 TRUST AGREEMENT, dated as of November 22, 2017, is between ALLY AUTO ASSETS LLC, a Delaware
limited liability company, in its capacity as a depositor (the “Depositor”), and BNY MELLON TRUST OF DELAWARE, a Delaware banking corporation, as trustee and not in its individual capacity (the “Owner Trustee”), and
as paying agent. 
 WHEREAS, the Depositor and the Owner Trustee previously entered into a certain Trust Agreement, dated November 1,
2017 (the “Original Trust Agreement”), that contemplated this Trust Agreement; and 
 WHEREAS, the Depositor and the Owner
Trustee desire hereby to amend and restate the Original Trust Agreement in its entirety. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, the Depositor and the Owner
Trustee hereby agree as follows: 
 ARTICLE I 

DEFINITIONS AND INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE 

Section 1.1 Definitions. Certain capitalized terms used in this Trust Agreement shall have the respective meanings assigned to
them in Part I of Appendix A to the Servicing Agreement of even date herewith among the Depositor, the Servicer and the Trust (as amended, supplemented or modified from time to time, the “Servicing Agreement”). All references herein
to “the Agreement” or “this Agreement” are to this Trust Agreement. All references herein to Articles, Sections and subsections are to Articles, Sections and subsections of this Agreement unless otherwise specified.
The rules of construction set forth in Part II of Appendix A to the Servicing Agreement shall be applicable to this Agreement. 

ARTICLE II 
 ORGANIZATION

 Section 2.1 Name. The Trust continued hereby shall be known as Ally Auto Receivables Trust 2017-5, in which name the
Owner Trustee may conduct the business of the Trust, make and execute contracts and other instruments on behalf of the Trust and sue and be sued on behalf of the Trust. The Owner Trustee has filed the Certificate of Trust on behalf of the Trust
pursuant to Section 3810(a) of the Statutory Trust Act. 
 Section 2.2 Office. The office of the Trust shall be in care of
the Owner Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office or at such other address in Delaware as the Owner Trustee may designate by written notice to the Certificateholders and the Depositor. 

Section 2.3 Purposes and Powers. The purpose of the Trust is, and the Trust shall have the power and authority, to engage in the
following activities: 
 (a) to acquire, manage and hold the Receivables; 

(b) to issue the Notes pursuant to the Indenture and the Certificates pursuant to this Agreement, and to sell, transfer or exchange the Notes
and the Certificates; 







 (c) to acquire certain property and assets from the Depositor on the Closing Date pursuant to the
Trust Sale Agreement and any other Further Transfer Agreements, to make payments to the Noteholders and the Certificateholders, to make deposits into and withdrawals from the Reserve Account and to pay the organizational, start-up and transactional
expenses of the Trust; 
 (d) to assign, grant, transfer, pledge, mortgage and convey the Owner Trust Estate pursuant to the terms of the
Indenture and to hold, manage and distribute to the Certificateholders pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement any portion of the Trust Estate released from the lien of, and remitted to the Trust pursuant to, the
Indenture; 
 (e) to enter into and perform its obligations and exercise its rights under the Basic Documents to which it is to be a party;

 (f) to engage in those activities, including entering into agreements, that are necessary, suitable or convenient to accomplish the
foregoing or are incidental thereto or connected therewith; and 
 (g) subject to compliance with the Basic Documents, to engage in such
other activities as may be required in connection with conservation of the Owner Trust Estate and the making of distributions to the Securityholders. 

The Trust shall not engage in any activity other than in connection with the foregoing or other than as required or authorized by the terms of
this Agreement or the other Basic Documents. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in any other document, neither the Trust nor the Owner Trustee (nor any agent of either person) shall be authorized or empowered to acquire
any other investments, reinvest any proceeds of the Trust or engage in activities other than the foregoing, and, in particular neither the Trust nor the Owner Trustee (nor any agent of either person) shall be authorized or empowered to do anything
that would cause the Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust for United States federal income tax purposes. 
 Section 2.4
Appointment of Owner Trustee. The Depositor hereby appoints the Owner Trustee as trustee of the Trust to have all the rights, powers and duties set forth herein. 

Section 2.5 Initial Capital Contribution of Owner Trust Estate. The Depositor sold, assigned, transferred, conveyed and set over
to the Owner Trustee, as of November 1, 2017, the sum of one dollar. The Owner Trustee hereby acknowledges receipt in trust from the Depositor, as of November 1, 2017, of the foregoing contribution which constituted the initial Owner Trust
Estate. The Depositor shall pay organizational expenses of the Trust as they may arise or shall, upon the request of the Owner Trustee, promptly reimburse the Owner Trustee for any such expenses paid by the Owner Trustee. 

Section 2.6 Declaration of Trust. The Owner Trustee hereby declares that it shall hold the Owner Trust Estate (in the name of the
Trust and not in the Owner Trustee’s name for the Trust, except as required by, and in accordance with, Section 2.8) in trust upon and subject to the conditions set forth herein for the use and benefit of the Certificateholders,
subject to the 

  
 2 








 
obligations of the Trust under the Basic Documents. It is the intention of the parties hereto that the Trust constitute a statutory trust under the Statutory Trust Act, that this Agreement
constitute the governing instrument of such statutory trust and that the Certificates represent the beneficial interests therein. The rights of the Certificateholders shall be determined as set forth herein and in the Statutory Trust Act and the
relationship between the parties hereto created by this Agreement shall not constitute indebtedness for any purpose. Effective as of the date hereof, the Owner Trustee shall have all rights, powers and duties set forth herein and in the Statutory
Trust Act with respect to accomplishing the purposes of the Trust. 
 Section 2.7 Liability of the Certificateholders.
Certificateholders and holders of beneficial interests therein shall be entitled to the same limitation of personal liability extended to stockholders of private corporations for profit organized under the General Corporation Law of the State of
Delaware. 
 Section 2.8 Title to Trust Property. Legal title to all the Owner Trust Estate shall be vested at all times in the
Trust as a separate legal entity except where applicable law in any jurisdiction requires title to any part of the Owner Trust Estate to be vested in a trustee or trustees, in which case title shall be deemed to be transferred to and vested in the
Owner Trustee, a co-trustee or a separate trustee, as the case may be. Any such trustee shall take such part of the Owner Trust Estate subject to the security interest of the Indenture Trustee therein established under the Indenture. Such
trustee’s acceptance of its appointment shall constitute acknowledgment of such security interest and shall constitute a Grant to the Indenture Trustee of a security interest in all property held by such trustee. Any such trustee shall prepare
and file all such financing statements naming such trustee as debtor that are necessary or advisable to perfect, make effective or continue the lien and security interest of the Indenture Trustee. 

Section 2.9 Situs of Trust. The Trust shall be located and administered in the States of Delaware or New York. All bank accounts
maintained by the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall be located in the State of Delaware or the State of New York. The Trust shall not have any employees in any State other than the State of Delaware; provided, however, that
nothing herein shall restrict or prohibit the Owner Trustee from having employees within or without the State of Delaware. Payments shall be received by the Trust only in the State of Delaware or the State of New York, and payments shall be made by
the Trust only from the State of Delaware or the State of New York. The only office of the Trust shall be the Corporate Trust Office of the Owner Trustee in the State of Delaware. 

Section 2.10 Representations and Warranties of the Depositor. The Depositor hereby represents and warrants to the Owner Trustee
that: 
 (a) The Depositor has been duly formed and is validly existing as an entity in good standing under the laws of the State of
Delaware, with power and authority to own its properties and to conduct its business as such properties are presently owned and such business is presently conducted and had at all relevant times, and now has, power, authority and legal right to
acquire and own the Receivables contemplated to be transferred to the Trust pursuant to the Trust Sale Agreement. 

  
 3 








 (b) The Depositor is duly qualified to do business as a foreign entity in good standing, and has
obtained all necessary licenses and approvals, in all jurisdictions in which the ownership or lease of property or the conduct of its business requires such qualifications. 

(c) The Depositor has the power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and any other Basic Documents to which the Depositor is a
party and to carry out its terms, the Depositor has full power and authority to sell and assign the property to be sold and assigned to and deposited with the Trust as part of the Owner Trust Estate and the Depositor has duly authorized such sale
and assignment to the Trust by all necessary limited liability company action; and the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement have been duly authorized by the Depositor by all necessary limited liability company action. 

