At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Issuer may deliver Notes executed by the Issuer to the

 (a) The Indenture Trustee may appoint one or more

authenticating agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an authenticating agent. No successor
authenticating agent shall be appointed unless acceptable to the Issuer and the Servicer.

reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the registration of Notes and the registration of transfers of Notes shall be provided. A note registrar (which may be the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee) (in such capacity, the “Note
Registrar”) shall provide for the registration of Registered Notes and transfers and exchanges of Registered Notes as herein provided. The Note Registrar shall initially be the Indenture Trustee and any co-note registrar chosen by the
Issuer and acceptable to the Indenture Trustee. Any reference in this Indenture to the Note Registrar shall include any co-note registrar unless the context requires otherwise. 
 The Indenture Trustee may revoke such appointment and remove any Note Registrar if the Indenture Trustee determines in its sole discretion that such Note
Registrar failed to perform its obligations under this Indenture in any material respect. Any Note Registrar shall 
  

 19 








 be permitted to resign as Note Registrar upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to the Issuer and the Indenture
Trustee; provided, however, that such resignation shall not be effective and such Note Registrar shall continue to perform its duties as Note Registrar until the Indenture Trustee has appointed a successor Note Registrar (which may be
the Indenture Trustee) reasonably acceptable to the Issuer.

at any office or agency of the Note Registrar maintained for such purpose, one or more new Registered Notes (of the same Series and Class) in authorized denominations of like tenor and aggregate principal amount shall be executed, authenticated and
delivered, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees. 
 At the option of a Registered Noteholder, subject to the provisions of
this Section 2.05, Registered Notes (of the same Series and Class) may be exchanged for other Registered Notes of authorized denominations of like tenor and aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Registered Notes to be
exchanged at any such office or agency; Registered Notes, including Registered Notes received in exchange for Bearer Notes, may not be exchanged for Bearer Notes. At the option of the Holder of a Bearer Note, subject to applicable laws and
regulations, Bearer Notes may be exchanged for other Bearer Notes or Registered Notes (of the same Series and Class) of authorized denominations of like tenor and aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Bearer Notes to be exchanged at an
office or agency of the Note Registrar located outside the United States. Each Bearer Note surrendered pursuant to this Section shall have attached thereto all unmatured Coupons; provided, that any Bearer Note so surrendered after the close
of business on the Record Date preceding the relevant Payment Date or Distribution Date after the Expected Principal Payment Date need not have attached the Coupon relating to such Payment Date or Distribution Date (in each case, as specified in the
applicable Indenture Supplement). 
 All Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes shall be the valid obligations
of the Issuer, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. 
 The preceding provisions of this Section 2.05(a) notwithstanding, the Indenture Trustee or the Note Registrar, as the case may be, shall not be required to register the transfer of or exchange any Note for
a period of fifteen (15) days preceding the due date for any payment with respect to the Note. 
 Whenever any Notes are so surrendered
for exchange, the Issuer shall execute and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver (in the case of Bearer Notes, outside the United States) the Notes which the Noteholder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Every Note presented
or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in a form satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee or the Note Registrar duly executed by the Noteholder or the attorney-in-fact thereof
duly authorized in writing. 
 No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, but the Note Registrar
may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any such transfer or exchange. 
  

 20 








 All Notes (together with any Coupons) surrendered for registration of transfer and exchange or for
payment shall be canceled and disposed of in a manner satisfactory to the Issuer as confirmed in writing by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee. The Indenture Trustee shall cancel and destroy any Global Note upon its exchange in full for definitive
Notes and shall deliver a certificate of destruction to the Issuer. Such certificate shall also state that a certificate or certificates of a Foreign Clearing Agency referred to in the applicable Indenture Supplement was received with respect to
each portion of the Global Note exchanged for definitive Notes. 
 The Issuer shall execute and deliver to the Indenture Trustee Bearer Notes
and Registered Notes in such amounts and at such times as are necessary to enable the Indenture Trustee to fulfill its responsibilities under this Indenture and the Notes. 
 (b) The Note Registrar will maintain at its expense in St. Paul, Minnesota, or New York, New York, an office or agency where Notes may be
surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange (except that Bearer Notes may not be surrendered for exchange at any such office or agency in the United States or its territories and possessions). 
 Section 2.06. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes. 
 If (a) any mutilated Note (together, in the case of Bearer Notes, with all unmatured Coupons (if any) appertaining thereto) is surrendered to the Note Registrar, or the Note Registrar receives evidence to its
satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, and (b) in case of destruction, loss or theft there is delivered to the Note Registrar such security or indemnity as may be required by it to hold the Issuer, the Transferor, the Note
Registrar and the Indenture Trustee harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Issuer, the Transferor, the Note Registrar or the Indenture Trustee that such Note has been acquired by a protected purchaser, the Issuer shall execute, and the
Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and the Note Registrar shall deliver (in the case of Bearer Notes, outside the United States), in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a replacement Note of like tenor
and aggregate principal amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding; provided, however, that if any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall have become or within seven (7) days shall be due and payable,
or shall have been selected or called for redemption, instead of issuing a replacement Note, the Issuer may pay such Note without surrender thereof, except that any mutilated Note shall be surrendered. If, after the delivery of such replacement Note
or payment of a destroyed, lost or stolen Note pursuant to the proviso to the preceding sentence, a protected purchaser of the original Note in lieu of which such replacement Note was issued presents for payment such original Note, the Issuer and
the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to recover such replacement Note (or such payment) from the Person to whom it was delivered or any Person taking such replacement Note from such Person to whom such replacement Note was delivered or any
assignee of such Person, except a protected purchaser, and shall be entitled to recover upon the security or indemnity provided therefor to the extent of any loss, damage, cost or expense incurred by the Issuer, the Transferor or the Indenture
Trustee in connection therewith. 
 In connection with the issuance of any replacement Note under this Section 2.06, the Issuer
or the Note Registrar may require the payment by the Holder of such Note of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other reasonable expenses (including the reasonable fees and
expenses of the Indenture Trustee or the Note Registrar) connected therewith. 
  

 21 








 Any replacement Note issued pursuant to this Section in replacement of any mutilated, destroyed, lost or
stolen Note shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of a debt of the Issuer, as if originally issued, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be found at any time, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this
Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder. 
 The provisions of this Section 2.06
are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes. 
 Section 2.07. Persons Deemed Owners. 
 The Indenture Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Note Registrar, the Transferor, the Issuer and any agent of any of them may (a) prior to due presentation of a Registered Note for registration of transfer, treat the Person in whose name
any Registered Note is registered as the owner of such Registered Note for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to the terms of the applicable Indenture Supplement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and (b) treat the bearer of a
Bearer Note or Coupon as the owner of such Bearer Note or Coupon for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to the terms of the applicable Indenture Supplement and for all other purposes whatsoever; and, in any such case, neither the
Indenture Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Note Registrar, the Transferor, the Issuer nor any agent of any of them shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. 
 Section 2.08. Appointment of Paying Agent. 
 The Paying Agent shall make distributions to
Noteholders from the Collection Account, the Special Funding Account or applicable Series Account pursuant to the provisions of the applicable Indenture Supplement. The Indenture Trustee shall have the power to withdraw funds from the Collection
Account, the Special Funding Account or applicable Series Account for the purpose of providing such funds to the Paying Agent or making the distributions referred to above. The Issuer may revoke such power and remove the Paying Agent if the Issuer
determines in its sole discretion that the Paying Agent shall have failed to perform its obligations under this Indenture in any material respect. The Issuer reserves the right at any time to vary or terminate the appointment of a Paying Agent for
the Notes, and to appoint additional or other Paying Agents, provided that it will at all times maintain the Indenture Trustee as a Paying Agent. In the event that any Paying Agent shall resign, the Issuer shall appoint a successor to act as
Paying Agent. The Issuer shall cause each successor or additional Paying Agent to execute and deliver to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee an instrument as described in Section 3.03. Any reference in this Indenture to the Paying Agent
shall include any co-paying agent unless the context requires otherwise. 
 Section 2.09. Cancellation. 
 All Notes surrendered for payment, registration of transfer, exchange or redemption shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Indenture Trustee,
be delivered to the Indenture Trustee and shall be promptly cancelled by it. The Issuer may at any time deliver 
  

 22 








 to the Indenture Trustee for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Issuer may
have acquired in any lawful manner whatsoever, and all Notes so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Indenture Trustee. No Notes shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Notes cancelled as provided in this Section, except as
expressly permitted by this Indenture. All cancelled Notes held by the Indenture Trustee shall be destroyed unless the Issuer shall direct by a timely order that they be returned to the Issuer. 
 Section 2.10. New Issuances. 
 (a) Pursuant to one or more Indenture Supplements, the Issuer may from time to time direct the Indenture Trustee, on behalf of the Issuer, to issue one or more new Series of Notes (a “New Issuance”). The Notes of all
Outstanding Series shall be equally and ratably entitled as provided herein to the benefits of this Indenture without preference, priority or distinction on account of the actual time of the authentication and delivery or Expected Principal Payment
Date or Stated Maturity Date, all in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Indenture and the applicable Indenture Supplement except, with respect to any Series or Class, as provided in the related Indenture Supplement. The total principal
amount of Notes that may be authenticated and delivered and Outstanding under this Indenture is not limited. 
 (b) On or before the Series
Issuance Date relating to any new Series, the parties hereto will execute and deliver an Indenture Supplement which will specify the Principal Terms of such new Series. The terms of such Indenture Supplement may modify or amend the terms of this
Indenture solely as applied to such new Series. The Indenture Trustee shall execute the Indenture Supplement and the Issuer shall execute the Notes of such Series and deliver the Notes to the Indenture Trustee for authentication and delivery. The
issuance of any such Notes of any new Series (other than any Series issued pursuant to an Indenture Supplement dated as of the date hereof) shall be subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions: 
 (i) on or before the fifth (5th) Business Day immediately preceding the Series Issuance Date, the Issuer shall have given written notice to the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer and each Rating Agency, if any, that has rated any Series or Class within
the applicable Group (unless such notice requirement is otherwise waived) of such issuance and the Series Issuance Date; 
 (ii) the Issuer shall have delivered to the Indenture Trustee the related Indenture Supplement, in a form satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee, executed by each party hereto (other than the Indenture Trustee) and specifying the relevant
Principal Terms; 
 (iii) the Issuer shall have delivered to the Indenture Trustee any related Series Enhancement executed by
each of the parties thereto, other than the Indenture Trustee; 
 (iv) the Rating Agency Condition, if applicable, shall have
been satisfied with respect to such issuance; 
 (v) such issuance will not result in the occurrence of a Default, an Adverse
Effect or an Early Redemption Event or Reinvestment Event for any 
  

 23 








 Series, and the Issuer shall have delivered to the Indenture Trustee an Officer’s Certificate of the
Issuer, dated the Series Issuance Date for such Series, to the effect that (1) the Issuer reasonably believes that such issuance will not, based on the facts known to the Person executing such Officer’s Certificate, have an Adverse Effect
or result in the occurrence of a Default or Early Redemption Event or Reinvestment Event for any Series then Outstanding and (2) all conditions precedent to such execution, authentication and delivery have been satisfied; 
 (vi) the Issuer shall have delivered to the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee (with a copy to each Rating Agency, as applicable), a

 Unless otherwise specified in any related Indenture Supplement for any Series or
Class, the Notes, upon original issuance, shall be issued in the form of one or more Notes representing the Book-Entry Notes, to be delivered to the Clearing Agency or Foreign Clearing Agency on behalf of the Issuer. The Notes shall initially be
registered on the Note Register in the name of the Clearing Agency or Foreign Clearing Agency or its nominee, and no beneficial owner of Notes will receive a definitive note representing such beneficial owner’s interest in the Notes, except as
provided in Section 2.13. Unless and until Definitive Notes have been issued to the applicable beneficial owners pursuant to Section 2.13 or as otherwise specified in any such Indenture Supplement: 
 (a) the provisions of this Section 2.11 shall be in full force and effect with respect to each such Series; 
 (b) the Issuer, the Transferor and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to deal with the Clearing Agency or Foreign Clearing Agency for all purposes
of this Indenture (including distributions) as the authorized representatives of the beneficial owners of the Notes; 
 (c) to the extent
that the provisions of this Section 2.11 conflict with any other provisions of this Indenture, the provisions of this Section 2.11 shall control with respect to each such Series; and 
 (d) the rights of the respective beneficial owners of each such Series shall be exercised only through the Clearing Agency or Foreign Clearing Agency and
the applicable Clearing Agency Participants and shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such beneficial owners and the Clearing Agency or Foreign Clearing Agency and/or the Clearing Agency Participants. Pursuant to the
Depository Agreement applicable to a Series, unless and until Definitive Notes of such Series are issued pursuant to Section 2.13, the initial Clearing Agency shall make book-entry transfers among the Clearing Agency Participants and
receive and transmit distributions of principal and interest on the related Notes to such Clearing Agency Participants. 
  

