The Indenture Trustee shall, upon Issuer Order, authenticate and deliver Class A-1 Notes for original issue in an aggregate principal amount
of $162,800,000, Class A-2-A Notes for original issue in an aggregate principal amount of $120,000,000, Class A-2-B Notes for original issue in an aggregate principal amount of $222,000,000, Class A-3 Notes for original issue in an aggregate

		 	3	 	2016-1 Indenture









 
$58,860,000. The Note Balance of Class A-1 Notes, Class A-2-A Notes, Class A-2-B Notes, Class A-3 Notes, Class B Notes, Class C Notes, Class D Notes and Class E Notes Outstanding at any
time may not exceed such amounts except as provided in Section 2.5. 
 Each Note shall be dated the date of its
authentication. The Investment Grade Notes shall be issuable as registered Notes in the minimum denomination of $1,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof (except for one Note of each Class which may be issued in a
denomination other than an integral multiple of $1,000). The Non-Investment Grade Notes shall be issuable as registered Notes in the minimum denomination of $1,475,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof (except for one Note
which may be issued in a denomination other than an integral multiple of $1,000). 
 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 2.3 Temporary Notes. Pending the preparation of Definitive Notes, the Issuer may execute, and upon receipt of an Issuer
Order, the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Notes which 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 3.2, without charge to the
Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Notes, the Issuer shall execute and the Indenture Trustee upon Issuer Order shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like 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. 

SECTION 2.4 Registration of Transfer and Exchange. 

(a) 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 transfers of Notes. The Indenture Trustee shall initially be “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 shall 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 

  

					
		 	4	 	2016-1 Indenture









 
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 conclusively rely upon
a certificate executed on behalf of the Note Registrar by a Responsible Officer thereof as to the names and addresses of the Noteholders and the principal amounts and number of such Notes. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, for so long as Wells Fargo Bank, National Association is acting as the Indenture Trustee hereunder, it shall
also act as the Note Registrar. 
 (b) Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note at the office or agency
of the Issuer to be maintained as provided in Section 3.2, if the requirements of Section 8-401 of the UCC are met, the Issuer shall execute and upon its written request 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, in any authorized denominations, of the same Class and a like aggregate outstanding principal amount. 

At the option of the related Noteholder, Notes may be exchanged for other Notes in any authorized denominations, of the same Class and a like
Note Balance, upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Notes are so surrendered for exchange, if the requirements of Section 8-401 of the UCC are met the Issuer shall execute and, upon Issuer Request,
the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and the related Noteholder shall obtain from the Indenture Trustee, the Notes which the Noteholder making the exchange is entitled to receive. 

(c) 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. 

(d) Every Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be (i) duly endorsed by, or be
accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form and substance satisfactory to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee duly executed by the Noteholder thereof or its attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing, with such signature guaranteed by
an “eligible grantor institution” meeting the requirements of the Note Registrar which requirements include membership or participation in the Securities Transfer Agents 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 and (ii) accompanied by such other documents as the Indenture Trustee may
require, including but not limited to the applicable IRS Form W-8 or W-9. 
 (e) No service charge shall be made to
a Noteholder for any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, but the Issuer 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 2.3 or Section 9.6 not involving any transfer. 
 The preceding
provisions of this Section 2.4 notwithstanding, the Issuer shall not be required to make and the Note Registrar need not register transfers or exchanges of any Notes selected for redemption or of any Note for a period of 15 days preceding the
Redemption Date or any Payment Date, as applicable. 

  

					
		 	5	 	2016-1 Indenture









 SECTION 2.5 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, and (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, 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” (as contemplated by
Article 8 of the UCC), and provided that the requirements of Section 8-405 of the UCC are met, 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; provided that if any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, but not a mutilated Note, shall have become or within seven days shall be due and payable, or shall have been called
for redemption, instead of issuing a replacement Note, the Issuer may upon delivery of the security or indemnity herein required 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” (as contemplated by Article 8 of the UCC) 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” (as contemplated by Article 8 of the UCC), 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. 

Upon the issuance of any replacement Note under this Section 2.5, the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee may require the payment by the
Noteholder 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 2.5 in replacement of any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen
Note shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Issuer and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder. 

The provisions of this Section 2.5 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 2.6 Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due
presentment for registration of transfer of any Note, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee shall 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 

  

					
		 	6	 	2016-1 Indenture









 
and interest, if any, on such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note be overdue, and neither the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee nor any agent of the Issuer or the
Indenture Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
 SECTION 2.7 Payment of Principal and Interest; Defaulted Interest. 

 (a) Each of the Notes shall accrue interest at its respective Interest Rate, and such interest shall be due and
payable on each Payment Date as specified therein, subject to Sections 3.1 and 8.2. Any installment of interest or principal, if any, due and payable on any Note which 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 2.12, 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 or on the Final
Scheduled Payment Date for such Class (and except for the Redemption Price for any Note called for redemption pursuant to Section 10.1) which shall be payable as provided below. The funds represented by any such checks returned undelivered
shall be held in accordance with Section 3.3. 
 (b) The principal of each Note shall be payable in installments
on each Payment Date as provided in Section 8.2. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire unpaid Note Balance and all accrued interest thereon shall be due and payable, if not previously paid, on the earlier of (i) the date on which an
Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, if the Indenture Trustee or the Holders of a majority of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class have declared the Notes to be immediately due and payable in the manner provided in Section
5.2 and (ii) with respect to any Class of Notes, on the Final Scheduled Payment Date for that Class. 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 on the Record Date preceding the Payment Date on which Indenture Trustee expects that the final installment of principal of and interest on such Note will be
paid. Such notice shall be transmitted 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. Notices in connection with redemptions of Notes shall be mailed to Noteholders as provided in Section 10.2. 

(c) If the Issuer defaults on a payment of interest on any Class of Notes, the Issuer shall pay defaulted interest (plus
interest on such defaulted interest to the extent lawful at the applicable Interest Rate for such Class of Notes), which shall be due and payable on the Payment Date following such default. The Issuer shall pay such defaulted interest to the
Persons who are Noteholders on the Record Date for such following Payment Date. 
 SECTION 2.8 Cancellation. All Notes
surrendered for payment, registration of transfer, exchange or redemption shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Indenture Trustee, be 

  

					
		 	7	 	2016-1 Indenture









 
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 2.8, 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 that such Notes have not been previously disposed of by the Indenture Trustee.

 SECTION 2.9 Release of Collateral. Subject to Section 11.1, 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, unless the Notes have been redeemed in accordance with Section 10.1, Independent Certificates in accordance
with TIA Sections 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. If the Commission shall issue an exemptive order under TIA
Section 304(d) modifying the Issuer’s obligations under TIA Sections 314(c) and 314(d)(1), subject to Section 11.1 and the terms of the Transaction Documents, the Indenture Trustee shall release property from the lien of this Indenture
in accordance with the conditions and procedures set forth in such exemptive order. 
 SECTION 2.10 Book-Entry Notes. The Notes, upon
original issuance, will be issued in the form of typewritten Notes representing the Book-Entry Notes, to be delivered to the Indenture Trustee, as agent for DTC, the initial Clearing Agency, by, or on behalf of, the Issuer. One fully registered
Book-Entry Note shall be issued with respect to each $500 million in aggregate principal amount of each Class of Notes and any such lesser amount. Such Notes shall initially be registered on the Note Register in the name of Cede & Co., the
nominee of the initial Clearing Agency, and no Note Owner shall receive a Definitive Note representing such Note Owner’s interest in such Note, except as provided in Section 2.12. Unless and until definitive, fully registered Notes (the
“Definitive Notes”) have been issued to the applicable Note Owners pursuant to Section 2.12: 

(a) the provisions of this Section 2.10 shall be in full force and effect; 

(b) 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 Noteholders, and shall have no obligation to the Note Owners; 

(c) to the extent that the provisions of this Section 2.10 conflict with any other provisions of this Indenture,
the provisions of this Section 2.10 shall control; 
 (d) 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 or among such Note Owners and the Clearing Agency and/or the Clearing Agency Participants or Persons acting through Clearing Agency
Participants. Pursuant to the Depository Agreement, unless and until 

  

					
		 	8	 	2016-1 Indenture









 
Definitive Notes are issued pursuant to Section 2.12, the initial 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 
 (e) whenever this Indenture requires
or permits actions to be taken based upon instructions or directions of Noteholders evidencing a specified percentage of the Note Balance, 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 or Persons acting through 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 2.11 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 Note Owners pursuant to Section 2.12, the Indenture Trustee shall give all such notices and communications
specified herein to be given to the Noteholders to the Clearing Agency, and shall have no obligation to the Note Owners. 
 SECTION 2.12
Definitive Notes. If (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 Notes, and the Administrator or the
Indenture Trustee is unable to locate a qualified successor, (b) 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 (c) after the occurrence of an
Event of Default, Note Owners representing beneficial interests aggregating at least a majority of the Note Balance, voting together as a single Class, advise the Indenture Trustee through the Clearing Agency or its successor in writing that the
continuation of a book entry system through the Clearing Agency or its successor is no longer in the best interests of the Note Owners, then the Clearing Agency shall notify all Note Owners and the Indenture Trustee of the occurrence of any such
event and of the availability of Definitive Notes to Note Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Indenture Trustee of the typewritten 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, 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, the Indenture Trustee shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Notes as
Noteholders. 
 The 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. 

SECTION 2.13 Authenticating Agents. 

(a) Upon the request of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee shall, and if the Indenture Trustee so chooses, the Indenture Trustee
may appoint one or more Persons (each, an “Authenticating Agent”) with power to act on its behalf and subject to its direction in the 

  

					
		 	9	 	2016-1 Indenture









 
authentication of Notes in connection with issuance, transfers and exchanges under Sections 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5 and 9.6, as fully to all
intents and purposes as though each such Authenticating Agent had been expressly authorized by those Sections to authenticate such Notes. For all purposes of this Indenture, the authentication of Notes by an Authenticating Agent pursuant to
this Section 2.13 shall be deemed to be the authentication of Notes “by the Indenture Trustee.” The Indenture Trustee shall be the Authenticating Agent in the absence of any appointment thereof. 

(b) Any entity into which any Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any
entity resulting from any merger, consolidation or conversion to which any Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any entity succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of any Authenticating Agent, shall be the
successor of such Authenticating Agent hereunder, without the execution or filing of any further act on the part of the parties hereto or such Authenticating Agent or such successor corporation. 

(c) Any Authenticating Agent may at any time resign by giving written notice of resignation to the Indenture Trustee and
the Issuer. The Indenture Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of any Authenticating Agent by giving written notice of termination to such Authenticating Agent and the Issuer. Upon receiving such notice of resignation or upon such
termination, the Indenture Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent and shall give written notice of any such appointment to the Issuer. 

(d) The provisions of Section 6.4 and, for so long as the Indenture Trustee is the
Authenticating Agent, all other rights, benefits and protections afforded to the Indenture Trustee hereunder, shall be applicable to any Authenticating Agent. 

SECTION 2.14 Tax Treatment. 

