produced, of the tenor of the Definitive Notes in lieu of which they are issued and with such variations not inconsistent with the terms of this Indenture as the officers executing such Notes may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such
Notes. 
 If temporary Notes are issued, the Issuer shall cause Definitive Notes to be prepared without unreasonable delay.
After the preparation of Definitive Notes, the temporary Notes shall be exchangeable for Definitive Notes upon surrender of the temporary Notes at the office or agency of the Issuer to be maintained as provided in Section 3.2, without
charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Notes, the Issuer shall execute and the Indenture Trustee upon Issuer Order shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of Definitive
Notes of authorized denominations. Until so exchanged, the temporary Notes shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as Definitive Notes. 
 SECTION 2.4 Registration of Transfer and Exchange. (a) The Issuer shall cause to be kept a register (the “Note Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as
it may prescribe, the Issuer shall provide for the registration of Notes and the registration of transfers of Notes. The Indenture Trustee shall initially be “Note Registrar” for the purpose of registering Notes and transfers of Notes as
herein provided. Upon any resignation of any Note Registrar, the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor or, if it elects not to make such an appointment, assume the duties of Note Registrar. 

If a Person other than the Indenture Trustee is appointed by the Issuer as Note Registrar, the Issuer shall give the Indenture Trustee
prompt written notice of the appointment of such Note Registrar and of the location, and any change in the location, of the Note Register, and the Indenture Trustee shall have the right to inspect the Note Register at all reasonable times and to
obtain copies thereof, and the Indenture Trustee shall have the right to conclusively rely upon a certificate executed on behalf of the Note Registrar by a Responsible Officer thereof as to the names and addresses of the Noteholders and the
principal amounts and number of such Notes. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, for so long as U.S. Bank National Association is
acting as the Indenture Trustee hereunder, it shall also act as the Note Registrar.

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

satisfactory to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee duly executed by the Noteholder thereof or its attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing, with such signature guaranteed by an “eligible grantor institution” meeting the requirements
of the Note Registrar which requirements include membership or participation in the Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program (“Stamp”) or such other “signature guarantee program” as may be determined by the Note
Registrar in addition to, or in substitution for, Stamp, all in accordance with the Exchange Act and (ii) accompanied by such other documents as the Indenture Trustee may require, including but not limited to the applicable IRS Form W-8 or
W-9. 
 (e) No service charge shall be made to a Noteholder for any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, but the
Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 2.3 or
Section 9.6 not involving any transfer. 
 The preceding provisions of this Section notwithstanding, the Issuer

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

(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.

hereunder. 
 The provisions of this Section 2.5 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other
rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes. 
 SECTION 2.6
Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of any Note, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee shall treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered (as

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.

the Definitive Notes as Noteholders.

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

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

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

other employee benefit plan or retirement arrangement that is subject to Similar Law; or (b) (i) such Investment Grade Note is rated at least “BBB-” or its equivalent by at least one Rating Agency at the time of purchase or
transfer and (ii) the acquisition, holding and disposition of such Investment Grade Note (or any interest therein) will not give rise to a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or a

Notes will be debt for United States federal income tax purposes or (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), the sale or transfer of such Notes
must be to a Person who is a United States Person (within the meaning of the Code) and such Notes, the Non-Investment Grade Notes (unless a Debt-For-Tax Opinion has been delivered) and the Residual Interest may at no time be held by more than 95
Persons, directly or indirectly, unless such Opinion of Counsel also states that such Notes will be debt for United States federal income tax purposes. 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. 

(c) Any purported transfer of a Note not in accordance with this Section 2.15 shall be null and void ab initio and
shall not be given effect for any purpose hereunder. 
 (d) The Indenture Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor,
determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Investment Grade Note other than to require delivery of such
certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by the terms of, this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express
requirements hereof. 
 SECTION 2.16 Certain Transfer Restrictions on the Non-Investment Grade Notes. 

