Regular meetings of the Board may be held without notice at such time and at such place as shall from time to time be determined by the Board. Special meetings of the Board may be called by any Regular Trustee on not less than one day’s notice to each Regular Trustee by telephone, facsimile, mail, telegram or any other means of communication, and special meetings shall be called in like manner and with like notice upon the written request of any one or more of the Regular Trustees.

(e) At all meetings of the Board, a majority of the Regular Trustees shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business and, except as otherwise provided in any other provision of this Agreement, the act of a majority of the Regular Trustees present at any meeting at which there is a quorum shall be the act of the Board. If a quorum shall not be present at any meeting of the Board, the Regular Trustees present at such meeting may adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present. Any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board or of any committee thereof may be taken without a meeting if all members of the Board or committee, as the case may be, consent thereto in writing, and the writing or writings are filed with the minutes of proceedings of the Board or committee, as the case may be.

Any such committee, to the extent provided in the resolution of the Board, shall have and may exercise all the powers and authority of the Board in the management of the business and affairs of the Trust. Such committee or committees shall have such name or names as may be determined from time to time by resolution adopted by the Board. Each committee shall keep regular minutes of its meetings and report the same to the Board when required.

(h) The Board shall have the authority to fix the compensation of Regular Trustees. The Regular Trustees may be paid their expenses, if any, of attendance at meetings of the Board, which may be a fixed sum for attendance at each meeting of the Board or a stated salary as Regular Trustee. No such payment shall preclude any Regular Trustee from serving the Trust in any other capacity and receiving compensation therefor. Members of special or standing committees may be allowed like compensation for attending committee meetings.

(i) Unless otherwise restricted by law, any Regular Trustee or the entire Board may be removed or expelled, with or without cause, at any time by the Majority Certificateholders, and,

subject to Section 2.1(j), any vacancy caused by any such removal or expulsion may be filled by action of the Majority Certificateholders.

(j) As long as any Notes are outstanding, the Majority Certificateholders shall cause the Trust at all times to have at least two Independent Trustees who will be appointed by the Majority Certificateholders. The Independent Trustees shall not delegate their duties, authorities or responsibilities hereunder. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Independent Trustees shall consider only the interests of the Trust, including its respective creditors, and not its Affiliates, in acting or otherwise voting on the matters hereunder; provided, however, that nothing contained in this sentence or elsewhere in this Agreement shall in any way restrict the Trust’s ability to make distributions to the extent such distributions are provided for in or otherwise not prohibited by the Statutory Trust Act or the Basic Documents. As long as the Indenture has not been terminated in accordance with its terms, unless otherwise restricted by law, no resignation or removal of an Independent Trustee, and no appointment of a successor Independent Trustee, shall be effective until such successor shall have accepted his or her appointment as an Independent Trustee by a written instrument. In the event of a vacancy in the position of Independent Trustee, the Majority Certificateholders shall, as soon as practicable, appoint a successor Independent Trustee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no Independent Trustee shall be removed or replaced unless the Trust provides the Trust Collateral Agent with no less than five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice of (a) any proposed removal of such Independent Trustee, and (b) the identity of the proposed replacement Independent Trustee, together with a certification that such replacement satisfies the requirements for an Independent Trustee set forth in this Agreement; provided, however, that such five Business Day prior notice requirement shall not apply in the event of the disability, incapacity or death of an Independent Trustee. As a condition to the effectiveness of any such replacement or appointment, the Majority Certificateholders shall certify to the Trust that the designated Person satisfied the criteria set forth in the definition of “Independent Trustee” and the Board shall acknowledge in writing, that in the Board’s reasonable judgment, the designated Person satisfies the criteria set forth in the definition of “Independent Trustee.” All right, power and authority of the Independent Trustees shall be limited to the extent necessary to exercise those rights and perform those duties specifically set forth in this Agreement. No Independent Trustee shall at any time serve as trustee in bankruptcy for any Affiliate of the Trust.

(k) No Regular Trustee shall be liable to the Trust or any other Person who has an interest in or claim against the Trust for any loss, damage or claim incurred by reason of any act or omission performed or omitted by such Regular Trustee in good faith on behalf of the Trust and in a manner reasonably believed to be within the scope of the authority conferred on such Regular Trustee by this Agreement, except that a Regular Trustee shall be liable for any such loss, damage or claim incurred by reason of such Regular Trustee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(1) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, a Regular Trustee shall be entitled to indemnification from the Trust for any loss, damage or claim incurred by such Regular

Trustee by reason of any act or omission performed or omitted by such Regular Trustee in good faith on behalf of the Trust and in a manner reasonably believed to be within the scope of the authority conferred on such Regular Trustee by this Agreement, except that no Regular Trustee shall be entitled to be indemnified in respect of any loss, damage or claim incurred by such Regular Trustee by reason of such Regular Trustee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct with respect to such acts or omissions; provided, however, that any indemnity under this Section 2.1(k) by the Trust shall be provided out of and to the extent of Trust assets only, and the Certificateholders shall not have personal liability on account thereof; and provided further, that no indemnity payment from funds of the Trust (as distinct from funds from other sources, such as insurance) of any indemnity under this Section shall be payable until the Notes have been paid in full pursuant to the Basic Documents.

(2) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, expenses (including legal fees) incurred by a Regular Trustee defending any claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding shall, from time to time, subject to the provisos in Section 2.1(k)(1) above, be advanced by the Trust prior to the final disposition of such claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding upon receipt by the Trust of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Regular Trustee to repay such amount if it shall be determined that the Regular Trustee is not entitled to be indemnified as authorized in this Section.

(3) A Regular Trustee shall be fully protected in relying in good faith upon the records of the Trust and upon such information, opinions, reports or statements presented to the Trust by any Person as to matters the Regular Trustee reasonably believes are within such other Person’s professional or expert competence and who has been selected with reasonable care by or on behalf of the Trust, including information, opinions, reports or statements as to the value and amount of the assets, liabilities, or any other facts pertinent to the existence and amount of assets from which distributions to the Certificateholders might properly be paid.

