Trustee’s certificate of authentication, shall be in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit A with such

such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such legends or endorsements placed thereon as may, consistently herewith,
be determined by the officers executing such Notes, as evidenced by their execution of the Notes. Any portion of the text of any
Note may be set forth on the reverse thereof, with an appropriate reference thereto on the face of the Note.


 


Definitive Notes shall be typewritten, printed,
lithographed or engraved or produced by any combination of these methods (with or without steel engraved borders), all as determined
by the officers executing such Notes, as evidenced by their execution of such Notes.


 






    2


     


    

 


Each Note shall be dated the date of its
authentication. The terms of the Notes are the terms of this Indenture.


 


Section 2.02. Execution, Authentication
and Delivery. The Notes shall be executed on behalf of the Issuer by any of its Authorized Officers. The signature of any such
Authorized Officer on the Notes may be manual, facsimile or scanned. Notes bearing the manual, facsimile or scanned signature of
individuals who were at any time Authorized Officers of the Issuer shall bind the Issuer, notwithstanding that such individuals
or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Notes or did not hold such offices
at the date of such Notes.


 


The Indenture Trustee shall, upon Issuer Order, authenticate
and deliver for original issue the following aggregate principal amount of Notes: (i) $329,000,000 of Class A-1 Notes,
(ii) $549,000,000 of Class A-2 Notes, (iii) $549,000,000 of Class A-3 Notes and (iv) $151,950,000 of Class A-4
Notes. The aggregate principal amount of Class A-1 Notes, Class A-2 Notes, Class A-3 Notes and Class A-4 Notes
outstanding at any time may not exceed such respective amounts except as provided in Section 2.05.


 


Each Note shall be dated the date of its
authentication. The Notes shall be issuable as registered Notes in minimum denominations of $1,000 and in integral multiples of
$1,000 in excess thereof.


 


No Note shall be entitled to any benefit
under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose, unless there appears on such Note a certificate of authentication
substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the Indenture Trustee by the manual signature of one of its authorized
signatories, and such certificate upon any Note shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Note has been duly
authenticated and delivered hereunder.


 


Section 2.03. Temporary Notes.
Pending the preparation of Definitive Notes pursuant to Section 2.11, the Issuer may execute, and upon receipt of an Issuer
Order the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Notes that are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed
or otherwise produced, of the tenor of the Definitive Notes in lieu of which they are issued and with such variations not inconsistent
with the terms of this Indenture as the officers executing such Notes may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Notes.


 


If temporary Notes are issued, the Issuer
shall cause Definitive Notes to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of Definitive Notes, the temporary
Notes shall be exchangeable for Definitive Notes upon surrender of the temporary Notes at the office or agency of the Issuer to
be maintained as provided in Section 3.02, without charge to the related Noteholder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any
one or more temporary Notes, the Issuer shall execute, and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor,
a like tenor and principal amount of Definitive Notes of authorized denominations. Until so exchanged, the temporary Notes shall
in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as Definitive Notes.


 






    3


     


    

 


Section 2.04. Note Register, Registration
of Transfer and Exchange. The Issuer shall cause to be kept a register (the “Note Register”) in which, subject
to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Issuer shall provide for the registration of Notes and the registration
of all transfers of Notes. The Indenture Trustee initially shall be the “Note Registrar” for the purpose of
registering Notes and transfers of Notes as herein provided. Upon any resignation of any Note Registrar, the Issuer shall promptly
appoint a successor or, if it elects not to make such an appointment, assume the duties of Note Registrar.


 


If a Person other than the Indenture Trustee
is appointed by the Issuer as Note Registrar, the Issuer will give the Indenture Trustee prompt written notice of the appointment
of such Note Registrar and of the location, and any change in the location, of the Note Register and the Indenture Trustee shall
have the right to inspect the Note Register at all reasonable times and to obtain copies thereof, and the Indenture Trustee shall
have the right to rely upon a certificate executed on behalf of the Note Registrar by an Executive Officer thereof as to the names
and addresses of the Noteholders and the principal amounts and number of such Notes.


 


Upon surrender for registration of
transfer of any Note at the office or agency of the Issuer to be maintained as provided in Section 3.02, provided that
the requirements of Section 8-401 of the UCC are met, the Issuer shall execute, and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate
and the Noteholder shall obtain from the Indenture Trustee, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or
more new Notes of the same Class in any authorized denominations, of a like aggregate principal amount.


 


At the option of the Noteholder, Notes may
be exchanged for other Notes of the same Class in any authorized denominations, of a like aggregate principal amount, upon
surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Notes are so surrendered for exchange, provided that
the requirements of Section 8-401 of the UCC are met (as determined by the Issuer), the Issuer shall execute, and the Indenture
Trustee shall authenticate and the Noteholder shall obtain from the Indenture Trustee, the Notes which the Noteholder making the
exchange is entitled to receive.


 


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.


 


Every Note presented or surrendered for
registration of transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory
to the Indenture Trustee duly executed by, the Noteholder thereof or such Noteholder’s attorney duly authorized in writing,
with such signature guaranteed by an “eligible guarantor institution” meeting the requirements of the Note Registrar,
which requirements include membership or participation in the Securities Transfer Agent’s Medallion Program (“STAMP”)
or such other “signature guarantee program” as may be determined by the Note Registrar in addition to, or in substitution
for, STAMP, all in accordance with the Exchange Act.


 


No service charge shall be made to a Noteholder
for any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, but the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient
to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of
Notes, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 2.03 or 9.06 not involving any transfer.


 






    4


     


    

 


Neither the Issuer nor the Note Registrar
will be required to register transfers or exchanges of Notes that will be redeemed within fifteen (15) days after the requested
date of transfer or exchange.


 


Any Notes issued to and beneficially owned
by the Issuer or any other person treated as the same person as the Issuer for U.S. federal income tax purposes may not be sold,
pledged, or otherwise transferred unless counsel satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee has rendered an opinion to the effect that
such Notes to be sold, pledged, or otherwise transferred will be characterized as indebtedness for U.S. federal income tax purposes
after such sale, pledge, or other transfer. Any attempted sale, pledge, or other transfer in contravention of this paragraph will
be void ab initio and the purported transferor will continue to be treated as the owner of such Notes. If for tax or other
reasons it may be necessary to track any Notes, tracking conditions such as requiring separate CUSIPs or definitive form instruments
may be required by the Sponsor or the Administrator as a condition to such transfer.


 


Section 2.04A. Transfer
Restrictions on the Retained Notes.


 


(a)         On
the Closing Date, each of the Retained Notes will be registered in the name of the Sponsor and issued in physical form as a Definitive
Note in the applicable form of Exhibit A hereto. No transfer of a Retained Note, other than to an Affiliate of the
Sponsor, shall be made unless such transfer is made pursuant to, (i) an effective registration statement under the Securities
Act and any applicable state securities laws or, (ii) is exempt from the registration requirements under the Securities Act
and such state securities laws. Except in the case of a transfer by the Sponsor to an Affiliate, in the event that a transfer is
to be made in reliance upon an exemption from the Securities Act and state securities laws, in order to assure compliance with
the Securities Act and such laws, the Noteholder desiring to effect such transfer and such Noteholder’s prospective transferee
shall each certify to the Owner Trustee, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Sponsor in writing the facts surrounding the
transfer in substantially the forms set forth in Exhibit B (the “Transferor Certificate”) and Exhibit C
(the “Investment Letter”). Except in the case of a transfer by the Sponsor to an Affiliate, there shall also
be delivered to the Owner Trustee, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee an opinion of counsel that such transfer may be made pursuant
to an exemption from the Securities Act and state securities laws, which opinion of counsel shall not be an expense of the Issuer,
the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee; provided that such opinion of counsel in respect of the applicable state securities
laws may be a memorandum of law rather than an opinion if such counsel is not licensed in the applicable jurisdiction. If the Sponsor
subsequently transfers any of the Retained Notes in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements under the Securities
Act pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof and any Noteholder intends to transfer such Retained Notes pursuant to Rule 144A,
the Sponsor shall provide to any Noteholder and any prospective transferee designated by any such Noteholder information regarding
such Retained Notes and the Receivables and such other information as shall be necessary to satisfy the condition to eligibility
set forth in Rule 144A(d)(4) for transfer of any such Retained Notes without registration thereof under the Securities
Act pursuant to the registration exemption provided by Rule 144A, in each case with the cost of the provision of such information
to be borne by the requesting noteholder. Each Noteholder desiring to effect such a transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify
the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Depositor and AHFC (in any capacity) against any liability that may result
if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with federal and state securities laws.


 






    5


     


    

 


(b)        By
directly or indirectly acquiring any Retained Note in a transaction pursuant to Rule 144A, each underwriter, transferee and
owner of an ownership or beneficial interest will be required to represent, warrant and agree (if in Definitive Note form) or will
be deemed to represent, warrant and agree (if in Book Entry Note form) as follows:


 


(i)        it
understands that the Retained Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act, but were retained by the Sponsor, and may
not be sold except as permitted in the following sentence. It understands and agrees, on its own behalf and on behalf of any accounts
for which it is acting as hereinafter stated, (x) that such Retained Notes are being offered only in a transaction not involving
any public offering within the meaning of the Securities Act and (y) that such Retained Notes may be resold, pledged or transferred
only (i) to the Sponsor or an Affiliate, (ii) to an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a)(1),(2),(3) or
(7) of Regulation D under the Securities Act (an “Accredited Investor”) acting for its own account (and not for
the account of others) or as a fiduciary or agent for others (which others also are Accredited Investors unless the holder is a
bank acting in its fiduciary capacity) that executes a certificate substantially in the form of the Investment Letter, (iii) so
long as such Retained Note is eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act, to a person whom it reasonably
believes after due inquiry is a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A, acting for its own account
(and not for the account of others) or as a fiduciary or agent for others (which others also are “qualified institutional
buyers”) to whom notice is given that the resale, pledge or transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A or (iv) in
a sale, pledge or other transfer made in a transaction otherwise exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act,
in which case the Sponsor shall require that both the prospective transferor and the prospective transferee certify to the Indenture
Trustee and the Sponsor in writing the facts surrounding such transfer, which certification shall be in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and the Sponsor. Except in the case of a transfer described
in clauses (i) or (iii) above, the Sponsor shall require that a written opinion of counsel (which will not be at the
expense of the Sponsor, any affiliate of the Sponsor, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee), reasonably satisfactory to the
Issuer and the Sponsor, be delivered to the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and the Sponsor to the effect that
such transfer will not violate the Securities Act, and will be effected in accordance with any applicable securities laws of each
state of the United States. It will notify any purchaser of the Retained Notes from it of the above resale restrictions, if then
applicable. It further understands that in connection with any transfer of the Retained Notes by it that the Issuer and the Sponsor
may request, and if so requested it will furnish, such certificates and other information as they may reasonably require to confirm
that any such transfer complies with the foregoing restrictions;


 


(ii)       if
eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A, it is a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined under Rule 144A
under the Securities Act and is acquiring the Retained Notes for its own account (and not for the account of others) or as a fiduciary
or agent for others (which others also are “qualified institutional buyers”). It is familiar with Rule 144A under
the Securities Act and is aware that the seller of the Retained Notes and other parties intend to rely on the foregoing representations,
warranties and acknowledgements and the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act provided by Rule 144A;


 






    6


     


    

 


(iii)      if
in Definitive Note form, it satisfies the requirements of Section 2.14 of this Indenture;


 


(iv)      it
understands that the Indenture Trustee, the Sponsor and others will rely upon the truth and accuracy of the foregoing acknowledgments,
representations and agreements, and it agrees that if any of the acknowledgments, representations and warranties deemed to have
been made by it by its purchase of the Retained Notes, for its own account or for one or more accounts as to each of which it exercises
sole investment discretion, are no longer accurate, it shall promptly notify the Sponsor; and


 


(v)       the
Indenture Trustee and the Sponsor are entitled to rely upon the foregoing representations, warranties and acknowledgements and
are irrevocably authorized to produce the foregoing representations, warranties and acknowledgments or a copy hereof to any interested
party in any administrative or legal proceeding or official inquiry with respect to the matters covered hereby.


 


(c)        In
the case of a transfer of the Retained Notes to an Affiliate of the Sponsor, the Sponsor shall provide a written representation
to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee that the transferee is an Affiliate of the Sponsor, and the Issuer,
the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee may conclusively rely on such representation.


 


Section 2.05. Mutilated, Destroyed,
Lost or Stolen Notes. If (i) any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Indenture Trustee, or the Indenture Trustee receives
evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, (ii) there is delivered to the Indenture Trustee
such security or indemnity as may be required by it to hold the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee harmless and (iii) the requirements
of Section 8-405 of the UCC are met, then, in the absence of notice to the Issuer, the Note Registrar or the Indenture Trustee
that such Note has been acquired by a Protected Purchaser, the Issuer shall execute, and upon its written request the Indenture
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a replacement
Note of the same Class; provided, however, that if any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, but not a mutilated Note, shall have
become or within seven (7) days shall be due and payable, or shall have been called for redemption, instead of issuing a replacement
Note, the Issuer may pay such destroyed, lost or stolen Note when so due or payable or upon the Redemption Date without surrender
thereof. 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 or the Indenture Trustee
in connection therewith.