(a) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that it is their mutual intent that the Notes constitute and be treated as
indebtedness for U.S. federal and all applicable state and local income and franchise tax purposes (other than any Notes that are owned during any period of time either by the Issuer or by a Person that is considered to be the same Person as the
Issuer for U.S. federal income tax purposes). Further, each party hereto, and each Noteholder by accepting and holding a Note (other than a Noteholder that is the Issuer or a Person that is considered to be the same Person as the Issuer for
U.S. federal income tax purposes), hereby covenants to every other party hereto and to every other Noteholder to treat the Notes as indebtedness for U.S. federal and all applicable state and local income and franchise tax purposes in all tax
filings, reports and returns and otherwise, and further covenants that neither it nor any of its Affiliates will take, or participate in the taking of or permit to be taken, any action that is inconsistent with such tax treatment and tax reporting
of the Notes, unless required by applicable law. All successors and assignees of the parties hereto shall be bound by the provisions hereof. 

(b) The parties hereto agree that it is their mutual intent that, for all applicable purposes the Certificates will not
constitute indebtedness. 
 (c) Prior to the first Payment Date, at any time required by law and/or promptly upon
request, each Noteholder shall provide to the Indenture Trustee, Paying Agent and/or the Issuer (or other person responsible for withholding of taxes) with its Tax Information. Each Noteholder is deemed to understand that by acceptance of a
Note, such Noteholder agrees to supply the foregoing information. Further, each Noteholder is deemed to understand that the Issuer, Indenture Trustee and Paying Agent have the right to withhold interest payable with respect to the Note (without
any corresponding gross-up) on any beneficial owner of an interest in a Note that fails to comply with both of the preceding sentences. If the Issuer has actual knowledge that FATCA Withholding Tax applies with respect to one or more payments
on a Note, the Issuer will notify the Indenture Trustee thereof.

 SECTION 2.15 Certain Transfer Restrictions on the Notes. 

(a) By acquiring an Investment Grade Note (or any interest therein), each purchaser and transferee shall be deemed to represent
and warrant that either (a) it is not acquiring such Investment Grade Note (or any interest therein) on behalf of or with any assets of a Benefit Plan or any governmental plan, non-U.S. plan or church plan or any other employee benefit plan or
arrangement that is subject to Similar Law; or (b) (i) such Investment Grade Note is rated at least “BBB-” or its equivalent by a nationally recognized statistical rating agency at the time of purchase or transfer and (ii) the acquisition,
holding and disposition of such Investment Grade Note (or any interest therein) will not give rise to a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or a violation of any Similar Law. 

(b) Any Notes (or interests therein) beneficially owned by the Issuer or the single beneficial owner of the Issuer for
United States federal income tax purposes after the Closing Date may not be transferred for United States federal income tax purposes to another Person (other than the single beneficial owner of the Issuer for United States federal income tax
purposes) unless the Administrator shall cause an Opinion of Counsel, of nationally recognized tax counsel, to be delivered to the Depositor and the Indenture Trustee to the effect that either (x) such Notes will be treated as debt for United States
federal income tax purposes or (y) the sale of such Notes will not cause the Issuer to be treated as an association or publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes. 

(c) If for tax or other reasons it may be necessary to track any Notes (e.g., if the Notes have original issue discount),
tracking conditions such as requiring that such Notes be in definitive registered form may be required by the Depositor or the Administrator as a condition to such transfer. 

(d) Any purported transfer of a Note not in accordance with this Section 2.15 shall be null and void ab
initio and shall not be given effect for any purpose hereunder. 
 (e) The Indenture Trustee shall have no
obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Investment Grade Note other than to
require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by the terms of, this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to
form with the express requirements hereof.

 SECTION 2.16 Certain Transfer Restrictions on the Non-Investment Grade Notes and Restricted
Notes. 
 (a) None of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee nor any other Person may register the Non-Investment Grade
Notes under the Securities Act or any state securities laws. No Non-Investment Grade Note or any interest therein may be sold or transferred (including by pledge or hypothecation) to any other Person unless such sale or transfer is to a
Qualified Institutional Buyer in accordance with Rule 144A (except for transfers of Non-Investment Grade Notes to the Depositor or any of its Affiliates and by the Depositor or any of its Affiliates as part of the initial distribution or any
redistribution of the Non-Investment Grade Notes by the Depositor or any of its Affiliates pursuant to a note purchase agreement or any similar agreement). Any purported transfer of the Non-Investment Grade Notes or Restricted Notes to a
transferee that does not comply with the requirements of this paragraph shall be null and void ab initio and will not operate to transfer any rights to the transferee, notwithstanding any instructions to the contrary to the Issuer, the
Indenture Trustee or any intermediary. The Issuer may sell, or direct the Indenture Trustee to sell on its behalf, any Non-Investment Grade Notes or Restricted Notes acquired in violation of the foregoing at the cost and risk of the purported
transferee. 
 (b) [Reserved.] 

(c) Prior to any sale or transfer of any Restricted Note (or any interest therein), each prospective transferee of such
Restricted Note (or any interest therein) (except for transfers of Notes to the Depositor or any of its U.S. corporate Affiliates (or disregarded entities thereof)) shall be required to provide to the Indenture Trustee and Depositor a certification
of non-foreign status, in such form as may be requested by the Depositor or the Indenture Trustee (e.g., IRS Form W-9), signed under penalties of perjury (and such other certification, representations or opinion of counsel as may be requested by the
Depositor or the Indenture Trustee), or other information or documentation requested by the Depositor or the Indenture Trustee to determine, in consultation with the Depositor, that payments on such Restricted Notes (or interest therein) will not be
subject to withholding under U.S. tax law. 
 (d) Prior to any sale or transfer of any Non-Investment Grade Note or
Restricted Note (or any interest therein) each prospective transferee of such Non-Investment Grade Note or Restricted Note (or any interest therein) (except for transfers of Notes to the Depositor or any of its U.S. corporate Affiliates (or
disregarded entities thereof)) shall be required to provide to the Indenture Trustee, Note Registrar and Depositor a written representation letter substantially in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto (with such revisions or
modifications as may be determined by the Depositor), unless the Depositor shall have received an opinion of nationally recognized tax counsel to the effect that such transfer without an accompanying representation letter substantially in the form
of Exhibit B will not cause the issuer to be treated as an association or publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes and the Depositor shall consent in writing that no such written representation
letter is required, in which case such prospective transferee shall be deemed to have represented and agreed as follows (provided, however, that with respect to a prospective transferee of a


  

					
		 	12	 	2016-1 Indenture









 
Restricted Note that is not a Non-Investment Grade Note, the only applicable representations are paragraphs (x), (xi), (xii), (xiii), (xiv) and (xv), and with respect to a prospective transferee
of a Non-Investment Grade Note that is not a Restricted Note, the only applicable representations are paragraphs (i) - (x)): 

(i) The transferee (A) is a Qualified Institutional Buyer, (B) is aware that the sale of the Non-Investment Grade Notes
to it is being made in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144A and (C) is acquiring the Non-Investment Grade Notes for its own account or for one or more accounts, each of which is a Qualified Institutional Buyer, and as to
each of which the owner exercises sole investment discretion, and in a principal amount of not less than the minimum denomination of such Non-Investment Grade Note for the purchaser and for each such account. 

(ii) The Non-Investment Grade Notes may not at any time be held by or on behalf of any Person (other than the Depositor
or an Affiliate of the Depositor) that is not a Qualified Institutional Buyer. 
 (iii) The transferee understands that
the Non-Investment Grade Notes are being offered only in a transaction not involving any public offering in the United States within the meaning of the Securities Act, none of the Non-Investment Grade Notes have been or will be registered under the
Securities Act, and, if in the future the transferee decides to offer, resell, pledge or otherwise transfer the Non-Investment Grade Notes, such Non-Investment Grade Notes may only be offered, resold, pledged or otherwise transferred in accordance
with this Indenture and the applicable legend on such Non-Investment Grade Notes set forth below. The transferee acknowledges that no representation is made by the Issuer as to the availability of any exemption under the Securities Act or any
applicable State securities laws for resale of the Non-Investment Grade Notes. 
 (iv) The transferee understands that an
investment in the Non-Investment Grade Notes involves certain risks, including the risk of loss of all or a substantial part of its investment under certain circumstances. The transferee has had access to such financial and other information
concerning the Issuer and the Non-Investment Grade Notes as it deemed necessary or appropriate in order to make an informed investment decision with respect to its purchase of the Non-Investment Grade Notes, including an opportunity to ask questions
of and request information from the Servicer, the Depositor and the Issuer. The transferee has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in the
Non-Investment Grade Notes, and the transferee and any accounts for which it is acting are each able to bear the economic risk of the holder’s or of its investment. 

(v) In connection with the transfer of the Non-Investment Grade Notes (a) none of the Issuer, the Servicer, the
Depositor, any initial purchaser of the Non-Investment Grade Notes, nor the Indenture Trustee is acting as a fiduciary or financial or investment adviser for the transferee, (b) the transferee is not relying (for purposes of making any investment
decision or otherwise) upon any advice, counsel or representations (whether written or oral) of any initial purchaser of the Non-Investment Grade Notes, the Issuer, the Servicer, the Depositor, or the Indenture Trustee other than in the most current


  

					
		 	13	 	2016-1 Indenture









 
offering memorandum for such Non-Investment Grade Notes and any representations expressly set forth in a written agreement with such party, (c) none of any initial purchaser of the Non-Investment
Grade Notes, the Issuer, the Servicer, the Depositor, or the Indenture Trustee has given to the transferee (directly or indirectly through any other person) any assurance, guarantee, or representation whatsoever as to the expected or projected
success, profitability, return, performance, result, effect, consequence, or benefit (including legal, regulatory, tax, financial, accounting, or otherwise) of its purchase or the documentation for the Non-Investment Grade Notes, (d) the transferee
has consulted with its own legal, regulatory, tax, business, investment, financial, and accounting advisers to the extent it has deemed necessary, and it has made its own investment decisions (including decisions regarding the suitability of any
transaction pursuant to this Indenture) based upon its own judgment and upon any advice from such advisers as it has deemed necessary and not upon any view expressed by any initial purchaser of the Non-Investment Grade Notes, the Issuer, the
Servicer, the Depositor, or the Indenture Trustee, (e) the transferee has determined that the rates, prices or amounts and other terms of the purchase and sale of the Non-Investment Grade Notes reflect those in the relevant market for similar

whose attendees have been invited by general solicitations or advertising. 
 (viii) The transferee is not acquiring
the Non-Investment Grade Notes with a view to the resale, distribution or other disposition thereof in violation of the Securities Act. 

(ix) Each Noteholder (and, if the Noteholder is a Plan, its fiduciary) of a Non-Investment Grade Note (or any interest
therein) will be deemed to represent and warrant to the Issuer, the Servicer, any initial purchaser of the Non-Investment Grade Notes and the Indenture Trustee that for so long as it holds such Non-Investment Grade Note (or any interest therein) it
is not acquiring such Non-Investment Grade Note (or any interest therein) on behalf of or with any assets of any Benefit Plan or Plan that is subject to Similar Law. 

