SECTION 2.01. Form. The Class A-1 Notes, the Class A-2 Notes, the Class A-3 Notes and the Class A-4 Notes, in each case together with the Indenture Trustee’s certificate of authentication, shall be in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit X-0, Xxxxxxx X-0, Exhibit A-3 and Exhibit A-4, respectively, with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as are required or permitted by this Indenture, and may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such legends or endorsements placed thereon as may, consistent herewith, be determined by the officers executing the Notes, as evidenced by their execution of the Notes. 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 Authorized Officer executing such Notes, as evidenced by their execution of such Notes.

Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication. The terms of the Notes set forth in Exhibit X-0, Xxxxxxx X-0, Exhibit A-3 and Exhibit A-4 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 $265,000,000, Class A-2 Notes for original issue in an aggregate principal amount of $443,000,000, Class A-3 Notes for original issue in an aggregate principal amount of $442,000,000 and Class A-4 Notes for original issue in an aggregate principal amount of $100,000,000. The aggregate principal amount of Class A-1

Notes, Class A-2 Notes, Class A-3 Notes and Class A-4 Notes outstanding at any time may not exceed such respective amounts except as provided in Section 2.06.

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 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.

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 the office or agency of the Issuer maintained as provided in Section 3.02. 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 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.

No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, but the Issuer 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.

Each Noteholder or holder of an interest in a Note, by acceptance of such Note or such interest therein, agrees to provide to the Indenture Trustee, any Note Paying Agent or the Issuer, upon its request, the Noteholder Tax Identification Information and, to the extent FATCA Withholding Tax is applicable, the FATCA Information. In addition, each Noteholder or holder of an interest in a Note, by acceptance of such Note or such interest therein, agrees that the Indenture Trustee has the right to withhold any amounts of interest (properly withholdable under law and without any corresponding gross-up) payable to a Noteholder or holder of an interest in a Note that fails to comply with the requirements of the preceding sentence.

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 fifteen (15) days preceding the due date for any payment with respect to the Note.

No Note, or any interest therein, may be transferred to an “employee benefit plan” within the meaning of Section 3(3) of ERISA, a “plan” described in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code, any entity that is deemed to hold “plan assets” of any of the foregoing by reason of an employee benefit plan’s or other plan’s investment in such entity, unless such transferee represents, warrants and covenants that its purchase and holding of such note will not result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code because it will satisfy the requirements of an applicable prohibited transaction exemption and will not cause a non-exempt violation of any applicable law that is substantially similar to ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code. By its acquisition of a Note in book-entry form or any interest therein, each transferee will be deemed to have represented, warranted and covenanted that it satisfies the foregoing requirements and the Indenture Trustee may rely conclusively on the same for purposes hereof.

With respect to any Retained Notes that are sold or otherwise transferred after the Closing Date (a “Later-Sold Note”), such sale or transfer shall not be effective unless (A) the Issuer, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee receive a Debt Opinion with respect to such sale or transfer of such Later-Sold Note (which such opinion shall include the Class, principal amount and CUSIP number of such Later-Sold Note) and (B) either (i) such Later-Sold Note has a CUSIP number that is different than that of any other outstanding Note immediately prior to such sale or can otherwise be separately tracked for reporting of original issue discount or (ii) for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such Later-Sold Note has the same issue price and issue date as any outstanding Notes that have the same CUSIP number as such Later-Sold Note.

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].

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 a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee that such Note has been acquired by a bona fide 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 fifteen (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 bona fide 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 or the Indenture Trustee 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 and expenses of the Indenture Trustee or the Note Registrar) 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 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.

the final installment of principal payable with respect to such Note on a Payment Date or on the related Final Scheduled Payment 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 checks returned undelivered shall be held in accordance with Section 3.03.

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, upon original issuance, will be issued in the form of typewritten Notes representing the Book-Entry Notes, to be delivered to the Indenture Trustee, as custodian for The Depository Trust Company, the initial Clearing Agency, by, or on behalf of, the Issuer.

(ii) 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;

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

(iv) 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

(v) 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, 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. If (i) 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, (ii) the Depositor or the Administrator, at its option, with the consent of the Clearing Agency participants, advises the Indenture Trustee in writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry system, or (iii) after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Note Owners of the Book-Entry Notes representing beneficial interests aggregating at least a majority of the Outstanding Amount of such Notes, acting together as a single class, advise the Indenture Trustee through 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.

The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable if a qualified successor Clearing Agency cannot be located. The Definitive Notes shall be typewritten, printed, lithographed or engraved or produced by any combination of such methods (with or without steel engraved borders), all as determined by the officers executing the Notes, as evidenced by their execution of the Notes.

SECTION 2.13. Authenticating Agents. Upon the request of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee shall, and if the Indenture Trustee so chooses the Indenture Trustee may, appoint one or more authenticating agents (“Authenticating Agents”) with power to act on its behalf and subject to its direction in the authentication of Notes in connection with issuance, transfers and exchanges under Sections 2.02, 2.04, 2.06 and 9.05, as fully to all intents and purposes as though each such Authenticating Agent had been expressly authorized by such Sections to authenticate such Notes. For all purposes of this Indenture, the authentication of Notes by an Authenticating Agent pursuant to this Section shall be deemed to be the authentication of Notes by the Indenture Trustee.

Any corporation into which any Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, consolidation or conversion to which any Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate trust business of any Authenticating Agent, shall be the successor of such Authenticating Agent hereunder, without the execution or filing of any further act on the part of the parties hereto or such Authenticating Agent or such successor corporation.

Any Authenticating Agent may at any time resign by giving written notice of resignation to the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer. The Indenture Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of any Authenticating Agent by giving written notice of termination to such Authenticating Agent and the Issuer. Upon receiving such notice of resignation or upon such termination, the Indenture Trustee shall promptly appoint a successor Authenticating Agent and shall give written notice of such appointment to the Issuer.

The Issuer agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its services and reimbursement for its reasonable expenses relating thereto. The provisions of Sections 2.09 and 6.04 shall be applicable to any Authenticating Agent.

SECTION 2.14. 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 held by parties unrelated to the holders of the Certificates will qualify 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 a beneficial interest in the applicable Book-Entry Note), agree to treat the Notes for such purposes as indebtedness.

On or before each Payment Date and Redemption Date, the Issuer shall deposit or cause to be deposited in the Note Distribution Account an aggregate sum sufficient to pay the amounts then becoming due under the Notes, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the

Persons entitled thereto, and (unless the Paying Agent is the Indenture Trustee) shall promptly notify the Indenture Trustee of its action or failure so to act.

The Issuer will cause each Paying Agent other than the Indenture Trustee to execute and deliver to the Indenture Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Indenture Trustee (and if the Indenture Trustee acts as Paying Agent, it hereby so agrees), subject to the provisions of this Section, that such Paying Agent will:

(i) hold all sums held by it for the payment of amounts due with respect to the Notes in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and pay such sums to such Persons as herein provided;

(ii) give the Indenture Trustee notice of any default by the Issuer (or any other obligor on the Notes) of which it has actual knowledge in the making of any payment required to be made with respect to the Notes;

(iii) at any time during the continuance of any such default, upon the written request of the Indenture Trustee, forthwith pay to the Indenture Trustee all sums so held in trust by such Paying Agent;

(iv) immediately resign as a Paying Agent and forthwith pay to the Indenture Trustee all sums held by it in trust for the payment of Notes if at any time it ceases to meet the standards required to be met by a Paying Agent at the time of its appointment; and

(v) comply with all requirements of the Code with respect to the withholding from any payments made by it on any Notes of any applicable withholding taxes imposed thereon and with respect to any applicable reporting requirements in connection therewith.

The Issuer may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, by Issuer Order direct any Paying Agent to pay to the Indenture Trustee all sums held in trust by such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Indenture Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which the sums were held by such Paying Agent; and upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Indenture Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money.

Subject to applicable laws with respect to escheat of funds, any money held by the Indenture Trustee or any Paying Agent in trust for the payment of any amount due with respect to any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such amount has become due and payable shall be discharged from such trust and be paid upon Issuer Request to the Issuer; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Issuer for payment thereof (but only to the extent of the amounts so paid to the Issuer), and all liability of the Indenture Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, shall at the expense and direction of the Issuer cause to be published once, in an Authorized Newspaper, notice that such money remains unclaimed and

that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than thirty (30) days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Issuer. The Indenture Trustee shall also adopt and employ, at the expense and direction of the Issuer, any other reasonable means of notification of such repayment (including, but not limited to, mailing notice of such repayment to Holders whose Notes have been called but have not been surrendered for redemption or whose right to or interest in moneys due and payable but not claimed is determinable from the records of the Indenture Trustee or of any Paying Agent, at the last address of record for each such Holder).

SECTION 3.04. Existence. Except as otherwise permitted by the provisions of Section 3.10, the Issuer will keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a statutory trust under the laws of the State of Delaware (unless it becomes, or any successor Issuer hereunder is or becomes, organized under the laws of any other State or of the United States of America, in which case the Issuer will keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises under the laws of such other jurisdiction) and will obtain and preserve its qualification to do business in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes, the Collateral and each other instrument or agreement included in the Trust Estate.

SECTION 3.05. Protection of Trust Estate. The Issuer will from time to time execute and deliver all such supplements and amendments hereto and all such financing statements, continuation statements, instruments of further assurance and other instruments, all as prepared by the Administrator and delivered to the Issuer, and shall take such other action necessary or advisable to:

(i) Grant more effectively all or any portion of the Trust Estate;

SECTION 3.07. Performance of Obligations; Servicing of Receivables.

(a) The Issuer will not take any action and will use its reasonable best efforts not to permit any action to be taken by others that would release any Person from any of such Person’s material covenants or obligations under any instrument or agreement included in the Trust Estate or that would result in the amendment, hypothecation, subordination, termination or discharge of, or impair the validity or effectiveness of, any such instrument or agreement, except as expressly provided in this Indenture, the Sale and Servicing Agreement or such other instrument or agreement.