(4) To the extent that, at law or in equity, a Regular Trustee has duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities relating thereto to the Trust or to any other Regular Trustee, a Regular Trustee acting under this Agreement shall not be liable to the Trust or to any other Regular Trustee for his or her good faith reliance on the provisions of this Agreement or any approval or authorization granted by the Trust or any other Regular Trustee. The provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they restrict the duties and liabilities of a Regular Trustee otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by each Certificateholder to replace such other duties and liabilities of such Regular Trustee.

(5) The foregoing provisions of this Section shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

(b) Due Qualification. The Seller is duly qualified to do business as a limited liability company in good standing, and has obtained all necessary licenses and approvals, in all jurisdictions in which the ownership or lease of its property, the conduct of its business and the performance of its obligations under this Agreement and the other Basic Documents requires such qualification.

(c) Power and Authority. The Seller has the power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and the other Basic Documents to which it is a party and to carry out their respective terms; the Seller has full power and authority to sell and assign the property to be sold and assigned to and deposited with the Trust and the Seller has duly authorized such sale and assignment and deposit to the Trust by all necessary action; and the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Basic Documents to which it is a party have been duly authorized by the Seller by all necessary action.

(d) Enforceability. The Seller has duly executed and delivered this Agreement and the other Basic Documents to which it is a party and this Agreement and the other Basic Documents to which it is a party constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Seller, enforceable against Seller in accordance with their terms, and subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization and similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to creditors’ rights generally or the rights of creditors of banks the deposit accounts of which are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and subject to general principles of equity (whether applied in a proceeding at law or in equity).

(e) No Consent Required. No consent, license, approval or authorization or registration or declaration with, any Person or with any governmental authority, bureau or agency is

(f) No Violation. The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Basic Documents to which it is a party and the fulfillment of the terms hereof and thereof do not conflict with, result in any breach of any of the terms and provisions of, or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time) a default under, the certificate of formation or the limited liability company agreement of the Seller, or any material indenture, agreement or other instrument to which the Seller is a party or by which it is bound; nor result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any of its properties pursuant to the terms of any such indenture, agreement or other instrument (other than pursuant to the Basic Documents); nor violate any law or any order, rule or regulation applicable to the Seller of any court or of any federal or state regulatory body, administrative agency or other governmental instrumentality having jurisdiction over the Seller or its properties.

SECTION 2.11 Federal Income Tax Treatment of the Trust.

(a) The Certificateholders acknowledge that it is their intention and that they understand that it is the intention of the Seller and the Servicer that, for purposes of U.S. federal income, state and local income and franchise tax and any other income taxes, for so long as the Trust has no equity owner other than the Seller (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes), the Trust will be treated as an entity disregarded as separate from its owner and that, if the Trust has more than one equity owner (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes), the Trust will be treated as a partnership, the equity owners will be the partners in the partnership, and the partnership will not be an association or publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation. The Seller and the other Certificateholders, by acceptance of a Certificate, agree to such treatment and agree to take no action inconsistent with such treatment.

(b) In the event that the Trust is classified as a partnership for federal income tax purposes, beginning with each taxable year after December 31, 2017, or if later, the date that the New Partnership Audit Procedures apply to the Trust, the Seller (or a U.S. Affiliate of the Seller if the Seller

is ineligible) is hereby designated as the partnership representative under Section 6223(a) of the Code to the extent allowed under the law. The Trust shall, to the extent eligible, make the election under Section 6221(b) of the Code with respect to determinations of adjustments at the partnership level and take any other action such as filings, disclosures and notifications necessary to effectuate such election. If the election described in the preceding sentence is not available, the Trust shall, to the extent eligible, make the election under Section 6226(a) of the Code with respect to the alternative to payment of imputed underpayments by a partnership and take any other action such as filings, disclosures and notifications necessary to effectuate such election. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of the Trust, the Seller and the Servicer are authorized, in its sole discretion, to make with respect to the Trust any available election related to Sections 6221 through 6241 of the Code and take any action it deems necessary or appropriate to comply with the requirements of the Code and conduct the Trust’s affairs under Sections 6221 through 6241 of the Code.

(c) No Person (including, without limitation, any Certificateholder, the Board, the Owner Trustee, and the Seller) shall have the power to make an election (including an election under Treasury Regulations Section 301.7701-3(c)) to treat the Trust as an association taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

(d) For each taxable year (or portion thereof), other than periods in which there is only one Certificateholder, all remaining net income or net loss, as the case may be, of the Trust for such year (or other period) as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes (and each item of income, gain, credit, loss or deduction entering into the computation thereof) shall be allocated to the Certificateholders pro rata in accordance with the outstanding principal balances of their respective Certificates.

(e) The Board is authorized to modify the allocations in this Section if necessary or appropriate, in its sole discretion, for the allocations to fairly reflect the economic income, gain or loss to the Seller or the Certificateholders or as otherwise required by the Code.

ARTICLE III

Certificates and Transfer of Interests

SECTION 3.1 Initial Ownership.

Effective upon the formation of the Trust by the contribution by the Seller pursuant to Section 2.5, the Seller shall be deemed to have acquired and to have become the owner of a 100% equity interest in the Trust and at all times prior to the issuance of any Certificates pursuant to Section 3.3 shall be the sole beneficial owner and beneficiary of the Trust.

SECTION 3.2 The Certificates.

(a) The Certificates and the interests represented by the Certificates are hereby deemed to be “securities” under Article 8 of the UCC and shall be governed by Article 8 of the UCC. The Certificates shall be executed on behalf of the Trust by manual or facsimile signature of an authorized officer of the Owner Trustee. Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were, at the time when such signatures shall have been affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of the Trust, shall be validly issued and entitled to the benefit of this Agreement, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them shall have ceased to be so authorized prior to the authentication and delivery of such Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of authentication and delivery of such Certificates.

(b) No Certificate may be sold, transferred, assigned, participated, pledged, or otherwise disposed of (any such act, a “Transfer”) to any Person if such Transfer would cause the number of Targeted Holders to exceed ninety-five.

