Each of the Grantor Trust Trustee and the Administrator, as applicable, shall have the power and authority to, and each is hereby authorized and empowered in the name and on behalf of the Grantor Trust to engage in the foregoing activities.

SECTION 2.4. Appointment of the Grantor Trust Trustee. The Grantor Trust Seller hereby appoints the Grantor Trust Trustee as trustee of the Grantor Trust effective as of the date hereof, to have all the rights, powers and duties set forth herein. The Grantor Trust Trustee accepts such appointment.

SECTION 2.5. [Reserved].

SECTION 2.6. Declaration of Trust. The Grantor Trust Trustee hereby declares that it will hold the Grantor Trust Estate in trust upon and subject to the conditions set forth herein for the use and benefit of the Grantor Trust Certificateholders, subject to the obligations of the Grantor Trust under the Transaction Documents. It is the intention of the parties hereto that the Grantor Trust constitute a statutory trust under the Statutory Trust Statute and that this Agreement constitute the governing instrument of such statutory trust. It is the intention of the parties hereto that, solely for United States federal income or state and local income, franchise and value added tax purposes, the Grantor Trust will be a grantor trust under subtitle A, chapter 1, subchapter J, part I, subpart E of the Code. The parties agree that, unless otherwise required by appropriate tax authorities, the Grantor Trust will not file or cause to be filed annual or other necessary returns, reports or other forms consistent with the characterization of the Grantor Trust as other than a grantor trust. The parties further agree, unless otherwise required by appropriate taxing authorities or by law, not to take any action or, direct any other party to take any action, inconsistent therewith, including, but not limited to, modifying, or directing any other party to modify, the terms of a Receivable unless the modification is a Permitted Modification. In furtherance of the foregoing, (i) the purpose of the Grantor Trust shall be to protect and conserve the assets of the Grantor Trust, and the Grantor Trust shall not at any time engage in or carry on any kind of business for United States federal income tax purposes or any kind of commercial activity and (ii) the Grantor Trust and Grantor Trust Trustee (upon direction from the Grantor Trust Certificateholders) (and any agent of either person) shall take, or refrain from taking, all such action as is necessary to maintain the status of the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust for United States federal income tax purposes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or otherwise, neither the Grantor Trust nor the Grantor Trust Trustee (nor any agent of either person) shall (1) acquire any assets or dispose of any portion of the Grantor Trust other than pursuant to the specific provisions of this Agreement, (2) vary the investment of the Grantor Trust Certificateholders within the meaning of Treasury Regulation section 301.7701-4(c) or (3) substitute new investments or reinvest so as to enable the Grantor Trust to take advantage of variations in the market to improve the investment of any Grantor Trust Certificateholder. The provisions of this Agreement shall be interpreted consistently

Amended and Restated Grantor Trust Agreement

(BLAST 2024-1)

with and to further this intention of the parties. No election will be made by or on behalf of the Grantor Trust to be classified as an association taxable as a corporation for United States federal income tax purposes. Effective as of the date hereof, the Grantor Trust Trustee shall have all rights, powers and duties set forth herein and, to the extent not inconsistent herewith, in the Statutory Trust Statute with respect to accomplishing the purposes of the Grantor Trust. It is the intention of the parties hereto that except as expressly stated herein, the affairs of the Grantor Trust shall be managed by the Administrator pursuant to the Administration Agreement. The Grantor Trust Trustee has heretofore filed the Grantor Trust Certificate of Trust with the Secretary of State as required by Section 3810(a) of the Statutory Trust Statute, such filing hereby being ratified and approved in all respects and the Owner Trustee shall have power and authority, and is hereby authorized and empowered, to execute, deliver and file any other certificate required under the Statutory Trust Statute to be filed with the Secretary of State. Notwithstanding anything herein or in the Statutory Trust Statute to the contrary, it is the intention of the parties hereto that (i) the Grantor Trust constitute a “business trust” within the meaning of Section 101(9)(A)(v) of the Bankruptcy Code and (ii) the Grantor Trust be and remain a separate legal entity under Delaware law.

SECTION 2.7. Organizational Expenses; Liabilities of the Holders.

(a) The Servicer shall pay organizational expenses of the Grantor Trust as they may arise.

(b) No Grantor Trust Certificateholder (including the Grantor Trust Seller if the Grantor Trust Seller becomes a Grantor Trust Certificateholder) shall have any personal liability for any liability or obligation of the Grantor Trust.

