Rating Agency). The Holders of a majority in Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class of Notes may remove the Indenture Trustee by notifying the Indenture Trustee if:

(a)            the Indenture Trustee fails to comply with Section 6.12;

(b)            the Indenture Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent;

(d)            the Indenture Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting; or

(e)            the Indenture Trustee breaches any representation, warranty or covenant made by it under any Basic Document.

If the Indenture Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Indenture Trustee for any reason (the Indenture Trustee in such event being referred to herein as the retiring Indenture Trustee), the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor Indenture Trustee.

A successor Indenture Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Indenture Trustee and the Issuer. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Indenture Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Indenture Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture. The retiring Indenture Trustee shall be paid all amounts owed to it upon its resignation or removal. The successor Indenture Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to Noteholders. The retiring Indenture Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Indenture Trustee to the successor Indenture Trustee. The retiring Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for the acts or omissions of any Successor Indenture Trustee.

Section 6.10            Successor Indenture Trustee by Xxxxxx. If the Indenture Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all its corporate trust business or assets to, another corporation or banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation without any further act shall be the successor Indenture Trustee; provided, that such corporation or banking association shall be qualified and eligible under Section 6.12.

In case at the time such successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation to the Indenture Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture any of the Notes shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Indenture Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor trustee and deliver such Notes so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Notes shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Indenture Trustee may authenticate such Notes either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor to the Indenture Trustee; and in all such cases such certificates shall have the full force that it is anywhere in the Notes or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Indenture Trustee shall have.

If required by TIA Section 313(a), within 60 days after each March 31, beginning with March 31, 2024, the Indenture Trustee shall mail to each Noteholder as required by TIA Section 313(c) a brief report dated as of such date that complies with TIA Section 313(a). The Indenture Trustee also shall comply with TIA Section 313(b). A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to Noteholders shall be filed by the Indenture Trustee with the Commission and each stock exchange, if any, on which the Notes are listed. The Issuer shall notify the Indenture Trustee if and when the Notes are listed on any stock exchange.

Section 7.05            Noteholder and Note Owner Demand for Asset Representations Review. If the Delinquency Percentage on any Payment Date exceeds the Delinquency Trigger for that Payment Date, the Servicer will notify the Noteholders and Note Owners of that occurrence on the Form 10-D filed for that Payment Date. On or after such Payment Date, a Noteholder (if the Notes are represented by Definitive Notes) or Note Owner (if the Notes are represented by Book-Entry Notes), which in each case provides the documentation set forth in Section 7.02(b)(iii), may make a demand on the Indenture Trustee in accordance with Section 11.03 to cause a vote of the Noteholders or Note Owners, as applicable, about whether to direct the Asset Representations Reviewer to conduct an Asset Representations Review. The Servicer will notify investors of the initiation of such a vote on the Form 10-D filed for that Payment Date. If Noteholders and Note Owners of at least 5% in the aggregate of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes demand a vote within 90 days after the filing of the Form 10-D in which the occurrence of the Delinquency Trigger being met or exceeded was reported, the Indenture Trustee will promptly request a vote of the Noteholders (through the Clearing Agency) and Note Owners. The Indenture Trustee shall set a record date for purposes of determining the identity of Noteholders or Note Owners, as applicable, entitled to vote in accordance with TIA Section 316(c) as of the date of filing of the Form 10-D that disclosed that the Delinquency Percentage met or exceeded the Delinquency Trigger. The vote will be initiated no later than 90 days after the filing of the Form 10-D reporting that the Delinquency Percentage met or exceeded the Delinquency Trigger for that Payment Date and will be completed no later than 150 days after such Form 10-D filing. The Servicer shall pay the costs, expenses and liabilities incurred by the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee and the Issuer in connection with the voting process, including the costs and expenses of counsel. The Servicer and the Administrator on behalf of the Issuer shall cooperate with the Indenture Trustee to facilitate the voting process. If the Noteholders and Note Owners of a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes that are voted agree for an Asset Representations Review to be conducted, the Indenture Trustee will promptly send a Review Notice to the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Servicer and the Issuer and will direct the Asset Representations Reviewer to commence the Asset Representations Review. Following the completion of the voting process, the next Form 10-D filed by the Depositor will disclose whether or not the Noteholders and Note Owners have voted for an Asset Representations Review.