(d) The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any other Basic Documents to which the Depositor is a party, and
the fulfillment of the terms of this Agreement and any other Basic Documents to which the Depositor is a party do not conflict with, result in any breach of any of the terms and provisions of or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time) a
default under, the certificate of formation or limited liability company agreement of the Depositor, or any indenture, agreement or other instrument to which the Depositor is a party or by which it is bound, or result in the creation or imposition
of any Lien upon any of its properties pursuant to the terms of any such indenture, agreement or other instrument (other than pursuant to the Basic Documents), or violate any law or, to the best of the Depositor’s knowledge, any order, rule or
regulation applicable to the Depositor of any court or of any federal or State regulatory body, administrative agency or other governmental instrumentality having jurisdiction over the Depositor or any of its properties. 

Section 2.11 Tax Treatment. The Depositor and Owner Trustee, by entering into this Agreement, express their intention that the
Trust will be treated, for United States federal income tax purposes, as a grantor trust and it is neither the purpose nor the intent of the parties hereto to create a partnership, joint venture or association taxable as a corporation. If the
Depositor is not the sole owner or beneficial owner of the Certificates, through sale of the Certificates, issuance by the Trust of additional Certificates to a Person other than the Depositor or otherwise, the Depositor and the Owner Trustee, by
entering into this Agreement, and the Certificateholders, by acquiring any Certificates or interest therein, (i) express their intention that the Certificates will, for United States federal income tax purposes, qualify as interests in a
grantor trust and (ii) unless otherwise required by the appropriate taxing authorities, agree to treat the Certificates as interests in an entity as described in clause (i) of this Section 2.11 for United States federal income
tax purposes. The parties agree that, unless otherwise required by appropriate tax authorities, the Trust shall file or cause to be filed annual or other necessary returns, reports and other forms consistent with such characterization of the Trust
for such tax purposes. In furtherance of the foregoing, (i) the purpose of the Trust shall be to protect and conserve the assets of the Trust, and the Trust shall not at any time engage in or carry on any kind of business or any kind of
commercial or investment activity other than as expressly permitted by this Trust Agreement and (ii) the Trust and Owner Trustee (and any agent of either person) shall take, or refrain from taking, all such action as is necessary to maintain
the status of the Trust as a grantor trust. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Trust Agreement or otherwise, neither the Trust nor the Owner Trustee (nor any agent of either person) shall (1) acquire any assets or dispose of any
portion of the Trust other than pursuant to the specific provisions of this Trust 

  
 4 








 
Agreement, (2) vary the investment of the Trust within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 301.7701-4(c) or (3) substitute new investments or reinvest so as to enable the
Trust to take advantage of variations in the market to improve the investment of any Certificateholder. The Owner Trustee shall not have any authority to manage, control, use, sell, dispose of or otherwise deal with any part of the Trust property
except as required by the express terms of this Trust Agreement in accordance with the powers granted to or the authority conferred upon the Owner Trustee pursuant to this Agreement. 

ARTICLE III 
 THE
CERTIFICATES 
 Section 3.1 Initial Certificate Ownership. Since the formation of the Trust by the contribution by the
Depositor pursuant to Section 2.5, the Depositor has been the sole beneficial owner of the Trust. 
 Section 3.2 The
Certificates. 
 (a) Each of the Certificates, upon original issuance, shall be issued in the form of Exhibit A hereto,
representing Definitive Certificates. 
 (b) At the election of the Certificateholder, the Definitive Certificates issued pursuant to
Section 3.2(a) may be exchanged for Book-Entry Certificates, to be delivered to the Owner Trustee, as agent for the Clearing Agency, by, or on behalf of, the Trust. The Book-Entry Certificates shall be issued in an aggregate nominal
principal amount of the exchanged Definitive Certificates, and all beneficial interests in the Book-Entry Certificates shall be owned, in the minimum principal amount of $1,100 and integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof. The Trust shall not
issue any Certificate that would cause the aggregate nominal principal amount of all Certificates to exceed $100,000, or 100,000 units, without the prior written consent of all Certificateholders. No distributions of moneys to the Certificateholders
under the Basic Documents shall be deemed to reduce the nominal principal amount of any Certificate prior to payment in full of all Notes; provided, however, that the final aggregate $100,000 distributed to the
Certificateholders under the Basic Documents upon final distribution of the Trust Estate and termination of the Trust pursuant to Section 7.1 shall be deemed to repay the aggregate nominal principal amount of the Certificates in full;
and provided, further, that any failure to pay in full the nominal principal amount of a Certificate on such final distribution date shall not result in any recourse to, claim against or liability of any Person for such
shortfall. Any amounts payable to the Certificateholders on or in respect of the Certificates under the Basic Documents shall be paid and allocated to the various Certificateholders ratably based on their respective Percentage Interests. Such
Book-Entry Certificates shall initially be registered on the Certificate Register in the name of the Certificate Depository (initially, Cede & Co.), and no Certificate Owner shall receive a Definitive Certificate representing such
Certificate Owner’s interest in such Book-Entry Certificate, except as provided in Section 3.12. After such time as Book-Entry Certificates have been issued and unless and until Definitive Certificates have been issued to the
applicable Certificateholders pursuant to Section 3.12 in exchange for the Book-Entry Certificates: 
 (i) the provisions of
this Section shall be in full force and effect; 

  
 5 








 (ii) the Certificate Registrar, the Paying Agent and the Owner Trustee shall be entitled to deal
with the Clearing Agency for all purposes of this Agreement (including the payment of amounts payable under the Basic Documents and the giving of instructions or directions hereunder) as the sole Certificateholders of the Certificates other than the
Definitive Certificates, and shall have no obligation to the Certificate Owners other than the Certificateholders of the Definitive Certificates; 

(iii) to the extent that the provisions of this Section conflict with any other provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Section
shall control; 
 (iv) the rights of Certificate Owners (other than the Certificateholders of the Definitive Certificates) shall be
exercised only through the Clearing Agency and shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between or among such Certificate Owners and the Clearing Agency or the Clearing Agency Participants or Persons acting through Clearing Agency
Participants. Pursuant to the Certificate Depository Agreement, unless and until Definitive Certificates are issued pursuant to Section 3.12, the initial Clearing Agency shall make book-entry transfers among the Clearing Agency
Participants and receive and transmit payments due under the Basic Documents with regard to the Book-Entry Certificates to such Clearing Agency Participants; 

(v) whenever this Agreement requires or permits actions to be taken based upon instructions or directions of Certificateholders evidencing a
specified Percentage Interest, the Clearing Agency shall deliver instructions to the Owner Trustee only to the extent that it has received instructions to such effect from Certificate Owners or Clearing Agency Participants or Persons acting through
Clearing Agency Participants owning or representing, respectively, such required percentage of the beneficial interest in the Book-Entry Certificates; 

(vi) owners of a beneficial interest in a Book-Entry Certificate shall not be entitled to have any portion of a Book-Entry Certificate
registered in their names and shall not be considered to be the Certificateholders of any Book-Entry Certificates under this Trust Agreement; and 

(vii) payments on a Book-Entry Certificate shall be made to the Clearing Agency, or its nominee, as the registered owner thereof, and none of
the Trust, the Owner Trustee or the Paying Agent shall have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests in a Book-Entry Certificate or for maintaining,
supervising or reviewing any records relating to the beneficial ownership interests. 
 (c) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary
herein, so long as a Book-Entry Certificate remains outstanding and is held by or on behalf of the Clearing Agency, transfers of a Book-Entry Certificate, in whole or in part, shall only be made in accordance with Section 3.4. Subject to
Section 3.4, transfers of a Book-Entry Certificate shall be limited to transfers of such Book-Entry Certificate in whole, but not in part, to a nominee of the Clearing Agency or to a successor of the Clearing Agency or such
successor’s nominee. 

  
 6 








 (d) In the event that a Book-Entry Certificate is exchanged for one or more Definitive
Certificates pursuant to Section 3.12, such Certificates may be exchanged for one another only in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and with such procedures as may be from time to time adopted by the Trust and the Owner
Trustee. 
 (e) The Certificates shall represent the entire beneficial interest in the Trust. The Certificates shall be executed on behalf of
the Trust by manual or facsimile signature of a Responsible Officer of the Owner Trustee. Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were, at the time when such signatures shall have been affixed, authorized to sign
on behalf of the Trust, shall be duly issued, fully paid and non-assessable beneficial interests in the Trust, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them shall have ceased to be so authorized prior to the authentication and delivery of
such Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of authentication and delivery of such Certificates. 
 (f) The Certificates 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 Certificates, as evidenced by their execution of such
Certificates. The Certificates shall be issued in fully-registered form in the minimum denomination of a 1.10% Percentage Interest. 
 (g)
The terms of the Certificates set forth in Exhibit A shall form part of this Agreement. Certificate Owners, by their acceptance of a beneficial interest in a Certificate, shall be deemed to have made the representations and agreements set
forth in Exhibit A. Each transferee of a beneficial interest in a Certificate shall deliver an undertaking letter in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C to the Owner Trustee and the Depositor. 