(b) The Issuer may contract with other Persons with notification to the Rating Agencies to assist it in performing its duties under this Indenture, and any performance of such duties by a Person identified to the Indenture Trustee in an Officer’s Certificate of the Issuer shall be deemed to be action taken by the Issuer. Initially, the Issuer has contracted with the Servicer and the Administrator to assist the Issuer in performing its duties under this Indenture.

To the extent the Indenture Trustee is appointed as Successor Servicer under Section 8.02 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, none of the responsibilities, duties and liabilities of the Servicer will transfer to the Indenture Trustee as Successor Servicer until the Indenture Trustee has received all documentation and data necessary to effect the transfer of the Servicer’s obligations to the Indenture Trustee.

If the Indenture Trustee acting at the direction of such Holders agrees to any such amendment, modification, supplement or waiver, the Indenture Trustee agrees, promptly following a request by the Issuer to do so, to execute and deliver, at the Issuer’s own expense, such agreements, instruments, consents and other documents prepared by the Issuer as the Issuer may deem necessary or appropriate in the circumstances.

Subject to the provisions herein relating to the duties of the Indenture Trustee, if an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers under this Indenture at the request or direction of any Noteholders or Verified Note Owners, other than requests, demands or directions required to be honored by the Indenture Trustee by Sections 13.01, 13.02 or 13.03(a) of this Indenture, Section 11.01 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement or Section 23 of the Administration Agreement, if the Indenture Trustee reasonably believes that it will not be adequately indemnified against the costs, expenses and liabilities that might be incurred by it in complying with such request. Subject to such provisions for indemnification and certain limitations contained herein, Noteholders holding not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding or any remedy available to the Indenture Trustee or exercising any trust power conferred on the Indenture Trustee, and Noteholders holding not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount may, in certain cases, waive any default with respect thereto, except a default in the payment of principal or interest or a default in respect of a covenant or provision of the Indenture that cannot be modified without the waiver or consent of all of the Holders of the Outstanding Notes.

SECTION 5.02. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.

(a) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, then and in every such case the Indenture Trustee may, or the Indenture Trustee as directed in writing by the Holders of Notes representing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes shall, declare all the Notes to be then immediately due and payable, by a notice in writing to the Issuer, 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 as provided in the Notes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (a), if an Event of Default specified in clauses (iv) or (v) of Section 5.01 shall have occurred and be continuing the Notes shall become immediately due and payable at par, together with accrued interest thereon.

(b) [Reserved.]

(c) At any time after such declaration of acceleration of maturity has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Indenture Trustee as hereinafter provided in this Article V, the Holders of Notes representing at

least a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, by written notice to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if:

(i) the Issuer has paid or deposited with the Indenture Trustee a sum sufficient to pay:

A. all payments of principal of and interest on the Notes and all other amounts that would then be due hereunder or upon such Notes if the Event of Default giving rise to such acceleration had not occurred; and

B. all sums paid by the Indenture Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses and disbursements of the Indenture Trustee and its agents and counsel and the reasonable compensation, expenses and disbursements of the Owner Trustee and its agents and counsel; and

(ii) all Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of the principal of the Notes that has become due solely by such acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 5.12.

No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereto.

SECTION 5.03. Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Indenture Trustee.

(a) The Issuer covenants that if (i) a default is made in the payment of any interest on any Note when the same becomes due and payable, and such default continues for a period of five (5) days, or (ii) a default is made in the payment of the principal of or any installment of the principal of any Note when the same becomes due and payable, the Issuer will, upon demand of the Indenture Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes, the entire amount then due and payable on such Notes in respect of principal and interest, with interest on the overdue principal and, to the extent payment at such rate of interest shall be legally enforceable, on overdue installments of interest at the related Interest Rate and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses and disbursements of the Indenture Trustee and its agents and counsel.

(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.

(c) If an Event of Default occurs, the Indenture Trustee may, or shall at the direction of the Holders of at least a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Noteholders, by such appropriate

Proceedings as the Indenture Trustee or the Indenture Trustee at the direction of the Holders of at least a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes shall reasonably deem most effective to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy or legal or equitable right vested in the Indenture Trustee by this Indenture or by law.

(d) In case there shall be pending, relative to the Issuer or any other obligor on the Notes or any Person having or claiming an ownership interest in the Trust Estate, Proceedings under Title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, or in case a receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization, or liquidator, sequestrator or similar official shall have been appointed for or taken possession of the Issuer or its property or such other obligor or Person, or in case of any other comparable Proceedings relative to the Issuer or other obligor on the Notes, or to the creditors or property of the Issuer or such other obligor, the Indenture Trustee, irrespective of whether the principal of any Notes shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Indenture Trustee shall have made any demand pursuant to the provisions of this Section, shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such Proceedings or otherwise:

(i) to file and prove a claim or claims for the entire amount of principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Notes and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Indenture Trustee (including any claim for reasonable compensation to the Indenture Trustee and each predecessor Indenture Trustee, and their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and for reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and liabilities incurred, by the Indenture Trustee and each predecessor Indenture Trustee, except as a result of negligence or bad faith) and of the Noteholders allowed in such Proceedings;

(ii) unless prohibited by applicable law or regulation, to vote on behalf of the Holders of Notes in any election of a trustee, a standby trustee or a Person performing similar functions in any such Proceedings;

(iii) to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute all amounts received with respect to the claims of the Noteholders and of the Indenture Trustee on their behalf; and

(iv) to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Indenture Trustee or the Holders of Notes allowed in any Proceedings relative to the Issuer, its creditors or its property;

and any trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official in any such Proceeding is hereby authorized by each of such Noteholders to make payments to the Indenture Trustee and, in the event that the Indenture Trustee shall consent to the making of payments directly to such Noteholders, to pay to the Indenture Trustee such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover

reasonable compensation to the Indenture Trustee, each predecessor Indenture Trustee and their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and all other expenses and liabilities incurred by the Indenture Trustee and each predecessor Indenture Trustee except as a result of negligence or bad faith, and any other amounts due the Indenture Trustee under Section 6.07.

(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.

(f) All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture, or under any of the Notes, may be enforced by the Indenture Trustee without the possession of any of the Notes or the production thereof in any Proceedings relative thereto, and any such Proceedings instituted by the Indenture Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment, subject to the payment of the expenses, disbursements and compensation of the Indenture Trustee, each predecessor Indenture Trustee and their respective agents and attorneys, shall be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes.

(g) In any Proceedings brought by the Indenture Trustee (and also any Proceedings involving the interpretation of any provision of this Indenture to which the Indenture Trustee shall be a party), the Indenture Trustee shall be held to represent all the Holders of the Notes, and it shall not be necessary to make any Noteholder a party to any such Proceedings.

SECTION 5.04. Remedies; Priorities.

(a) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Indenture Trustee may do one or more of the following (subject to Section 5.05):

(i) institute Proceedings in its own name and as trustee of an express trust for the collection of all amounts then payable on the Notes or under this Indenture with respect thereto, whether by declaration or otherwise, enforce any judgment obtained and collect from the Issuer and any other obligor on such Notes moneys adjudged due;

(ii) institute Proceedings from time to time for the complete or partial foreclosure of this Indenture with respect to the Trust Estate;

(iii) exercise any remedies of a secured party under the UCC and take any other appropriate action to protect and enforce the rights and remedies of the Indenture Trustee and the Holders of the Notes; and

(iv) after an acceleration of the maturity of the Notes pursuant to Section 5.02, sell the Trust Estate or any portion thereof or rights or interest therein, at one or more public or private sales called and conducted in any manner permitted by law;

provided that the Indenture Trustee may not sell or otherwise liquidate the Trust Estate following an Event of Default pursuant to clause (iv) above unless:

(A)

the Event of Default is of the type described in Section 5.01(i) or (ii); or

(B)

with respect to an Event of Default described in Section 5.01(iii):

(i) the Noteholders of all Outstanding Notes consent thereto; or

(ii) the proceeds of such sale or liquidation are sufficient to pay in full the principal of and accrued interest on the Outstanding Notes at the date of sale; or

(C)

with respect to any Event of Default described in Section 5.01(iv) and (v):

(i) the Noteholders of all Outstanding Notes consent thereto; or

(ii) the proceeds of such sale or liquidation are sufficient to pay in full the principal of and the accrued interest on the Outstanding Notes; or

(iii) the Indenture Trustee:

(x) determines (but shall have no obligation to make such determination) that the Trust Estate will not continue to provide sufficient funds for the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes as they would have become due if the Notes had not been declared due and payable; and

(y) the Indenture Trustee obtains the consent of Noteholders of Notes evidencing not less than 66 2/3% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes.

In determining such sufficiency or insufficiency with respect to clause (B)(ii) and (C)(ii) or (C)(iii)(x), Indenture Trustee may, but need not, obtain at the Issuer’s expense, and rely upon an opinion of an Independent investment banking or accounting firm of national reputation as to the feasibility of such proposed action and as to the sufficiency of the Trust Estate for such purpose.

(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 that has resulted in an acceleration of the Notes, if 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, in the following order:

FIRST: to the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee and the Asset Representations Reviewer, pro rata, based on amounts due to each such party, for payment of any Trustee and Reviewer Fees and other amounts required to be paid to such party pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, the Trust Agreement or the

Asset Representations Review Agreement, respectively (including, without limitation, expenses and indemnification amounts);

SECOND: to the Servicer for due and unpaid Servicing Fees and unreimbursed Advances;

THIRD: to the Noteholders for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes in respect of interest, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes in respect of interest;

FOURTH: 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;

FIFTH: to Holders of the Class A-2 Notes, Class A-3 Notes and Class A-4 Notes for amounts due and unpaid on the Class A-2 Notes, Class A-3 Notes and Class A-4 Notes in respect of principal, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Class A-2 Notes, Class A-3 Notes and Class A-4 Notes in respect of principal, until the Outstanding Amounts of the Class A-2 Notes, Class A-3 Notes and Class A-4 Notes are reduced to zero; and

SIXTH: to the Certificate Distribution Account, for distribution to the Certificateholders.