 






    7


     


    

 


Upon the issuance of any replacement Note
under this Section, the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee may require the payment by the Noteholder 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 fees and expenses of the Indenture Trustee or the Note Registrar) connected therewith.


 


Every replacement Note issued pursuant to
this Section in replacement of any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall constitute an original additional contractual
obligation of the Issuer, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be at any time enforceable by anyone,
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 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 2.06. Persons Deemed Owner.
Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of any Note, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and any of their respective
agents may treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered (as of the day of determination) as the owner of such Note for
the purpose of receiving payments of principal of and interest, if any, on such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether
or not such Note be overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or any of their respective agents shall be affected
by notice to the contrary.


 


Section 2.07. Payment of Principal
and Interest, Defaulted Interest.


 


(a)         Each
Class of Notes shall accrue interest at the related Interest Rate, and such interest shall be due and payable on each Payment
Date as specified therein, subject to Sections 3.01 and 11.12 hereof. Any installment of interest or principal, if any, payable
on any Note that is punctually paid or duly provided for by the Issuer on the applicable Payment Date shall be paid to the Person
in whose name such Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) is registered on the Record Date by check mailed first-class postage
prepaid to such Person’s address as it appears on the Note Register on such Record Date, except that, unless Definitive Notes
have been issued pursuant to Section 2.11, with respect to Notes registered on the Record Date in the name of the nominee
of the Clearing Agency (initially, such nominee to be Cede & Co.), payment will be made by wire transfer in immediately
available funds to the account designated by such nominee and except for the final installment of principal payable with respect
to such Note on a Payment Date, a Redemption Date or on the related Final Scheduled Payment Date, as the case may be (and except
for the Redemption Price for any Note called for redemption pursuant to Section 10.01), which shall be payable as provided
below. The funds represented by any such checks returned undelivered shall be held in accordance with Section 3.03.


 






    8


     


    

 


(b)        The
principal of each Note shall be payable as provided in Section 8.02(d) hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire
unpaid principal amount of the Notes shall be due and payable, if not previously paid, on the related Final Scheduled Payment Date
or the date on which an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, if the Indenture Trustee or Noteholders representing
not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount have declared the Notes to be immediately due and payable in the manner provided
in Section 5.02. All principal payments on each Class of Notes shall be made pro rata to the Noteholders of such Class entitled
thereto. The Indenture Trustee shall notify the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business five (5) Business
Days preceding the Payment Date on which the Issuer expects that the final installment of principal of and interest on such Note
will be paid. Such notice shall be mailed or transmitted by facsimile prior to such final Payment Date and shall specify that such
final installment will be payable only upon presentation and surrender of such Note and shall specify the place where such Note
may be presented and surrendered for payment of such installment; provided, however, if a Definitive Note is held by the Sponsor
or any of its Affiliates, then the final installment of principal of and interest on such Note may be paid prior to the surrender
of the Note. Notices in connection with redemptions of Notes shall be mailed to Noteholders as provided in Section 10.02.


 


(c)        If
the Issuer defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, the Issuer shall pay defaulted interest (plus interest on such defaulted
interest to the extent lawful) at the applicable Interest Rate in any lawful manner. The Issuer may pay such defaulted interest
to the Persons who are Noteholders on a subsequent special record date, which date shall be at least five (5) Business Days
prior to the next payment date. The Issuer shall fix or cause to be fixed any such special record date and related payment date,
and, at least fifteen (15) days before any such special record date, the Issuer shall mail to each Noteholder a notice that states
the special record date, the payment date and the amount of defaulted interest to be paid.


 


Section 2.08. 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 the Indenture Trustee. The Issuer
may at any time deliver to the Indenture Trustee for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which
the Issuer may have acquired in any 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 may be held or disposed of by the Indenture Trustee in accordance
with its standard retention or disposal policy as in effect at the time unless the Issuer shall direct by an Issuer Order that
they be destroyed or returned to it; provided, that such Issuer Order is timely and the Notes have not been previously disposed
of by the Indenture Trustee.


 


Section 2.09. Book-Entry Notes.
The Non-Retained Notes, upon original issuance, will be issued in the form of a typewritten Note or Notes representing the Book-Entry
Notes, to be delivered to the Indenture Trustee, as agent for The Depository Trust Company, the initial Clearing Agency, by, or
on behalf of, the Issuer. The Book-Entry Notes shall be registered initially on the Note Register in the name of Cede &
Co., the nominee of the initial Clearing Agency, and no Note Owner will receive a definitive Note representing such Note Owner’s
interest in such Note, except as provided in Section 2.11. Unless and until definitive, fully registered Notes (the “Definitive
Notes”) have been issued to such Note Owners pursuant to Section 2.11:


 


(i)        the
provisions of this Section shall be in full force and effect;


 






    9


     


    

 


(ii)       the
Note Registrar and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to deal with the Clearing Agency for all purposes of this Indenture
(including the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes and the giving of instructions or directions hereunder) as the
sole holder of the Notes, and shall have no obligation to the Note Owners;


 


(iii)      to
the extent that the provisions of this Section conflict with any other provisions of this Indenture, the provisions of this
Section shall control;


 


(iv)      the
rights of Note Owners shall be exercised only through the Clearing Agency and shall be limited to those established by law and
agreements between such Note Owners and the Clearing Agency and/or the Clearing Agency Participants. Pursuant to the Note Depository
Agreement, unless and until Definitive Notes are issued pursuant to Section 2.11, the Clearing Agency will make book-entry
transfers among the Clearing Agency Participants and receive and transmit payments of principal of and interest on the Notes to
such Clearing Agency Participants; and


 


(v)       whenever
this Indenture requires or permits actions to be taken based upon instructions or directions of Noteholders evidencing a specified
percentage of the Outstanding Amount, the Clearing Agency shall be deemed to represent such percentage only to the extent that
it has received instructions to such effect from Note Owners and/or Clearing Agency Participants owning or representing, respectively,
such required percentage of the beneficial interest in the Notes and has delivered such instructions to the Indenture Trustee.


 


Section 2.10. Notices to Clearing
Agency. Whenever a notice or other communication to the Noteholders is required under this Indenture, unless and until Definitive
Notes shall have been issued to such Note Owners pursuant to Section 2.11, the Indenture Trustee shall give all such notices
and communications specified herein to be given to Noteholders to the Clearing Agency, and shall have no obligation to such Note
Owners.


 


Section 2.11. Definitive Notes.
On the Closing Date, the Retained Notes will be issued in physical form as Definitive Notes in the applicable form of Exhibit A
hereto and registered in the name of the Sponsor. The Non-Retained Notes will be issued on the Closing Date as Book-Entry Notes;
however, if at anytime (i)(A) the Administrator advises the Indenture Trustee in writing that the Clearing Agency is no longer
willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities with respect to the Book-Entry Notes and (B) neither the Indenture
Trustee nor the Administrator is able to locate a qualified successor, (ii) the Administrator at its option advises the Indenture
Trustee in writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry system through the Clearing Agency or (iii) after the occurrence
of an Event of Default or a Servicer Default, Owners of Book-Entry Notes representing beneficial interests aggregating at least
a majority of the Outstanding Amount of such Notes advise the Indenture Trustee and the Clearing Agency Participants through the
Clearing Agency, in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system through the Clearing Agency is no longer in the best interests
of such Note Owners, then, in each case, the Indenture Trustee shall notify all Note Owners of the related Class of Notes
through the Clearing Agency of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of Definitive Notes of the related Class of
Notes to Note Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Indenture Trustee of the Note or Notes representing the Book-Entry
Notes by the Clearing Agency, accompanied by registration instructions, the Issuer shall execute and the Indenture Trustee shall
authenticate the Definitive Notes in accordance with the instructions of the Clearing Agency. None of the Issuer, the Note Registrar
or the Indenture Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall
be protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Notes of a Class, the Indenture Trustee shall recognize
the holders of the Definitive Notes as Noteholders hereunder. Except in the case of a Noteholder who is an Affiliate of the Sponsor,
subsequent Noteholders of Notes that were initially Retained Notes shall have the right, but at such Noteholders sole cost and
expense, to request that such Retained Notes be converted to Book Entry Notes and the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Administrative
Agent and the Sponsor agree to cooperate and use reasonable efforts to effect such conversion.

Section 2.12. Release of Collateral.
Subject to Section 11.01 and the terms of the other Basic Documents, the Indenture Trustee shall release property from the
lien of this Indenture only upon receipt of an Issuer Request accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate, an Opinion of Counsel
and (except in the case of a full redemption under Section 10.01) 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.


 


Section 2.13. Tax Treatment; Tax
Information.


 


(a)        The
Issuer has entered into this Indenture, and the Notes will be issued (other than Notes beneficially owned by the Issuer or any
other person treated as the same person as the Issuer for U.S. federal income tax purposes unless transferred in accordance with
Section 2.04), with the intention that, for all purposes including U.S. federal income, state and local income and franchise
tax purposes, the Notes will qualify as indebtedness secured by the Owner Trust Estate. The Issuer, by entering into this Indenture,
and each Noteholder, by its acceptance of a Note (and each Note Owner by its acceptance of an interest in the applicable Book-Entry
Note), agree to treat the Notes (other than Notes beneficially owned by the Issuer or any other person treated as the same person
as the Issuer for U.S. federal income tax purposes unless transferred in accordance with Section 2.04) for all purposes including
U.S. federal income, state and local income and franchise tax purposes as indebtedness.


 


(b)        Each
Noteholder, by its acceptance of a Note, and Note Owner, if different, by its acceptance of a beneficial interest in a Note, agrees
to provide and shall provide to the person making payments on the Note to it (or other person responsible for withholding of taxes)
with the Tax Information, and will update or replace such Tax Information when it becomes incorrect or obsolete, at any time required
by applicable law or promptly upon request. Each Noteholder and Note Owner is deemed to understand, acknowledge and agree that
the Indenture Trustee, Paying Agent and Issuer (or other person responsible for withholding of taxes) have the right to withhold
on payments with respect to a Note (without any corresponding gross-up) where an applicable party fails to comply with the requirements
set forth in the preceding sentence or the Indenture Trustee, Paying Agent or Issuer (or other person responsible for withholding
of taxes) is otherwise required to so withhold under applicable law.


 






    11


     


    

 


Section 2.14. Employee Benefit Plans.
The transfer of a Definitive Note shall not be registered unless the prospective transferee (and if the transferee is a Plan, its
fiduciary) has represented in writing to the Indenture Trustee that either (i) it is not acquiring such Note with the assets
of a Benefit Plan Investor or a Plan that is subject to Similar Law; or (ii) its acquisition and holding of such Note will
not give rise to, in the case of a Benefit Plan Investor, a nonexempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or
Section 4975 of the Code or, in the case of a Plan that is subject to Similar Law, a violation of Similar Law. Any Person
that acquires a beneficial interest in a Book Entry Note shall be deemed to make the same representations as set forth above in
this Section 2.14.


 


ARTICLE III


 


COVENANTS


 


Section 3.01. Payment of Principal
and Interest. The Issuer will duly and punctually pay the principal of and interest, if any, on the Notes in accordance with
the terms of the Notes and this Indenture. Without limiting the foregoing, subject to Section 8.02(c), the Issuer will cause
to be distributed all amounts on deposit in the Note Distribution Account on a Payment Date deposited therein in accordance with
Section 8.02(d). Amounts properly withheld under the Code by any Person from a payment to any Noteholder of interest and/or
principal shall be considered as having been paid by the Issuer to such Noteholder for all purposes of this Indenture.

the foregoing purposes. The Issuer will give prompt written notice to the Indenture Trustee of the location, and 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 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 surrenders, notices
and demands, provided that the Indenture Trustee shall not serve as an agent or office for the purpose of service of process on
behalf of the Issuer.


 


Section 3.03. Money for Payments
to be Held in Trust. As provided in Sections 5.04 and 8.02, all payments of amounts due and payable with respect to any Notes
that are to be made from amounts withdrawn from the Collection Account and the Note Distribution Account pursuant to Section 8.02(c) shall
be made on behalf of the Issuer by the Indenture Trustee or by another Paying Agent, and no amounts so withdrawn from the Collection
Account and the Note Distribution Account for payments of Notes shall be paid over to the Issuer except as provided in this Section.

On or before the Business Day immediately
preceding each Payment Date and Redemption Date, the Issuer shall deposit or cause to be deposited in the Collection Account (to
be transferred to the Note Distribution Account on the related Payment Date) an aggregate sum sufficient to pay the amounts then
becoming due under the Notes, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto, and (unless the Paying
Agent is the Indenture Trustee) shall promptly notify the Indenture Trustee in writing of its action or failure so to act.


