 ARTICLE II THE NOTES 

SECTION 2.1 Form. The Class A-1 Notes,
Class A-2 Notes, Class A-3 Notes and Class A-4 Notes, in each case together with the Indenture Trustee’s
certificate of authentication, shall be in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto, with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as are required or permitted by this Indenture and may have such
letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such legends or endorsements placed thereon as may, consistently herewith, be determined by the officers executing the Notes, as evidenced by their execution of the Notes. Any portion of the text
of any Note may be set forth on the reverse thereof, with an appropriate reference thereto on the face of the Note. 
 Each Note shall be
dated the date of its authentication. The terms of the Notes set forth in Exhibit A hereto are part of the terms of this Indenture. 

SECTION 2.2 Execution, Authentication and Delivery. The Notes shall be executed on behalf of the Issuer by any of its Authorized
Officers. The signature of any such Authorized Officer on the Notes may be manual or facsimile. 
 Notes bearing the manual or facsimile
signature of individuals who were at any time Authorized Officers of the Issuer shall bind the Issuer, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Notes or
did not hold such offices at the date of such Notes. 
 The Indenture Trustee shall, upon Issuer Order, authenticate and deliver Class A-1 Notes for original issue in an aggregate principal amount of $307,000,000, Class A-2-A Notes for original issue in
an aggregate principal amount of $420,000,000, Class A-2-B Notes for original issue in an aggregate principal amount of $100,000,000,
Class A-3 Notes for original issue in an aggregate principal amount of $369,000,000, and Class A-4 Notes for original issue in an aggregate principal amount of
$104,000,000. The Note Balance of Class A-1 Notes, Class A-2 Notes, Class A-3 Notes and Class A-4 Notes Outstanding at any time may not exceed such amounts except as provided in Section 2.5. 

Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication. The Notes shall be issuable as registered Notes in the minimum denomination of
$100,000 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). 

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. 

  

					
		 	3	 	2018-1 Indenture









 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. 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 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. 
 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 aggregate outstanding principal amount, 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. 

  

					
		 	4	 	2018-1 Indenture









 All Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes shall be the valid
obligations of the Issuer, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. 

Every Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be (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 a 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 Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 or W-9. 

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 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 due date for any payment with respect to such Note. 

By acquiring a Note (or any interest therein), each purchaser and transferee shall be deemed to represent and warrant that either (a) it
is not acquiring and will not hold such Note (or any interest therein) with the plan assets of a Benefit Plan or any governmental, non-U.S. or church plan or any other employee benefit plan or retirement
arrangement that is subject to a law that is substantially similar to the fiduciary responsibility provisions of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (“Similar Law”); or (b) (i) such Note is rated at least “BBB-” or its equivalent by a Rating Agency at the time of purchase or transfer and (ii) the acquisition, holding and disposition of such Note (or any interest therein) will not give rise to a
nonexempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or a violation of any Similar Law. In addition, each purchaser and transferee of a Note (or any interest therein) that is a Benefit Plan and the
fiduciary purchasing the Note on its behalf (the “Plan Fiduciary”) is deemed to represent and warrant by its acquisition of a Note that the decision to acquire such Note (or interest therein) has been made by the Plan Fiduciary, and
that the Plan Fiduciary is an “independent fiduciary with financial expertise” as described in 29 C.F.R. Sec. 2510.3-21(c)(1). Specifically, this requires the Benefit Plan Investor and the Plan
Fiduciary to represent and warrant that: (a) The Plan Fiduciary is independent of the Transaction Parties, and the Plan Fiduciary either: (i) is a bank as defined in Section 202 of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940
(“Advisers Act”), or similar institution that is regulated and supervised and subject to periodic examination by a U.S. state or U.S. federal agency, (ii) is an insurance carrier which is qualified under the laws of more than
one U.S. state to perform the services of managing, acquiring or disposing of assets of an employee benefit plan described in Section 3(3) of ERISA or any plan described in Section 

  

					
		 	5	 	2018-1 Indenture









 
4975(e)(1)(A) of the Code, (iii) is an investment adviser registered under the Advisers Act, or, if not registered as an investment adviser under the Advisers Act by reason of paragraph
(1) of Section 203A of the Advisers Act, is registered as an investment adviser under the laws of the U.S. state in which it maintains its principal office and place of business, (iv) is a broker-dealer registered under the U.S.
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended or (v) holds, or has under its management or control, total assets of at least U.S. $50 million ((provided that this clause (v) shall not be satisfied if the Plan Fiduciary is an individual
directing his or her own individual retirement account or plan account or relative of such individual)); (b) the Plan Fiduciary is capable of evaluating investment risks independently, both in general and with respect to particular transactions and
investment strategies, including the acquisition by the Benefit Plan of the Notes; (c) the Plan Fiduciary is a “fiduciary” with respect to the Benefit Plan within the meaning of Section 3(21) of ERISA, Section 4975 of the
Code, or both, and is responsible for exercising independent judgment in evaluating the Benefit Plan’s acquisition of the Notes, (d) none of the Transaction Parties has exercised any authority to cause the Benefit Plan to invest in the
Notes or to negotiate the terms of the Benefit Plan’s investment in the Notes; and (e) the Plan Fiduciary has been informed by the Transaction Parties: (i) that none of the Transaction Parties are undertaking to provide impartial
investment advice or to give advice in a fiduciary capacity, and that no such entity has given investment advice or otherwise made a recommendation, in connection with the Benefit Plan’s acquisition of the Notes and (ii) of the existence
and nature of the Transaction Parties’ financial interests in the Benefit Plan’s acquisition of the Notes, as described in the prospectus relating to the offering of the Notes. 