(iii)            Whenever any property or securities are to be released from the lien of this Indenture, the Issuer shall also furnish to the Indenture Trustee an Officer’s Certificate certifying or stating the opinion of each person signing such certificate as to the fair value (within 90 days of such release) of the property or securities proposed to be released and stating that in the opinion of such person the proposed release will not impair the security under this Indenture in contravention of the provisions hereof.

(iv)            Other than with respect to the release of any Purchased Receivable, the Issuer is required to furnish to the Indenture Trustee an Officer’s Certificate certifying or stating the opinion of any signer thereof as to the matters described in clause (iii) above, the Issuer shall also furnish to the Indenture Trustee an Independent Certificate as to the same matters if the fair value of the property or securities and of all other property, other than property as contemplated by clause (v) below, or securities released from the lien of this Indenture since the commencement of the then-current calendar year, as set forth in the certificates required by clause (iii) above and this clause (iv), equals 10% or more of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, but such certificate need not be furnished in the case of any release of property or securities if the fair value thereof as set forth in the related Officer’s Certificate is less than $25,000 or less than one percent of the then Outstanding Amount of the Notes.

(v)            Notwithstanding Section 4.04 or any other provision of this Section, the Issuer may, without compliance with the requirements of the other provisions of this Section, (A) collect, liquidate, sell or otherwise dispose of Receivables and Financed Vehicles as and to the extent permitted or required by the Basic Documents and (B) make cash payments out of the Trust Accounts as and to the extent permitted or required by the Basic Documents.

Section 11.02            Form of Documents Delivered to Indenture 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.

(2023-A Indenture)

Any certificate or opinion of an Authorized 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 such officer’s certificate or opinion is based are erroneous. Any such certificate of an Authorized Officer or Opinion of Counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, an officer or officers of the Servicer, the Seller, the Issuer or the Administrator, stating that the information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the Servicer, the Seller, the Issuer or the Administrator, 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 Indenture 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 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 Indenture Trustee’s right to rely upon the truth and accuracy of any statement or opinion contained in any such document as provided in Article VI.

Section 11.03            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 instruments of substantially similar tenor 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 Indenture 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 6.01) conclusive in favor of the Indenture 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 Indenture Trustee deems sufficient.

(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 Indenture Trustee or the Issuer in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Note.

(2023-A Indenture)

Section 11.04          Notices, etc., to Indenture Trustee, Issuer and Rating Agencies. Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Noteholders or other documents provided or permitted by this Indenture shall be in writing and, if such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or act of Noteholders is to be made upon, given or furnished to or filed with:

(a)            the Indenture 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 Indenture Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office; or

(b)            the Issuer by the Indenture 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: Hyundai Auto Receivables Trust 2023-A, in care of U.S. Bank Trust National Association, as Owner Trustee, U.S. Bank Trust National Association, 0000 Xxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000, or at any other address previously furnished in writing to the Indenture Trustee by the Issuer or the Administrator. The Issuer shall promptly transmit any notice received by it from the Noteholders to the Indenture Trustee.

Notices required to be given to the Rating Agencies shall be in writing, personally delivered, electronically delivered or mailed by certified mail, return receipt requested, to (i) in the case of Fitch, to Fitch Ratings, Inc., 000 X. 00xx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, XX 00000, Attention: Asset Backed Surveillance and (ii) in the case of S&P, via electronic delivery to Xxxxxxxx_xxxxxxx@xxxxx.xxx or at the following address: S&P Global Ratings, 00 Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, Attention of Asset Backed Surveillance Department; or as to each of the foregoing, at such other address as shall be designated by written notice to the other parties.

Section 11.05            Notices to Noteholders; Waiver. Where this Indenture provides for notice to Noteholders of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class, postage prepaid to each Noteholder affected by such event, at such Holder’s 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 Indenture 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 to 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 Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to be a sufficient giving of such notice.

(2023-A Indenture)

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.

