 2.04. Management. 
 (a) Bylaws. The management of the Trust shall be governed by the Bylaws of the

 (b) Board of Managers. 
 (i) General. The management of the Trust shall be vested in a Board of Managers (the “Board of Managers”). The total
number of members of the Board of Managers shall initially be five, and hereafter shall be such number as shall be fixed from time to time by a written instrument signed by at least two-thirds of the number of Managers; provided, however, that the
number of Managers shall in no event be less than three nor more than twelve. The following shall be the initial Managers of the Trust until their successors are elected and qualified: 
 Alvin Murstein 
 Andrew M. Murstein 
 Michael J. Kowalsky 
 Jill A. Gordon (Independent Manager) and 
 Timothy P. O’Connor (Independent Manager) 
 (ii) Independent Managers. Two of the
members of the Board of Managers shall be Managers who are not and for the prior five years have not been (1) stockholders (whether direct, indirect or beneficial, other than by mutual fund), directors, officers, members, managers (other
than Independent Managers of the Trust), partners, employees, attorneys, counsel, customers or suppliers of the Owners or any of the Owners’ Affiliates (the Owners and such Affiliates, “Related Owner Group”); (2) persons related
within the second degree of consanguinity (within first cousins and grandparents and grandchildren to any person referred to in clause (1); or (3) trustees, conservators or receivers for any member of the Related Owner Group; and have prior
experience as an 
  

 8 








 independent director for a corporation or other legal entity whose charter documents required the
unanimous consent of all independent directors thereof before such entity could consent to the institution of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings against it or could file a petition seeking relief under any applicable federal or state law relating
to bankruptcy (the “Independent Managers”). 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to each other
only, the Independent Managers may be (1) stockholders (whether direct, indirect or beneficial), directors, officers, members, partners, employees, attorneys, counsel, customers or suppliers of the same legal entity or any of the
foregoing’s Affiliates (the “Related Independent Manager Group”); and (2) persons related to any person referred to in clause (1) of this paragraph. 
 The Owners shall cause the Board of Managers at all times to have at least two Independent Managers who, except as aforesaid, will be
elected by the Owners pursuant to Article IV, Section 3 of the Bylaws. To the fullest extent permitted by the Act, the Independent Managers shall consider only the interests of the Trust, including its respective creditors, in acting or
otherwise voting on the matters involving the Trust. No resignation or removal of an Independent Manager, and no election of a successor Independent Manager, shall be effective until the successor Independent Manager shall have accepted his or her
election by a written instrument. All right, power and authority of the Independent Managers shall be limited to the extent necessary to exercise those rights and perform those duties specifically set forth in the certificate of trust or this
Agreement. No Independent Manager shall at any time serve as trustee or examiner in the bankruptcy case for any Affiliate of the Trust. 
 (iii) Term. Each Manager shall hold office during the continued term of the Trust until she or he dies, resigns, is declared bankrupt or incompetent by a court of appropriate jurisdiction, or is removed, or if sooner,
until the next meeting of Owners called for the purpose of electing Managers and until the election and qualification of her or his successor. In the event that less than the majority of the Managers holding office have been elected by the Owners,
the Managers then in office shall call an Owners’ meeting for the election of Managers. The Managers named in Section 2.04(b)(i) hereof shall be deemed to have been elected by the Owners. Any Manager may resign at any time by written
instrument signed by her or him and delivered to any Officer of the Trust or to the secretary of any meeting of the Managers. Such resignation shall be effective upon receipt unless specified to be effective at some other time. Except to the extent
expressly provided in a written agreement with the Trust, no Manager resigning and no Manager removed shall have any right to any compensation for any period following her or his resignation or removal, or any right to damages on account of such
removal. The Owners may elect Managers at any meeting of Owners called by the Managers for that purpose. Any Manager may be removed at any meeting of Owners by a majority vote of the Owners. Any Manager may be removed with or without cause at any
time by written instrument signed by at least two-thirds of the number of Managers prior to such removal, specifying the date when such removal shall become effective.

 (iv) Powers. Subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, the Owners hereby
grant the Board of Managers and the Officers (as defined herein) the exclusive authority to act on behalf of the Owners and the Trust in implementing the following activities: (1) acquiring, owning, holding, and otherwise engaging in
transactions with respect to the Trust Property (including borrowings secured by Trust Property) with a view toward the maximization of the value of and disposition of such Trust Property; (2) making such representations and warranties on
behalf of the Trust regarding the Trust Property and entering into such agreements on behalf of the Trust as are customary for transactions of the type set forth in clause (1); and (3) performing such activities on behalf of the Trust that are
necessary, suitable or convenient to accomplish the foregoing or are incidental thereto or connected therewith or that may be required in connection with the conservation of the assets and distributions to the Owners; all on such terms and
conditions as the Board of Managers deems desirable, and evidenced by such instruments, agreements, powers of attorney, or other documents as the Board of Managers may approve, as conclusively evidenced by the execution thereof; provided,
however, that the Managers and Officers may not take any action(s) or instruct the Owner Trustee to take any action(s) that would cause the Trust (x) to become subject to registration as a broker or dealer under Section 15(a) of the
Exchange Act, (y) to become subject to compliance with Section 15(c)(3) of the Exchange Act or (z) to become a “taxable mortgage pool” within the meaning of Code Section 7701(i). In connection therewith, the Managers
shall not (1) hold the Trust out as being willing to buy and sell securities on a regular basis; (2) provide market quotes with respect to securities; (3) furnish advice to third parties regarding the purchase, sale or value of

with the Bylaws. Unless otherwise provided by this Agreement or the Bylaws, any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board of Managers or of any committee thereof may be taken without a meeting by unanimous written consent
of the Managers or committee members (or by written consent of a majority of the Managers if the President of the Trust determines that such exceptional circumstances exist, and are of such urgency, as to make unanimous written consent impossible or
impractical, which determination shall be conclusive and binding on all Managers and not otherwise subject to challenge) and the writing or writings are filed with the minutes of proceedings of the Board of Managers or committee. 
 Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or the Bylaws, all powers to control and manage the business and affairs of the Trust shall
be exclusively vested in the Board of Managers and the Board of Managers may exercise all powers of the Trust and do all such lawful acts as are not by statute, the Trust Certificate or this Agreement directed or required to be exercised or done by
the Owners and in so doing, except as provided otherwise in this Agreement, shall have the right and authority to take all actions which the Board of Mangers deems necessary, useful or appropriate for the management and conduct of the business of
the Trust.