(x) The transferee will provide notice to each Person to whom it proposes to transfer any interest in the Non-Investment
Grade Notes or Restricted Notes of the 

  

					
		 	14	 	2016-1 Indenture









 
transfer restrictions and representations set forth in this Indenture, including the Exhibits hereto. Further, the transferee will not transfer any Non-Investment Grade Note or Restricted Note
(or any interest therein) unless, prior to the transfer, the transferee shall have provided to the Indenture Trustee, the Note Registrar and Depositor, and any of their respective successors or assigns, a written representation letter substantially
in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto. 
 (xi) Unless the Depositor has received an opinion of nationally
recognized tax counsel to the effect that the transfer of the Restricted Note without the representation pursuant to this paragraph (xi) will not cause the Issuer to be treated as an association or publicly traded partnership taxable as a
corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes and the Depositor has consented to such transfer in writing, no transfer of Restricted Notes (or any interest therein) will be permitted to the extent that such transfer could cause the number of
direct or indirect holders of an interest in the Restricted Notes to exceed a number equal to 40 Persons. The Depositor shall have the duty and obligation to ascertain the number of direct or indirect holders of an interest in the Restricted Notes,
and neither the Indenture Trustee nor the Note Registrar shall have any duty or obligation with respect to the foregoing. 

(xii) Unless the Depositor has received an opinion of nationally recognized tax counsel to the effect that the transfer of the
Restricted Note without the representation pursuant to this paragraph (xii) will not cause the Issuer to be treated as an association or publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes and the Depositor has
consented to such transfer in writing, the transferee (a) is not, and will not become, a partnership, a corporation taxed under Subchapter S of the Code or grantor trust for U.S. federal income tax purposes (or a disregarded entity the single owner
of which is any of the foregoing) or (b) is such an entity, but (x) no more than 50% of the value of any of the direct or indirect beneficial interests in such transferee (or in the case of a disregarded entity, the interests of its single
owner) is or will be attributable to such transferee’s (or in the case of a disregarded entity, the single owner’s) interest in the Restricted Notes and the Certificates and (y) it is not and will not be a principal purpose of the
arrangement involving such entity’s beneficial interest in any Restricted Notes or Certificates to permit any partnership to satisfy the 100 partner limitation of Treasury Regulation Section 1.7704-1(h)(1)(ii) necessary for such partnership not
to be classified as a publicly traded partnership under the Code. 
 (xiii) No Noteholder of a Restricted Note shall acquire
or transfer any Restricted Note (or any interest therein) or cause any Restricted Note (or any interest therein) to be marketed on or through an “established securities market” within the meaning of Section 7704(b)(1) of the Code,
including, without limitation, an over-the-counter market or an interdealer quotation system that regularly disseminates firm buy or sell quotations. 

(xiv) If any Restricted Note held by the transferee is required to be treated other than as described under
Section 2.14(a), then the transferee, or, if different, the beneficial owner of such Restricted Note, shall agree to the designation of the Depositor as the partnership representative of any partnership in which such Noteholder or
beneficial owner is deemed to be a partner under Section 6223(a) of the Amended Partnership Audit Rules and any applicable Treasury Regulations thereunder. 

  

					
		 	15	 	2016-1 Indenture









 (xv) Prior to December 31, 2017 or such later date that the Amended
Partnership Audit Rules shall apply to the Issuer, (A) each Noteholder of a Restricted Note shall provide to the Administrator on behalf of the Issuer and the Depositor any further information required by the Issuer to comply with the Amended
Partnership Audit Rules, including Section 6226(a) of the Amended Partnership Audit Rules, (B) if such Noteholder is not the beneficial owner of such Restricted Note, the beneficial owner of such Restricted Note shall provide to the Administrator on
behalf of the Issuer and the Depositor any further information required by the Issuer to comply with the Amended Partnership Audit Rules, including Section 6226(a) of the Amended Partnership Audit Rules and, to the extent the Issuer determines such
appointment necessary for it to make an election under Section 6226(a) of the Amended Partnership Audit Rules, hereby appoints the Noteholder as its agent for purposes of receiving any notifications or information pursuant to the notice requirements
under Section 6226(a)(2) of the Amended Partnership Audit Rules and (C) to the extent applicable, each Noteholder of a Restricted Note and, if different, each beneficial owner of a Restricted Note shall hold the Issuer and its affiliates harmless
for any losses (i) resulting from a beneficial owner of a Restricted Note not properly taking into account or paying its allocated adjustment or liability under Section 6226 of the Amended Partnership Audit Rules or (ii) that the Issuer or its
affiliates may suffer due to actions it takes with respect to and to comply with the rules under Sections 6221 through 6241 of the Amended Partnership Audit Rules. 

(xvi) The transferee acknowledges that any transfer in violation of the foregoing will be of no force and effect, will be
void ab initio, and will not operate to transfer any rights to the transferee. 
 (e) Each Non-Investment Grade
Note will bear a legend to the following effect: 
 “THIS NOTE OR ANY INTEREST HEREIN HAS NOT BEEN AND WILL NOT BE REGISTERED UNDER THE
UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”) OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES, AND THE ISSUER HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT OF 1940, AS AMENDED
(THE “INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT”). THIS NOTE OR ANY INTEREST HEREIN MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, EXCEPT (A) (1) TO A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER WITHIN THE MEANING OF RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT (A
“QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER”) WHO IS EITHER PURCHASING FOR ITS OWN ACCOUNT OR FOR THE ACCOUNT OF A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER, IN A PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF NOT LESS THAN $1,475,000 AND IN GREATER WHOLE NUMBER DENOMINATIONS OF $1,000 IN
EXCESS THEREOF (EXCEPT FOR ONE SUCH NOTE WHICH MAY BE IN A DENOMINATION OTHER THAN AN INTEGRAL MULTIPLE OF $1,000), FOR THE

PURCHASER AND FOR EACH SUCH ACCOUNT, IN A TRANSACTION MEETING THE REQUIREMENTS OF RULE 144A SO LONG AS THIS NOTE IS ELIGIBLE FOR RESALE PURSUANT TO RULE 144A, SUBJECT TO THE SATISFACTION OF
CERTAIN CONDITIONS SPECIFIED IN THE INDENTURE, OR (2) TO THE DEPOSITOR OR ANY OF ITS U.S. CORPORATE AFFILIATES (OR DISREGARDED ENTITIES THEREOF) AND (B) IN ACCORDANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES AND ANY
OTHER APPLICABLE JURISDICTION. EACH PURCHASER WILL BE DEEMED TO HAVE MADE CERTAIN REPRESENTATIONS AND AGREEMENTS SET FORTH IN THE INDENTURE. EACH PURCHASER OR TRANSFEREE OF THIS NOTE WILL BE REQUIRED TO PROVIDE TO THE INDENTURE TRUSTEE,
THE NOTE REGISTRAR AND THE DEPOSITOR A LETTER CONTAINING CERTAIN REPRESENTATIONS AND AGREEMENTS AS SET FORTH IN THE INDENTURE. ANY TRANSFER IN VIOLATION OF THE FOREGOING WILL BE OF NO FORCE AND EFFECT, WILL BE VOID AB INITIO, AND WILL NOT
OPERATE TO TRANSFER ANY RIGHTS TO THE TRANSFEREE, NOTWITHSTANDING ANY INSTRUCTIONS TO THE CONTRARY TO THE ISSUER, THE INDENTURE TRUSTEE, OR ANY INTERMEDIARY. IF AT ANY TIME, THE ISSUER DETERMINES OR IS NOTIFIED THAT THE HOLDER OF SUCH NOTE OR
BENEFICIAL INTEREST IN SUCH NOTE WAS IN BREACH, AT THE TIME GIVEN, OF ANY OF THE REPRESENTATIONS SET FORTH IN THE INDENTURE, THE ISSUER AND THE INDENTURE TRUSTEE MAY CONSIDER THE ACQUISITION OF THIS NOTE OR SUCH INTEREST IN SUCH NOTE VOID AND
REQUIRE THAT THIS NOTE OR SUCH INTEREST HEREIN BE TRANSFERRED TO A PERSON DESIGNATED BY THE ISSUER. 
 BY YOUR ACQUISITION OF THIS NOTE OR
ANY INTEREST HEREIN, YOU (AND, IF YOU ARE A PLAN (AS DEFINED BELOW), YOUR FIDUCIARY) SHALL BE DEEMED TO REPRESENT, COVENANT AND AGREE, FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE ISSUER, THE SERVICER, ANY INITIAL PURCHASER OF THIS NOTE AND THE INDENTURE TRUSTEE, THAT
YOU ARE NOT ACQUIRING THIS NOTE (OR INTEREST HEREIN) ON BEHALF OF OR WITH THE ASSETS OF ANY BENEFIT PLAN (AS DEFINED BELOW) THAT IS SUBJECT TO 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”) OR ANY PLAN THAT IS SUBJECT TO A LAW THAT IS SUBSTANTIALLY SIMILAR TO TITLE I OF ERISA OR SECTION 4975 OF THE CODE. FOR PURPOSES OF THE FOREGOING, “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 OR ACCOUNT DEEMED TO HOLD THE PLAN ASSETS OF ANY OF THE
FOREGOING 

  

					
		 	17	 	2016-1 Indenture









 
TRANSFERS OF THIS NOTE MUST GENERALLY BE ACCOMPANIED BY APPROPRIATE TAX TRANSFER DOCUMENTATION AND ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS AS PROVIDED IN THE INDENTURE.” 

(f) [Reserved.] 

(g) Any transfer in violation of Section 2.16(c), (d), (e) or (h) will be of no force and
effect, will be void ab initio, and will not operate to transfer any rights to the transferee, notwithstanding any instructions to the contrary to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, or any intermediary. The Issuer may sell any
Non-Investment Grade Notes or Restricted Notes acquired in violation of Section 2.16(c), (d), (e) or (h) at the cost and risk of the purported owner. If at any time the Issuer determines or is notified that the
Noteholder or Note Owner, as the case may be, was in breach, at the time given, of any of the representations set forth in Section 2.16(c) or (d), the Issuer may consider the acquisition of such Non-Investment Grade Note or Restricted
Note or such beneficial interest in such Non-Investment Grade Note or Restricted Note void and require that such Non-Investment Grade Note or Restricted Note or such beneficial interest therein be transferred to a person designated by the Issuer. If
the transferee fails to transfer such Non-Investment Grade Note or Restricted Note or such beneficial interests in such Non-Investment Grade Note or Restricted Note within thirty (30) days after notice of the voided transfer, then the Issuer shall
cause such Noteholder’s interest or Note Owner’s interest in such Non-Investment Grade Note or Restricted Note to be transferred in a commercially reasonable sale arranged by the Issuer (conducted by the Issuer or an agent of the Issuer in
accordance with Section 9-610(b) of the UCC as applied to securities that are sold on a recognized market or that may decline speedily in value), subject to satisfaction of the requirements set forth in this Section 2.16. 

(h) Unless the Depositor has received an opinion of nationally recognized tax counsel to the effect that the transfer of
Restricted Notes will not cause the Issuer to be treated as an association or publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes regardless of the restriction provided in this subsection (h) and the
Depositor has consented to such transfer in writing, (i) the interests in the Restricted Notes may at no time be held by more than 40 Persons and (ii) no transfer of Restricted Notes (or any interest therein) will be permitted to the extent that
such transfer could cause the number of direct or indirect holders of an interest in the Restricted Notes to exceed a number equal to 40 Persons. The Depositor shall have the duty and obligation to ascertain the number of direct or indirect holders
of an interest in the Restricted Notes and Certificates and neither the Indenture Trustee nor the Note Registrar shall have any duty or obligation with respect to the foregoing. The provisions of Sections 2.16(c) and (h) generally are
intended to prevent the Issuer from being characterized as a “publicly traded partnership” within the meaning of Section 7704 of the Code, in reliance on Treasury Regulations Sections 1.7704-1. 