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

transferee of such Non-Investment Grade Note (except for transfers of Notes to the Depositor or any of its Affiliates and by the Depositor or any of its Affiliates as part of the initial distribution or any redistribution of the Non-Investment Grade
Notes by the Depositor or any of its Affiliates pursuant to a note purchase agreement or any similar agreement) shall be deemed to have represented and agreed as follows (or, in the case of any Non-Investment Grade Notes to which
Section 2.12 shall apply at such time, such transferee will be required to provide a written representation letter substantially in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto in which such prospective transferee shall have represented

such account. Any purported transfer of the Non-Investment Grade Notes to a purchaser that does not comply with the requirements of this paragraph shall be null and void ab initio. The Issuer may sell any Non-Investment Grade Notes acquired

of and request information from the Servicer, the Depositor and the Issuer. The transferee has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in the
Non-Investment Grade Notes, and the transferee and any accounts for which it is acting are each able to bear the economic risk of the holder’s or of its investment.

Non-Investment Grade Notes, the Servicer, any entity related to any of them and any other purchaser of Non-Investment Grade Notes will not, in any way, be responsible for or stand behind the capital value or the performance of the Non-Investment

by the Indenture Trustee and the Depositor of an Opinion of Counsel, subject to the assumptions and qualifications stated therein, and in a form substantially acceptable to the Depositor and the Indenture Trustee, to the effect that either
(x) such Non-Investment Grade Notes will be debt for United States federal income tax purposes or (y) that the sale of such Non-Investment Grade Notes to a Person unrelated to the Issuer or the 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), the sale or transfer
of such Non-Investment Grade Notes must be to a Person who is a United States Person (within the meaning of the Code) unless such Opinion of Counsel also states that the Notes will be debt for United States federal income tax purposes. 

(xiii) The Non-Investment Grade Notes and the Residual Interest together may at no time be held by more than 95 Persons.
No transfer of Non-Investment Grade Notes will be permitted to the extent that such transfer would cause the number of direct or indirect holders of an interest in the Non-Investment Grade Notes and the Residual Interest to exceed a number equal to
95 Persons unless a Debt-For-Tax Opinion has been delivered. The Depositor shall have the duty and obligation to ascertain the number of direct or indirect holders of an interest in the Non-Investment Grade Notes and Residual Interest, and neither
the Indenture Trustee nor the Note Registrar shall have any duty or obligation with respect to the foregoing. 

(xiv) No Noteholder of a Non-Investment Grade Note shall acquire or transfer any Non-Investment Grade Note (or any
interest therein) or cause any Non-Investment Grade Notes (or any interest therein) to be marketed on or through an “established securities market” within the meaning of Section 7704(b)(1) of the Code, including, without limitation,
an over-the-counter market or an interdealer quotation system that regularly disseminates firm buy or sell quotations.

 (xv) Unless a Debt-For-Tax Opinion has been delivered, each Noteholder of a
Non-Investment Grade Note shall represent and warrant that it (i) is not, and will not become, a partnership, a corporation taxed under Subchapter S of the Code or grantor trust for U.S. federal income tax purposes, or (ii) is such an
entity and at all times the value of any Non-Investment Grade Notes, as the case may be, that it holds or beneficially owns represents, or will represent, less than 50% of the value of all of its assets and at no time will any Non-Investment Grade
Notes that it holds or beneficially owns be disproportionately represented (in relation to its other assets) in the value of any of its ownership interests. 
 (xvi) The provisions of this Section and of the Indenture generally are intended to prevent the Issuer from being characterized as a “publicly traded partnership” within the meaning of
Section 7704 of the Code, in reliance on Treasury Regulations Sections 1.7704-1(e) and (h), and the Indenture Trustee shall take such intent into account in determining whether or not to consent to any proposed transfer of any Non-Investment
Grade Note. 
 (xvii) Each Noteholder of a Non-Investment Grade Note will be deemed to have represented to the
Issuer, the Servicer, any initial purchaser of the Non-Investment Grade Notes and the Indenture Trustee that for so long as it holds such Non-Investment Grade Note (or any interest therein) (a) it is not acquiring such Non-Investment Grade Note
with any assets of a Benefit Plan; and (b) either (i) it is not acquiring such Non-Investment Grade Note with the assets of a governmental, non-U.S. or church plan or any other employee benefit plan or retirement arrangement that is
subject to Similar Law or (ii) its acquisition, holding and disposition of such Non-Investment Grade Note (or any interest therein) will not give rise to a violation of Similar Law. 

