(e) Section 3.1 of the Amended and Restated Trust Agreement is hereby amended by inserting the phrase “or Certificate Owner” immediately prior to the period (“.”) at the end of the sole sentence in such Section.
(f) The first four sentences in the first paragraph of Section 3.4(a) of the Amended and Restated Trust Agreement are hereby amended and restated in their entirety as follows:
“(a) The Certificates, upon original issuance, shall be issued in the form of one or more typewritten Certificates representing Book-Entry Certificates, substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto, to be
delivered to the Certificate Registrar, as agent for the Clearing Agency, by, or on behalf of, the Trust. The Book-Entry Certificates shall be issued in an aggregate nominal principal amount of $100,000 (which shall be deemed to be the equivalent of
100,000 units, with $1 of principal amount being the equivalent of 1 unit). The Trust shall not issue any Certificate that would cause the aggregate nominal principal amount of all Certificates (including any Certificates that are issued on or after
the Closing Date as Definitive Certificates) to exceed $100,000, or 100,000 units. All beneficial interests in the Certificates shall be owned in the minimum nominal principal amount of $4,167 and integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof.”
(g) Section 3.6 of the Amended and Restated Trust Agreement is hereby amended by adding new Section 3.6(c) thereto, as follows:
“(c) If Exeter provides notice to the Owner Trustee and the Certificate Registrar in writing that the Seller or an Affiliate of the Seller is acquiring any Book-Entry Certificates on or after the Closing Date and that such Person has
elected to exchange, at the time of such acquisition, Book-Entry Certificates for Definitive Certificates, such notice shall be provided no later than two (2) Business Days prior to such Person’s acquisition of such Certificates and shall specify (i)
the date of such acquisition and exchange (the “DWAC Decrease

Book-Entry Certificates, as decreased by the DWAC Decrease Amount (the “Post-DWAC Nominal Principal Amount”), and (v) the DTC participant number of the transferor. On the DWAC Decrease Date, the transferor of the Certificates that are the subject of
such exchange will initiate, or cause to be initiated, a DWAC with the Clearing Agency in order to decrease the Pre-DWAC Nominal Principal Amount of the Book-Entry Certificates by the DWAC Decrease Amount. In connection with such DWAC Decrease Amount,
upon confirmation by the Seller that such DWAC has occurred and on the DWAC Decrease Date, the Owner Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, shall execute and the Certificate Registrar shall authenticate and deliver one or more Definitive Certificates
representing the applicable Certificates corresponding with such DWAC Decrease Amount to the Seller or such Affiliate, as applicable, in accordance with the re-registration instructions of the Seller and in accordance with Section 3.7 hereof. None of
the Trust, the Certificate Registrar, the Indenture Trustee or the Owner 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

applicable Certificateholders.”