SECTION 2.17 Transfer Restrictions on Certain Notes Upon a Sale of a Certificate. The restrictions on transfer of Notes retained
by the Issuer or a Person that is considered the same Person as the Issuer for United States federal income tax purposes provided in Section 2.15(b) shall not continue to apply in the event the Indenture Trustee and the Depositor have
received the Initial Certificate Transfer Opinion.

 ARTICLE III 

COVENANTS 
 SECTION 3.1
Payment of Principal and Interest; Determination of LIBOR. 
 (a) The Issuer will duly and punctually pay the
principal of and interest on the Notes in accordance with the terms of the Notes and this Indenture. Without limiting the foregoing and subject to Section 8.2, on each Payment Date the Issuer shall cause to be paid all amounts on deposit
in the Collection Account which represent Available Funds for such Payment Date in accordance with the Sale and Servicing Agreement. Amounts properly withheld under the Code by any Person from a payment to any Noteholder of interest and/or
principal shall be considered to have been paid by the Issuer to such Noteholder for all purposes of this Indenture. Interest accrued on the Notes shall be due and payable on each Payment Date. The final interest payment on each Class of
Notes is due on the earlier of (a) the Payment Date (including any Redemption Date) on which the principal amount of that Class of Notes is reduced to zero or (b) the applicable Final Scheduled Payment Date for that Class of Notes. 

(b) So long as the Class A-2-B Notes are Outstanding, the Indenture Trustee shall obtain LIBOR in accordance with the
definition of “LIBOR” on each LIBOR Determination Date and shall promptly provide such rate to the Administrator or such person as directed by the Administrator. All determinations of LIBOR by the Indenture Trustee, in the absence of
manifest error, will be conclusive and binding on the Noteholders. 
 SECTION 3.2 Maintenance of Office or Agency. As long as
any of the Notes remain Outstanding, the Issuer shall maintain in Minneapolis, Minnesota, an office or agency where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange, and where notices and demands to or upon the Issuer in respect of
the Notes and this Indenture may be served. The Issuer hereby initially appoints the Indenture Trustee to serve as its agent for the foregoing purposes. The Issuer shall 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. 

SECTION 3.3 Money for Payments To Be Held in Trust. As provided in Section 5.4 and 8.2, all payments of amounts due
and payable with respect to any Notes that are to be made from amounts withdrawn from the Trust Accounts shall be made on behalf of the Issuer by the Indenture Trustee or by another Paying Agent, and no amounts so withdrawn therefrom for payments on
the Notes shall be paid over to the Issuer except as provided in this Section and Section 4.4 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. 

By noon, New York City time, on the Business Day prior to each Payment Date and Redemption Date, the Issuer shall deposit or cause to be
deposited into the Collection Account an aggregate sum sufficient to pay the amounts then becoming due under the Notes and to other Persons entitled to payment on each Payment Date, and the Paying Agent shall hold such sum in


  

					
		 	19	 	2016-1 Indenture









 
trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto pursuant to the Transaction Documents 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 shall 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 to the extent relevant), 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 provided in the Transaction Documents; 

(ii) give the Indenture Trustee written notice of any default by the Issuer (or any other obligor upon the Notes) of which
it has actual knowledge in the making of any payment required to be made with respect to the Notes; 
 (iii) at any time
during the continuance of any such default, upon the written request of the Indenture Trustee, forthwith pay to the Indenture Trustee all sums so held in trust by such Paying Agent; 

(iv) immediately resign as a Paying Agent and forthwith pay to the Indenture Trustee all sums held by it in trust for the
payment of Notes if at any time it ceases to meet the standards required to be met by a Paying Agent at the time of its appointment; and 

(v) comply with all requirements of the Code with respect to the withholding from any payments made by it on any Notes of
any applicable withholding taxes imposed thereon, including FATCA Withholding Tax (including obtaining and retaining from Persons entitled to payments with respect to the Notes any Tax Identification Information, making any withholdings as required
under 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. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, for so long as Wells Fargo Bank, National Association is acting as the Indenture Trustee hereunder, it shall
also act as the Paying Agent. 
 The Issuer may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture
or for any other purpose, by Issuer Order direct any Paying Agent to pay to the Indenture Trustee all sums held in trust by such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Indenture Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which such sums were held
by such Paying Agent; and upon such a payment by any Paying Agent to the Indenture Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money. 

  

					
		 	20	 	2016-1 Indenture









 Subject to applicable laws with respect to the 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 distributed by the Indenture
Trustee to the Issuer upon receipt of an Issuer Request and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Issuer for payment thereof and all liability of the Indenture Trustee or such Paying Agent with
respect to such trust money shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, shall at the reasonable expense of the Issuer cause to be
published once, in an Authorized Newspaper, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which date shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then
remaining shall be paid to the Issuer. The Indenture Trustee may also adopt and employ, at the written direction of and at the expense of the Issuer, any other reasonable means of notification of such repayment (including, but not limited to,
mailing notice of such repayment to Holders whose Notes have been called but have not been surrendered for redemption or whose right to or interest in 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 3.4 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
of America, in which case the Issuer shall keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises under the laws of such other jurisdiction) and shall 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 Trust Estate. 

SECTION 3.5 Protection of Collateral. 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 Collateral, 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 Collateral (except to the extent that the interest of the Indenture Trustee therein cannot be perfected by the filing of a financing statement). The Issuer
shall from time to time execute and deliver all such supplements and amendments hereto and shall file or shall authorize the filing of 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 shall take such other action necessary or advisable to: 

(a) Grant more effectively all or any portion of the Collateral; 

(b) maintain or preserve the lien and security interest (and the priority thereof) created by this Indenture or carry out
more effectively the purposes hereof; 
 (c) perfect, publish notice of or protect the validity of any Grant made or to
be made by this Indenture; 

  

					
		 	21	 	2016-1 Indenture









 (d) enforce any of the Collateral; or 

(e) preserve and defend title to the Collateral and the rights of the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders in the
Collateral against the claims of all Persons. 
 The Issuer hereby designates the Indenture Trustee as its agent and attorney-in-fact and
hereby authorizes the Indenture Trustee to file all financing statements, continuation statements or other instruments required to be filed (if any) pursuant to this Section; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee shall not be
obligated to authorize or file such instruments except upon written instruction from the Issuer or the Servicer. Notwithstanding any statement to the contrary contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, the Issuer shall not be
required to notify any insurer with respect to any Insurance Policy about any aspect of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. 

SECTION 3.6 Opinions as to Collateral. 

(a) On the Closing Date, the Issuer shall furnish to or cause to be furnished to the Indenture Trustee an Opinion of
Counsel either stating (i) that, in the opinion of such counsel, such action has been taken with respect to the recording and filing of this Indenture, any indentures supplemental hereto, and any other requisite documents, and with respect to the
filing of any financing statements and continuation statements, as are necessary to perfect and make effective the first priority lien and security interest of this Indenture and reciting the details of such action, or (ii) that, in the opinion of
such counsel, no such action is necessary to make such lien and security interest effective. 
 (b) Within 120 days
after the beginning of each calendar year, beginning with April 30, 2017, the Issuer shall furnish to the Indenture Trustee an Opinion of Counsel either stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, such action has been taken with respect to
the recording, filing, re-recording and refiling of this Indenture, any indentures supplemental hereto and any other requisite documents and with respect to the filing of any financing statements and continuation statements as are necessary to
maintain the lien and security interest created by this Indenture and reciting the details of such action or stating that in the opinion of such counsel no such action is necessary to maintain such lien and security interest. Such Opinion of
Counsel shall also describe the recording, filing, re-recording and refiling of this Indenture, any indentures supplemental hereto and any other requisite documents and the execution and filing of any financing statements and continuation statements
that will, in the opinion of such counsel, be required to maintain the lien and security interest of this Indenture until April 30 in the following calendar year. 

SECTION 3.7 Performance of Obligations; Servicing of Receivables. 

(a) The Issuer shall not take any action and shall use its reasonable efforts not to permit any action to be taken by others,
including the Administrator, that would release any Person from any of such Person’s material covenants or obligations under any instrument or agreement included in the Collateral 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 ordered by any bankruptcy or other court or as expressly provided in this Indenture, the other Transaction Documents
or such other instrument or agreement. 

  

					
		 	22	 	2016-1 Indenture









 (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 Administrator, and the Administrator has agreed, to assist the Issuer in performing its duties under this Indenture. 

(c) The Issuer shall, and shall cause the Administrator and the Servicer to, punctually perform and observe all of its
respective obligations and agreements contained in this Indenture, the other Transaction Documents and the instruments and agreements included in the Collateral, including but not limited to preparing (or causing to be prepared) and 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 Transaction 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 Transaction Document or any provision thereof other than in accordance with the amendment provisions set forth in
such Transaction Document. 
 SECTION 3.8 Negative Covenants. So long as any Notes are Outstanding, the Issuer shall not: 

(a) engage in any activities other than financing, acquiring, owning, pledging and managing the Receivables and the other
Collateral as contemplated by this Indenture and the other Transaction Documents; 
 (b) except as expressly permitted
by this Indenture or in the other Transaction Documents, sell, transfer, exchange or otherwise dispose of any of the properties or assets of the Issuer;

Lien (other than Permitted Liens) to be created on or extend to or otherwise arise upon or burden the assets of the Issuer or any part thereof or any interest therein or the proceeds thereof and (iii) permit the lien of this Indenture not to

perfected security interest in the Financed Vehicle in favor of the applicable Originator, as secured party, 

  

					
		 	23	 	2016-1 Indenture









 
or all necessary actions with respect to the Receivable have been taken or will be taken to perfect a first priority security interest in the Financed Vehicle in favor of the applicable
Originator, as secured party and (B) the Issuer shall not be required to notify any insurer with respect to any Insurance Policy obtained by an Obligor about any aspect of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents); 

(f) incur, assume or guarantee any indebtedness other than indebtedness incurred in accordance with the Transaction
Documents; or 
 (g) merge or consolidate with, or transfer substantially all of its assets to, any other Person.