SECTION 2.8. Title to the Grantor Trust Estate. Legal title to all the Grantor Trust Estate shall be vested at all times in the Grantor Trust as a separate legal entity.

SECTION 2.9. Representations and Warranties of the Grantor Trust Seller. The Grantor Trust Seller hereby represents and warrants to the Grantor Trust Trustee that:

(a) Existence and Power. The Grantor Trust Seller is a Delaware statutory trust validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has, in all material respects, full power and authority required to own its assets and operate its business as presently owned or operated, and to execute, to deliver and to perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents to which it is a party. The Grantor Trust Seller has obtained all necessary licenses and approvals in each jurisdiction where it does business and where the failure to do so would materially and adversely affect the ability of the Grantor Trust Seller to perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents to which it is a party.

(b) Authorization and No Contravention. The execution, delivery and performance by the Grantor Trust Seller of each Transaction Document to which it is a party (i) have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Grantor Trust Seller and (ii) to its knowledge, do not violate or constitute a default under (A) any applicable law, rule or regulation, (B) its organizational documents or (C) any material

Amended and Restated Grantor Trust Agreement

(BLAST 2024-1)

agreement to which the Grantor Trust Seller is a party or by which its properties are bound (other than violations of such laws, rules, regulations, organizational instruments, agreements or documents which do not affect the legality, validity or enforceability of any of such agreements and which, individually or in the aggregate, would not materially and adversely affect the transactions contemplated by, or the Grantor Trust Seller’s ability to perform its obligations under, the Transaction Documents to which it is a party).

(c) No Consent Required. No approval, authorization or other action by, or filing with, any Governmental Authority is required in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by the Grantor Trust Seller of any Transaction Document other than UCC filings and other than (i) approvals and authorizations that have previously been obtained and filings which have previously been made and (ii) approvals, authorizations or filings which, if not obtained or made, would not have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Grantor Trust Seller to perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents to which it is a party.

(d) Binding Effect. Each of the Transaction Documents to which the Grantor Trust Seller is a party constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Grantor Trust Seller enforceable against the Grantor Trust Seller in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, receivership, conservatorship or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and, if applicable the rights of creditors of statutory trusts from time to time in effect or by general principles of equity or other similar laws of general application relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity.

(e) No Proceedings. There are no actions, orders, suits or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of the Grantor Trust Seller, threatened against the Grantor Trust Seller before or by any Governmental Authority that (i) assert the invalidity or unenforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, (ii) seek to prevent the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents or (iii) seek any determination or ruling that would materially and adversely affect the performance by the Grantor Trust Seller of its obligations under this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents.

(f) Compliance with Withholding Tax Rules. To the best of the Administrator’s knowledge, as of the date hereof, no amounts are required to be deducted or withheld pursuant to FATCA with respect to payments to be made to the Grantor Trust Certificateholders hereunder or under the Sale and Servicing Agreement. If the Administrator on behalf of the Grantor Trust Seller has actual knowledge that withholding tax under FATCA applies with respect to one or more payments on a Grantor Trust Certificate, the Administrator on behalf of the Grantor Trust Seller will notify the Grantor Trust Trustee of such fact.

SECTION 2.10. Situs of Grantor Trust. The Grantor Trust shall be located in the State of Delaware (it being understood that the Grantor Trust may have bank accounts located and maintained outside of Delaware).

Amended and Restated Grantor Trust Agreement

(BLAST 2024-1)

SECTION 2.11. Covenants of the Grantor Trust Certificateholders. Each Grantor Trust Certificateholder, by becoming an owner of a Grantor Trust Certificate and beneficial owner of the Grantor Trust, hereby acknowledges and agrees (a) that the Grantor Trust Certificateholder is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Grantor Trust Certificate and this Agreement, to which the Grantor Trust Certificateholder agrees to be bound; and (b) that it shall not take any position in such Grantor Trust Certificateholder’s tax returns inconsistent with Section 2.6 herein.

ARTICLE III

CERTIFICATES AND TRANSFER OF CERTIFICATES

SECTION 3.1. Initial Ownership. Upon the formation of the Grantor Trust and until the issuance of the Grantor Trust Certificates, the Grantor Trust Seller shall be the sole beneficiary of the Grantor Trust, and upon the issuance of the Grantor Trust Certificates, the Grantor Trust Seller will no longer be a beneficiary of the Grantor Trust, except to the extent that the Grantor Trust Seller is a Grantor Trust Certificateholder.