The Indenture Trustee may fix a Record Date and Payment Date for any payment to Noteholders pursuant to this Section. At least fifteen (15) days before such Record Date, the Issuer shall mail to each Noteholder and the Indenture Trustee a notice that states the Record Date, the Payment Date and the amount to be paid.

(ii) Except as provided in Section 5.04(b)(i), the Indenture Trustee shall make all payments and distributions of the Trust Estate in accordance with Section 8.02.

SECTION 5.05. Optional Preservation of the Receivables. 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 and continue to apply collections as provided herein. 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 5.06(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. No Holder of any Note shall have any right to institute any Proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless:

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

(ii) the Holders of not less than 25% of the Outstanding Amount of the 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;

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

(iv) 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

(v) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Indenture Trustee during such sixty (60) day period by the Holders of a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes.

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 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 operation of 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.

SECTION 5.11. Control by Noteholders. Subject to the provisions of Sections 5.06, 6.02(f) and 6.02(g), Noteholders holding not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the 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:

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

(ii) 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 Notes;

(iii) 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

(iv) 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, or is contrary to law or this Indenture.

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 Notes may waive any past Default or Event of Default and its consequences except a Default (a) in the deposit of collections or other required amounts, or any required payment from amounts held in any trust account in respect of amounts due on the Notes, (b) in payment of principal of, or interest or amounts due on any of the Notes or (c) 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 Holder’s acceptance of a Note 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 (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).

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 as a recovery of any judgment on the Notes or under this Indenture shall be applied in accordance with Section 5.04(b) as provided therein, and otherwise in accordance with Section 8.02.

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 a Seller, the Servicer or the Asset Representations Reviewer, as applicable, of each of their obligations under or in connection with the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Receivables Purchase Agreements and the Asset Representations Review 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, the Receivables Purchase Agreements and the Asset Representations Review Agreement to the extent and in the manner directed by the Indenture Trustee, including the transmission of notices of default on the part of any of the Sellers, the Servicer or the Asset Representations Reviewer thereunder and the institution of legal or administrative actions or proceedings to compel or secure performance by a Seller, the Servicer or the Asset Representations Reviewer, as applicable, of each of their obligations under the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Receivables Purchase Agreements and the Asset Representations Review Agreement; provided, however, nothing herein shall in any way impose on the Indenture Trustee the duty to monitor the performance of the Sellers, the Servicer or the Asset Representations Reviewer of any of their liabilities, duties or obligations under any Basic Document.

(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 Notes shall, exercise all rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims of the Issuer against the Sellers, the Servicer and the Asset Representations Reviewer under or in connection with the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Receivables Purchase Agreements and the Asset Representations Reviewer, including the right or power to take any action to compel or secure performance or observance by a Seller, the Servicer or the Asset Representations Reviewer, as the case may be, of each of their obligations thereunder and to give any consent, request, notice, direction, approval, extension or waiver under the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Receivables Purchase Agreements and the Asset Representations Review Agreement, as the case may be, and any right of the Issuer to take such action shall be suspended.

ARTICLE VI.

THE INDENTURE TRUSTEE

SECTION 6.01. Duties of Indenture Trustee.

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

(b) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default:

(i) 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; and

(ii) 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; provided, further, 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 Indenture, 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.

(c) 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 or bad faith, except that:

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

(ii) the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by the Indenture Trustee 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.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall the Indenture Trustee be liable for special, punitive, 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.

(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) [Reserved.]

(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 that in any way relates 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) Except as otherwise specifically set forth in the Sale and Servicing Agreement, 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 (A) 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, refiling or redepositing of any thereof, (B) to see to any insurance, or (C) 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 Estate.

(k) [Reserved].

(l) The Indenture Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Event of Default, Default, Servicer Termination Event, breach of representation or warranty or other event unless a Responsible Officer has actual knowledge thereof or has received written notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture or the other Basic Documents. For the avoidance of doubt, receipt by the Indenture Trustee of a Review Report under the Asset Representations Review Agreement shall not constitute knowledge of any such breach.

SECTION 6.02. Rights of Indenture Trustee.

(a) The Indenture Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be protected in acting upon or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, note, direction, demand, election or other paper or document reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper person. The Indenture Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document.

(b) Before the Indenture Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officer’s Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel from the appropriate party. The Indenture Trustee

shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on an Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel from the appropriate party. The right of the Indenture Trustee to perform any discretionary act enumerated in this Indenture or in any Basic Document shall not be construed as a duty of the Indenture Trustee and the Indenture Trustee shall not be answerable for other than its negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in the performance of such discretionary act.

(c) The Indenture Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys or a custodian or nominee and the Indenture Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of, or for the supervision of, the Administrator, any co-trustee or separate trustee appointed in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.10 or any other such agent, attorney, custodian or nominee appointed with due care by it hereunder.

(d) The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith that it believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers; provided, that the Indenture Trustee’s conduct does not constitute willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith.

(e) The Indenture Trustee may consult with counsel, at the Issuer’s expense and paid in the priority set forth in Section 5.06(b) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, and the written advice or opinion of counsel with respect to legal matters relating to this Indenture and the Notes shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect to any action taken, omitted or suffered by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel.

(f) The Indenture Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation under this Indenture or in relation to this Indenture or to honor the requests, demands or direction of any Noteholders or Verified Note Owners pursuant to this Indenture, other than requests, demands or directions explicitly required to be honored by the Indenture Trustee pursuant to Sections 13.01, 13.02, 13.03(a) or 13.04 of this Indenture, Section 11.01 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement or Section 23 of the Administration Agreement, unless such Noteholders or Verified Note Owners, as applicable, shall have offered to the Indenture Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to it against the reasonable costs, expenses, disbursements, advances and liabilities that might be incurred by it, its agents and its counsel in compliance with such request, demand or direction.

(g) The Indenture Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or document, unless requested in writing to do so by Noteholders evidencing not less than 50% of the Outstanding Amount; provided, however, that if the payment within a reasonable time to the Indenture Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the Indenture Trustee, not reasonably assured to the Indenture Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms of this Indenture, the Indenture Trustee may require indemnity satisfactory to it against such cost, expense or liability as a condition to so proceeding. The reasonable expense of each such investigation shall be paid by the Person making such

request, or, if paid by the Indenture Trustee, shall be reimbursed by the Person making such request upon demand.

(h) Any request or direction of the Issuer mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by an Issuer Request.

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

(l) The Indenture Trustee will not be responsible or liable for a failure or delay in the performance of its obligations under this Indenture from or caused by, directly or indirectly, forces beyond its control, including strikes, work stoppages, acts of war, terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear catastrophes, fires, floods, earthquakes, storms, hurricanes or other natural catastrophes and interruptions, unforeseeable loss or failures of mechanical, electronic or communication systems. The Indenture Trustee will use reasonable efforts consistent with accepted practices in the banking industry to resume performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances.

(m) For the avoidance of doubt, the Indenture Trustee shall not have any duty or obligation to monitor or enforce the Sponsor’s compliance with any applicable risk retention rules or regulations. The Indenture Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any such rules or regulations, and it shall not be liable to any Noteholder or any other Person for any violation of any such rules or regulations.

(n) In no event shall the Indenture Trustee be liable for failure to perform its duties under this Indenture if (i) such failure is a direct or proximate result of another party’s failure to perform its obligations under this Indenture, (ii) such other party’s failure was not a direct or proximate result of the Indenture Trustee’s willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence and (iii) such failure by the Indenture Trustee does not constitute willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith.

SECTION 6.03. 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, co-registrar or co-paying agent may do the same with like rights. However, the Indenture Trustee must comply with Sections 6.11 and 6.13.

SECTION 6.04. 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, any document issued in connection with the sale of the Notes or the Notes other than the Indenture Trustee’s certificate of authentication.

SECTION 6.05. Notice of Defaults. If a Default occurs and is continuing and a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee has actual knowledge thereof, 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 best interests of Noteholders.

SECTION 6.06. Reports by Indenture Trustee to Holders. The Indenture Trustee, upon written request, shall deliver to each Noteholder such information as may be required to enable such holder to prepare its U.S. federal and applicable state income tax returns.

SECTION 6.07. Compensation and Indemnity. The Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to the Indenture Trustee Fee as compensation for its services hereunder. The Issuer shall pay the Indenture Trustee Fee and 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 the reasonable out-of-pocket compensation and expenses, (including extraordinary expenses) disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee’s agents, counsel, accountants and experts. The Issuer shall indemnify the Indenture Trustee and any of its directors, officers, employees and agents (each, an “Indemnified Party”) for, and hold it harmless against, any and all loss, liability or expense (including extraordinary expenses) (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, including those fees and expenses incurred by an Indemnified Party in defending against any claim relating to the actions or inactions of the Indemnified Party or in connection with the enforcement of any indemnification or other obligation of the Issuer, as well as fees and expenses of experts and agents and extraordinary out-of-pocket expenses) incurred by it in connection with the administration of this trust and the performance of the Indenture Trustee’s duties hereunder or under the Sale and Servicing Agreement or under any other Basic Document. The fees, expenses and indemnities described in this Section 6.07 shall be paid and/or reimbursed by the Issuer pursuant to the terms of Section 5.06(b) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement and Section 5.04(b) of this Indenture, as applicable. The Indenture Trustee shall notify the Issuer and the Administrator promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Indenture Trustee to so notify the Issuer and the Administrator shall not relieve the Issuer of its obligations hereunder if no prejudice to the Issuer shall have resulted from such failure. The Issuer shall, or shall cause the Administrator to, defend any such claim, and the Indenture Trustee may have separate counsel and the Issuer shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel. The Issuer need not 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, except that the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable (i) for any error of judgment made by it in good faith unless it is proved that the Indenture Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the

pertinent facts, (ii) with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it from the Noteholders in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and (iii) for interest on any money received by it except as the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer may agree in writing. The Indenture Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any event unless a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or has received written notice thereof.