Officer’s Certificate, that: 
 (i) a review of the activities of the Issuer during such year (or since the Closing
Date, in the case of the first such Officer’s Certificate) and of its performance under this Indenture has been made under such Authorized Officer’s supervision; and 

(ii) to the best of such Authorized Officer’s knowledge, based on such review, the Issuer has complied in all material
respects with all conditions and covenants under this Indenture throughout such year, or, if there has been a default in the compliance of any such condition or covenant, specifying each such default known to such Authorized Officer and the nature
and status thereof.

the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental
body) shall constitute a default under this Indenture (each, an “Event of Default”): 
 (a) a default
in the payment of any interest on any Note of the Controlling Class when the same becomes due and payable, and such default continues for a period of five Business Days or more; 

  

					
		 	27	 	2016-1 Indenture









 (b) a default in the payment of principal of any Note at the related Final
Scheduled Payment Date or the Redemption Date; 
 (c) any failure by the Issuer to duly observe or perform in any
respect any of its covenants or agreements made in this Indenture (other than a covenant or agreement, a default in the observance or performance of which is elsewhere in this Section specifically dealt with), which failure materially and adversely
affects the rights of the Noteholders, and such failure shall continue unremedied for a period of 60 days (or for such longer period not in excess of 90 days as may be reasonably necessary to remedy such failure; provided that such failure is
capable of remedy within 90 days) after there shall have been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Issuer by the Indenture Trustee or by Noteholders evidencing at least 25% of the Note Balance of the Outstanding Notes, voting together as a
single Class, a written notice specifying such failure and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder; 

(d) any representation or warranty of the Issuer made in this Indenture proves to have been incorrect in any respect when
made, which failure materially and adversely affects the rights of the Noteholders, and which failure continues unremedied for 60 days (or for such longer period not in excess of 90 days as may be reasonably necessary to remedy such failure;
provided that such failure is capable of remedy within 90 days) after there shall have been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Issuer by the Indenture Trustee or by Noteholders evidencing at least 25% of the Note Balance of the
Outstanding Notes, voting together as a single Class, a written notice specifying such failure and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder; or 

(e) a Bankruptcy Event with respect to the Issuer; 

provided, however, that (A) if any delay or failure of performance referred to in clause (a) above shall have been caused by force
majeure or other similar occurrence, the five Business Day grace period referred to in such clause (a) shall be extended for an additional 60 calendar days, (B) if any delay or failure of performance referred to in clause (b) above
shall have been caused by force majeure or other similar occurrence, such failure or delay shall not constitute an Event of Default for an additional 60 calendar days, (C) if any delay or failure of performance referred to in clause (c) above
shall have been caused by force majeure or other similar occurrence, the 60 day grace period referred to in such clause (c) shall be extended for an additional 60 calendar days and (D) if any delay or failure of performance referred to in
clause (d) above shall have been caused by force majeure or other similar occurrence, the 60 day grace period referred to in such clause (d) shall be extended for an additional 60 calendar days. 

SECTION 5.2 Acceleration of Maturity; Waiver of Event of Default. 

(a) Except as set forth in the following sentence, if an Event of Default should occur and be continuing, then and in
every such case the Indenture Trustee may, or if directed by the Noteholders representing not less than a majority of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class, shall declare all the Notes to be immediately due and payable, by a notice in writing to
the Issuer (and to the Indenture Trustee if given by Noteholders), and upon any such declaration the unpaid Note Balance of the Notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon 

  

					
		 	28	 	2016-1 Indenture









 
through the date of acceleration, shall become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in Section 5.1(e) occurs, all unpaid principal,
together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, of all Notes, and all other amounts payable hereunder, shall automatically become due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Indenture Trustee or any Noteholder.

 (b) At any time after such declaration of acceleration of maturity has been made and before a judgment or decree for
payment of the money due has been obtained by the Indenture Trustee as hereinafter provided for in this Article V, the Noteholders representing a majority of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class, by written notice to the Issuer and the
Indenture Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if: 
 (i) the Issuer has paid or
deposited with the Indenture Trustee a sum sufficient to pay (A) all payments of principal of and interest on all Notes and all other amounts that would then be due hereunder or upon such Notes if the Event of Default giving rise to such
acceleration had not occurred and (B) all sums paid or advanced by the Indenture Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee and its agents and counsel; and 

(ii) all Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of the principal of the Notes that has become due solely by such
acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 5.12. 
 No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or
impair any right consequent thereto. 
 If the Notes have been declared due and payable or have automatically become due and payable
following an Event of Default, the Indenture Trustee may institute Proceedings to collect amounts due, exercise remedies as a secured party (including foreclosure or sale of the Collateral) or elect to maintain the Collateral. Any sale of the
Collateral by the Indenture Trustee will be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 5.4. 
 SECTION 5.3 Collection of
Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by the Indenture Trustee. 
 (a) The Issuer covenants that if (i) default is
made in the payment of any interest on any Note of the Controlling Class when the same becomes due and payable, and such default continues for a period of five Business Days, or (ii) default is made in the payment of the principal of or any
installment of the principal of any Note when the same becomes due and payable, the Issuer will, upon demand of the Indenture Trustee in writing as directed by the Noteholders representing not less than a majority of the Note Balance of the
Controlling Class, pay to the Indenture Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes, the whole amount then due and payable on such Notes for principal and interest, with interest upon the overdue principal, and, to the extent payment at
such rate of interest shall be legally enforceable, upon overdue installments of interest, at the applicable Interest Rate and in addition thereto such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including
the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee and its agents and counsel. 

  

					
		 	29	 	2016-1 Indenture









 (b) In case the Issuer shall fail forthwith to pay the amounts described in
clause (a) above upon such demand, the Indenture Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a Proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute such Proceeding to judgment or final
decree, and may enforce the same against the Issuer or other obligor upon such Notes and collect in the manner provided by law out of the 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 shall have occurred and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee may, as more
particularly provided in Section 5.4, 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. 
 (d) In case there shall be pending, relative to the Issuer or any other obligor
upon the Notes or any Person having or claiming an ownership interest in the Collateral, Proceedings under the Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, or in case a receiver, assignee or
trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization, liquidator, sequestrator or similar official shall have been appointed for or taken possession of the Issuer or its property or such other obligor or Person, or in case of any other comparable judicial
proceedings relative to the Issuer or 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 5.3, shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such Proceedings
or otherwise: 
 (i) to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole 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, bad faith or willful misconduct) 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; 

  

					
		 	30	 	2016-1 Indenture









 (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 judicial Proceedings relative to the Issuer, its creditors and its property; 
 and any
trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official in any such Proceeding is hereby authorized by each Noteholder 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, indemnities and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Indenture Trustee and each predecessor Indenture Trustee except as a result of negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct, and any other amounts
due the Indenture Trustee under Section 6.7. 
 (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 Holder 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, to the extent set forth in Section 5.4(b). 
 (g) In any Proceedings
brought by the Indenture Trustee (and also 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 5.4 Remedies; Priorities. 

(a) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee may do one or more of the
following (subject to Sections 5.2 and 5.5): 
 (i) institute Proceedings in its own name and 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; 

  

					
		 	31	 	2016-1 Indenture









 (ii) institute Proceedings from time to time for the complete or partial
foreclosure of this Indenture with respect to the Collateral; 
 (iii) exercise any other remedies of a secured party
under the UCC and take any other appropriate action to protect and enforce the rights and remedies of the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders; and 

(iv) subject to Section 5.17, after an acceleration of the maturity of the Notes pursuant to
Section 5.2, sell the Collateral 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 exercise the remedy described in clause (iv) above unless (A) the Holders of all
Outstanding Notes have consented to such liquidation, (B) the proceeds of such sale or liquidation are sufficient to pay in full the principal of and the accrued interest on the Outstanding Notes or (C) the Event of Default either (x) relates to a
default described in Sections 5.1(a) or (b) (a “Payment Default”) and the Indenture Trustee determines (but shall have no obligation to make such determination) that the Collections on the Receivables will not be
sufficient on an ongoing basis to make all payments on the Notes as they would have become due if the Notes had not been declared due and payable or (y) relates to a Bankruptcy Event and, in the case of each of (x) and (y) above, the
Indenture Trustee obtains the consent of the holders of 66-2/3% of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class. In determining such sufficiency or insufficiency with respect to clauses (B) and (C) of the preceding sentence, the
Indenture Trustee may, but need not, obtain and rely upon an opinion of an Independent investment banking or accounting firm of national reputation as to the feasibility of such proposed action and as to the sufficiency of the Trust Estate for such
purpose. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Event of Default does not relate to a Payment Default or Bankruptcy Event with respect to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee may not sell or otherwise liquidate the Trust Estate
unless the Holders of all Outstanding Notes consent to such sale or the proceeds of such sale are sufficient to pay in full the principal of and accrued interest on the Outstanding Notes. 

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8.2 hereof or Section 4.4 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement,
if the Indenture Trustee collects any money or property pursuant to this Article V and the Notes have been accelerated, it shall pay out such money or property (and other amounts, including all amounts held on deposit in the Reserve Account)
held as Collateral for the benefit of the Noteholders (net of liquidation costs associated with the sale of the Trust Estate) in the following order of priority: 

(i) first, to the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee and the Asset Representations Reviewer, any accrued and unpaid
fees (including unpaid Indenture Trustee fees, Owner Trustee fees and Asset Representations Reviewer fees with respect to prior periods) and any reasonable expenses (including indemnification amounts) not previously paid by Santander Consumer (in
the case of Asset Representations Reviewer fees and expenses) or the Servicer (in the case of Indenture Trustee fees and expenses and Owner Trustee fees and expenses), as applicable; 

  

					
		 	32	 	2016-1 Indenture









 (ii) second, to the Servicer, the Servicing Fee and all unpaid Servicing
Fees with respect to prior periods; 
 (iii) third, to the Holders of the Class A Notes, the Accrued Class A Note
Interest; provided that if there are not sufficient funds available to pay the entire amount of the Accrued Class A Note Interest, the amount available shall be applied to the payment of such interest on each Class of Class A Notes on a pro
rata basis based on the amount of interest payable to each Class of Class A Notes;

acceleration of the Notes has occurred following or as a result of an Event of Default described in Section 5.1(a), (b) or (e), in the following order of priority:

(10) to the Holders of the Class E Notes, in respect of principal thereof, until the Class E Notes have been paid in full; and


  

					
		 	33	 	2016-1 Indenture









 (b) if an acceleration of the Notes has occurred following or as a result
of an Event of Default described in Section 5.1(c) or (d), in the following order of priority: 
 (1) to the
Holders of the Class B Notes, the Accrued Class B Note Interest; 
 (2) to the Holders of the Class C Notes, the Accrued
Class C Note Interest; 
 (3) to the Holders of the Class D Notes, the Accrued Class D Note Interest;

in respect of principal thereof, pro rata, based on the Note Balance of each Class of such Class A Notes, until all classes of the Class A Notes have been paid in full;

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. 

Prior to an acceleration of the Notes after an Event of Default, if the Indenture Trustee collects any money or property pursuant to this
Article V, such amounts shall be deposited into the Collection Account and distributed in accordance with Section 4.4 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement and Section 8.2 hereof. 

  

					
		 	34	 	2016-1 Indenture









 SECTION 5.5 Optional Preservation of the Collateral. If the Notes have been declared
or are automatically due and payable under Section 5.2 following an Event of Default and such declaration and its consequences have not been rescinded and annulled, if permitted hereunder, the Indenture Trustee may, but need not, elect to
maintain possession of the Collateral and shall continue to apply the proceeds thereof in accordance with Section 5.4(b). It is the intent of the parties hereto and the Noteholders that there be at all times sufficient funds for the
payment of principal of and interest on the Notes, and the Indenture Trustee shall take such intent into account when determining whether or not to maintain possession of the Collateral. In determining whether to maintain possession of the
Collateral, the Indenture Trustee may, but need not, obtain and rely upon an opinion of an Independent investment banking or accounting firm of national reputation as to the feasibility of such proposed action and as to the sufficiency of the
Collateral for such purpose. 
 SECTION 5.6 Limitation of Suits. 