SECTION 3.2. Authorization of the Grantor Trust Certificates. On the date hereof, the Grantor Trust Trustee, at the written direction of the Grantor Trust Seller, shall execute, in the name and on behalf of the Grantor Trust, and the Grantor Trust Certificate Registrar shall authenticate and deliver to the Indenture Trustee, in definitive form, a single Grantor Trust Certificate, to be held by the Indenture Trustee (who shall be entitled to the same rights, benefits and protections of the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture mutatis mutandis). The Certificates shall in the aggregate represent 100% of the Grantor Trust Percentage Interest in the Grantor Trust and shall be fully paid and nonassessable.

SECTION 3.3. Registration of the Grantor Trust Certificates. The Grantor Trust Trustee, in its capacity as “Grantor Trust Certificate Registrar” (the “Grantor Trust Certificate Registrar”) shall maintain at its Corporate Trust Office, or at the office of any agent appointed by it and approved in writing by the Grantor Trust Certificateholders at the time of such appointment, a register (the “Grantor Trust Certificate Register”) for the registration and transfer of any Grantor Trust Certificate. Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of any Grantor Trust Certificate, the Grantor Trust Trustee and the Grantor Trust Certificate Registrar or any agent of the Grantor Trust Trustee or the Grantor Trust Certificate Registrar shall treat the Person in whose name any Grantor Trust Certificate is registered (as of the applicable Record Date) as the owner of such Grantor Trust Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions on such Grantor Trust Certificate and for all other purposes whatsoever. For the avoidance of doubt, a Grantor Trust Certificate is not negotiable, and the records maintained by the Grantor Trust Certificate Registrar in the Grantor Trust Certificate Register with respect to each Grantor Trust Certificate and its related registered owner are intended to cause the Grantor Trust Certificates to be issued in registered form, within the meaning of Treasury Regulation section 5f.103-1(c), and shall record the Grantor Trust Percentage Interest evidenced by each Grantor Trust Certificate. The entries in the Grantor Trust Certificate Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(BLAST 2024-1)

SECTION 3.4. Transfer of the Grantor Trust Certificates.

(a) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the sole Grantor Trust Certificateholder shall be the Grantor Trust Seller. Subject to the foregoing, a Grantor Trust Certificateholder may assign, convey or otherwise transfer all or any of its right, title and interest in the related Grantor Trust Certificate, subject to the restrictions set forth herein.

By accepting and holding a Grantor Trust Certificate, the holder thereof (and, if the holder is a Plan, its fiduciary) shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that it is not, and is not acquiring and will not hold the Grantor Trust Certificate on behalf of or with any assets of, a Benefit Plan or Plan that is subject to Similar Law. Subject to the transfer restrictions contained herein and in the Grantor Trust Certificate, each Grantor Trust Certificateholder may transfer all or any portion of the Grantor Trust Percentage Interest evidenced by such Grantor Trust Certificate upon delivery to the Grantor Trust Certificate Registrar of the documents required by this Section 3.4. Such transfer may be made by a registered Grantor Trust Certificateholder in person or by his attorney duly authorized in writing upon surrender of such Grantor Trust Certificate to the Grantor Trust Certificate Registrar accompanied by any documentation as may be required by the Grantor Trust Certificate Registrar or the Grantor Trust Trustee, including without limitation to comply with Applicable Law (as defined in Section 7.7). Promptly upon the receipt of such documents and receipt by the Grantor Trust Certificate Registrar of the transferor’s Grantor Trust Certificate, the Grantor Trust Certificate Registrar shall record the name of such transferee as a Grantor Trust Certificateholder and its Grantor Trust Percentage Interest in the Grantor Trust Certificate Register, and shall so notify the Grantor Trust Trustee, whereupon the Grantor Trust Trustee shall execute, in the name of and on behalf of the Grantor Trust, and the Grantor Trust Certificate Registrar shall authenticate and deliver to such Grantor Trust Certificateholder a Grantor Trust Certificate evidencing such Grantor Trust Percentage Interest. As a condition precedent to any registration of transfer under this Section 3.4, the Grantor Trust Certificate Registrar may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover the payment of any expense, tax or other governmental charges required to be paid in connection with such transfer. In the event a transferor transfers only a portion of its Grantor Trust Percentage Interest, the Grantor Trust Trustee shall execute, in the name of and on behalf of the Grantor Trust, and the Grantor Trust Certificate Registrar shall register, authenticate and deliver to such transferor, a new Grantor Trust Certificate evidencing such transferor’s new Grantor Trust Percentage Interest. Subsequent to a transfer and upon the issuance of a new Grantor Trust Certificate or Grantor Trust Certificates, the Grantor Trust Certificate Registrar shall cancel and destroy the Grantor Trust Certificate surrendered to it in connection with such transfer. Unless otherwise provided under applicable law, the Grantor Trust Trustee, the Grantor Trust Certificate Registrar and the Indenture Trustee shall treat the Person in whose name any Grantor Trust Certificate is registered as the sole owner of the beneficial interest in the Grantor Trust evidenced by such Grantor Trust Certificate, without regard to any notice to the contrary.