 24 








 For purposes of any provision of this Indenture requiring or permitting actions with the consent of, or
at the direction of, Noteholders evidencing a specified percentage of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of Notes, such direction or consent may be given by beneficial owners (acting through the Clearing Agency, the Foreign Clearing Agency, or
the Clearing Agency Participants) owning beneficial interests in the Notes evidencing the requisite percentage of principal amount of Notes. 
 Section 2.12. Notices to Clearing Agency or Foreign Clearing Agency. 
 Whenever a notice or other communication is
required to be given to the Noteholders of any Series or Class with respect to which Book-Entry Notes have been issued, unless and until Definitive Notes shall have been issued to the related beneficial owners pursuant to Section 2.13,
the Indenture Trustee shall give all such notices and communications to the Clearing Agency or Foreign Clearing Agency, as applicable. 
 Section 2.13. Definitive Notes. 
 If Book-Entry Notes have been issued with respect to any Series or Class and
(i) (a) the Issuer advises the Indenture Trustee that the Clearing Agency or Foreign Clearing Agency is no longer willing or able to discharge properly its responsibilities with respect to such Series or Class and (b) the Issuer is unable
to locate and reach an agreement on satisfactory terms with a qualified successor, (ii) to the extent permitted by law, the Issuer, at its option, advises the Indenture Trustee in writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry system
through the Clearing Agency or Foreign Clearing Agency with respect to such Series or Class or (iii) after the occurrence of a Servicer Default or an Event of Default, beneficial owners of such Series or Class representing not less than 50% of
the principal amount of the Book-Entry Notes of such Series or Class advise the Indenture Trustee and the applicable Clearing Agency or Foreign Clearing Agency in writing through the applicable Clearing Agency Participants that the continuation of a
book-entry system with respect to the Notes of such Series or Class is no longer in the best interests of the beneficial owners of such Series or Class, then the Indenture Trustee shall notify all beneficial owners of such Series or Class, through
the Clearing Agency or Foreign Clearing Agency, as applicable, of the occurrence of such event and of the availability of Definitive Notes to beneficial owners of such Series or Class. Upon surrender to the Indenture Trustee of such Notes by the
Clearing Agency, accompanied by registration instructions from the applicable Clearing Agency for registration, the Issuer shall execute and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate Definitive Notes of such Class and shall recognize the registered
holders of such Definitive Notes as Noteholders under this Indenture. Neither the Issuer nor the Indenture Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions, and the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee may conclusively rely on, and
shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Notes of such Series, all references herein to obligations imposed upon or to be performed by the applicable Clearing Agency or Foreign Clearing Agency shall be
deemed to be imposed upon and performed by the Indenture Trustee, to the extent applicable with respect to such Definitive Notes, and the Indenture Trustee shall recognize the registered Holders of such Definitive Notes of such Series or Class as
Noteholders of such Series or Class hereunder. Definitive Notes will be transferable and exchangeable at the offices of the Note Registrar. 
  

 25 








 Section 2.14. Global Note. 
 If specified in the related Indenture Supplement for any Series or Class, the Notes for such Series or Class will initially be issued in the form of a
single temporary global Note (the “Global Note”) in bearer form, without interest coupons, in the denomination of the entire aggregate principal amount of such Series or Class and substantially in the form set forth in the exhibit
with respect thereto attached to the related Indenture Supplement. The Global Note will be executed by the Issuer and authenticated by the Indenture Trustee at the written direction of the Issuer upon the same conditions, in substantially the same
manner and with the same effect as the Definitive Notes. The Global Note may be exchanged for Bearer or Registered Notes in definitive form, as provided in the related Indenture Supplement. Except as otherwise specifically provided in the Indenture
Supplement, any Notes that are issued in bearer form shall be issued in accordance with the requirements of Code Section 163(f)(2). 
 Section 2.15. Meetings of Noteholders. 
 To the extent and as more specifically provided by the Indenture Supplement
for any Series issued in whole or in part in Bearer Notes, the Indenture Trustee may at any time call a meeting of the Noteholders of such Series, for the purpose of approving a modification of or amendment to, or obtaining a waiver of, any covenant
or condition set forth in this Indenture for such Series or in the Notes of such Series, subject to Article IX. 
 Section 2.16.
Release of Collateral. 
 Subject to Section 11.01, the Indenture Trustee shall release property from the lien of this
Indenture only upon receipt of an Issuer Order accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate, an Opinion of Counsel and (if required by the TIA) Independent Certificates in accordance with TIA §§314(c) and 314 (d)(1) or an Opinion of
Counsel in lieu of such Independent Certificates to the effect that the TIA does not require any such Independent Certificates. 
 ARTICLE III

 REPRESENTATIONS AND COVENANTS OF ISSUER 
 Section 3.01. Payment of Principal and Interest. 
 (a) The Issuer will duly and punctually pay
principal (and premium, if any) and, if such Note is an Interest-bearing Note, interest, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Notes as specified in the relevant Indenture Supplement. 
 (b) The Noteholders of a Series as of the Record Date in respect of a Payment Date shall be entitled to the interest (if any) accrued and payable and
principal (and premium, if any) payable on such Payment Date as specified in the related Indenture Supplement. All payment obligations under a Note are discharged to the extent such payments are made to the Noteholder of record. 
  

 26 








 Section 3.02. Maintenance of Office or Agency. 
 The Issuer will maintain an office or agency within St. Paul, Minnesota or New York, New York where Notes may be presented or surrendered for payment,
where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Issuer in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served. The Issuer hereby initially appoints the Indenture Trustee located
at its Corporate Trust Office to serve as its agent for the foregoing purposes. The Issuer will give prompt written notice to the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer and the Noteholders of any change in the location of any such office or agency. If at
any time the Issuer shall fail to maintain any such office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Indenture Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office,
and the Issuer hereby appoints the Indenture Trustee as its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands at its Corporate Trust Office. 
 Section 3.03. Money for Note Payments to Be Held in Trust. 
 As specified in
Section 8.02 and in the related Indenture Supplement, all payments of amounts due and payable on the Notes which are to be made from amounts withdrawn from the Collection Account, any Series Account or the Special Funding Account shall
be made on behalf of the Issuer by the Indenture Trustee or by the Paying Agent, and no amounts so withdrawn from the Collection Account, any Series Account or the Special Funding Account shall be paid over to or at the direction of the Issuer
except as provided in this Indenture or in the related Indenture Supplement. 
 Whenever the Issuer shall have a Paying Agent in addition to
the Indenture Trustee, it will, on or before the Business Day next preceding each Payment Date, direct in writing the Indenture Trustee to deposit with such Paying Agent on or before such Payment Date an aggregate sum sufficient to pay the amounts
then becoming due, such sum to be (i) held in trust for the benefit of Persons entitled thereto and (ii) invested, pursuant to an Issuer Order or at the written direction of the Servicer, as applicable, by the Paying Agent in a specific
Eligible Investment in accordance with the terms of the related Indenture Supplement. For all investments made by a Paying Agent under this Section 3.03, such Paying Agent shall be entitled to all of the rights and obligations of the
Indenture Trustee under this Indenture and the related Indenture Supplement, such rights and obligations being incorporated in this paragraph by this reference. 
 The Issuer will cause each Paying Agent other than the Indenture Trustee to execute and deliver to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Issuer (and if the
Indenture Trustee acts as Paying Agent, it hereby so agrees), subject to the provisions of this Section 3.03, that such Paying Agent will: 
 (i) hold all sums held by it for the payment of amounts due with respect to the Notes in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as
herein provided and pay such sums to such Persons as herein provided; 
  

 27 








 (ii) give the Indenture Trustee notice of any default by the Issuer (or any other obligor
upon the Notes) of which it has actual knowledge in the making of any payment required to be made with respect to the Notes; 
 (iii) at any time during the continuance of any such default, upon the written request of the Indenture Trustee, forthwith pay to the Indenture Trustee all sums so held in trust by such Paying Agent; 
 (iv) immediately resign as a Paying Agent and forthwith pay to the Indenture Trustee all sums held by it in trust for the payment of Notes
if at any time it ceases to meet the standards required to be met by a Paying Agent at the time of its appointment; and 
 (v)
comply with all requirements of the Code with respect to the withholding from any payments made by it on any Notes of any applicable withholding taxes imposed thereon and with respect to any applicable reporting requirements in connection therewith.

 The Issuer may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, by
Issuer Order direct any Paying Agent to pay to the Indenture Trustee all sums held in trust by such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Indenture Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which such sums were held by such Paying Agent; and
upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Indenture Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money. 
 Subject to applicable laws with respect to escheat of funds, and after such notice required with respect to Notes not surrendered for cancellation pursuant to Section 10.02(b) is given, any money held by
the Indenture Trustee or any Paying Agent in trust for the payment of any amount due with respect to any Note remaining unclaimed for two years after such amount has become due and payable shall be discharged from such trust, and the Indenture
Trustee or such Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall give prompt notice of such occurrence to the Issuer and shall release such money to the Issuer on Issuer Order; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor,
look only to the Issuer (and then only to the extent of the amounts so paid to the Issuer) for payment thereof, and all liability of the Indenture Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money shall thereupon cease; provided,
however, that the Indenture Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, shall at the direction of the Issuer cause to be published once, in a newspaper published in the English language, customarily
published on each Business Day and of general circulation in The City of New York, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than thirty (30) days from the date of such
publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Issuer. The cost of any such notice or publication shall be paid out of funds in the Collection Account or any Series Account held for the benefit of the
Noteholders. The Indenture Trustee shall also adopt and employ, at the expense of the Issuer, any other reasonable means of notification of such repayment (including, but not limited to, mailing notice of such repayment to Holders whose Notes have
been called but have not been surrendered for redemption or whose right to or interest in moneys due and payable but not claimed is determinable from the records of the Indenture Trustee or of any Paying Agent, at the last address of record for each
such Holder). 
  

 28 








 Section 3.04. Existence. 
 The Issuer will keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a business trust under the laws of the State of Nevada (unless it becomes, or
any successor Issuer hereunder is or becomes, organized under the laws of any other state or of the United States of America, in which case the Issuer will keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises under the laws of such other
jurisdiction) and will obtain and preserve its qualification to do business in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes, the Trust Estate and each
other related instrument or agreement included in the Trust Estate. The Issuer shall not consolidate or merge with or into any other Person or convey or transfer its properties and assets substantially as an entity to any Person (except as provided
in the Granting Clauses) unless it has received a Tax Opinion dated the date of such consolidation, merger or transfer (and shall have delivered copies thereof to the Indenture Trustee). 
 Section 3.05. Protection of Trust. 
 The Issuer will from time to time take all actions necessary, including without limitation preparing, or causing to be prepared, authorizing, executing and delivering all such supplements and amendments hereto and all such financing
statements, amendments to financing statements, continuation statements, if any, instruments of further assurance and other instruments, and will take such other action necessary or advisable to:

 (b) maintain or preserve the lien and security interest (and the priority thereof) of this Indenture or to carry out more effectively the purposes
hereof; 
 (c) perfect, publish notice of, or protect the validity of any Grant made or to be made by this Indenture; or 
 (d) preserve and defend title to the Trust Estate and the rights therein of the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders and the Series Enhancers (if any)
secured thereby against the claims of all Persons. 
 The Issuer hereby designates the Indenture Trustee its agent and attorney-in-fact to
execute any instrument required pursuant to this Section 3.05. 
 The Issuer shall pay or cause to be paid any taxes levied on
all or any part of the Trust Estate. 
 Section 3.06. Opinions as to Trust Estate. 
 (a) On each Series Issuance Date, the Issuer shall furnish to the Indenture Trustee an Opinion of Counsel (with a copy to each Rating Agency, as
applicable) either stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, such action has been taken to perfect the lien and security interest of this Indenture, including without limitation with respect to the recording and filing of this Indenture, any
indentures supplemental hereto, and any other requisite documents, and with

 (b) On or before July 31 in each calendar year, beginning in 2007, the Issuer shall furnish to the Indenture Trustee an Opinion of Counsel either
stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, such action has been taken to perfect the lien and security interest of this Indenture, including without limitation with respect to the recording, filing, re-recording and refiling of this Indenture,
any indentures supplemental hereto and any other requisite documents and with respect to the filing of any financing statements and amendments to financing statements as is so necessary and reciting the details of such action or stating that in the
opinion of such counsel no such action is necessary to maintain the perfection of such lien and security interest. Such Opinion of Counsel shall also describe the recording, filing, re-recording and refiling of this Indenture, any indentures
supplemental hereto and any other requisite documents and the filing of any financing statements and amendments to financing statements that will, in the opinion of such counsel, be required to maintain the perfection of the lien and security
interest of this Indenture until July 31 in the following calendar year. 
 Section 3.07. Performance of Obligations; Servicing
of Payment Obligations. 
 (a) The Issuer will not take any action and will use its best efforts not to permit any action to be taken by
others that would release any Person from any of such Person’s material covenants or obligations under any instrument or agreement included in the Trust Estate or that would result in the amendment, hypothecation, subordination, termination or
discharge of, or impair the validity or effectiveness of, any such instrument or agreement, except as expressly provided in this Indenture, the Transfer and Servicing Agreement or such other instrument or agreement. 
 (b) The Issuer may contract with other Persons to assist it in performing its duties under this Indenture, and any performance of such duties by a Person
identified to the Indenture Trustee in an Officer’s Certificate of the Issuer shall satisfy the obligations of the Issuer with respect thereto. Initially, the Issuer has contracted with the Administrator to assist the Issuer in performing its
duties under this Indenture. 
 (c) The Issuer will punctually perform and observe all of its obligations and agreements contained in this
Indenture, the Transaction Documents and in the instruments and agreements relating to the Trust Estate, including but not limited to filing or causing to be filed all UCC financing statements and amendments to financing statements required to be
filed by the terms of this Indenture in accordance with and within the time periods provided for herein. 
 (d) If the Issuer shall have
knowledge of the occurrence of a Servicer Default under the Transfer and Servicing Agreement, the Issuer shall promptly notify the Indenture Trustee and the Rating Agencies thereof, and shall specify in such notice the action, if any, being taken
with respect to such default. If a Servicer Default shall arise from the failure of the Servicer to perform any of its duties or obligations under the Transfer and Servicing Agreement with respect to the Trust Estate, the Issuer shall take all
reasonable steps available to it to remedy such failure. 
  