(xviii) Each Non-Investment Grade Note will bear a legend to the following effect: 

“THIS NOTE OR ANY INTEREST HEREIN HAS NOT BEEN AND WILL NOT BE REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED
(THE “SECURITIES ACT”) OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES, AND THE ISSUER HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT OF 1940, AS AMENDED (THE “INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT”). THIS NOTE

THE TRUST AGREEMENT (AS DEFINED IN THE INDENTURE) AND THE NON-INVESTMENT GRADE NOTES TO EXCEED A NUMBER EQUAL TO 95 PERSONS UNLESS A DEBT-FOR-TAX OPINION HAS BEEN DELIVERED. EACH PURCHASER WILL BE DEEMED TO HAVE MADE CERTAIN REPRESENTATIONS AND
AGREEMENTS SET FORTH IN THE INDENTURE. ANY TRANSFER IN VIOLATION OF THE FOREGOING WILL BE OF NO FORCE AND EFFECT, WILL BE VOID AB INITIO, AND WILL NOT OPERATE TO TRANSFER ANY RIGHTS TO THE TRANSFEREE, NOTWITHSTANDING ANY INSTRUCTIONS TO THE
CONTRARY TO THE ISSUER, THE INDENTURE TRUSTEE, OR ANY INTERMEDIARY. IF AT ANY TIME, THE ISSUER DETERMINES OR IS NOTIFIED THAT THE HOLDER OF SUCH NOTE OR BENEFICIAL INTEREST IN SUCH NOTE WAS IN BREACH, AT THE TIME GIVEN, OF ANY OF THE REPRESENTATIONS
SET FORTH IN THE INDENTURE, THE ISSUER AND THE INDENTURE TRUSTEE MAY CONSIDER THE ACQUISITION OF THIS NOTE OR SUCH INTEREST IN SUCH NOTE VOID AND REQUIRE THAT THIS NOTE OR SUCH INTEREST HEREIN BE TRANSFERRED TO A PERSON DESIGNATED BY THE ISSUER.

 BY YOUR ACQUISITION OF THIS NOTE OR ANY INTEREST HEREIN, YOU SHALL BE DEEMED TO REPRESENT, COVENANT AND AGREE, FOR THE BENEFIT
OF THE ISSUER, THE SERVICER, ANY INITIAL PURCHASER OF THIS NOTE AND THE INDENTURE TRUSTEE, THAT (A) YOU ARE NOT ACQUIRING THIS NOTE (OR INTEREST HEREIN) WITH THE ASSETS OF A BENEFIT PLAN (AS DEFINED BELOW); AND (B) EITHER (i) YOU ARE

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.

cause to be paid all amounts on deposit in the Collection Account which represent Available Funds for such Payment Date in accordance with the Sale and Servicing Agreement. Amounts properly withheld under the Code by any Person from a payment to any
Noteholder of interest and/or principal shall be considered to have been paid by the Issuer to such Noteholder for all purposes of this Indenture. Interest accrued on the Notes shall be due and payable on each Payment Date. The final interest

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

By noon, New York City time, on the Business Day prior to each Payment Date and Redemption Date, the Issuer shall deposit or cause to be
deposited into the Collection Account an aggregate sum sufficient to pay the amounts then becoming due under the Notes and to other Persons entitled to payment on each Payment Date, and the Paying Agent shall hold such sum in trust for the benefit
of the Persons entitled thereto pursuant to the Transaction Documents and (unless the Paying Agent is the Indenture Trustee) shall promptly notify the Indenture Trustee in writing of its action or failure so to act. 

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

(i) hold all sums held by it for the payment of amounts due with respect to the Notes in trust for the benefit of the
Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and pay such sums to such Persons as provided in the Transaction Documents; 

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

(iv) immediately resign as a Paying Agent and forthwith pay to the Indenture Trustee all sums held by it in trust for the

 (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 and with respect to any
applicable reporting requirements in connection therewith. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, for so long as U.S. Bank National
Association is acting as the Indenture Trustee hereunder, it shall also act as the Paying Agent. 
 The Issuer may at any time,
for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, by Issuer Order direct any Paying Agent to pay to the