Section 3.3 Execution, Authentication and Delivery. Concurrently with the sale of the Receivables to the Trust pursuant to the
Trust Sale Agreement, the Owner Trustee shall cause Certificates representing the 100% beneficial interest in the Trust to be executed on behalf of the Trust, authenticated and delivered upon the written order of the Depositor, signed by its
chairman of the board, its president or any vice president, without further limited liability company action by the Depositor. Such Certificates shall be issued to and held by the Depositor or an Affiliate of the Depositor, as the initial
Certificateholders. No Certificate shall entitle its holder to any benefit under this Agreement, or shall be valid for any purpose, unless there shall appear on such Certificate a certificate of authentication substantially in the form set forth in
Exhibit A, executed by the Owner Trustee or the Owner Trustee’s authenticating agent, by manual signature. Such authentication shall constitute conclusive evidence that such Certificate shall have been duly authenticated and delivered
hereunder. All Certificates shall be dated the date of their authentication. 

  
 7 








 Section 3.4 Registration of Certificates; Registration of Transfer and Exchange of
Certificates. 
 (a) The Certificate Registrar, as an agent of the Trust, shall keep or cause to be kept, at the office or agency
maintained pursuant to Section 3.8, a Certificate Register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Owner Trustee shall provide for the registration of Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of
Certificates as provided herein. BNY Mellon Trust of Delaware shall be the initial Certificate Registrar. Upon any resignation of a Certificate Registrar, the Owner Trustee shall promptly appoint a successor or, if it elects not to make such an
appointment, assume the duties of Certificate Registrar. The entries in the Certificate Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Trust and Owner Trustee shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Certificate Register
pursuant to the terms hereof as a Certificateholder hereunder for all purposes of this Trust Agreement. This Section 3.4 shall be construed so that the Certificates under this Trust Agreement are at all times maintained in
“registered form” within the meaning of Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The Certificate Registrar shall record (a) the Percentage Interest in all of the assets of and the right to distributions from
the Trust evidenced by each Certificate and (b) all distributions made to each Certificateholder with respect to the Trust’s assets. 

(b) Any Certificateholder may at any time, without consent of the Noteholders, sell, transfer, convey or assign in any manner its rights to and
interests in the Certificates (including its right to distributions from the Reserve Account), provided that: (A)(i) such transfer, conveyance or assignment is made to the Depositor or such entity pledges its rights and interests in the
Certificates or (B) (i) such action will not result in a reduction or withdrawal of the rating of any class of Notes, (ii) such transferee or assignee agrees to take positions for tax purposes consistent with the tax positions agreed
to be taken by the Certificateholder, (iii) the conditions set forth in Section 3.4(h) and (j) have been satisfied and (iv) in connection with any transfer of less than all of the interests in the Certificates, the
transferor and transferee shall specify the respective interests in the Certificates to be held by the transferor and transferee, which interests may be determined by a formula or on any other basis agreed by the transferor and transferee; and
provided, further, that, after the Closing Date, no Retained Certificate shall be sold, transferred, conveyed or assigned unless counsel satisfactory to the Owner Trustee and the Certificate Registrar has rendered an Opinion of Counsel
to the effect that (1) such sale, transfer, conveyance or assignment by the Depositor would not cause the Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust for United States federal income tax purposes and (2) all Retained Notes (excluding for
this purpose Retained Notes to the extent such Retained Notes are not treated as outstanding for federal income tax purposes) will be characterized as indebtedness for United States federal income tax purposes, provided, that the opinion
required by clauses (1) and (2) shall not be required if (A) the Depositor sells, transfers, conveys or assigns such Retained Certificate to (y) an Affiliate of the Depositor treated as the Depositor for federal income tax

Counsel to the effect that all Retained Notes (excluding for this purpose Retained Notes to the extent such

Retained Notes are not treated as outstanding for federal income tax purposes) will be characterized as indebtedness for United States federal income tax purposes. In addition, (i) such
sale, pledge or other transfer shall be made to a person whom the transferor reasonably believes is a “qualified institutional buyer” (as defined in Rule 144A), acting for its own account (and not for the account of others) or as a
fiduciary or agent for others (which others also are “qualified institutional buyers”) to whom notice is given that the sale, pledge or other transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A, (ii) such sale, pledge or other transfer
shall occur outside of the United States to a Non-U.S. Person in accordance with Rule 903 or Rule 904 of Regulation S of the Securities Act and that person delivers any necessary certifications pursuant to this Agreement, or (iii) such sale,
pledge or other transfer shall otherwise be made in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, in which case, (A) the Owner Trustee shall require that both the prospective transferor and the prospective
transferee certify to the Owner Trustee and the Depositor in writing the facts surrounding such transfer, which certification shall be in form and substance satisfactory to the Owner Trustee and the Depositor, and (B) the Owner Trustee shall
require a written opinion of counsel (which shall not be at the expense of the Depositor, the Administrator, the Servicer, the Trust or the Owner Trustee), satisfactory to the Depositor and the Owner Trustee to the effect that such transfer will not
violate the Securities Act. 
 (c) The Owner Trustee may conclusively rely upon advice of the Depositor in reviewing the form and substance
of the certifications and opinions required by Section 3.4(b)(B)(iii). 
 (d) In the event that the Depositor is no longer the sole
Certificateholder, the Administrator will promptly prepare amendments (subject to the provisions regarding amendments in the applicable Basic Documents) to the Basic Documents to the extent necessary to reflect the establishment of the Certificate
Distribution Account and the making of distributions to the Certificateholders and such other matters as shall be agreed between the Depositor and the Owner Trustee. The expense of the foregoing amendments shall be paid by the Administrator. 

(e) Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 3.8, the
Owner Trustee shall execute on behalf of the Trust, authenticate and deliver (or shall cause its authenticating agent to authenticate and deliver), in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates of a like
aggregate Percentage Interest in the Trust dated the date of authentication by the Owner Trustee or any authenticating agent. 
 (f) At the
option of a Holder, Certificates may be exchanged for other Certificates of a like aggregate Percentage Interest in the Trust, as shown on the applicable Certificates, upon surrender of the Certificates to be exchanged at the office or agency
maintained pursuant to Section 3.8. Whenever any Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the Owner Trustee shall execute on behalf of the Trust, authenticate and deliver (or shall cause its authenticating agent to authenticate and
deliver) one or more Certificates dated the date of authentication by the Owner Trustee or any authenticating agent. Such Certificates shall be delivered to the Holder making the exchange.

 (g) Every Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be
accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Owner Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder or his attorney duly authorized in writing and such other documents and instruments as may be
required by Section 3.4(b). Each Certificate surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be canceled and subsequently destroyed or otherwise disposed of by the Owner Trustee or Certificate Registrar in accordance with its
customary practice. 
 (h) The Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or
governmental charge that may be imposed and any other expenses of the Owner Trustee in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates. 

(i) The Certificates may not be acquired by or for the account of a Benefit Plan other than an “insurance company general account,”
as defined in Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption 95-60, whose underlying assets include less than 25% plan assets, who is not and is not an affiliate of a person that has discretionary authority or control with respect to the assets of the Trust
or provides investment advice for a fee (direct or indirect) with respect to the assets of the Trust, and for which the purchase and holding of Certificates is eligible and satisfies all conditions for relief under Prohibited Transaction Class
Exemption 95-60. The Certificates also may not be acquired by or for the account of an employee benefit plan or plan that is not subject to the provisions of Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (including non-U.S. or governmental
plans) if such acquisition would result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under, or a violation of, any applicable law that is substantially similar to Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code. 