 


The Issuer will cause each Paying Agent
other than the Indenture Trustee to execute and deliver to the Indenture Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall
agree with the Indenture Trustee (and if the Indenture Trustee acts as Paying Agent, it hereby so agrees), subject to the provisions
of this Section, 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;


 


(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;


 


(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 (including obtaining and retaining from Persons entitled to payments with respect to the Notes any Tax Information
and making any withholdings with respect to the Notes as required by the Code and paying over such withheld amounts to the appropriate
governmental authority) and


 


(vi)      comply
with any applicable reporting requirements in connection with any payments made by it on any Notes and any withholding of taxes
therefrom, and, upon request, provide any Tax Information to the Issuer.


 


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 the 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.


 






    13


     


    

 


Subject to applicable laws with respect
to escheat of funds, 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 and remaining unclaimed for two years after such amount has become due and payable shall be discharged from
such trust and be paid to the Issuer on Issuer Request; and the Noteholder of such Note shall thereafter, as an unsecured general
creditor, look only to the Issuer for payment thereof (but only to the extent of the amounts so paid to the Issuer), 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 expense and written 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 or for the account of the Issuer. The Indenture Trustee shall also adopt and employ, at the expense
and written direction of the Issuer, any other reasonable means of notification of such repayment (including, but not limited to,
mailing notice of such repayment to Noteholders whose Notes have been called but have not been surrendered for redemption or whose
right to or interest in monies 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 Noteholder).


 


Section 3.04. Existence. The
Issuer will keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a statutory trust under the laws of the State of Delaware
(unless it becomes, or any successor Issuer hereunder is or becomes, organized under the laws of any other State or of the United
States, 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 Collateral and each other instrument or agreement
included in the Owner Trust Estate in connection with this Indenture and the other Basic Documents and the transactions contemplated
hereby and thereby until such time as the Issuer shall terminate in accordance with the terms hereof.


 


Section 3.05. Protection of Owner
Trust Estate. The Issuer intends the security interest Granted pursuant to this Indenture in favor of the Indenture Trustee
on behalf of the Noteholders to be prior to all other liens in respect of the Owner Trust Estate, and the Issuer shall take all
actions necessary to obtain and maintain, for the benefit of the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders, a first lien on
and a first priority, perfected security interest in the Owner Trust Estate. The Issuer will from time to time execute and deliver
all such supplements and amendments hereto and all such financing statements, continuation statements, instruments of further assurance
and other instruments, all as prepared by the Administrator and delivered to the Issuer, and will take such other action necessary
or advisable to:


 


(i)        grant
more effectively any portion of the Owner Trust Estate;


 


(ii)       maintain
or preserve the lien and security interest (and the priority thereof) created by this Indenture or carry out more effectively the
purposes hereof;


 






    14


     


    

 


(iii)      perfect,
publish notice of or protect the validity of any Grant made or to be made by this Indenture;


 


(iv)      enforce
any of the Collateral;


 


(v)       preserve
and defend title to the Owner Trust Estate and the rights of the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders in such Owner Trust Estate
against the claims of all persons and parties; or


 


(vi)      pay
all taxes or assessments levied or assessed upon the Owner Trust Estate when due.


 


Financing statements filed pursuant to such
appointment may describe the Owner Trust Estate in the same manner as described herein or may describe the collateral subject thereto
as “All of the Debtor’s personal property and other assets, whether now owned or existing or hereafter acquired or
arising, together with all products and proceeds thereof, substitutions and replacements therefor, and additions and accessions
thereto.”


 


Section 3.06. Opinions as to Owner
Trust Estate.


 


(a)        Promptly
after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Issuer shall furnish to the Indenture Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to
the effect that, in the opinion of such counsel, either (i) all financing statements and continuation statements have been
executed and filed that are necessary to create and continue the Indenture Trustee’s first priority perfected security interest
in the collateral for the benefit of the Noteholders, and reciting the details of such filings or referring to prior Opinions of
Counsel in which such details are given, or (ii) no such action shall be necessary to perfect such security interest.


 


(b)        Within
ninety (90) days after the beginning of each fiscal year of the Issuer (commencing with the first fiscal year that begins on a
date that is more than three months after the Cutoff Date), the Issuer shall furnish to the Indenture Trustee an Opinion of Counsel,
dated as of a date during such 90-day period, stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, either (i) all financing statements
and continuation statements have been filed that are necessary to create and continue the Indenture Trustee’s first priority
perfected security interest in the collateral for the benefit of the Noteholders, and reciting the details of such filings or referring
to prior Opinions of Counsel in which such details are given, or (ii) no such action shall be necessary to perfect such security
interest.


 


Section 3.07. Performance of Obligations;
Servicing of Receivables.


 


(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
Owner 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 other Basic
Documents or such other instrument or agreement.


 






    15


     


    

 


(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 be deemed to be action
taken by the Issuer. Initially, the Issuer has contracted with the Servicer and the Administrator to assist the Issuer in performing
its duties under this Indenture.


 


(c)        The
Issuer will and will cause the Administrator to, punctually perform and observe all of its obligations and agreements contained
in this Indenture, the other Basic Documents and in the instruments and agreements included in the Owner Trust Estate, including
but not limited to filing or causing to be filed all UCC financing statements and continuation statements required to be filed
by the terms of this Indenture and the other Basic Documents in accordance with and within the time periods provided for herein
and therein. Except as otherwise expressly provided therein, the Issuer shall not waive, amend, modify, supplement or terminate
any Basic Document or any provision thereof without the written consent of the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders of at least
a majority of the Outstanding Amount or such greater percentage as may be specified in the particular provision.


 


(d)        If
the Issuer shall have knowledge of the occurrence of a Servicer Default, the Issuer shall promptly provide written notice to a
Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee and to the Administrator thereof, and shall specify in such notice the action, if
any, the Issuer is taking with respect of such default. If a Servicer Default shall arise from the failure of the Servicer to perform
any of its duties or obligations under the Sale and Servicing Agreement with respect to the Receivables, the Issuer shall take
all reasonable steps available to it to remedy such failure. The Administrator shall, in accordance with Section 1.02(c) of
the Administration Agreement, make such notice available to each Rating Agency.


 


(e)        As
promptly as possible after the giving of notice of termination to the Servicer of the Servicer’s rights and powers pursuant
to Section 7.01 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Issuer shall promptly notify a Responsible Officer of the Indenture
Trustee and the Indenture Trustee shall appoint a Successor Servicer, and such Successor Servicer shall accept its appointment
by a written assumption in a form acceptable to the Indenture Trustee. In the event that a Successor Servicer has not been appointed
and accepted its appointment at the time when the Servicer ceases to act as Servicer, the Indenture Trustee without further action
shall automatically be appointed the Successor Servicer. The Indenture Trustee may resign as the Servicer by giving written notice
of such resignation to the Issuer and in such event will be released from such duties and obligations, such release not to be effective
until the date a new servicer enters into a servicing agreement as provided below. Upon delivery of any such notice to the Issuer,
the Issuer shall obtain a new servicer as the Successor Servicer under the Sale and Servicing Agreement. As soon as such a Successor
Servicer is appointed, the Issuer shall notify the Indenture Trustee of such appointment, specifying in such notice the name and
address of such Successor Servicer. Any Successor Servicer other than the Indenture Trustee shall (i) be an established financial
institution having a net worth of not less than $50,000,000 and whose regular business includes the servicing of motor vehicle
receivables and (ii) enter into a servicing agreement with the Issuer and the Seller having substantially the same provisions
as the provisions of the Sale and Servicing Agreement applicable to the Servicer. If within thirty (30) days after the delivery
of the notice referred to above, the Issuer shall not have obtained such a new servicer, the Indenture Trustee may appoint, or
may petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, a Successor Servicer. In connection with any such appointment, the Issuer
may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor as it and such successor shall agree, subject to the limitations
set forth below and in the Sale and Servicing Agreement, and in accordance with Section 7.02 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement,
the Issuer and the Seller shall enter into an agreement with such successor for the servicing of the Receivables (such agreement
to be in form and substance satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee). If the Indenture Trustee shall succeed to the Servicer’s
duties as servicer of the Receivables as provided herein, it shall do so in its individual capacity and not in its capacity as
Indenture Trustee and, accordingly, the provisions of Article VI shall be inapplicable (except as set forth in the proviso
contained in Section 6.01(a)) to the Indenture Trustee in its duties as the successor to the Servicer and the servicing of
the Receivables. In case the Indenture Trustee shall become successor to the Servicer under the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the
Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to appoint as Servicer any one of its Affiliates or agents, provided that it shall be fully
liable for the actions and omissions of such Affiliate or agent in such capacity as Successor Servicer.

interest, mortgage or other encumbrance (other than the lien of this Indenture) to be created on or extend to or otherwise arise
upon or burden the Owner Trust Estate or any part thereof or any interest therein or the proceeds thereof (other than tax liens,
mechanics’ liens and other liens that arise by operation of law, in each case on any of the Financed Vehicles and arising
solely as a result of an action or omission of the related Obligor) or (C) permit the lien created by this Indenture not to
constitute a valid first priority (other than with respect to any such tax, mechanics’ or other lien) security interest in
the Owner Trust Estate; or


 


(iv)      dissolve
or liquidate in whole or in part.

principal and interest, with interest on the overdue principal and, to the extent payment at such rate of interest shall be legally
enforceable, on overdue installments of interest at the related 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 and its agents and counsel.

case the Issuer shall fail forthwith to pay such amounts upon such demand, the Indenture Trustee, in its own name and as trustee

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 property of the Issuer or other obligor upon such Notes, wherever situated, the monies adjudged or decreed
to be payable.


 


(c)            If
an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee may, as more particularly provided in Section 5.04, in
its discretion, proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Noteholders, by such appropriate Proceedings as
the Indenture Trustee shall deem most effective to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of
any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper
remedy or legal or equitable right vested in the Indenture Trustee by this Indenture or by law.

obligor or Person, or in case of any other comparable judicial Proceedings relative to the Issuer or other obligor upon the Notes,
or to the creditors or property of the Issuer or such other obligor, the Indenture Trustee, irrespective of whether the principal
of any Notes shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the
Indenture Trustee shall have made any demand pursuant to the provisions of this Section, shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention
in such Proceedings or otherwise:


 


(i)             to
file and prove a claim or claims for the entire amount of principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Notes and to
file such other papers or documents 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 allowed in
such Proceedings;


 


(ii)            unless
prohibited by applicable law and regulations, to vote on behalf of the Noteholders in any election of a trustee, a standby trustee
or Person performing similar functions in any such Proceedings;


 


(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 and of the Indenture Trustee on their behalf; and


 


(iv)           to
file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Indenture
Trustee or the Noteholders allowed in any Proceedings relative to the Issuer, its creditors and its property;


 


(v)            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.


 






    26


     


    

 


(e)            Nothing
herein contained shall be deemed to 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 to authorize the Indenture Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Noteholder in any such proceeding
except, as aforesaid, to vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar Person.


 


(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 ratable benefit of the Noteholders.


 


(g)           In
any Proceedings brought by the Indenture Trustee (including any Proceedings involving the interpretation of any provision of this
Indenture to which the Indenture Trustee shall be a party), the Indenture Trustee shall be held to represent all the Noteholders,
and it shall not be necessary to make any Noteholder a party to any such Proceedings.


 


Section 5.04. Remedies, Priorities.


 


(a)            If
an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Indenture Trustee may do one or more of the following (subject to
Sections 5.02 and 5.05):


 


(i)             institute
Proceedings in its own name and/or as trustee of an express trust for the collection of all amounts then payable on the Notes or
under this Indenture with respect thereto, whether by declaration or otherwise, enforce any judgment obtained and collect from
the Issuer and any other obligor upon such Notes monies adjudged due;


 


(ii)            institute
Proceedings from time to time for the complete or partial foreclosure of this Indenture with respect to the Owner Trust Estate;


 


(iii)           exercise
any remedies of a secured party under the UCC and any other remedy available to the Indenture Trustee and take any other appropriate
action to protect and enforce the rights and remedies of the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders under this Indenture;
and


 


(iv)          sell
the Owner Trust Estate or any portion thereof or rights or interest therein, at one or more public or private sales called and
conducted in any manner permitted by law;


 


provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee may not sell or
otherwise liquidate the Owner Trust Estate following an Event of Default, unless (A) the Noteholders of 100% of the Outstanding
Amount consent thereto, (B) the proceeds of such sale or liquidation distributable to the Noteholders and Certificateholders
are sufficient to discharge in full all amounts then due and unpaid upon such Notes and Certificates for principal and interest
or (C) the Indenture Trustee determines that the Owner Trust Estate will not continue to provide sufficient funds for the
payment of principal of and interest on the Notes and Certificates as would have become due if the Notes and Certificates had not
been declared due and payable, and the Indenture Trustee obtains the consent of Noteholders of 100% of the Outstanding Amount.
In determining such sufficiency or insufficiency with respect to clause (B) and (C) above, the Indenture Trustee may,
but need not, obtain, at the expense of the Issuer, 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 Owner Trust Estate for
such purpose.