The Issuer’s payment obligations and indemnities 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(iv) or (v) with respect to the Issuer, the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under Title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.

SECTION 6.08. Replacement of Indenture Trustee. 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. The Indenture Trustee may resign with thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Issuer, the Servicer and the Administrator (and the Administrator shall make such notice available to each Rating Agency). The Holders of a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes may remove the Indenture Trustee, with thirty (30) days’ prior written notice, if:

(i) the Indenture Trustee fails to comply with Section 6.11;

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

(iii) a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Indenture Trustee or its property; or

(iv) the Indenture Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting.

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 to 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.

If a successor Indenture Trustee does not take office within sixty (60) days after the retiring Indenture Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Indenture Trustee, the Issuer or the Holders of a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee.

If the Indenture Trustee fails to comply with Section 6.11, any Noteholder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Indenture Trustee and the appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee.

Notwithstanding the replacement of the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section, the Issuer’s and the Administrator’s obligations under Section 6.07 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Indenture Trustee. Any costs associated with the resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee shall be paid by the Administrator.

SECTION 6.09. Successor Indenture Trustee by Merger. 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 6.11. The Indenture Trustee shall provide the Administrator notice of any such transaction.

If 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 if 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 authenticated by the successor Indenture Trustee shall have the full force and effect for purposes of this Indenture and the Notes as any certificate of authentication executed and delivered by the predecessor Indenture Trustee.

SECTION 6.10. Appointment of Co-Indenture Trustee or Separate Indenture Trustee.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirement of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust Estate may at the time be located, the Indenture Trustee shall have the power and may execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons to act as a co-trustee or co-trustees, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Trust, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the Noteholders, such title to the Trust Estate, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Indenture Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 6.11 and no notice to Noteholders of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required under Section 6.08.

(b) Every separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and conditions:

(i) all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Indenture Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Indenture Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being understood that such separate trustee or co-trustee is not authorized to act separately without the Indenture Trustee joining in such act), except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed the Indenture Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to the Trust Estate or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed singly by such separate trustee or co-trustee, but solely at the direction of the Indenture Trustee;

(ii) no trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder; and

(iii) the Indenture Trustee may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee.

(c) Any notice, request or other writing given to the Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Indenture and the conditions of this Article VI. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Indenture Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Indenture, specifically including every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Indenture Trustee. Every such instrument shall be filed with the Indenture Trustee.

(d) Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time constitute the Indenture Trustee, its agent or attorney-in-fact with full power and authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this Indenture on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the Indenture Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor trustee.

SECTION 6.11. Eligibility; Disqualification. The Indenture Trustee shall at all times satisfy the requirements of TIA § 310(a) and shall in addition have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 (as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition) and a long-term debt rating of “A” or better by, or be otherwise acceptable to, each Rating Agency. The Indenture Trustee shall comply with TIA § 310(b), including the optional provision permitted by the second sentence of TIA § 310(b)(9); provided, however, that there shall be excluded from the operation of TIA § 310(b)(1) any indenture or indentures under which

other securities of the Issuer are outstanding if the requirements for such exclusion set forth in TIA § 310(b)(1) are met.

SECTION 6.12. Preferential Collection of Claims Against Issuer. The Indenture Trustee shall comply with TIA § 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA § 311(b). An Indenture Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA § 311(a) to the extent indicated.

SECTION 6.13. Waiver of Setoffs. The Indenture Trustee hereby expressly waives any and all rights of setoff that the Indenture Trustee may otherwise at any time have under applicable law with respect to any Trust Account and agrees that amounts in the Trust Accounts shall at all times be held and applied solely in accordance with the provisions hereof and of the other Basic Documents.

SECTION 6.14. Licenses. The Issuer shall take such action as, in its reasonable judgment, shall be necessary to maintain the effectiveness of all sales finance company licenses required under the Pennsylvania Motor Vehicle Sales Finance Act, in connection with this Indenture and the transactions contemplated hereby until the lien and security interest of this Indenture shall no longer be in effect in accordance with the terms hereof.

SECTION 6.15. Additional Duties. U.S. Bank National Association agrees to perform the duties of Certificate Registrar, authenticating agent and Paying Agent as set forth under and pursuant to the Trust Agreement including, without limitation, those specified in Sections 3.07, 3.08, 3.09, and 5.01 of the Trust Agreement, and shall be entitled to all of the rights and indemnities of the Indenture Trustee in the performance of such duties.

SECTION 8.03. General Provisions Regarding Accounts.

certificated security shall be held by the Indenture Trustee in the State of New York or the State of Minnesota.

Except as otherwise provided hereunder or agreed in writing among the parties hereto, the Servicer shall retain the authority to institute, participate and join in any plan of reorganization, readjustment, merger or consolidation with respect to the issuer of any securities held hereunder in the Trust Accounts, and, in general, to exercise each and every other power or right with respect to each such asset or investment as individuals generally have and enjoy with respect to their own assets and investment, including power to vote on any securities.

The Issuer acknowledges that to the extent regulations of the Comptroller of the Currency or other applicable regulatory entity grant the Issuer the right or option to receive individual confirmations of security transactions at no additional cost, as they occur, the Issuer specifically waives the option to receive such confirmation to the extent permitted by law. The Indenture Trustee will furnish the Issuer periodic cash transaction statements that include detail for all investment transactions made by the Indenture Trustee hereunder.

SECTION 8.04. Release of Trust Estate.

(a) Subject to the payment of its fees and expenses pursuant to Section 6.07, the Indenture Trustee may, and when required by the provisions of this Indenture shall, execute instruments to release property from the lien of this Indenture, or convey the Indenture Trustee’s interest in the same, in a manner and under circumstances that are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture. No party relying upon an instrument executed by the Indenture Trustee as provided in this Article VIII shall be bound to ascertain the Indenture Trustee’s authority, inquire into the satisfaction of any conditions precedent or see to the application of any moneys.

(b) The Indenture Trustee shall, at such time as there are no Notes Outstanding and all sums due the Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 6.07 have been paid in full, release any remaining portion of the Trust Estate that secured the Notes from the lien of this Indenture and release to the Issuer or any other Person entitled thereto any funds then on deposit in the Trust Accounts. The Indenture Trustee shall release property from the lien of this Indenture pursuant to this Section 8.04(b) only upon receipt by it of an Issuer Request accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate, an Opinion of Counsel and (if required by the TIA) Independent Certificates in accordance with TIA §§ 314(c) and 314(d)(1) meeting the applicable requirements of Section 11.01.

(c) The Issuer agrees, upon request by the Servicer and representation by the Servicer that it has complied with the procedure in Section 9.01 of the Sale and Servicing

Agreement, to render the Issuer Request to the Indenture Trustee in accordance with Section 4.04, and take such other actions as are required in that Section.

SECTION 8.05. Opinion of Counsel. The Indenture Trustee shall receive at least seven (7) days’ prior written notice when requested by the Issuer to take any action pursuant to Section 8.04(b), accompanied by copies of any instruments involved, and the Indenture Trustee shall also require, as a condition to such action, an Opinion of Counsel, in form and substance satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee, stating the legal effect of any such action, outlining the steps required to complete the same, and concluding that all conditions precedent to the taking of such action have been complied with and such action will not materially and adversely impair the security for the Notes or the rights of the Noteholders in contravention of the provisions of this Indenture; provided, however, that such Opinion of Counsel shall not be required to express an opinion as to the fair value of the Trust Estate. Counsel rendering any such opinion may rely, without independent investigation, on the accuracy and validity of any certificate or other instrument delivered to the Indenture Trustee in connection with any such action.

ARTICLE IX.

(vi) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of the appointment hereunder by a successor trustee with respect to the Notes and to add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one trustee, pursuant to the requirements of Article VI; or

(vii) to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of this Indenture to such extent as shall be necessary to effect the qualification of this Indenture under the TIA or under any similar federal statute hereafter enacted and to add to this Indenture such other provisions as may be expressly required by the TIA.

The Indenture Trustee is hereby authorized to join in the execution of any such supplemental indenture and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained.

(b) The Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, when authorized by an Issuer Order, may, also without the consent of any of the Holders of the Notes but with prior notice made available to the Rating Agencies by the Administrator, enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding any provisions to, or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of, this Indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Notes under this Indenture; provided, however, that such action shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Noteholder; provided, further, that such action shall be deemed not to adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Noteholder and no Opinion of Counsel to that effect shall be required if the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied with respect to each Rating Agency.

SECTION 9.02. Supplemental Indentures with Consent of Noteholders. The Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, when authorized by an Issuer Order, also may, with prior notice made available to the Rating Agencies by the Administrator and with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, by Act of such Holders delivered to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding any provisions to, or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of, this Indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Notes under this Indenture; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall, without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Note affected thereby:

(i) change the date of payment of any installment of principal of or interest on any Note, or reduce the principal amount thereof, the interest rate thereon or the Redemption Price with respect thereto, change the provisions of this Indenture relating to the application of collections on, or the proceeds of the sale of, the Trust Estate to payment of principal of or interest on the Notes, or change any place of payment where, or the coin or currency in which, any Note or

the interest thereon is payable, or impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of the provisions of this Indenture requiring the application of funds available therefor, as provided in Article V, to the payment of any such amount due on the Notes on or after the respective due dates thereof (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date);

(ii) reduce the percentage of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, the consent of the Holders of which is required for any such supplemental indenture, or the consent of the Holders of which is required for any waiver of compliance with certain provisions of this Indenture or certain defaults hereunder and their consequences provided for in this Indenture;

(iii) modify or alter the provisions of the proviso to the definition of “Outstanding”;

(iv) reduce the percentage of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, required to direct the Indenture Trustee to direct the Issuer to sell or liquidate the Trust Estate pursuant to Section 5.04;

(v) modify any provision of this Section except to increase any percentage specified herein or to provide that certain additional provisions of this Indenture or the Basic Documents cannot be modified or waived without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Note affected thereby;

(vi) modify any of the provisions of this Indenture in such manner as to affect the calculation of the amount of any payment of interest or principal due on any Note on any Payment Date (including the calculation of any of the individual components of such calculation) or to affect the rights of the Holders of Notes to the benefit of any provisions for the mandatory redemption of the Notes contained herein; or

(vii) permit the creation of any lien ranking prior to or on a parity with the lien of this Indenture with respect to any part of the Trust Estate or, except as otherwise permitted or contemplated herein, terminate the lien of this Indenture on any property at any time subject hereto or deprive the Holder of any Note of the security provided by the lien of this Indenture.