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 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. 

Any Notes beneficially owned by the Issuer or a Person which is considered the same Person as the Issuer for United States federal income tax
purposes may not be transferred to another Person (other than a Person that is considered the same Person as the Issuer for United States federal income tax purposes) unless the Administrator shall cause an Opinion of Counsel to be delivered to the
Depositor and the Indenture Trustee prior to and in connection with such transfer that (x) such Notes will be debt for United States federal income tax purposes or alternatively that (y) the sale of such Notes to a Person unrelated to the
Issuer or Depositor will not cause the Issuer to be treated as an association or publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation. With respect to any transfer for which the Opinion of Counsel provided pursuant to the preceding sentence is as
described in clause (y), unless an Opinion of Counsel also provided that such Notes will be debt for United States federal income tax purposes, (i) the sale or transfer of such Notes must be to a Person who is a U.S. Tax Person, (ii) the
transferee of such Notes 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) and (iii) by
acquiring such Note, the transferee shall be deemed to represent and warrant that it is a Person who is a U.S. Tax Person. In addition, if for tax or other reasons it may be necessary to track such 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 Administrator as a condition to such transfer.

 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. 
  

  

					
		 	7	 	2018-1 Indenture









 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 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 Note shall accrue
interest at its respective Interest Rate, and such interest shall be payable on each Payment Date as specified therein, subject to Sections 3.1 and 8.2. Any installment of interest or principal, if any, 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 be continuing,
if the Indenture Trustee or the Holders of a majority of the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Outstanding Notes, 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. 

  

					
		 	8	 	2018-1 Indenture









 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 delivered to the Indenture Trustee and shall be promptly cancelled by the Indenture Trustee. The Issuer may at any time deliver to the Indenture Trustee
for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Issuer may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Notes so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Indenture Trustee. No Notes shall be authenticated
in lieu of or in exchange for any Notes cancelled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All cancelled Notes may be held or disposed of by the Indenture Trustee in accordance with its standard retention or
disposal policy as in effect at the time unless the Issuer shall direct by an Issuer Order that they be destroyed or returned to it; provided, that such Issuer Order is timely and 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 Note shall be issued with respect to each $500 million in 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 Note Owners
pursuant to Section 2.12: 
 (a) the provisions of this Section 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 of the Notes, and shall have no obligation to the Note Owners; 

(c) to the extent that the provisions of this Section conflict with any other provisions of this Indenture, the provisions of this Section
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 Note Depository Agreement, unless and until 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 

  

					
		 	9	 	2018-1 Indenture









 (e) whenever this Indenture requires or permits actions to be taken based upon instructions or
directions of Noteholders evidencing a specified percentage of the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Outstanding Notes, 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 aggregate
outstanding principal balance of the Outstanding Notes, 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, the Note Registrar or the Indenture Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in
relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Notes, 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. 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 2.12, with respect to any Notes retained by the
Issuer or a Person which is considered the same Person as the Issuer for United States federal income tax purposes, as contemplated by the final paragraph of Section 2.4, any Note required by the Administrator to be in
definitive registered form shall be issued as a Definitive Note to the applicable Note Owner prior to transfer thereof. 

  

					
		 	10	 	2018-1 Indenture









 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 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 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
corporation into which any Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, consolidation or conversion to which any Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any
corporation 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 shall be applicable to any Authenticating Agent. 

SECTION 2.14 Tax Treatment. The Issuer has entered into this Indenture, and the Notes shall be issued, with the intention that, solely
for federal, state and local income, franchise and/or value added tax purposes, the Notes shall qualify as indebtedness secured by the Collateral (other than any Notes that are owned during any period of time either by the Issuer or by a Person that
is considered the same Person as the Issuer for United States federal income tax purposes). The Issuer, by entering into this Indenture, and each Noteholder, by its acceptance of a Note, agree to treat the Notes for federal, state and local income,
franchise and/or value added tax purposes as indebtedness (other than any Notes that are owned during any period of time either by the Issuer or by a Person that is considered the same Person as the Issuer for United States federal income tax
purposes). 
 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, 

  

					
		 	11	 	2018-1 Indenture









 
Advances made on such Payment Date pursuant to Section 4.3(c) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement and the Reserve Account Draw Amount for such Payment Date. 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 the Borough
of Manhattan, the City of New York, 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. (a) As provided in Sections 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. 
 (b) On or 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 the Paying Agent shall hold such sum to be held in 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. 