 






    27


     


    

 


(b)           If
the Indenture Trustee collects any money or property pursuant to this Article, it shall pay out the money or property in the following
order and priority:


 


(i)             on
a pro rata basis, to the Indenture Trustee, the Delaware Trustee and the Owner Trustee, any amounts due under the Trust Agreement
or Section 6.07 hereof;


 


(ii)            to
the Servicer, for amounts due and unpaid in respect of Nonrecoverable Advances under the Sale and Servicing Agreement;


 


(iii)           to
the Servicer, for amounts due and unpaid in respect of the Total Servicing Fee under the Sale and Servicing Agreement;


 


(iv)          to
the Asset Representations Reviewer, any amounts due under the Asset Representations Review Agreement that were not previously paid;


 


(v)           to
the Noteholders of the Notes of each Class, the Note Interest Distributable Amount ratably in proportion to the Note Interest Distributable
Amount for each Class at their respective Interest Rates;


 


(vi)          to
the Noteholders of Class A-1 Notes, the Outstanding Amount of the Class A-1 Notes, until the Class A-1 Notes are
paid in full;


 


(vii)         to
the Noteholders of the Class A-2, Class A-3 and Class A-4 Notes, pro rata in proportion to the Outstanding Amount
of each such Class, until the Class A-2, Class A-3 and Class A-4 Notes are paid in full;


 


(viii)        to
the Certificate Distribution Account for distribution to the Certificateholders, the Certificate Interest Distributable Amount;


 


(ix)           to
the Certificate Distribution Account for distribution to the Certificateholders, the outstanding principal amount of the Trust
Certificates; and


 


(x)            to
the Seller, any remaining amount.


 


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 Issuer shall mail
to each Noteholder and the Indenture Trustee a notice that states the record date, the payment date and the amount to be paid.


 






    28


     


    

 


Section 5.05. Optional Preservation
of the Receivables. If the Notes have been declared to be due and payable under Section 5.02 following an Event of Default
and such declaration and its consequences have not been rescinded and annulled, the Indenture Trustee may, but need not, elect
to maintain possession of the Owner Trust Estate. It is the desire of the parties hereto and the Noteholders that there be at all
times sufficient funds for the payment of any 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 Owner Trust Estate. In determining whether to
maintain possession of the Owner Trust Estate, the Indenture Trustee may, but need not, obtain, at the expense of the Issuer, 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 Owner Trust Estate for such purpose.


 


Section 5.06. Limitation of Suits.
No Noteholder shall have any right to institute any Proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the
appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless:


 


(i)             such
Noteholder has previously given written notice to the Indenture Trustee of a continuing Event of Default;


 


(ii)            the
Event of Default arises from the failure to remit payments when due or the Noteholders of not less than 25% of the Outstanding
Amount have made written request to the Indenture Trustee to institute such Proceeding in respect of such Event of Default in its
own name as Indenture Trustee hereunder;


 


(iii)           such
Noteholder or Noteholders have offered to the Indenture Trustee reasonable indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities
to be incurred in complying with such request;


 


(iv)          the
Indenture Trustee for sixty (60) days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute
such Proceedings; and


 


(v)            no
direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Indenture Trustee during such 60-day period by the Noteholders
of a majority of the Outstanding Amount.


 


It is understood and intended that no one or more Noteholders
shall have any right in any manner whatever 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 to obtain priority or preference over any other Noteholders
or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided.


 


In the event the Indenture Trustee shall receive conflicting
or inconsistent requests and indemnity from two or more groups of Noteholders, each representing less than a majority of the Outstanding
Amount, the Indenture Trustee in its sole discretion may determine what action, if any, shall be taken, notwithstanding any other
provisions of this Indenture. The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any such determination made in good faith.


 






    29


     


    

 


Section 5.07. Unconditional Rights
of Noteholders to Receive Principal and Interest. Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Indenture, the Noteholder of
any Note shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and interest, if any,
on such Note on or after the respective due dates thereof expressed in such Note or in this Indenture (or, in the case of redemption,
on or after the Redemption Date) 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 5.08. 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 for any reason or has been determined adversely to the Indenture
Trustee or to such Noteholder, then and in every such case the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders 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 5.09. Rights and Remedies
Cumulative. No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Indenture Trustee or to the Noteholders is intended
to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and
in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The
assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment
of any other appropriate right or remedy.


 


Section 5.10. Delay or Omission
Not a Waiver. No delay or omission of the Indenture Trustee or any Noteholder of any Note to exercise any right or remedy accruing
upon any Default or Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Default or Event
of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Indenture Trustee or
to the Noteholders 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.


 


Section 5.11. Control by Noteholders.
The Noteholders of Notes representing a majority of the Outstanding Amount 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 or exercising any
trust or power conferred on the Indenture Trustee; provided that:


 


(i)             such
direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture;


 


(ii)            subject
to the terms of Section 5.04, any direction to the Indenture Trustee to sell or liquidate the Owner Trust Estate shall be
by the Noteholders of Notes representing not less than 100% of the Outstanding Amount;


 


(iii)           if
the conditions set forth in Section 5.05 have been satisfied and the Indenture Trustee elects to retain the Owner Trust Estate
pursuant to such Section, then any direction to the Indenture Trustee by the Noteholders of Notes representing less than 100% of
the Outstanding Amount to sell or liquidate the Owner Trust Estate shall be of no force and effect; and


 






    30


     


    

 


(iv)          the
Indenture Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Indenture Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction.


 


Notwithstanding the rights of Noteholders set forth in this
Section, subject to Section 6.01, the Indenture Trustee need not take any action for which it will not be adequately indemnified
or might materially adversely affect the rights of any Noteholders not consenting to such action.


 


Section 5.12. Waiver of Past Defaults.
Prior to the declaration of the acceleration of the maturity of the Notes as provided in Section 5.02, the Noteholders of
Notes of not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount may waive any past Default or Event of Default and its consequences
except a Default (i) in payment of principal of or interest on any of the Notes or (ii) in respect of a covenant or provision
hereof which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of each Noteholder. In the case of any such waiver, the Issuer,
the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders shall respectively be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder; but no
such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereto. Upon any
such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist and be deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred, and any Event of Default
arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred, for every purpose of this Indenture.


 


Section 5.13. Undertaking for Costs.
All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Noteholder by such Noteholder’s acceptance thereof 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 and reasonable expenses, 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; but the provisions of this
Section shall not apply to (i) any suit instituted by the Indenture Trustee, (ii) any suit instituted by any Noteholder,
or group of Noteholders, in each case holding in the aggregate more than 10% of the Outstanding Amount or (iii) any suit instituted
by any Noteholder for the enforcement of the payment of principal of or interest on any Note on or after the respective due dates
expressed in such Note and in this Indenture (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date).


 


Section 5.14. 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, that may 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.


 






    31


     


    

 


Section 5.15. Action on Notes.
The Indenture Trustee’s right to seek and recover judgment on the Notes or under this Indenture shall not be affected by
the seeking, obtaining or application of any other relief under or with respect to this Indenture. Neither the lien of this 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 Owner Trust Estate
or upon any of the assets of the Issuer. Any money or property collected by the Indenture Trustee shall be applied in accordance
with Section 5.04(b).


 


Section 5.16. Performance and Enforcement
of Certain Obligations.


 


(a)            Promptly
following a request from the Indenture Trustee to do so and at the Administrator’s expense, the Issuer shall take all such
lawful action as the Indenture Trustee may request to compel or secure the performance and observance by the Seller or the Servicer,
as applicable, of each of their obligations to the Issuer under or in connection with the Sale and Servicing Agreement in accordance
with the terms thereof, and to exercise any and all rights, remedies, powers and privileges lawfully available to the Issuer under
or in connection with the Sale and Servicing Agreement to the extent and in the manner directed by the Indenture Trustee, including
the transmission of notices of default on the part of the Seller or the Servicer thereunder and the institution of legal or administrative
actions or proceedings to compel or secure performance by the Seller or the Servicer of each of their obligations under the Sale
and Servicing Agreement.


 


(b)           If
an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee may, and at the direction (which direction shall be
in writing) of the Noteholders of at least 66 2/3% of the Outstanding Amount shall, exercise all rights, remedies, powers, privileges
and claims of the Issuer against the Seller or the Servicer under or in connection with the Sale and Servicing Agreement, including
the right or power to take any action to compel or secure performance or observance by the Seller or the Servicer, as applicable,
of each of their obligations to the Issuer thereunder and to give any consent, request, notice, direction, approval, extension
or waiver under the Sale and Servicing Agreement, as applicable, and any right of the Issuer to take such action shall be suspended.


 


ARTICLE VI


 


THE INDENTURE TRUSTEE


 


Section 6.01. Duties of Indenture
Trustee.


 


(a)            If
an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing of which a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee has actual knowledge,
the Indenture Trustee shall 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;
provided, however, that if the Indenture Trustee shall assume the duties of the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.07(e), the
Indenture Trustee in performing such duties shall use the degree of care and skill customarily exercised by a prudent institutional
servicer with respect to installment sale contracts that it services for itself or others.


 






    32


     


    

 


(b)           Except
during the continuance of an Event of Default of which a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee has actual knowledge:


 


(i)             the
Indenture Trustee shall undertake to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture and
no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Indenture Trustee; and


 


(ii)            in
the absence of bad faith 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; however, the Indenture Trustee shall examine the certificates and opinions specifically required to be furnished
pursuant to any provision of this Indenture to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture.


 


(c)           The
Indenture Trustee may not be relieved from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own
willful misconduct, except that:


 


(i)             this
paragraph does not limit the effect of Section 6.01(b);


 


(ii)            the
Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer unless it is proved
that the Indenture Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and


 


(iii)           the
Indenture Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction
received by it pursuant to Section 5.11.


 


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


 


(e)           The
Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the Indenture Trustee may agree in writing
with the Issuer.


 


(f)            Money
held in trust by the Indenture Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law or the terms
of this Indenture or the Sale and Servicing Agreement.


 


(g)           No
provision of this Indenture shall require the Indenture Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability
in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable
grounds to believe that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured
to it.


 


(h)           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 and to the provisions of the TIA.


 






    33


     


    

 


(i)            The
Indenture Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any Event of Default or any breach of a representation or warranty, as
made in the Receivables Purchase Agreement, unless either (i) a Responsible Officer shall have actual knowledge of such Event
of Default or breach, as applicable, or (ii) written notice of such Event of Default, or breach, as applicable, shall have
been received by a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture. The receipt
by the Indenture Trustee of a Review Report shall not obligate the Indenture Trustee to exercise its rights to enforce repurchase
obligations under the Receivables Purchase Agreement unless the Indenture Trustee is directed to do so by a Noteholder or Note
Owner.


 


(j)            The
Indenture Trustee shall have no duty (A) to see to any recording, filing, or depositing of this Indenture or any agreement
referred to herein or any financing statement or continuation 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 to
any insurance, (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 Owner Trust Estate, or (D) to confirm
or verify the contents of any reports or certificates of the Servicer delivered to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Indenture
believed by the Indenture Trustee to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties.


 


Section 6.02. Rights of Indenture
Trustee.


 


(a)            Except
as otherwise provided in the second succeeding sentence, the Indenture Trustee may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected
in acting or refraining from acting upon, any resolution, Officer’s Certificate, Opinion of Counsel, certificate of auditors, Independent
Certificate or any other document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper person. The Indenture
Trustee need not investigate any fact, calculation or matter stated in the document. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indenture
Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished
to the Indenture Trustee that shall be specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, shall
examine them to determine whether they comply as to form to the requirements of this Indenture.


 


(b)           Before
the Indenture Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officer’s Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel. The
Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on an Officer’s
Certificate or Opinion of Counsel.


 


(c)           The
Indenture Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through
agents or attorneys or a custodian or nominee, and the Indenture Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence
on the part of, or for the supervision of, any such agent, attorney, custodian or nominee appointed with due care by it hereunder.


 






    34


     


    

 


(d)           The
Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith which it believes to be authorized
or within its rights or powers; provided, that the Indenture Trustee’s conduct does not constitute willful misconduct, negligence
or bad faith.


 


(e)           The
Indenture Trustee may consult with counsel, and the advice or opinion of counsel with respect to legal matters relating to this
Indenture and the Notes shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect to any action taken,
omitted or suffered by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel.