It shall not be necessary for any Act of Noteholders under this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such Act shall approve the substance thereof.

Promptly after the execution by the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee of any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Section, the Indenture Trustee shall mail to the Holders of the Notes to which such amendment or supplemental indenture relates a notice setting forth in general terms the substance of such supplemental indenture. Any failure of the Indenture Trustee to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture.

SECTION 9.03. Execution of Supplemental Indentures. In executing, or permitting the additional trusts created by, any supplemental indenture permitted by this Article IX or the modification thereby of the trusts created by this Indenture, the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and subject to Sections 6.01 and 6.02, shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture, and that all conditions precedent thereto have been met. The Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such supplemental indenture that affects the Indenture Trustee’s or the Owner Trustee’s own rights, duties, indemnities or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise. Any supplemental indenture affecting the rights, duties, indemnities or immunities of the Owner Trustee shall require the Owner Trustee’s written consent.

SECTION 9.04. Effect of Supplemental Indenture. Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions hereof, this Indenture shall be and shall be deemed to be modified and amended in accordance therewith with respect to the Notes affected thereby, and the respective rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties, liabilities and immunities under this Indenture of the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer and the Holders of the Notes shall thereafter be determined, exercised and enforced hereunder subject in all respects to such modifications and amendments, and all the terms and conditions of any such supplemental indenture shall be and shall be deemed to be part of the terms and conditions of this Indenture for any and all purposes.

SECTION 9.05. Reference in Notes to Supplemental Indentures. Notes authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Article IX may, and if requested by the Issuer shall, bear a notation in form approved by the Indenture Trustee as to any matter provided for in such supplemental indenture. If the Issuer shall so determine, new Notes so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Issuer, to any such supplemental indenture may be prepared and executed by the Issuer and authenticated and delivered by the Indenture Trustee in exchange for Outstanding Notes.

SECTION 9.06. Conformity with Trust Indenture Act. Every amendment of this Indenture and every supplemental indenture executed pursuant to this Article IX shall conform to the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act as then in effect so long as this Indenture shall then be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act.

REDEMPTION OF NOTES

SECTION 10.01. Redemption. The Notes are subject to redemption in whole, but not in part, at the direction of the Servicer pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, on any Payment Date on which the Servicer exercises its option to purchase the Trust Estate pursuant to said Section 9.01, for a purchase price equal to the Redemption Price; provided, that the Issuer has available funds sufficient to pay the Redemption Price. The Servicer or the Issuer shall furnish the Rating Agencies and the Indenture Trustee notice of such redemption. If the Notes are to be redeemed pursuant to this Section 10.01, the

Servicer shall furnish notice of such election to the Indenture Trustee not later than twenty (20) days prior to the Redemption Date and shall deposit on the Business Day prior to the Redemption Date with the Indenture Trustee in the Note Distribution Account the Redemption Price of the Notes to be redeemed, whereupon all such Notes shall be due and payable on the Redemption Date upon the furnishing of a notice complying with Section 10.02 to each Holder of the Notes. For the avoidance of doubt, the Trust Accounts need not be closed until thirty (30) days after the receipt of such notice.

SECTION 10.02. Form of Redemption Notice. Notice of redemption under Section 10.01 shall be given by the Indenture Trustee by first-class mail, postage prepaid, or by facsimile mailed or transmitted not later than ten (10) days prior to the applicable Redemption Date to each Noteholder of record, as of the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of such notice at such Holder’s address or facsimile number appearing in the Note Register.

All notices of redemption shall state:

(i) the Redemption Date;

(ii) the Redemption Price;

(iii) the place where such Notes are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price (which shall be the office or agency of the Issuer to be maintained as provided in Section 3.02); and

(iv) that interest on the Notes shall cease to accrue on the Redemption Date.

Notice of redemption of the Notes shall be given by the Indenture Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Issuer. Failure to give notice of redemption, or any defect therein, to any Holder of any Note shall not impair or affect the validity of the redemption of any other Note.

SECTION 10.03. Notes Payable on Redemption Date. The Notes or portions thereof to be redeemed shall, following notice of redemption as required by Section 10.02 (in the case of redemption pursuant to Section 10.01), on the Redemption Date become due and payable at the Redemption Price and (unless the Issuer shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price) no interest shall accrue on the Redemption Price for any period after the date to which accrued interest is calculated for purposes of calculating the Redemption Price.

ARTICLE XI.

SECTION 11.01. Compliance Certificates and Opinions, etc.

(a) Upon any application or request by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee to take any action under any provision of this Indenture, the Issuer shall furnish to the Indenture Trustee (i) an Officer’s Certificate stating that all conditions precedent, if any, provided for in

this Indenture relating to the proposed action have been complied with and (ii) an Opinion of Counsel stating that in the opinion of such counsel all such conditions precedent, if any, have been complied with and (iii) (if required by the TIA) an Independent Certificate from a firm of certified public accountants meeting the applicable requirements of this Section, except that, in the case of any such application or request as to which the furnishing of such documents is specifically required by any provision of this Indenture, no additional certificate or opinion need be furnished.

(b) (i) Prior to the deposit of any Collateral or other property or securities with the Indenture Trustee that is to be made the basis for the release of any property or securities subject to the lien of this Indenture, the Issuer shall, in addition to any obligation imposed in Section 11.01(a) or elsewhere in this Indenture, 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 ninety (90) days of such deposit) to the Issuer of the Collateral or other property or securities to be so deposited.

(ii) Whenever the Issuer is required to furnish to the Indenture Trustee an Officer’s Certificate certifying or stating the opinion of any signatory thereof as to the matters described in clause (i) above, the Issuer shall also deliver to the Indenture Trustee an Independent Certificate as to the same matters, if the fair value to the Issuer of the securities to be so deposited and of all other such securities made the basis of any such withdrawal or release since the commencement of the then-current fiscal year of the Issuer, as set forth in the certificates delivered pursuant to clause (i) above and this clause (ii), is 10% or more of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, but such a certificate need not be furnished with respect to any securities so deposited, if the fair value thereof to the Issuer as set forth in the related Officer’s Certificate is less than $25,000 or less than one percent of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes.

(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 ninety (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 and 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.

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.

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, a Seller, the Issuer or the Administrator, stating that the information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the Servicer, a 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.

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:

(i) 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

(ii) 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: BMW Vehicle Owner Trust 2019-A, in care of Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Owner Trustee, 0000 Xxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, 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 or mailed by certified mail, return receipt requested, to (i) in the case of S&P, at the following address: S&P Global Ratings, 00 Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, Attention: Asset Backed Surveillance Department, Email: XXX_Xxxxxxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx; (ii) in the case of Fitch, at the following address: Fitch Ratings, Inc., 00 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, Attention: Asset Backed Surveillance; 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.

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. 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 11.07. 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 11.08. 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 11.09. Benefits of Indenture. 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, the Owner Trustee, 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 11.10. 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, except in the case of the Class A-1 Notes.

SECTION 11.11. Governing Law. THIS INDENTURE SHALL BE GOVERNED AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS (OTHER THAN SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW), AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS. REGARDLESS OF ANY PROVISION IN ANY OTHER AGREEMENT, FOR PURPOSES OF THE UCC, NEW YORK SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE THE SECURITIES INTERMEDIARY’S JURISDICTION, AND THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SHALL GOVERN ALL ISSUES SPECIFIED IN ARTICLE 2(1) OF THE HAGUE SECURITIES CONVENTION.

SECTION 11.12. Counterparts. 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.

SECTION 11.13. 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 11.14. Trust Obligation. 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 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) except that any such partner, owner or beneficiary shall be fully liable, to the extent provided by applicable law, for any unpaid consideration for stock, unpaid capital contribution or failure to pay any installment or call owing to such entity. 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.

SECTION 11.15. No Petition. The Indenture Trustee, by entering into this Indenture, each Noteholder, by accepting a Note, and each Note Owner, by accepting a beneficial interest in a Note, hereby covenant and agree that they will not, at any time, petition or otherwise invoke or cause the Issuer or the Depositor to invoke the process of any court or government authority for the purpose of commencing or sustaining a case against the Issuer or the Depositor under any federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other similar official of the Issuer or the Depositor or any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of the affairs of the Issuer or the Depositor.

SECTION 11.16. Inspection.

ARTICLE XII.

COMPLIANCE WITH THE FDIC RULE

SECTION 12.01. Purpose.

(a) Each of the Noteholders, by its acceptance of the Notes or a beneficial interest therein, each of the Certificateholders, by its acceptance of the Certificates, the FDIC Rule Parties and the Indenture Trustee acknowledges and agrees that the purpose of this Article XII is to facilitate compliance by the FDIC Rule Parties with the provisions of the FDIC Rule. Each of the Noteholders, the Certificateholders, the FDIC Rule Parties and the Indenture Trustee acknowledges that the interpretations of the requirements of the FDIC Rule may change over time, whether due to interpretive guidance provided by the FDIC or its staff, consensus among participants in the asset-backed securities markets, advice of counsel, or otherwise, and agrees that the provisions set forth in this Article XII shall have the effect and meanings that are appropriate under the FDIC Rule as such effect and meanings change over time on the basis of evolving interpretations of the FDIC Rule.