(j) Each Certificateholder that is a United States person (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall deliver to the Owner
Trustee, Paying Agent, and the Administrator on or prior to the date such person becomes a Certificateholder under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Owner Trustee, Paying Agent, or the
Administrator), executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 certifying that such Certificateholder is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax. Each Certificateholder that is not a United States person (as defined in
Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall deliver to the Owner Trustee, Paying Agent, and the Administrator on or prior to the date such person becomes a Certificateholder under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable
request of the Owner Trustee, Paying Agent, or the Administrator), executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E or W-8ECI, and to the extent such Certificateholder is not the beneficial owner of the Certificate, Internal
Revenue Service Form W-8IMY accompanied by Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, W-8BEN-E or W-8BEN. In the case of a Certificateholder that is not a United States person (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) and provides an Internal
Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable (or Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY accompanied with a Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable) under this Section 3.4(j) in order to claim the benefits
of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code (instead of, for example, claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party), such Certificateholder (or in the case of a
Certificateholder providing such Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY, the beneficial owner of the Certificate) hereby represents and warrants that it is not a (i) “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code,
(ii) “10 percent shareholder” of the Trust within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code or (iii) “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code.

 (k) Each Certificateholder or beneficial owner of a Certificate that would be subject to U.S.
federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such person were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), shall deliver to the Owner
Trustee, Paying Agent, Administrator or any person designated by any of the foregoing (individually or collectively as the context may require, the “FATCA Administrator”) at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or
times reasonably requested by the FATCA Administrator such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the FATCA
Administrator to comply with FATCA and to determine that such Certificateholder or beneficial owner of a Certificate has complied with such person’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment to
such person. 
 (l) No transfer of a Certificate shall be permitted if such transfer is effected through an established securities market or
secondary market (or the substantial equivalent thereof) within the meaning of Section 7704 of the Code and any regulation thereunder. 

(m) Each transferee of a Certificate understands that the Certificates are being offered only in a transaction not involving any public
offering in the United States within the meaning of the Securities Act, none of the Certificates have been or will be registered under the Securities Act, and, if in the future the transferee decides to offer, resell, pledge or otherwise transfer
the Certificates, such Certificates may only be offered, resold, pledged or otherwise transferred in accordance with this Agreement and the applicable legend on such Certificates set forth below. 

(n) Each transferee of a Certificate understands that an investment in the Certificates involves certain risks, including the risk of loss of
all or a substantial part of its investment under certain circumstances. Each transferee acknowledges that it has had access to such financial and other information concerning the Trust and the Certificates as it deemed necessary or appropriate in
order to make an informed investment decision with respect to its purchase of the Certificates. Each transferee acknowledges that it has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that the transferee is capable of evaluating the
merits and risks of its investment in the Certificates, 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. 

(o) No transferee of a Certificate will offer, transfer, pledge, sell or otherwise dispose of the Certificates or any interest in the
Certificates to any Person in any manner, or solicit any offer to buy, transfer or otherwise dispose of the Certificates or any interest in the Certificates from any Person in any manner, or make any general solicitation by means of general
advertising or in any other manner, or take any other action that would constitute a distribution of the Certificates under the Securities Act or that would render the disposition of the Certificates a violation of Section 5 of the Securities
Act or any other applicable securities laws or require registration pursuant thereto, and will not authorize any Person to act on its behalf, in such manner with respect to the Certificates. 

  
 11 








 (p) In connection with the transfer of a Certificate, the Trust shall determine in its sole
discretion that the transfer complies with the requirements of Section 3.4(j) through 3.4(l) of this Agreement. 
 (q)
Each transferee of a Certificate shall acknowledge that the Trust, the Owner Trustee, any initial purchaser or placement agent and others will rely upon the truth and accuracy of the acknowledgements, representations, warranties and agreements in
this Section 3.4 and agree that if any of the acknowledgements, representations, warranties or agreements made by it in connection with its purchase of the Certificates are no longer accurate, the transferee will promptly notify the
Trust, the Owner Trustee and any initial purchaser or placement agent. 
 (r) Each Certificateholder and each transferee of a Certificate
acknowledges that the Certificates will bear a legend substantially to the following effect: 
 “THIS CERTIFICATE HAS NOT BEEN AND WILL
NOT BE REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR UNDER THE SECURITIES OR BLUE SKY LAWS OF ANY STATE IN THE UNITED STATES OR ANY FOREIGN SECURITIES LAWS. BY ITS ACCEPTANCE OF
THIS CERTIFICATE (OR INTEREST THEREIN) THE HOLDER OF THIS CERTIFICATE (OR SUCH INTEREST) IF, OTHER THAN THE DEPOSITOR OR ANY AFFILIATE OF THE DEPOSITOR, IS DEEMED TO REPRESENT TO THE DEPOSITOR AND THE OWNER TRUSTEE THAT IT IS EITHER (A) A
“QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER” AS DEFINED IN RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR (B) A NON-U.S. PERSON IN ACCORDANCE WITH RULE 903 OR RULE 904 OF REGULATION S OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IS ACQUIRING THIS CERTIFICATE (OR INTEREST
THEREIN) FOR ITS OWN ACCOUNT (AND NOT FOR THE ACCOUNT OF OTHERS) OR AS A FIDUCIARY OR AGENT FOR OTHERS (WHICH OTHERS ALSO ARE QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYERS OR NON-U.S. PERSONS). 

NO SALE, PLEDGE OR OTHER TRANSFER OF THIS CERTIFICATE (OR INTEREST THEREIN) MAY BE MADE BY ANY PERSON UNLESS EITHER (i) SUCH SALE IS MADE
TO THE DEPOSITOR OR ANY AFFILIATE OF THE DEPOSITOR, (ii) SUCH SALE, PLEDGE OR OTHER TRANSFER IS MADE TO A PERSON WHOM THE TRANSFEROR REASONABLY BELIEVES IS A “QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER” (AS DEFINED IN RULE 144A), ACTING FOR ITS
OWN ACCOUNT (AND NOT FOR THE ACCOUNT OF OTHERS) OR AS A FIDUCIARY OR AGENT FOR OTHERS (WHICH OTHERS ALSO ARE “QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYERS”) TO WHOM NOTICE IS GIVEN THAT THE SALE, PLEDGE OR OTHER TRANSFER IS BEING MADE IN RELIANCE ON
RULE 144A, (iii) SUCH SALE, PLEDGE OR OTHER TRANSFER OCCURS OUTSIDE OF THE 

  
 12 








 
UNITED STATES TO A NON-U.S. PERSON IN ACCORDANCE WITH RULE 903 OR RULE 904 OF REGULATION S OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND THAT PERSON DELIVERS ANY NECESSARY CERTIFICATIONS PURSUANT TO TERMS OF THE
TRUST AGREEMENT, OR (iv) SUCH SALE, PLEDGE OR OTHER TRANSFER IS OTHERWISE MADE IN A TRANSACTION EXEMPT FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT, IN WHICH CASE (A) THE OWNER TRUSTEE SHALL REQUIRE THAT BOTH THE PROSPECTIVE
TRANSFEROR AND THE PROSPECTIVE TRANSFEREE CERTIFY TO THE OWNER TRUSTEE AND THE DEPOSITOR IN WRITING THE FACTS SURROUNDING SUCH TRANSFER, WHICH CERTIFICATION SHALL BE IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE SATISFACTORY TO THE OWNER TRUSTEE AND THE DEPOSITOR, AND
(B) THE OWNER TRUSTEE SHALL REQUIRE A WRITTEN OPINION OF COUNSEL (WHICH SHALL NOT BE AT THE EXPENSE OF THE DEPOSITOR, THE ADMINISTRATOR, THE SERVICER, THE TRUST OR THE OWNER TRUSTEE) SATISFACTORY TO THE DEPOSITOR AND THE OWNER TRUSTEE TO THE
EFFECT THAT SUCH TRANSFER WILL NOT VIOLATE THE SECURITIES ACT.” 
 (s) Each transferee of a Definitive Certificate shall deliver an
undertaking letter in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C to the Owner Trustee and the Depositor. 
 Section 3.5 Mutilated,
Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates. 
 (a) If (i) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Certificate Registrar, or the
Certificate Registrar receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate, and (ii) there is delivered to the Certificate Registrar, the Owner Trustee and the Trust such security or indemnity as may be
required by them to hold each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Certificate Registrar or the Owner Trustee that such Certificate has been acquired by a protected purchaser, the Owner Trustee shall execute on behalf of the Trust
and the Owner Trustee shall authenticate and deliver (or shall cause its authenticating agent to authenticate and deliver), in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a replacement Certificate of a like
aggregate Percentage Interest in the Trust, as shown on the Certificate; provided, however, that if any such destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, but not a mutilated Certificate, shall have become or within seven (7) days shall
be payable, then instead of issuing a replacement Certificate the Owner Trustee may make distributions to such destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate when so payable. 

