With respect to the Series 2023-1 Notes only, the following shall apply:

Section 2.1 Allocations of Net Proceeds with Respect to the Series 2023-1 Notes; Interest Reserve Letter of Credit. On the Series 2023-1 Closing Date, (i) the net proceeds from the issuance and sale of the Series 2023-1 Class A-2 Notes to the Initial Purchaser shall be paid to, or at the direction of, the Co-Issuers and (ii) the Co-Issuers shall ensure that the aggregate sum of (x) all cash on deposit in the Senior Notes Interest Reserve Account (if any) and (y) the aggregate undrawn and unexpired face amount of each Interest Reserve Letter of Credit (if any) is equal to the Senior Notes Interest Reserve Amount.

Section 2.2 Certain Distributions from the Series 2023-1 Distribution Account. On each Quarterly Payment Date, based solely upon the most recent Quarterly Noteholders’ Report, the Trustee shall, in accordance with Section 6.1 of the Base Indenture, remit to the Series 2023-1 Class A-2 Noteholders from the Series 2023-1 Class A-2 Distribution Account, the amounts withdrawn from the Senior Notes Interest Payment Account, Senior Notes Principal Payment Account, Senior Notes Post-ARD Additional Interest Account or otherwise, as applicable, pursuant to Section 5.14(a), (d) or (h) of the Base Indenture, as applicable, or otherwise, and deposited in the Series 2023-1 Class A-2 Distribution Account for the payment of interest and fees and, to the extent applicable, principal or other amounts in respect of the Series 2023-1 Class A-2 Notes on such Quarterly Payment Date.

Section 2.3 Series 2023-1 Class A-2 Interest.

(a) Series 2023-1 Class A-2 Notes Interest. From the Series 2023-1 Closing Date until the Series 2023-1 Class A-2 Outstanding Principal Amount has been paid in full, the Series 2023-1 Class A-2 Outstanding Principal Amount will accrue interest for each Interest Accrual Period (after giving effect to all payments of principal made to Noteholders as of the first day of such Interest Accrual Period, and also giving effect to prepayments, repurchases and cancellations of Series 2023-1 Class A-2 Notes during such Interest Accrual Period) at the Series 2023-1 Class A-2 Note Rate. Such accrued interest will be due and payable in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date, from amounts that are made available for payment thereof (i) on any related Weekly Allocation Date in accordance with the Priority of Payments and (ii) on such Quarterly Payment Date in accordance with Section 5.14 of the Base Indenture, commencing on the Initial Quarterly Payment Date; provided that in any event all accrued but unpaid interest shall be due and payable in full on the Series 2023-1 Legal Final Maturity Date, on any Series 2023-1 Prepayment Date with respect to a prepayment in full or on any other day on which all of the Series 2023-1 Class A-2 Outstanding Principal Amount is required to be paid in full. To the extent any interest accruing at the Series 2023-1 Class A-2 Note Rate is not paid when due, such unpaid interest (net of all Debt Service Advances with respect thereto) will accrue interest at the Series 2023-1 Class A-2 Note Rate. All computations of interest at the Series 2023-1 Class A-2 Note Rate shall be made on a 30/360 Day Basis.

(b) Series 2023-1 Class A-2 Quarterly Post-ARD Additional Interest.

(i) Post-ARD Additional Interest. From and after the Series 2023-1 Anticipated Repayment Date, if the Series 2023-1 Final Payment has not been made, then additional interest will accrue on the Series 2023-1 Class A-2 Outstanding Principal Amount at a per annum rate (the “Series 2023-1 Class A-2 Quarterly Post-ARD Additional Interest Rate”) equal to the greater of (as determined by the Manager): (A) 5.0% and (B) the amount, if any, by which the sum of the following exceeds the Series 2023-1 Class A-2 Note Rate: (x) the yield to maturity (adjusted to a quarterly bond-equivalent basis) on the Series 2023-1 Anticipated Repayment Date of the United States Treasury Security having a term closest to 10 years plus (y) 5.0%, plus (z) 4.24% (such additional interest, the “Series 2023-1 Class A-2 Quarterly Post-ARD Additional Interest”). All computations of Series 2023-1 Class A-2 Quarterly Post-ARD Additional Interest shall be made on a 30/360 Day Basis and will be due and payable on any Quarterly Payment Date to the extent allocated in accordance with the Priority of Payments.