 30 








 (e) Without derogating from the absolute nature of the assignment granted to the Indenture Trustee under
this Indenture or the rights of the Indenture Trustee hereunder, the Issuer agrees (i) that it will not, without the prior written consent of the Indenture Trustee and satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition, amend, modify, waive,
supplement, terminate or surrender, or agree to any amendment, modification, supplement, termination, waiver or surrender of, the terms of any Transaction Document (except to the extent otherwise provided in the Transaction Documents), or waive

as an association or publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation. The Issuer, by entering into this Agreement, and each Noteholder, by the acceptance of any such Note (and each beneficial owner of a Note, by its acceptance of an interest in
the applicable Note), agree to treat such Notes for federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes as indebtedness of the Issuer. Each Holder of such Note agrees that it will cause any beneficial owner of such Note acquiring an interest

furtherance of the foregoing intended tax treatment.

 ARTICLE V 
 DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES 
 Section 5.01. Early Redemption Events. 
 An “Early Redemption Event” with respect to any Outstanding Note of any Series or Class means any Early Redemption Event specified in
the related Indenture Supplement or any one of the following events: 
 (a) an Insolvency Event relating to the Transferor or an Account Owner
shall have occurred; or 
 (b) The Issuer shall have become subject to regulation by the Commission as an “investment company”
under the Investment Company Act. 
 The occurrence of either of the events described in (a) and (b) above will cause an Early
Redemption Event (or if so provided in the Indenture Supplement for a Series, a Reinvestment Event) for every Series Outstanding. Upon the occurrence of any Early Redemption Event, a Redemption Period shall commence and payment on the Notes of each
Series will be made in accordance with the terms of the related Indenture Supplement. 
 Section 5.02. Events of Default.

 An “Event of Default” with respect to any Outstanding Note of any Series means any one of the following events (whatever
the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental
body): 
 (a) default in the payment of principal of any Note of that Series when the same becomes due and payable; or 
 (b) default in the payment of any interest on any Note of that Series when the same becomes due and payable and such default shall continue for a period
of thirty-five (35) days; or 
 (c) default in the performance or observance of any covenant or agreement of the Issuer made in this
Indenture in respect of the Notes of that Series (other than a covenant or agreement, a default in the performance or observance of which is elsewhere in this Section specifically dealt with) (all of such covenants and agreements in this Indenture
which are not expressly stated to be for the benefit of a particular Series shall be considered to be for the benefit of the Notes of all Series), or any representation or warranty of the Issuer made in this Indenture or in any certificate or other
writing delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith proving to have been incorrect in any material respect as of the time when the same shall have been made, which default has a material adverse effect on the interests of the Noteholders of
that Series (or all Series, as applicable) and continues unremedied for sixty (60) days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied (a “Notice of Default”), shall have been given,
by overnight delivery or messenger delivery or by 
  

 36 








 registered or certified mail, return receipt requested (i) to the Issuer by the Indenture Trustee or any Series
Enhancer, or (ii) to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee by Noteholders of any Outstanding Series holding Notes evidencing not less than fifty (50) percent of the Outstanding principal amount for such Series (or all Series, as
applicable); or 
 (d) an Insolvency Event with respect to the Issuer has occurred. 
 The Issuer shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee, within five (5) days after the occurrence of any Default or an Insolvency Event, written notice
in the form of an Officer’s Certificate of the Issuer of such Default or Insolvency Event, its status and what action the Issuer is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto. 
 Section 5.03. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment. 
 (a) If an Event of Default described in paragraph (a), (b) or (c) of Section 5.02 should occur and be continuing for a Series, then
in every such case the Indenture Trustee or the Holders of Notes representing not less than a majority of the Outstanding principal amount of that Series may declare all the Notes of that Series to be immediately due and payable, by a notice in
writing to the Issuer (and to the Indenture Trustee if declared by Noteholders), and upon any such declaration the unpaid principal amount of the Notes of that Series, together with accrued or accreted and unpaid interest thereon through the date of
acceleration, shall become immediately due and payable. 
 (b) If an Event of Default described in paragraph (d) of
Section 5.02 should occur and be continuing, then the unpaid principal of the Notes, together with the accrued or accreted and unpaid interest thereon through the date of acceleration, shall automatically become, and shall be considered
to be declared, due and payable. 
 (c) At any time after such declaration of acceleration of maturity has been made and before a judgment or
decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Indenture Trustee as hereinafter in this Article V provided, the Holders of Notes representing not less than a majority of the Outstanding principal amount of the Notes of such
Series, by written notice to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if: 
 (i) the Issuer has paid or deposited with the Indenture Trustee a sum sufficient to pay: 
 (A) all payments of
principal of and interest on the Notes of that Series and all other amounts that would then be due hereunder or upon the Notes of that Series if the Event of Default giving rise to such acceleration had not occurred; and 
 (B) all sums paid or advanced by the Indenture Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of
the Indenture Trustee and its agents and outside counsel; and 
  

 37 








 (ii) all Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of the principal of the Notes of
that Series that has become due solely by such acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 5.13. 
 No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent to it. 
 Section 5.04. Collection of
Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Indenture Trustee. 
 (a) The Issuer covenants that if (i) default is made in the payment
of any interest on any Note when the same becomes due and payable, and such default continues for a period of thirty-five (35) days following the date on which it became due and payable or (ii) default is made in the payment of principal
of any Note, if and to the extent not previously paid when the same becomes due and payable, the Issuer will, upon demand of the Indenture Trustee, immediately pay to the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders the whole amount then due
and payable on such Notes for principal and interest, with interest upon the overdue principal and, to the extent that payments of such interest shall be legally enforceable, upon overdue installments of interest at the applicable Interest Rate and,
in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee, its agents and outside counsel.

 (b) If the Issuer fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Indenture Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an
express trust, may institute a Proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute such Proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce the same against the Issuer or other obligor upon such Notes and collect in
the manner provided by law out of the Trust Estate or the property of another obligor on the Notes, wherever situated, the monies adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law. 
 (c) If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee may, in its discretion and subject to the provisions of
Section 5.03, Section 5.05, Section 5.12 and Section 6.01, proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Noteholders of the affected Series (or all Series, as applicable) under this
Indenture by such appropriate Proceedings as the Indenture Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement contained in this Indenture or in aid of the
exercise of any power granted in this Indenture, or to enforce any other proper remedy or legal or equitable right vested in the Indenture Trustee by this Indenture or by law. 
 (d) In case there shall be pending, relative to the Issuer or any other obligor upon the Notes of the affected Series or any Person having or claiming an
ownership interest in the Trust Estate, Proceedings under Title 11 of the United States Code or any other applicable Debtor Relief Law or in case a receiver, conservator, assignee, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidator, sequestrator, custodian or other
similar official shall have been appointed for or taken possession of the Issuer or its property or such other obligor or Person, or in case of any other comparable judicial Proceedings relative to the Issuer or the creditors or property of the
Issuer or such other obligor or Person, the Indenture Trustee, regardless whether the principal of any Notes shall then 
  

 38 








 be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and regardless whether the Indenture Trustee shall
have made any demand pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.04, shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such Proceedings or otherwise: 
 (i) to file one or more claims for the whole amount of principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Notes of such Series, and
to file such other papers or documents, and take such other actions, as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Indenture Trustee (including any claim for reasonable compensation to the Indenture Trustee and each predecessor
Indenture Trustee, and their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and for reimbursement of all expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Indenture Trustee and each predecessor Indenture Trustee, except as a result of
negligence or bad faith) and of the Noteholders of such Series, allowed in any such Proceedings; 
 (ii) unless prohibited by
applicable law, to vote on behalf of the Noteholders of such Series in any election of a trustee or a standby trustee in bankruptcy or a Person performing similar functions in comparable Proceedings; and 
 (iii) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims, and to distribute all amounts
received with respect to the claims of the Noteholders of such Series and of the Indenture Trustee on their behalf; 
 and any trustee, receiver, liquidator,
custodian or other similar official in any such Proceeding is hereby authorized by each of such Noteholders to make payments to the Indenture Trustee, and, in the event that the Indenture Trustee shall consent to the making of payments directly to
such Noteholders, to pay to the Indenture Trustee such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover reasonable compensation to the Indenture Trustee, each predecessor Indenture Trustee and their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and all other
expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Indenture Trustee and each predecessor Indenture Trustee except as a result of negligence or bad faith. 
 (e) Nothing herein contained shall authorize the Indenture Trustee to authorize or consent to or vote for or accept or adopt on behalf of any Noteholder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or
composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Noteholder thereof, or authorize the Indenture Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Noteholder in any such proceeding except to vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or
similar Person as provided in Section 5.04(d)(ii). 
 (f) All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture, or under
any of the Notes, may be enforced by the Indenture Trustee without the possession of any of the Notes or the production thereof in any trial or other Proceedings relative thereto, and any such action or Proceedings instituted by the Indenture
Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment, subject to the payment of the expenses, disbursements and compensation of the Indenture Trustee, each predecessor Indenture Trustee and their
respective agents and attorneys, shall be for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes of the affected Series as provided herein. 
  

 39 








 (g) In any Proceedings brought by the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee shall be held to represent
all the Noteholders of the affected Series (unless the interests of the Indenture Trustee are adverse to those of such Noteholders), and it shall not be necessary to make any such Noteholder party to any such Proceedings. 
 Section 5.05. Remedies; Priorities. 
 (a) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing for any Series, and the Notes of such Series have been accelerated under Section 5.03, the Indenture Trustee shall (subject to Sections 5.06 and
11.17), do one or more of the following: 
  

	 	(i)	institute Proceedings as provided in Section 5.04(b); 

  

	 	(ii)	sell all or a portion of the Issuer’s interest in the Principal Receivables in an amount not to exceed the product of (i) the Allocation Amount for the accelerated Series
and (ii) one divided by the excess of one over the Discount Percentage, and the related Finance Charge Receivables, as shall constitute a part of Trust Estate (or rights of interest therein), at one or more public or private sales called and
conducted in any manner permitted by law; and 

  

	 	(iii)	take any other appropriate action to protect and enforce the rights and remedies of the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders of the accelerated Series hereunder;


 provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee may not exercise the remedy in subparagraph (ii) above unless (A) the
Holders of 100% of the Outstanding principal amount of the Notes of the accelerated Series consent thereto, (B) the Indenture Trustee determines that (the Indenture Trustee may rely upon the opinion of an Independent investment banking firm or
accounting firm of national reputation in making such determination) the proceeds of such sale distributable to the Noteholders of the affected Series are sufficient to discharge in full all amounts then due and unpaid upon such Notes for principal
and interest or (C) the Indenture Trustee determines that (the Indenture Trustee may rely upon the opinion of an Independent investment banking firm or accounting firm of national reputation in making such determination) the Trust Estate may
not continue to provide sufficient funds for the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes as they would have become due if the Notes had not been declared due and payable, and the Indenture Trustee obtains the consent of the Holders of not
less than 66 2/3% of the Outstanding principal amount of the Notes of each Class of such affected Series. In determining such sufficiency or insufficiency with respect to clauses (B) and (C), the Indenture Trustee may, at the expense of the
Servicer, but need not, obtain and rely upon an opinion of an Independent investment banking or accounting firm of national reputation as to the feasibility of such proposed action and as to the sufficiency of the Trust Estate for such purpose.