 


(f)            The
Indenture Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the trusts or powers vested in it by this Indenture or to institute,
conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto at the request, order or direction of any of the Noteholders,
pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, other than requests, demands or directions relating to an asset representations review
pursuant to Section 7.05, unless such Noteholders shall have offered to the Indenture Trustee security or indemnity
reasonably satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby;
provided, however, nothing contained herein shall relieve the Indenture Trustee of the obligation, upon the occurrence of an Event
of Default of which a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee shall have actual knowledge (which has not been cured), to exercise
such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and to 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.


 


(g)           The
right of the Indenture Trustee to perform any discretionary act enumerated in this Indenture shall not be construed as a duty,
and the Indenture Trustee shall not be answerable in the performance of such act for other than its negligence or willful misconduct.


 


(h)           The
Indenture Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or surety in respect of the execution of the Owner Trust Estate created
hereby or the powers granted hereunder.


 


(i)            All
rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Note may be prosecuted and enforced by the Indenture Trustee without the
possession of any of the Notes or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, any such proceeding instituted by
the Indenture Trustee shall be brought in its own name or in its capacity as Indenture Trustee. Any recovery of judgment shall,
after provision for the payments to the Indenture Trustee provided for in Section 6.07, be for the ratable benefit of the
Noteholders in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.


 


(j)             In
no event shall the Indenture Trustee be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder
arising out of or caused by, directly or indirectly, Force Majeure; it being understood that the Indenture Trustee shall use reasonable
efforts which are consistent with accepted practices in the banking industry to resume performances as soon as practicable under
the circumstances.

(k)           The
Indenture Trustee shall not be obligated to monitor, supervise or enforce the performance of the Depositor or Sponsor under the
Basic Documents, except as otherwise expressly required herein or therein.


 


(l)            The
Indenture Trustee shall not be required to take any action it is directed to take under this Indenture if the Indenture Trustee
reasonably determines in good faith that the action so directed would involve the Indenture Trustee in personal liability or violate
applicable law binding upon it (which determination may be based on an Opinion of Counsel).


 


Section 6.03. Individual Rights
of Indenture Trustee. The Indenture Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes
and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Indenture Trustee. Any
Paying Agent, Note Registrar, co-registrar or co-paying agent may do the same with like rights. However, the Indenture Trustee
must comply with Sections 6.11 and 6.12.


 


Section 6.04. Indenture Trustee’s
Disclaimer. The Indenture Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of
this Indenture, the Owner Trust Estate or the Notes, it shall not be accountable for the Issuer’s use of the proceeds from
the Notes, and it shall not be responsible for any statement of the Issuer in this Indenture or in any document issued in connection
with the sale of the Notes or in the Notes other than the Indenture Trustee’s certificate of authentication. The Indenture
Trustee shall have no responsibility for filing any financing or continuation statement in any public office at any time or to
otherwise perfect or maintain the perfection of any security interest or lien granted to it hereunder or to record this Indenture.


 


Section 6.05. Notice of Defaults.
If a Default occurs and is continuing and if it is known to a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee
shall mail to each Noteholder notice of the Default within ninety (90) days after it occurs. Except in the case of a Default in
payment of principal of or interest on any Note (including payments pursuant to the mandatory redemption provisions of such Note),
the Indenture Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines
that withholding the notice is in the interests of Noteholders.


 


Section 6.06. Reports by Indenture
Trustee to Noteholders. The Indenture Trustee shall make available to each Noteholder such information as may be required to
enable each Noteholder to prepare its respective U.S. federal and state income tax returns. The Indenture Trustee will make documents
or information which it is required to provide available to the Noteholders, including, without limitation, the Servicer’s
Certificate, and the Indenture Trustee will post at https://sf.citidirect.com information regarding principal and interest due
and paid on the Notes. The Indenture Trustee shall have the right to change the way such statements are distributed in order to
make such distribution more convenient and/or more accessible to the above parties and the Indenture Trustee shall provide timely
and adequate notification to all above parties regarding any such changes; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee will also
mail copies of any such statements to any Noteholders who so request in writing.

Section 6.07. Compensation and Indemnity.
The Issuer shall, or shall cause the Administrator to, (i) pay to the Indenture Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation
for its services, which compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust, (ii) reimburse
the Indenture Trustee for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it (including reasonable expenses incurred
pursuant to Section 7.05), including without limitation, costs of collection, in addition to the compensation for its
services, which expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee’s
agents, counsel, accountants and experts and (iii) indemnify the Indenture Trustee and its officers, directors, employees
and agents against any and all loss, liability or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by
it in connection with the administration of this trust and the performance of its duties hereunder (including any reasonable legal
fees and expenses incurred by the Indenture Trustee in connection with the enforcement of any indemnification or other obligation
of the Issuer) not resulting from its own willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith. The Indenture Trustee shall notify the Issuer
and the Administrator promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Indenture Trustee to so notify the
Issuer and the Administrator shall not relieve the Issuer or the Administrator of its obligations hereunder. The indemnities contained
in this Section 6.07 shall survive the resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee or the termination of this Indenture.
Absent an Event of Default, in the event of any claim, action or proceeding for which indemnity will be sought pursuant to this
Section 6.07, the Indenture Trustee’s choice of legal counsel shall be subject to the approval of the Depositor (or
if the Depositor is no longer an owner, the designee of the Depositor), which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned,
delayed or denied. Neither the Issuer nor the Administrator need reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability
or expense incurred by the Indenture Trustee (1) through the Indenture Trustee’s own willful misconduct, negligence
or bad faith or (2) in the case of the inaccuracy of any representation or warranty contained in Section 6.13 expressly
made by the Indenture Trustee.


 


The Issuer’s payment obligations to
the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section shall survive the discharge of this Indenture and the resignation or discharge
of the Indenture Trustee and shall extend to any co-trustee or separate trustee appointed pursuant to Section 6.10 hereunder.
When the Indenture Trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence of a Default specified in Section 5.01 (iv) or (v) with
respect to the Issuer, the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under Title 11 of the United States Code
or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.


 


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, other than interest due but not paid on the Notes), even if the Indenture
Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.


 






    37


     


    

 


Section 6.08. Replacement of Indenture
Trustee. No resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee and no appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee shall become
effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section. The Indenture Trustee
may resign at any time by so notifying the Issuer. Noteholders representing a majority of the Outstanding Amount may remove the
Indenture Trustee at any time (with thirty-one (31) days’ prior notice) and appoint a successor Indenture Trustee by so notifying
the Indenture Trustee in writing. The Issuer shall remove the Indenture Trustee (with thirty-one (31) days’ prior notice)
if:


 


(i)             the
Indenture Trustee fails to comply with Section 6.11;


 


(ii)            a
court having jurisdiction in the premises in respect of the Indenture Trustee in an involuntary case or proceeding under federal
or state banking or bankruptcy laws, as now or hereafter constituted, or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency
or other similar law, shall have entered a decree or order granting relief or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian,
trustee, conservator, sequestrator (or similar official) for the Indenture Trustee or for any substantial part of the Indenture
Trustee’s property, or ordering the winding-up or liquidation of the Indenture Trustee’s affairs, provided any such
decree or order shall have continued unstayed and in effect for a period of thirty (30) consecutive days;


 


(iii)           the
Indenture Trustee commences a voluntary case under any federal or state banking or bankruptcy laws, as now or hereafter constituted,
or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, or consents to the appointment of or taking
possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, conservator, sequestrator or other similar official for the
Indenture Trustee or for any substantial part of the Indenture Trustee’s property, or makes any assignment for the benefit
of creditors or fails generally to pay its debts as such debts become due or takes any corporate action in furtherance of any of
the foregoing; or


 


(iv)          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 the 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.


 


A successor Indenture Trustee shall deliver
a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Indenture Trustee and to the Issuer. Thereupon the resignation or removal
of the retiring Indenture Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Indenture Trustee shall have all the rights, powers
and duties of the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Indenture Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession
to the Noteholders. The retiring Indenture Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Indenture Trustee to the
successor Indenture Trustee.


 


If a successor Indenture Trustee does not
take office within sixty (60) days after the retiring Indenture Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Indenture Trustee,
the Issuer or the Noteholders of a majority in Outstanding Amount may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment
of a successor Indenture Trustee.


 


If the Indenture Trustee fails to comply
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.


 






    38


     


    

 


Any resignation or removal of the Indenture
Trustee and appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee pursuant to the provisions of this Section shall not become effective
until acceptance of appointment by the successor Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section and payment of all fees and expenses
owed to the outgoing Indenture Trustee. Notwithstanding the replacement of the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section, the
Issuer’s and the Administrator’s obligations under Section 6.07 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring
Indenture Trustee.


 


Section 6.09. Successor Indenture
Trustee by Merger. If the Indenture Trustee consolidates or merges with, converts or transfers all or substantially all its
corporate trust business or assets to, another corporation or banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation
shall, without any further act, be the successor Indenture Trustee; provided, that such corporation or banking association shall
be otherwise qualified and eligible under Section 6.11. The Indenture Trustee shall provide the Administrator prior written
notice of any such transaction, and in accordance with Section 1.02(c) of the Administration Agreement, the Administrator
will make such notice available to each Rating Agency.


 


In case at the time such successor or successors
by merger, conversion or consolidation 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 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 either in the name of any predecessor
hereunder or in the name of the successor to the Indenture Trustee; and in all such cases such certificates shall have the full
force as is provided anywhere in the Notes or in this Indenture that the certificate of the Indenture Trustee shall have.


 


Section 6.10. Appointment of Co-Trustee
or Separate Trustee.


 


(a)            Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Indenture, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirement of any jurisdiction in which
any part of the Owner Trust Estate may at the time be located, the Indenture Trustee and the Administrator, acting jointly, 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, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity
and for the benefit of the Noteholders, such title to the Owner Trust Estate or any part thereof, 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.
If the Administrator shall not have joined in such appointment within fifteen (15) days after its receipt of a request to do so,
the Indenture Trustee alone shall have the power to make such appointment. 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.


 






    39


     


    

 


(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 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 Owner 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 and the Administrator 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. 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 and a copy thereof given to the Administrator.


 


(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 the time
deposits of the Indenture Trustee shall have a rating that is otherwise acceptable to the Rating Agencies, such that the rating
of the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee or any other bank would not in and of itself result in a qualification, downgrade or
withdrawal of any of the then-current ratings assigned thereby to the Notes (as evidenced by written notice to the Indenture Trustee,
Owner Trustee or any other bank). The Indenture Trustee shall comply with TIA § 310(b); 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.


 






    40


     


    

 


In the event that, (A) the Indenture
Trustee (i) or any of its directors or executive officers is an underwriter, or (ii) directly or indirectly, controls
or is controlled by, or is in common control with, an underwriter; and (B) an Event of Default occurs, the Indenture Trustee
shall comply with TIA § 310(b). For this purpose only and pursuant to TIA § 310(b), an “underwriter” means
any person who, within one year prior to the occurrence of the Event of Default, was an underwriter of any of the notes outstanding
at the time of such Event of Default.


 


Section 6.12. 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 § 31l(a) to the extent
indicated.


 


Section 6.13. Representations and
Warranties of Indenture Trustee. The Indenture Trustee hereby makes the following representations and warranties on which the
Issuer and Noteholders shall rely:


 


(i)             it
is a national banking association duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the United States of
America;


 


(ii)            it
has full power, authority and legal right to execute, deliver, and perform this Indenture and shall have taken all necessary action
to authorize the execution, delivery and performance by it of this Indenture;


 


(iii)           assuming
the necessary authorization, execution and delivery thereof by the other parties thereto, the duties and obligations of the Indenture
Trustee under the Indenture constitute the valid, legal and binding obligations of the Indenture Trustee enforceable in accordance
with its terms except as enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws or equitable principles
limiting creditors’ rights generally, and provided that no representation is expressed as to the availability of equitable
remedies;


 


(iv)          that
to the best knowledge of the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee is not in breach of or default under any law or administrative
rule or regulation of the United States of America, or any department, division, agency or instrumentality thereof, or any
applicable court or administrative decree or order, and which would materially impair the ability of the Indenture Trustee to
perform its obligations under the Indenture; and


 


(v)           that
to the best knowledge of the Indenture Trustee, no authorization, consent or other order of any state or federal government authority
or agency having jurisdiction over the trust powers of the Indenture Trustee are required to be obtained by the Indenture Trustee
for the valid authorization, execution and delivery by the Indenture Trustee of the Indenture or the authentication of the Notes.

otherwise specify) of the request or any requests of (i) all demands communicated to the Indenture Trustee for the repurchase
or replacement of any Receivable for breach of the representations and warranties concerning such Receivable relating to the Issuer
and (ii) any actions taken by the Indenture Trustee with respect to such demand communicated to the Indenture Trustee in respect

feel necessary, provide notification to the Honda Parties with respect to any actions taken by the Indenture Trustee as soon as
practicable and in any event within five (5) Business Days of receipt of such request. Such notices shall be provided to the
Honda Parties in accordance with Section 11.04(iv) of this Indenture. The Indenture Trustee and the Issuer acknowledge
and agree that the purpose of this Section 7.02(e) is to facilitate compliance by the Honda Parties with Rule 15Ga-1
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Items 1104(e), 1121(c) and 1125 of Regulation AB (the “Repurchase
Rules and Regulations”). The Indenture Trustee acknowledges that interpretations of the requirements of the Repurchase
Rules and Regulations may change over time, whether due to interpretive guidance provided by the Commission or its staff,
consensus among participants in the asset-backed securities markets, advice of counsel, or otherwise, and agrees to comply with
reasonable written requests (including email in PDF format) made by the Honda Parties in good faith for delivery of information
in its possession under these provisions on the basis of evolving interpretations of the Repurchase Rules and Regulations.
The Indenture Trustee shall cooperate fully with the Honda Parties to deliver any and all records and any other information in
its possession and necessary in the good faith determination of the Honda Parties to permit them to comply with the provisions
of Repurchase Rules and Regulations. In no event shall the Indenture Trustee have any responsibility or liability in connection
with any filing required to be made by a securitizer under the Repurchase Rules and Regulations.