(c) No Certificate may be Transferred to any Person except in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.4, and any attempted Transfer in violation of this Section or Section 3.4 shall be null and void ab initio. If Transfer of the Certificates is permitted pursuant to this Section 3.2 and Section 3.4, a transferee of a Certificate shall become a Certificateholder, and shall be entitled to the rights and subject to the obligations of a Certificateholder hereunder upon such transferee’s acceptance of a Certificate duly registered in such transferee’s name pursuant to Section 3.4.

SECTION 3.3 Authentication of Certificates.

Concurrently with the initial sale of the Loans and other Trust Property to the Trust pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Owner Trustee shall cause one or more Certificates having the respective Percentage Interests (in the aggregate not to exceed 100%) specified in writing by the Board to be authenticated, issued and delivered to or upon the written order of the Board, signed by its president or any vice president, any assistant treasurer or any assistant secretary without further action by the Board. No Certificate shall entitle its holder to any benefit under this Agreement, or shall be valid for any purpose, unless there shall appear on such Certificate a certificate of authentication substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A, executed by the Owner Trustee, by manual signature; such authentication shall constitute conclusive evidence that such Certificate shall have been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. All Certificates shall be dated the date of their authentication.

SECTION 3.4 Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates.

(a) The Certificate Registrar shall keep or cause to be kept, at the office or agency maintained pursuant to this Section 3.4(a), a Certificate Register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Certificate Registrar shall provide for the registration of Certificates and of Transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided. The Indenture Trustee shall be the Certificate Registrar. No Transfer of a Certificate shall be recognized except upon registration of such Transfer in the Certificate Register. Promptly upon the Owner Trustee’s request therefor, (a) the Certificate Registrar shall provide to the Board and the Owner Trustee a true and complete copy of the Certificate Register, and (b) the Certificate Registrar shall provide to the Board and the Owner Trustee such information regarding the Certificates and the Certificateholders as is reasonably available to the Certificate Registrar.

(b) The Certificate Registrar shall provide the Trust Collateral Agent with a list of the names and addresses of the Certificateholders on the Closing Date, to the extent such information has been provided to the Certificate Registrar and in the form provided to the Certificate Registrar on such date. Upon any Transfers of Certificates, the Certificate Registrar shall notify the Trust Collateral Agent of the name and address of the transferee in writing, by facsimile, on the day of such Transfer.

(c) Upon surrender for registration of Transfer of any Certificate at the office of the Certificate Registrar maintained in the city of Minneapolis, Minnesota, the Owner Trustee shall execute, authenticate and deliver (or shall cause the Indenture Trustee as its authenticating agent to authenticate and deliver), in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations of a like class and aggregate face amount dated the date of authentication by the Owner Trustee (or by the Indenture Trustee as its authenticating agent) or any authenticating agent. At the option of a Holder, Certificates may be exchanged for other Certificates of the same class in

authorized denominations of a like aggregate amount upon surrender of the Certificates to be exchanged at the office of the Certificate Registrar maintained in the city of Minneapolis, Minnesota.

(d) Every Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of Transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by: (i) a written instrument of Transfer in form satisfactory to the Owner Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Certificateholder or his attorney duly authorized in writing, with such signature guaranteed by an “eligible guarantor institution” meeting the requirements of the Certificate 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 Certificate Registrar in addition to, or in substitution for, STAMP; and (ii) an Opinion of Counsel that the Transfer or exchange of such Certificate would not cause the Trust to be treated as an association or a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation. Each Certificate surrendered for registration of Transfer or exchange shall be canceled and subsequently disposed of by the Certificate Registrar in accordance with its customary practice.

(e) Any Person acquiring any interest in a Certificate will furnish to the Person from whom it is acquiring such interest, the Trust, the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee, a properly executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (and will furnish a new Form W-9, or any successor applicable form, upon the expiration or obsolescence of any previously delivered form) and such other certifications, representations or Opinions of Counsel as may be requested by the Owner Trustee.

(f) No service charge shall be made for any registration of Transfer or exchange of Certificates, but the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any Transfer or exchange of Certificates.

(g) The Certificates have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities law. Subject to the provisions of Section 3.1 hereof, the Certificate Registrar shall not register the Transfer of any Certificate or unless such resale or Transfer is: (i) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act; (ii) to the Seller; or (iii) unless it shall have received a representation letter or such other representations and an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Board or the Owner Trustee to the effect that such resale or Transfer is made (A) in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, or (B) to a person who the transferor of the Certificate reasonably believes is a “qualified institutional buyer” (within the meaning of Rule 144A under the Securities Act) that is aware that such resale or other Transfer is being made in reliance upon Rule 144A. Until the earlier of (i) such time as the Certificates shall be registered pursuant to a registration statement filed under the Securities Act and (ii) the date three years from the later of the date of the original authentication and delivery of the Certificates and the date any Certificate was acquired from the Seller or any affiliate of the Seller, the Certificates shall bear a legend substantially to the effect set forth in the preceding two sentences. Neither the Seller, the Servicer, the Trust nor the Owner Trustee is obligated to register the Certificates under the Securities Act or to take any other

action not otherwise required under this Agreement to permit the Transfer of Certificates without registration.

(h) The provisions of this Section 3.4 and of this Agreement generally are intended to prevent the Trust from being characterized as a “publicly traded partnership” within the meaning of Section 7704 of the Code, in reliance on Treasury Regulations Section 1.7704-1(e) and (h), and the Certificateholders shall take such intent into account in requesting the Transfer of any Certificate.