 (b) If the Indenture Trustee collects any money or property for a Series pursuant to this Article V following the acceleration of
the maturities of the Notes for such Series pursuant to Section 5.03 (so long as such declaration shall not have been rescinded or annulled), it shall pay out the money or property in the following order (unless otherwise provided in the
related Indenture Supplement): 
  

 40 








 FIRST: to the Indenture Trustee for amounts due pursuant to Section 6.07
hereof and Section 6.04 of the Transfer and Servicing Agreement; 
 SECOND: to Holders of Notes of such Series for
amounts due and unpaid on such Notes for interest, in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind except for preferences or priorities specified in and in accordance
with the related Indenture Supplement, according to the amounts due and payable on such Notes for interest according to the terms of the related Indenture Supplement; 
 THIRD: to Holders of Notes of such Series for amounts due and unpaid on such Notes for principal, in respect of which or for the benefit
of which such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind except for preferences or priorities specified in and in accordance with the related Indenture Supplement, according to the amounts due and payable on such
Notes for principal according to the terms of the related Indenture Supplement; 
 FOURTH: to Holders of Notes of such Series
for amounts, if any, that remain owing to such Holders of Notes of such Series after the applications of amounts described in SECOND and THIRD above, in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected, ratably, without
preference or priority of any kind except for preferences or priorities specified in and in accordance with the related Indenture Supplement, according to the amounts remaining due and payable on such Notes according to the terms of the related
Indenture Supplement; 
 FIFTH: to any Series Enhancer, if any, for such Series for amounts due and unpaid to such Series
Enhancer under the Series Enhancement, in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected, according to the terms of the Series Enhancement; and 
 SIXTH: to the Issuer, free and clear of the lien of this Indenture, for distribution pursuant to the Trust Agreement. 
 (c) After the application of money or property referred to in Section 5.05(b) for an accelerated Series, amounts then held in the Collection
Account, Special Funding Account or Series Accounts for such Series and any amounts available under the Series Enhancement for such Series shall be used to make payments to the Holders of the Notes of such Series and the Series Enhancer for such
Series in accordance with the terms of this Indenture, the related Indenture Supplement and the Series Enhancement for such Series. Following the sale of the Trust Estate (or portion thereof) for a Series and the application of the proceeds of such
sale to such Series and the application of the amounts then held in the Collection Account, the Special Funding Account and any Series Accounts for such Series as are allocated to such Series and any amounts available under the Series Enhancement
for such Series, such Series shall no longer be entitled to any allocation of Collections or other property constituting the Trust Estate under this Indenture, any and all amounts remaining due on the Notes of such Series shall be extinguished and
shall not revive, the Notes of such Series shall be cancelled, and the Notes of such Series shall no longer be Outstanding. 
  

 41 








 (d) The Indenture Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Noteholders pursuant
to this Section. At least fifteen (15) days before such record date, the Indenture Trustee shall mail to each Noteholder a notice that states the record date, the payment date and the amount to be paid. 
 Section 5.06. Optional Preservation of the Trust Estate. 
 If the Notes of any Series have been declared to be due and payable under Section 5.03 following an Event of Default and such declaration and its consequences have not been rescinded and annulled, and the
Indenture Trustee has not received directions from the Noteholders under Section 5.12, the Indenture Trustee may, but need not, elect to maintain possession of the portion of the Trust Estate allocated to such Notes. It is the desire of
the parties hereto and the Noteholders that there be at all times sufficient funds for the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes, and the Indenture Trustee shall take such desire into account when determining whether or not to maintain
possession of the Trust Estate allocated to such Notes. In determining whether to maintain possession of the Trust Estate, the Indenture Trustee may, but need not, obtain and rely upon an opinion of an Independent investment banking or accounting
firm of national reputation as to the feasibility of such proposed action and as to the sufficiency of the Trust Estate for such purpose. 
 Section 5.07. Limitation on Suits. 
 No Noteholder shall have any right to institute any Proceedings, judicial or
otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless: 
 (a)
the Holders of not less than 25% of the aggregate Outstanding principal amount of all Series (or, with respect to any such action, suit or proceeding that does not relate to all Series, Holders of not less than 25% of the aggregate Outstanding
principal amount of all Series to which such action or proceeding relates) have made written request to the Indenture Trustee to institute such proceeding in its own name as Indenture Trustee; 
 (b) such Noteholder or Noteholders have previously given written notice to the Indenture Trustee of a continuing Event of Default; 
 (c) such Noteholder or Noteholders have offered to the Indenture Trustee reasonable indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred
in compliance with such request; 
 (d) the Indenture Trustee for sixty (60) days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of
indemnity has failed to institute any such Proceeding; and 
 (e) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the
Indenture Trustee during such sixty-day period by the Holders of a majority of the Outstanding principal amount of the Notes of such Series (or all Series, as applicable); 
 it being understood and intended that no one or more Noteholders of the affected Series shall have any right in any manner whatsoever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb
or prejudice the rights of any other Noteholders or to obtain or to seek 
  

 42 








 to obtain priority or preference over any other Noteholders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the
manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all the Noteholders except as may otherwise be specified in any applicable Indenture Supplement. 
 In the event the Indenture Trustee shall receive conflicting or inconsistent requests and indemnity from two (2) or more groups of Noteholders of the affected Series or of all Series, as the case maybe, each
representing less than a majority of the Outstanding principal amount of Notes under such Series, the Indenture Trustee in its sole discretion may determine what action, if any, shall be taken, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture.

 Section 5.08. Unconditional Rights of Noteholders to Receive Principal and Interest. 
 Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, each Noteholder shall have the right which is absolute and unconditional to receive payment of the
principal (and premium, if any) of and interest in respect of such Note as such principal and interest becomes due and payable and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such right shall not be impaired without the consent of
such Noteholder. 
 Section 5.09. Restoration of Rights and Remedies. 
 If the Indenture Trustee or any Noteholder has instituted any Proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such Proceeding has been
discontinued or abandoned, or has been determined adversely to the Indenture Trustee or such Noteholder, then and in every such case the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholder shall, subject to any determination in such Proceeding, be
restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders shall continue as though no such Proceeding had been instituted. 
 Section 5.10. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. 
 Except as provided in Section 5.05, no right, remedy, power or privilege herein conferred upon or reserved to the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders is intended to be exclusive of any other right,
remedy, power or privilege, and every right, remedy, power or privilege shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative. The assertion or exercise of any right or remedy shall not preclude any other further assertion or the exercise of any
other appropriate right or remedy. 
 Section 5.11. Delay or Omission Not Waiver. 
 No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Indenture Trustee or of any Noteholder or other Person, any right or remedy
occurring hereunder upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article V may be exercised from time to
time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Indenture Trustee or by the Noteholders, as the case may be. 
  

 43 








 Section 5.12. Control By Noteholders. 
 The Holders of a majority of the Outstanding principal amount of the Notes of any Series, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing for such
Series, shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any Proceeding for any remedy available to the Indenture Trustee with respect to the Notes of such Series or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Indenture
Trustee with respect to the Notes of such Series; provided, however, that, subject to Section 6.01 and Section 6.03(d): 
 (a) the Indenture Trustee shall have the right to decline any such direction if the Indenture Trustee, after being advised by counsel, determines that the action so directed is in conflict with any rule of law or with
this Indenture; and 
 (b) the Indenture Trustee shall have the right to decline any such direction if the Indenture Trustee in good faith
shall, by a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee, determine that the Proceedings so directed would be illegal or involve the Indenture Trustee in personal liability or be unjustly prejudicial to the Noteholders not parties to such direction.

 Section 5.13. Waiver of Past Defaults. 
 Prior to the declaration of the acceleration of the maturity of the Notes of a Series as provided in Section 5.03, the Holders of a majority of the Outstanding principal amount of the Notes of such Series
may, on behalf of all such Noteholders, waive in writing any past default with respect to the Notes of such Series and its consequences (including an Event of Default), except a default: 
 (a) in the payment of the principal (or premium, if any) or interest in respect of any Note of such Series, or 
 (b) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof that under Section 9.02 hereof cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the
Noteholder of each Outstanding Note of such Series affected. 
 Upon any such written waiver, such default, and any Event of Default arising
therefrom, shall cease to exist and shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture; provided that no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent
thereon. 
 Section 5.14. Undertaking for Costs. 
 All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Noteholder by its acceptance of a Note shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy
under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Indenture Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Indenture Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such
court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant;
provided that the provisions of this Section shall not apply to (a) any suit instituted by the Indenture Trustee, (b) any suit instituted by any Noteholder, or group of 
  

 44 








 Noteholders (in compliance with Section 5.07), in each case holding in the aggregate more than 10% of the
principal balance of the Outstanding Notes of a Series, or (c) any suit instituted by any Noteholder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of or interest on any Note on or after the date on which any of such amounts was due
pursuant to the terms of such Note or the applicable Indenture Supplement (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the applicable Redemption Date). 
 Section 5.15. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. 
 The Issuer covenants (to the extent that it
may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may adversely
affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Issuer (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the
execution of any power herein granted to the Indenture Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted. 
 Section 5.16. Action on Notes. 
 The Indenture Trustee’s right to seek and recover judgment
on the Notes or under the Indenture shall not be affected by the seeking or obtaining of or application for any other relief under or with respect to the Indenture. Neither the lien of the Indenture nor any rights or remedies of the Indenture
Trustee or the Noteholders shall be impaired by the recovery of any judgment by the Indenture Trustee against the Issuer or by the levy of any execution under such judgment upon any portion of the Trust Estate. Subject to Section 5.05,
any money or property collected by the Indenture Trustee shall be applied as specified in the applicable Indenture Supplement. 
 Section 5.17. Sale of Receivables. 
 (a) If the Receivables are to be sold under the terms of
Section 5.05(a)(ii), the Indenture Trustee, or its agents, shall, unless another method of sale is directed in writing by the holders of a majority of the Outstanding principal amount of the Notes of all Series, use its best efforts to
sell, dispose or otherwise liquidate the Receivables by the solicitation of competitive bids and on terms equivalent to the best purchase offer as determined by the Indenture Trustee. The Indenture Trustee may from time to time postpone any sale by
public announcement made at the time and place of such sale. The Indenture Trustee hereby expressly waives its right to any amount fixed by law as compensation for any sale. 
 (b) The Indenture Trustee is hereby irrevocably appointed the agent and attorney-in-fact of the Issuer in connection with any sale of Receivables
pursuant to Section 5.05(a)(ii). No purchaser or transferee at any such sale shall be bound to ascertain the Indenture Trustee’s authority, inquire into the satisfaction of any conditions precedent or see to the application of any
monies. 
 (c) In its exercise of the foreclosure remedy pursuant to Section 5.05(a)(ii), the Indenture Trustee shall solicit
bids from Permitted Assignees for the sale of Principal Receivables in an amount equal to the product of (i) the Allocation Amount of the accelerated 
  

 45 








 Series of Notes at the time of sale and (ii) one divided by the excess of one over the Discount Percentage, and the
related Finance Charge Receivables, as shall constitute a part of the Trust Estate. The Transferor or any of its affiliates who are Permitted Assignees (other than CompuCredit) shall be entitled to participate in, and to receive from the Indenture
Trustee a copy of each other bid submitted in connection with, such bidding process; provided that (a) at least one participant other than the Transferor and any of its affiliates must submit a bona fide offer, and (b) the Transferor and
any of its affiliates are prohibited from bidding an amount which exceeds fair value for the transferred assets. The Indenture Trustee shall sell such Receivables (or interests therein) to the bidder with the highest cash purchase offer. The
proceeds of any such sale shall be applied in accordance with Section 5.05(b). In connection with any such sale of Receivables or interests therein, the Indenture Trustee may contract with agents to assist in such sales.

 ARTICLE VI 
 THE INDENTURE TRUSTEE

 (a) If an Event of Default with respect to a Series of Notes has occurred (which has not been cured or waived) and a Responsible Officer of the Indenture
Trustee shall have actual knowledge or written notice of such Event of Default, the Indenture Trustee shall, prior to the receipt of directions, if any, from the Holders of not less than 50% of the Outstanding principal amount of the Notes
Outstanding of such Series, exercise the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such
person’s own affairs. 
 (b) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default: (i) the Indenture Trustee undertakes to perform
such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied duties or covenants by the Indenture Trustee shall be read into this Indenture; and (ii) in the absence of bad faith or negligence on its part the
Indenture Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Indenture Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture;
provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee, upon receipt of any resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the Indenture Trustee which are specifically required to
be furnished pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, shall examine them to determine whether they substantially conform to the requirements of this Indenture or any Indenture Supplement. The Indenture Trustee shall give prompt written notice to
the Servicer, the Issuer and each Rating Agency of any material lack of conformity of any such instrument to the applicable requirements of this Indenture discovered by the Indenture Trustee which would entitle some or all of the Holders of the
Notes of a Series or Class to take any action pursuant to this Indenture or any Indenture Supplement. 
 (c) In case an Early Redemption
Event or Reinvestment Event with respect to a Series of Notes has occurred and is continuing and a Responsible Officer shall have actual knowledge or written notice of such Early Redemption Event or Reinvestment Event, the Indenture Trustee shall,
prior to the receipt of directions, if any, from the Holders of not less than 50% of the Outstanding principal amount of the Notes Outstanding of such Series, exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same
degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs. 
 (d) No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Indenture Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct; provided,
however, that: 
 (i) this paragraph (d) shall not be construed to limit the effect of paragraphs (a) or
(b) or (c) of this Section 6.01; 
  

 47 








 (ii) the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good
faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it shall be proven that the Indenture Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; 
 (iii) the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with this Indenture and/or the direction of the Holders of a majority

Outstanding to which such action relates) relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Indenture Trustee, or for exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Indenture Trustee, under this
Indenture; 
 (iv) subject to the provisions of the TIA and paragraphs (a) and (b) and (c) of this
Section 6.01, the Indenture Trustee shall not be required to take notice of or be deemed to have notice or knowledge of any Event of Default, Early Redemption Event, Reinvestment Event or any other default unless a Responsible Officer of

 (v) subject to the provisions of the TIA and paragraphs (a) and (b) and (c) of this Section 6.01, the Indenture
Trustee shall have no duty (A) to see any recording, filing or depositing of this Indenture or any agreement referred to herein or any financing statement or amendments to a financing statement evidencing a security interest, or to see to the
maintenance of any such recording or filing or depositing or to any rerecording, refiling or redepositing of any thereof, (B) to see any insurance or (C) to see to the payment or discharge of any tax, assessment, or other governmental
charge or any lien or encumbrance of any kind owing with respect to, assessed or levied against, any part of the Trust Estate other than from funds available in the Collection Account. 
 (e) No provision of this Indenture shall require the Indenture Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the
performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers if there is reasonable ground for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to
it, and none of the provisions contained in this Indenture shall in any event require the Indenture Trustee to perform, or be responsible for the manner of performance of, any obligations of the Servicer under the Transfer and Servicing Agreement
except during such time, if any, as the Indenture Trustee shall be the successor to, and be vested with the rights, duties, powers and privileges of, the Servicer in accordance with the terms of Article VIII of the Transfer and Servicing Agreement.