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. 
 Subject to applicable laws with respect to the escheat of funds, any money held by the Indenture Trustee or any Paying Agent in trust for the payment of any amount due with respect to any Note and
remaining unclaimed for two years after such amount has become due and payable shall be discharged from such trust and distributed by the Indenture Trustee to the Issuer upon receipt of an Issuer Request and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter,
as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Issuer for payment thereof and all liability of the Indenture Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Indenture
Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, shall at the reasonable expense of the Issuer cause to be published once, in an Authorized Newspaper, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date
specified therein, which date shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining shall be paid to the Issuer. The Indenture Trustee may also adopt and employ, at the written direction
of and at the expense of the Issuer, any other reasonable means of notification of such repayment (including, but not limited to, mailing notice of such repayment to Holders whose Notes have been called but have not been surrendered for redemption
or whose right to or interest in monies due and payable but not claimed is determinable from the records of the Indenture Trustee or of any Paying Agent, at the last address of record for each such Noteholder). 

SECTION 3.4 Existence. The Issuer will keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a statutory trust under the
laws of the State of Delaware (unless it becomes, or any successor Issuer hereunder is or becomes, organized under the laws of any other State or of the United States of America, in which case the Issuer shall keep in full effect its existence,
rights and franchises under the laws of such other jurisdiction) and shall obtain and preserve its qualification to do business in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of
this Indenture, the Notes, the Collateral and each other instrument or agreement included in the Trust Estate. 
 SECTION 3.5
Protection of Collateral. The Issuer intends the security interest Granted pursuant to this Indenture in favor of the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders to be prior to all other Liens in respect of the Collateral, and the Issuer

interest of Indenture Trustee therein cannot be perfected by the filing of a financing statement). The Issuer shall from time to time execute and deliver all such supplements and amendments hereto and shall file or shall authorize the filing of all
such financing statements, continuation statements, instruments of further assurance and other instruments, all as prepared by the Administrator and delivered to the Issuer, and shall take such other action necessary or advisable to:

such counsel, no such action is necessary to make such lien and security interest effective. 
 (b) Within 120 days after the
beginning of each calendar year, beginning with April 30, 2013, the Issuer shall furnish to the Indenture Trustee an Opinion of Counsel either stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, such action has been taken with respect to the
recording, filing, re-recording and refiling of this Indenture, any indentures supplemental hereto and any other requisite documents and with respect to the execution and filing of any financing statements and continuation statements as are

Table of Contents


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

“Notice of Default” hereunder; or 
 (e) a Bankruptcy Event with respect to the Issuer; 

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

to be immediately due and payable, by a notice in writing to the Issuer (and to the Indenture Trustee if given by Noteholders), and upon any such declaration the unpaid Note Balance of the Notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon
through the date of acceleration, shall become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in Section 5.1(e) occurs, all unpaid principal, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, of all Notes, and all
other amounts payable hereunder, shall automatically become due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Indenture Trustee or any Noteholder.

 (b) At any time after such declaration of acceleration of maturity has been made and before
a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Indenture Trustee as hereinafter provided for in this Article V, the Noteholders representing a majority of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class, by written
notice to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if: 

(i) the Issuer has paid or deposited with the Indenture Trustee a sum sufficient to pay (A) all payments of principal
of and interest on all Notes and all other amounts that would then be due hereunder or upon such Notes if the Event of Default giving rise to such acceleration had not occurred, and (B) all sums paid or advanced by the Indenture Trustee
hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee and its agents and counsel; and 
 (ii) all Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of the principal of the Notes that has become due solely by such acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 5.12.

 No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereto. 

If the Notes have been declared due and payable or have automatically become due and payable following an Event of Default, the Indenture
Trustee may institute Proceedings to collect amounts due, exercise remedies as a secured party (including foreclosure or sale of the Collateral) or elect to maintain the Collateral. Any sale of the Collateral by the Indenture Trustee will be subject
to the terms and conditions of Section 5.4. 
 SECTION 5.3 Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement

Business Days, or (ii) default is made in the payment of the principal of or any installment of the principal of any Note when the same becomes due and payable, the Issuer will, upon demand of the Indenture Trustee in writing as directed by the
Noteholders representing not less than a majority of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class, pay to the Indenture Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes, the whole amount then due and payable on such Notes for principal and
interest, with interest upon the overdue principal, and, to the extent payment at such rate of interest shall be legally enforceable, upon overdue installments of interest, at the applicable Interest Rate and in addition thereto such further amount
as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee and its agents and counsel. 

(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.

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.