(b) If any provision of the FDIC Rule is amended, or any interpretive guidance regarding the FDIC Rule is provided by the FDIC or its staff, as a result of which the Issuer determines that an amendment to this Article XII is necessary or desirable, then the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee shall be authorized and entitled to amend this Article XII in accordance with such FDIC Rule amendment or guidance notwithstanding the requirements set forth in Sections 9.01 and 9.02, provided that the Issuer delivers to the Indenture Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such amendment is required in order to remain in compliance with the FDIC Rule. Nothing in this Section 12.01(b) shall limit the rights of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee pursuant to Section 9.03, and the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee shall have no duty to monitor or enforce the ongoing compliance by the FDIC Rule Parties with the FDIC Rule or this Article XII.

(c) As used in this Article XII, but subject to the rules of interpretation specified in Section 12.01(a) and Section 12.01(b), references to (i) the “sponsor” shall mean BMW Bank, (ii) the “issuing entity” shall mean, collectively, the Depositor, BMW FS and the Issuer (except in Section 12.02(e), where such term shall have the meaning assigned thereto in the FDIC Rule), (iii) the “servicer” shall mean the Servicer or the Administrator, as applicable, (iv) “obligations” or “securitization obligations” shall be deemed to refer to the Notes, but only to the extent secured by the Receivables sold by BMW Bank to the Depositor under the related Receivables Purchase Agreement, and (v) “financial assets” shall mean the Receivables transferred to the Depositor by BMW Bank (except in Section 12.02(e), where such term shall have the meaning assigned thereto in the FDIC Rule). As a practical matter, and subject to certain limited exceptions, the transactions contemplated by the Basic Documents do not distinguish between Receivables sold by BMW Bank to the Depositor and Receivables sold by BMW FS to the Depositor, and the provisions of Section 12.02(a) and Section 12.02(b) are true for all of the Receivables and all of the Notes for so long as any Receivables sold by BMW Bank to the Depositor are owned by the Issuer.

(d) Each of the FDIC Rule Parties believes that the transactions and actions contemplated by the Basic Documents and the related prospectus comply with the requirements of Section 12.02.

SECTION 12.02. Requirements of the FDIC Rule. As required by the FDIC Rule:

(a) Payment of principal and interest on the securitization obligations must be primarily based on the performance of financial assets that are transferred to the Issuer and, except for interest rate or currency mismatches between the financial assets and the obligations, shall not be contingent on market or credit events that are independent of such financial assets.

(b) The sponsor, issuing entity, and/or servicer, as appropriate, shall make available to investors, information describing the financial assets, obligations, capital structure, compensation of relevant parties, and relevant historical performance data set forth below:

(i) On or prior to issuance of obligations and at the time of delivery of any periodic distribution report and, in any event, at least once per calendar quarter, while obligations are outstanding, information about the obligations and the financial assets shall be disclosed to all potential investors at the financial asset or pool level, as appropriate for the financial assets, and security-level to enable evaluation and analysis of the credit risk and performance of the obligations and financial assets. Such information and its disclosure, at a minimum, shall comply with the requirements of Regulation AB or any successor disclosure requirements for public issuances, even if the obligations are issued in a private placement or are not otherwise required to be registered; provided that information that is unknown or not available to the sponsor or the issuing entity after reasonable investigation may be omitted if the issuing entity includes a statement in the offering documents disclosing that the specific information is otherwise unavailable;

(ii) On or prior to issuance of obligations, the structure of the securitization and the credit and payment performance of the obligations shall be disclosed, including the capital or tranche structure, the priority of payments and specific subordination features; representations and warranties made with respect to the financial assets, the remedies for and the time permitted for cure of any breach of representations and warranties, including the repurchase of financial assets, if applicable; liquidity facilities and any credit enhancements permitted by the FDIC Rule, any waterfall triggers or priority of payment reversal features; and policies governing delinquencies, servicer advances, loss mitigation, and write-offs of financial assets;

(iii) While obligations are outstanding, the issuing entity shall provide to investors information with respect to the credit performance of the obligations and the financial assets, including periodic and cumulative financial asset performance data, delinquency and modification data for the financial assets, substitutions and removal of financial assets, servicer advances, as well as losses that were allocated to such tranche and the remaining balance of financial assets supporting such tranche, if applicable, and the percentage of each tranche in relation to the securitization as a whole; and

(iv) In connection with the issuance of the obligations, the nature and amount of compensation paid to the originator, sponsor, rating agency or third-party advisor, any mortgage or other broker, and the servicer(s), and the extent to which any risk of loss on the underlying assets is retained by any of them for such securitization shall be disclosed. The issuing entity shall provide to investors while any obligations are outstanding any changes to such information and the amount and nature of payments of any deferred compensation or similar arrangements to any of the parties.

(d) The obligations shall not be predominantly sold to an affiliate (other than a wholly-owned subsidiary consolidated for accounting and capital purposes with the sponsor) or an affiliated broker-dealer who purchases such obligations with a view to promptly reselling such obligations to persons or entities that are neither affiliates (other than wholly-owned subsidiaries of the sponsor consolidated for accounting and capital purposes with the sponsor) nor insiders of the sponsor in the ordinary course of such broker-dealer’s business pursuant to an underwriting or similar agreement entered into in the ordinary course of business; provided that (i) at the time the obligations are sold to the affiliated broker-dealer, such broker-dealer sells not less than 51% of the principal amount of the obligations to persons and entities that are not affiliates (other than wholly-owned subsidiaries of the sponsor consolidated for accounting and capital purposes with the sponsor) or insiders of the sponsor; (ii) at all times after such obligations are sold to the affiliated broker-dealer, such broker-dealer holds the unsold portion of the obligations with the intent to sell such unsold portion to persons or entities that are not affiliates (other than wholly-owned subsidiaries of the sponsor consolidated for accounting and capital purposes with the sponsor) or insiders of the sponsor and (iii) the other requirements of

the FDIC Rule, including, without limitation, the requirements of Sections 360.6(c)(3) and (4) of the FDIC Rule, are satisfied.

(e) The sponsor shall separately identify in its financial asset databases the financial assets transferred into any securitization and shall maintain an electronic or paper copy of the closing documents for such securitization in a readily accessible form, and a current list of all of its outstanding securitizations and issuers, and the most recent Form 10-K, if applicable, or other periodic financial report for each securitization and issuer. The sponsor shall make these records readily available for review by the FDIC promptly upon written request.

(f) To the extent serving as servicer, custodian or paying agent for the securitization, the sponsor shall not commingle amounts received with respect to the financial assets with its own assets except for the time, not to exceed two (2) Business Days, necessary to clear any payments received.

SECTION 12.03. Performance. The Issuer agrees to perform the obligations set forth in Section 12.02, except to the extent any such obligation is specifically imposed exclusively upon the servicer or the sponsor, and to the extent the performance of such obligations is necessary to facilitate compliance with this Article XII by all FDIC Rule Parties.

SECTION 12.04. Effect of Section 941 Rules. Section 12.02(c) hereof shall not be construed to require the sponsor to retain any greater economic interest in the credit risk of the financial assets than is required to comply with the FDIC Rule and other applicable law. Accordingly, upon the effective date of regulations promulgated under Section 15G of the Securities Exchange Act, 15 U.S.C. 78a et seq., added by Section 941(b) of the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (such regulations, the “Section 941 Rules” and such date, the “Section 941 Effective Date”) and thereafter, the sponsor shall have the option to adjust the amount of credit risk that it retains for purposes of the FDIC Rule, or the terms under which such credit risk is retained for purposes of the FDIC Rule, the method by which such credit risk is retained or the restrictions applicable to the credit risk retained for purposes of the FDIC Rule, to the greatest extent elected by the sponsor, so long as the sponsor’s retention shall be in compliance with the Section 941 Rules. Within a reasonable time after the sponsor has so adjusted the amount or terms of the credit risk it retains, the sponsor shall give notice thereof to the Noteholders and the Certificateholders, and each of the Indenture Trustee and the FDIC Rule Parties is authorized and entitled to amend Section 12.02(c), in accordance with and to the extent the Issuer determines necessary or appropriate, to reflect the requirements of the Section 941 Rules.

SECTION 12.05. Actions Upon Repudiation.

(a) In the event that the sponsor becomes the subject of an insolvency proceeding and the FDIC, as receiver or conservator for the sponsor, exercises its right of repudiation as contemplated by paragraph (d)(4)(ii) of the FDIC Rule, the Servicer shall ascertain whether the FDIC in such capacity will pay damages as provided in such paragraph (d)(4)(ii). Upon making such determination, the Servicer shall promptly, and in any event no more than one (1) Business Day thereafter (or, if the Servicer fails to act, the Noteholders representing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes or the

Certificateholders representing a majority of the Certificate Percentage Interests may), notify the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee.

(b) Upon receipt of the notice specified in Section 12.05(a) indicating that a payment will be made, the Indenture Trustee shall determine the date (the “applicable distribution date”) for making a distribution to Noteholders and, if applicable, Certificateholders of such damages, which date shall be the earlier of (i) the next Payment Date on which such damages could be distributed and (ii) the earliest practicable date by which the Indenture Trustee could declare a special distribution date, in each case subject to all applicable provisions of this Indenture, applicable law and the procedures of any applicable Clearing Agency.

(c) When the applicable distribution date is determined, the Indenture Trustee shall cause the Servicer to promptly compute the amount of interest to be paid on each Class of Notes on the applicable distribution date, which interest shall be the amount accruing up to the applicable distribution date and which (unless such applicable distribution date is a Payment Date) shall be computed by pro rating the amount that would otherwise be payable on the next succeeding Payment Date following the applicable distribution date on the basis of (x) the number (in the case of Notes other than the Class A-1 Notes, not to exceed 30) of days elapsed from and including the preceding Payment Date to such applicable distribution date divided by (y) 30.