 (f) Every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Indenture Trustee is subject to subsections (a), (b), (c),
(d) and (e) of this Section 6.01.

 48 








 substitute payment obligation for a Receivable initially transferred to the Issuer under the Transfer and Servicing
Agreement, (ii) adding any other investment, obligation or security to the Issuer or (iii) withdrawing from the Issuer any Receivables (except as otherwise provided in the Receivables Purchase Agreements and the Transfer and Servicing
Agreement). 
 (h) The Indenture Trustee shall have no responsibility or liability for investment losses on Eligible Investments (other than
as an obligor on any Eligible Investments on which the institution acting as Indenture Trustee is an obligor). 
 (i) The Indenture Trustee
shall notify each Rating Agency promptly (but in no event later than one (1) Business Day following the occurrence) of any Default, Event of Default, Reinvestment Event, Early Redemption Event or potential Reinvestment Event or Early Redemption
Event of which a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee has written notice or actual knowledge. 
 (j) In the event that the Paying
Agent or the Note Registrar shall fail to perform any obligation, duty or agreement in the manner or on the day required to be performed by the Paying Agent or the Note Registrar, as the case may be, under this Indenture, the Indenture Trustee shall
be obligated promptly upon actual knowledge of a Responsible Officer thereof to perform such obligation, duty or agreement in the manner so required. 
 (k) Every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to the Indenture Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section and to the applicable
provisions of the TIA. 
 Section 6.02. Notice of Early Redemption Event, Reinvestment Event or Event of Default. 
 Upon the occurrence of any Early Redemption Event, Reinvestment Event or Event of Default of which a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee has
actual knowledge or has received notice thereof, the Indenture Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Noteholders as their names and addresses appear on the Note Register and the Rating Agencies, notice of such Early Redemption Event, Reinvestment
Event or Event of Default hereunder known to a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee within thirty (30) days after it occurs or within ten (10) Business Days after such Responsible Officer receives such notice or obtains actual
knowledge, if later. 
 Section 6.03. Certain Matters Affecting the Indenture Trustee. 
 Except as otherwise provided in Section 6.01 hereof: 
 (a) the Indenture Trustee may conclusively rely and shall fully be protected in acting or refraining from acting in accordance with any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, Officer’s Certificate,

evidence is specifically prescribed herein) may, in the absence of bad faith on its part, rely upon an Officer’s Certificate of the Issuer; 
 (c) as a condition to the taking, suffering or omitting of any action by it hereunder, the Indenture Trustee may consult with counsel and the advice of such counsel or an Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and
protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance therewith; 
 (d) the
Indenture Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture, or to honor the request or direction of any of the Noteholders pursuant to this Indenture to institute, conduct or defend any
litigation hereunder in relation hereto, unless such Noteholders shall have offered to the Indenture Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request
or direction; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall relieve the Indenture Trustee of the obligations, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (which has not been cured or waived) to exercise such of the rights and
powers vested in it by this Indenture and to use the same degree of care or skill in their exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his or her own affairs; 
 (e) the Indenture Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement,
instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, note or other paper or document, believed by it to be genuine, but the Indenture Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such

the purpose of establishing the presence or absence of defects, the compliance by the Issuer with its representations and warranties or for any other purpose; 
 (i) whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Indenture Trustee shall be subject to the
provisions of this Section; 
 (j) the Indenture Trustee shall have no liability with respect to the acts or omissions of the Servicer
(except and to the extent the Indenture Trustee is the Servicer), 
  

 50 








 including acts or omissions in connection with the servicing, management or administration of Receivables; calculations
made by the Servicer (except to the extent the Indenture Trustee is the Servicer) whether or not reported to the Issuer or Indenture Trustee; and deposits into or withdrawals from any accounts or funds established pursuant to the terms of this

reimburse the Indenture Trustee for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it (including without limitation expenses incurred in connection with notices or other communications to the Noteholders), disbursements and advances
incurred or made by the Indenture Trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of this Indenture (including but in no way limited to any expenses incurred pursuant to Section 5.04, Section 5.05 and

Notes. 
 (b) The Servicer’s payment obligations to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section shall survive the resignation and
removal of the Indenture Trustee and the discharge of this Indenture. 
 (c) When the Indenture Trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence

bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law. 
 (d) Anything in this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the Indenture
Trustee be liable for special, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), even if the Indenture Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the

 Section 6.08. Replacement of Indenture Trustee. 
 (a) The Indenture Trustee may resign at any time by giving thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Issuer. The Holders of a majority of the

 (i) the Indenture Trustee fails to comply with
Section 6.11; 
 (ii) the Indenture Trustee shall consent to the appointment of a conservator or receiver or
liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to the Indenture Trustee or all or substantially all of its property, or a decree or order of a court or agency or
supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the premises for the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the winding-up or
liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered against the Indenture Trustee; or the Indenture Trustee shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, file a petition to take advantage of any applicable
insolvency or reorganization statute, make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors or voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations; or 
  

 52 








 (iii) the Indenture Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting. 
 If the Indenture Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Indenture Trustee for any reason (the Indenture Trustee in such event being
referred to herein as the retiring Indenture Trustee), the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor Indenture Trustee, which successor shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Servicer. 
 (b) Any resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee and appointment of successor indenture trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section
shall not become effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor indenture trustee as provided in this Section 6.08(b). 
 (i) Any successor indenture trustee appointed as provided herein shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Issuer, to the Servicer and to its predecessor indenture trustee an instrument accepting such appointment
hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor indenture trustee shall become effective and such successor indenture trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers,
duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as Indenture Trustee herein. The predecessor indenture trustee shall deliver to the successor indenture trustee all documents or copies thereof and
statements and all money and other property held by it hereunder; and the Issuer and the predecessor indenture 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 indenture trustee all such rights, powers, duties and obligations. 
 (ii) No successor
indenture trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section unless at the time of such acceptance such successor indenture trustee shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 6.11. 
 (iii) Other than pursuant to Section 6.08(c), notwithstanding any other provisions herein, the appointment of a successor
indenture trustee shall not be effective unless the Rating Agency Condition shall have been satisfied. 
 (iv) Upon acceptance
of appointment by a successor indenture trustee as provided in this Section, such successor indenture trustee shall provide notice of such succession hereunder to all Noteholders and the Servicer shall provide such notice to each Rating Agency and
each Series Enhancer. 
 (c) If a successor Indenture Trustee does not take office within thirty (30) days after the retiring Indenture
Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Indenture Trustee, the Issuer or any Holder of a Note may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee. 
 (d) If the Indenture Trustee ceases to be eligible in accordance with Section 6.11, any Noteholder may petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the removal of the Indenture Trustee and the appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee. 
  

 53 








 (e) Notwithstanding the replacement of the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section, the
Servicer’s obligations under Section 6.07 hereof and Section 6.04 of the Transfer and Servicing Agreement shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Indenture Trustee. No Indenture Trustee under this Indenture shall be
personally liable for any action or omission of any successor indenture trustee. 
 Section 6.09. Successor Indenture Trustee by
Merger. 
 If the Indenture Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all its corporate trust
business or assets to, another corporation or banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation or banking association without any further act shall be the successor Indenture Trustee; provided, that such corporation or
banking association shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under Section 6.11. 
 In case at the time such successor by
merger, conversion, consolidation or transfer to the Indenture Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture any of the Notes shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Indenture Trustee may adopt the
certificate of authentication of any predecessor indenture trustee and deliver such Notes so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Notes shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Indenture Trustee may authenticate such
Notes in the name of the successor to the Indenture Trustee; and in all such cases such certificates shall have the full force which it is anywhere provided in the Notes or in this Indenture that the certificate of the Indenture Trustee shall have.

 Section 6.10. Appointment of Co-Indenture Trustee or Separate Indenture Trustee. 
 (a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirement of any jurisdiction in which
any part of the Trust Estate may at the time be located, the Indenture Trustee shall have the power and may execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons to act as a co-trustee or co-trustees, or separate trustee or separate
trustees, of all or any part of the Trust Estate, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the Noteholders, such title to the Trust Estate, or any part hereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this
Section, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Indenture Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under
Section 6.11 and no notice to Noteholders of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required under Section 6.08 hereof. 
 (b) Every separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and conditions: 
 (i) all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Indenture Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and
exercised or performed by the Indenture Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being understood that such separate trustee or co-trustee is not authorized to act separately without the Indenture Trustee joining in such act),
except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed 
  

 54 








 the Indenture Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event
such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to the Trust Estate or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed singly by such separate trustee or co-trustee, but solely at the
direction of the Indenture Trustee; 
 (ii) no trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other
trustee hereunder; and 
 (iii) the Indenture Trustee may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee.

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

 (d) Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time constitute the Indenture Trustee its agent or attorney-in-fact with full power and
authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this Indenture on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its
estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the Indenture Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor trustee. 
 Section 6.11. Eligibility; Disqualification. 
 The Indenture Trustee shall at all times satisfy the requirements of TIA §310(a). The Indenture Trustee shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published
annual report of condition and its long-term unsecured debt shall be rated at least Baa3 by Moody’s and at least BBB- by Standard & Poor’s. The Indenture Trustee shall comply with TIA §310(b), including the optional provision
permitted by the second sentence of TIA §310(b)(9); provided, however, that there shall be excluded from the operation of TIA §310(b)(1) any indenture or indentures under which other securities of the Issuer are outstanding
if the requirements for such exclusion set forth in TIA §310(b)(1) are met. The Indenture Trustee (1) shall meet the requirements of Section 26(a)(1) of the Investment Company Act, (2) shall not be an Affiliate of the Issuer, the
Transferor, the Servicer, any Seller or the Administrator and (3) shall not offer or provide credit or credit enhancement to the Issuer. In case at any time the Indenture Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of
this Section, the Indenture Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 6.08. 
  