(i) No Certificate may be sold, participated, transferred, assigned, exchanged or otherwise pledged or conveyed in whole or in part unless the Person that acquires the Certificate represents that:

(1) it is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, either (a) a citizen or resident of the United States, (b) a corporation or partnership organized in or under the laws of the United States or any state thereof or the District of Columbia which, if such entity is a tax-exempt entity, recognizes that payments with respect to the Certificate may constitute unrelated business taxable income, (c) an estate the income of which is includible in gross income for U.S. federal income tax purposes regardless of its source, or (d) either (x) a trust for which a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over its administration and for which one or more persons described in this paragraph are able to control all substantial decisions or (y) a trust for which a valid election has been made to be treated as a United States person;

(2) it has not acquired and it will not transfer any interest in the Certificate, or cause an interest in the Certificate to be marketed, on or through an “established securities market” within the meaning of Section 7704(b)(1) of the Code and any Treasury regulations thereunder, including, without limitation, an over the counter market or an interdealer quotation system that regularly disseminates firm buy or sell quotations;

(3) (a) it is not and will not become (and, if it is disregarded as an entity separate from its owner within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 301.7701-3(a) (a “DRE”), its owner is not and will not become), for so long as it holds an interest in the Certificate, a partnership, Subchapter S corporation or grantor trust for U.S. federal income tax purposes (a “Flow-Thru Entity”); or (b) if it (or, if it is a DRE, its owner) is, or becomes, a Flow-Thru Entity, for so long as it (or, if it is a DRE, its owner) is a Flow-Thru Entity and it holds an interest in the Certificate, not more than 50% of the value of any interests in it (or, if it is a DRE, its owner) will be attributable to interests in the Trust held by it;

(4) it understands that a subsequent Transfer of the Certificate will be null and void ab initio if such Transfer would cause the number of Targeted Holders to exceed ninety-five; and

(5) it understands that the Opinion of Counsel that the Trust is not a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation is dependent in part on the accuracy of the representations in this Section 3.4(i).

(j) Unless (1) the Owner Trustee has received an Opinion of Counsel from Skadden, Arps, Slate, Xxxxxxx & Xxxx LLP or another nationally recognized tax counsel selected by a Certificateholder that the restriction on the proposed acquisition of a Certificate (or any interest therein) described by this subsection is no longer necessary to conclude that any such acquisition (and subsequent resale of the applicable Notes described below) will not cause the Treasury Regulations under Section 385 of the Code to apply to such Notes in a manner that could cause a material adverse effect on the Trust or the Trust to be treated as an association or publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes or (2) the Treasury Regulations under Section 385 of the Code are repealed and not replaced with proposed, temporary or final Treasury Regulations that (as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel from a nationally recognized tax counsel) could affect the classification of the Notes as debt for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (i) a Section 385 Certificateholder cannot acquire a Certificate (or any interest therein) if (A) a member of any “expanded group” (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.385-1(c)(4)) that includes such Section 385 Certificateholder owns any Notes or (B) a Section 385 Controlled Partnership of such expanded group owns any Notes and (ii) a Section 385 Certificateholder cannot hold a Certificate (or any interest therein) if (A) a member of any “expanded group” (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.385-1(c)(4)) that includes such Section 385 Certificateholder acquires any Notes from the Trust, any Affiliate of the Trust or any other subsequent transferor of a Note or (B) a Section 385 Controlled Partnership of such expanded group acquires any Notes from the Trust, any Affiliate of the Trust or any other subsequent transferor of a Note. The preceding sentence shall not apply if the Noteholder or potential Noteholder is a U.S. corporate member of the same U.S. corporate “affiliated group” (as defined in Section 1504 of the Code) filing a consolidated federal income tax return that includes each of any applicable related Section 385 Certificateholders (including in the case of a partnership, the relevant “expanded group partner” (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.385-3(g)(12)). If a Certificateholder (or holder of an interest in a Certificate) fails to comply with the foregoing requirements, the Trust and Owner Trustee are authorized, at their discretion, to compel such Certificateholder (or holder of an interest in a Certificate) to sell its Certificate (or interest therein) to a Person whose ownership complies with this subsection so long as such sale does not otherwise cause a material adverse effect on the Trust or cause the Trust to be treated as an association or publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

SECTION 3.5 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.

If (a) any mutilated Certificate shall be surrendered to the Certificate Registrar, or if the Certificate Registrar shall receive evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate, and (b) there shall be delivered to the Certificate Registrar, the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee, such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, then in the absence of notice that such Certificate shall have been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall execute and the Owner Trustee shall authenticate and deliver (or shall cause the Indenture Trustee as its authenticating agent to authenticate and deliver), in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like class, tenor and denomination. In connection with the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section, the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith. Any duplicate Certificate issued pursuant to this Section shall constitute conclusive evidence of an ownership interest in the Trust, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.

SECTION 3.6 Persons Deemed Certificateholders.

The Owner Trustee is authorized and directed to execute and deliver on behalf of the Trust the Basic Documents to which the Trust is named as a party and each certificate or other document attached as an exhibit to or contemplated by the Basic Documents to which the Trust is named as a

party and any amendment thereto, in each case, in such form as the Board shall approve as evidenced conclusively by the Owner Trustee’s execution thereof, and on behalf of the Trust, to direct the Indenture Trustee to authenticate and deliver the Class A Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $233,600,000, the Class B Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $62,800,000 and the Class C Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $53,600,00, and to authorize the filing of a financing statement in favor of the Indenture Trustee describing the Collateral as “all assets of the Debtor” or words of similar import.

The Owner Trustee is further authorized from time to time to take such action as the Instructing Party (as defined in Section 6.3) shall direct in writing with respect to the Basic Documents so long as such activities are consistent with the terms of the Basic Documents. The Instructing Party hereby agrees not to instruct the Owner Trustee to take any action which is inconsistent with or in violation of the terms of the Basic Documents, except that the Instructing Party may instruct the Owner Trustee to waive notice periods set forth herein or in the other Basic Documents provided that the party or parties entitled to receive such notice consents to such waiver or join in such instruction.

SECTION 6.2 General Duties.