The Grantor Trust Certificateholder represents and warrants that it is a “United States person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code and the Administrator agrees to provide the Grantor Trust Trustee and any relevant intermediary with a correct, complete and properly executed Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or applicable successor form) for the Grantor Trust Certificateholder.

Amended and Restated Grantor Trust Agreement

(BLAST 2024-1)

(b) Each Grantor Trust Certificateholder shall deliver Tax Information to the Grantor Trust Trustee and the Administrator on or prior to the date on which such Grantor Trust Certificateholder becomes a Grantor Trust Certificateholder under this Agreement and from time to time thereafter if such Tax Information becomes incorrect or obsolete, as otherwise prescribed by applicable law or upon the request of the Grantor Trust Trustee or the Administrator.

(c) If (1) a transfer or attempted or purported transfer of any Grantor Trust Certificate or interest therein was consummated in compliance with the provisions of this Agreement on the basis of a materially incorrect certification from the transferor or purported transferee, or (2) the Grantor Trust Certificateholder of any Grantor Trust Certificate or interest therein is in material breach of any representation or agreement set forth in any Grantor Trust Certificate or any deemed representation or agreement of such Grantor Trust Certificateholder, the Grantor Trust Certificate Registrar, upon actual knowledge of such circumstances, will not register such attempted or purported transfer and, if a transfer has been registered, such transfer shall be absolutely null and void ab initio and shall not operate to transfer any rights to the purported transferee (such purported transferee, a “Disqualified Transferee”) and the last preceding Grantor Trust Certificateholder of such Grantor Trust Certificateholder that was not a Disqualified Transferee shall be restored to all rights as a Grantor Trust Certificateholder thereof retroactively to the date of the purported transfer of such Grantor Trust Certificate by such Grantor Trust Certificateholder.

(d) If (i) any mutilated Grantor Trust Certificate is surrendered to the Grantor Trust Certificate Registrar, or (ii) the Grantor Trust Certificate Registrar receives evidence to its satisfaction that any Grantor Trust Certificate has been destroyed, lost or stolen, and upon proof of ownership satisfactory to the Grantor Trust Certificate Registrar together with such security or indemnity as may be requested by the Grantor Trust Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and the Grantor Trust Certificate Registrar to save them harmless, the Grantor Trust Trustee shall execute, in the name of and on behalf of the Grantor Trust, and the Grantor Trust Certificate Registrar shall authenticate and deliver, a new Grantor Trust Certificate for the same Grantor Trust Percentage Interest as the Grantor Trust Certificate so mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen, of like tenor and bearing a different issue number, with such notations, if any, as the Grantor Trust Certificate Registrar shall determine. Upon the issuance of any new Grantor Trust Certificate under this Section 3.4, the Grantor Trust, the Indenture Trustee, the Grantor Trust Certificate Registrar or the Grantor Trust Trustee may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any expense, tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of the Grantor Trust Certificate and any other reasonable expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of the Grantor Trust, the Indenture Trustee, the Grantor Trust Certificate Registrar and the Grantor Trust Trustee) connected therewith. Any duplicate Grantor Trust Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 3.4 shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in the Grantor Trust, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Grantor Trust Certificate shall be found at any time.