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

otherwise: 
 (i) to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount of principal and interest owing and
unpaid in respect of the Notes and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Indenture Trustee (including any claim for reasonable compensation to the Indenture Trustee and each
predecessor Indenture Trustee, and their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and for reimbursement of all expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Indenture Trustee and each predecessor Indenture Trustee, except as a
result of negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct) and of the Noteholders allowed in such Proceedings;

trustee, a standby trustee or Person performing similar functions in any such Proceedings;

 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.

such Proceeding except, as aforesaid, to vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar Person. 
 (f) All rights
of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture, or under any of the Notes, may be enforced by the Indenture Trustee without the possession of any of the Notes or the production thereof in any trial or other Proceedings relative thereto, and

Trustee, each predecessor Indenture Trustee and their respective agents and attorneys, shall be for the ratable benefit of the Noteholders, to the extent set forth in Section 5.4(b). 

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

 (iv) subject to Section 5.17, after an acceleration of the
maturity of the Notes pursuant to Section 5.2, sell the Collateral or any portion thereof or rights or interest therein, at one or more public or private sales called and conducted in any manner permitted by law; 

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

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

(i) first, to the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee, any accrued and unpaid fees (including any unpaid
Indenture Trustee fees or Owner Trustee fees with respect to prior periods) and any reasonable expenses (including indemnification amounts) not previously paid by the Servicer; 

(ii) second, to the Servicer, the Servicing Fee and all unpaid Servicing Fees with respect to prior periods;

 (iii) third, to the Holders of the Class A Notes, the Accrued Class A Note Interest;
provided that if there are not sufficient funds available to pay the entire amount of the Accrued Class A Note Interest, the amount available shall be applied to the payment of such interest on each Class of Class A Notes on a pro
rata basis based on the amount of interest payable to each Class of Class A Notes;

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

Noteholder or group of Noteholders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Noteholders or to obtain or to seek to obtain
priority or preference over any other Noteholders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except, in each case, to the extent and in the manner herein provided. 
 In the event the Indenture Trustee shall receive conflicting or inconsistent requests and indemnity from two or more groups of Noteholders, each representing less than a majority of the Note Balance of
the Controlling Class, the Indenture Trustee in its sole discretion may determine what action, if any, shall be taken, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture.

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.

the Indenture Trustee is permitted to take such action pursuant to Section 5.4(a);

 (e) such direction shall be in writing;

Upon any such waiver, such Event of Default shall cease to exist and be deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred, and any Event

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

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 or the Noteholders shall be impaired by the recovery of any judgment by the Indenture Trustee against the Issuer or by the levy of any execution under such judgment upon any portion of the Trust Estate or upon any of the assets of the
Issuer. Any money or property collected by the Indenture Trustee shall be applied in accordance with Section 5.4(b), if the maturity of the Notes has been accelerated pursuant to Section 5.2 of this Indenture, or

and privileges lawfully available to the Issuer under or in connection with the Sale and Servicing Agreement and the Purchase Agreement, as the case may be, to the extent and in the manner directed by the Indenture Trustee, including the
transmission of notices of default on the part of the Seller, the Servicer or Santander Consumer thereunder and the institution of legal or administrative actions or Proceedings to compel or secure performance by the Seller or the Servicer of each
of their obligations under the Sale and Servicing Agreement or by the Seller or Santander Consumer, as applicable, of each of their obligations under or in connection with the Purchase Agreement.

Servicing Agreement, against the Seller or Santander Consumer under the Purchase Agreement, including the right or power to take any action to compel or secure performance or observance by the Seller, the Servicer or Santander Consumer of each of
their obligations to the Issuer thereunder and to give any consent, request, notice, direction, approval, extension or waiver under the Sale and Servicing Agreement or the Purchase Agreement, as applicable, and any right of the Issuer to take such
action shall be suspended.

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.

examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture.

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.