(a) No Holder of any Note 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
Holder has previously given written notice to the Indenture Trustee of a continuing Event of Default; 
 (ii) the
Holders of not less than 25% of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class have made written request to the Indenture Trustee to institute such proceeding in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as the Indenture Trustee hereunder; 

(iii) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Indenture Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against the
costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in complying with such request; 
 (iv) the Indenture Trustee for 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 Holders of a majority of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class. 
 No Noteholder or group of 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 each case, to the extent and 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 Note Balance of the Controlling Class, the Indenture Trustee in its sole discretion may determine what
action, if any, shall be taken, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture. 
 (b) No Noteholder shall have
any right to vote except as provided pursuant to this Indenture and the Notes, nor any right in any manner to otherwise control the operation and management of the Issuer. However, in connection with any action as to which Noteholders are
entitled to vote or consent under this Indenture and the Notes, the Issuer may set a record date for purposes of determining the identity of Noteholders entitled to vote or consent in accordance with TIA Section 316(c).

 SECTION 5.7 Rights of Noteholders To Receive Principal and Interest. Notwithstanding
any other provisions in this Indenture, the Holder of any Note shall have the right to receive payment of the principal of and interest 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 5.8 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 5.9 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 Holder 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 V 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. Subject to the provisions of Sections 5.4,
5.6, 6.2(d) and 6.2(e), Noteholders holding not less than a majority of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class, 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 with respect to the exercise of any trust or power conferred on the Indenture Trustee; provided that 

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

  

					
		 	36	 	2016-1 Indenture









 (b) any such direction to the Indenture Trustee to sell or liquidate the
Collateral shall be effective only to the extent the Indenture Trustee is permitted to take such action pursuant to Section 5.4(a); 

(c) if the conditions set forth in Section 5.5 have been satisfied and the Indenture Trustee elects to retain the
Trust Estate pursuant to such Section, then any direction to the Indenture Trustee by Holders of Notes representing less than 100% of the Note Balance to sell or liquidate the Trust Estate shall be of no force and effect; 

(d) the Indenture Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Indenture Trustee that is not inconsistent with
such direction, applicable law and the terms of this Indenture; and 
 (e) such direction shall be in writing; 

provided, further, that, subject to Section 6.1, the Indenture Trustee need not take any action that it determines might expose it to
personal liability or might materially adversely affect or unduly prejudice 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 5.2, the Holders of Notes of not less than a majority of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class may waive any past Default or Event of Default and its consequences except a Default (a) in payment of principal of or interest on any
of the Notes, (b) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of each Noteholder or (c) arising from a Bankruptcy Event with respect to the Issuer. In the case of any such waiver, the
Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereto. 

Upon any such waiver, such Default or Event of 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; but no such waiver shall extend to any prior, subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right
consequent thereto. 
 SECTION 5.13 Undertaking for Costs. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Noteholder by such
Noteholder’s acceptance of a Note shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Indenture Trustee for any
action taken, suffered or omitted by it as the Indenture Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable
attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section 5.13 shall not apply to (a) any suit
instituted by the 

  

					
		 	37	 	2016-1 Indenture









 
Indenture Trustee, (b) any suit instituted by any Noteholder, or group of Noteholders, in each case holding in the aggregate more than 10% of the Note Balance of the Outstanding Notes or (c) 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. 
 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 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 5.4(b), if the maturity of the Notes has been
accelerated pursuant to Section 5.2 of this Indenture, or Section 4.4 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement and Section 8.2 of this Indenture, if the maturity of the Notes has not been accelerated. 

SECTION 5.16 Performance and Enforcement of Certain Obligations. 

(a) Promptly following a request from the Indenture Trustee to do so, the Issuer shall take all such lawful action as the
Indenture Trustee may request to compel or secure the performance and observance (i) by the Seller and the Servicer, as applicable, of each of their obligations to the Issuer under or in connection with the Sale and Servicing Agreement or
(ii) by the Seller or Santander Consumer, as applicable, of each of their obligations under or in connection with the Purchase Agreement, in each case, 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 and the Purchase Agreement, as the case may be, 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, the Servicer or Santander Consumer 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 or by the Seller or Santander Consumer, as applicable, of each of their obligations under or in connection with the Purchase 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 Holders of a majority of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class 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 

  

					
		 	38	 	2016-1 Indenture









 
and Servicing Agreement, against the Seller or Santander Consumer under the Purchase Agreement, including the right or power to take any action to compel or secure performance or observance by
the Seller, the Servicer or Santander Consumer 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 or the Purchase Agreement,
as applicable, and any right of the Issuer to take such action shall be suspended. 
 SECTION 5.17 Sale of Collateral. If the
Indenture Trustee acts to sell the Collateral or any part thereof, pursuant to Section 5.4(a), the Indenture Trustee shall publish a notice in an Authorized Newspaper stating that the Indenture Trustee intends to effect such a sale in a
commercially reasonable manner and on commercially reasonable terms, which shall include the solicitation of competitive bids. Following such publication, the Indenture Trustee shall, unless otherwise prohibited by applicable law from any such
action, sell the Collateral or any part thereof, in such manner and on such terms as provided above to the highest bidder, provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee may from time to time postpone any sale by public announcement made at the time
and place of such sale. The Indenture Trustee shall give notice to the Seller and the Servicer of any proposed sale, and the Seller, the Servicer or any Affiliate thereof shall be permitted to bid for the Collateral at any such sale. The
Indenture Trustee may obtain a prior determination from a conservator, receiver or trustee in bankruptcy of the Issuer that the terms and manner of any proposed sale are commercially reasonable. The power to effect any sale of any portion of
the Collateral pursuant to Section 5.4 and this Section 5.17 shall not be exhausted by any one or more sales as to any portion of the Collateral remaining unsold, but shall continue unimpaired until the entire Collateral shall have
been sold or all amounts payable on the Notes shall have been paid.

liability of or affording protection to the Indenture Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 6.1 and to the provisions of the TIA.

information. Information contained in any reports delivered to the Indenture Trustee and any other publicly available information shall not constitute actual or constructive knowledge; provided, however, that,
notwithstanding any provision in the Transaction Documents to the contrary, any document delivered to the Indenture Trustee the information contained in which the Indenture Trustee is required to take notice of to fulfill its obligations under the
Transaction Documents or under applicable law shall constitute actual notice to the Indenture Trustee of such information. 

  

					
		 	41	 	2016-1 Indenture









 (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or otherwise, under no
circumstance will the Indenture Trustee be liable for special, punitive, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever.

discretionary act enumerated in this Indenture or any related document shall not be construed as a duty. 
 (m) Neither
the Indenture Trustee nor any of its officers, directors, employees, attorneys or agents will be responsible or liable for the existence, genuineness, value or protection of any collateral, for the legality, enforceability, effectiveness or

to, an Event of Default) or be required to act upon any event or information (including the sending of any notice), unless a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee has actual knowledge or shall have received written notice thereof. 

SECTION 6.3 Individual Rights of the Indenture Trustee. Subject to Section 310 of the TIA, the Indenture Trustee in its individual
or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Seller, the Owner Trustee, the Administrator and their respective Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not the Indenture Trustee, and
the Seller, the Owner Trustee, the Administrator and their respective Affiliates may maintain normal commercial banking and investment banking relationships with the Indenture Trustee and its Affiliates. Any Paying Agent, Note Registrar,
co-registrar, co-paying agent, co-trustee or separate trustee may do the same with like rights. However, the Indenture Trustee must comply with Section 6.11. 

SECTION 6.4 The Indenture Trustee’s Disclaimer. The Indenture Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no
representation as to the validity, enforceability or adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes, shall not be accountable for the Issuer’s use of the proceeds from the Notes, and shall not be responsible for any statement of the Issuer in the
Indenture or in any document issued in connection with the sale of the Notes or in the Notes, all of which shall be taken as the statements of the Issuer, other than the Indenture Trustee’s certificate of authentication. 

SECTION 6.5 Notice of Defaults. If a Default or an Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if it is either actually known or
written notice of the existence thereof has been delivered to a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee shall mail to each Noteholder, the Issuer, the Owner Trustee and the Administrator notice of the Default or Event of
Default within 90 days after such knowledge or notice occurs. Except in the case of a Default or an Event of 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 6.6 Reports by the Indenture Trustee to Noteholders. The Indenture Trustee, at the expense of the Issuer, shall deliver to
each Noteholder, not later than the latest date permitted by law, such information as may be required by the Code to enable such Holder to prepare its federal and state income tax returns. 

SECTION 6.7 Compensation and Indemnity. The Issuer shall cause the Servicer pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement to agree
to, (i) pay to the Indenture Trustee from time to time such compensation as the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee shall from time to time agree in writing for services rendered by the Indenture Trustee hereunder in accordance with a fee letter
between the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee, (ii) reimburse the Indenture Trustee for 

  

					
		 	43	 	2016-1 Indenture









 
all reasonable expenses, advances and disbursements reasonably incurred by it in connection with the performance of its duties as Indenture Trustee, Relevant Trustee, Certificate Registrar and
Certificate Paying Agent and (iii) indemnify the Indenture Trustee for, and hold it harmless against, any and all fees, costs, loss, liability, expense, tax, penalty or claim (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) incurred by it in
connection with the administration of the trust or trusts hereunder or under any other Transaction Document, the performance of its duties as Indenture Trustee, Relevant Trustee, Certificate Registrar and Certificate Paying Agent or the enforcement
of its rights (including indemnification rights) under the Transaction Documents. The Indenture Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Indenture Trustee shall notify the
Issuer and the Servicer promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Indenture Trustee to so notify the Issuer and the Servicer shall not relieve the Issuer or the Servicer of its obligations hereunder. The Issuer shall, or
shall cause the Servicer to, defend any such claim, and the Indenture Trustee may have separate counsel and the Issuer shall, or shall cause the Servicer to, pay the fees and expenses of such counsel within a reasonable time following receipt by the
Servicer of an invoice therefor. None of the Administrator, the Issuer, the Seller, or the Servicer shall be liable for or required to indemnify the Indenture Trustee from and against any of the foregoing expenses or indemnities arising or resulting
from (i) its own willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence, (ii) the inaccuracy of any representation or warranty contained in Section 6.13 made by the Indenture Trustee or (iii) taxes, fees or other charges on, based on or measured by, any
fees, commissions or compensation received by the Indenture Trustee. 
 The compensation and indemnity obligations to the Indenture Trustee
pursuant to this Section 6.7 shall survive the termination, assignment, and/or discharge of this Indenture and the resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee. When the Indenture Trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence of an
Event of Default set forth in Section 5.1(e) with respect to the Issuer, the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under the Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar
law. 
 Any amounts payable to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section 6.7, to the extent not paid by the Servicer, shall be
paid by the Issuer in accordance with Section 4.4 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement or Section 5.4(b) of this Indenture, as applicable. 