Amended and Restated Grantor Trust Agreement

(BLAST 2024-1)

(e) The Grantor Trust Certificate Registrar and the Grantor Trust Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Grantor Trust Agreement or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Grantor Trust Certificate (or interest therein) other than to require delivery of the certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by the terms of, this Grantor Trust Agreement.

SECTION 3.5. Maintenance of Office or Agency. As long as any of the Grantor Trust Certificates remain outstanding, the Grantor Trust shall maintain an office or agency where Grantor Trust Certificates may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange, and where notices and demands to or upon the Grantor Trust in respect of the Grantor Trust Certificates and this Agreement may be served. The Grantor Trust hereby initially designates the Corporate Trust Office of the Grantor Trust Certificate Registrar for the purposes of surrendering Grantor Trust Certificates for registration or exchange of Grantor Trust Certificates, and the Corporate Trust Office of the Grantor Trust Trustee for all other purposes. The Grantor Trust shall give prompt written notice to the Grantor Trust Certificateholders, the Indenture Trustee, the Administrator and the Grantor Trust Trustee of the location, and of any change in the location, of any such office or agency. If at any time the Grantor Trust shall fail to maintain any such office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Indenture Trustee and the Grantor Trust Trustee with the address thereof, such surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the applicable Corporate Trust Office, and the Grantor Trust hereby appoints the Grantor Trust Trustee and the Administrator as its agents to receive all such surrenders, notices and demands.

SECTION 3.6. Furnishing of Documents. The Grantor Trust Trustee shall furnish to any Grantor Trust Certificateholder promptly upon receipt of a written request therefor, duplicates or copies of all reports, notices, requests, demands, certificates and any other instruments furnished to the Grantor Trust Trustee under the Transaction Documents. The Grantor Trust Trustee shall have no duty or obligations to review, verify or confirm the reports or any information contained therein, and shall have no liability in connection therewith.

ARTICLE IV

ACTIONS BY GRANTOR TRUST TRUSTEE

SECTION 4.1. Action by Administrator with Respect to Certain Matters. The Grantor Trust Trustee shall not have the power, except upon written instructions signed by the Administrator and except as expressly provided in the Transaction Documents, to sell the Grantor Trust Estate after the termination of the Indenture in accordance with its terms.

SECTION 4.2. Action by Grantor Trust Certificateholders with Respect to Bankruptcy.

(a) The Grantor Trust shall not, without the prior written consent of the Grantor Trust Trustee and 100% of the Grantor Trust Certificateholders, commence a Bankruptcy Event with respect to the Grantor Trust. In considering whether to give or withhold written consent to the Bankruptcy Event by the Grantor Trust, the Grantor Trust Trustee, with the consent of the Grantor Trust Certificateholders, shall consider the interests of the

Amended and Restated Grantor Trust Agreement

(BLAST 2024-1)

Noteholders in addition to the interests of the Grantor Trust and whether the Grantor Trust is insolvent. The Grantor Trust Trustee shall have no duty to give such written consent to a Bankruptcy Event by the Grantor Trust if the Grantor Trust Trustee shall not have been furnished (at the expense of the Person that requested such letter be furnished to the Grantor Trust Trustee) a letter from an independent accounting firm of national reputation stating that in the opinion of such firm the Grantor Trust is then insolvent. The Grantor Trust Trustee (including in its individual capacity) shall not be personally liable to any Noteholder or Grantor Trust Certificateholder on account of the Grantor Trust Trustee’s good faith reliance on the provisions of this Section 4.2 and no Noteholder or Grantor Trust Certificateholder shall have any claim for breach of fiduciary duty or otherwise against the Grantor Trust Trustee (as such or in its individual capacity) for giving or withholding its consent to any such Bankruptcy Event.

(b) The parties hereto stipulate and agree that no Grantor Trust Certificateholder has the power to commence any Bankruptcy Event on the part of the Grantor Trust or to direct the Grantor Trust Trustee to commence any Bankruptcy Event on the part of the Grantor Trust except as provided in Section 4.2(a).

(c) The provisions of this Section 4.2 do not constitute an acknowledgement or admission by the Grantor Trust, the Grantor Trust Trustee, the Grantor Trust Certificateholders or any creditor of the Grantor Trust that the Grantor Trust is eligible to be a debtor under the Bankruptcy Code.