 


Section 7.03. Reports by Issuer.


 


(a)            The
Issuer shall:


 


(i)            deliver
to the Indenture Trustee, within fifteen (15) days after the Issuer is required to file the same with the Commission, copies of
the annual reports and the information, documents and other reports (or copies of such portions of any of the foregoing as the
Commission may from time to time by rules and regulations prescribe) that the Issuer may be required to deliver to the Commission
pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act;


 


(ii)           deliver
to the Indenture Trustee and the Commission in accordance with rules and regulations prescribed from time to time by the Commission
such additional information, documents and reports with respect to compliance by the Issuer with the conditions and covenants of

this Section 7.03(a) and by rules and regulations prescribed from time to time by the Commission.

2021), the Indenture Trustee shall mail to each Noteholder as required by TIA § 313(c) a brief report dated as of such
date that complies with TIA § 313(a). The Indenture Trustee also shall comply with TIA § 313(b).


 


A copy of each report at the time of its
mailing to Noteholders shall be filed by the Indenture Trustee with the Commission and each stock exchange, if any, on which the
Notes are listed. The Issuer shall promptly notify the Indenture Trustee in writing if and when the Notes are listed on any stock
exchange and of any delisting thereof.


 


Section 7.05. Noteholder and Note
Owner Demand for Asset Representations Review. If the Delinquency Percentage on any Payment Date meets or exceeds the Delinquency
Trigger for that Payment Date, the Servicer shall notify the Noteholders and Note Owners on the Form 10-D filed for that Payment
Date. On or after such Payment Date, an Investor may make a demand on the Indenture Trustee, in accordance with Section 11.03
to cause a vote of the Investors about whether to direct the Asset Representations Reviewer to conduct an Asset Representations
Review under the Asset Representations Review Agreement. The Servicer shall notify Investors of the initiation of such a vote on
the Form 10-D filed for that Payment Date. If Investors of at least 5% in the aggregate of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes,
as of the filing of the Form 10-D that disclosed that the Delinquency Trigger was met or exceeded, demand a vote within ninety
(90) days after the filing of the Form 10-D in which the occurrence of the Delinquency Trigger being met or exceeded was reported,
the Indenture Trustee, in accordance with its standard internal vote solicitation process, will promptly request a vote of the
Noteholders (through the Clearing Agency) and Note Owners. The Indenture Trustee shall set a record date for purposes of determining
the identity of Noteholders or Note Owners, as applicable, entitled to vote in accordance with TIA Section 316(c) as
of the date of filing of the Form 10-D that disclosed that the Delinquency Trigger was met or exceeded. The vote will be initiated
no later than ninety (90) days after the filing of the Form 10-D reporting that the Delinquency Percentage met or exceeded
the Delinquency Trigger for that Payment Date and will remain open until one hundred fifty (150) days after such Form 10-D
filing. The Servicer shall pay the costs, expenses and liabilities incurred by the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee and the
Issuer in connection with the voting process, including the costs and expenses of counsel to such parties. If the Investors of
a majority of the Outstanding Amount of Notes (out of those that are voted) vote in favor of an Asset Representations Review, the
Indenture Trustee will promptly notify the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Issuer, the RPA Seller, the Administrator and the
Servicer of such vote. Following the completion of the voting process, the next Form 10-D filed by the Depositor will disclose
whether or not the Noteholders and Note Owners have voted for an Asset Representations Review.


 






    44


     


    

 


Section 7.06. Voting of Notes Held
by Honda Parties. If any of the Notes are held by any of the Honda Parties or any of their Affiliates, such Notes shall not
be considered for purposes of determining whether a specified percentage of the Outstanding Amount has voted to take any action
under this Indenture or any other Basic Document.

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 apply all such money received

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 a Default or Event of Default under this Indenture
and any right to proceed thereafter as provided in Article V.

amounts and in the following order of priority (except as otherwise provided in Section 5.04(b)):


 


(i)            the
Note Interest Distributable Amount; provided, that if there are not sufficient funds in the Note Distribution Account to pay the

Account shall be applied to the payment of such amount pro rata on the basis of the total Note Interest Distributable Amount due
on the Notes;


 


(ii)           the
Note Principal Distributable Amount (first to the Class A-1 Notes until the Class A-1 Notes are paid in full, second
to the Class A-2 Notes until paid in full, third to the Class A-3 Notes until paid in full, and fourth to the Class A-4
Notes until paid in full);


 


(iii)          notwithstanding
clause (ii) above, on each Payment Date after the Notes have been accelerated as provided in Section 5.02(a) following
the occurrence of an Event of Default, until such time as the Notes have been paid in full, the Note Principal Distributable Amount
shall be paid first to the Class A-1 Notes until the Class A-1 Notes are paid in full and then to the Class A-2,
Class A-3 and Class A-4 Notes on a pro rata basis based on the Outstanding Amount of each such Class of Notes; and


 


(iv)          in

(e)           The
Securities Intermediary.


 


(i)            Citibank
is hereby appointed as the initial securities intermediary with respect to the Collection Account, the Yield Supplement Account
and the Reserve Fund (the “Securities Intermediary”) and Citibank hereby accepts such appointment as Securities
Intermediary. The Securities Intermediary hereby agrees with the parties hereto that the jurisdiction of the Securities Intermediary
with respect to the Collection Account, the Yield Supplement Account and the Reserve Fund shall be the State of New York. The Securities
Intermediary hereby represents and covenants that it is not and will not be (as long as it is the Securities Intermediary hereunder)
a party to any agreement that is inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture. The Securities Intermediary hereby agrees
that any item of property credited to the Collection Account, the Yield Supplement Account or the Reserve Fund shall not be subject
to any security interest, lien, encumbrance or right of setoff in favor of the Securities Intermediary or anyone claiming through
the Securities Intermediary (other than the Indenture Trustee).


 






    46


     


    

 


(ii)           It
is the intent of the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer that each of the Collection Account, the Yield Supplement Account and the
Reserve Fund shall be a securities account of the Indenture Trustee and not an account of the Issuer. In furtherance thereof, the
Securities Intermediary agrees to comply with entitlement orders with respect to and with instructions directing the disposition
of funds held in or credited to the Collection Account, the Yield Supplement Account and the Reserve Fund originated by the Indenture
Trustee without further consent by the Issuer, the Servicer or any other person or entity. The Securities Intermediary hereby covenants
that it will not agree with any person or entity other than the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer and the Servicer that it will comply
with entitlement orders originated by any person or entity, or instructions regarding the disposition of funds, with respect to
such Accounts other than the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer and the Servicer. The Securities Intermediary hereby agrees (A) to
treat all Account Property as Financial Assets, and (B) that all Account Property will be physically delivered to (accompanied
by any required endorsements) to, or credited to an account in the name of, the Securities Intermediary in accordance with the
Securities Intermediary’s customary procedures such that the Securities Intermediary establishes a Security Entitlement in
favor of the Indenture Trustee with respect thereto over which the Indenture Trustee has Control.


 


(iii)          Any
successor Securities Intermediary shall be required to make the same representations and covenants as set forth above in clauses
(i) and (ii).


 


(iv)          Nothing
herein shall imply or impose upon the Securities Intermediary any duties or obligations other than those expressly set forth herein
and those applicable to a securities intermediary under the UCC (and the Securities Intermediary shall be entitled to all of the
protections available to a securities intermediary under the UCC). Without limiting the foregoing, nothing herein shall imply or
impose upon the Securities Intermediary any duties of a fiduciary nature (such as the fiduciary duties of the Indenture Trustee
hereunder).


 


(v)           The
rights and powers granted herein to the Indenture Trustee, and the covenants and obligations of the Securities Intermediary hereunder,
have been granted in order to perfect the Indenture Trustee’s security interest in the Collection Account, the Yield Supplement
Account and the Reserve Fund, and such rights, powers, covenants and obligations hereunder shall continue in effect with respect
to the Collection Account, the Yield Supplement Account and the Reserve Fund until the Outstanding Amount of the Notes has been
reduced to zero.


 


(vi)          The
Indenture Trustee, to the extent it is acting in the capacity as Securities Intermediary with respect to the Accounts, represents,
warrants and covenants that:


 


(A)            it
is a “securities intermediary,” as such term is defined in Section 8-102(a)(14)(B) of the relevant UCC;


 






    47


     


    

 


(B)            pursuant
to Section 8-110(e)(1) of the relevant UCC for purposes of the relevant UCC, the jurisdiction of the Securities Intermediary
is the law of the State of New York; and


 


(C)            the
Securities Intermediary has and shall continue to have at all relevant times one or more offices in the United States of America
engaged in a business or other regular activity of maintaining securities accounts.


 


(vii)         To
the extent that there are any other agreements with the Indenture Trustee or the Securities Intermediary governing the Accounts,
the parties agree that each and every such agreement is hereby amended to provide that with respect to the Accounts, the law applicable
to all issues specified in Article 2(1) of the Hague Securities Convention shall be the laws of the State of New York.


 


Section 8.03. General Provisions
Regarding Accounts.


 


(a)           So
long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all or a portion of the funds in the Reserve Fund
and the Yield Supplement Account shall be invested in Eligible Investments and reinvested by the Securities Intermediary upon the
written direction of the Servicer, subject to the provisions of Section 4.01(b) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement.
All income or other gain from investments of monies deposited in the Reserve Fund and the Yield Supplement Account shall be credited
to such Account, and any loss resulting from such investments shall be charged to such Account.


 


(b)           To
the extent that the Servicer is required to remit all payments received from or on behalf of the Obligors on or in respect of the
Receivables and all Net Liquidation Proceeds daily to the Collection Account as provided in Section 4.02 of the Sale and Servicing
Agreement, all or a portion of the funds in the Collection Account may be invested in Eligible Investments and reinvested by the
Securities Intermediary upon the written direction of the Servicer, subject to the provisions of Section 4.01(b) of the
Sale and Servicing Agreement. All income or other gain from investments of monies deposited in the Collection Account, if any,
shall be paid to the Servicer as part of the Supplemental Servicing Fee, and any loss resulting from such investments shall be
charged to the Collection Account in accordance with Section 4.01(b) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement.


 


(c)           Subject
to Section 6.01(c), the Securities Intermediary shall not in any way be held liable by reason of any insufficiency in any
of the Reserve Fund, the Yield Supplement Account or the Collection Account resulting from any loss on any Eligible Investment
included therein except for losses attributable to the Securities Intermediary’s failure to make payments on such Eligible
Investments issued by the Securities Intermediary, in its commercial capacity as principal obligor and not as trustee, in accordance
with their terms.


 


(d)           If
(i) the Servicer shall have failed to give investment directions for any funds on deposit in the Reserve Fund, Yield Supplement
Account or Collection Account to the Securities Intermediary by 2:00 P.M., New York Time (or such other time as may be agreed
by the Issuer and the Securities Intermediary) on any Business Day or (ii) to the knowledge of a Responsible Officer of the
Indenture Trustee a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the Notes but the Notes
shall not have been declared due and payable pursuant to Section 5.02 or (iii) if such Notes shall have been declared
due and payable following an Event of Default but amounts collected or receivable from the Owner Trust Estate are being applied
in accordance with Section 5.05 as if there had not been such a declaration, then the Indenture Trustee upon actual knowledge
by a Responsible Officer of such event shall, in the case of clause (i) above, maintain such funds in cash or, in the case
of clauses (ii) or (iii) above, to the fullest extent practicable, invest and reinvest funds in the Reserve Fund, Yield
Supplement Account or Collection Account as specified in the most recent investment direction received by the Securities Intermediary
from the Servicer.

Section 8.04. Release of Owner Trust
Estate.