SECTION 6.8 Removal, Resignation and Replacement of the Indenture Trustee. The Indenture Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying
the Issuer, the Administrator and the Servicer. The Holders of a majority of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class may remove the Indenture Trustee without cause by giving 30 days’ prior written notice to the Indenture Trustee and the
Issuer, and following that removal may appoint a successor to the Indenture Trustee. The Issuer shall remove the Indenture Trustee if: 

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

(b) a Bankruptcy Event occurs with respect to the Indenture Trustee; 

(c) a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Indenture Trustee or its property; or 

(d) the Indenture Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting. 

  

					
		 	44	 	2016-1 Indenture









 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, without any further act, deed or conveyance, 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 Noteholders. The retiring Indenture Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as the Indenture Trustee to the
successor Indenture Trustee. 
 If a successor Indenture Trustee does not take office within 30 days after the retiring Indenture Trustee
resigns or is removed, the retiring Indenture Trustee, the Issuer or the Holders of a majority of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class 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. 
 Any resignation or removal of the Indenture
Trustee and appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 6.8 shall not become effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section 6.8
and payment of all fees, indemnities and expenses owed to the outgoing Indenture Trustee. 
 Notwithstanding the resignation or removal of
the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section 6.8, the Issuer’s and Servicer’s obligations under Section 6.7 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Indenture Trustee. 

The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for the acts or omissions of any successor Indenture Trustee. 

SECTION 6.9 Successor Indenture Trustee by Merger. Subject to Section 6.11, if the Indenture Trustee consolidates with,
merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all its corporate trust business or assets to, another corporation or banking association or other entity, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation or other entity without any
further act shall be the successor Indenture Trustee, provided, that such corporation or banking association or other entity shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under Section 6.11. The Indenture Trustee shall provide the
Administrator prior written notice of any such transaction. 
 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.

 SECTION 6.10 Appointment of Co-Indenture Trustee or Separate Indenture Trustee. 

(a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, at any time, after delivering written notice to the
Administrator, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirement of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust Estate may at the time be located, or for an enforcement action or where a conflict of interest exists, 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 Estate, and
to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the Noteholders, such title to the Trust Estate, or any part hereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 6.10, such powers, duties, obligations,
rights and trusts as the Indenture Trustee and the Administrator may consider necessary or desirable. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section
6.11 and no notice to Noteholders of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required under Section 6.8. 

(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 intended 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 Collateral 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 separate trustee or co-trustee hereunder shall be
personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder, including acts or omissions of predecessor or successor trustees;

 (c) Any notice, request or other writing given to the Indenture Trustee
shall be deemed to have been given to each of the 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

SECTION 7.1 The Issuer to Furnish the Indenture Trustee Names and Addresses of Noteholders. The Issuer shall furnish or cause to
be furnished to the Indenture Trustee (a) not more than five days after each Record Date, a list, in such form as the Indenture Trustee may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of the Noteholders as of such Record Date and (b) at such
other times as the Indenture Trustee may request in writing, within 30 days after receipt by the Issuer of any such request, a list of similar form and content as of a date not more than ten days prior to the time such list is furnished;
provided, however, that so long as (i) the Indenture Trustee is the Note Registrar or (ii) the Notes are issued as Book-Entry Notes, no such list shall be required to be furnished to the Indenture Trustee. 

SECTION 7.2 Preservation of Information; Communications to Noteholders. 

(a) The Indenture Trustee shall preserve, in as current a form as is reasonably practicable, the names and addresses of
the Noteholders contained in the most recent list furnished to the Indenture Trustee as provided in Section 7.1 and the names and addresses of Noteholders received by the Indenture Trustee in its capacity as the Note
Registrar. The Indenture Trustee may destroy any list furnished to it as provided in such Section 7.1 upon receipt of a new list so furnished; provided, however, that so long as the Indenture Trustee is
the Note Registrar or the Notes are issued as Book-Entry Notes, no such list shall be required to be preserved or maintained. 

(b) The Noteholders may communicate pursuant to TIA Section 312(b) with other Noteholders with respect to their rights
under this Indenture or under the Notes. Upon receipt by the Indenture Trustee of any request by three or more Noteholders or by one or more Noteholders of Notes evidencing not less than 25% of the Note Balance, voting together as a single
Class, to receive a copy of the current list of Noteholders (whether or not made pursuant to TIA Section 312(b)), the Indenture Trustee shall promptly notify the Administrator thereof by providing to the Administrator a copy of such request and a

		 	48	 	2016-1 Indenture









 
the Indenture Trustee with the Commission and each stock exchange, if any, on which the Notes are listed. The Issuer shall notify the Indenture Trustee if and when the Notes are listed on
any stock exchange. 
 SECTION 7.4 Rule 144A Information. At any time when the Issuer is not subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of
the Exchange Act and is not exempt from reporting pursuant to Rule 12g3-2(b) under the Exchange Act, upon the request of a Noteholder or Note Owner of a Non-Investment Grade Note, the Issuer shall promptly furnish or cause to be furnished Rule 144A
Information to such Noteholder or Note Owner, to a prospective purchaser of such Non-Investment Grade Note designated by such Noteholder or Note Owner or to the Indenture Trustee for delivery (in the manner contemplated by Section 4.6 of the Sale
and Servicing Agreement) to such Noteholder or Note Owner, as the case may be, or a prospective purchaser designated by such Noteholder or Note Owner, in order to permit compliance by such Noteholder or Note Owner with Rule 144A in connection with
the resale of such Non-Investment Grade Note by such Noteholder or Note Owner. 
 SECTION 7.5 Noteholder Demand for Repurchase, Dispute
Resolution. 
 (a) If a Noteholder (if the Notes are represented by Definitive Notes) or a Note Owner (if the Notes are
represented by Book-Entry Notes) becomes aware of a breach of Santander Consumer’s representations and warranties in Section 3.3 of the Purchase Agreement that would require Santander Consumer to repurchase a Receivable pursuant to
Section 3.4 of the Purchase Agreement such Noteholder or Note Owner (the “Requesting Investor”) may, by written notice to the Indenture Trustee, direct the Indenture Trustee to notify Santander Consumer of such breach and
request that Santander Consumer repurchase the related Receivable. Any such written notice to the Indenture Trustee shall identify the Receivable and shall reference this Indenture, as well as the related breach of representation or warranty. If the
Requesting Investor is a Note Owner, then each written notice from such Requesting Investor must be accompanied by Verification Documents. Upon receipt of any written notice of a repurchase request that complies with the requirements of this
Section 7.5, the Indenture Trustee shall forward such written notice to Santander Consumer and request that Santander Consumer repurchase the related Receivable pursuant to Section 3.4 of the Purchase Agreement. For avoidance of
doubt, following delivery of such notice and request to Santander Consumer, the Indenture Trustee shall have no responsibility or liability for the decision by Santander Consumer to repurchase or not to repurchase the related Receivable. 

(b) If a Requesting Investor directs the Indenture Trustee to request the repurchase of a Receivable pursuant to
clause (a) above, and the repurchase request has not been fulfilled or otherwise resolved to the reasonable satisfaction of such Requesting Investor within 180 days of the receipt of notice of the request by Santander Consumer, the
Indenture Trustee shall, at the direction of such Requesting Investor, refer the matter to either mediation or arbitration pursuant to Section 9.24 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement; provided, however, if the Indenture
Trustee declines to refer the matter to mediation or arbitration due to the failure of such Requesting Investor to offer the Indenture Trustee reasonable security or indemnity satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee against the reasonable costs,
expenses, disbursement, advances and liabilities that might be incurred by it, its agents and its counsel in connection with such request, the Requesting Investor may directly refer the matter to either mediation or arbitration pursuant to
Section 9.24 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. 
 (c) A Requesting Investor shall not be required to direct
that an Asset Review be performed prior to submitting a repurchase request with respect to any Receivable or using the dispute resolution provisions pursuant to Section 9.24 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement with respect to such Receivable.
The failure of a Requesting Investor to direct an Asset Review shall not affect whether any Requesting Investor can pursue dispute resolution. In addition, whether any Requesting Investor voted affirmatively, negatively or abstained in the vote to
cause an Asset Review shall not affect whether such Requesting Investor may use the dispute resolution proceedings pursuant to Section 9.24 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. A Requesting Investor may refer to either mediation or
arbitration pursuant to Section 9.24 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement a dispute related to any Receivables, including any Receivables that the Asset Representations Reviewer did not review in connection with an Asset Review, any
Receivables for which the Asset Representations Reviewer found a Test Fail in connection with an Asset Review and any Receivables that the Asset Representations Reviewer reviewed and determined that there were no Test Fails in connection with an
Asset Review.

 SECTION 7.6 Asset Review Voting 

(a) If the Delinquency Percentage on any Payment Date exceeds the Delinquency Trigger, then Noteholders (if the Notes are
represented by Definitive Notes) or Note Owners (if the Notes are represented by Book-Entry Notes) holding at least 5% of the Outstanding Note Balance (the “Instituting Noteholders”) may elect to initiate a vote to determine whether
the Asset Representations Reviewer should conduct an Asset Review by giving written notice to the Indenture Trustee of their desire to institute such a vote within 90 days after the filing of the Form 10-D disclosing that the Delinquency Percentage
exceeds the Delinquency Trigger; provided, however, that the failure of any Noteholder or Note Owner to institute such a vote shall not preclude such Noteholder or Note Owner, as applicable, from pursuing dispute resolution pursuant to
Section 9.24 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. If any Instituting Noteholder is not a Noteholder as reflected on the Note Register, the Indenture Trustee may require such Instituting Noteholder to provide Verification Documents to
confirm that the Instituting Noteholder is, in fact, a Note Owner. If the Instituting Noteholders initiate a vote as described in this clause (a), the Indenture Trustee shall submit the matter to a vote of all Noteholders, which shall be
through the Clearing Agency if the Notes are represented by Book-Entry Notes. The Indenture Trustee may 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). The vote will remain open until the 150th day after the filing of the Form 10-D disclosing that the Delinquency Percentage exceeds the Delinquency Trigger. Abstaining
from, voting in favor of, or voting against causing the Asset Representations Reviewer to conduct an Asset Review shall not preclude any Noteholder from pursuing dispute resolution pursuant to Section 9.24 of the Sale and Servicing
Agreement. The “Noteholder Direction” shall be deemed to have occurred if Noteholders representing at least a majority of the voting Noteholders vote in favor of directing an Asset Review of the Subject Receivables by the Asset
Representations Reviewer. Following the completion of the voting process, the next Form 10-D filed by the Depositor will disclose whether or not a Noteholder Direction has occurred. 