(c) 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 shall: 

  

					
		 	12	 	2018-1 Indenture









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

(v) comply with all requirements of the Code with respect to the withholding from any payments made by it on any Notes of any
applicable withholding taxes imposed thereon, including FATCA Withholding Tax (including retaining any Tax Information received from Persons entitled to payments with respect to the Notes and making any withholdings with respect to the Notes as
required by the Code (including FATCA) based on such Tax Information received, and paying over such withheld amounts to the appropriate governmental authority); and; 

(vi) comply with respect to 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 to the Issuer (A) Tax Information with respect to the Paying Agent and (B) to the extent received, Tax Information with respect to the Noteholders. 

(d) 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. 

(e) 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 payment, 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 

  

					
		 	13	 	2018-1 Indenture









 
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

 ARTICLE V EVENTS OF DEFAULT; REMEDIES 

SECTION 5.1 Events of Default. The occurrence and continuation of any one of the following events (whatever the reason for such Event
of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body) shall constitute a
default under this Indenture (each, an “Event of Default”): 
 (a) default in the payment of any interest on
any Note when the same becomes due and payable, and such default shall continue for a period of five Business Days; 
 (b)
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 material respect any of its material 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 interests of the Noteholders, and such failure shall continue unremedied for a period of 90 days after there shall have been


  

					
		 	20	 	2018-1 Indenture









 
given, by registered or certified mail, to the Issuer by the Indenture Trustee or by Noteholders evidencing at least a majority of the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Outstanding
Notes, 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 material respect
when made, which failure materially and adversely affects the interests of the Noteholders, and which failure continues unremedied for 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 a majority of the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Outstanding Notes, 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 delay in or failure of performance referred to under clauses (a), (b), (c) or (d) above for
a period of 120 days will not constitute an Event of Default if that delay or failure was caused by force majeure or other similar occurrence. 

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 aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Outstanding Notes, 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 principal amount of such Notes, together with accrued and
unpaid interest thereon 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 aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Outstanding Notes, 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 

  

					
		 	21	 	2018-1 Indenture









 (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 and apply the proceeds from the Collateral pursuant to
Section 5.4(b). 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 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 Noteholders representing a majority of the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the
Outstanding Notes, 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. 
 (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


  

					
		 	22	 	2018-1 Indenture









 
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, 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 gross 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 Holders of Notes in any election of a
trustee, a standby trustee or Person performing similar functions in any such Proceedings; 
 (iii) to collect and receive
any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute all amounts received with respect to the claims of the Noteholders and of the Indenture Trustee on their behalf; and 

(iv) to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of
the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders allowed in any 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 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. 

  

					
		 	23	 	2018-1 Indenture









 (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 Holders of the Notes. 
 (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 be 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; 

(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 sell or
otherwise liquidate the Collateral following an Event of Default unless (A) the holders of 100% of the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Outstanding Notes have consented to such sale or 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 default relates to the failure to pay interest or principal when due (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; and, in the case of (C) above, the Indenture Trustee obtains the consent of the holders of 66-2/3% of the aggregate outstanding


  

					
		 	24	 	2018-1 Indenture









 
principal balance of the Outstanding Notes. 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 of this Indenture 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, pro rata, to the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee, any accrued and unpaid fees and reasonable expenses
(including indemnification amounts) permitted under the Trust Agreement and this Indenture, as applicable, which have not been previously paid; 

(ii) second, to the Asset Representations Reviewer, any accrued and unpaid fees and reasonable expenses (including

(iii) third, to the Servicer (or any predecessor Servicer, if applicable), for reimbursement of all outstanding
Advances; 
 (iv) fourth, to the Servicer, the Servicing Fee and all unpaid Servicing Fees with respect to prior
periods; 
 (v) fifth, to the Noteholders, for payment to each respective Class of Noteholders, the Accrued Note
Interest; provided, that if there are not sufficient funds available to pay the entire amount of the Accrued Note Interest, the amount available shall be applied to the payment of such interest on each Class of Notes on a pro rata basis
based on the amount of interest payable to each Class of Notes; 
 (vi) sixth, to the Holders of the Class A-1 Notes in respect of principal thereof until the Class A-1 Notes have been paid in full; 

(vii) seventh, to the Holders of the
Class A-2-A Notes, Class A-2-B Notes,

 (viii) eighth, pro rata, to the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and
the Asset Representations Reviewer, any accrued and unpaid fees, reasonable expenses and indemnity payments not previously paid; and 

(ix) ninth, any remaining funds shall be distributed to or at the direction of the Certificateholder. 

The Indenture Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Noteholders pursuant to this Section. At least 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. 

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 or automatic occurrence 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 Trust Estate and, if the Indenture Trustee elects to maintain such possession, it 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 aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Outstanding Notes 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; 

  

					
		 	26	 	2018-1 Indenture









 (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 aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Outstanding Notes. 