Section 11.06            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, or notice by the Indenture Trustee or any Paying Agent to such Holder, that is different from the methods provided for in this Indenture for such payments or notices, provided that the Issuer agrees to pay any additional expenses incurred as a result of such alternative payment or notice provision. The Issuer will furnish to the Indenture Trustee a copy of each such agreement and the Indenture Trustee will cause payments to be made and notices to be given in accordance with such agreements. The Indenture Trustee shall provide a copy of any request made pursuant to this Section 11.06 to the Owner Trustee.

Section 11.07            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 11.08            Successors and Assigns. All covenants and agreements in this Indenture and the Notes by the Issuer shall bind its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not. All agreements of the Indenture Trustee in this Indenture shall bind its successors, co-trustees and agents.

Section 11.09            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 11.10            Benefits of Indenture. The Owner Trustee is an express third party beneficiary of this Indenture. Except as provided in this Section, 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, and the Noteholders, and any other party secured hereunder, and any other Person with an ownership interest in any part of the Trust Estate, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture.

Section 11.11            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 11.12            GOVERNING LAW. THIS INDENTURE SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS, AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.

(2023-A Indenture)

Section 11.13            Counterparts; Electronic Signatures and Transmission.

(a)            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. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Indenture by Electronic Transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Indenture.

(b)            For purposes of this Indenture, any reference to “written” or “in writing” means any form of written communication, including, without limitation, electronic signatures, and any such written communication may be transmitted by Electronic Transmission. The Indenture Trustee and the Issuer are authorized to accept written instructions, directions, reports, notices or other communications signed manually, by way of facsimiled signatures, or delivered by Electronic Transmission. In the absence of bad faith or negligence on its part, each of the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer may conclusively rely on the fact that the Person sending instructions, directions, reports, notices or other communications or information by Electronic Transmission is, in fact, a Person authorized to give such instructions, directions, reports, notices or other communications or information on behalf of the party purporting to send such Electronic Transmission and, in the absence of bad faith or negligence, shall not have any liability for any losses, liabilities, costs or expenses incurred or sustained by any party as a result of such reliance upon or compliance with such instructions, directions, reports, notices or other communications or information to the Indenture Trustee or the Issuer, including, without limitation, the risk of either the Indenture Trustee or Issuer acting on unauthorized instructions, notices, reports or other communications or information, and the risk of interception and misuse by third parties.

(c)            The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” “delivery,” and words of like import in or relating to any document to be signed in connection with this Indenture and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to include electronic signatures, deliveries or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture, documentation with respect to a transfer of securities presented to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or any transfer agent must be in the form of original documents with manually executed signatures.

(d)            Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture, any and all communications (both text and attachments) by or from the Indenture Trustee that the Indenture Trustee in its sole discretion deems to contain confidential, proprietary and/or sensitive information and sent by Electronic Transmission will be encrypted. The recipient of the Electronic Transmission may be required to complete a one-time registration process.

(2023-A Indenture)

Section 11.14            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 the expense of the Servicer accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel (which may be counsel to the Indenture Trustee or any other counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indenture 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 Indenture Trustee under this Indenture.

Section 11.15            Trust Obligation.

(a)            No recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee on the Notes or under this Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith or therewith, against (i) the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, (ii) any owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, including the Seller, or (iii) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer, director, employee or agent of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, any holder of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee or of any successor or assign of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, except as any such Person may have expressly agreed (it being understood that the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee have no such obligations in their individual capacity). For all purposes of this Indenture, in the performance of any duties or obligations of the Issuer hereunder, the Owner Trustee shall be subject to, and entitled to the benefits of, the terms and provisions of Article VI, VII and VIII of the Trust Agreement.

(b)            In furtherance of and not in derogation of the foregoing, to the extent the Depositor enters into other securitization transactions, each Noteholder, by accepting a Note, acknowledges and agrees that it shall have no right, title or interest in or to Other Assets. To the extent that, notwithstanding the agreements and provisions contained herein, a Noteholder either (i) asserts an interest or claim to, or benefit from, Other Assets, whether asserted against or through the Depositor or any other Person owned by the Depositor, 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 insolvency laws or otherwise (including by virtue of Section 1111(b) of the Federal Bankruptcy Code or any successor provision having similar effect under the Bankruptcy Code), and whether deemed asserted against or through the Depositor or any other Person owned by the Depositor, then each Noteholder, by accepting a Note, further acknowledges and agrees that any such interest, claim or benefit in or from Other Assets is and shall be expressly subordinated to the indefeasible payment in full of all obligations and liabilities of the Depositor 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 priority of distribution or application under applicable law, including insolvency laws, and whether asserted against Depositor or any other Person owned by the Depositor), including the payment of post-petition interest on such other obligations and liabilities. This subordination agreement shall be deemed a subordination agreement within the meaning of Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code. Each Noteholder, by acceptance of a Note, further acknowledges and agrees that no adequate remedy at law exists for a breach of this paragraph and the terms of this paragraph may be enforced by an action for specific performance. The provisions of this paragraph shall be for the third party benefit of those entitled to rely thereon and shall survive the termination of this Indenture.