  

					
		 	50	 	2016-1 Indenture









 (b) Within 5 Business Days of the Review Satisfaction Date, the Indenture Trustee
will send a written notice (a “Review Notice”) to Santander Consumer, the Depositor, the Servicer and the Asset Representations Reviewer directing the Asset Representations Reviewer to conduct an Asset Review of the Subject
Receivables. 
 (c) Notwithstanding clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 7.6, a Noteholder
(if the Notes are represented by Definitive Notes) or Note Owner (if the Notes are represented by Book-Entry Notes) need not direct an Asset Review be performed prior to (i)(x) directing the Indenture Trustee to notify Santander Consumer of a breach
of Santander Consumer’s representations and warranties in Section 3.3 of the Purchase Agreement that would require Santander Consumer to repurchase a Receivable pursuant to Section 3.4 of the Purchase Agreement and (y) requesting
that Santander Consumer repurchase the related Receivable pursuant to Section 7.5 hereof or (ii) referring the matter, at its discretion, to either mediation or arbitration pursuant to Section 9.24 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

accordance with the provisions of Section 3.7 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement and (ii) in the Reserve Account shall be distributed in accordance with the provisions of Sections 3.7 and 4.3 of the Sale and Servicing
Agreement. The Indenture Trustee shall not be directed to make any investment of any funds or to sell any investment held in any of the Trust Accounts unless the security interest Granted and perfected in such account will continue to be
perfected in such investment or the proceeds of such sale, in either case without any further action by any Person, and, in connection with any direction to the Indenture Trustee to make any such investment or sale, if requested by the Indenture

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 VIII shall be bound to ascertain the Indenture
Trustee’s authority, inquire into the satisfaction of any conditions precedent or see to the application of any monies. 

(b) The Indenture Trustee shall, at such time as there are no Notes Outstanding and all sums due the Indenture Trustee

Indenture pursuant to this Section 8.4 only upon receipt of an Issuer Request accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel. 

Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by its acceptance of a Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note, acknowledges that

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, that such Opinion of Counsel shall not be required to express an opinion as to the fair value of the 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.

amount of cash or other immediately available funds on deposit in the Reserve Account and the remaining Available Funds after the payments under clauses first through twelfth of Section 4.4(a) of the Sale
and Servicing Agreement would be sufficient to pay in full the aggregate unpaid Note Balance of all of the Outstanding Notes as determined by the Servicer. On such Payment Date, (i) the Indenture Trustee, upon written direction from the
Servicer, shall transfer all amounts on deposit in the Reserve Account to the Collection Account and (ii) the Outstanding Notes shall be redeemed in whole, but not in part.

(iii) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Redemption Date is not applicable and that payments shall be made
only upon presentation and surrender of such Notes, and the place where such Notes are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price (which shall be the office or agency of the Issuer to be maintained as provided in Section 3.2); 

(iv) that interest on the Notes shall cease to accrue on the Redemption Date; and 

(v) the CUSIP numbers (if applicable) for such Notes. 

Notice of redemption of the Notes shall be given by the Indenture Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Issuer. In addition, the

Documents. 
 SECTION 11.2 Form of Documents Delivered to the 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 his or her 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 Administrator or the Issuer, stating that the information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the Servicer, the Seller, the Administrator or the Issuer, 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 

  

					
		 	60	 	2016-1 Indenture









 
the granting of such application, or as evidence of the Issuer’s compliance with any term hereof, it is intended that the truth and accuracy, at the time of the granting of such application
or at the effective date of such certificate or report (as the case may be), of the facts and opinions stated in such document shall in such case be conditions precedent to the right of the Issuer to have such application granted or to the
sufficiency of such certificate or report. The foregoing shall not, however, be construed to affect the Indenture Trustee’s right to rely upon the truth and accuracy of any statement or opinion contained in any such document as provided in
Article VI. 
 SECTION 11.3 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 6.1) conclusive in favor of the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer, if made in the manner provided in this Section 11.3. 

(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
Holder 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 11.4 Notices. All demands, notices and communications hereunder shall be in
writing and shall be delivered or mailed by registered or certified first-class United States mail, postage prepaid, hand delivery, prepaid courier service, or by facsimile or by electronic transmission, and addressed in each case as specified on
Schedule I to the Sale and Servicing Agreement or at such other address as shall be designated by any of the specified addressees in a written notice to the other parties hereto. Delivery shall occur only upon receipt or reported tender
of such communication by an officer of the recipient entitled to receive such notices located at the address of such recipient for notices hereunder. 

SECTION 11.5 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 or via electronic transmission to each Noteholder affected by such event, at his address as it appears on the Note


  

					
		 	61	 	2016-1 Indenture









 
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 the Rating Agencies, 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 an Event of Default. 

SECTION 11.6 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 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, provided that such methods are reasonable and consented to by the Indenture Trustee (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). The Issuer will furnish to the Indenture Trustee a copy of each such agreement and the
Indenture Trustee will cause payments to be made and notices to be given in accordance with such agreements. 
 SECTION 11.7 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 11.8 Information Requests. The parties hereto shall provide any information reasonably requested by the Servicer, the
Issuer, the Seller or any of their Affiliates, in order to comply with or obtain more favorable treatment under any current or future law, rule, regulation, accounting rule or principle.

its successors. 
 SECTION 11.11 Separability. In case any provision in this Indenture or in the Notes shall be invalid, illegal
or unenforceable, the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. 

SECTION 11.12 Benefits of Indenture. Nothing in this Indenture or in the Notes, express or implied, shall give to any Person,
other than the parties hereto and their successors hereunder, the Noteholders, and any other party secured hereunder, and any other Person with an ownership interest in any part of the Trust Estate, any benefit or any legal or equitable right,
remedy or claim under this Indenture. 
 SECTION 11.13 Legal Holidays. In any case where the date on which any payment is due
shall not be a Business Day, then (notwithstanding any other provision of the Notes or this Indenture) payment need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force 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 11.14 GOVERNING LAW;
Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. 
 (a) THIS INDENTURE SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE
LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS OTHER THAN SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW, AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED
IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.

		 	63	 	2016-1 Indenture









 (iv) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of
process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right to sue in any other jurisdiction; and 
 (v) to
the extent permitted by applicable law, each party hereto irrevocably waives all right of trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim based on, or arising out of, under or in connection with this Indenture, any other Transaction
Document, or any matter arising hereunder or thereunder. 
 SECTION 11.15 Counterparts. This Indenture may be executed in any
number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. 

SECTION 11.16 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

SECTION 11.17 Trust Obligation. Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note, or, in the case of a Note Owner of a
beneficial interest in a Note, by accepting the benefits of this Indenture, 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

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. 

SECTION 11.18 No Petition. The Indenture Trustee, by entering into this Indenture, and each Noteholder and Note Owner, by
accepting a Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note, hereby covenants and agrees that prior to the date which is one year and one day after payment in full of all obligations of each Bankruptcy Remote Party in respect
of all securities issued by the Bankruptcy Remote Parties, (i) such party shall not authorize any Bankruptcy Remote Party to commence a voluntary winding-up or other voluntary case or other Proceeding seeking liquidation, reorganization or other

		 	64	 	2016-1 Indenture









 
in effect in any jurisdiction or seeking the appointment of an administrator, a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official with respect to such Bankruptcy Remote Party or
any substantial part of its property or to consent to any such relief or to the appointment of or taking possession by any such official in an involuntary case or other Proceeding commenced against such Bankruptcy Remote Party, or to make a general

such Note or an interest therein) shall be deemed to have agreed to treat the Notes as indebtedness for all federal, state and local income, franchise and value added tax purposes. 

SECTION 11.20 Subordination of Claims. The Issuer’s obligations under this Indenture are obligations solely of the Issuer and will
not constitute a claim against the Seller to the extent that the Issuer does not have funds sufficient to make payment of such obligations. In furtherance of and not in derogation of the foregoing, each of the Owner Trustee (in its individual
capacity and as the Owner Trustee), by accepting the benefits of this agreement, a Certificateholder, by accepting a Certificate (or any portion thereof), and the Indenture Trustee (in its individual capacity and as Indenture Trustee), by entering
into this Indenture, and each Noteholder, and each Note Owner, by accepting the benefits of this Indenture, hereby acknowledges and agrees that such Person has no right, title or interest in or to the Other Assets of the Seller. To the extent that,
notwithstanding the agreements and provisions contained in the preceding sentence, each of the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, each Noteholder or Note Owner and any Certificateholder either (i) asserts an interest or claim to, or benefit from,
Other Assets, or (ii) is deemed to have any such interest, claim to, or benefit in or from Other Assets, whether by operation of law, legal process, pursuant to applicable provisions of insolvency laws or otherwise (including by virtue of Section
1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or any successor provision having similar effect under the Bankruptcy Code), then such Person further acknowledges and agrees that any such interest, claim or benefit in or from Other Assets is and will be expressly
subordinated to the indefeasible payment in full, which, under the terms of the relevant documents relating to the securitization or conveyance of such Other Assets, are entitled to be paid from, entitled to the benefits of, or otherwise secured by
such Other Assets (whether or not any such entitlement or security interest is legally perfected or otherwise entitled to a priority of distributions or application under applicable law, including insolvency laws, and


  

					
		 	65	 	2016-1 Indenture









 
whether or not asserted against the Seller), including the payment of post-petition interest on such other obligations and liabilities. This subordination agreement will be deemed a
subordination agreement within the meaning of Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code. Each of the Indenture Trustee (in its individual capacity and as the Indenture Trustee), by entering into or accepting this agreement, a Certificateholder, by
accepting a Certificate, and the Owner Trustee and each Noteholder or Note Owner, by accepting the benefits of this Indenture, hereby further acknowledges and agrees that no adequate remedy at law exists for a breach of this Section 11.20 and
the terms of this Section 11.20 may be enforced by an action for specific performance. The provisions of this Section 11.20 will be for the third party benefit of those entitled to rely thereon and will survive the termination of
this Indenture.

Trust Agreement, (b) each of the representations, warranties, covenants, undertakings and agreements herein made on the part of the Issuer is made and intended not as personal representations, warranties, covenants undertakings and agreements by
Wilmington Trust, National Association but is made and intended for the purpose of binding only the Issuer, (c) nothing herein contained shall be construed as creating any liability on Wilmington Trust, National Association, individually or
personally, to perform any covenant either expressed or implied contained herein, all such liability, if any, being expressly waived by the parties hereto and by any Person claiming by, through or under the parties hereto and (d) under no
circumstances shall Wilmington Trust, National Association be personally liable for the payment of any indebtedness or expenses of the Issuer or be liable for the breach or failure of any obligation, representation, warranty or covenant made or
undertaken by the Issuer under this Indenture or under the Notes or any of the other Transaction Documents or in any of the certificates, notices or agreements delivered pursuant thereto, as to all of which recourse shall be had solely to the assets
of the Issuer. 
 SECTION 11.22 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 Issuer as it may request in

applicable law, for any unpaid consideration for stock, unpaid capital contribution or failure to pay any installment or call owing to such entity.

forth in the Indenture and (ii) the Transferee has reviewed and does hereby make the representations and warranties discussed or listed in Section 2.16 of the Indenture (which are generally intended to prevent the Issuer from being
characterized as a “publicly traded partnership” within the meaning of Section 7704 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, in reliance on Treasury Regulations Sections 1.7704-1(e) and (h)). 

The Transferee further represents, warrants and agrees for the benefit of the Issuer that statements (i) through (vii) below are all true, and the Transferor
does hereby certify that it reasonably believes that the following statements (i) through (vii) concerning the Transferee are all true:

the applicable representations apply to such person(s); and 
 (viii) The Transferee shall provide a certification of non-foreign status, in
such form as may be requested by the Indenture Trustee or the Depositor (e.g., a properly completed and signed Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form W-9 (or applicable successor form)), signed under penalty of perjury or other
information or documentation requested by the Depositor or the Indenture Trustee to determine, in consultation with the Depositor, that payments on the Notes (or interest thereon) will not be subject to withholding under U.S. tax law.