(d) If the applicable distribution date is a special distribution date, the Indenture Trustee shall (i) declare such special distribution date (the record date for which shall be the close of business on the day immediately preceding such special distribution date), (ii) declare a special distribution to Noteholders and (iii) deliver notice to the Noteholders and the Owner Trustee of such special distribution date and the amount to be distributed on such date.

(e) Following payment by the FDIC of damages as provided in paragraph (d)(4)(ii) of the FDIC Rule, the Indenture Trustee shall cause the amount of such damages to be deposited in the Note Distribution Account. If, as of the applicable distribution date, (x) the maturity of the Notes has been accelerated pursuant to Section 5.02, such damages shall be distributed on such distribution date in the order and priority set forth in clauses THIRD, FOURTH and FIFTH of Section 5.04(b)(i) or (y) the maturity of the Notes has not been accelerated pursuant to Section 5.02, such damages shall be distributed on such distribution date in accordance with the following order of priority:

(i) first, to the Holders of the Notes, ratably, interest on the Notes in the amount computed by the Servicer pursuant to Section 12.05(c); provided that if there are not sufficient funds available to pay the entire amount of the accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes, the amounts available shall be applied to the payment of such interest on the Notes on a pro rata basis based upon the amount of interest due on each Class of Notes;

(ii) second, to the Holders of the applicable Notes in the order and priority set forth in Section 8.02(e)(i)-(iv), in an amount equal to the FDIC Principal Amount for such distribution date;

(iii) third, to the Reserve Account, the amount, if any, necessary to cause the amount on deposit in the Reserve Account to equal the Reserve Account Required Amount (calculated as if such distribution date is a Payment Date); and

(iv) fourth, any remaining amounts, to the Certificate Distribution Account, for distribution to the Certificateholders.

(f) Notwithstanding anything in this Indenture or the other Basic Documents to the contrary, if any applicable distribution date is not a Payment Date, for purposes of calculating (i) the First Priority Principal Distribution Amount and the Regular Principal Distribution Amount for the Payment Date immediately following the applicable distribution date, the phrase “preceding Payment Date” shall be deemed to refer to such applicable distribution date, (ii) the Servicing Fee for the Payment Date immediately following the applicable distribution date, such fee shall be adjusted, as applicable, for any period of time in the related Collection Period in respect of which the Servicer was not servicing any related Receivables on behalf of the Issuer, and (iii) interest payable on the Notes pursuant to Section 5.06(b) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement for the Payment Date immediately following the applicable distribution date, the phrase “preceding Payment Date” shall be deemed to refer to such applicable distribution date and the phrase “prior Payment Dates” shall be deemed to include such applicable distribution date.

SECTION 12.06. Notice.

(a) In the event that BMW Bank becomes the subject of an insolvency proceeding and the FDIC, as receiver or conservator, provides a written notice of repudiation as contemplated by paragraph (d)(4)(ii) of the FDIC Rule, the party receiving such notice shall promptly deliver such notice to each of the FDIC Rule Parties, the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee.

(b) If the FDIC (i) is appointed as a conservator or receiver of BMW Bank and (ii) is in default due to its failure to pay principal or interest when due following the expiration of any cure period hereunder or under the other Basic Documents, the Indenture Trustee at the direction of the Noteholders representing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, the Servicer or the Certificateholders representing not less than a majority of the Certificate Percentage Interests shall be entitled to deliver written notice to the FDIC requesting the exercise of contractual rights hereunder and under the other Basic Documents. Upon delivery of such notice, the Indenture Trustee may exercise any contractual rights it may have in accordance with the Basic Documents and the FDIC Rule. The Indenture Trustee shall, at the written direction of the Noteholders representing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, or the Owner Trustee shall, at the written direction of the Certificateholders representing not less than a majority of the Certificate Percentage Interests, exercise such contractual rights.

SECTION 12.07. Reservation of Rights. Neither the inclusion of this Article XII in this Indenture nor the compliance by any Person with, or the acknowledgment by any Person of, this Article’s provisions constitutes an agreement or acknowledgment by any Person

that, in the case of an insolvency proceeding with respect to BMW Bank, a receiver or conservator will have any rights with respect to the Trust Estate.

ARTICLE XIII.

SECTION 13.01. Noteholder and Note Owner Requests for Vote on Asset Representations Review. If the Indenture Trustee receives a notice from the Servicer pursuant to Section 11.01 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement regarding the occurrence of a Delinquency Trigger, then the Indenture Trustee shall promptly provide directions to the Administrator regarding the method by which Noteholders and Note Owners may contact the Indenture Trustee in order to request a vote whether to cause the ARR Receivables to be reviewed by the Asset Representations Reviewer pursuant to the terms of the Asset Representations Review Agreement. The Indenture Trustee shall promptly notify the Servicer and the Administrator upon the receipt of any request by Noteholders and Note Owners regarding a vote on whether to cause the ARR Receivables to be reviewed by the Asset Representations Reviewer pursuant to the terms of the Asset Representations Review Agreement. Noteholders and Note Owners may request a vote not later than ninety (90) days after the date on which the Form 10-D describing the occurrence of such Delinquency Trigger shall have been filed by the Administrator pursuant to the terms of Section 1.1(AA) of the Administration Agreement; provided that, if the requesting party is a Note Owner and not a Noteholder, the Note Owner must include with its request a written certification that the requesting party is a Note Owner, together with one of the following additional forms of documentation of the requesting party’s status as a Note Owner: (A) a trade confirmation; (B) an account statement; (C) a letter from a broker-dealer that is acceptable to the Indenture Trustee or Administrator, as applicable; or (D) any other form of documentation that is acceptable to the Indenture Trustee or Administrator, as applicable (any such Note Owner who provides the required certification and documentation, a “Verified Note Owner”). The Indenture Trustee shall promptly notify the Servicer and the Administrator if Noteholders and Verified Note Owners representing at least 5% of the outstanding aggregate principal amount of all Outstanding Notes (such requesting Noteholders and Verified Note Owners, collectively, the “Requesting Noteholders”) properly and timely request a vote to cause the ARR Receivables to be reviewed by the Asset Representations Reviewer pursuant to the terms of the Asset Representations Review Agreement.

SECTION 13.02. Noteholder and Note Owner Vote on Asset Representations Review. Beginning promptly after receipt from the Administrator of a copy of a notice sent to Noteholders and Note Owners pursuant to Section 23 of the Administration Agreement, the Indenture Trustee shall cause the initiation of a review of ARR Receivables to be submitted to a yes or no vote of the Noteholders (with respect to Book-Entry Notes, as directed by the related Note Owners via the applicable Clearing Agency pursuant to its procedures for such votes) of record as of the most recent Record Date. If, by no earlier than the deadline specified by the Administrator pursuant to Section 23 of the Administration Agreement, (i) votes have been cast by Noteholders holding at least 5% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Outstanding Notes and (ii) affirmative votes in favor of an Asset Representations Review have been cast by Noteholders representing at least a majority of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Outstanding Notes held by voting Noteholders, the Indenture Trustee will promptly

notify the Servicer, the Sellers, the Administrator and the Asset Representations Reviewer to the notice addresses set forth in Section 9.02 of the Asset Representations Review Agreement that the requisite Noteholders have directed the Asset Representations Reviewer to perform a review of the ARR Receivables for the purpose of determining whether such ARR Receivables were in compliance with the representations and warranties made by the Sellers pursuant to Section 3.02(b) of the applicable Receivables Purchase Agreement.

SECTION 13.03. Evaluation of Review Report.

(a) If a Noteholder or a Verified Note Owner notifies the Indenture Trustee in writing that it considers any non-compliance of any representation with respect to any ARR Receivable to be a breach of the applicable Basic Document, or requests in writing that any Receivable (including any ARR Receivable) be repurchased (including, for the avoidance of doubt, as described in Section 11.02 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement), the Indenture Trustee will promptly forward that written notice to the related Seller, as applicable.

(b) The Indenture Trustee shall have no obligation to pursue or otherwise be involved in resolving any repurchase request, including any such request that is the subject of a dispute resolution proceeding, unless it is directed to do so by Noteholders representing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount and such Noteholders shall have offered to the Indenture Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to it against the reasonable costs, expenses, disbursements, advances and liabilities that might be incurred by it, its agents and its counsel in compliance with such direction. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Indenture Trustee does not agree to pursue or otherwise be involved in resolving any reallocation request, the related Noteholders may independently pursue dispute resolution in respect of such reallocation request in accordance with Section 11.02 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

(c) The related Seller will have the sole ability to determine if there was non-compliance with any representation or warranty made by it in Section 3.02(b) of the applicable Receivables Purchase Agreement, respectively, that constitutes a breach that materially and adversely affects the interests of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Certificateholders or the Noteholders in any Receivable, and whether to repurchase the related ARR Receivable from the Issuer in accordance with the terms of Section 6.02 of the related Receivables Purchase Agreement.

SECTION 13.04. Dispute Resolution. Any Noteholder or Note Owner may pursue dispute resolution procedures as set forth in Section 11.02 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. With respect to any dispute resolution, if so directed by the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee will notify the Requesting Party of the date when the 180-day period related to such dispute resolution proceeding ends without resolution by the appropriate party and that the Requesting Party has thirty (30) days to notify the related Seller and the Servicer if it wishes to pursue dispute resolution. For the avoidance of doubt, the Indenture Trustee shall be under no obligation to monitor repurchase activity or to independently determine whether a repurchase request remains unresolved at the end of the related 180-day period.

PERFECTION REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS

In addition to the representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Indenture, the Issuer hereby represents, warrants and covenants to the Indenture Trustee as follows on the Closing Date:

1. The Indenture creates a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the applicable UCC) in the Receivables and the other Collateral in favor of the Indenture Trustee, which security interest is prior to all other Liens, and is enforceable as such against creditors of and purchasers from the Issuer.