(2023-A Indenture)

Section 11.16            No Petition. The Indenture Trustee, by entering into this Indenture, and each Noteholder, by accepting a Note or a beneficial interest in a Note, hereby covenant and agree that they will not at any time institute against the Issuer or the Depositor, or join in any institution against the Issuer or the Depositor, of any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, or other proceedings under any United States federal or state bankruptcy or similar law in connection with any obligations relating to the Notes, this Indenture or any of the Basic Documents.

Section 11.17            Inspection. The Issuer agrees that, on reasonable prior notice, it will permit any representative of the Indenture 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; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee may only cause the books of the Issuer to be audited on an annual basis, unless there occurs an Event of Default hereunder. The Indenture Trustee shall, and shall cause its representatives to, hold in confidence all such information except to the extent such information is publicly available or such disclosure may be required by law (and all reasonable applications for confidential treatment are unavailing) and except to the extent that the Indenture Trustee may reasonably determine with the advice of counsel and after consultation with the Issuer that such disclosure is consistent with its obligations hereunder.

Section 11.18            Conflict with Trust Indenture Act. If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with another provision hereof that is required to be included in this Indenture by any of the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act, such required provision shall control.

The provisions of TIA Sections 310 through 317 that impose duties on any person (including the provisions automatically deemed included herein unless expressly excluded by this Indenture) are a part of and govern this Indenture, whether or not physically contained herein.

Section 11.19            Limitation of Liability. It is expressly understood and agreed by the parties hereto that (a) this Indenture is executed and delivered by U.S. Bank Trust National Association, not individually or personally but solely as Owner Trustee of Hyundai Auto Receivables Trust 2023-A, in the exercise of the powers and authority conferred and vested in it, (b) each of the representations, undertakings and agreements herein made on the part of the Issuer is made and intended not as personal representations, undertakings and agreements by U.S. Bank Trust National Association but is made and intended for the purpose for binding only the Issuer, (c) nothing herein contained shall be construed as creating any liability on U.S. Bank Trust National Association individually or personally, to perform any covenant either expressed or implied contained herein, all such liability, if any, being expressly waived by the parties hereto and by any Person claiming by, through or under the parties hereto, (d) U.S. Bank Trust National Association has made no investigation as to the accuracy or completeness of any representations or warranties made by the Issuer in this Indenture and (e) under no circumstances shall U.S. Bank Trust National Association be personally liable for the payment of any indebtedness or expenses of the Issuer or be liable for the breach or failure of any obligation, representation, warranty or covenant made or undertaken by the Issuer under this Indenture or any other related documents.

(d)            The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Indenture and the fulfillment of its terms do not conflict with, result in any breach of any of the terms and provisions of, or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time or both) a default under, the organizational documents of the Issuer, or any indenture, agreement or other instrument to which the Issuer is a party or by which it is bound, or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any of its properties pursuant to the terms of any such indenture, agreement or other instrument (other than this Indenture), or violate any law or, to the best of the Issuer’s knowledge, any order, rule or regulation applicable to the Issuer of any court or of any federal or state regulatory body, administrative agency or other governmental instrumentality having jurisdiction over the Issuer or its properties. There shall be no breach of the representations and warranties in this paragraph resulting from any of the foregoing breaches, violations, Liens or other matters which, individually or in the aggregate, would not materially and adversely affect the Issuer’s ability to perform its obligations under this Indenture.