Trustee may consult with counsel, and the advice or opinion of counsel with respect to legal matters relating to this Indenture and the Notes shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect to any action taken,

 (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

and its counsel in compliance with such request or direction. 
 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 or an Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if it is either actually known or

such information as may be required by law to enable such Holder to prepare its federal and state income tax returns.

for, and hold it harmless against, any and all loss, liability, expense, tax, penalty or claim (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) incurred by it in connection with the administration
of the trust or trusts hereunder or 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 within a reasonable time following receipt by
the Servicer of an invoice therefor. None of the Administrator, the Issuer, the Seller, or the Servicer shall be liable for or required to indemnify the Indenture Trustee from and against any of the foregoing expenses or indemnities arising or
resulting from (i) its own willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence, (ii) the inaccuracy of any representation or warranty contained in Section 6.13 made by the Indenture Trustee or (iii) taxes, fees or other
charges on, based on or measured by, any fees, commissions or compensation received by the Indenture Trustee. 
 The
compensation and indemnity obligations to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section 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. 

Any amounts payable by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section 6.7 shall be paid by the Issuer in
accordance with Section 4.4 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement or Section 5.4(b) of this Indenture, as applicable. 
 SECTION 6.8 Removal, Resignation and Replacement of the Indenture Trustee. The Indenture Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the Issuer, the Administrator and the Servicer. The Holders
of a majority of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class may remove the Indenture Trustee without cause by so notifying 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.

 A successor Indenture Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the
retiring Indenture Trustee and to the Issuer. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Indenture Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Indenture Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall have all the rights,
powers and duties of the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Indenture Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to Noteholders. The retiring Indenture Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as the Indenture
Trustee to the successor Indenture Trustee.

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.

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 Servicer’s obligations under Section 6.7 shall continue for the benefit
of the retiring Indenture Trustee. 
 The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for the acts or omissions of any successor
Indenture Trustee. 
 SECTION 6.9 Successor Indenture Trustee by Merger. Subject to Section 6.11, if the
Indenture Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all its corporate trust business or assets to, another corporation or banking association, 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. 
 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

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;

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

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.

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.

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.

that the Indenture Trustee deems sufficient.

such communication by an officer of the recipient entitled to receive such notices located at the address of such recipient for notices hereunder. 
 SECTION 11.5 Notices to Noteholders; Waiver. Where this Indenture provides for notice to Noteholders of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly
provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class, postage prepaid or via electronic transmission to each Noteholder affected by such event, at his address as it appears on the Note 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.

stoppage or similar activity, it shall be impractical to mail notice of any event to Noteholders when such notice is required to be given pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, then any manner of giving such notice as shall be satisfactory to
the Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to be a sufficient giving of such notice. 
 Where this Indenture provides for notice to
the Rating Agencies, failure to give such notice shall not affect any other rights or obligations created hereunder, and shall not under any circumstance constitute a Default or an Event of Default. 

SECTION 11.6 Alternate Payment and Notice Provisions. Notwithstanding any provision of this Indenture or any of the Notes to the
contrary, the Issuer may enter into any agreement with any Noteholder providing for a method of payment, or notice by the Indenture Trustee or any Paying Agent to such Noteholder, that is different from the methods provided for in this Indenture for
such payments or notices, provided that such methods are reasonable and consented to by the Indenture Trustee (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). The Issuer will furnish to the Indenture Trustee a copy of each such agreement
and the Indenture Trustee will cause payments to be made and notices to be given in accordance with such agreements. 
 SECTION

provision shall control.

 In addition to the

 (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 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

(herein called the “Class E Notes” or the “Notes”), all issued under an Indenture, dated as of May 16, 2012 (such Indenture, as supplemented or amended, is herein called the “Indenture”),

 The Class A-1 Notes, the
Class A-2 Notes, the Class A-3 Notes, the Class B Notes, the Class C Notes, the Class D Notes and the Class E Notes are and will be equally and ratably secured by the collateral pledged as security therefor as provided in the Indenture.
All covenants and agreements made by the Issuer in the Indenture are for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes. 
 Principal
payable on the Notes will be paid on each Payment Date in the amount specified in the Indenture and in the Sale and Servicing Agreement. As described above, the entire Class E Note Balance shall be due and payable on the earliest of
(i) June 17, 2019 (the “Final Scheduled Payment Date”), (ii) the Redemption Date, if any, pursuant to Section 10.1 of the Indenture and (iii) the date the Notes are accelerated after an Event of
Default pursuant to Section 5.2 of the Indenture. All principal payments on the Class E Notes shall be made pro rata to the Class E Noteholders entitled thereto.

Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of this Note, or, in the case of a Note Owner of a beneficial interest in this Note,
covenants and agrees that no recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee on the Notes or under the Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered

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.