 (i) Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement or the Bylaws, the Trust shall indemnify, save harmless, and pay all judgments and claims
against any Manager or Officer relating to any liability or damage incurred by reason of any act performed or omitted to be performed by any Manager or Officer, in their capacity as such, in connection with the business of the Trust, including

from any liability for the fraud, intentional misconduct, gross negligence or a knowing violation of the law which was material to the cause of action. 
 (ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or any other documents governing the formation, management or operation of the Trust to the contrary, any indemnification shall be fully subordinated to any
obligations respecting the Loan and shall not constitute a claim against the Trust in the event that the cash flow of the Trust after payment of all obligations under the Loan is insufficient to pay such obligations. 
 (e) Rights and Powers of the Owner. The Owner shall not have any right or power to take part in the management or control of the Trust or its business
and affairs or to act for or bind the Trust in any way. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Owner has all the rights and powers specifically set forth in this Agreement and, to the extent not inconsistent with this Agreement, in the Act. The Owner

 2.05. Appointment of the Owner Trustee. The Depositor hereby confirms the
appointment under the Original Trust Agreement of the Bank as trustee of the Trust to have all the rights, powers and duties set forth herein and in the Act. The Bank confirms the receipt on the date of the Original Trust Agreement in trust from the
Depositor of $10, constituting the initial Trust Property. 
 2.06. Declaration of Trust. The Owner Trustee hereby declares that it
will continue to hold the Trust Property in trust upon and subject to the conditions set forth herein for the use and benefit of the Owners. To the fullest extent permitted by law, no creditor of the Owner Trustee, in its individual capacity, shall

was registered as an Owner in accordance with Section 4.02 hereof. The Owners shall have rights of contribution from each other with respect to such liabilities and obligations for which the Owners are jointly and severally liable, in
proportion to their respective Ownership Percentages at the time the liabilities or obligations with respect to which contribution is sought arose. Such rights of contribution shall survive termination of this Agreement. 
 2.08. Situs of Trust. It is the intention of the parties hereto that the Trust constitute a statutory trust under the Act and that this Agreement
constitute the governing instrument of the Trust. The Owner Trustee hereby confirms having filed on even date with the entering into of the Original Trust Agreement a certificate of trust relating to the Trust with the Office of the

 ARTICLE III. 
 TAX STATUS OR CAPITAL ACCOUNTS AND ALLOCATIONS 
 3.01. Tax Status. For so long as there is only one Owner (holding 100% of the Trust Certificates representing the entire beneficial interest of
the Trust), then (i) the Trust shall be disregarded as a separate entity pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 301.7701-2I(2), (ii) the Trust shall not have a separate tax identification number, but rather the tax identification
number of the Owner or a parent of the Owner shall be used with respect to its assets or transactions, (iii) all items of gross income, deduction, loss or credit for a Fiscal Year, or applicable portion thereof, shall be allocated to such Owner
and (iv) Sections 3.02 through 3.11, 4.06 and 5.04 hereof shall have no operative effect. 
 However, in the event that there is
more than one Owner, then (i) the Trust shall be treated and taxed as a partnership and the Owners treated as partners in such partnership, for federal, state and local tax purposes (and each Owner and the Owner Trustee will act strictly in
accordance therewith), (ii) the Trust shall apply for a separate tax identification number and (iii) any Net Profit or Net Loss for a Fiscal Year or any applicable portion thereof shall be determined and allocated to the Owners according
to Sections 3.02 through 3.11 hereof. 
 3.02. Capital Accounts. A separate capital account shall be established and maintained for
each Owner (each, a “Capital Account”). The Capital Account of each Owner: (a) shall be credited with (i) the amount of cash and the agreed upon fair market value of any property contributed by such Owner to the Trust (net
of liabilities secured by such contributed property that the Trust is considered to assume or take subject to under Section 752 of the Code), (ii) such Owner’s allocable share of any Net Profits and Gross Income, and (iii) such
Owner’s share of other items required to be credited thereto under Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv); and (b) shall be debited with (i) the amount of cash and the fair market value of any property distributed to such
Owner (net of liabilities secured by such distributed property that such Owner is considered to assume or take subject to Section 752 of the Code) under Section 6.02, (ii) such Owner’s allocable share of any Net Loss, and items
of Gross Deduction, and (iii) such Owner’s share of other items required to be debited thereto under Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv). Any adjustments to the tax basis of Trust Property under Code Sections 732, 734 or
743 will be reflected as adjustments to the Capital Accounts of the Owner only in the manner and to the extent provided in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m). If any property of the Trust is to be distributed in kind, such
property shall be distributed on the basis of its fair market value after the Owners’ Capital Accounts have been adjusted to reflect the manner in which any unrealized gain and loss with respect to such property (that has not been reflected in
the Capital Accounts previously) would be allocated among the Owners if there were a taxable disposition of the property for its fair market value in the manner provided in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(e). 
  

 14 








 In the event of (x) an additional capital contribution by an existing or an additional Owner of more
than a de minimis amount which results in a shift in Ownership Percentages, (y) the distribution by the Trust to an Owner of more than a de minimis amount of property or cash as consideration for an interest in the Trust, or (z) the
liquidation of the Trust within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g), the book basis of the Trust Property shall be adjusted to fair market value and the Capital Accounts of all the Owners shall be adjusted
simultaneously to reflect the aggregate net adjustment to book basis as if the Trust recognized gain and loss equal to the amount of such aggregate net adjustment; provided, however, that adjustments resulting from clauses (x) and
(y) above shall be made only if and to the extent that the Board of Managers so agree and shall have reasonably determined that such adjustments are necessary or appropriate to reflect the relative economic interests of the Owners. 

In the event that Trust Property is subject to Section 704 of the Code or is revalued on the books of the Trust in accordance with the preceding
paragraph pursuant to Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) of the Treasury Regulations, the Owners’ Capital Accounts shall be adjusted in accordance with Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g) of the Treasury Regulations for allocations to the Owners
of depreciation, amortization and gain or loss, as computed for book purposes (and not tax purposes) with respect to such property. 
 These
provisions and other provisions of this Agreement relating to the maintenance of Capital Accounts are intended to comply with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b), and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with such section
of the Treasury Regulations. The Transferee of all or a portion of an Owner’s Ownership Interest in the Trust shall succeed to that portion of the Owner’s Capital Account which is allocable to the portion of the Ownership Interest
Transferred. 
 3.03. Allocation of Net Profits and Net Loss. Subject to Sections 3.04, 3.05, 3.06, 3.07, 3.08, 3.09 and 3.10 hereof,
Net Profits and Net Loss for a Fiscal Year shall be determined and allocated to the Owners as follows: 
 (a) Net Profits. Net Profits
for a Fiscal Year shall be allocated among the Owners in proportion to their respective Ownership Percentages. 
 (b) Net Loss. Net
Loss for a Fiscal Year shall be allocated among the Owners in proportion to their respective Ownership Percentages. 
 3.04. Minimum
Gain. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article III, if during any Fiscal Year of the Trust there is a net decrease in Trust minimum gain (as such term is defined by Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(b)(2) and (d) with
respect to partnership minimum gain), then each Owner shall be allocated Gross Income for such Fiscal Year (and, if necessary, for subsequent Fiscal Years) in the manner provided in Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(f) and (j). Likewise, if
there is a net decrease during any Fiscal Year in the minimum gain attributable to a Partner Nonrecourse Debt (as determined under Treasury Regulations 
  