SECTION 4.3. Restrictions on Grantor Trust Certificateholders’ Power. The Grantor Trust Certificateholders shall not direct the Grantor Trust Trustee to take or refrain from taking any action if such action or inaction would be contrary to any obligation of the Grantor Trust or the Grantor Trust Trustee under this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents or would be contrary to Section 2.3, nor shall the Grantor Trust Trustee be obligated to follow any such direction, if given.

SECTION 4.4. Acts of Grantor Trust Certificateholders; Majority Control.

(a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Agreement to be given or taken by Grantor Trust Certificateholders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Grantor Trust Certificateholders 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 Grantor Trust Trustee, and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Grantor Trust. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Grantor Trust Certificateholders 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 Agreement and (subject to Article VI) conclusive in favor of the Grantor Trust Trustee and the Grantor Trust, if made in the manner provided in this Section 4.4.

(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 Grantor Trust Trustee deems sufficient.

(d) Any request, demand, authorization, instruction, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action by any Grantor Trust Certificateholder shall bind the Holder of every Grantor Trust Certificate 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 Grantor Trust Trustee or the Grantor Trust in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Grantor Trust Certificate.

(e) Except as otherwise provided herein, to the extent that there is more than one Grantor Trust Certificateholder, any action which may be taken or consent, direction or instructions which may be given by the Grantor Trust Certificateholders under this Agreement may be taken by the Majority Grantor Trust Certificateholders at the time of such action. Subject to Sections 6.3(a) and 7.1 hereof, the Grantor Trust Trustee may act at the written direction of one or more Grantor Trust Certificateholders holding in the aggregate less than 50% of the Grantor Trust Percentage Interests. To the extent the Grantor Trust Trustee is required to act at the direction of Grantor Trust Certificateholders other than the Majority Grantor Trust Certificateholders, and receives conflicting directions from Grantor Trust Certificateholders holding equal Grantor Trust Percentage Interests, it shall act in accordance with the earliest-received such direction.

APPLICATION OF TRUST FUNDS; CERTAIN DUTIES

SECTION 5.1. Application of Trust Funds. All proceeds of the Grantor Trust Estate shall be applied in accordance with the Sale and Servicing Agreement and the Indenture by the parties identified therein as having responsibility therefor. Any bank account of the Grantor Trust shall constitute part of the Grantor Trust Estate. Funds on deposit, if any, in such account, if not otherwise held uninvested, may only be invested in accordance with the Sale and Servicing Agreement and the Indenture.

SECTION 5.2. Tax Matters.

(a) The Administrator shall prepare and deliver, or, at the request and expense of the Administrator, the Grantor Trust Trustee shall prepare (or cause to be prepared) and the Administrator shall sign on behalf of the Grantor Trust, the Grantor Trust’s tax returns, if any, unless applicable law requires a Grantor Trust Certificateholder or the Grantor Trust Trustee to sign such documents.

SECTION 5.3. Withholding. If any withholding tax is imposed on the Grantor Trust’s payment, distribution or allocation of income to a Grantor Trust Certificateholder, such tax shall reduce the amount otherwise distributable to the Grantor Trust Certificateholder in accordance with this Section 5.3; provided that any Person with responsibility for distributing proceeds of the Grantor Trust Estate in accordance with the Sale and Servicing Agreement and the Indenture (the “Grantor Trust Paying Agent”) shall not have an obligation to withhold any such amount if and for so long as the Grantor Trust Seller or a U.S. Affiliate of the Grantor Trust Seller is the sole Grantor Trust Certificateholder. Any Grantor Trust Paying Agent is hereby authorized and directed to retain from amounts otherwise distributable to the Grantor Trust Certificateholders sufficient funds for the payment of any tax that is legally owed by the Grantor Trust (but such authorization shall not prevent the Grantor Trust Paying Agent from contesting any such tax in appropriate proceedings and withholding payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings). The amount of any withholding tax imposed with respect to a Grantor Trust Certificateholder shall be treated as cash distributed to such Grantor Trust Certificateholder at the time it is withheld by the Grantor Trust and remitted to the appropriate taxing authority. If there is a possibility that withholding tax is payable with respect to a payment, distribution or allocation of income, the Grantor Trust Paying Agent may in its sole discretion withhold such amounts in accordance with this Section 5.3.