(ii) Payment of Series 2023-1 Class A-2 Quarterly Post-ARD Additional Interest. Any Series 2023-1 Class A-2 Quarterly Post-ARD Additional Interest shall be due and payable on each applicable Quarterly Payment Date from amounts that are made available for payment thereof (i) on any related Weekly Allocation Date in accordance with the Priority of Payments and (ii) on such Quarterly Payment Date in accordance with Section 5.14 of the Base Indenture, in the amount so made available. The failure to pay any Series 2023-1 Class A-2 Quarterly Post-ARD Additional Interest in excess of available amounts in accordance with the foregoing (including on the Series 2023-1 Legal Final Maturity Date) will not be an Event of Default and interest will not accrue on any unpaid portion thereof; provided that in any event all accrued but unpaid Series 2023-1 Class A-2 Quarterly Post-ARD Additional Interest shall be due and payable in full on the Series 2023-1 Legal Final Maturity Date, on any Series 2023-1 Prepayment Date with respect to a prepayment in full of the Series 2023-1 Class A-2 Notes or otherwise as part of any Series 2023-1 Final Payment.

(c) Series 2023-1 Class A-2 Initial Interest Accrual Period. The initial Interest Accrual Period for the Series 2023-1 Class A-2 Notes shall commence on (and include) the Series 2023-1 Closing Date and end on (but exclude) the Initial Quarterly Payment Date.

Section 2.4 Payment of Series 2023-1 Note Principal.

(a) Series 2023-1 Notes Principal Payment at Legal Maturity. The Series 2023-1 Class A-2 Outstanding Principal Amount shall be due and payable in full on the Series 2023-1 Legal Final Maturity Date. The Series 2023-1 Class A-2 Outstanding Principal Amount is not prepayable, in whole or in part, except as set forth in the Base Indenture, this Section 2.4.

(b) Series 2023-1 Anticipated Repayment Date. The Series 2023-1 Final Payment Date is anticipated to occur, for the Series 2023-1 Class A-2 Notes, on the Quarterly Payment Date occurring in June 2029 (the “Series 2023-1 Anticipated Repayment Date”).

(c) Payment of Series 2023-1 Class A-2 Notes Scheduled Principal Payment Amounts. Series 2023-1 Class A-2 Notes Scheduled Principal Payment Amounts will be due and payable on each applicable Quarterly Payment Date, commencing with the Quarterly Payment Date occurring on June 5, 2023 and prior to the Series 2023-1 Anticipated Repayment Date, in accordance with Section 5.14 of the Base Indenture, to the extent of available funds allocated in respect thereof in accordance with the Priority of Payments, and failure to pay any Series 2023-1 Class A-2 Notes Scheduled Principal Payment Amounts in excess of available amounts in accordance with the foregoing will not be an Event of Default; provided that (A) Series 2023-1 Class A-2 Notes Scheduled Principal Payment Amounts shall only be due and payable on a Quarterly Payment Date if the Series 2023-1 Class A-2 Non-Amortization Test is not satisfied with respect to the Non-Amortization Test Date (and, for the avoidance of doubt, any such Series 2023-1 Class A-2 Notes Scheduled Principal Payment Amounts that are not due and payable due to the satisfaction of the Series 2023-1 Class A-2 Non-Amortization Test with respect to such Quarterly Payment Date shall not become due and payable if the Series 2023-1 Class A-2 Non-Amortization Test is subsequently not satisfied); and (B) if the Series 2023-1 Class A-2 Non-Amortization Test is satisfied on a Non-Amortization Test Date on which Series 2023-1 Class A-2 Notes Scheduled Principal Payment Amounts would otherwise be due and payable, the Co-Issuers (or the Manager acting on their behalf) may elect in their sole discretion to make one or more Series 2023-1 Class A-2 Optional Scheduled Principal Payments on such Quarterly Payment Date by indicating such election in the related Quarterly Noteholder’s Report.

(d) Certain Series 2023-1 Notes Mandatory Payments of Principal. During any Rapid Amortization Period, principal payments shall be due and payable on each Quarterly Payment Date on the applicable Classes of Series 2023-1 Notes as and when amounts are made available for payment thereof (i) on any related Weekly Allocation Date, in accordance with the Priority of Payments and (ii) on such Quarterly Payment Date in accordance with Section 5.14 of the Base Indenture, in the amount so made available, together with any Series 2023-1 Class A-2 Make-Whole Prepayment Consideration required to be paid in connection therewith pursuant to Section 2.4(e); provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that it shall not constitute an Event of Default if any such Series 2023-1 Class A-2 Make-Whole Prepayment Consideration is not paid because insufficient funds are available to pay such Series 2023-1 Class A-2 Make-Whole Prepayment Consideration, in accordance with the Priority of Payments. Such payments shall be ratably allocated among the Series 2023-1 Noteholders within each applicable Class based on their respective portion of the Series 2023-1 Class A-2 Outstanding Principal Amount of such Class.