 15 








 Section 1.704-2(i)(3) with respect to partner nonrecourse debt), then any Owner with a share of the minimum gain
attributable to such debt at the beginning of such Fiscal Year shall be allocated items of Gross Income for such Fiscal Year (and, if necessary, for subsequent Fiscal Years) in the manner provided in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4).
This Section 3.04 is intended to comply with, and shall be interpreted to be consistent with, the minimum gain chargeback requirements of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2. 
 3.05. Partner Nonrecourse Deductions. Gross Deductions which are Partner Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Year of the Trust shall be
allocated to the Owner that bears the economic risk of loss with respect to the loan to which such Partner Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i). 
 3.06. Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse deductions for a Fiscal Year (as defined in Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2I and (j)(ii)) shall be
allocated among the Owners in proportion to their respective Ownership Percentages. 
 3.07. Loss Allocation Limitation.
Notwithstanding any other provision in this Article III, unless otherwise agreed to by such Owner, no Owner shall be allocated Net Losses or Gross Deductions in any taxable year which would cause or increase a Capital Account deficit (determined
with the adjustments set forth in the last sentence of Section 3.09 hereof) for such Owner as of the end of such taxable year and any such Net Losses and Gross Deductions shall instead be specially allocated to the other Owners in proportion to
their respective Ownership Percentages to the extent such allocation does not cause or increase such a deficit for such Owner. All Net Losses and Gross Deductions in excess of the limitation set forth in the preceding sentence shall be allocated to
the Owners in proportion to their Ownership Percentages. If any Net Losses or Gross Deductions are specially allocated pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 3.07, future allocations of Net Profits in the amount of such Net Losses and
Gross Deductions otherwise allocable in accordance with Section 3.03(a) hereof shall be allocated to the Owners to whom such Net Losses and Gross Deductions were specially allocated, as provided in Section 3.10 hereof. 
 3.08. Federal Taxable Income and Loss. 
 (a) Allocation of Taxable Income. Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (b) of this Section 3.08, taxable income, gain, loss or deduction of the Trust (as well as any credits and the basis of property to which such
credits apply) as determined for federal income tax purposes shall be allocated in the same manner as the corresponding income, gain, loss or deduction is allocated for purposes of adjusting Capital Accounts under this Article III. 
 (b) Section 704(c) Allocation. Any item of income, gain, loss and deduction for federal income tax purposes with respect to any Trust
property that has been contributed by an Owner to the capital of the Trust and which is required to be allocated for federal income tax purposes under Section 704(c) of the Code so as to take into account the variation between the adjusted tax
basis of such property and its agreed upon fair market value at the time of its contribution shall be allocated to the Owners solely for federal income tax purposes in the manner so required. In the event of the occurrence of any event described in
clause (x), (y) or (z)
  

 16 








 of the second paragraph of Section 3.02 hereof, subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss and deduction with
respect to such property shall take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Trust for federal income tax purposes and its fair market value immediately after the adjustment in the same manner as under
Section 704(c) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. Any elections or other decisions relating to such allocations shall be made by the Board of Managers in a manner that reasonably reflects the purpose and intention of this
Agreement. Allocations pursuant to this Section 3.08(b) are solely for income tax purposes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, for book purposes, any Owner’s Capital Account pursuant to any provision of
this Agreement. 
 3.09. Qualified Income Offset. In the event that at any time any Owner receives any adjustments, allocations, or
distributions described in Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(5) or (6) that create or increase a deficit balance in its Capital Account, then the next allocation of Gross Income that would otherwise have been allocated to the
other Owners shall be specially allocated to such Owner in an amount and in a manner sufficient to eliminate the deficit balance in such Capital Account created by such adjustments, allocations, or distributions as quickly as possible. Solely for
purposes of this Section 3.09 (and Section 3.07), in determining whether an Owner has a deficit Capital Account at any time, such Owner’s Capital Account shall be (x) increased by that amount that such Owner is treated as being
obligated to restore pursuant to the next to last sentences of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(g)(1) and (i)(5) (determined after taking into account thereunder any changes during such Fiscal Year in any Trust minimum gain and in minimum gain
attributable to any Partner Nonrecourse Debt, as described in Section 3.04 hereof) and (y) decreased by the items described in Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii) (d), (5) and (6). 
 3.10. Curative Allocation. Any special allocations pursuant to Sections 3.07 and 3.09 hereof shall be taken into account in computing subsequent
allocations pursuant to Article III, so that to the extent it is in accordance with the rules of the Treasury Regulations under Section 704(b), the net adjustment to the Capital Account of each Owner from allocations of Net Profits, Net Losses,
Gross Income and Gross Deductions allocated to each Owner pursuant to Article III shall be equal to the net adjustment to such Capital Account from the allocations of Net Profits and Gross Income and Gross Deductions that would have been allocated
to each Owner pursuant to the provisions of Article III if the adjustments, allocations, or distributions and the resulting special allocations pursuant to such Sections had not occurred. 
 3.11. Change of Trust Interest. Subject to Section 706 of the Code and to any applicable Treasury Regulations, Net Profits, Gross Income, Net
Loss, Gross Deductions and items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit for federal income tax purposes for a Fiscal Year that are attributable to any Ownership Interest that is Transferred or assigned during such Fiscal Year shall be allocated
between (i) the portion of the Fiscal Year during which the Ownership Interest in the Trust was held by the Transferor and (ii) the portion of the Fiscal Year during which the Ownership Interest was held by the Transferee on the basis of
an interim closing of the books method or any other method chosen by the Board of Managers and permitted under Section 706 of the Code. 
  

 17 








 ARTICLE IV. 
 TRUST CERTIFICATES AND TRANSFER OF OWNERSHIP INTERESTS 
 4.01. Initial Issuance of Trust
Certificates. The Owner Trustee is hereby authorized and directed to issue and deliver on behalf of the Trust to Medallion Funding, a Trust Certificate registered in the name of “Medallion Funding Corp.” evidencing a 100% Ownership
Percentage. 
 4.02. Registration and Transfer of Trust Certificates. 
 (a) The Owner Trustee shall maintain at its office referred to in Section 2.02 hereof, or at the office of any agent appointed by it and approved in
writing by the Owners at the time of such appointment, a register showing a record of the initial issuance of Trust Certificates, a record of each Transfer of Trust Certificates including the time and date thereof, the names of the Owners of the
Trust Certificates and their respective Ownership Percentages. Prior to due presentment for registration of Transfer of any Trust Certificate, the Owner Trustee may treat the person in whose name any Trust Certificate is registered as the owner of
such Trust Certificate for the purpose of receiving payments on such Trust Certificate pursuant to Sections 6.02 and 6.06 hereof and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not the Owner Trustee shall have notice to the contrary. (For purposes
of this Agreement, due presentment of a Trust Certificate requires presentation of all documents and instruments required by this Agreement as a condition to the registration of the Transfer of the Ownership Percentage evidenced by such Trust
Certificate.) 
 No service charge shall be made to an Owner for any registration of Transfer of a Trust Certificate, but the Owner Trustee
may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of Transfer of a Trust Certificate and any reasonable expenses of the Owner Trustee (including reasonable
fees and expenses of counsel). 
 (b) Subject to the provisions of Section 4.03 hereof, the Owner of any Trust Certificate may Transfer
all or any portion of the Ownership Percentage evidenced by such Trust Certificate upon the surrender of such Trust Certificate to the Owner Trustee or its agent accompanied by the written consent required pursuant to Section 4.03 hereof.
Promptly upon the receipt of such documents, (i) the Owner Trustee shall cancel any Trust Certificate surrendered for Transfer; (ii) if applicable, the Owner Trustee shall issue to the Transferor a new Trust Certificate representing an
Ownership Percentage equal to the Ownership Percentage retained by the Transferor and dated the date of such Transfer; (iii) the Owner Trustee shall issue to each Transferee a new Trust Certificate representing an Ownership Percentage equal to
the Ownership Percentage that was Transferred to such Transferee and dated the date of such Transfer; and (iv) the Owner Trustee shall register the new Trust Certificates in the name of the Transferor (if applicable) and each Transferee and
record their respective Ownership Percentages existing after the Transfer in accordance with Section 4.02(a) hereof. Other than as provided in this paragraph (b), an Owner shall not have the right to surrender its Trust Certificate in exchange
for two or more Trust Certificates evidencing lesser Ownership Interests. 
  