ARTICLE VI

AUTHORITY AND DUTIES OF GRANTOR TRUST TRUSTEE

SECTION 6.1. General Authority• . The Grantor Trust Trustee is authorized, empowered and directed to execute and deliver (i) the Transaction Documents to which the Grantor Trust is named as a party and (ii) each certificate or other document attached as an exhibit to or contemplated by the Transaction Documents to which the Grantor Trust or the Grantor Trust Trustee is named as a party and any amendment thereto, in each case, in such form as the Administrator or the Grantor Trust Seller shall approve, as evidenced conclusively by the Grantor Trust Trustee’s execution thereof. In addition to the foregoing, the Grantor Trust Trustee is authorized and empowered, but shall not be obligated, to take all actions required of the Grantor Trust pursuant to the Transaction Documents. The Grantor Trust Trustee is further authorized and empowered from time to time to take such action as the Grantor Trust Seller, the Administrator or the Majority Grantor Trust Certificateholders direct in writing with respect to the Transaction Documents, except to the extent that this Agreement expressly requires the consent of each Grantor Trust Certificateholder for such action.

SECTION 6.2. General Duties. It shall be the duty of the Grantor Trust Trustee to discharge (or cause to be discharged) all of its express responsibilities under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Grantor Trust Trustee shall be deemed to have discharged its duties and responsibilities hereunder and under the Transaction Documents to the extent the Administrator has agreed in the Administration Agreement to perform any act or to discharge any duty of the Grantor Trust or the Grantor Trust

Amended and Restated Grantor Trust Agreement

(BLAST 2024-1)

Trustee hereunder or under any Transaction Document, and the Grantor Trust Trustee shall not be liable for the default or failure of the Administrator to carry out its obligations under the Administration Agreement and shall have no duty to monitor the performance of the Administrator or any other Person under the Administration Agreement or any other document. The Grantor Trust Trustee shall have no obligation to administer, service or collect the Receivables or to maintain, monitor or otherwise supervise the administration, servicing or collection of the Receivables. No implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement or any other Transaction Document against the Grantor Trust Trustee and no right, power, authority, authorization, or discretion of the Grantor Trust Trustee shall be construed as a duty.

SECTION 6.3. Action upon Instruction.

(a) Subject to Article IV, and in accordance with the Transaction Documents, the Grantor Trust Certificateholders may, by written instruction, direct the Grantor Trust Trustee or the Administrator in the management of the Grantor Trust. Such direction may be exercised at any time by written instruction of the Grantor Trust Certificateholders pursuant to Article IV. The Grantor Trust Trustee shall not be required to take any discretionary action to investigate or review any matter without written direction from the Majority Grantor Trust Certificateholders. Further, with respect to provisions hereunder that provide for instruction by the Grantor Trust Certificateholders, if the Grantor Trust Trustee shall have notified the Grantor Trust Certificateholders in writing of a proposed action and within fifteen (15) Business Days of such notice none of the Grantor Trust Certificateholders shall have notified the Grantor Trust Trustee in writing that such Grantor Trust Certificateholder has withheld consent or provided alternative instruction, the Grantor Trust Trustee, in the place of Grantor Trust Certificateholder instruction hereunder, may accept and rely on written instruction of the Administrator. If subsequently the Grantor Trust Trustee receives alternative written instruction from the Grantor Trust Certificateholders, such subsequent instruction shall control, unless the Grantor Trust Trustee has already acted at the instruction of the Administrator with respect to such matter.

(b) The Grantor Trust Trustee shall not be required to take any action hereunder or under any Transaction Document if the Grantor Trust Trustee shall have reasonably determined or been advised by counsel that such action is likely to result in liability on the part of the Grantor Trust Trustee or is contrary to the terms hereof or of any Transaction Document or is otherwise contrary to law.

(c) Whenever the Grantor Trust Trustee is unable to decide between alternative courses of action permitted or required by the terms of this Agreement or any Transaction Document or is unsure as to the application of any provision of this Agreement or any Transaction Document or any such provision is ambiguous as to its application, or is, or appears to be, in conflict with any other applicable provision, or in the event that this Agreement permits any determination by the Grantor Trust Trustee or is silent or is incomplete as to the course of action that the Grantor Trust Trustee is required to take with respect to a particular set of facts, or more than one methodology can be used to make any determination or calculation to be performed by the Grantor Trust Trustee hereunder, the Grantor Trust Trustee shall promptly give notice (in such form as shall be appropriate under the circumstances) to the Grantor Trust Certificateholders requesting instruction as to the