(b) If, after the delivery of a replacement Certificate or payment in respect of a destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate pursuant to
Section 3.5(a), a protected purchaser of the original Certificate in lieu of which such replacement Certificate was issued presents for payment or distribution such original Certificate, the Owner Trustee shall be entitled to recover
such replacement Certificate (and any distributions or payments made with respect thereto) or such payment or distribution from the Person to whom it was delivered or any Person taking such replacement Certificate from such Person to whom such
replacement Certificate was delivered or any assignee of such Person, except a protected purchaser, 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
Owner Trustee in connection therewith. 

  
 13 








 (c) In connection with the issuance of any replacement Certificate under this
Section 3.5, the Owner Trustee may require the payment by the Holder of such Certificate 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 Owner Trustee and the Certificate Registrar) connected therewith. 
 (d) Any duplicate Certificate
issued pursuant to this Section 3.5 in replacement of any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate shall constitute an original additional beneficial interest in the Trust, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen
Certificate shall be found at any time or be enforced by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Agreement equally and proportionately with any and all other Certificates duly issued hereunder. 

(e) The provisions of this Section 3.5 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 Certificates. 
 Section 3.6 Persons Deemed
Certificateholders. Subject to the provisions of Section 3.4 herein, prior to due presentation of a Certificate for registration of transfer, the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate
shall be registered in the Certificate Register as the Certificateholder of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to Article V and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Owner Trustee nor the
Certificate Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. 
 Section 3.7 Access to List of Certificateholders’
Names and Addresses. The Certificate Registrar shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Servicer and the Depositor, within fifteen (15) days after receipt by the Certificate Registrar of a request therefor from the Servicer or the
Depositor in writing, a list of the names and addresses of the Certificateholders as of the most recent Record Date. Each Holder, by receiving and holding a Certificate, shall be deemed to have agreed not to hold any of the Servicer, the Depositor,
the Certificate Registrar or the Owner Trustee accountable by reason of the disclosure of its name and address, regardless of the source from which such information was derived. 

Section 3.8 Maintenance of Corporate Trust Office. The Owner Trustee shall maintain an office or offices or agency or agencies
where Certificates may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Owner Trustee in respect of the Certificates and the Basic Documents may be served. The Owner Trustee initially designates
its office located at 301 Bellevue Parkway, 3rd Floor, Wilmington, Delaware 19809, as its principal office for such purposes. The Owner Trustee shall give prompt written notice to the Depositor, to the Servicer and to the Certificateholders of any
change in the location of the Certificate Register or any such office or agency. 

  
 14 








 Section 3.9 Appointment of Paying Agent. Except as otherwise provided in
Section 5.2, the Paying Agent shall make distributions to Certificateholders from the Certificate Distribution Account pursuant to Section 5.2 and shall report the amounts of such distributions to the Owner Trustee and the
Servicer; provided, however, that no such reports shall be required so long as the Depositor is the sole Certificateholder. Any Paying Agent shall have the revocable power to withdraw funds from the Certificate Distribution Account for
the purpose of making the distributions referred to above. The Owner Trustee may revoke such power and remove the Paying Agent if the Owner Trustee determines in its sole discretion that the Paying Agent shall have failed to perform its obligations
under this Agreement in any material respect. The Paying Agent shall initially be BNY Mellon Trust of Delaware and any co-paying agent chosen by BNY Mellon Trust of Delaware. BNY Mellon Trust of Delaware shall be permitted to resign as Paying Agent
upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to the Owner Trustee. If BNY Mellon Trust of Delaware shall no longer be the Paying Agent, the Owner Trustee shall appoint a successor to act as Paying Agent (which shall be a bank or trust company).
The Owner Trustee shall cause such successor Paying Agent or any additional Paying Agent appointed by the Owner Trustee to execute and deliver to the Owner Trustee an instrument in which such successor Paying Agent or additional Paying Agent shall
agree with the Owner Trustee that as Paying Agent, such successor Paying Agent or additional Paying Agent shall hold all sums, if any, held by it for payment to the Certificateholders in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders entitled
thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Certificateholders. The Paying Agent shall return all unclaimed funds to the Owner Trustee and upon removal of a Paying Agent such Paying Agent shall also return all funds in its possession to the Owner
Trustee. The provisions of Sections 6.3, 6.6, 6.7 and 6.9 shall apply to the Owner Trustee also in its role as Paying Agent or Certificate Registrar for so long as the Owner Trustee shall act as Paying Agent or
Certificate Registrar and, to the extent applicable, to any other paying agent, certificate registrar or authenticating agent appointed hereunder. Any reference in this Agreement to the Paying Agent shall include any co-paying agent unless the
context requires otherwise. 
 Section 3.10 Depositor as Certificateholder. The Depositor in its individual or any other
capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Certificates and may otherwise deal with the Owner Trustee or its Affiliates as if it were not the Depositor. 

Section 3.11 Rule 144A Information. The Depositor shall, during any period in which a purchaser of the Certificates holds such
Certificate and in which the Depositor is not subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, make available, upon request, to any holder of such Certificates in connection with any sale thereof and any prospective purchaser of Certificates
from such holder, the information specified in Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Act. 
 Section 3.12 Definitive Certificates. If
(i) the Administrator advises the Owner Trustee in writing that the Clearing Agency is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities with respect to the Book-Entry Certificates and the Trust is unable to locate a
qualified successor; (ii) the Administrator, at its option, advises the Owner Trustee in writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry system through the Clearing Agency; or (iii) Certificate Owners representing beneficial interests
aggregating at least a majority of the Percentage Interests in the Trust advise the Clearing Agency in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system through the Clearing Agency is no longer in the best interests of the Certificate Owners,
then the Clearing Agency shall notify all Certificate Owners and the Owner Trustee of the 

  
 15 








 
occurrence of any such event and of the availability of Definitive Certificates to Certificate Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Owner Trustee of the typewritten Certificate or
Certificates representing the Book-Entry Certificate by the Clearing Agency, accompanied by registration instructions, the Trust shall execute and the Owner Trustee shall authenticate the Definitive Certificates in accordance with the instructions
of the Clearing Agency. None of the Trust, the Certificate Registrar or the Owner 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 Certificates, the Owner Trustee shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders. 

Section 3.13 Notices to Clearing Agency. Whenever a notice or other communication to the Certificateholders is required under this
Agreement, unless and until Definitive Certificates shall have been issued to the owner of a Certificate pursuant to Section 3.12, the Owner Trustee shall give all such notices and communications specified herein to be given to the
Certificateholders to the Clearing Agency, and shall have no obligation to the beneficial owner of a Certificate. 
 Section 3.14
Restrictions on Note Acquisitions. Neither a member of any “expanded group” (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.385-1(c)(4)) that includes the Trust or a Certificate Owner nor a “controlled partnership” (as
defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.385-1(c)(1)) of such expanded group shall acquire any Notes from the Trust, any Affiliate, or through the marketplace prior to obtaining an Opinion of Counsel stating that (i) the acquisition or
reacquisition of such Note will not cause the Trust, initially upon such acquisition or subsequent to the acquisition, to be classified as an association or publicly traded partnership treated as a corporation for federal income tax purposes and
will not cause the Note to be recharacterized as stock pursuant to Treasury Regulations under section 385 of the Code or otherwise cause the Trust not to be classified as a grantor trust. The preceding sentence shall not apply to (i) any U.S.
corporate member of the same U.S. corporate affiliated group (as defined in Section 1504 of the Code) filing a consolidated federal income tax return that includes the Trust or every applicable Certificate Owner (the “Trust Consolidated
Group”) or (ii) a partnership all of the partners of which are either such U.S. corporate members of the Trust Consolidated Group as described in clause (A) or partnerships all of the partners of which are such U.S. corporate
members of the Trust Consolidated Group as described in clause (A). No member of any “expanded group” that includes the Trust or Certificate Owner (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.385-1(b)(3)) or “controlled
partnership” of such expanded group (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.385-1(c)(4)) shall transfer any Notes outside the expanded group prior to obtaining an Opinion of Counsel stating that the transfer of such Note will not
cause the Trust to be classified as an association or publicly traded partnership treated as a corporation for federal income tax purposes and will not cause the Note to be recharacterized as stock pursuant to Treasury Regulations under section 385
of the Code or otherwise cause the Trust not to be classified as a grantor trust.

 Section 5.2 Application of Trust Funds. 