 18 








 (c) Upon Transfer of all of an Owner’s Ownership Interest, the Transferor shall be released from all
of the duties, liabilities and obligations of an Owner under this Agreement arising from and after the time of such Transfer; provided, however, that the Transferor shall remain obligated with respect to all duties, liabilities and
obligations under this Agreement arising during the period commencing on the date such Owner became registered as an Owner in accordance with this Section 4.02 and terminating at the time such Transfer becomes effective in accordance with this
Section 4.02, and the Transferee shall assume in writing all duties, liabilities and obligations of an Owner under this Agreement arising from and after the time of such Transfer (subject to any subsequent Transfers by it in accordance with the
terms and conditions hereof). 
 (d) Upon reasonable notice, each Owner shall have the right to inspect the register of Trust Certificates
during business hours of the Owner Trustee for the purpose, among other things, of communicating with the other Owners. 
 4.03.
Limitations on Transfer of Trust Certificates. 
 (a) An Owner may Transfer all or a portion of its Ownership Interest only upon the
approval of the Board of Managers or pursuant to an agreement approved by the Board of Managers and, in either case, only in conformity with the Loan and Security Agreement as long as any amount remains unpaid under the Loan; provided,
however, that an Owner may Transfer all or a portion of its Ownership Interest to the collateral agent without the consent of the Board of Managers upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default. 
 (b) No Transfer of a Trust Certificate will be made, and the Owner Trustee shall not be obligated to register any Transfer of a Trust Certificate, unless
such Transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and in compliance with each applicable state securities laws or is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and such laws. Each
Owner, by purchasing or otherwise acquiring ownership of a Trust Certificate, is deemed to have acknowledged and agreed that such Transfer complies with the registration provisions or exemptions from the Securities Act, applicable state securities
laws or the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. By its ownership of a Trust Certificate, and unless otherwise provided pursuant to an opinion of counsel to the Trust concluding that adverse consequences under the federal securities laws
would not result, each Owner will be deemed to have represented that it is an institutional Accredited Investor within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act and a Qualified Purchaser within the meaning of
Section 2(a)(51) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Owner Trustee shall not be responsible for ascertaining whether any Transfer complies with this Agreement, the registration provisions or exemptions from the Securities
Act, applicable state securities laws or the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. 
 (c) Each Owner by purchase of a Trust Certificate
is deemed hereby to have acknowledged and agreed that such Owner is not an employee benefit plan (as defined in Section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”)) which is subject to the
provisions of Title I of ERISA, a plan (as defined in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code, other than a governmental or church plan described in Section 4975(g)(2) or (3) of the 
  

 19 








 Code) which is subject to Section 4975 of the Code, a no governmental plan subject to any federal, state or local
law, which is, to a material respect, similar to the foregoing provisions of Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (a “Similar Law”), (each of the foregoing plans a “Plan”) or an entity whose underlying
assets include “plan assets” by reason of a Plan’s investment in the entity. Each prospective purchaser of a Trust Certificate or any interest therein, by purchasing a Trust Certificate or any interest therein, represents that it is
not a Plan or an entity whose underlying assets include “plan assets” by reason of a Plan’s investment in the entity. 
 The
Owner Trustee shall not be required to register any Transfer of a Trust Certificate within ten Business Days preceding any Distribution Date. 
 4.04. Lost, Stolen, Mutilated or Destroyed Trust Certificates. If (i) any mutilated Trust Certificate is surrendered to the Owner Trustee, or (ii) the Owner Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction that any Trust
Certificate has been destroyed, lost or stolen, and upon proof of ownership satisfactory to the Owner Trustee together with such security or indemnity as may be requested by the Owner Trustee to hold it harmless, the Owner Trustee shall execute and
deliver a new Trust Certificate representing the same Ownership Percentage as the Trust Certificate so mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen, bearing a different certificate number, with such notations, if any, as the Owner Trustee shall determine.

 Any duplicate Trust Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 4.04 shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership
of such Trust Certificate, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Trust Certificate shall be found at any time. 
 4.05. Pledge of Rights to Distributions. Subject to Section 4.03 hereof, an Owner may pledge, encumber or hypothecate all or any part of its Trust Certificate and its rights to receive distributions hereunder. Any such pledge,
encumbrance or hypothecation shall not constitute a Transfer of an Ownership Interest in the Trust. Unless the foreclosure of any such pledge, encumbrance or hypothecation meets the requirements of Section 4.03 hereof and is registered in
accordance with Section 4.02 hereof, such foreclosure shall not constitute a Transfer of an Ownership Interest in the Trust and the holder of the related Trust Certificate following such foreclosure shall not be entitled to any rights as an
Owner under this Agreement, other than the right to receive distributions under this Agreement as contemplated by the first sentence of this Section. 
 4.06. Section 754 Election. In the event a Transfer of a Trust Certificate occurs which satisfies the provisions of Section 743 of the Code, the Trust shall, if requested to do so by the Transferee,
and the Board of Managers deem doing so advisable, elect, pursuant to Section 754 of the Code, to adjust the basis of the Trust Property to the extent allowed by such Section 743 and shall cause such adjustments to be made and maintained.
Any additional accounting expenses incurred by the Trust in connection with making or maintaining such basis adjustment shall be reimbursed to the Trust by the Transferee of such Trust Certificate who benefits from the making and maintenance of such
basis adjustment.

 ARTICLE V. 
 ACTIONS OF THE OWNER TRUSTEE SUBJECT TO POWER OF THE OWNERS 
 5.01. Action Upon Instructions.