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 aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Outstanding Notes, 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. 

  

					
		 	27	 	2018-1 Indenture









 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 aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Outstanding Notes, 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; 

(b) any direction to the Indenture Trustee to sell or liquidate the Trust Estate 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 aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Outstanding Notes 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 aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Outstanding Notes, 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 Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereto. 

  

					
		 	28	 	2018-1 Indenture









 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 thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any
suit against the Indenture Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as 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
shall not apply to (a) any suit instituted by the 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 aggregate outstanding principal 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, 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. 

  

					
		 	29	 	2018-1 Indenture









 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 VCI, 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 VCI 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 VCI, 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 aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Outstanding Notes shall, exercise all rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims of the Issuer against the Seller or the Servicer under or in connection
with the Sale and Servicing Agreement or against the Seller or VCI 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 VCI 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. 
 ARTICLE VI THE INDENTURE TRUSTEE 

SECTION 6.1 Duties of the Indenture Trustee. (a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee
shall exercise the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture and shall use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such Person’s own affairs.


  

					
		 	30	 	2018-1 Indenture









 (b) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default: 

(i) the Indenture Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this
Indenture and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture or the other Transaction Documents against the Indenture Trustee; and 

(ii) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Indenture Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements
and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Indenture Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; but in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any
provisions hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee shall examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not
confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein). 
 (c) The Indenture Trustee shall not be
relieved from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct, except that: 

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

(ii) the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer unless it
is proved that the Indenture Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and 
 (iii) the Indenture Trustee
shall not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to Section 5.11. 

(d) Every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Indenture Trustee is subject to paragraphs (a), (b) and
(c) of this Section. 
 (e) The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the
Indenture Trustee may agree in writing with the Issuer. 
 (f) Money held in trust by the Indenture Trustee need not be segregated from other
funds except to the extent required by law or the terms of this Indenture or the Sale and Servicing Agreement. 
 (g) No provision of this
Indenture or any other Transaction Document shall require the Indenture Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or thereunder or in the exercise of any of its
rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds to believe that repayment of such funds or indemnity satisfactory to it against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. 

  

					
		 	31	 	2018-1 Indenture









 (h) Every provision of this Indenture and each other Transaction Document relating to the conduct
or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Indenture Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section and to the provisions of the TIA. 

(i) The Indenture Trustee shall take all actions required to be taken by the Indenture Trustee under the Sale and Servicing Agreement. 

SECTION 6.2 Rights of the Indenture Trustee. Subject to the provisions of Section 6.1: 

(a) The Indenture Trustee may conclusively rely on and shall be protected in acting upon any document believed by it to be genuine and to have
been signed or presented by the proper Person. The Indenture Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document. 
 (b)
Before the Indenture Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officer’s Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel, as applicable. The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes, suffers or omits to take in good
faith in reliance on such Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel. 
 (c) The Indenture Trustee may execute any of the trusts or
powers hereunder or under any of the Transaction Documents to which the Indenture Trustee is a party or perform any duties hereunder or under any of the Transaction Documents to which the Indenture Trustee is a party either directly or by or through
agents or attorneys or a custodian or nominee, and the Indenture Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of, or for the supervision of, the Administrator, any co-trustee
or separate trustee appointed in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.10, or any other such agent, attorney, custodian or nominee appointed with due care by it hereunder. 

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

(e) The Indenture Trustee may consult with counsel, and the advice or opinion of counsel with respect to legal matters relating to this
Indenture, the Notes and any Transaction Documents to which the Indenture Trustee is a party shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect to any action taken, omitted or suffered by it hereunder in good faith and
in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel. 
 (f) The Indenture Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the
rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation under this Indenture or in relation to this Indenture or to honor the request or direction of any of the Noteholders pursuant to this Indenture unless
such Noteholders shall have offered to the Indenture Trustee reasonable security or indemnity satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee against the reasonable costs, expenses, disbursements, advances and liabilities that might be incurred by it, its
agents and its counsel in compliance with such request or direction. 
 (g) The Indenture Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any
Default or Event of Default unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a default is received by a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Indenture Trustee, and such notice references the Notes
and this Indenture. 

  

					
		 	32	 	2018-1 Indenture









 (h) In no event shall the Indenture Trustee be responsible or liable for special, indirect,
punitive or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether the Indenture Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of
action. 
 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 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 occurs and is continuing and if it is
either actually known by a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee 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 and the
Administrator notice of the Default within 90 days after such knowledge or notice occurs. Except in the case of a Default in payment of principal of or interest on any Note (including payments pursuant to the mandatory redemption provisions of such
Note), the Indenture Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of Noteholders. 