 55

Indenture Supplement and each other Transaction Document to which it is a party; 
 (iii) each of this Indenture and each
other Transaction Document to which it is a party has been duly executed and delivered by the Indenture Trustee and constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation in accordance with its terms; and 
 (iv) the Indenture Trustee meets the eligibility requirements set forth in Section 6.11. 
 Section 6.13. Preferential Collection of Claims Against Issuer. 
 The Indenture Trustee shall comply with TIA §311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA §311(b). An Indenture Trustee who has
resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA §311(a) to the extent indicated therein. 
 Section 6.14. Tax Returns. In
the event the Issuer shall be required to file tax returns, the Servicer shall prepare or shall cause to be prepared such tax returns and shall provide such tax returns to the Owner Trustee (on behalf of the Issuer) for signature at least five
(5) days before such tax returns are due to be filed. The Servicer, in accordance with the terms of each Indenture Supplement, shall also prepare or shall cause to be prepared all tax information required by law to be distributed to Noteholders
and shall deliver such information to the Owner Trustee (on behalf of the Issuer) at least five (5) days prior to the date it is required by law to be distributed to Noteholders. The Issuer will cause the Owner Trustee, upon written request, to
furnish the Servicer with all such information known to the Owner Trustee as may be reasonably requested and required in connection with the preparation of all tax returns of the Issuer. The Owner Trustee (on behalf of the Issuer) shall, upon
request, execute such returns. In no event shall the Owner Trustee be personally liable for any liabilities, costs or expenses of the Issuer or any Noteholder arising under any tax law, including without limitation, federal, state or local income or
excise taxes or any other tax imposed on or measured by income (or any interest or penalty with respect thereto arising from a failure to comply therewith). 
 Section 6.15. Custody of the Trust Estate. 
 The Indenture Trustee shall hold such of the Trust
Estate (and any other collateral that may be granted to the Indenture Trustee) as consists of instruments, certificated securities, negotiable documents, money, goods, or tangible chattel paper in the State of New York or the State of Minnesota. The
Indenture Trustee shall hold such of the Trust Estate (and any other collateral that may be granted to the Indenture Trustee) as constitutes investment property (other than certificated securities) through a securities intermediary, which securities
intermediary shall 
  

 56 








 agree in writing with the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer that (I) such investment property shall at all times be
credited to a securities account of the Indenture Trustee, (II) such securities intermediary shall treat the Indenture Trustee as entitled to exercise the rights that comprise each financial asset credited to such securities account, (III) all
property credited to such securities account shall be treated as a financial asset, (IV) such securities intermediary shall comply with entitlement orders originated by the Indenture Trustee without the further consent of any other person or entity,
(V) such securities intermediary will not agree with any person or entity other than the Indenture Trustee to comply with entitlement orders originated by any person or entity other than the Indenture Trustee, (VI) such securities account and
the property credited thereto shall not be subject to any lien, security interest, encumbrance, claim or right of set-off in favor of such securities intermediary or anyone claiming through it (other than the Indenture Trustee), (VII) such agreement
shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York, and (VIII) the State of New York shall be the “securities intermediary’s jurisdiction” of such securities intermediary for purposes of the New York UCC. The Indenture Trustee
shall hold such of the Trust Estate (and any other collateral that may be granted to the Indenture Trustee) as constitutes a deposit account through a bank, which bank shall agree in writing with the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer that
(i) such bank shall comply with instructions originated by the Indenture Trustee directing disposition of the funds in the deposit account without further consent of any other person or entity, (ii) such bank will not agree with any person
or entity other than the Indenture Trustee to comply with instructions originated by any person or entity other than the Indenture Trustee, (iii) such deposit account and the money on deposit therein shall not be subject to any lien, security
interest, encumbrance, claim or right of set-off in favor of such bank or anyone claiming through it (other than the Indenture Trustee), (iv) such agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York, and (v) the State of New
York shall be the “bank’s jurisdiction” of such bank for purposes of Article 9 of the New York UCC. Terms used in this Section 6.15 that are defined in the New York UCC and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning set
forth in the New York UCC. Except as permitted by this Section 6.15, the Indenture Trustee shall not hold any part of the Trust Estate (or any other collateral that may be granted to the Indenture Trustee) through an agent or a nominee.

 ARTICLE VIII 
 ALLOCATION AND APPLICATION OF COLLECTIONS 
 Section 8.01. Collection of Money. 
 Except as otherwise expressly provided herein and in the related Indenture Supplement, the Indenture Trustee may demand payment or delivery of, and shall receive and collect, directly and without intervention or assistance of any fiscal
agent or other intermediary, all money and other property payable to or receivable by the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Indenture. The Indenture Trustee shall hold all such money and property received by it in trust for the Noteholders and
shall apply it as provided in this Indenture. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Indenture, if any default occurs in the making of any payment or performance under the Transfer and Servicing Agreement or any other Transaction Document,
the Indenture Trustee may, and upon the request of the Holders of a majority of the Outstanding principal amount of the Notes Outstanding shall, take such action as may be appropriate to enforce such payment or performance, including the institution
and prosecution of appropriate Proceedings. Any such action shall be without prejudice to any right to claim an Early Redemption Event, Reinvestment Event or an Event of Default under this Indenture and to proceed thereafter as provided in
Article V hereof. 
 Section 8.02. Collection Account and Special Funding Account. 
 (a) The Servicer, for the benefit of the Noteholders, shall establish and maintain, initially with the institution serving as Indenture Trustee, in the
name of the Indenture Trustee an Eligible Deposit Account bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds and other property held therein are held for the benefit of the Noteholders (the “Collection Account”). The Indenture
Trustee shall possess all right, title and interest in all money, instruments, investment property and other property from time to time credited to or on deposit in the Collection Account and in all proceeds, earnings, income, revenue, dividends and
distributions thereof for the benefit of the Noteholders. 
 (b) The Collection Account shall be under the sole dominion and control of the
Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders. The Servicer shall have no right of setoff or banker’s lien against any funds and other property held in the Collection Account for any amount owed to it by the Indenture Trustee, the
Issuer, any Noteholder or any Series Enhancer. If, at any time, the Collection Account ceases to be an Eligible Deposit Account, the Indenture Trustee (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall within ten (10) Business Days (or such longer period,
not to exceed thirty (30) calendar days, as to which each Rating Agency may consent) establish a new Collection Account meeting the conditions specified above, transfer any money, instruments, investment property and other property from the old
Collection Account to such new Collection Account and from the date such new Collection Account is established, it shall be the “Collection Account.” Pursuant to the authority granted to the Servicer under the 
  

 59 








 Transfer and Servicing Agreement, the Servicer shall have the power, revocable by the Indenture Trustee, to instruct the
Indenture Trustee to make withdrawals and payments from the Collection Account for the purposes of carrying out the Servicer’s or the Indenture Trustee’s duties hereunder and under the Transfer and Servicing Agreement. The Servicer shall
reduce deposits into the Collection Account payable by the Issuer on any date on which Collections are deposited into the Collection Account to the extent the Issuer is entitled to receive funds from the Collection Account on such Deposit Date and
shall pay such funds to the Issuer, free and clear of the lien of this Indenture, but only to the extent such reduction would not reduce the Transferor Amount to an amount less than the Required Transferor Amount. 
 (c) Funds held in the Collection Account (other than investment earnings and amounts deposited pursuant to Sections 2.06 or 8.01 of the Transfer and
Servicing Agreement or Section 10.02 of this Indenture) shall at the written direction of the Servicer be invested by the Indenture Trustee in Eligible Investments selected by the Servicer. In the absence of written directions from the
Servicer, all funds shall remain uninvested. All such Eligible Investments shall be held by the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders under Section 6.15. Investments of funds representing Collections collected during any
Monthly Period shall be invested in Eligible Investments that will mature so that such funds will be available no later than the close of business on each Transfer Date following such Monthly Period in amounts sufficient to the extent of such funds
to make the required distributions on the following Distribution Date. No such Eligible Investment shall be disposed of prior to its maturity; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee may sell, liquidate or dispose of any such
Eligible Investment before its maturity, at the written direction of the Servicer, if such sale, liquidation or disposal would not result in a loss of all or part of the principal portion of such Eligible Investment or if, prior to the maturity of
such Eligible Investment, a default occurs in the payment of principal, interest or any other amount with respect to such Eligible Investment. Unless directed by the Servicer, funds held in the Collection Account on a Transfer Date with respect to
the immediately succeeding Distribution Date are not required to be invested overnight. On each Distribution Date, all interest and other investment earnings (net of losses and investment expenses) on funds held in the Collection Account shall be
treated as Collections of Finance Charge Receivables with respect to the last day of the related Monthly Period except as otherwise specified in any Indenture Supplement. The Indenture Trustee shall bear no responsibility or liability for any losses
resulting from investment or reinvestment of any funds in accordance with this Section nor for the selection of Eligible Investments in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture (other than Eligible Investments on which the institution acting
as Indenture Trustee is an obligor). In addition, the Indenture Trustee shall have no liability in respect of the losses incurred as a result of the liquidation of any Eligible Investment prior to its stated maturity or the failure of the Servicer
to provide timely written investment direction. 
 (d) The Servicer, for the benefit of the Noteholders, shall establish and maintain,
initially with the institution acting as Indenture Trustee, in the name of the Indenture Trustee, an Eligible Deposit Account bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds and other property held therein are held for the benefit of the
Noteholders (the “Special Funding Account”). The Indenture Trustee shall possess all right, title and interest in all money, instruments, investment property and other property credited from time to time to the Special Funding
Account and in all proceeds, dividends, distributions, earnings, income and revenue thereof for the benefit of the Noteholders. The Special Funding Account shall be under the sole dominion and control of the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the
Noteholders. The Servicer 
  

 60 








 shall have no right of setoff or banker’s lien against any funds and other property held in the Special Funding
Account for any amount owed to it by the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer, any Noteholder or any Series Enhancer. If, at any time, the Special Funding Account ceases to be an Eligible Deposit Account, the Indenture Trustee (or the Servicer on its
behalf) shall within ten (10) Business Days (or such longer period, not to exceed thirty (30) calendar days, as to which each Rating Agency may consent) establish a new Special Funding Account meeting the conditions specified above,
transfer any money, instruments, investment property and other property from the old Special Funding Account to such new Special Funding Account and from the date such new Special Funding Account is established, it shall be the “Special Funding
Account.” 
 (e) Funds held in the Special Funding Account shall at the written direction of the Servicer be invested by the Indenture
Trustee in Eligible Investments selected by the Servicer. In the absence of written directions from the Servicer, all funds shall remain uninvested. All such Eligible Investments shall be held by the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the
Noteholders under Section 6.15. Funds and other property held in the Special Funding Account on any date will be invested in Eligible Investments that will mature so that such funds will be available no later than the close of business
on the Transfer Date following such date. No such Eligible Investment shall be disposed of prior to its maturity; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee may sell, liquidate or dispose of an Eligible Investment before its maturity, at
the written direction of the Servicer, if such sale, liquidation or disposal would not result in a loss of all or part of the principal portion of such Eligible Investment or if, prior to the maturity of such Eligible Investment, a default occurs in
the payment of principal, interest or any other amount with respect to such Eligible Investment. Unless directed by the Servicer, funds and other property held in the Special Funding Account on a Transfer Date with respect to the immediately
succeeding Distribution Date are not required to be invested overnight. On each Distribution Date, all interest and other investment earnings (net of losses and investment expenses) on funds and other property held in the Special Funding Account
shall be treated as Collections of Finance Charge Receivables with respect to the last day of the related Monthly Period except as otherwise specified in the related Indenture Supplement. On each Business Day on which funds and other property are
deposited in or credited to the Special Funding Account and on which no Series is in an Accumulation Period or Redemption Period, the Servicer shall determine the amount (if any) by which the Transferor Amount exceeds the Required Transferor Amount
on such date and shall instruct the Indenture Trustee in writing to withdraw any such excess from the Special Funding Account and pay such amount to the Holders of the Transferor Certificates; provided, however, that, if an
Accumulation Period or Redemption Period has commenced and is continuing with respect to one or more Series of Outstanding Notes, any funds held in the Special Funding Account shall be treated as Shared Principal Collections and shall be allocated
and distributed in accordance with this Indenture, the Transfer and Servicing Agreement and each Indenture Supplement. 
 Section 8.03.
Rights of Noteholders. 
 As set forth in the Granting Clauses, the Trust Estate secures the obligation of the Issuer to pay the
Holders of the Notes of each Series principal (and premium, if any) and interest and, if applicable, to pay the Series Enhancers for Series amounts payable under the Series Enhancement for each such Series and the other amounts payable pursuant to
this Indenture and the related Indenture Supplement. Except as specifically set forth in the Indenture Supplement 
  

 61 








 with respect thereto, the Notes of any Series or Class shall not have rights to payment from any Series Account or Series
Enhancement allocated for the benefit of any other Series or Class. 
 Section 8.04. Allocation of Trust Estate to Series or
Groups. 
 To the extent so provided in the Indenture Supplement for any Series or in an amendment to this Indenture executed pursuant to
Section 9.01(a), Receivables conveyed to the Issuer pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Transfer and Servicing Agreement and Receivables or Participation Interests conveyed to the Issuer pursuant to Section 2.09 of the Transfer and
Servicing Agreement or any Participation Interest Supplement, and all Collections received with respect thereto may be allocated or applied in whole or in part to one or more Series or Groups as may be provided in such Indenture Supplement or
amendment; provided, however, that any such allocation or application shall be effective only upon satisfaction of the following conditions: 
 (a) on or before the fifth (5th) Business Day immediately preceding such
allocation, the Servicer shall have given the Indenture Trustee and each Rating Agency that has rated any Series or Class of Notes within the applicable Group written notice of such allocation; 
 (b) for any Series or Class of Notes within the applicable Group that has been rated, the Rating Agency Condition shall have been satisfied with respect
to such allocation; and 
 (c) the Issuer shall have delivered to the Indenture Trustee an Officer’s Certificate, dated the date of such
allocation, to the effect that the Issuer reasonably believes that such allocation will not have an Adverse Effect. 
 Any such Indenture Supplement or
amendment may provide that (i) such allocation to one or more particular Series or Groups may terminate upon the occurrence of certain events specified therein and (ii) that upon the occurrence of any such event, such assets and any
Collections with respect thereto, shall be reallocated to other Series or Groups or to all Series, all as shall be provided in such Indenture Supplement or amendment. 
 Section 8.05. Release of Trust Estate. 
 (a) The Indenture Trustee may, and when required by the
provisions of this Indenture shall, execute instruments to release property from the lien of this Indenture, or convey the Indenture Trustee’s interest in the same, in a manner and under circumstances which are not inconsistent with the
provisions of this Indenture. No party relying upon an instrument executed by the Indenture Trustee as provided in this Article VIII shall be bound to ascertain the Indenture Trustee’s authority, inquire into the satisfaction of any
conditions precedent or see to the application of any monies. 
 (b) The Indenture Trustee upon Issuer Order shall authorize the Servicer to
execute in the name and on behalf of the Indenture Trustee instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, and other comparable instruments with respect to the Receivables (and the Indenture Trustee shall
execute any such documents on request of the Servicer), subject to the obligations of the Servicer under the Transfer and Servicing Agreement. 
  