 (a) Subject to the terms of this Agreement and in accordance with the terms of the Basic Documents, the Board of Managers may by written
instruction direct the Owner Trustee in the discharge of its limited duties specifically set forth herein or in the Act. Notwithstanding any instruction to the contrary by the Owners or the Board of Managers, in no event shall the Owner Trustee take
any action which would have the effect of discharging the security interest created under the Loan and Security Agreement with respect to the Collateral as defined therein, except such action taken in accordance with the Loan and Security Agreement.
Such direction may be exercised at any time by written instruction given by an Officer pursuant to this Article V. 
 (b) The Owner Trustee
shall take such action or actions as may be specified in any written direction delivered in accordance with Section 5.01(a) hereof; provided, however, that the Owner Trustee shall not be required to take any such action if the
Bank or Owner Trustee shall have reasonably determined, or shall have been advised by counsel, that such action (A) is contrary to the terms hereof or of any document contemplated hereby to which the Owner Trustee is a party or is otherwise
contrary to law or (B) is likely to result in liability on the part of the Bank or Owner Trustee, unless the Owners shall have provided to the Bank indemnification or security reasonably satisfactory to the Bank or Owner Trustee against all
costs, expenses and liabilities arising from the Owner Trustee’s taking such action. 
 (c) Subject to Section 7.05, the Trust is
not intended to be a business trust within the meaning of Section 109(9)(A)(v) of the Bankruptcy Code. None of the Owner Trustee, the Board of Managers, the Officers, the Depositor and the Owners shall have the power to (i) institute
proceedings to have the Trust declared or adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, (ii) consent to the institution of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings against the Trust, (iii) file a petition or consent to a petition seeking reorganization
or relief on behalf of the Trust under any applicable federal or state law relating to bankruptcy, (iv) consent to the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator (or any similar official) of the Trust or a
substantial portion of the assets of the Trust, (v) make any assignment for the benefit of the Trust’s creditors, (vi) cause the Trust to admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, or (vii) take
any action, or cause the Trust to take any action, in furtherance of any of the foregoing (each a “Bankruptcy Action”); provided, however, if the foregoing limitation is finally determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction not to be enforceable under the Bankruptcy Code or applicable state law, then the Owner Trustee shall not be authorized to take the actions specified in the preceding clauses (i) through (vii), or any of them, unless the Owner
Trustee receives, at the sole expense of the Owners, (A) the unanimous written consent thereto of the Board of Managers (including the two Independent Managers), who shall be required at such time to certify to the Owner Trustee that the Trust
is then “insolvent” within the meaning of Section 101(32) of the Bankruptcy Code, (B) the written confirmation by independent accountants to the Trust as to the “sum of the Trust’s debts”, (C) the written
confirmation by an outside valuation expert, having reasonable expertise in the valuation of 
  

 21 








 assets, as to the value of “all of the Trust’s property, at a fair valuation” and (D) a written
opinion by outside counsel to the Trust, having reasonable expertise in practice under the Bankruptcy Code, as to the validity of any exclusions from such valuation that are asserted to be applicable pursuant to said Section 101(32) and stating
that the conditions precedent set forth in clauses (A) through (C) above have been satisfied. The Owner Trustee shall be fully protected in relying upon the documents referred to in the preceding clauses (A) through (D) and shall
have no duty to verify or investigate the conclusions stated therein. 
 (d) Action by Owners with Respect to Bankruptcy. Subject to
Section 7.05, the Trust, the Board of Managers and the Owner Trustee shall not have the power to commence a voluntary Bankruptcy Action relating to the Trust unless the conditions specified in Section 5.01(c) are satisfied and the Trust is
“insolvent” within the meaning of Section 101(32) of the Bankruptcy Code and the Owner Trustee, the Board of Managers (including the two Independent Managers) and each Owner unanimously vote in favor of such action. The Owner Trustee,
by entering into this Agreement, hereby covenants and agrees that it will not at any time institute against the Trust, or join in any institution against the Trust of, any Bankruptcy Action until the date that is one year and one day after the later
of the date upon which (i) all obligations of the Trust under the Loan and Security Agreement have been satisfied and (ii) the commitments of the financial institutions parties thereto to make advances to the Trust terminates. 

(e) Restrictions on Owners’ Power. No Owner, Manager or Officer shall direct the Owner Trustee to take or refrain from taking any action
if such action or inaction would be contrary to any obligation of the Trust or the Owner Trustee under this Agreement or any of the Basic Documents or would be contrary to Section 2.03 nor shall the Owner Trustee be obligated to follow any such
direction, if given. 
 (f) In the event that the Owner Trustee is unsure as to the application of any provision of this Agreement that
specifically calls for the Owner Trustee to take any action, or such provision is ambiguous as to its application, or is, or appears to be, in conflict with any other applicable provision, or this Agreement permits any determination by the Owner
Trustee or is silent or is incomplete as to the course of action which the Owner Trustee is required to take with respect to a particular set of facts, the Owner Trustee shall promptly give notice (in such form as shall be appropriate under the
circumstances) to the Board of Managers, requesting instructions as to the course of action to be adopted, and to the extent the Owner Trustee acts in good faith in accordance with written instructions received from the Board of Managers through an
Officer, the Owner Trustee shall not be liable on account of such action to any Person. If the Owner Trustee shall not have received appropriate instructions within fifteen days of such notice (or within such shorter period of time as reasonably may
be specified in such notice) it may, but shall be under no duty to, take or refrain from taking such action, not inconsistent with this Agreement, as it shall deem to be in the best interests of the Owners, and shall have no liability to any Person
for such action or inaction. Upon reasonable request of any Owner, the Owner Trustee shall communicate with the other Owners, if any, concerning any instructions or actions sought by such Owner pursuant to this Section 5.01. 
  

 22 








 (g) The Owner Trustee shall, subject to this Section 5.01 and Section 10.01 hereof, and solely
in connection with the limited duties that are specifically set forth herein as duties of the Owner Trustee, act in accordance with the written instructions given to it by the Board of Managers through an Officer, and to the extent the Owner Trustee
acts in good faith in accordance with such instructions, the Owner Trustee shall not be liable on account of such action to any Person. 
 5.02. Action by Owners with Respect to Certain Matters. In the event that there is more than one Owner and any adverse determination is made by the Service or by any court with respect to the classification of the Trust as a
partnership for federal income tax purposes, the Tax Matters Partner shall, by written notice to the Board of Managers, describe the circumstances and seek instructions as to the course of action to be followed. The Tax Matters Partner shall contest
such adverse determination if so instructed by the Board of Managers and, to the extent the Tax Matters Partner acts in accordance with such instructions, the Tax Matters Partner shall not be liable on account of such action to any Person. If the
Board of Managers instructs the Tax Matters Partner to contest any such adverse determination, the costs thereof shall be borne by all Owners, in proportion to their respective Ownership Percentages. If the Board of Managers decides not to contest
any such adverse determination, but an Owner, acting in its individual capacity, instructs the Tax Matters Partner to contest any such adverse determination, all costs thereof shall be borne by such Owner personally. 
 5.03. Majority Consent. Except where a different percentage or amount is specified herein, any action which requires the consent of, or permits
the direction by, the Owners under this Agreement, must be approved or directed by a majority of the ownership percentage of the Owners. 
 5.04. Tax Matters Partner. The Tax Matters Partner (as defined in Section 6231 of the Code) of the Trust shall be Medallion Funding or such other Person as the Board of Managers shall appoint, and notice of any such appointment
shall be given in writing to the Owner Trustee and the Board of Managers. Each Owner shall give prompt notice to the other Owners upon receipt of advice that the Service intends to examine or audit any income tax returns of the Trust. The Tax
Matters Partner shall promptly notify the Board of Managers of the commencement of any administrative or judicial or similar proceedings involving the tax treatment of items of Trust income, loss, deductions and credits, and shall further keep the
Board of Managers fully informed of all material developments involved in such proceedings. 
 Nothing in this Section 5.04 shall limit
the ability of the Owners to take any action in their individual capacity relating to tax audit matters that are left to the determination of an individual Owner under Sections 6222-6232 of the Code. 
 The Tax Matters Partner, at the expense of the Trust, shall cause to be prepared by a preparer approved by the Board of Managers all Federal, state and
local income tax returns and other returns or statements required of the Trust by applicable law and upon the approval of such returns or statements by the Board of Managers, the Tax Matters Partner shall timely file such returns or statements. The
Tax Matters Partner shall not have any liability for acts of any agent in connection with such returns and statements. The Trust shall, in accordance with applicable 
  

 23 








 federal or state laws or regulations, claim all deductions and make such elections for Federal or state income tax
purposes which the Board of Managers reasonably believes will produce the most favorable tax results for the Owners. In addition, the Tax Matters Partner shall be responsible for the maintenance of Capital Accounts under Section 3.02.