(a) On each Distribution Date, the Owner Trustee or the Paying Agent shall distribute to the Certificateholders, on a pro rata basis, amounts
equal to the amounts deposited in the Certificate Distribution Account pursuant to Section 4.06 and Section 4.07 of the Servicing Agreement on or prior to such Distribution Date. Funds received by the Owner Trustee or the Paying Agent by
1:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on any Distribution Date will be distributed to the Certificateholders on such Distribution Date. Each of the Owner Trustee and the Paying Agent shall use its best efforts to distribute any funds received after 1:00 p.m.
(Eastern time) on any Distribution Date to the Certificateholders as soon as reasonably possible, but neither the Owner Trustee nor the Paying Agent shall be liable if such funds are not distributed until the next Business Day. Any funds received by
the Owner Trustee or the Paying Agent after 1:00 p.m. (Eastern time) shall be held uninvested in the Certificate Distribution Account until distributed to the Certificateholders, and neither the Owner Trustee nor the Paying Agent shall be liable for
any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else to the contrary in this Agreement or the other Basic Documents, if and for so long as Certificates representing in the aggregate a 100% beneficial interest in the Trust are held by
the Depositor, (i) no Certificate Distribution Account shall be required to be established or maintained and (ii) all distributions and payments on the Certificates (including the final distribution as contemplated by
Section 7.1(c) hereof) required hereunder or under the Servicing Agreement shall be made directly to the Depositor by the Indenture Trustee (whether or not the Servicing Agreement otherwise contemplates deposit into the Certificate
Distribution Account) and the Owner Trustee shall have no duty or liability to see to such distribution. 
 (b) On each Distribution Date,
the Owner Trustee shall send to each Certificateholder the statement provided to the Owner Trustee by the Servicer pursuant to Section 4.09 of the Servicing Agreement on such Distribution Date; provided that no such statement shall be
required to be sent by the Owner Trustee if and for so long as the Depositor is the sole Certificateholder. 
 (c) If any withholding tax is
imposed on the Trust’s payment (or allocations of income) to a Certificateholder, such tax shall reduce the amount otherwise distributable to the Certificateholder in accordance with this Section 5.2; provided that the Owner
Trustee or the Paying Agent shall not have an obligation to withhold any such amount if and for so long as the Depositor is the sole Certificateholder. The Owner Trustee or the Paying Agent is hereby authorized and directed to retain from amounts
otherwise distributable to the Certificateholders sufficient funds for the payment of any tax that is legally payable by the Trust (but such authorization shall not prevent the Owner Trustee or the Paying Agent from contesting any such tax in
appropriate proceedings and withholding payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings). The amount of any withholding tax imposed with respect to a Certificateholder shall be treated as cash distributed to such
Certificateholder at the time it is withheld by the Trust and remitted to the appropriate taxing authority. If there is a possibility that withholding tax is payable with respect to a distribution (such as a distribution to a non-U.S.
Certificateholder), the Owner Trustee or the Paying Agent may in its sole discretion withhold such amounts in accordance with this Section 5.2(c). If a Certificateholder wishes to apply for a refund of any such withholding tax, the Owner
Trustee or the Paying Agent shall reasonably cooperate with such Certificateholder in making such claim so long as such Certificateholder agrees to reimburse the Owner Trustee or the Paying Agent for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred. 

  
 19 








 (d) If the Indenture Trustee holds escheated funds for payment to the Trust pursuant to
Section 3.3(e) of the Indenture, the Owner Trustee shall, upon notice from the Indenture Trustee that such funds exist, submit on behalf of the Trust an Issuing Entity Order to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 3.3(e)
of the Indenture instructing the Indenture Trustee to pay such funds to or at the order of the Depositor. 
 Section 5.3 Method of
Payment. Subject to Section 7.1(c), distributions required to be made to Certificateholders on any Distribution Date shall be made to each Certificateholder of record on the related Record Date by wire transfer, in immediately
available funds, to the account of such Holder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder shall have provided to the Certificate Registrar appropriate written instructions at least five
(5) Business Days prior to such Distribution Date or if not, by check mailed to such Certificateholder at the address of such Certificateholder appearing in the Certificate Register; provided, however, that, unless and until
Definitive Certificates have been issued pursuant to Section 3.12, with respect to Book-Entry Certificates registered on the applicable Record Date in the name of the Certificate Depository (initially, Cede & Co.), payment shall
be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account designated by the Certificate Depository. 
 Section 5.4
Accounting and Reports to the Certificateholders, the Internal Revenue Service and Others. The Owner Trustee shall maintain (or cause to be maintained) the books of the Trust on a calendar year basis on the accrual method of accounting,
deliver to each Certificateholder, as may be required by the Code and applicable Treasury Regulations or otherwise, such information as may be required to enable each Certificateholder to prepare its federal income tax return, file such tax returns
relating to the Trust and make such elections as may from time to time be required or appropriate under any applicable State or federal statute or rule or regulation thereunder so as to maintain the Trust’s characterization as an entity
described in Section 2.11 for federal income tax purposes, cause such tax returns to be signed in the manner required by law and collect or cause to be collected any withholding tax as described in and in accordance with
Section 5.2(c) with respect to income or distributions to Certificateholders. The Owner Trustee (or, if the Depositor is the sole Certificateholder, the Administrator) shall annually cause to be sent to each Certificateholder a separate
statement setting forth each such Certificateholder’s share of items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit and will instruct each such Certificateholder to report such items on its federal income tax return. The Owner Trustee (or, if the
Depositor is the sole Certificateholder, the Administrator) shall prepare or cause to be prepared the returns and information required by Treasury Regulations Section 1.671-5, as well as any other applicable provisions of law, to be provided
and filed, as applicable, in the manner prescribed therein. 
 Section 5.5 Signature on Returns; Other Tax Matters. The Owner
Trustee shall sign on behalf of the Trust any and all tax returns of the Trust, unless applicable law requires a Certificateholder to sign such documents, in which case such Certificateholder hereby agrees to sign such document and to cooperate
fully with the reasonable requests of the Owner Trustee with respect thereto.

(c) In the absence of bad faith on its part, the Owner Trustee may conclusively rely upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Owner
Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement in determining the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions contained therein; provided, however, that the Owner Trustee shall have examined such
certificates or opinions so as to determine compliance of the same with the requirements of this Agreement. 
 (d) The Owner Trustee may not

federal income tax purposes. The Certificateholders shall not direct the Owner Trustee to take any action or themselves take any action that would violate the provisions of this Section 6.1. 

  
 21 








 Section 6.2 Rights of Owner Trustee. The Owner Trustee is authorized and directed to

this Agreement. The Owner Trustee also agrees to disburse all monies actually received by it constituting part of the Owner Trust Estate upon the terms of the Basic Documents. The Owner Trustee shall not be liable or accountable hereunder or under
any other Basic Document under any circumstances, except for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct or in the case of the inaccuracy of any representation or warranty contained in
Section 6.6 and expressly made by the Owner Trustee. In particular, but not by way of limitation (and subject to the exceptions set forth in the preceding sentence): 

(a) the Owner Trustee shall at no time have any responsibility or liability for, or with respect to, the legality, validity and enforceability
of any Receivable, or the perfection and priority of any security interest created by any Receivable in any Financed Vehicle or the maintenance of any such perfection and priority, or for, or with respect to, the sufficiency of the Owner Trust
Estate or its ability to generate the payments to be distributed to Certificateholders under this Agreement or to Noteholders under the Indenture, including: the existence, condition and ownership of any Financed Vehicle; the existence and
enforceability of any insurance thereon; the existence and contents of any Receivable on any computer or other record thereof; the validity of the assignment of any Receivable to the Trust or of any intervening assignment; the completeness of any
Receivable; the performance or enforcement of any Receivable; the compliance by the Depositor or the Servicer with any warranty or representation made under any Basic Document or in any related document or the accuracy of any such warranty or
representation or any action of the Administrator, the Indenture Trustee or the Servicer or any sub-servicer taken in the name of the Owner Trustee; 

(b) the Owner Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in accordance with the instructions of
the Administrator or any Certificateholder; 

  
 22 








 (c) no provision of this Agreement or any other Basic Document shall require the Owner Trustee to
expend or risk funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its rights or powers hereunder or under any other Basic Document, if the Owner Trustee shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such
funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured or provided to it; 
 (d) under no circumstances shall
the Owner Trustee be liable for indebtedness evidenced by or arising under any of the Basic Documents, including the principal of and interest on the Notes; 

