REVERSE OF 2020-2 EXCHANGE NOTE
This 2020-2 Exchange Note is one of the duly authorized issue of Exchange Notes, which may be issued under the Credit and Security Agreement, to which Credit and Security Agreement and all Exchange Note Supplements that are supplemental thereto reference is made for a statement of the respective rights and obligations thereunder of the Borrower, the Lender, the Servicer, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the 2020-2 Exchange Noteholders. This 2020-2 Exchange Note is subject to all terms of the Credit and Security Agreement and the Exchange Note Supplement. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this 2020-2 Exchange Note, the terms of the Credit and Security Agreement and the terms of the Exchange Note Supplement, the Exchange Note Supplement will prevail.
Interest on and principal of this 2020-2 Exchange Note will be payable in accordance with the priority of payments set forth in Section 5.1 of the Exchange Note Supplement.
Principal of this 2020-2 Exchange Note will be payable on each Payment Date in an amount equal to the Exchange Note Principal Payment Amount for such Payment Date. “Payment Date” means the twentieth (20th) day of each calendar month or, if any such day is not a Business Day, the next Business Day, commencing July 20, 2020.
As described on the face hereof, the entire unpaid principal amount of this 2020-2 Exchange Note will be due and payable on the Exchange Note Final Scheduled Payment Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire unpaid principal amount of this 2020-2 Exchange Note will be due and payable on the date on which an Exchange Note Default with respect to this 2020-2 Exchange Note has occurred and is continuing and the 2020-2 Exchange Noteholder has declared this 2020-2 Exchange Note to be immediately due and payable, or the 2020-2 Exchange Note has automatically been declared immediately due and payable, in each case in the manner provided in the Credit and Security Agreement and the Exchange Note Supplement.
Payments of interest on this 2020-2 Exchange Note on each Payment Date, together with the installment of principal, if any, to the extent not in full payment of this 2020-2 Exchange Note, will be made either by wire transfer in immediately available funds, to the account of the 2020-2 Exchange Noteholder or an account designated by the 2020-2 Exchange Noteholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor if such 2020-2 Exchange Noteholder has provided to the Exchange Note Registrar appropriate written instructions at least five Business Days prior to such Payment Date or, if not, by check mailed first-class mail postage prepaid to the 2020-2 Exchange Noteholder’s address as it appears on the Exchange Note Register prior to such Payment Date, except that the final installment of principal payable on this 2020-2 Exchange Note on a Payment Date or the Exchange Note Final Scheduled Payment Date will be payable only upon the presentation and surrender of this 2020-2 Exchange Note in the manner set forth the Credit and Security Agreement. Such payments will be made without requiring that this 2020-2 Exchange Note be submitted for notation of payment. Any reduction in the principal amount of this 2020-2 Exchange Note effected by any payments made on any Payment Date or due to a reallocation of any Collateral Lease Agreements and Collateral Leased Vehicle from the 2020-2 Designated Pool will be binding upon all future 2020-2 Exchange Noteholders of this 2020-2 Exchange Note and of any 2020-2 Exchange 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 Exchange Note Supplement and the Credit and Security Agreement, for payment in full of the then remaining unpaid principal amount of this 2020-2 Exchange Note on a Payment Date, then the Administrative Agent will notify the 2020-2 Exchange Noteholder of the date on which the Borrower expects that the final installment of principal of and interest on this 2020-2 Exchange Note will be paid not later than 5 days prior to such date.

No service charge will be charged for any registration of transfer or exchange of this 2020-2 Exchange 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.