SECTION 6.6 Reports by the Indenture Trustee to Noteholders. Within a reasonable period of time after the end of each calendar year
during the term of the Issuer, but not later than the latest date permitted by applicable law, the Indenture Trustee or Paying Agent, at the expense of the Issuer, shall deliver to each Noteholder, such information as may be required by law 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, (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 all reasonable expenses, advances and disbursements reasonably incurred by it in connection
with 

  

					
		 	33	 	2018-1 Indenture









 
the performance of its duties as Indenture Trustee and (iii) indemnify the Indenture Trustee for, and hold it harmless against, any and all loss, liability or expense (including reasonable
attorneys’ fees) incurred by it in connection with the administration of the trust or trusts hereunder or the performance of its duties as Indenture Trustee. 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. The Indenture Trustee shall not be indemnified by the Administrator, the Issuer, the Seller or the Servicer against any loss, liability or expense incurred by it through its own willful misconduct, negligence
or bad faith, except that the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable (i) for any error of judgment made by it in good faith unless it is proved that the Indenture Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts, (ii) with respect
to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it from the Noteholders in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and (iii) for interest on any money received by it except as the Indenture
Trustee and the Issuer may agree in writing. 
 The compensation and indemnity obligations to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section
shall survive the discharge of this Indenture. 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. 

To the extent not paid by the Servicer, any amounts payable by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this
Section 6.7 shall be paid 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 aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Outstanding Notes may remove the Indenture Trustee without cause upon 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. 

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 which satisfies the requirements set forth in Section 6.11. 

  

					
		 	34	 	2018-1 Indenture









 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 subject to satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition. 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 60 days after the retiring Indenture Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Indenture Trustee, the Issuer or the Holders of a majority of the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Outstanding Notes may
petition any court of competent jurisdiction, at the expense of the Issuer, 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 shall not become effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section 6.8 and payment of all fees and expenses owed to the outgoing Indenture Trustee. 

Notwithstanding the resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section, the Issuer’s and the Administrator’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, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation without any further act shall be the successor Indenture Trustee, provided, that such corporation or banking association shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under
Section 6.11. 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.


  

					
		 	35	 	2018-1 Indenture









 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, 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, 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; and 

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

 (d) Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time
constitute the Indenture Trustee its agent or attorney-in-fact with full power and authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in
respect of this Indenture on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and
trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the Indenture Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor trustee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture, the appointment of any separate
trustee or co-trustee shall not relieve the Indenture Trustee of its obligations and duties under this Indenture. 

SECTION 6.11 Eligibility; Disqualification. The Indenture Trustee shall at all times satisfy the requirements of TIA
Section 310(a) and, in addition, shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition and shall have a long term debt rating of investment grade or better by each
Rating Agency or shall otherwise be acceptable to each Rating Agency. The Indenture Trustee shall also satisfy the requirements of TIA Section 310(b). Neither the Issuer nor any Affiliate of the Issuer may serve as Indenture Trustee. 

SECTION 6.12 Preferential Collection of Claims Against the Issuer. The Indenture Trustee shall comply with TIA Section 311(a),

SECTION 6.13 Representations and Warranties. The Indenture Trustee hereby makes the following representations and warranties on which
the Issuer and the Noteholders shall rely: 
 (i) the Indenture Trustee is a national banking association duly organized,
validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the United States of America; and 
 (ii) the Indenture Trustee has
full power, authority and legal right to execute, deliver, and perform this Indenture and shall have taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance by it of this Indenture.

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;

		 	37	 	2018-1 Indenture









 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 aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Outstanding
Notes 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 copy of the list of Noteholders produced in response thereto. 
 (c) The Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and Note Registrar shall have the
protection of TIA Section 312(c).

The Indenture Trustee also shall comply with TIA Section 313(b). A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to Noteholders shall be filed by the Indenture Trustee with the Commission and each stock exchange, if any, on which the Notes are
listed. The Issuer shall notify the Indenture Trustee if and when the Notes are listed on any stock exchange. 
 SECTION 7.4 Noteholder
Demand for Repurchase; Dispute Resolution. 
 (a) If an Investor becomes aware of a breach of VCI’s representations and warranties
in Section 3.3 of the Purchase Agreement or of the Seller’s representations and warranties in Section 2.3 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement that would require VCI or the Seller, as
applicable, to repurchase a Receivable pursuant to Section 3.4 of the Purchase Agreement or Section 2.4 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, as applicable, such Investor (the “Requesting
Investor”) may, by written notice to the Indenture Trustee, direct the Indenture Trustee to notify VCI or the Seller, as applicable, of such breach and request that VCI or the Seller, as applicable, repurchase the related Receivable. Any
such written notice to the Indenture Trustee shall identify the Receivable, 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 7.4, the Indenture Trustee shall forward such written notice to VCI or
the Seller, as applicable, and request that VCI or the Seller, as applicable, repurchase the related Receivable pursuant to Section 3.4 of the Purchase Agreement or Section 2.4 of the Sale and
Servicing Agreement, as applicable. For avoidance of doubt, following delivery of such notice and request to VCI or the Seller, the Indenture Trustee shall have no responsibility or liability for the decision by VCI or the Seller to repurchase or
not to repurchase the related Receivable. 

