(b) Each of the Borrowers and the other parties to this Supplement will execute or

REVERSE OF 2011-A EXCHANGE NOTE
This 2011-A 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 Borrowers, the Lender, the Servicer, the
Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Exchange Noteholders. This 2011-A 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 2011-A 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 2011-A 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 2011-A 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 15th day of each calendar month or, if any such day is not a Business Day, the next Business
Day, commencing July 15, 2011.
As described on the face hereof, the entire unpaid principal amount of this 2011-A 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 2011-A Exchange Note will be due and
payable on the date on which an Exchange Note Default with respect to this 2011-A Exchange Note has
occurred and is continuing and the 2011-A Exchange Noteholder has declared this 2011-A Exchange
Note to be immediately due and payable in the manner provided in the Credit and Security Agreement.
Payments of interest on this 2011-A Exchange Note on each Payment Date, together with the
installment of principal, if any, to the extent not in full payment of this 2011-A Exchange Note,
will be made to the account of the 2011-A Exchange Noteholder either by wire transfer in
immediately available funds, to the account of such 2011-A Exchange Noteholder or an account
designated by the 2011-A Exchange Noteholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate
facilities therefor if such 2011-A Exchange Noteholder has provided to the Exchange Note Registrar
appropriate written instructions at least five (5) Business Days prior to such Payment Date or, if
not, by check mailed first-class mail postage prepaid to the 2011-A 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 2011-A 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
2011-A Exchange Note in the manner set forth in Section 4.06(b) of the Credit and Security
Agreement. Such payments will be made without requiring that this 2011-A Exchange Note be
submitted for notation of payment. Any reduction in the principal amount of this 2011-A Exchange
Note effected by any payments made on any Payment Date will be binding upon all future 2011-A
Exchange Noteholders of this 2011-A Exchange Note and of any 2011-A 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
EA-6
then remaining unpaid principal amount of this 2011-A Exchange Note on a Payment Date, then
the Administrative Agent will notify the 2011-A Exchange Noteholder of the date on which the
Borrowers expect that the final installment of principal of and interest on this 2011-A Exchange
Note will be paid not later than 5 days prior to such date. Such notice will specify that such
final installment will be payable only upon presentation and surrender of this 2011-A Exchange Note
and will specify the place where the 2011-A Exchange Note may be presented and surrendered for
payment of such installment.
As provided in the Servicing Supplement, this 2011-A Exchange Note may be purchased by the
Servicer, in whole but not in part, in the manner and to the extent described in Section 5.1 of the
Servicing Supplement.
The transfer of this 2011-A Exchange Note is subject to the restrictions on transfer specified
on the face hereof and to the other limitations set forth in the Credit and Security Agreement and
the Exchange Note Supplement. Subject to the satisfaction of such restrictions and limitations,
the transfer of this 2011-A Exchange Note may be registered on the Exchange Note Register upon
surrender of this 2011-A Exchange Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency
designated by the Borrowers pursuant to the Credit and Security Agreement, duly endorsed by, or
accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Administrative Agent
duly executed by, the 2011-A Exchange Noteholder hereof or the 2011-A Exchange Noteholder’s
attorney duly authorized in writing, with such signature guaranteed by an “eligible guarantor
institution” meeting the requirements of the Exchange Note Registrar, and thereupon a new 2011-A
Exchange Note in the same aggregate principal amount will be issued to the designated transferee.
No service charge will be charged for any registration of transfer or exchange of this 2011-A
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.
The 2011-A Exchange Noteholder, by accepting this 2011-A Exchange Note acknowledges and agrees
that (i) if an Insolvency Event occurs with respect to any of the Borrowers, any claim that the
2011-A Exchange Noteholder may seek to enforce at any time against any of the Borrowers will be
limited in recourse to the 2011-A Reference Pool (except to the extent of Shared Amounts allocated
to the 2011-A Exchange Noteholder pursuant to Section 5.1 of the Exchange Note Supplement) and (ii)
if, notwithstanding clause (i), the 2011-A Exchange Noteholder is deemed to have any claim against
the assets of the Borrowers other than the assets included in the 2011-A Reference Pool, whether by
operation of law, legal process, pursuant to insolvency laws or otherwise (including by virtue of
Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code), such claim will be subordinate to the payment in full,
including post-petition interest, of the claims of the Lender and to the holders of (A) all other
Exchange Notes and (B) in the case of assets allocated to a Specified Interest other than the
Collateral Specified Interest, all other asset-backed securities, the payments on which are derived
primarily from collections on designated assets of the Borrowers and all related hedging
arrangements.
THE RECITATION SET FORTH IN THE PRECEDING PARAGRAPH WILL BE DEEMED TO CONSTITUTE AN
ENFORCEABLE SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT WITHIN THE MEANING OF SECTION 510(A) OF THE BANKRUPTCY CODE.