 The Tax Matters Partner shall (i) cause to be prepared and delivered to each Owner such financial statements of the Trust, and other
reports or information, as are necessary to enable each Owner to prepare such Owner’s state and federal income tax returns, (ii) until such time as the Tax Matters Partner has received the written unanimous consent of the Board of Managers
concerning any change in the tax classification of the Trust, file or cause to be filed tax returns as a partnership for federal, state and local income tax purposes, and (iii) cause to be mailed to an Owner copies of any or all of such tax
returns of the Trust when requested to do so by such Owner. 
 The Tax Matters Partner shall not be required to take any action or incur any
expenses for the prosecution of any administrative or judicial remedies in its capacity as Tax Matters Partner unless the Tax Matters Partner is satisfied that the Trust will bear any and all such expenses. As long as the Tax Matters Partner is not
grossly negligent or does not act in bad faith, or if the Tax Matters Partner acts pursuant to instructions of or approved by the Board of Managers, the Trust shall indemnify and hold harmless the Tax Matters Partner from and against any and all
liabilities incurred by the Tax Matters Partner in connection with any activities or undertakings taken by it in its capacity as Tax Matters Partner. Any Owner that enters into a settlement or closing agreement with the Service or state or local tax
authority in respect of any Trust item shall notify the Tax Matters Partner of such agreement and its terms within ten days of the execution of such agreement. 
 With respect to the making of distributions and other tax and accounting matters, the Owner Trustee shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall have no liability for relying upon, the instructions of or information
supplied by the Tax Matters Partner without any obligation to verify the information in such instructions. 
 5.05. Books and Records;
Financial Reports 
 (a) At all times during the existence of the Trust, the Treasurer shall maintain, or cause to be maintained, full and
true books of account, which shall reflect all Trust transactions and be appropriate and adequate for the Trust’s business. Such books of account shall be maintained at the principal place of business of the Treasurer. 
 (b) The Treasurer shall be entitled to full reimbursement for all reasonable costs and expenses, including, but not limited to, out-of-pocket expenses
associated with maintenance of the books of account of the Trust. The amount of costs and expenses to be reimbursed pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be estimated each year by the Treasurer and communicated by the Treasurer to the Board of
Managers prior to the incurrence of such costs and expenses. So long as the Treasurer is not grossly negligent or does not act in bad faith, or if the Treasurer acts pursuant to instructions of the Board of Managers, the Trust shall indemnify and
hold harmless the Treasurer from and against any and all liabilities incurred by the Treasurer in connection with any activities or undertakings taken by it in its capacity as Treasurer. 
  

 24 








 (c) The Treasurer shall deliver to Board of Managers, by the fifteenth day of the month immediately
succeeding the month being reported upon, a balance sheet as of the end of each month and related financial statements for the month then ended, all of which shall be prepared in accordance with such accounting principles as the Treasurer shall
determine are appropriately reflective of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. If the Board of Managers so determines, the balance sheet as of the end of the Fiscal Year and related financial statements for the year then ended, shall be
examined and reported upon, with an opinion expressed by, an independent public accountant engaged by the Trust and approved by the Board of Managers. The Treasurer shall not have any liability for acts of the independent public accountant appointed
in accordance herewith in connection with such examination and report. 
 ARTICLE VI. 
 INVESTMENT AND APPLICATION OF TRUST FUNDS 
 6.01. Investment of Trust Funds.
Unless otherwise directed in writing by the Board of Managers, proceeds of the Trust Property received by the Trust more than one day prior to a Distribution Date may be invested by the Treasurer at the written direction of the Board of Managers in
investments purchased through and held by the Trust as instructed by the Board of Managers, maturing not later than such Distribution Date. In the event that the Treasurer does not receive such direction by the close of business on the day preceding
the day on which such proceeds are received by the Treasurer, the Treasurer may invest such proceeds in Designated Investments purchased through and held by the Trust as instructed by the Board of Managers, maturing not later than the next
succeeding Distribution Date. 
 6.02. Distributions. 
 (a) Any portion of the Trust Property shall, subject to the terms and provisions of the Basic Documents, be distributed by the Treasurer as follows: 
 (i) first, on each Distribution Date to pay reasonable and necessary operating expenses of the Trust, including the payment of any
amounts owing to the Owner Trustee under this Agreement; and 
 (ii) second, in such amounts, from time to time, as
shall be determined by the Board of Managers on each Distribution Date or any other date selected by the Board of Managers, to the Owners based on their respective Ownership Percentages as reflected in the register maintained by the Owner Trustee
pursuant to Section 4.02 hereof as of the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Distribution Date or such other date; provided, however, if the Board of Managers through an Officer has instructed the
Treasurer to retain such funds, then the retained funds shall thereafter be applied according to the further written instructions of the Board of Managers. The Bank shall not be liable for any amounts payable pursuant to this Section 6.02 and,
except as specifically provided in Section 6.05 hereof and the third sentence of Section 10.01 hereof, is not subject to any liability under this Agreement. 
  

 25 








 (b) In the event that any withholding tax is imposed on the Trust’s payment (or allocations of
income) to an Owner, such tax shall reduce the amount otherwise distributable to the Owner in accordance with this Section 6.02. The Treasurer is hereby authorized and directed to retain from amounts otherwise distributable to the Owners
sufficient funds for the payment of any tax that is legally owed by the Trust (but such authorization shall not prevent the Treasurer, at the direction of the Board of Managers, or the Tax Matters Partner from contesting any such tax in appropriate
proceedings, and shall not prevent the Treasurer from withholding payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings). The amount of any withholding tax imposed with respect to an Owner shall be treated as cash
distributed to such Owner at the time it is withheld by the Trust and remitted to the appropriate taxing authority. If there is a possibility that withholding tax is payable with respect to a distribution (such as a distribution to a non-U.S.
Owner), the Treasurer may in its sole discretion withhold such amounts in accordance with this paragraph (b). In the event that an Owner wishes to apply for a refund of any such withholding tax, the Treasurer shall reasonably cooperate with such
Owner in making such claim so long as such Owner agrees to reimburse the Treasurer for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred. In the event that the Treasurer or the Trust is liable for any failure to withhold in respect of a distribution to an Owner,
then such Owner shall indemnify the Treasurer or the Trust for any amount (including penalties and interest) paid by the Treasurer or the Trust in respect of such liability. 
 (c) Any Owner which is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States shall, on or prior to the date such Owner becomes an Owner,
(i) so notify the Treasurer and (ii) either (A) provide the Treasurer with Internal Revenue Service Form 1001, 4224 or W-8, as appropriate, or (B) notify the Treasurer that it is not entitled to an exemption from United States
withholding tax or a reduction in the rate thereof on payments of interest. 
 6.03. Statements. 
 (a) Distribution Date Statements. With each distribution to an Owner pursuant to Section 6.02 hereof, Treasurer shall deliver a statement to
an Officer (a “Distribution Date Statement”) setting forth, for the period since the preceding Distribution Date (or since the execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of the first Distribution Date): 
 (i) the amounts received by the Trust with respect to the Trust Property; 
 (ii) the amount of fees and expenses paid to the Owner Trustee since the preceding Distribution Date; and 
 (iii) the amounts paid to Owners. 
 (b) Officer Reports. An Officer shall deliver copies of all remittance reports to the Owners and, if requested by an Owner, shall provide analysis and consolidation of such reports in such form as such Owner may request. 