It shall be the duty of the Owner Trustee to: (a) discharge (or cause to be discharged) all of its responsibilities pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and to administer the Trust in the interest of the Holders, subject to the Basic Documents and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement; and (b) to obtain and preserve the Trust’s qualification to do business in each jurisdiction in which, based upon the advice of the Board or the Servicer, such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of the Basic Documents and related instruments and agreements, the Notes and the Trust Property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and in furtherance and not in limitation of Section 7.1(f), the Owner Trustee shall be deemed to have discharged its duties and responsibilities hereunder and under the Basic Documents: (i) to the extent the Servicer, or Credit Acceptance if Credit Acceptance is no longer the Servicer, has agreed in the Sale and Servicing Agreement, hereunder or otherwise to perform any act or to discharge any duty of the Owner Trustee or the Trust hereunder or under any Basic Document, and the Owner Trustee shall not be liable for the default or failure of the Servicer or Credit Acceptance to carry out its obligations under the Sale and Servicing Agreement or such other document; or (ii) to the extent that Owner Trustee has contracted with a third party to discharge such duties and responsibilities.

SECTION 6.3 Action upon Instruction.

(a) Subject to Article IV, and except as provided in the last sentence of this paragraph, the Board of Trustees (the “Instructing Party”) shall have the exclusive right to direct the actions of the Owner Trustee in the management of the Trust, so long as such instructions are not inconsistent with

the express terms set forth herein or in any other Basic Document. The Instructing Party shall not instruct the Owner Trustee in a manner inconsistent with this Agreement or the other Basic Documents, except that the Instructing Party may instruct the Owner Trustee to waive notice periods set forth herein or in the other Basic Documents provided that the party or parties entitled to receive such notice consents to such waiver or join in such instruction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in connection with the dissolution and winding up of the Trust following payment in full of the Notes or other liquidation or final settlement of the last outstanding Loan (including the purchase by the Servicer at its option of the corpus of the Trust as described in Section 10.01(a) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement) and the subsequent distribution of all amounts in respect of such Loans as provided in the Basic Documents and the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture pursuant to Section 9.1(a), the Certificateholders may be the Instructing Party. To the extent the Owner Trustee acts in good faith in accordance with any written instruction of the Instructing Party received by it, the Owner Trustee shall not be liable on account of such action to any Person.

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

(c) Whenever the Owner Trustee is unable to decide between alternative courses of action permitted or required by the terms of this Agreement or any Basic Document, the Owner Trustee shall promptly give notice (in such form as shall be appropriate under the circumstances) to the Instructing Party requesting instruction as to the course of action to be adopted, and to the extent the Owner Trustee acts in good faith in accordance with any written instruction of the Instructing Party received, the Owner Trustee shall not be liable on account of such action to any Person. If the Owner Trustee shall not have received appropriate instruction within ten (10) days of such notice (or within such shorter period of time as reasonably may be specified in such notice or may be necessary under the circumstances) it may, but shall be under no duty to, take or refrain from taking such action, not inconsistent with this Agreement or the other Basic Documents, as it shall deem to be in the best interests of the Certificateholders, and shall have no liability to any Person for such action or inaction absent gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(d) In the event that the Owner Trustee is unsure as to the application of any provision of this Agreement or any other Basic Document or any such provision is ambiguous as to its application, or is, or appears to be, in conflict with any other applicable provision, or in the event that this Agreement permits any determination by the Owner Trustee or is silent or is incomplete as to the course of action that the Owner Trustee is required to take with respect to a particular set of facts, the Owner Trustee may give notice (in such form as shall be appropriate under the circumstances) to the Instructing Party and, to the extent that the Owner Trustee acts or refrains from acting in good faith in accordance with any such instruction received, the Owner Trustee shall not be liable, on account of such action or inaction, to any Person. If the Owner Trustee shall not have received appropriate instruction within

ten (10) days of such notice (or within such shorter period of time as reasonably may be specified in such notice or may be necessary under the circumstances) it may, but shall be under no duty to, take or refrain from taking such action, not inconsistent with this Agreement or the other Basic Documents, as it shall deem to be in the best interests of the Certificateholders, and shall have no liability to any Person for such action or inaction, absent gross negligence or willful misconduct.

SECTION 6.4 No Duties Except as Specified in this Agreement or in Instructions.

The Owner Trustee shall not have any duty or obligation to manage, make any payment with respect to, register, record, sell, dispose of, or otherwise deal with the Trust Property, or to otherwise take or refrain from taking any action under, or in connection with, any document contemplated hereby to which the Owner Trustee is a party, except as expressly provided by the terms of this Agreement or in any document or written instruction received by the Owner Trustee pursuant to Section 6.3; and no implied duties or obligations shall be read into this Agreement or any other Basic Document against the Owner Trustee. The Owner Trustee shall have no responsibility for filing any financing or continuation statement in any public office at any time or to otherwise perfect or maintain the perfection of any security interest or lien granted to it hereunder or to prepare or file any filing for the Trust with the Securities and Exchange Commission or to record this Agreement or any other Basic Document. The Owner Trustee nevertheless agrees that it will, at its own cost and expense, promptly take all action as may be necessary to discharge any Liens on any part of the Trust Property that result from actions by, or claims against, the U.S. Bank Trust National Association (solely in its individual capacity) and that are not related to the ownership or the administration of the Trust Property.

SECTION 6.5 No Action Except under Specified Documents or Instructions.

The Owner Trustee shall not manage, control, use, sell, dispose of or otherwise deal with any part of the Trust Property except (i) in accordance with the powers granted to and the authority conferred upon the Owner Trustee pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) in accordance with the Basic Documents and (iii) in accordance with any document or instruction delivered to the Owner Trustee pursuant to Section 6.3.

SECTION 6.6 Restrictions.

The Owner Trustee shall not take any action (a) that is inconsistent with the purposes of the Trust set forth in Section 2.3 or (b) that, to the actual knowledge of the Owner Trustee, would result in the Trust’s becoming taxable as a corporation for federal income tax purposes. The Certificateholders shall not direct the Owner Trustee to take action that would violate the provisions of this Section. For the avoidance of doubt, in connection with this Section 6.6, the Owner Trustee shall be fully protected under Sections 6.3 and 7.1(b) for its good faith reliance on instructions received pursuant to Section 6.3.

SECTION 7.6 Owner Trustee Not Liable for Certificates or Loans.