(e) Series 2023-1 Class A-2 Make-Whole Prepayment Consideration Payments. Subject to the following two paragraphs, in connection with (A) any mandatory prepayment made during a Rapid Amortization Period pursuant to Section 2.4(d)(i), (B) any mandatory prepayment made with any Asset Disposition Proceeds pursuant to Section 2.4(k), (C) any optional prepayment made pursuant to Section 2.4(f) (each, a “Series 2023-1 Class A-2 Prepayment”, and if made prior to the applicable Prepayment Consideration End Date, a “Make-Whole Series 2023-1 Class A-2 Prepayment”), the Co-Issuers shall pay, in the manner described herein, the Series 2023-1 Class A-2 Make-Whole Prepayment Consideration to the Series 2023-1 Noteholders with respect to the principal portion of the Series 2023-1 Prepayment Amount; provided that no Series 2023-1 Class A-2 Make-Whole Prepayment Consideration shall be payable in connection with any of the following, which shall not be “Make-Whole Series 2023-1 Class A-2 Prepayments”: (i) prepayments arising from the receipt of Indemnification Amounts or Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds, (ii) payments of Series 2023-1 Class A-2 Notes Scheduled Principal Payment Amounts, Series 2023-1 Class A-2 Optional Scheduled Principal Payments, and Series 2023-1 Class A-2 Notes Scheduled Principal Payment Deficiency Amounts or prepayments made in respect of (x) prior to the Springing Amendments Implementation Date, a Cash Flow Sweeping Event, and (y) on and after the Springing Amendments Implementation Date, a Cash Trapping Event and (iii) any prepayment of the Series 2023-1 Class A-2 Notes made on or after the Quarterly Payment Date in the Target Month; provided, further, for the avoidance of doubt, that the failure to pay any Series 2023-1 Class A-2 Make-Whole Prepayment Consideration on any Quarterly Payment Date (other than the Series 2023-1 Legal Final Maturity Date and any other date on which the Series 2023-1 Class A-2 Notes must be paid in full) shall not constitute an Event of Default.

(f) Optional Prepayment of Series 2023-1 Class A-2 Notes. Subject to Section 2.4(e) and Section 2.4(g), the Co-Issuers shall have the option to prepay (including with the proceeds of equity contributions) the Outstanding Principal Amount of the Series 2023-1 Class A-2 Notes (including, on and after the Springing Amendments Implementation Date, optional prepayments from the Cash Trap Reserve Account) in whole or in part on any Business Day that is specified as the Series 2023-1 Prepayment Date in the applicable Prepayment Notice (each, an “Optional Prepayment Date”); provided that no such optional prepayment may be made unless the following conditions shall be satisfied:

(i) the Co-Issuers shall be required to give notice of their election to prepay to the Trustee, the affected Noteholders, the Rating Agencies, and the Servicer at least five (5) but no more than twenty (20) Business Days prior to the Optional Prepayment Date;

(ii) in the case of a prepayment in part:

(A) the amount on deposit in the Series 2023-1 Class A-2 Distribution Account is sufficient to pay the principal amount to be prepaid and any Series 2023-1 Class A-2 Make-Whole Prepayment Consideration required pursuant to Section 2.4(e);

(B) the amount on deposit in, or allocable to, the Series 2023-1 Distribution Account to be distributed on the Quarterly Payment Date which coincides with, or immediately follows, such Optional Prepayment Date, as the case may be, are sufficient to pay (in addition to the amounts described in clause (i)(A)) the Prepayment Condition Amounts on such Quarterly Payment Date; and

(C) if such prepayment is not made on a Quarterly Payment Date, the amounts on deposit in the Senior Notes Interest Payment Account allocable to the Series 2023-1 Class A-2 Notes, or other available amounts, are sufficient to pay accrued interest on the principal amount to be prepaid in respect of the period prior to such Optional Prepayment Date; and

(iii) in the case of an optional prepayment in whole:

(A) the amounts on deposit in the Indenture Trust Accounts or other available amounts, in each case allocable to, the Series 2023-1 Class A-2 Notes are sufficient to pay all monetary Obligations (including unreimbursed Advances with interest thereon at the Advance Interest Rate) in respect of the Series 2023-1 Class A-2 Notes set forth in the Priority of Payments after giving effect to the applicable allocations set forth therein on such Optional Prepayment Date, including unpaid interest accrued in respect of the period prior to such Optional Prepayment Date and any Prepayment Premium to be paid on such date, and

(B) the amounts on deposit in the Collection Account, the Indenture Trust Accounts or otherwise available are reasonably expected by the Manager to be sufficient to pay the Prepayment Condition Amounts, other than with respect to the Series 2023-1 Class A-1 Notes, on the immediately following Quarterly Payment Date, if any, or are sufficient to pay such amounts on such Optional Prepayment Date, if such date is a Quarterly Payment Date,

or, in each case, any shortfalls in such amounts shall be required to be deposited to the applicable accounts.

The Co-Issuers may prepay the Outstanding Principal Amount of the Series 2023-1 Class A-2 Notes in whole or in part on any Business Day, subject to the payment of the Series 2023-1 Class A-2 Make-Whole Prepayment Consideration to the extent applicable to the Series 2023-1 Class A-2 Notes. The Co-Issuers may prepay in full at any time regardless of the number of prior optional prepayments or any minimum payment requirement. An Optional Prepayment in part of the Series 2023-1 Class A-2 Notes on any Optional Prepayment Date that is not a Quarterly Payment Date shall be made in an amount equal to at least $5,000,000 (or such lesser amount (i) if effected on the same day as any partial mandatory prepayment or repayment or (ii) that is the remaining Outstanding Principal Amount of the Series 2023-1 Class A-2 Notes).

(g) Notices of Prepayments.

(i) The Co-Issuers shall give prior written notice (each, a “Prepayment Notice”) at least five (5) Business Days but not more than twenty (20) Business Days prior to any Series 2023-1 Prepayment with respect to the Series 2023-1 Class A-2 Notes pursuant to Section 2.4(f) to each Series 2023-1 Noteholder affected by such Series 2023-1 Prepayment, each of the Rating Agencies, the Trustee and the Servicer; provided that at the request of the Co-Issuers, such notice to the affected Series 2023-1 Noteholders shall be given by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Co-Issuers.

(iii) Any such optional prepayment and Prepayment Notice may, in the Co-Issuers’ discretion, be subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, including but not limited to the occurrence of a Change of Control or refinancing. The Co-Issuers shall have the option to provide in any Prepayment Notice that the payment of the amounts set forth in Section 2.4(f) and the performance of the Co-Issuers’ obligations with respect to such optional prepayment may be performed by another Person.

(iv) The Co-Issuers shall have the option, by written notice to the Trustee, the Control Party, the Rating Agencies and the affected Noteholders, to revoke, or amend the Series 2023-1 Prepayment Date set forth in, any Prepayment Notice relating to an optional prepayment at any time up to the second Business Day before the Series 2023-1 Prepayment Date set forth in such Prepayment Notice; provided that at the request of the Co-Issuers, such notice to the affected Series 2023-1 Noteholders shall be given by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Co-Issuers.

Subject to Section 2.4(g), on each Series 2023-1 Prepayment Date with respect to any Series 2023-1 Prepayment, the Series 2023-1 Prepayment Amount, the Series 2023-1 Class A-2 Make-Whole Prepayment Consideration, if any, shall be due and payable (without duplication of any components of such the Series 2023-1 Prepayment Amount due and payable on such Series 2023-1 Prepayment Date).

(i) Distributions of Optional Prepayments of Series 2023-1 Class A-2 Notes.

(i) No later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Series 2023-1 Prepayment Date for each Series 2023-1 Prepayment to be made pursuant to Section 2.4(f) in respect of the Series 2023-1 Class A-2 Notes, the Co-Issuers shall provide the Trustee with a written report instructing the Trustee to deposit the amounts set forth in such report (which shall include such amounts set forth in Section 2.4(f)(ii)(C) or Section 2.4(f)(iii)(A) (after giving effect to the deposit set forth in Section 2.4(i)(iii)), as applicable), and in each case due and payable to the Series 2023-1 Noteholders on such Series 2023-1 Prepayment Date, to the Series 2023-1 Class A-2 Distribution Account and thereafter apply the amounts on deposit therein in accordance with this Section 2.4(i).