 

 26 








 6.04. Method of Payment. All amounts payable to an Owner pursuant to this Agreement shall be paid
by the Treasurer to such Owner, as the Owner elects (and so instructs the Treasurer) from time to time, by check payable to such Owner in next day funds, mailed first class to the address of such Owner appearing on the register maintained pursuant
to Section 4.02(a) hereof, or by credit in immediately available funds to an account maintained by such Owner with the Treasurer or by wire transfer in immediately available funds to a banking institution with bank wire transfer facilities for
the account of such Owner. The Treasurer may require an Owner to pay any wire transfer fees incurred in connection with any wire transfer made to such Owner and may collect such fees by deducting them from the amount so transferred. 
 6.05. No Segregation of Moneys; No Interest. Moneys received by the Treasurer hereunder need not be segregated in any manner except to the extent
required by law or as otherwise provided herein and may be deposited under such general conditions as may be prescribed by law, and neither the Owner Trustee nor the Bank shall be liable for any interest thereon (unless such funds are invested in
interest-bearing investments of the Bank). 
 6.06. Distributions Upon Termination of Trust. Upon the dissolution, winding up and
termination of the Trust (or such other date as established by the Board of Managers), the Trust Property or the cash proceeds therefrom shall be distributed by the Treasurer in the following order of priority: 
 (a) First, to creditors, including the Administrative Agent and Owner Trustee, to the extent otherwise permitted by law, in satisfaction of liabilities
of the Trust (whether by payment or by making of reasonable provision for payment) other than liabilities for distributions to Owners on account of their respective interests in the Trust, and in the setting up of such reserves as the Board of
Managers may reasonably deem necessary or appropriate for any contingent, conditional or unmatured liabilities or obligations of the Trust, and when all such liabilities are satisfied, the balance of such reserves, if any, shall be distributed as
hereinafter provided; 
 (b) Second, to any Owners who are creditors; and 
 (c) Third, to the Owners in accordance with and to the extent of their respective Capital Account balances after taking into account the allocation of
all Net Profits, Net Loss, Gross Income and Gross Deduction pursuant to this Agreement for the Fiscal Year in which the Trust is terminated; provided, however, that if at the time of termination there shall be one Owner, then any
amount remaining after Section 6.06(a) shall be distributed to such Owner. 
 (d) If, after giving effect to the allocations of Net
Profits, Net Loss, Gross Income, Gross Deduction or credit under Article III and all contributions and distributions for all taxable years, any Owner shall have a deficit balance in such Owner’s Capital Account, such Owner shall have no
obligation to restore such deficit balance, or to make any contribution to the capital of the Trust by reason thereof, and such deficit balance shall under no circumstances be considered a liability owed to the Trust. 
  

 27 








 ARTICLE VII. 
 REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF THE DEPOSITOR 
 7.01. Title to Trust Property.

 (a) The Depositor hereby represents and warrants to the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Trust that upon the transfer of the Trust Property
conveyed by such Depositor to the Trust, such Depositor will have conveyed to the Trust good title to such Trust Property, free and clear of any lien, encumbrance or defect created by and relating to the Depositor, except as may be disclosed in the
Loan Sale and Contribution Agreement. 
 (b) Subject to the Loan and Security Agreement and the Custodial Agreement, legal title to all the
Trust Property shall be vested at all times in the Trust as a separate legal entity except where applicable law in any jurisdiction requires title to any part of the Trust Property to be vested in a trustee or trustees, in which case title shall be
deemed to be vested in the Owner Trustee and/or a separate trustee, as the case may be. 
 (c) The Owners shall not have legal title to any
part of the Trust Property. No transfer by operation of law or otherwise of any interest of the Owners shall operate to terminate this Agreement or the trusts hereunder or entitle any transferee to an accounting or to the transfer to it of any part
of the Trust Property. 
 7.02. Binding Effect. The Depositor hereby represents and warrants to the Owner Trustee and the Bank that
(i) the Depositor is a company organized under the laws of the State of New York, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of New York and (ii) this Agreement has been duly and validly authorized, executed and
delivered by, and constitutes a valid and legally binding agreement of, such Depositor and is enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject, as to enforcement, to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization and other laws of general applicability
relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general equity principles. 
 7.03. Trust Certificates. The Depositor hereby
represents and warrants to the Owner Trustee that such Depositor is acquiring its Trust Certificate under this Agreement for its own account as principal and not with a view to the distribution thereof in whole or in part. 
 7.04. Investment Company. The Depositor hereby represents and warrants to the Owner Trustee that the Trust will not be an “investment
company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

the Board of Managers and the Owner Trustee hereby covenants that for so long as any amounts remain outstanding under the Loan and the lien of the Loan and Security Agreement has not been released, it shall not instruct or authorize the Trust to
take any Bankruptcy Action with respect to the Trust. 
  

 28 








 ARTICLE VIII. 
 REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE BANK 
 8.01. Good Standing. The Bank represents and warrants to
the Depositor, for the benefit of the Owners, that the Bank is a national banking association organized under the National Bank Act, as amended (12 U.S.C. § 21 et. seq.), validly existing and in good standing under the laws of all jurisdictions
in which it conducts business and has all powers and all material governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals required under the National Bank Act and the laws of the jurisdictions in which it conducts its business, to carry on its
trust business as now conducted. 
 8.02. Binding Effect. The Bank represents and warrants to the Depositor, for the benefit of the
Owners, that the execution, delivery and performance by the Bank of this Agreement and the issuance of the Trust Certificates by the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Trust pursuant to this Agreement are within the power of the Bank and have been duly
authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Bank (no action by its shareholders being required), and this Agreement constitutes the valid and legally binding agreement of the Bank, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject, as to
enforcement, to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization and other laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general equity principles; and such actions do not and will not (i) violate or contravene any
judgment, injunction, order or decree binding on the Bank, (ii) violate, contravene or constitute a default under any provision of the articles of association or by-laws of the Bank or of any material agreement or instrument binding on the
Bank, or (iii) result in the creation or imposition of any lien attributable to the Bank on the Trust Property except as contemplated by this Agreement.