 62 








 (c) Upon Issuer Order, the Indenture Trustee shall, at such time as there are no Notes Outstanding,
release and transfer, without recourse, any remaining portion of the Trust Estate (other than any cash held for the payment of the Notes pursuant to Section 4.02) that secured the Notes from the lien of this Indenture and release to the
Issuer or any other Person entitled thereto any funds and other property then credited to the Collection Account, the Special Funding Account and any other account established pursuant to Section 8.02 or an Indenture Supplement. The
Indenture Trustee shall release property from the lien of this Indenture pursuant to this Section only upon receipt of an Issuer Order accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate of the Issuer, an Opinion of Counsel and (if required by the TIA)
Independent Certificates in accordance with TIA §§314(c) and 314(d)(1) meeting the applicable requirements of Section 11.01. 
 (d) On the date when any Receivable becomes a Defaulted Receivable, there shall automatically be released from the lien of this Indenture, without further action, such Defaulted Receivable, all Insurance Proceeds allocable to such Defaulted
Receivable, all rights to payment and amounts due or to become due with respect to all of the foregoing, and all proceeds thereof. All Recoveries and other amounts collected by the Issuer, the Transferor, or the Servicer with respect to such
Defaulted Receivables shall be paid to the Issuer, shall be deposited in the Collection Account, shall be subject to the lien of this Indenture, and shall be applied as provided herein. 
 Section 8.06. Opinion of Counsel. 
 The Indenture Trustee shall receive at least seven (7) days’ notice when requested by the Issuer to take any action pursuant to Section 8.05(a), accompanied by copies of any instruments involved, and the Indenture
Trustee shall also receive, as a condition to such action, an Opinion of Counsel, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee, stating the legal effect of any such action, outlining the steps required to complete the same,
and concluding that all conditions precedent to the taking of such action have been complied with and such action will not materially and adversely impair the security for the Notes or the rights of the Noteholders in contravention of the provisions
of this Indenture; provided, however, that such Opinion of Counsel shall not be required to express an opinion as to the fair value of the Trust Estate. The Indenture Trustee and counsel rendering any such opinion may rely, without
independent investigation, on the accuracy and validity of any certificate or other instrument delivered to the Indenture Trustee in connection with any such action. 
 Section 8.07. Distributions and Reports to Noteholders. 
 Distributions shall be made to, and
reports shall be provided to, Noteholders as set forth herein and in the Transfer and Servicing Agreement and the applicable Indenture Supplement. The identity of the Noteholders with respect to distributions and reports shall be determined as of
the immediately preceding Record Date.

there is a Rating Agency with respect to the affected Series or Class of Notes, a Tax Opinion shall have been delivered to each applicable Rating Agency. Additionally, notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee,
when authorized by an Issuer Order, may, without the consent of any Noteholders of any Series then Outstanding or the Series Enhancers for any Series, enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto to add, modify or eliminate such
provisions as may be necessary or advisable in order to enable all or any portion of the Issuer to avoid the imposition of state or local income or franchise taxes imposed on the Issuer’s property or its income; provided, however, that
(i) the Issuer delivers to the Indenture Trustee an Officer’s Certificate to the effect that the proposed amendments meet the requirements set forth in this Section 9.01(b), (ii) the Rating Agency Condition will have been
satisfied and (iii) such amendment does not affect the rights, duties or obligations of the Indenture Trustee hereunder without its consent. 
 Section 9.02. Supplemental Indentures with Consent of Noteholders. 
 The Issuer, the Servicer and the Indenture
Trustee, when authorized by an Issuer Order, also may, with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority of the Outstanding principal amount of the Notes of each adversely affected Series or Class, as applicable, of Notes Outstanding, by
Act of such Holders delivered to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, and, to the extent that any such affected Series or Class is rated by a Rating Agency, with notice to the Rating Agency, enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto
for the purpose of adding any provisions to, changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of such Noteholders under this Indenture; provided, however, that no
such supplemental indenture shall, without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Note affected thereby: 
 (a) change the date of
payment of any installment of principal of or interest on any Note, or reduce the principal amount thereof, the Interest Rate specified thereon or the redemption price with respect thereto, change the provisions of this Indenture relating to the
application of collections on, or the proceeds of the sale of, all or any portion of the Trust Estate to payment of principal of or interest on the Notes, or change any place of payment where, or the coin or currency in which, any Note or any
interest thereon is payable or impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of the provisions of this Indenture requiring the application of funds available therefor, as provided in Article V, to the payment of any such amount due
on the Notes on or after the respective due dates thereof (or, in the case of redemption, the Redemption Date); 
 (b) reduce the percentage
of the Outstanding principal amount of the Notes of any Series or all Series of Notes Outstanding, the consent of the Holders of which is required for any such supplemental indenture, or the consent of the Holders of which is required for any waiver
of compliance with any provision of this Indenture or any default hereunder and its consequences as provided for in this Indenture; 
  

 65 








 (c) reduce the percentage of the Outstanding principal amount of any Notes, the consent of the Holders of
which is required to direct the Indenture Trustee to sell or liquidate the Trust Estate if the proceeds of such sale would be insufficient to pay the principal amount and accrued but unpaid interest on the Outstanding Notes of such Series;

 (d) modify any of the provisions of this Indenture in such manner as to affect the calculation of the amount of any payment of interest or
principal due on any Note on any Payment Date (including the calculation of any of the individual components of such calculation) or to affect the rights of the Holders of Notes to the benefit of any provisions for the mandatory redemption of the
Notes contained herein; 
 (e) modify or alter the provisions of this Indenture prohibiting the voting of Notes held by the Issuer, any other
obligor on the Notes, the Transferor or any Affiliate thereof; or 
 (f) permit the creation of any Lien ranking prior to or on a parity with
the lien of this Indenture with respect to any part of the Trust Estate or, except as otherwise permitted or contemplated herein, terminate the lien of this Indenture on any part of the Trust Estate at any time subject hereto or deprive the Holder
of any Note of the security provided by the lien of this Indenture. 
 The Indenture Trustee may in its discretion determine whether or not any Notes would
be affected by any supplemental indenture and any such determination shall be conclusive upon the Holders of all Notes, whether theretofore or thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder. The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any such
determination made in good faith. 
 It shall not be necessary for any Act of Noteholders under this Section to approve the particular form
of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such Act shall approve the substance thereof. 
 Promptly after the
execution by the Issuer, the Servicer, and the Indenture Trustee of any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Section, the Indenture Trustee shall mail to the Holders of the Notes to which such amendment or supplemental indenture relates written
notice setting forth in general terms the substance of such supplemental indenture. Any failure of the Indenture Trustee to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such
supplemental indenture. 
 Section 9.03. Execution of Supplemental Indentures. 
 In executing, or permitting the additional trusts created by, any supplemental indenture permitted by this Article IX or the modification thereby
of the trusts created by this Indenture, the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and subject to Sections 6.01 and 6.02, shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such
supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture. The Indenture Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such supplemental indenture that affects the Indenture Trustee’s (as such or in its individual
capacity) own rights, duties, liabilities, benefits, protections, privileges or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise. 
 Section 9.04. Effect of Supplemental Indenture. 
  

 66 








 Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture under this Article IX, this Indenture shall be
modified and amended in accordance therewith with respect to the Notes affected thereby, and the respective rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties, liabilities and immunities under this Indenture of the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer, the
Servicer and the Holders of the Notes shall thereafter be determined, exercised and enforced hereunder subject in all respects to such modifications and amendments, and the terms and conditions of any such supplemental indenture shall be deemed to
be a part of this Indenture for any and all purposes. 
 Section 9.05. Conformity with Trust Indenture Act. 
 Every amendment of this Indenture and every supplemental indenture executed pursuant to this Article IX shall conform to the requirements of the
TIA as then in effect if and for so long as this Indenture shall then be qualified under the TIA. 
 Section 9.06. Reference in Notes
to Supplemental Indentures. 
 Notes authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to this
Article IX may, and if required by the Indenture Trustee shall, bear a notation in form approved by the Indenture Trustee as to any matter provided for in such supplemental indenture. If the Issuer shall so determine, new Notes so modified as
to conform, in the opinion of the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer, to any such supplemental indenture may be prepared and executed by the Issuer and authenticated and delivered by the Indenture Trustee in exchange for the Outstanding Notes.

 Section 9.07. Indenture Supplements and Series Enhancers. 
 (a) Notwithstanding anything in this Article IX to the contrary, no amendment may be made to this Indenture or any Indenture Supplement that would
adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Series Enhancer without the consent of such Series Enhancer. 
 (b) Any
Indenture Supplement executed in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.10 shall not be considered an amendment or supplemental indenture for the purposes of this Article IX. 
 ARTICLE X 
 TERMINATION 
 Section 10.01. Termination of Issuer. 
 The Issuer and the respective obligations and responsibilities of the Issuer, the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee created hereby (other than the obligation of the Indenture Trustee to make payments to Noteholders as hereinafter set
forth) shall terminate, except with respect to the duties described in Section 10.02(b) or in Section 11.17, as provided in the Trust Agreement. 
 Section 10.02. Final Distribution. 
  

 67 








 (a) The Servicer shall give the Indenture Trustee at least thirty (30) days’ prior written
notice of the Payment Date on which the Noteholders of any Series or Class may surrender their Notes for payment of the final distribution on and cancellation of such Notes (or, in the event of a final distribution resulting from the application of
Section 2.06 or 8.01 of the Transfer and Servicing Agreement, notice of such Payment Date promptly after the Servicer has determined that a final distribution will occur, if such determination is made less than thirty (30) days prior to
such Payment Date). Such notice shall be accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate of the Servicer setting forth the information specified in Section 3.05 of the Transfer and Servicing Agreement covering the period during the then-current
calendar year through the date of such notice. Not later than the fifth (5th) day of the month in which the final distribution in respect of such Series or Class is payable to Noteholders, the Indenture Trustee shall provide notice to
Noteholders of such Series or Class specifying (i) the date upon which final payment of such Series or Class will be made upon presentation and surrender of Notes of such Series or Class at the office or offices therein designated,
(ii) the amount of any such final payment and (iii) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Payment Date is not applicable, payments being made only upon presentation and surrender of such Notes at the office or offices therein
specified (which, in the case of Bearer Notes, shall be outside the United States). The Indenture Trustee shall give such notice to the Note Registrar and the Paying Agent at the time such notice is given to Noteholders. 
 (b) Notwithstanding a final distribution to the Noteholders of any Series or Class (or the termination of the Issuer), except as otherwise provided in
this paragraph, all funds then on deposit in the Collection Account and any Series Account allocated to such Noteholders shall continue to be held in trust for the benefit of, and subject to a security interest in favor of, such Noteholders, and the
Paying Agent or the Indenture Trustee shall pay such funds to such Noteholders upon surrender of their Notes (and any excess shall be paid in accordance with the terms of the Indenture Supplement and Series Enhancement, if any, for such Series or
Class). In the event that all such Noteholders shall not surrender their Notes for cancellation within six (6) months after the date specified in the notice from the Indenture Trustee described in paragraph (a), the Indenture Trustee shall give
a second notice to the remaining such Noteholders to surrender their Notes for cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect thereto (which surrender and payment, in the case of Bearer Notes, shall be outside the United States). If
within one (1) year after the second notice all such Notes shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Indenture Trustee may take appropriate steps, or may appoint an agent to take appropriate steps, to contact the remaining such
Noteholders concerning surrender of their Notes pursuant to and as described in Section 3.03. The Indenture Trustee and the Paying Agent shall pay to the Issuer any monies held by them for the payment of principal or interest that
remains unclaimed for two (2) years pursuant to and as described in Section 3.03. After payment to the Issuer, Noteholders entitled to the money must look to the Issuer for payment as general creditors unless an applicable abandoned
property law designates another Person. 
 ARTICLE XI 
 MISCELLANEOUS 
 Section 11.01. Compliance Certificates and Opinions etc. 
  