  

					
		 	38	 	2018-1 Indenture









 (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 VCI or
the Seller, 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. The Requesting
Investor shall instruct the Indenture Trustee as to the selection of mediation or arbitration as the means of dispute resolution. 
 SECTION
7.5 Asset Review Voting.  
 (a) If the Delinquency Percentage on any Payment Date exceeds the Delinquency Trigger, then
Investors holding at least 5% of the aggregate Outstanding Note Balance (the “Instituting Noteholders”) may elect to initiate a vote to determine whether the Asset Representations Reviewer will conduct an Asset Review by giving
written notice to the Indenture Trustee of their desire to institute such a vote within 90 days from the filing of the Form 10-D that discloses that the Delinquency Percentage exceeded the Delinquency Trigger;
provided, however, that the failure of any Investor to institute such a vote shall not preclude such Investor from pursuing dispute resolution pursuant to Section 9.24 of the Sale and Servicing
Agreement. If any of the Instituting Noteholders 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 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, and the Issuer shall notify Investors by the filing of a Form 10-D for the related Collection Period for which a vote has been called. The Indenture Trustee may set a
Record Date for purposes of determining the identity of Investors 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 that discloses that the Delinquency Percentage exceeded the Delinquency Trigger. VCI shall be responsible for any expenses incurred in connection with such disclosure, the voting process
and reimbursing any expenses incurred by the Indenture Trustee in connection therewith. Abstaining from, voting in favor of, or voting against causing the Asset Representations Reviewer to conduct an Asset Review shall not preclude any Investor 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 Investors representing at least a majority of
the voting Investors 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 Issuer will disclose whether or not a Noteholder Direction has occurred. 
 (b) Within five Business Days of the date of the
Noteholder Direction, the Indenture Trustee will send a Review Notice to VW Credit, the Seller, the Servicer and the Asset Representations Reviewer directing the Asset Representations Reviewer to conduct an Asset Review of the Subject Receivables
and specifying the date the Review Conditions are satisfied. 

  

					
		 	39	 	2018-1 Indenture









 (c) Notwithstanding clauses (a) and (b) of this
Section 7.5, an Investor need not direct an Asset Review be performed prior to (i) notifying (or directing the Indenture Trustee to notify) VCI or the Seller, as applicable, of a breach of VCI’s representations
and warranties in Section 3.3 of the Purchase Agreement or of the Seller’s representations and warranties in Section 2.3 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement that would require VCI or the
Seller, as applicable, to repurchase a Receivable pursuant to Section 3.4 of the Purchase Agreement or Section 2.4 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, as applicable, or (ii) referring the
matter, at its discretion, to either mediation or arbitration pursuant to Section 9.24 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

Servicing Agreement. The Indenture Trustee shall apply all such money received by it as provided in this Indenture and the Sale and Servicing Agreement. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Indenture, if any default occurs in the making of

to the Indenture Trustee to make any such investment or sale, if requested by the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee an Opinion of Counsel, acceptable to the Indenture Trustee, to such effect. 

(b) Subject to Section 6.1(c), the Indenture Trustee shall not in any way be held liable by reason of any
insufficiency in any of the Trust Accounts resulting from any loss on any Permitted Investment included therein, except for losses attributable to the Indenture Trustee’s failure to make payments on any such Permitted Investments issued by the
Indenture Trustee in its commercial capacity as principal obligor and not as trustee, in accordance with their terms. 
 (c) If
(i) investment directions shall not have been given in writing by the Servicer in accordance with Section 4.1(b) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement for any funds on deposit in the Trust Accounts to the Indenture
Trustee by 11:00 a.m., New York City time (or such other time as may be agreed by the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee), on any Business Day (ii) a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the Notes

in one or more Permitted Investments in accordance with the standing instructions most recently given by the Servicer. 

  

					
		 	41	 	2018-1 Indenture









 SECTION 8.4 Release of Collateral. (a) Subject to the payment of its fees and
expenses pursuant to Section 6.7, the Indenture Trustee may if permitted by and in accordance with the terms hereof, and when required by the provisions of this Indenture shall, execute instruments to release property from
the lien of this Indenture, or convey the Indenture Trustee’s interest in the same, in a manner and under circumstances that are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture or such other document. 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 to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to
Section 6.7 have been paid (as certified by an Authorized Officer of the Issuer in an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Indenture Trustee), release any remaining portion of the Collateral that secured the Notes
from the lien of this Indenture and release to the Issuer or any other Person entitled thereto any funds then on deposit in the Trust Accounts. Such release shall include release of the lien of this Indenture and transfer of dominion and control
over the Trust Accounts to the Issuer or its designee. The Indenture Trustee shall release property from the lien of this Indenture pursuant to this Section only upon receipt of an Issuer Request accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate, an
Opinion of Counsel and (if required by the TIA) Independent Certificates in accordance with TIA Sections 314(c) and 314(d)(1) meeting the applicable requirements of Section 11.1. 