The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates (other than the signature and countersignature of the Owner Trustee on the Certificates) shall be taken as the statements of the Seller and the Owner Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness thereof.

ARTICLE VIII

Compensation of Owner Trustee

SECTION 8.1 Owner Trustee’s Fees and Expenses.

The Owner Trustee shall receive as compensation for its services hereunder the Owner Trustee’s Fees as have been separately agreed upon before the date hereof between Credit Acceptance and the Owner Trustee, and the Owner Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor by the Issuer as set forth in Section 5.08(a) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. The Owner Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. Such negotiated fees are based upon the presumption that the duties of the Trust under the Basic Documents are to be performed by Credit Acceptance pursuant to Section 11.11 hereof and Section 4.01(d) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. In the event that Credit Acceptance fails to perform such duties and the Owner Trustee undertakes to do so, the Owner Trustee shall be entitled to additional reasonable compensation with respect thereto, which shall be consented to by the Majority Noteholders. In the absence of such consent and unless the Owner Trustee expressly agrees to undertake such duties, the Owner Trustee shall not be obligated to undertake such duties.

SECTION 8.2 Indemnification.

Credit Acceptance shall be liable as primary obligor for, and shall indemnify U.S. Bank Trust National Association, individually and as Owner Trustee and its officers, directors, successors, assigns, agents and servants (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, taxes, claims, actions and suits, and any and all reasonable costs, expenses and disbursements (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) of any kind and nature whatsoever (collectively, “Expenses”) which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against any Indemnified Party in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the other Basic Documents, the Trust Property, the administration of the Trust Property or the action or inaction of the Owner Trustee hereunder, within thirty (30) days of a demand by the Owner Trustee, upon receipt by the Owner Trustee of an invoice or other demand for payment, except only that Credit Acceptance shall not be liable for or required to indemnify the Owner Trustee from and against: (i) Expenses arising or resulting from the gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of the Owner Trustee or (ii) any

Expenses which would constitute recourse for uncollectible Loans. Credit Acceptance shall advance to each Indemnified Party expenses incurred in defending any claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding, provided that such Indemnified Party shall be obligated to repay such amount if and to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines that such Indemnified Party was not entitled to indemnification hereunder. The indemnification obligations contained in this Section and the rights of the Owner Trustee under Section 8.1 shall be joint and several with the indemnification obligations of the Trust pursuant to Section 6.05 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement and shall survive the resignation or termination of the Owner Trustee or the termination of this Agreement In any event of any claim, action or proceeding for which indemnity will be sought pursuant to this Section, the Owner Trustee’s choice of legal counsel shall be subject to the approval of Credit Acceptance which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

SECTION 8.3 Payments to the Owner Trustee.

Any amounts paid to the Owner Trustee pursuant to this Article VIII shall be deemed not to be a part of the Trust Property immediately after such payment.

SECTION 8.4 Non-Recourse Obligations.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other Basic Document, the Owner Trustee agrees that all obligations of the Trust or the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall be recourse to the Trust Property only, shall be paid in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 5.08 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement and specifically shall not be recourse to the assets of any Holder. U.S. Bank Trust National Association agrees not to seek recourse against any Holder, in its capacity as a Holder, with respect to any obligations of the Trust owed to it.

ARTICLE IX

Termination of Trust Agreement

SECTION 9.1 Termination of Trust Agreement.

(a) The Trust shall dissolve upon the payment in full of the Notes or other liquidation or final settlement of the last outstanding Loan (including the purchase by the Servicer at its option of the corpus of the Trust as described in Section 10.01(a) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement) and the subsequent distribution of all amounts in respect of such Loans as provided in the Basic Documents and the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture and the business and affairs of the Trust shall be wound up as hereinafter provided in this Section 9.1. The winding up of the Trust shall be conducted in accordance with Section 3808(e) of the Statutory Trust Act, and, absent actual knowledge to the contrary, the Owner Trustee shall be entitled to rely conclusively and without investigation upon the

certificates of: (i) the Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 4.1 of the Indenture; and (ii) the Servicer pursuant to Section 7.06 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, as to the absence, to the knowledge of the Servicer, of claims against the Trust and obligations of the Trust, including, without limitation, as to the absence of claims and obligations that have not arisen but that, based upon facts known to the certifying party, are likely to arise or become known to the Trust within 10 years after the dissolution of the Trust. The Seller shall promptly notify the Owner Trustee and the Board in writing of any prospective termination pursuant to this Section 9.1. The bankruptcy, liquidation, dissolution, death, termination or incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not (x) operate to terminate this Agreement or the Trust, nor (y) entitle such Certificateholder’s legal representatives or heirs to claim an accounting or to take any action or proceeding in any court for a partition or winding up of all or any part of the Trust or Trust Property nor (z) otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the parties hereto.

(b) Except as provided in clause (a), neither the Board, the Seller nor any Certificateholder shall be entitled to revoke or terminate the Trust.

(c) Notice of any termination of the Trust, specifying the Distribution Date upon which the Certificateholders shall surrender their Certificates to the Trust Collateral Agent, as paying agent who shall then surrender such Certificates to the Owner Trustee for cancellation, shall be given by the Owner Trustee by letter to Certificateholders mailed within five Business Days of receipt of notice of such termination from the Seller or Servicer, as the case may be, given pursuant to Section 10.01(b) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, stating (i) the Distribution Date upon or with respect to which final distributions on the Certificates shall be made upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office of the Trust Collateral Agent therein designated, (ii) the amount of any such final distribution, and (iii) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable, payments being made only upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office of the Owner Trustee therein specified. The Owner Trustee shall give such notice to the Certificate Registrar (if other than the Owner Trustee) and the Trust Collateral Agent at the time such notice is given to Certificateholders. Upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates to the Owner Trustee, the Trust Collateral Agent shall cause to be distributed to Certificateholders amounts distributable on such Distribution Date pursuant to Section 5.08 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

In the event that all of the Certificateholders shall not surrender their Certificates for cancellation within six months after the date specified in the above-mentioned written notice, the Owner Trustee shall give a second written notice to the remaining Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all the Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Owner Trustee may take appropriate steps, or may appoint an agent to take appropriate steps, to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates, and the cost thereof shall be paid out of the funds and other assets that shall remain subject to this Agreement. Any funds remaining in the Trust after two years shall be distributed, subject to applicable escheat laws, by the Owner Trustee

or the Trust Collateral Agent upon the written direction of the Board to the Seller and Holders shall look solely to the Seller for payment.

