The Series 2016-1 Notes shall be substantially in the form set out in Exhibit 1 to this Supplement, with such changes therefrom, if any, as may be approved by the Purchasers and the Company.

The obligations of the Purchasers hereunder are several and not joint obligations and no Purchaser shall have any liability to any Person for the performance or non-performance by any other Purchaser hereunder.