2. The Receivables constitute “chattel paper” (including “tangible chattel paper” and “electronic chattel paper”) within the meaning of the applicable UCC.

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

4. The Issuer owns and has good and marketable title to each Receivable free and clear of all Liens and rights of others (other than pursuant to the Basic Documents).

5. The Issuer has caused or will have caused, within ten (10) days after the Closing Date, the filing of all appropriate financing statements in the proper filing office in the appropriate jurisdictions under applicable law in order to perfect the security interest in the Receivables granted to the Indenture Trustee hereunder. All financing statements referred to in this paragraph 5 contain a statement that: “A purchase of or security interest in any collateral described in this financing statement will violate the rights of the Secured Party.”

6. With respect to Receivables that constitute tangible chattel paper, such tangible chattel paper is in the possession of the Servicer, and the Servicer (in its capacity as custodian) is holding such tangible chattel paper solely on behalf and for the benefit of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, as pledgee of the Issuer. With respect to Receivables that constitute electronic chattel paper, the Servicer has “control” of such electronic chattel paper within the meaning of Section 9-105 of the applicable UCC and the Servicer (in its capacity as custodian) is maintaining control of such electronic chattel paper solely on behalf and for the benefit of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, as pledgee of the Issuer. No person other than the Servicer has “control” of any Receivable that is evidenced by electronic chattel paper.

7. The Servicer, in its capacity as custodian, has in its possession (i) the original copy of each Receivable that constitutes tangible chattel paper, (ii) the “authoritative copy” of each Receivable that constitutes electronic chattel paper and (iii) all financing statements referred to in paragraph 5. With respect to any Receivable constituting electronic chattel paper, there is only one “authoritative copy” of the Receivable and with respect to any Receivable constituting tangible chattel paper, there is no more than one original executed copy of such Receivable.

Sch. B-1

8. Neither the Issuer nor a custodian or vaulting agent thereof holding any Receivable that is electronic chattel paper has communicated an “authoritative copy” (as such term is used in Section 9-105 of the UCC) of any loan agreement that constitutes or evidences such Receivable to any Person other than the Servicer.

9. With respect to the Trust Accounts that constitute deposit accounts, either:

(i) the Issuer has delivered to the Indenture Trustee a fully executed agreement pursuant to which the bank maintaining the deposit accounts has agreed to comply with all instructions originated by the Indenture Trustee directing disposition of the funds in such Trust Accounts without further consent by the Issuer; or

(ii) the Issuer has taken all steps necessary to cause the Indenture Trustee to become the account holder of such Trust Accounts.

REVERSE OF CLASS A-1 NOTE

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Issuer, designated as its 2.11124% Asset Backed Notes, Class A-1 (herein called the “Class A-1 Notes”), all issued under the Indenture, to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights and obligations thereunder of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Holders of the Notes. The Class A-1 Notes are subject to all terms of the Indenture.

The Class A-1 Notes, Class A-2 Notes, Class A-3 Notes and Class A-4 Notes (collectively, the “Notes”) are and will be secured by the collateral pledged as security therefor as provided in the Indenture.

Principal of the Class A-1 Notes will be payable on each Payment Date in an amount described on the face hereof. “Payment Date” means the 25th day of each month, or, if any such date is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day, commencing in October 2019.

As described above, the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note shall be due and payable on the earlier of the Class A-1 Final Scheduled Payment Date and the Redemption Date, if any, pursuant to Section 10.01 of the Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default occurs, the Indenture Trustee may, or at the direction of Holders of Notes representing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes shall, declare the Notes to be immediately due and payable in the manner provided in Section 5.02 of the Indenture. All principal payments on the Class A-1 Notes shall be made pro rata to the Class A-1 Noteholders entitled thereto.

Payments of interest on this Note due and payable on each Payment Date, together with the installment of principal, if any, to the extent not in full payment of this Note, shall be made by wire transfer as directed by such Holder provided such Holder has provided written wiring instructions to the Indenture Trustee and otherwise by check mailed to the Person whose name appears as the Registered Holder of this Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) on the Note Register as of the close of business on each Record Date, except that 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.), payments will be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account designated by such nominee. Such checks shall be mailed to the Person entitled thereto at the address of such Person as it appears on the Note Register as of the applicable Record Date without requiring that this Note be submitted for notation of payment. Any reduction in the principal amount of this Note (or any one or more Predecessor Notes) effected by any payments made on any Payment Date shall be binding upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not noted hereon. If funds are expected to be available, as provided in the Indenture, for payment in full of the then remaining unpaid principal amount of this Note on a Payment Date, then the Indenture Trustee, in the name of and on behalf of the Issuer, will notify the Person who was the Registered Holder hereof as of the Record Date preceding such Payment Date by notice mailed or transmitted by facsimile prior to such Payment Date, and the amount then due and payable shall be payable only upon presentation and

A-1-4

surrender of this Note at the applicable Corporate Trust Office of the Indenture Trustee or such other address as is selected by the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the terms of the Indenture.

The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the Class A-1 Rate to the extent lawful.

As provided in the Indenture, the Notes may be redeemed in whole, but not in part, at the option of the Servicer, on any Payment Date with respect to which the Pool Balance is equal to or less than 5% of the Initial Pool Balance.

As provided in the Indenture and subject to the limitations set forth therein and on the face hereof, the transfer of this Note may be registered on the Note Register upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency designated by the Issuer pursuant to the Indenture, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee duly executed by, the Holder hereof 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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and thereupon one or more new Notes of authorized denominations and in the same aggregate principal amount will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. No service charge will be charged for any registration of transfer or exchange of this Note, but the transferor may be required to pay a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any such registration of transfer or exchange subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture.

Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of this Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in this Note, covenants and agrees that 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 the Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered in connection therewith, against (i) the Sellers, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in their respective individual capacities, (ii) any owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, including the Sellers, or (iii) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer, director or employee of the Sellers, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, any holder of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, the Sellers, the Servicer, 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 and except that any such partner, owner or beneficiary shall be fully liable, to the extent provided by applicable law, for any unpaid consideration for stock, unpaid capital contribution or failure to pay any installment or call owing to such entity.

Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of this Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in this Note, covenants and agrees by accepting the benefits of the Indenture that such Noteholder or Note Owner will not, at any time, petition or otherwise invoke or cause the Issuer or the Depositor to invoke the process of any court or government authority for the purpose of commencing or sustaining a case against the Issuer or the Depositor

A-1-5

under any federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other similar official of the Issuer or the Depositor or any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of the affairs of the Issuer or the Depositor.

The Issuer has entered into the Indenture and this Note is 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 held by parties unrelated to the holders of the Certificates will qualify as indebtedness secured by the Trust Estate. Each Noteholder, by acceptance of this Note (and each Note Owner by acceptance of a beneficial interest in this Note), agrees to treat this Note for such purposes as indebtedness.

This Note, or any interest herein, may not be transferred to an “employee benefit plan” within the meaning of Section 3(3) of ERISA, a “plan” described in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code, any entity that is deemed to hold “plan assets” of any of the foregoing by reason of an employee benefit plan’s or other plan’s investment in such entity, unless such transferee represents, warrants and covenants that its purchase and holding of such note will not result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code because it will satisfy the requirements of an applicable prohibited transaction exemption and will not cause a non-exempt violation of any applicable law that is substantially similar to ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code. By its acquisition of a Note in book-entry form or any interest therein, each transferee will be deemed to have represented, warranted and covenanted that it satisfies the foregoing requirements and the Indenture Trustee may rely conclusively on the same for purposes hereof.

Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of this Note, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Note (as of the day of determination or as of such other date as may be specified in the Indenture) is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Issuer and the rights of the Holders of the Notes under the Indenture at any time by the Issuer with the consent of the Holders of Notes representing at least a majority of the Outstanding Amount of all Notes at the time Outstanding. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting Holders of Notes representing specified percentages of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes, to waive compliance by the Issuer with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note (or any one or more Predecessor Notes) shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note. The Indenture also permits the Indenture Trustee to amend or waive certain terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture without the consent of Holders of the Notes issued thereunder.

A-1-6

The term “Issuer” as used in this Note includes any successor to the Issuer under the Indenture.

This Note is issuable only in registered form in denominations as provided in the Indenture, subject to certain limitations therein set forth.

This Note and the Indenture shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without reference to its conflict of law provisions other than Sections 5-1401 and 5-1402 of the New York General Obligations Law, and the obligations, rights and remedies of the parties hereunder and thereunder shall be determined in accordance with such laws.

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Note at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency herein prescribed.

Each Noteholder, by acceptance of this Note or a beneficial interest herein, acknowledges and agrees that the purpose of Article XII of the Indenture is to facilitate compliance by the FDIC Rule Parties with the provisions of the FDIC Rule and that the interpretations of the requirements of the FDIC Rule may change over time, whether due to interpretive guidance provided by the FDIC or its staff, consensus among participants in the asset-backed securities markets, advice of counsel, or otherwise, and agrees that the provisions set forth in Article XII of the Indenture shall have the effect and meanings that are appropriate under the FDIC Rule as such effect and meanings change over time on the basis of evolving interpretations of the FDIC Rule.

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, except as expressly provided in the Basic Documents, none of Wilmington Trust, National Association, in its individual capacity, U.S. Bank National Association, in its individual capacity, any owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, the Sellers, the Servicer, or any of their respective partners, beneficiaries, agents, officers, directors, employees or successors or assigns shall be personally liable for, nor shall recourse be had to any of them for, the payment of principal of or interest on this Note or performance of, or omission to perform, any of the covenants, obligations or indemnifications contained in the Indenture. The Holder of this Note by its acceptance hereof agrees that, except as expressly provided in the Basic Documents, in the case of an Event of Default under the Indenture, the Holder shall have no claim against any of the foregoing for any deficiency, loss or claim therefrom; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be taken to prevent recourse to, and enforcement against, the assets of the Issuer for any and all liabilities, obligations and undertakings contained in the Indenture or in this Note.