(d) Any funds remaining in the Trust after funds for final distribution have been distributed or set aside for distribution and reasonable provision has been made for known claims and obligations of the Trust shall be distributed by the Owner Trustee or the Trust Collateral Agent to the Certificateholders.

(e) Upon dissolution and the completion of the winding up of the Trust pursuant to Section 9.1(a), the Owner Trustee shall cause the Certificate of Trust to be canceled by filing a certificate of cancellation with the Secretary of State in accordance with the provisions of Section 3810 of the Statutory Trust Act, whereupon this Agreement shall terminate; provided, however, that the rights and obligations with respect to indemnification under Section 8.2, the rights of the Owner Trustee under Section 8.1, and the terms of Section 11.7 hereof shall survive the dissolution of the Trust and the cancellation of the Certificate of Trust and the termination of the legal existence of the Trust and this Agreement.

If such corporation or other institution shall publish reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purpose of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation or other institution shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. In case at any time the Owner Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Owner Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 10.2.

SECTION 10.2 Resignation or Removal of Owner Trustee.

The Owner Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby created by giving written notice thereof to the Board and the Servicer. Upon receiving such notice of

resignation, the Board shall promptly appoint a successor Owner Trustee satisfying the qualifications of Section 10.1 hereof by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Owner Trustee and one copy to the successor Owner Trustee. If no successor Owner Trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Owner Trustee or the Majority Certificateholders may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Owner Trustee satisfying the qualifications of Section 10.1 hereof.

Any resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee and appointment of a successor Owner Trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall not become effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor Owner Trustee pursuant to Section 10.3 and payment of all fees and expenses owed to the outgoing Owner Trustee. The Seller shall provide notice of such resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee to the Rating Agencies and the Trust Collateral Agent.

SECTION 10.3 Successor Owner Trustee.

Any successor Owner Trustee appointed pursuant to Section 10.2 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Board, the Seller, the Servicer and to its predecessor Owner Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment under this Agreement, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor Owner Trustee shall become effective and such successor Owner Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor under this Agreement, with like effect as if originally named as Owner Trustee. The predecessor Owner Trustee shall upon payment of its fees and expenses deliver to the successor Owner Trustee all documents and statements and monies held by it under this Agreement; and the Board and the predecessor Owner Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments and do

such other things as may reasonably be required for fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor Owner Trustee all such rights, powers, duties and obligations.

No successor Owner Trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Owner Trustee shall be eligible pursuant to Section 10.1.

SECTION 10.5 Appointment of Co-Owner Trustee or Separate Owner Trustee.

If the Servicer shall not have joined in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request so to do, the Owner Trustee shall, with the consent of the Majority

Noteholders, have the power to make such appointment. No co-owner trustee or separate owner trustee under this Agreement shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor owner trustee pursuant to Section 10.1 and no notice of the appointment of any co-owner trustee or separate owner trustee shall be required pursuant to Section 10.3.

(1) all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Owner Trustee shall be conferred upon and exercised or performed by the Owner Trustee and such separate owner trustee or co-owner trustee jointly (it being understood that such separate owner trustee or co-owner trustee is not authorized to act separately without the Owner 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 Owner 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 or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed singly by such separate owner trustee or co-owner trustee, but solely at the direction of the Owner Trustee;

(2) no trustee under this Agreement shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee under this Agreement;

(3) the Board and the Owner Trustee acting jointly may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate owner trustee or co-owner trustee; and

Every instrument appointing any separate owner trustee or co-owner trustee shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions of this Article. Each separate owner trustee and co-owner 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 Owner Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement, specifically including every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Owner Trustee. Each such instrument shall be filed with the Owner Trustee and a copy thereof given to the Servicer.

Any separate owner trustee or co-owner trustee may at any time appoint the Owner 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 Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate owner trustee or co-owner 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 Owner Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor trustee.

OWNER TRUSTEE’S CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICATION

This is one of the Certificates referred to in the within-mentioned Trust Agreement.

U.S. BANK TRUST NATIONAL ASSOCIATION,
not in its individual capacity but solely as Owner Trustee

by:
Authenticating Agent

The Trust was created pursuant to a Certificate of Trust filed on July 13, 2017 and an Interim Trust Agreement dated July 13, 2017 and amended and restated as of October 26, 2017 (as so amended and restated, the “Trust Agreement”), between the Seller, each of the members of the Board of Trustees of the Trust, and U.S. Bank Trust National Association, as owner trustee, in its capacity as trustee, and not in its individual capacity (the “Owner Trustee”), a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth below. To the extent not otherwise defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Trust Agreement.

This Certificate is one of the duly authorized Certificates designated as “Asset Backed Certificates” (herein called the “Certificates”). In addition to the Certificates, there were also issued, under the Indenture dated as of the Closing Date, between the Trust and Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association, as Indenture Trustee, three classes of Notes designated as “2.65% Class A Asset Backed Notes,” “3.21% Class B Asset Backed Notes,” and “3.48% Class C Asset Backed Notes” (the “Notes”). This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Trust Agreement, to which Trust Agreement the holder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such holder is bound. The property of the Trust includes a pool of dealer loans secured by retail installment sale contracts (which are secured by used automobiles, light duty trucks, minivans or sport utility vehicles) (the “Dealer Loans”), a pool of purchased loans evidenced by retail installment loans (which are secured by used automobiles, light duty trucks, minivans or sport utility vehicles) (the “Purchased Loans”, and together with the Dealer Loans, the “Loans”) all monies due thereunder after the applicable Cut-off Date, security interests in the vehicles financed thereby, certain bank accounts and the proceeds thereof, proceeds from claims on certain insurance policies and certain other rights under the Trust Agreement and the Sale and Servicing Agreement, all right, title and interest of the Seller in and to the Sale and Contribution Agreement dated as of the Closing Date between the Originator and the Seller and all proceeds of the foregoing.