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
from time to time the Indenture Trustee shall release the lien of this Indenture (or shall be deemed to automatically release the lien of this Indenture without any further action) on any Receivable to be sold to (i) the Seller in accordance
with Section 2.3 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, (ii) to the Servicer in accordance with Section 3.6 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement and (iii) to VCI in accordance with
Section 3.3 of the Purchase Agreement.

involved, and the Indenture Trustee may also require as a condition to such action, an Opinion of Counsel, in form and substance satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee, stating the legal effect of any such action, outlining the steps required to
complete the same, and concluding that all conditions precedent to the taking of such action have been complied with and such action will not materially and adversely impair the security for the Notes or the rights of the Noteholders in
contravention of the provisions of this Indenture; provided, 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, as to factual
matters, 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.

stipulations that may be therein contained.

lien of this Indenture; or 
 (viii) impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of payment as provided in
Section 5.7. 
 It shall not be necessary for any Act of Noteholders under this Section to approve the particular
form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such Act shall approve the substance thereof. 
 Promptly after
the execution by the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee of any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Section, the Indenture Trustee shall mail to the Noteholders to which such amendment or supplemental indenture relates a notice (to be provided by
the Issuer and at the Issuer’s expense) setting forth in general terms the substance of such supplemental indenture. Any failure of the Indenture Trustee to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or

 SECTION 9.3 Execution of Supplemental Indentures. In executing, or permitting the
additional trusts created by, any supplemental indenture permitted by this Article IX or the modifications thereby of the trusts created by this Indenture, the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and subject to Sections

given by the Indenture Trustee by facsimile or by first-class mail, postage prepaid, transmitted or mailed prior to the applicable Redemption Date to each Holder of Notes as of the close of business on the Record Date preceding the applicable
Redemption Date, at such Holder’s address appearing in the Note Register. 
 All notices of redemption shall state:

(ii) the Redemption Price; 

(iii) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Redemption Date is not applicable and that payments shall be made only

Section 3.2);

Section 10.2 (in the case of redemption pursuant to Section 10.1), on the Redemption Date become due and payable at the Redemption Price and (unless the Issuer shall default in the payment of the

 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. 

  

					
		 	48	 	2018-1 Indenture









 Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more applications, requests,
consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other instruments under this Indenture, they may, but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument. 

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

(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, and addressed in each case as specified on Schedule
II 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. 

  

					
		 	49	 	2018-1 Indenture









 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 to each Noteholder affected by such event, at his address as it appears on the Note
Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice. In any case where notice to Noteholders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice nor any defect in any
notice so mailed to any particular Noteholder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Noteholders, and any notice that is mailed in the manner herein provided shall conclusively be presumed to have been duly given. 

Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by any Person entitled to receive such notice,
either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Noteholders shall be filed with the Indenture Trustee but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action
taken in reliance upon such a waiver. 
 In case, by reason of the suspension of regular mail service as a result of a strike, work stoppage
or similar activity, it shall be impractical to mail notice of any event to Noteholders when such notice is required to be given pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, then any manner of giving such notice as shall be satisfactory to the
Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to be a sufficient giving of such notice. 
 Where this Indenture provides for notice to 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 acceptable to the applicable depository. The Indenture Trustee shall acknowledge receipt of any instructions from the Issuer regarding any alternate method of notice or
payment as described in the preceding sentence. 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.

Benefits of Indenture. Nothing in this Indenture or in the Notes, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than (i) the parties hereto and their successors hereunder, (ii) the Owner Trustee, (iii) the Noteholders and
(iv) 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 11.12 Legal Holidays. In any case where the date on which any payment is due shall not be a Business Day, then (notwithstanding
any other provision of the Notes or this Indenture) payment need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the date on which nominally due, and no interest shall accrue
for the period from and after any such nominal date. 
 SECTION 11.13 Governing Law. 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. 
 SECTION 11.14
Counterparts. This Indenture may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. 

SECTION 11.15 Recording of Indenture. If this Indenture is subject to recording in any appropriate public recording offices, such
recording is to be effected by the Issuer and at its expense accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such recording is necessary either for the protection of the Noteholders or any other Person secured hereunder or for the
enforcement of any right or remedy granted to the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture.

(ii) and (iii) above, except as any such Person may have expressly agreed (it being understood that the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee have no such obligations in their individual capacity) and except that any such
partner, owner or beneficiary shall be fully liable, to the extent provided by applicable law, for any unpaid consideration for stock, unpaid capital contribution or failure to pay any installment or call owing to such entity. 