 


(a)           Subject
to the payment of its fees and expenses pursuant to Section 6.07, 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 that 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 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 shall, at such time as there are no Notes Outstanding and all sums due the Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 6.07
have been paid, release any remaining portion of the Owner Trust Estate that secured the Notes from the lien of this Indenture
and release to the Issuer or any other Person entitled thereto any funds then on deposit in the Accounts. The Indenture Trustee
shall release property from the lien of this Indenture pursuant to this Section 8.04(b) only upon receipt of an Issuer
Request 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) meeting the applicable requirements of Section 11.01. Such
release shall be deemed to have been made upon completion of the requirements set forth in the foregoing sentence.


 


Section 8.05. Opinion of Counsel.
The Indenture Trustee shall receive at least seven (7) days written notice when requested by the Issuer, unless such notice
requirement is waived by the Indenture Trustee, to take any action pursuant to Section 8.04(a), accompanied by copies of any
instruments involved, and the Indenture Trustee shall also require, as a condition to such action, an Opinion of Counsel, in form
and substance 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 Owner Trust Estate. 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.

whereupon all such Notes shall be due and payable on the Redemption Date upon the furnishing of a notice complying with Section 10.02
to each Noteholder.

(v)           that
on the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price will become due and payable upon each Note and that interest thereon shall cease to
accrue from and after the Redemption Date.


 


Notice of redemption of the Notes shall be given by the Indenture
Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Issuer. Failure to give notice of redemption, or any defect therein, to any Noteholder
of any Note shall not impair or affect the validity of the redemption of any other Note.


 


Section 10.03. Notes Payable on
Redemption Date. The Notes or portions thereof to be redeemed shall, following notice of redemption as required by Section 10.02,
on the Redemption Date become due and payable at the Redemption Price and (unless the Issuer shall default in the payment of the

for purposes of calculating the Redemption Price.

of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes.


 


(iii)          Other
than with respect to any release described in clause (A) or (B) of Section 11.01(b)(v), 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 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 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
an Independent Certificate as to the same matters if the fair value of the property or securities and of all other property (other
than property described in clauses (A) or (B) of Section 11.01 (b)(v)) 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 Amount, 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 Amount.


 






    55


     


    

 


(v)           Notwithstanding
Section 2.12 or any other provision of this Section, the Issuer may, without compliance with the requirements of the other
provisions of this Section, (A) collect, liquidate, sell or otherwise dispose of Receivables and Financed Vehicles as and
to the extent permitted or required by the Basic Documents and (B) make cash payments out of the Accounts as and to the extent
permitted or required by the Basic 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 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 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 Seller, the Issuer or the Administrator, stating that the
information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the Servicer, the Seller, the Issuer or the Administrator,
unless such 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 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.


 






    56


     


    

 


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 agents duly appointed in writing; 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 (subject to Section 6.01) conclusive
in favor of the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer, if made in the manner provided in this Section.


 


(b)           The
fact and date of the execution by any person of any such instrument or writing may be proved in any manner that 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 any Noteholder shall bind the Noteholder
of every Note issued upon the registration thereof or 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.


 


Section 11.04. Notices, etc.,
to Indenture Trustee, Issuer and Rating Agencies. (a)  Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent,
waiver or Act of Noteholders or other documents provided or permitted by this Indenture shall be in writing and if such request,
demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Noteholders is to be made upon, given or furnished to or filed
with:


 


(i)            the
Indenture Trustee by any Noteholder or by the Issuer shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished
or filed in writing and mailed first-class, postage prepaid, overnight delivery service or facsimile to or with the Indenture Trustee
at its Corporate Trust Office, or (as to notices sent by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee only) if sent by electronic mail,
to an address provided by the Indenture Trustee in writing, or


 


(ii)           the
Issuer by the Indenture Trustee or by any Noteholder shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if in writing and mailed first-class,
postage prepaid, overnight delivery service or facsimile to the Issuer addressed to the address set forth on Schedule A to the
Sale and Servicing Agreement or at any other address previously furnished in writing to the Indenture Trustee by the Issuer or
the Administrator. The Issuer shall promptly transmit any notice received by it from the Noteholders to the Indenture Trustee.


 






    57


     


    

 


(iii)          (a) Notices
required to be given to each Rating Agency by the Issuer or the Administrator shall be in writing, personally delivered, couriered
or mailed by certified mail, return receipt requested, electronic mail (if an address therefore has been provided by the respective
party in writing) or overnight delivery service to the address set forth for such Rating Agency on Schedule A to the Sale and
Servicing Agreement; or at such other address (including electronic mail addresses) as shall be designated by written notice to
the party or parties providing notice under this paragraph.


 


(b)           Notwithstanding
subsection (iii)(a) above, notices required to be given to each Rating Agency by the Issuer or the Administrator, as the case
may be, may be made available by the Administrator through a website post, provided that the Administrator shall inform or cause
each Rating Agency to be informed in writing (including by electronic mail) that a notice has been posted.


 


(i)            Notices
required to be given to the Honda Parties pursuant to Section 7.02(e) shall be in writing, personally delivered or mailed
by certified mail, return receipt requested, or overnight delivery service, by facsimile or by electronic mail (if an address therefore
has been provided by the Honda Parties in writing) to the address set forth on Schedule A to the Sale and Servicing Agreement.


 


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, first-class, postage prepaid to each Noteholder affected by such
event, at such Noteholder’s 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 that 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 a waiver.


 


In case, by reason of the suspension of
regular mail service as a result of a strike, work stoppage or similar activity, 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 each Rating Agency, failure to give such notice shall not affect any other rights or obligations created hereunder, and shall
not under any circumstance constitute a Default or Event of Default.


 


Section 11.06. Alternate Payment
and Notice Provisions. Notwithstanding any provision of this Indenture or any of the Notes to the contrary, the Issuer may
enter into any agreement with any Noteholder of a Note providing for a method of payment, or notice by the Indenture Trustee or
any Paying Agent to such Noteholder, 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.


 






    58


     


    

 


Section 11.07. Conflict with Trust
Indenture Act. 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 Trust Indenture Act, such required provision shall control.


 


The provisions of TIA Sections 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 and the Notes by the Issuer shall bind its successors and assigns, whether so expressed
or not. All 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 of this Indenture and the Notes 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, the Trustees
and their successors hereunder, the Noteholders, and any other party secured hereunder, and any other Person with an ownership
interest in any part of the Owner Trust Estate, 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 Note’s 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 and effect as if made on the date on which nominally due, and no interest shall accrue for the period from
and after any such nominal date.


 


Section 11.13. Governing Law; Submission
to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. THIS INDENTURE SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW
YORK, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS, AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL
BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS. Regardless of any provision in any other agreement,
for purposes of the UCC, New York shall be deemed to be the Securities Intermediary’s jurisdiction, and the law of the State
of New York shall govern all issues specified in Article 2(1) of the Hague Securities Convention.


 






    59


     


    

 


Each of the parties hereto hereby submits
to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and of any New York State
court sitting in New York City for purposes of all legal proceedings arising out of or relating to this Indenture or the transactions
contemplated hereby. Each of the parties hereto hereby further irrevocably waives any claim that any such courts lack jurisdiction
over such party, and agrees not to plead or claim, in any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Indenture in any of the
aforesaid courts, that any such court lacks jurisdiction over such party. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably waives, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such proceeding
brought in such a court and any claim that any such proceeding brought in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.


 


Each party hereto hereby waives, to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any litigation directly or indirectly
arising out of, under or in connection with this Indenture.


 


Section 11.14. Counterparts; Electronic
Transmission.


 


(a)           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. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of
this Indenture may be electronically signed, and that any digital or electronic signatures (including pdf, facsimile or electronically
imaged signatures provided by DocuSign or any other digital signature provider as specified in writing to the Indenture Trustee)
appearing on this Agreement or such other documents are the same as handwritten signatures for the purposes of validity, enforceability
and admissibility, and that delivery of any such electronic signature to, or a signed copy of, this Agreement and such other documents
may be made by facsimile, email or other electronic transmission. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,”
 “delivery,” and words of like import in or relating to any document to be signed in connection with this Indenture
and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to include electronic signatures, deliveries or the keeping of records
in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature,
physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for
in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act or any other similar state
laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.


 


(b)           The
Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Delaware Trustee and the Issuer are authorized to accept written instructions, directions,
reports, notices or other communications signed manually, by way of faxed signatures, or delivered by Electronic Transmission.
In the absence of bad faith or negligence on its part, each of the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Delaware Trustee
and the Issuer may conclusively rely on the fact that the Person sending instructions, directions, reports, notices or other communications
or information by Electronic Transmission is, in fact, a Person authorized to give such instructions, directions, reports, notices
or other communications or information on behalf of the party purporting to send such Electronic Transmission and, in the absence
of bad faith or negligence, shall not have any liability for any losses, liabilities, costs or expenses incurred or sustained
by any party as a result of such reliance upon or compliance with such instructions, directions, reports, notices or other communications
or information to the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Delaware Trustee or the Issuer, including, without limitation,
the risk of either the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Delaware Trustee or the Issuer acting on unauthorized instructions,
notices, reports or other communications or information, and the risk of interception and misuse by third parties.


 






    60


     


    

 


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 may be counsel to the Indenture Trustee or any other 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 Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee have no such obligations
in their 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 of the Issuer hereunder,
the Owner Trustee shall be subject to, and entitled to the benefits of, the terms and provisions of Articles VI, VII and VIII of
the Trust Agreement as if specifically set forth herein.


 


Section 11.17. No Petition.
The Indenture Trustee, by entering into this Indenture, and each Noteholder, by accepting a Note, hereby covenant and agree that
they will not at any time institute against the Issuer, or join in any institution against the Issuer of, any bankruptcy, reorganization,
arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, or other proceedings under any U.S. federal or state bankruptcy or similar
law in connection with any obligations relating to the Notes, this Indenture or any of the other Basic Documents.


 






    61


     


    

 


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 accounting books, 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 and Independent certified public accountants, all at such reasonable
times and as often as may be reasonably requested. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the foregoing shall not be
construed to prohibit (i) the disclosure of any and all information that is or becomes publicly known, or information obtained
by the Indenture Trustee from sources other than the Servicer or the Issuer, (ii) the disclosure of any and all information
(A) if required to do so by any applicable law, rule or regulation, (B) to any government agency or regulatory
body having or claiming authority to regulate or oversee any aspects of the Indenture Trustee’s business or that of its
affiliates, (C) pursuant to any subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar demand or request of any court, regulatory
authority, arbitrator or arbitration to which the Indenture Trustee or any affiliate or an officer, director, employer or shareholder
thereof is a party, (D) in any preliminary or final offering circular, registration statement or contract or other document
pertaining to the transactions contemplated by the Agreement approved in advance by the Servicer or the Issuer or (E) to
any affiliate, independent or internal auditor, agent, employee or attorney of the Indenture Trustee having a need to know the
same for reasons directly related to the ability of the Indenture Trustee to perform its duties hereunder, provided that the Indenture
Trustee advises such recipient of the confidential nature of the information being disclosed, or (iii) any other disclosure
authorized by the Servicer or the Issuer.


 


Section 11.19. [Reserved]


 


Section 11.20. Disclosure of Tax
Treatment. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything herein to the contrary, all persons (and their respective employees, representatives
or other agents) may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the
transaction described herein and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to the
recipient relating to such tax treatment and tax structure. However, any such information relating to the tax treatment or tax
structure shall be required to be kept confidential to the extent necessary to comply with any applicable securities laws.


 


Section 11.21. Intent of the Parties;
Reasonableness. The Indenture Trustee and Issuer acknowledge and agree that the purpose of Section 3.09 and 7.02(e) of
this Indenture is to facilitate compliance by the Issuer and the Depositor with the provisions of Regulation AB and related rules and
regulations of the Commission.


 


Neither the Issuer nor the Administrator
(acting on behalf of the Issuer) shall exercise its right to request delivery of information or other performance under these provisions
other than in good faith, or for purposes other than compliance with federal securities laws, including the Securities Act, the
Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder. Each of the parties hereto agrees that (a) the
obligations of the parties hereunder shall be interpreted in such a manner as to accomplish compliance with Regulation AB, (b) the
parties’ obligations hereunder will be supplemented and modified as necessary to be consistent with any such amendments,
interpretive advice or guidance from the Securities and Exchange Commission, convention or consensus among active participants
in the asset-backed securities markets, or otherwise in respect of the requirements of Regulation AB as they may be applied by
the Securities and Exchange Commission to the Issuer in connection with the Notes and (c) the parties shall comply with reasonable
requests made by or on behalf of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee for delivery of additional or different information, to the
extent such information is available, as the person requesting such information may determine in good faith is necessary for it
to comply with the provisions of Regulation AB. Any and all expenses incurred by the Indenture Trustee in compliance with this
Section shall be considered indemnities payable in accordance with Section 6.07 hereof.


 






    62


     


    

 



 


The Issuer (or the Administrator, acting
on behalf of the Issuer) shall cooperate with the Indenture Trustee by providing timely notice of requests for information under
these provisions and by reasonably limiting such requests to information required, in the reasonable judgment of the Issuer to
comply with Regulation AB.