Under the Sale and Servicing Agreement, there will be distributed on the 15th day of each month or, if such 15th day is not a Business Day, the next Business Day (the “Distribution Date”), commencing on November 15, 2017, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the last day of the month preceding such Distribution Date (the “Record Date”) such Certificateholder’s fractional undivided interest in the amount to be distributed, if any, to Certificateholders on such Distribution Date.

The holder of this Certificate acknowledges and agrees that its rights to receive distributions in respect of this Certificate are subordinated to the rights of the Noteholders as described in the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Indenture and the Trust Agreement, as applicable.

It is the intention of the Seller, the Servicer and the Certificateholders that, for purposes of U.S. federal income, state and local income and franchise tax and any other income taxes, for so long as the Trust has no equity owner other than the Seller (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes), the Trust will be treated as an entity disregarded as separate from its owner and that, if the Trust has more than one equity owner (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes), the Trust will be treated as a partnership, the equity owners will be the partners in the partnership, and the partnership will not be an association or publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation. The Seller and the other Certificateholders,

by acceptance of a Certificate, agree to such treatment and agree to take no action inconsistent with such treatment. Each Certificateholder, by its acceptance of a Certificate, covenants and agrees that such Certificateholder will not at any time institute against the Trust or the Seller, or join in any institution against the Trust or the Seller of, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, or other proceedings under any United States federal or state bankruptcy or similar law in connection with any obligations relating to the Certificates, the Notes, the Trust Agreement or any of the other Basic Documents.

Distributions on this Certificate will be made as provided in the Sale and Servicing Agreement by the Trust Collateral Agent by wire transfer or check mailed to the Certificateholder of record in the Certificate Register without the presentation or surrender of this Certificate or the making of any notation hereon. Except as otherwise provided in the Trust Agreement and the Sale and Servicing Agreement and, notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate will be made after due notice by the Owner Trustee of the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office.

Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Certificate set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon shall have been executed by an authorized officer of the Owner Trustee, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not entitle the holder hereof to any benefit under the Trust Agreement or the Sale and Servicing Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

THIS CERTIFICATE SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS, EXCEPT THAT, PURSUANT TO AND TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY SECTION 3809 OF THE STATUTORY TRUST ACT, THE DOCTRINE OF MERGER SHALL NOT BE APPLICABLE TO THE TRUST.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Owner Trustee, on behalf of the Trust and not in its individual capacity, has caused this Certificate to be duly executed.

(Reverse of Certificate)

The Certificates do not represent an obligation of, or an interest in, the Seller, the Servicer, the Backup Servicer, the Owner Trustee or any Affiliates of any of them and no recourse may be had against such parties or their assets, except as may be expressly set forth or contemplated herein or in the Trust Agreement, the Indenture or the other Basic Documents. In addition, this Certificate is not guaranteed by any governmental agency or instrumentality and is limited in right of payment to certain collections with respect to the Loans, all as more specifically set forth herein and in the Sale and Servicing Agreement. A copy of each of the Sale and Servicing Agreement and the Trust Agreement may be examined during normal business hours at the principal office of the Seller, and at such other places, if any, designated by the Seller, by any Certificateholder upon written request.

The Trust Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Seller and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Trust Agreement at any time by a majority of the Regular Trustees, the Seller and the Owner Trustee with, prior to the Termination Date, the prior written consent of the Majority Noteholders. Any such consent shall be conclusive and binding on such holder and on all future holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Trust Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the holders of any of the Certificates.

This Certificate may be Transferred only under the circumstances described in Section 3.4 of the Trust Agreement. Any attempted Transfer in contravention of the restrictions and conditions of Section 3.4 of the Trust Agreement shall be null and void ab initio. As provided in the Trust Agreement and subject to certain limitations set forth therein and set forth on the front of this Certificate, the Transfer of this Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of Transfer at the offices or agencies of the Certificate Registrar maintained by the Owner Trustee in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, accompanied by a written instrument of Transfer in form satisfactory to the Owner Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate interest in the Trust will be issued to the designated transferee. The initial Certificate Registrar appointed under the Trust Agreement is Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association.

The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates. As provided in the Trust Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate denomination, as requested by the holder surrendering the same. No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

The Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and any agent of the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may treat the person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof

for all purposes, and none of the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar nor any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

The obligations and responsibilities created by the Trust Agreement and the Trust created thereby shall terminate upon the payment to Certificateholders of all amounts required to be paid to them pursuant to the Trust Agreement and the Sale and Servicing Agreement, and the disposition of all property held as part of the Trust. The Servicer may at its option purchase the corpus of the Trust at a price specified in the Sale and Servicing Agreement, and such purchase of the Loans and other property of the Trust will effect early retirement of the Certificates; however, such right of purchase is exercisable, subject to certain restrictions, only on a Distribution Date on which the sum of the Class A Note Balance plus the Class B Note Balance plus the Class C Note Balance shall be 10% or less of the sum of the initial Class A Note Balance plus the initial Class B Note Balance plus the initial Class C Note Balance, including any such purchase on such Purchase Date.

The Certificates may not be acquired by or transferred to (a) an employee benefit plan (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) that is subject to the fiduciary responsibility provisions of Title I of ERISA, (b) a plan to which Section 4975 of the Code applies, (c) any entity whose underlying assets include plan assets by reason of a plan’s investment in the entity or (d) an employee benefit plan, a plan or other similar arrangement subject to any provision of federal, state, local, non-U.S. or other laws that are substantially similar to Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (each, a “Benefit Plan”). In connection with any acquisition or transfer of a Certificate, the Holder thereof shall be required to represent and warrant that it is not a Benefit Plan.

The recitals contained herein shall be taken as the statements of the Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, and the Owner Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness thereof. The Owner Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Certificate or of any Contracts or related document.