(e)            There are no proceedings or investigations pending or, to the Issuer’s knowledge, threatened in writing against the Issuer before any court, regulatory body, administrative agency or other governmental instrumentality having jurisdiction over the Issuer or its properties (i) asserting the invalidity of this Indenture, (ii) seeking to prevent the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Indenture or (iii) seeking any determination or ruling that would materially and adversely affect the performance by the Issuer of its obligations under, or the validity or enforceability of, this Indenture.

(2023-A Indenture)

Section 11.21          Perfection Representations and Warranties. If the transfer of the Collateral under this Indenture is determined to be a pledge relating to a financing or is determined not to be an absolute sale and assignment, the Issuer makes the following representations and warranties on which the Indenture Trustee is relying. The representations and warranties are made as of the Closing Date, but shall survive the pledge of the Collateral to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Indenture:

(a)            This Indenture creates a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the applicable UCC) in the Collateral in favor of the Indenture Trustee, which security interest is prior to all other Liens other than permitted liens and any Lien that will be released prior to the pledge hereof, and is enforceable as such against creditors of and purchasers from the Issuer.

(b)            Each Receivable constitutes either “tangible chattel paper” or “electronic chattel paper” within the meaning of the UCC as in effect in the state of origination.

(c)            Immediately upon the transfer thereof from the Depositor to the Issuer pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Issuer shall have good and marketable title to each Receivable, free and clear of any Lien of any Person.

(d)            Each Trust Account constitutes either a “deposit account” or a “securities account” within the meaning of the UCC.

(e)            The Issuer has caused, or will have caused, within ten days of the Closing Date, the filing of all appropriate financing statements in the proper filling office in the appropriate jurisdiction under the applicable UCC in order to perfect the security interest in the Collateral granted to the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture.

(f)            Other than the security interest granted to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Indenture, the Issuer has not pledged, assigned, sold, granted a security interest in, or otherwise conveyed any of the Receivables. The Issuer has not authorized the filing of and is not aware of any financing statements against the Issuer that include a description of collateral describing the Receivables other than any financing statement relating to the security interest granted to the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture. The Issuer is not aware of any judgment or tax lien filings against the Issuer.

(g)            The Contracts that constitute or evidence the Receivables do not have any marks or notations indicating that they have been pledged, assigned or otherwise conveyed to any Person other than the Indenture Trustee, except for such marks or notations indicating that they have been pledged, assigned or otherwise conveyed (i) to the Depositor or the Issuer in accordance with the Basic Documents or (ii) to HCA in accordance with Dealer Agreements. All financing statements filed or to be filed against the Issuer in favor of the Indenture Trustee in connection with this Indenture describing the Receivables contain a statement to the following effect: “A purchase of or security interest in any collateral described in this financing statement, except as provided in the Indenture, will violate the rights of the Indenture Trustee.”

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the representations and warranties set forth in this Section 11.21 shall remain in full force and effect until such time as all Obligations hereunder have been finally paid and performed and this Indenture shall be discharged.

Section 11.22            Communications with Rating Agencies.

The Indenture Trustee agrees to act at the direction of the Administrator with respect to any communication to a Rating Agency and further agrees that in no event shall the Indenture Trustee engage in any oral communication with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby or under the Basic Documents or in any way relating to the Notes with any Rating Agency (or any of their respective officers, directors or employees) without the participation of the Administrator.

Interest on this Note will accrue for each Payment Date on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days from the previous Payment Date (or, in the case of the first Payment Date, from the Closing Date) to but excluding the next Payment Date. Such principal of and interest on this Note shall be paid in the manner specified herein.

The principal of and interest on this Note are payable in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

___________ (the “Transferee”) intends to purchase of such of the Class [__] Notes that were issued pursuant to that certain indenture dated April 12, 2023 (the “Indenture”), between HYUNDAI AUTO RECEIVABLES TRUST 2023-A, a Delaware statutory trust (the “Issuer”), and Citibank, N.A., a national banking association, as trustee and not in its individual capacity, that are Restricted Notes (the “Restricted Notes”) of the Issuer. All capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings set forth in the Indenture. The Transferee represents and warrants to you, as the Indenture Trustee and the Note Registrar, that:

The Transferee will provide notice to each Person to whom it proposes to transfer any interest in the Restricted Notes of the transfer restrictions and representations set forth in Section 2.15(b) of the Indenture. Further, the Transferee will not transfer any Restricted Note (or any interest therein) to a subsequent transferee unless, prior to the transfer, the subsequent transferee shall have provided to the Indenture Trustee, the Note Registrar and the Depositor a written representation letter as set forth previously in Section 2.15(b) of the Indenture (unless the Depositor shall have received an opinion of nationally recognized tax counsel as set forth previously in Section 2.15(b) of the Indenture.