course of action to be adopted or application of such provision, and to the extent the Grantor Trust Trustee acts or refrains from acting in good faith in accordance with any written instruction of the Majority Grantor Trust Certificateholders (or, if specifically required hereunder, all Grantor Trust Certificateholders) received, the Grantor Trust Trustee shall not be liable on account of such action or inaction to any Person. If the Grantor Trust Trustee shall not have received appropriate instruction within ten (10) days of such notice (or within such shorter period of time as reasonably may be specified in such notice or may be necessary under the circumstances) it may, but shall be under no duty to, take or refrain from taking any action and shall have no liability to any Person for such action or inaction. For the avoidance of doubt, the Grantor Trust Trustee shall be fully protected by the indemnification provisions applicable to it under this Agreement in connection with any action the Grantor Trust Trustee takes or refrains from taking in accordance with this Section 6.3.

SECTION 6.4. No Duties Except as Specified in this Agreement or in Instructions. The Grantor Trust Trustee shall not have any right, power, duty or obligation to manage, make any payment with respect to, register, record, sell, dispose of, or otherwise deal with the Grantor Trust Estate, or to otherwise take or refrain from taking any action under, or in connection with, any document contemplated hereby to which the Grantor Trust or the Grantor Trust Trustee is a party, except as expressly provided by the terms of this Agreement or in any document or written instruction received by the Grantor Trust Trustee pursuant to Section 6.3; and no implied duties (including fiduciary duties existing at law or in equity) or obligations shall be read into this Agreement or any Transaction Document against the Grantor Trust Trustee. The Grantor Trust Trustee shall have no responsibility for the preparation, correctness, accuracy, existence, or filing of any financing or continuation statement in any public office at any time or the validity, existence, perfection or maintenance of the perfection of any security interest or lien granted to it or to the Grantor Trust hereunder or under any Transaction Document, nor shall the Grantor Trust Trustee have any responsibility to monitor the performance of any collateral, or to prepare or file any tax (subject to Section 5.2(a)), qualification to do business, license, Commission or other securities law filing, or other regulatory filing or report for the Grantor Trust, or to record this Agreement or any Transaction Document. Wilmington Trust nevertheless agrees that it will, at its own cost and expense, promptly take all action as may be necessary to discharge any Liens on any part of the Grantor Trust Estate that result from actions by, or claims against, Wilmington Trust that are not related to the ownership or the administration of the Grantor Trust Estate or the Grantor Trust.

SECTION 6.5. No Action Except under Specified Documents or Instructions. The Grantor Trust Trustee shall not manage, control, use, sell, dispose of or otherwise deal with any part of the Grantor Trust Estate except (i) in accordance with the powers granted to and the authority conferred upon the Grantor Trust Trustee pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) in accordance with the Transaction Documents and (iii) in accordance with any document or instruction delivered to the Grantor Trust Trustee pursuant to Section 6.3.

Amended and Restated Grantor Trust Agreement

(BLAST 2024-1)

SECTION 6.6. Restrictions. The Grantor Trust Trustee shall not take any action that, to the actual knowledge of a Responsible Officer of the Grantor Trust Trustee, (a) is inconsistent with the purposes of the Grantor Trust set forth in Section 2.3 or (b) would (i) affect the treatment of the Notes as indebtedness for United States federal income, state and local income, franchise and value added tax purposes, (ii) be deemed to cause a taxable exchange of the Notes for United States federal income or state income or franchise tax purposes or (iii) cause the Grantor Trust or any portion thereof to fail to be treated as a grantor trust or to be treated as an association or publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for United States federal income, state and local income or franchise and value added tax purposes or (c) be contrary to applicable law. None of the Grantor Trust Certificateholders, the Administrator, the Servicer nor the Grantor Trust Seller shall direct the Grantor Trust Trustee to take action that would violate the provisions of this Section 6.6. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Grantor Trust Trustee shall not have the power to acquire, purchase or invest any property or other assets of the Grantor Trust or take any other action to the extent such action would constitute a power under this Agreement to vary the investment of the Grantor Trust within the meaning of Section 301.7701-4(c) of the Treasury Regulations. The Grantor Trust Trustee shall be permitted to take such actions with, and only with, the prior written direction of the Administrator.