SECTION 11.17 No Petition. Each of 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 relief with respect to such Bankruptcy Remote Party or its debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction or seeking the appointment of an

 SECTION 11.18 Intent. (a) It is the intent of the Issuer that the
Notes constitute indebtedness for all financial accounting purposes and the Issuer agrees and each purchaser of a Note (by virtue of the acquisition of such Note or an interest therein) shall be deemed to have agreed, to treat the Notes as

 (b) It is the intent of the Issuer that the Notes constitute indebtedness of the
Issuer for all tax purposes and the Issuer agrees and each purchaser of a Note (by virtue of the acquisition of 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 and franchise and/or value added tax purposes. 
 SECTION 11.19 Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. Each of the
parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally: 
 (a) submits for itself and its property in any legal action or Proceeding relating
to this Indenture or any documents executed and delivered in connection herewith, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the nonexclusive general jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York, the courts of

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 Indenture, the Certificateholder, by accepting the Certificate, 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, each Note Owner or the 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 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 Indenture, the Certificateholder, by accepting the 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 and the terms of this Section may be enforced by an action for specific
performance. The provisions of this Section will be for the third party benefit of those entitled to rely thereon and will survive the termination of this Indenture.

 SCHEDULE I 

PERFECTION REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS 

In addition to the representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Indenture, the Issuer hereby represents, warrants, and covenants
to the Indenture Trustee as follows on the Closing Date: 
 General 

1. The Indenture creates a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the applicable UCC) in the Receivables and the other
Collateral in favor of the Indenture Trustee, which security interest is prior to all other Liens, and is enforceable as such as against creditors of and purchasers from the Issuer. 

2. The Receivables constitute “chattel paper” (including “electronic chattel paper” or “tangible chattel paper”)
“accounts,” “instruments,” or “general intangibles,” within the meaning of the UCC. 
 3. Immediately prior to
the pledge thereof pursuant to this Indenture, each Receivable was secured by a first priority validly perfected security interest in the related Financed Vehicle in favor of the Originator (or its assignee), as secured party, or all necessary
actions with respect to such Receivable have been taken or will be taken to perfect a first priority security interest in the related Financed Vehicle in favor of the Originator (or its assignee), as secured party. 

4. Each Trust Account constitutes either a “deposit account” or a “securities account” within the meaning of the UCC. 

Creation 
 5.
Immediately prior to the sale, transfer, assignment and conveyance of a Receivable by the Seller to the Issuer, the Seller owned and had good and marketable title to such Receivable free and clear of any Lien and immediately after the sale,
transfer, assignment and conveyance of such Receivable to the Issuer, the Issuer will have good and marketable title to such Receivable free and clear of any Lien. 

Perfection 
 6. The
Issuer has caused or will have caused, within ten days after the effective date of the Indenture, the filing of all appropriate financing statements in the proper filing office in the appropriate jurisdictions under applicable law in order to
perfect the security interest in the Receivables granted to the Indenture Trustee hereunder; and the Servicer has in its possession the original copies of such instruments or tangible chattel paper that constitute or evidence the Receivables, and
all financing statements referred to in this paragraph contain a statement that: “A purchase of or security interest in any collateral described in this financing statement will violate the rights of the Secured Party.” 

  
 I - 1 








 7. With respect to Receivables that constitute instruments or tangible chattel paper, either:

 (i) all original executed copies of each such instrument or tangible chattel paper have been delivered to the Indenture Trustee; or 

(ii) such instruments or tangible chattel paper are in the possession of the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee has received a written
acknowledgment from the Servicer that the Servicer (in its capacity as custodian) is holding such instruments or tangible chattel paper solely on behalf and for the benefit of the Indenture Trustee as pledgee of the Issuer; or 

(iii) the Servicer received possession of such instruments or tangible chattel paper after the Indenture Trustee received a written
acknowledgment from the Servicer that the Servicer is acting solely as agent of the Indenture Trustee as pledgee of the Issuer. 
 8. With
respect to the Trust Accounts that constitute deposit accounts, either: 
 (i) the Issuer has delivered to the Indenture Trustee a fully
executed agreement pursuant to which the bank maintaining the deposit accounts has agreed to comply with all instructions originated by the Indenture Trustee directing disposition of the funds in such Trust Accounts without further consent by the
Issuer; or 
 (ii) the Issuer has taken all steps necessary to cause the Indenture Trustee to become the account holder of such Trust
Accounts. 
 9. With respect to the Trust Accounts that constitute securities accounts or securities entitlements, either: 

(i) the Issuer has delivered to the Indenture Trustee a fully executed agreement pursuant to which the securities intermediary has agreed to
comply with all instructions originated by the Indenture Trustee relating to such Trust Accounts without further consent by the Issuer; or 

(ii) the Issuer has taken all steps necessary to cause the securities intermediary to identify in its records the Indenture Trustee as the
Person having a security entitlement against the securities intermediary in each of such Trust Accounts. 
 Priority 

10. The Issuer has not authorized the filing of, and is not aware of any financing statements against the Issuer that include a description of
collateral covering the Receivables other than any financing statement (i) relating to the conveyance of the Receivables by VCI to the Seller under the Purchase Agreement, (ii) relating to the conveyance of the Receivables by the Seller to