No transfer of Restricted Notes (or any interest therein) will be permitted to the extent that such transfer would cause the number of direct or indirect holders of an interest in the Restricted Notes and the Certificates to exceed a number equal to 95 Persons. Neither the Indenture Trustee nor the Note Registrar shall have any duty or obligation with respect to the foregoing to ascertain the number of direct or indirect holders of an interest in the Restricted Notes and the Certificates.

The Transferee warrants it (a) is not, and will not become, a partnership, a corporation taxed under Subchapter S of the Code or grantor trust for U.S. federal income tax purposes (or a disregarded entity the single owner of which is any of the foregoing) or (b) is such an entity, but (x) no more than 50% of the value of any of the direct or indirect beneficial interests in such Transferee (or in the case of a disregarded entity, the interests of its single owner) is or will be attributable to such Transferee’s (or in the case of a disregarded entity, the single owner’s) interest in Restricted Notes and Certificates and (y) it is not and will not be a principal purpose of the arrangement involving such entity’s beneficial interest in any Restricted Notes or Certificates to permit any partnership to satisfy the 100 partner limitation of Treasury Regulation Section 1.7704-1(h)(1)(ii) necessary for such partnership not to be classified as a publicly traded partnership under the Code.

(2023-A Indenture)

No Noteholder of a Restricted Note shall acquire or transfer any Restricted Note (or any interest therein) or cause any Restricted Notes (or any interest therein) to be marketed on or through an “established securities market” within the meaning of Section 7704(b)(1) of the Code, including, without limitation, an over-the-counter market or an interdealer quotation system that regularly disseminates firm buy or sell quotations.

If any Restricted Note held by the Transferee is required to be treated other than as described under Section 2.13 of the Indenture, then the Transferee, or, if different, the beneficial owner of such Restricted Note, shall agree to the designation made pursuant to the Trust Agreement of the partnership representative (and the tax matters partner for any applicable state or local tax purposes) of any partnership in which such Noteholder or beneficial owner is deemed to be a partner under Section 6223(a) of the Code and any applicable Treasury Regulations thereunder (and any corresponding provision of state law).

(A) Each Noteholder of a Restricted Note shall provide to the Administrator on behalf of the Issuer and the Depositor any further information required by the Issuer to comply with Sections 6221 through 6241 of the Code (and any corresponding provision of state law), including Section 6226(a) of the Code, (B) if such Noteholder is not the beneficial owner of such Restricted Note, the beneficial owner of such Restricted Note shall provide to the Administrator on behalf of the Issuer and the Depositor any further information required by the Issuer to comply with Sections 6221 through 6241 of the Code (and any corresponding provision of state law), including Section 6226(a) of the Code and, to the extent the Issuer determines such appointment necessary for it to make an election under Section 6226(a) of the Code (or any corresponding provision of state law), hereby appoints the Noteholder as its agent for purposes of receiving any notifications or information pursuant to the notice requirements under Section 6226(a)(2) of the Code (and any corresponding provision of state law) and (C) to the extent applicable, each Noteholder of a Restricted Note and, if different, each beneficial owner of a Restricted Note shall hold the Issuer and its affiliates harmless for any expenses or losses (i) resulting from a beneficial owner of a Restricted Note not properly taking into account or paying its allocated adjustment or liability under Section 6226 of the Code (or any corresponding provision of state law) or (ii) attributable to the management or defense of an audit under Sections 6221 through 6241 of the Code (or any corresponding provision of state law) or otherwise suffered due to actions the Issuer and its affiliates take with respect to and to comply with the rules under Sections 6221 through 6241 of the Code (or any corresponding provision of state law).

The Transferee acknowledges that any transfer in violation of the foregoing will be of no force and effect, will be void ab initio, and will not operate to transfer any rights to the Transferee.