(e) the Owner Trustee shall not be responsible for or in respect of and makes no representation as to the validity or sufficiency of any
provision of this Agreement other than as explicitly set forth herein or for the due execution hereof by the Depositor or for the form, character, genuineness, sufficiency, value or validity of any of the Owner Trust Estate or for, or in respect of,
the validity or sufficiency of the Notes, the Certificates (other than the certificate of authentication on the Certificates), the other Basic Documents, any Receivables or any related documents, and the Owner Trustee shall in no event assume or
incur any liability, duty or obligation to any Noteholder or to any Certificateholder, other than as expressly provided for herein and in the other Basic Documents; 

(f) the Owner Trustee shall not be liable for the default or misconduct of the Administrator, the Indenture Trustee, the Depositor or the
Servicer under any of the Basic Documents or otherwise and the Owner Trustee shall have no obligation or liability to perform the obligations of the Trust under this Agreement or the Basic Documents that are required to be performed by the
Administrator under the Administration Agreement, the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture or the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement; 

(g) the Owner Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Agreement, or to institute,
conduct or defend any litigation under this Agreement or otherwise or in relation to this Agreement or any other Basic Document, at the request, order or direction of any of the Certificateholders, unless such Certificateholders have offered to the
Owner Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities that may be incurred by the Owner Trustee therein or thereby. The right of the Owner Trustee to perform any discretionary act enumerated in this
Agreement or in any other Basic Document shall not be construed as a duty, and the Owner Trustee shall not be answerable for other than its negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of any such act; 

(h) notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Basic Document, and notwithstanding any Person’s right to
instruct the Owner Trustee, neither the Owner Trustee nor any agent, employee, director or officer of the Owner Trustee shall have any obligation to execute, deliver or certify on behalf of the Trust or any other Person any filings, certificates,
affidavits or other instruments required pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 or the rules and regulations promulgated pursuant thereto, and the refusal to comply with any such instructions shall not constitute a default or breach under any
Basic Document. In the event that the Owner Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, does not execute, deliver or certify any filings, certificates, affidavits or other instruments required under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, an Authorized Officer of the
Administrator shall, on behalf of the Trust, execute, deliver or make such certification; 

  
 23

punitive damages, however styled, including lost profits; 
 (j) the Owner Trustee shall have no responsibility to monitor or cause the Trust
to comply with Regulation RR; and 
 (k) the Owner Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Default or Event of Default unless a
Responsible Officer of the Owner Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a default is received by the Owner Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Owner Trustee, and such notice
references the Certificates or this Trust Agreement. 
 Section 6.4 Action upon Instruction by Certificateholders. 

(a) Subject to Section 4.4, the Certificateholders may by written instruction direct the Owner Trustee in the management of the
Trust. Such direction may be exercised at any time by written instruction of the Certificateholders pursuant to Section 4.5. 

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Owner Trustee shall not be required to take any action hereunder or under any other Basic Document if
the Owner Trustee shall have reasonably determined, or shall have been advised by counsel, that such action is likely to result in liability on the part of the Owner Trustee or is contrary to the terms hereof or of any other Basic Document or is
otherwise contrary to law. 
 (c) Whenever the Owner Trustee is unable to decide between alternative courses of action permitted or required
by the terms of this Agreement or any other Basic Document, or is unsure as to the application, intent, interpretation or meaning of any provision of this Agreement or the other Basic Documents, the Owner Trustee shall promptly give notice (in such
form as shall be appropriate under the circumstances) to the Certificateholders requesting instruction as to the course of action to be adopted, and, to the extent the Owner Trustee acts in good faith in accordance with any such instruction
received, the Owner Trustee shall not be liable on account of such action to any Person. If the Owner Trustee shall not have received appropriate instructions within ten (10) days of such notice (or within such shorter period of time as
reasonably may be specified in such notice or may be necessary under the circumstances) it may, but shall be under no duty to, take or refrain from taking such action which is consistent, in its view, with this Agreement or the other Basic
Documents, and as it shall deem to be in the best interests of the Certificateholders, and the Owner Trustee shall have no liability to any Person for any such action or inaction. 

Section 6.5 Furnishing of Documents. The Owner Trustee shall furnish to the Certificateholders, promptly upon receipt of a written
request therefor, duplicates or copies of all reports, notices, requests, demands, certificates, financial statements and any other instruments furnished to the Owner Trustee under the Basic Documents. 

  
 24 








 Section 6.6 Representations and Warranties of Owner Trustee. The Owner Trustee hereby
represents and warrants to the Depositor, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, that: 
 (a) It is a banking corporation duly organized,
validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of its incorporation. It has satisfied the eligibility requirements set forth in Section 6.13. 

(b) It has full power, authority and legal right to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement, and has taken all necessary action to
authorize the execution, delivery and performance by it of this Agreement. 
 (c) The execution, delivery and performance by it of this
Agreement (i) shall not violate any provision of any law or regulation governing the banking and trust powers of the Owner Trustee or any order, writ, judgment or decree of any court, arbitrator or governmental authority applicable to the Owner
Trustee or any of its assets, (ii) shall not violate any provision of the corporate charter or by-laws of the Owner Trustee or (iii) shall not violate any provision of, or constitute, with or without notice or lapse of time, a default
under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien on any properties included in the Trust pursuant to the provisions of any mortgage, indenture, contract, agreement or other undertaking to which it is a party, which violation, default or
lien could reasonably be expected to have a materially adverse effect on the Owner Trustee’s performance or ability to perform its duties as Owner Trustee under this Agreement or on the transactions contemplated in this Agreement. 

(d) This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Owner Trustee and constitutes the legal, valid and binding agreement of the
Owner Trustee, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights in general and by general
principles of equity, regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law. 
 Section 6.7
Reliance; Advice of Counsel. 
 (a) The Owner Trustee shall incur no liability to anyone in acting upon any signature, instrument,
notice, resolution, request, consent, order, certificate, report, opinion, bond or other document or paper believed by it to be genuine and believed by it to be signed by the proper party or parties and need not investigate any fact or matter in any
such document. The Owner Trustee may accept a certified copy of a resolution of the board of directors or other governing body of any corporate party as conclusive evidence that such resolution has been duly adopted by such body and that the same is
in full force and effect. As to any fact or matter the method of the determination of which is not specifically prescribed herein, the Owner Trustee may for all purposes hereof rely on a certificate, signed by the president or any vice president or
by the treasurer or other authorized officers of the relevant party, as to such fact or matter, and such certificate shall constitute full protection to the Owner Trustee for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in reliance
thereon. 

  
 25 








 (b) In the exercise or administration of the trusts hereunder and in the performance of its
duties and obligations under this Agreement or the other Basic Documents, the Owner Trustee may act directly or through its agents, attorneys, custodians or nominees (including The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. who will perform
administrative duties on behalf of BNY Mellon Trust of Delaware as Owner Trustee) pursuant to agreements entered into with any of them, and the Owner Trustee shall not be liable for the conduct or misconduct of such agents, attorneys, custodians or
nominees if such agents, attorneys, custodians or nominees shall have been selected by the Owner Trustee with reasonable care; and may consult with counsel, accountants and other skilled professionals to be selected with reasonable care and employed
by it. The Owner Trustee shall not be liable for anything done, suffered or omitted in good faith by it in accordance with the opinion or advice of any such counsel, accountants or other such Persons and not contrary to this Agreement or any other
Basic Document. 
 Section 6.8 Owner Trustee May Own Certificates and Notes. BNY Mellon Trust of Delaware or any successor Owner
Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Certificates or Notes and may deal with the Depositor, the Administrator, the Indenture Trustee and the Servicer in transactions in the same manner as it would have
if it were not the Owner Trustee. 
 Section 6.9 Compensation and Indemnity. The Owner Trustee shall receive as compensation for
its services hereunder such fees as have been separately agreed upon before the date hereof between the Servicer and the Owner Trustee, and the Owner Trustee, any paying agent, registrar, authenticating agent or co-trustee shall be entitled to be
reimbursed by the Servicer for its other reasonable expenses hereunder, including the reasonable compensation, expenses and disbursements of such agents, custodians, nominees, representatives, experts and external counsel as the Owner Trustee may
employ in connection with the exercise and performance of its rights and its duties hereunder. The Servicer shall indemnify the Owner Trustee, any paying agent, registrar, authenticating agent or co-trustee and its successors, assigns, agents and
servants in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.01 of the Servicing Agreement. The indemnities contained in this Section 6.9 shall survive the resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee or the termination of this Agreement.
Any amounts paid to the Owner Trustee pursuant to this Article VI shall be deemed not to be a part of the Owner Trust Estate immediately after such payment. 