 


Section 11.22. Owner Trustee.
The parties hereto agree that this Indenture is executed and delivered by the Owner Trustee, 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 Amended
and Restated Trust Agreement; each of the representations, undertakings and agreements herein made on the part of the Issuer are
made and intended not as personal representations, undertakings and agreements by The Bank of New York Mellon or BNY Mellon Trust
of Delaware but are made and intended for the purpose of binding only the Issuer; and under no circumstances shall The Bank of
New York Mellon or BNY Mellon Trust of Delaware be personally liable for the inaccuracy or breach of any statements made by the
Issuer in this Indenture.


 


Section 11.23. U.S.A. Patriot Act.
The parties hereto acknowledge that in accordance with Section 326 of the U.S.A. Patriot Act, the Indenture Trustee, like
all financial institutions and in order to help fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering, is required to obtain, verify,
and record information that identifies each person or legal entity that establishes a relationship or opens an account with the
Indenture Trustee. The parties to this Indenture agree that they will provide the Indenture Trustee with such information about
the Owner Trustee as it may request in order for the Indenture Trustee to satisfy the requirements of the U.S.A. Patriot Act.


 


Section 11.24. Communications with
Rating Agencies. If the Indenture Trustee shall receive any written or oral communication from any Rating Agency (or any of
their respective officers, directors or employees) with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby or under the Basic Documents
or in any way relating to the Notes, the Indenture Trustee agrees to refrain from communicating with such Rating Agency and to
promptly notify the Administrator of such communication. The Indenture Trustee agrees to coordinate with the Administrator with
respect to any communication received from a Rating Agency and further agrees that in no event shall the Indenture Trustee engage
in any oral communication with respect to the substance of the transactions contemplated hereby or under the Basic Documents or
in any way relating to the Notes, with any Rating Agency (or any of their respective officers, directors or employees) without
the participation of the Administrator.


 


The Indenture Trustee will not be responsible
for delays attributable to the Administrator’s failure to deliver any information related to any communication with a Rating
Agency (with respect to this section, the “Information”), defects in the Information supplied to the Rating
Agency or Administrator or other circumstances beyond the control of the Indenture Trustee. The Indenture Trustee shall be under
no obligation to make any determination as to the veracity or applicability of any Information provided to it, or whether any such
Information is required to be maintained on a website or other public medium.

This Note is one of
a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Issuer, designated as its ___% Asset Backed Notes, Class [A-1] [A-2] [A-3] [A-4] (the
 “Class [A-1] [A-2] [A-3] [A-4] Notes”), all issued under the Indenture, to which Indenture and all indentures
supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights and obligations thereunder of the Issuer,
the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders. The Notes are subject to all terms of the Indenture. Capitalized terms used herein that
are not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Sale and Servicing Agreement.


 


The Class A-1
Notes, the Class A-2 Notes, the Class A-3 Notes and the Class A-4 Notes (collectively, the “Notes”)
are and will be equally and ratably secured by the collateral pledged as security therefore, except as provided in the Indenture
or the Sale and Servicing Agreement.


 


Principal payable on
the Notes will be paid on each Payment Date in the amount specified in the Indenture and in the Sale and Servicing Agreement. As
described above, the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note will be payable on the earlier of the Class [A-1] [A-2] [A-3]
[A-4] Final Scheduled Payment Date and the Redemption Date, if any, selected pursuant to the Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
under certain circumstances, the entire unpaid principal amount of the Class [A-1] [A-2] [A-3] [A-4] Notes shall be due and

on the Class [A-1] [A-2] [A-3] [A-4] Notes shall be made pro rata to the Class [A-1] [A-2] [A-3] [A-4] Noteholders entitled
thereto.


 


Payments of principal
and interest on this Note due and payable on each Payment Date or Redemption Date shall be made by check mailed to the Person whose
name appears as the registered Noteholder of this Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) on the Note Register as of the close

of the Depository (initially, such nominee to be Cede & Co.), payments will be made by wire transfer in immediately available
funds to the account designated by such nominee]. Such checks shall be mailed to the Person entitled thereto at the address of
such Person as it appears on the Note Register as of the applicable Record Date without requiring that this Note be submitted for

payments made on any Payment Date or Redemption Date shall be binding upon all future Noteholders of this Note and of any Note
issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not noted hereon. If funds
are expected to be available, as provided in the Indenture or the Sale and Servicing Agreement, for payment in full of the remaining
unpaid principal amount of this Note on a Payment Date or Redemption Date, then the Indenture Trustee, in the name of and on behalf
of the Issuer, will notify the Person who was the registered Noteholder hereof as of the Record Date preceding such Payment Date

    A-1-6 


     


    

 


As provided in the
Indenture and subject to the limitations set forth therein and on the face hereof, the transfer of this Note may be registered
on the Note Register upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency designated by the Issuer
pursuant to the Indenture, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Indenture
Trustee duly executed by, the Noteholder hereof or such Noteholder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, with such signature
guaranteed by an “eligible guarantor institution” meeting the requirements of the Note Registrar, which requirements
include membership or participation in the Securities Transfer Agent’s Medallion Program (“STAMP”) or such other
 “signature guarantee program” as may be determined by the Note Registrar in addition to, or in substitution for, STAMP,
all in accordance with the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and thereupon one or more new Notes of authorized denominations
and in the same aggregate principal amount will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. No service charge will be
charged for any registration of transfer or exchange of this Note, but the transferor may be required to pay a sum sufficient to
cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any such registration of transfer or exchange.


 


Each Noteholder or
Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note, covenants and agrees that
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 the Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered in connection 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 or employee 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 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.


 


Each Noteholder or
Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note, covenants and agrees by accepting
the benefits of the Indenture that such Noteholder or Note Owner will not at any time institute against the Depositor or the Issuer,
or join in any institution against the Depositor or the Issuer of, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation
proceedings under any U.S. federal or state bankruptcy or similar law in connection with any obligations relating to the Notes,
the Indenture or the other Basic Documents.


 


By acquiring this Note
(or interest herein), each purchaser and transferee (and if the purchaser or transferee is a Plan, its fiduciary) is deemed to
represent and warrant that either (i) it is not acquiring the Note (or interest therein) with the assets of a Benefit Plan
Investor or a Plan that is subject to Similar Law; or (ii) the acquisition and holding of the Note (or interest therein) will
not give rise to, in the case of a Benefit Plan Investor, a nonexempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or
Section 4975 of the Code or, in the case of a Plan that is subject to Similar Law, a violation of Similar Law.


 


The Issuer has entered
into the Indenture and this Note is issued with the intention that, for U.S. federal income, state and local income and franchise
tax purposes, the Notes will qualify as indebtedness secured by the Owner Trust Estate. Each Noteholder (other than a Noteholder
of a Retained Note), by acceptance of a Note (and each Note Owner by acceptance of a beneficial interest in a Note), agrees to
treat the Notes for U.S. federal income, state and local income and franchise tax purposes as indebtedness.


 






    A-1-7 


     


    

 


Prior to the due presentment
for registration of transfer of this Note, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee
may treat the Person in whose name this Note (as of the day of determination or as of such other date as may be specified in the
Indenture) is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and none of the Issuer, the
Indenture Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.


 


The Indenture permits,
with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Issuer
and the rights of the Noteholders under the Indenture at any time by the Issuer with the consent of the Noteholders of Notes representing
a majority of the Outstanding Amount of all Notes at the time Outstanding. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the
Noteholders of Notes representing specified percentages of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, on behalf of the Noteholders of
all the Notes, to waive compliance by the Issuer with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture
and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Noteholder of this Note (or any one or more Predecessor Notes) shall
be conclusive and binding upon such Noteholder and upon all future Noteholders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration
of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this
Note. The Indenture also permits the Indenture Trustee to amend or waive certain terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture
without the consent of Noteholders of the Notes issued thereunder.


 


The Notes are issuable
only in registered form in denominations as provided in the Indenture, subject to certain limitations therein set forth.


 


This Note shall be
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without reference to its conflict of law provisions, and the obligations,
rights and remedies of the parties hereunder and thereunder shall be determined in accordance with such laws.

Torrance, California 90501


Ladies and Gentlemen:


 


In connection with our proposed purchase
of such of the Class [__] Notes that are Retained Notes (the “Retained Notes”) of Honda Auto Receivables
2021-1 Owner Trust (the “Issuing Entity”), we confirm that:


 


1.            We
understand that such Retained Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”)
but were retained by American Honda Finance Corporation (the “Sponsor”), and may not be sold except as permitted
in the following sentence. We understand and agree, on our own behalf and on behalf of any accounts for which we are acting as
hereinafter stated, (x) that such Retained Notes are being offered only in a transaction not involving any public offering
within the meaning of the 1933 Act and (y) that such Retained Notes may be resold, pledged or transferred only (i) to
the Sponsor or an Affiliate, (ii) to an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a)(1),(2),(3) or
(7) of Regulation D under the 1933 Act (an “Accredited Investor”) acting for its own account (and not for the
account of others) or as a fiduciary or agent for others (which others also are Accredited Investors unless the holder is a bank
acting in its fiduciary capacity) that executes a certificate substantially in the form hereof, (iii) so long as such Retained
Note is eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A under the 1933 Act (“Rule 144A”), to a person whom we reasonably
believe after due inquiry is a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A, acting for its own account
(and not for the account of others) or as a fiduciary or agent for others (which others also are “qualified institutional
buyers”) to whom notice is given that the resale, pledge or transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A or (iv) in
a sale, pledge or other transfer made in a transaction otherwise exempt from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act, in
which case the Sponsor shall require that both the prospective transferor and the prospective transferee certify to the Indenture
Trustee and the Sponsor in writing the facts surrounding such transfer, which certification shall be in form and substance satisfactory
to the Issuer and the Sponsor. Except in the case of a transfer described in clauses (i) or (iii) above, the Sponsor
shall require that a written opinion of counsel (which will not be at the expense of the Sponsor, any Affiliate of the Sponsor,
the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee), reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer and the Sponsor, be delivered to the Issuer,
the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and the Sponsor to the effect that such transfer will not violate the 1933 Act, and will
be effected in accordance with any applicable securities laws of each state of the United States. We will notify any purchaser
of the Retained Notes from us of the above resale restrictions, if then applicable. We further understand that in connection with
any transfer of the Retained Notes by us that the Issuer and the Sponsor may request, and if so requested we will furnish, such
certificates and other information as they may reasonably require to confirm that any such transfer complies with the foregoing
restrictions.


 






    C-1 


     


    

 


2.            [CHECK
ONE]


 


(a)            We
are an Accredited Investor acting for our own account (and not for the account of others) or as a fiduciary or agent for others
(which others also are Accredited Investors unless we are a bank acting in its fiduciary capacity). We have such knowledge and
experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of our investment in the Retained
Notes, and we and any accounts for which we are acting are each able to bear the economic risk of our or their investment for an
indefinite period of time. We are acquiring the Retained Notes or investment and not with a view to, or for offer and sale in connection
with, a public distribution.


 


(b)            We
are a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined under Rule 144A under the 1933 Act and are acquiring the Retained
Notes for our own account (and not for the account of others) or as a fiduciary or agent for others (which others also are “qualified
institutional buyers”). We are familiar with Rule 144A under the 1933 Act and are aware that the seller of the Retained
Notes and other parties intend to rely on the statements made herein and the exemption from the registration requirements of the
1933 Act provided by Rule 144A.


 


3.            Either
(a) we are not a Plan (as defined below) that is subject to (i) Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act
of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), or Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”)
(each of the foregoing, a “Benefit Plan Investor”), or (ii) a law that is similar to the fiduciary or prohibited
transaction provisions of Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (“Similar Law”) or (b) we and
our fiduciary represent and warrant that the acquisition and holding of this Note (or any interest herein) will not give rise to,
in the case of a Benefit Plan Investor, a nonexempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975
of the Code or, in the case of a Plan that is subject to Similar Law, a violation of Similar Law. For purposes of the foregoing,
the term “Plan” means an “employee benefit plan” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA whether
or not subject to Title I of ERISA, a “plan” as defined in Section 4975 of the Code, or an entity deemed to hold
the plan assets of any of the foregoing.


 


4.            We
understand that the Indenture Trustee, the Sponsor and others will rely upon the truth and accuracy of the foregoing acknowledgments,
representations and agreements, and we agree that if any of the acknowledgments, representations and warranties deemed to have
been made by us by our purchase of the Retained Notes, for our own account or for one or more accounts as to each of which we exercise
sole investment discretion, are no longer accurate, we shall promptly notify the Sponsor.


 


5.            You
are entitled to rely upon this letter and you are irrevocably authorized to produce this letter or a copy hereof to any interested
party in any administrative or legal proceeding or official inquiry with respect to the matters covered hereby.