supervisory or governmental agency or body is required under Delaware law or federal law governing the banking and trust powers of the Bank in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by the Bank, in its individual capacity, of this
Agreement other than the filing of the certificate of trust under the Act, which was previously filed on even date with the entering into of the Original Trust Agreement. 
 ARTICLE IX. 
 AUTHORITY AND DUTIES OF OWNER TRUSTEE 
 9.01. General Authority. 
 (a) The
Owner Trustee is authorized to take all actions required to be taken by it pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The Owner Trustee is further authorized to take such further actions as are permitted but not required under this Agreement as the
Owners or the Board of Managers may direct in writing pursuant to Article V hereof. 
 (b) The Owner Trustee is authorized and directed to
execute and deliver and is authorized to perform on behalf of the Trust such agreements to which the Trust is a party as shall be specified in writing by the Board of Managers through an Officer; provided, however,

transactions contemplated hereby. 
 9.04. No Action Except Under Specified Documents or Instructions. The Owner Trustee shall not
manage, control, use, sell, dispose of or otherwise deal with any part of the Trust Property except (i) in accordance with the powers granted to and the authority conferred upon the Owner Trustee pursuant to this Agreement, and (ii) in

 CONCERNING THE OWNER TRUSTEE

Agreement. The Owner Trustee also agrees to disburse all moneys actually received by it constituting part of the Trust Property upon written direction of the Board of Managers. The Bank shall not be answerable or accountable under any circumstances,
except (i) for its own willful misconduct or gross negligence, (ii) in the case of the inaccuracy of any representation or warranty contained in Article VIII hereof expressly made by the Bank, (iii) for liabilities arising from the
failure by the Bank to perform obligations expressly undertaken by it pursuant to the last sentence of Section 9.03 hereof, or (iv) for taxes, fees or other charges based on or measured by any fees, commissions or compensation received by

 30 








 (a) The Bank shall not be liable for any judgment made in good faith by a responsible officer of the
Owner Trustee;

in accordance with the written instructions of the Owners, the Board of Managers or Officers rendered pursuant to this Agreement; 
 (c) No
provision of this Agreement shall require the Bank to expend or risk funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its or the Owner Trustee’s rights or powers hereunder, if the Bank shall have reasonable grounds
for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured or provided to it; 
 (d) The Bank shall not be responsible for or in respect of the sufficiency of this Agreement or for the due execution hereof by the Depositor or for the form, character, genuineness, sufficiency, value or validity of any Trust Property, and
the Bank shall in no event assume or incur any liability, duty or obligation to the Depositor or to any Owner, other than as expressly provided for herein; and 
 (e) The Bank shall not be liable for any representation, warranty, debt, agreement or other obligation of the Trust. 
 (f) The Owner Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Agreement, or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation under this Agreement or otherwise or in
relation to this Agreement, at the request, order or direction of the Depositor, any Owner, the Board of Managers or any Officer, unless the Owner Trustee has been offered security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against the cost,
expenses and liabilities that may be incurred by the Owner Trustee therein or thereby. The right of the Owner Trustee to perform any discretionary act enumerated in this Agreement shall not be construed as a duty, and the Owner Trustee shall not be
personally liable or accountable for the performance of any such act except as specifically provided in this Article X. 
 (g) The Owner
Trustee shall incur no liability if, by reason of any provision of any present or future law or regulation thereunder, or by any force majeure event, including but not limited to natural disaster, war (declared or undeclared) or other circumstances
beyond its reasonable control, the Owner Trustee shall be prevented or forbidden from doing or performing any act or thing which the terms of this Agreement provide shall or may be done or performed, or by reason of any exercise of, or failure to
exercise, any discretion provided for in this Agreement.

acting upon any signature, instrument, notice, resolution, request, consent, order, certificate, report, opinion, bond or other document or paper reasonably believed by it to be genuine and reasonably believed by it to be signed by the proper party
or parties. The Owner Trustee may accept a certified copy of a resolution of the board of directors or other governing body of any corporate party as conclusive 
  


 31 








 evidence that such resolution has been duly adopted by such body and that the same is in full force and effect. As to any
fact or matter the manner of ascertainment of which is not specifically prescribed herein, the Owner Trustee may for all purposes hereof rely on a certificate, signed by the president or any vice president and by the treasurer or an assistant
treasurer or the secretary or an assistant secretary of the relevant party, as to such fact or matter, and such certificate shall constitute full protection to the Owner Trustee for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in
reliance thereon.

Trustee in the trusts hereunder with like effect as if originally named the Owner Trustee herein; but nevertheless, upon the written request of such successor Owner Trustee, such predecessor Owner Trustee shall execute and deliver an instrument
transferring to such successor Owner Trustee, upon the trusts herein expressed, all the estates, properties, rights, powers, duties and trusts of such predecessor Owner Trustee, and such predecessor Owner Trustee shall duly assign, transfer, deliver

subject to the terms of Section 13.01(c) hereof, be the Owner Trustee under this Agreement without further action.

individuals or corporations either to act as co-trustee, or co-trustees, jointly with the Owner Trustee of all or any part of the Trust Property or to act as separate trustee or separate trustees of all or any part of the Trust Property and to vest
in such Person or Persons, in such capacity, such title to the Trust Property or any part thereof, and such rights, powers, duties, trusts or obligations as the Owner Trustee may consider necessary or desirable, subject to the other provisions of
this Section 13.02.

or imposed upon and exercised or 
  

 35 








 performed by the Owner Trustee, or by the Owner Trustee and such co-trustee or co-trustees, or separate
trustee or separate trustees jointly, except to the extent that, under the law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed, the Owner Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which
event such act or acts shall be performed by such co-trustee or co-trustees or separate trustee or separate trustees; 
 (iii)
Any request in writing by the Owner Trustee to any co-trustee or separate trustee to take or to refrain from taking any action hereunder shall be sufficient warrant for the taking, or the refraining from taking, of such action by such co-trustee or
separate trustee; 
 (iv) Any co-trustee or separate trustee to the extent permitted by law may delegate to the Owner Trustee
the exercise of any right, power, trust, duty or obligation, discretionary or otherwise;

trustee so resigned or removed may be appointed in the manner provided in this Section 13.02; 
 (vi) No trustee
hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder;

request, direction, appointment, removal, notice, consent, waiver or other action in writing executed by the Board of Managers and delivered to the Owner Trustee shall be deemed to have been delivered to each such co-trustee or separate trustee; and

 (viii) Any moneys, papers, securities or other items of personal property received by any such co-trustee or separate
trustee hereunder shall forthwith, so far as may be permitted by law, be turned over to the Owner Trustee to be held pursuant to the terms hereof.

duties, trusts or obligations, jointly or separately with the Owner Trustee, all as shall be specified in the instrument of appointment, subject to all the terms hereof. A copy of every such written acceptance shall be filed with the Owner Trustee.

 (d) In case any co-trustee or separate trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, the estate, right, title and
interest in the Trust Property and all rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations of said co-trustee or separate trustee shall, so far as permitted by law, vest in and be exercised by the Owner Trustee unless and until a successor co-trustee or
separate trustee shall be appointed pursuant to this Section 13.02.

compliance with any provisions of this Agreement may be waived, only by a written instrument signed by the Owner Trustee at the time of such amendment; provided, however, that if any such amendment or waiver would have a material
adverse effect on any Owner, such amendment or waiver will require the consent of any Owner so affected. Furthermore, if in the reasonable opinion of the Owner Trustee any instrument required to be executed adversely affects any right, duty or
liability of, or immunity or indemnity in favor of, the Owner Trustee under this Agreement or any of the documents contemplated hereby to which the Owner Trustee is a party, or would cause or result in any conflict with or breach of any terms,