 68 








 (a) Upon any application or request by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee to take any action under any
provision of this Indenture, the Issuer shall furnish to the Indenture Trustee (x) an Officer’s Certificate of the Issuer stating that all conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Indenture relating to the proposed action have
been complied with, (y) an Opinion of Counsel stating that in the opinion of such counsel all such conditions precedent, if any, have been complied with and (z) (if required by the TIA) an Independent Certificate from a firm of certified
public accountants meeting the applicable requirements of this Section, except that, in the case of any such application or request as to which the furnishing of such documents is specifically required by any provision of this Indenture, no
additional certificate or opinion need be furnished. 
 Every certificate or opinion with respect to compliance with a condition or covenant
provided for in this Indenture shall include: 
 (i) a statement that each signatory of such certificate or opinion has read
or has caused to be read such covenant or condition and the definitions herein relating thereto; 
 (ii) a brief statement as
to the nature and scope of the examination or investigation upon which the statements or opinions contained in such certificate or opinion are based; 
 (iii) a statement that, in the opinion of each such signatory, such signatory has made such examination or investigation as is necessary to enable such signatory to express an informed opinion as to whether or not
such covenant or condition has been complied with; and 
 (iv) a statement as to whether, in the opinion of each such
signatory, such condition or covenant has been complied with. 
 (b) (i) Prior to the deposit of any property
constituting part of the Trust Estate or other property or securities with the Indenture Trustee that is to be made the basis for the release of any property or securities subject to the lien of this Indenture, the Issuer shall, in addition to any
obligation imposed in Section 11.01(a) or elsewhere in this Indenture, furnish to the Indenture Trustee an Officer’s Certificate of the Issuer certifying or stating the opinion of each person signing such certificate as to the fair
value (within ninety (90) days of such deposit) to the Issuer of such property constituting part of the Trust Estate or other property or securities to be so deposited. 
 (ii) Whenever the Issuer is required to furnish to the Indenture Trustee an Officer’s Certificate certifying or stating the opinion
of any signer thereof as to the matters described in clause (i) above, the Issuer shall also deliver to the Indenture Trustee (if required by the TIA) an Independent Certificate as to the same matters, if the fair value to the Issuer of the
securities to be so deposited and of all other such securities made the basis of any such withdrawal or release since the commencement of the then-current fiscal year of the Issuer, as set forth in the certificates delivered pursuant to clause
(i) above and this clause (ii), is 10% or more of the Outstanding principal amount of the Notes Outstanding, but such a certificate need not be furnished with respect to any 
  

 69 








 securities so deposited if the fair value thereof to the Issuer as set forth in the related
Officer’s Certificate is less than $25,000 or less than one percent of the then Outstanding principal amount of the Notes Outstanding. 
 (iii) Other than the release of any Defaulted Receivables or Ineligible Receivables, whenever any property or securities are to be released from the lien of this Indenture, the Issuer shall also furnish to the
Indenture Trustee an Officer’s Certificate of the Issuer certifying or stating the opinion of each person signing such certificate as to the fair value (within ninety (90) days of such release) of the property or securities proposed to be
released and stating that in the opinion of such person the proposed release will not impair the security under this Indenture in contravention of the provisions hereof. 
 (iv) Whenever the Issuer is required to furnish to the Indenture Trustee an Officer’s Certificate of the Issuer certifying or stating
the opinion of any signer thereof as to the matters described in clause (iii) above, the Issuer shall also furnish to the Indenture Trustee (if required by the TIA) an Independent Certificate as to the same matters if the fair value of the
property or securities and of all other property or securities released from the lien of this Indenture since the commencement of the then current calendar year, as set forth in the certificates required by clause (iii) above and this clause
(iv), equals 10% or more of the Outstanding principal amount of the Notes Outstanding, but such certificate need not be furnished in the case of any release of property or securities if the fair value thereof as set forth in the related
Officer’s Certificate is less than $25,000 or less than one percent of the then Outstanding principal amount of the Notes Outstanding. 
 (v) Notwithstanding Section 2.16, this Section 11.01 or any other provision of this Indenture, the Issuer may (or may direct the Servicer to) (A) collect, liquidate, sell or otherwise
dispose of Receivables as and to the extent permitted or required by the Transaction Documents and (B) instruct the Indenture Trustee to make cash payments out of the Collection Account, the Special Funding Account and the Series Accounts as
and to the extent permitted or required by the Transaction Documents. 
 Section 11.02. Form of Documents Delivered to Indenture
Trustee. 
 In any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an opinion of, any specified Person, it is
not necessary that all such matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters
and one or more other such Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents. 
 Any certificate or opinion of an Authorized Officer of the Issuer may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, counsel, unless such Authorized Officer
knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which such Authorized Officer’s certificate or opinion is based are erroneous. Any such certificate of
an Authorized Officer or Opinion of Counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, an officer or officers of the Servicer, the Transferor, a Seller, the Issuer or the
Administrator, stating that the information 
  

 70 








 with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the Servicer, the Transferor, such Seller, the Issuer or the
Administrator, unless such Authorized Officer or counsel knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such matters are erroneous. 
 Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two (2) or more applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other
instruments under this Indenture, they may, but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument. 
 Whenever in this Indenture, in
connection with any application or certificate or report to the Indenture Trustee, it is provided that the Issuer shall deliver any document as a condition of the granting of such application, or as evidence of the Issuer’s compliance with any
term hereof, it is intended that the truth and accuracy, at the time of the granting of such application or at the effective date of such certificate or report (as the case may be), of the facts and opinions stated in such document shall in such
case be conditions precedent to the right of the Issuer to have such application granted or to the sufficiency of such certificate or report. The foregoing shall not, however, be construed to affect the Indenture Trustee’s right to rely upon
the truth and accuracy of any statement or opinion contained in any such document as provided in Article VI. 
 Section 11.03.
Acts of Noteholders. 
 (a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this
Indenture to be given or taken by Noteholders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Noteholders in person or by an agent duly appointed in writing and satisfying any requisite
percentages as to minimum number or Dollar value of Outstanding principal amount represented by such Noteholders; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are
delivered to the Indenture Trustee, and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Issuer. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of
the Noteholders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and conclusive in favor of the Indenture Trustee and
the Issuer, if made in the manner provided in this Section 11.03. 
 (b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any
such instrument or writing may be proved in any manner which the Indenture Trustee deems sufficient. 
 (c) The ownership of Notes shall be
proved by the Note Register. 
 (d) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action by the Holder of
any Notes shall bind the Holder (and any transferee thereof) of every Note issued upon the registration thereof, in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Indenture Trustee or the
Issuer in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Note. 
  

 71 








 Section 11.04. Notices, Etc. to Indenture Trustee and Issuer. 
 Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Noteholders or other documents provided or permitted by this Indenture
to be made upon, given or furnished to, or filed with: 
 (a) the Indenture Trustee shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made,
given, furnished or filed in writing to a Responsible Officer, by facsimile transmission or by other means acceptable to the Indenture Trustee to or with the Indenture Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office; or 
 (b) the Issuer shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to the Issuer addressed to it at
CompuCredit Credit Card Master Note Business Trust III, c/o Wilmington Trust FSB, 3993 Howard Hughes Parkway, Suite 300 North, Las Vegas, Nevada 89109, Attention: Corporate Trust Administration (facsimile no.: (702) 866-2244) or at any other
address previously furnished in writing to the Indenture Trustee by the Issuer. A copy of each notice to the Issuer shall be sent in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to the Administrator at CompuCredit Corporation, 245 Perimeter
Center Parkway, Suite 600, Atlanta, Georgia 30346, Attention: General Counsel. The Issuer shall promptly transmit any notice received by it from the Noteholders to the Indenture Trustee. 
 Section 11.05. Notices to Noteholders; Waiver. 
 Where this Indenture provides for notice to Noteholders of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed by first-class mail postage prepaid
or overnight courier service to each Noteholder affected by such event, at its address as it appears on the Note Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice. In any case
where notice to Noteholders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Noteholder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Noteholders, and any notice
which is mailed in the manner herein provided shall conclusively be presumed to have been duly given. 
 Where this Indenture provides for
notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by any Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Noteholders shall be filed with
the Indenture Trustee but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver. 
 In the event that, by reason of the suspension of regular mail service, it shall be impractical to mail notice of any event to Noteholders when such notice is required to be given pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, then any manner
of giving such notice as shall be satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to be a sufficient giving of such notice. 
 Where
this Indenture provides for notice to any Rating Agency, failure to give such notice shall not affect any other rights or obligations created hereunder and shall not under any circumstances constitute a Default, an Event of Default, an Early
Redemption Event or a Reinvestment Event. 
  

 72 








 Section 11.06. Alternate Payment and Notice Provisions. 
 Notwithstanding any provision of this Indenture or any of the Notes to the contrary, the Issuer, with the consent of the Indenture Trustee, may enter
into any agreement with any Holder of a Note providing for a method of payment, or notice by the Indenture Trustee or any Paying Agent to such Holder, that is different from the methods provided for in this Indenture for such payments or notices.
The Issuer will furnish to the Indenture Trustee a copy of each such agreement and the Indenture Trustee will cause payments to be made and notices to be given in accordance with such agreements. 
 Section 11.07. Conflict with Trust Indenture Act. 
 If this Indenture is qualified under the TIA or if any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with another provision hereof that is required to be included in this Indenture by any of the provisions of the
TIA, such required provision shall control. The provisions of TIA §§310 through 317 that impose duties on any person (including the provisions automatically deemed included herein unless expressly excluded by this Indenture) are a part of
and govern this Indenture, whether or not physically contained herein. 
 Section 11.08. Effect of Headings and Table of
Contents. 
 The Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and shall not affect the
construction hereof. 
 Section 11.09. Successors and Assigns. 
 All covenants and agreements in this Indenture by the Issuer and the Servicer shall bind their respective successors and assigns, whether so expressed or
not. All covenants and agreements of the Indenture Trustee in this Indenture shall bind its successors, co-trustees and agents. 
 Section 11.10. Separability. 
 In case any provision in this Indenture or in the Notes shall be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable, the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. 
 Section 11.11. Benefits of Indenture. 
 Nothing in this Indenture or in the Notes, express or implied, shall give to
any Person, other than the parties hereto and their successors hereunder, and the Noteholders, the Owner Trustee and the Transferor any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture. 
 Section 11.12. Legal Holidays. 
 In any case where the date on which any payment is due shall not be a Business Day, then (notwithstanding any other provision of the Notes or this Indenture) payment need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding
Business Day with the same force 
  

 73 








 and effect as if made on the date on which nominally due, and no additional interest (other than as specified in this
Indenture or any Indenture Supplement) shall accrue for the period from and after any such nominal date. 
 Section 11.13. Governing
Law. 
 THIS INDENTURE AND EACH NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE
STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS (OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW) AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.

 Section 11.14. Counterparts. 
 This Indenture may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

 Section 11.15. Recording of Indenture. 
 If this Indenture is subject to recording in any appropriate public recording offices, such recording is to be effected by the Issuer and at its expense accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel (which shall be counsel
reasonably acceptable to the Indenture Trustee) to the effect that such recording is necessary either for the protection of the Noteholders or any other Person secured hereunder or for the enforcement of any right or remedy granted to the Indenture
Trustee under this Indenture. 
 Section 11.16. Trust Obligation. 
 No recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee on the Notes
or under this Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith or therewith, against (i) the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, (ii) any owner of a beneficial interest in the
Issuer or (iii) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer, director, employee or agent of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, any holder of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the
Indenture Trustee or of any successor or assign of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, except as any such Person may have expressly agreed (it being understood that the Owner Trustee has no such obligations in its
individual capacity) and except that any such partner, owner or beneficiary shall be fully liable, to the extent provided by applicable law, for any unpaid consideration for stock, unpaid capital contribution or failure to pay any installment or
call owing to such entity. For all purposes of this Indenture, in the performance of any duties or obligations hereunder, the Owner Trustee (as such or in its individual capacity) shall be subject to, and entitled to the benefits of, the terms and
provisions of the Trust Agreement. 
 Section 11.17. No Petition. 
  

 74 








 The Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee (as such and its individual capacity), the Servicer, each
Noteholder, by accepting a Note, and each beneficial owner of a Note, by accepting its interest therein, hereby covenant and agree that they will not at any time institute against the Issuer or the Transferor, or join in instituting against the
Issuer or the Transferor, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, or other proceedings under any United States federal or state bankruptcy or similar law. 
 Section 11.18. Inspection. 
 The
Issuer agrees that, on reasonable prior notice, it will permit any representative of the Indenture Trustee, during the Issuer’s normal business hours, to examine all the books of account, records, reports, and other papers of the Issuer, to
make copies and extracts therefrom, to cause such books to be audited by Independent certified public accountants, and to discuss the Issuer’s affairs, finances and accounts with the Issuer’s officers, employees, and Independent certified
public accountants, all at such reasonable times and as often as may be reasonably requested. The Indenture Trustee shall, and shall cause its representatives, to hold in confidence all such information except to the extent disclosure may be
required by law (and all reasonable applications for confidential treatment are unavailing) and except to the extent that the Indenture Trustee may reasonably determine that such disclosure is consistent with its obligations hereunder or is required
by the UCC. 
 Section 11.19. Limitation of Liability of Owner Trustee. 
 It is expressly understood and agreed by the parties hereto that (a) this Indenture is executed and delivered by Wilmington Trust FSB, not
individually or personally but solely as owner trustee of the Issuer, in the exercise of the powers and authority conferred and vested in it under the Trust Agreement, (b) each of the representations, undertakings and agreements herein made on
the part of the Issuer is made and intended not as personal representations, undertakings and agreements by Wilmington Trust FSB but is made and intended for the purpose of binding only the Issuer and (c) under no circumstances shall Wilmington