Section 6.10 Replacement of Owner Trustee. 

(a) The Owner Trustee may give notice of its intent to resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby created by giving notice thereof to the
Administrator provided that no such resignation shall become effective, and the Owner Trustee shall not resign, prior to the time set forth in Section 6.10(c). If no successor Owner Trustee shall have been appointed pursuant to
Section 6.10(b) and have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the giving of such notice, the Owner Trustee giving such notice may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor
Owner Trustee. The Administrator shall remove the Owner Trustee if: 
 (i) the Owner Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with
the provisions of Section 6.13 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Administrator; 

  
 26 








 (ii) the Owner Trustee shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent; 

(iii) a receiver or other public officer shall be appointed or take charge or control of the Owner Trustee or of its property or affairs for
the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation; or 
 (iv) the Owner Trustee shall otherwise be incapable of acting. 

(b) If the Owner Trustee gives notice of its intent to resign or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Owner Trustee for any
reason, the Administrator shall promptly appoint a successor Owner Trustee by written instrument, in duplicate (one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the outgoing Owner Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor Owner Trustee) and
shall pay all fees owed to the outgoing Owner Trustee. 
 (c) Any resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee and appointment of a successor
Owner Trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 6.10 shall not become effective, and no such resignation shall be deemed to have occurred, until a written acceptance of appointment is delivered by the successor Owner
Trustee to the outgoing Owner Trustee and the Administrator and all fees and expenses due to the outgoing Owner Trustee are paid. Costs associated with the resignation of the Owner Trustee and the appointment of a successor Owner Trustee will be
borne by the Servicer. Any successor Owner Trustee appointed pursuant to this Section 6.10 shall be eligible to act in such capacity in accordance with Section 6.13 and, following compliance with the preceding sentence, shall
become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor under this Agreement, with like effect as if originally named as Owner Trustee. The Administrator shall provide notice of such resignation or removal of the
Owner Trustee to each of the Rating Agencies. 
 (d) The predecessor Owner Trustee shall upon payment of its fees and expenses deliver to the
successor Owner Trustee all documents and statements and monies held by it under this Agreement. The Administrator and the predecessor Owner Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required
for fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor Owner Trustee all such rights, powers, duties and obligations. 
 (e) Upon
acceptance of appointment by a successor Owner Trustee pursuant to this Section 6.10, the Administrator shall mail notice of the successor of such Owner Trustee to all Certificateholders, the Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders and the
Rating Agencies. 
 Section 6.11 Merger or Consolidation of Owner Trustee. Any Person into which the Owner Trustee may be merged
or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Owner Trustee shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business
of the Owner Trustee, shall be the successor of the Owner Trustee hereunder, provided such Person shall be eligible pursuant to Section 6.13, and without the execution or filing of any instrument or any further act on the part of
any of the parties hereto; provided, however, that the Owner Trustee shall mail notice of such merger or consolidation to the Depositor, who promptly shall notify the Rating Agencies. 

  
 27 








 Section 6.12 Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee. 

(a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirement of any jurisdiction
in which any part of the Owner Trust Estate or any Financed Vehicle may at the time be located, the Administrator and the Owner Trustee acting jointly shall, at the expense of the Servicer, have the power and shall, at the expense of the Servicer,
execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by the Owner Trustee to act as co-trustee, jointly with the Owner Trustee, or as separate trustee or trustees, of all or any part of the Owner Trust Estate, and to vest in
such Person (in the name of the Trust and not in such Person’s name for the Trust, except to the extent otherwise required by, and in accordance with, Section 2.8), in such capacity, such title to the Trust, or any part thereof,
and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 6.12, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Administrator and the Owner Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If the Administrator shall not have joined in
such appointment within fifteen (15) days after the receipt by it of a request so to do, the Owner Trustee alone shall have the power to make such appointment. No co-trustee or separate trustee under this Agreement shall be required to meet the
terms of eligibility as a successor trustee pursuant to Section 6.13 and no notice of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required pursuant to Section 6.10. 

(b) Each 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 Owner Trustee shall be conferred upon and
exercised or performed by the Owner Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being understood that such separate trustee or co-trustee is not authorized to act separately without the Owner 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 Owner 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 Trust 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 Owner Trustee; 

(ii) no trustee under this Agreement shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee under this Agreement;
and 
 (iii) the Administrator and the Owner Trustee acting jointly may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee
or co-trustee. 
 (c) Any notice, request or other writing given to the Owner Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then
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 Agreement and the conditions of this Article. 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 Owner Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of
this Agreement, specifically including every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Owner Trustee. Each such instrument shall be filed with the Owner Trustee and a copy
thereof given to the Administrator. 

  
 28 








 (d) Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time appoint the Owner Trustee as 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 Agreement 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 Owner Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor trustee. 

Section 6.13 Eligibility Requirements for Owner Trustee. The Owner Trustee shall at all times satisfy the requirement of

powers; (c) have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and be subject to supervision or examination by federal or State authorities; and (d) have (or have a parent which has) a long-term unsecured debt rating of at least
Baa3 by, or such other rating as is acceptable to, Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. and at least BBB- by, or such other rating as is acceptable to, S&P Global Ratings. If such corporation shall publish reports of condition at least annually,
pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purpose of this Section 6.13, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and
surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time the Owner Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.13, the Owner Trustee shall resign immediately in
the manner and with the effect specified in Section 6.10. 
 Section 6.14 Compliance with the FDIC Rule. The Owner
Trustee acknowledges Section 12.1(a) of the Indenture and agrees to (i) perform the covenants set forth in Sections 12.5(b) and (g) and Section 12.6(c) of the Indenture applicable to it and (ii) use reasonable efforts to
comply with any request of the Depositor or the Servicer to facilitate compliance with Article XII of the Indenture by the Ally Parties. 

Section 6.15 Notice of Events of Default. The Owner Trustee shall promptly give notice to each Certificateholder of any default or

(a) The Trust shall dissolve in accordance with Section 3808 of the Statutory Trust Act immediately prior to the final distribution by the
Owner Trustee of all monies or other property or proceeds of the Owner Trust Estate in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, the Servicing Agreement (including the exercise by the Servicer of its option to purchase the Receivables pursuant to
Section 8.01(a) of the Servicing Agreement) and Article V. The 

  
 29 








 
bankruptcy, liquidation, dissolution, death or incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not (x) operate to terminate this Agreement or the Trust, (y) entitle such
Certificateholder’s legal representatives or heirs to claim an accounting or to take any action or proceeding in any court for a partition or winding up of all or any part of the Trust or the Owner Trust Estate or (z) otherwise affect the
rights, obligations and liabilities of the parties hereto. 
 (b) Neither the Depositor nor any Certificateholder shall be entitled to revoke
or terminate the Trust or this Agreement. 
 (c) Subject to Section 5.2(a), notice of any dissolution of the Trust, specifying
the Distribution Date upon which the Certificateholders shall surrender their Certificates to the Paying Agent for payment of the final distribution and cancellation, shall be given by the Owner Trustee by letter to Certificateholders mailed within
five (5) Business Days of receipt of notice of such termination from the Servicer given pursuant to Section 8.01(c) of the Servicing Agreement, stating: (i) the Distribution Date upon or with respect to which final payment of the
Certificates shall be made upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office of the Paying Agent therein designated; (ii) the amount of any such final payment; and (iii) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such
Distribution Date is not applicable, payments being made only upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office of the Paying Agent therein specified. The Owner Trustee shall give such notice to the Certificate Registrar (if other
than the Owner Trustee) and the Paying Agent at the time such notice is given to Certificateholders. Upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates, the Paying Agent shall cause to be distributed to Certificateholders amounts distributable on
such Distribution Date pursuant to Section 5.2. 
 (d) If all of the Certificateholders shall not surrender their Certificates
for cancellation within six (6) months after the date specified in the written notice referred to in Section 7.1(c), the Owner Trustee shall give a second written notice to the remaining Certificateholders to surrender their
Certificates for cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one (1) year after the second notice all the Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Owner Trustee may take appropriate

supplement any provision in this Agreement that may be defective or inconsistent with any other provision in this Agreement or any other Basic Document, (iii) add or supplement any credit enhancement for the benefit of the Noteholders of any
class or the Certificateholders (provided that if any such addition shall affect any class of Noteholders differently from any other class of Noteholders, then such addition shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, adversely affect in any

Certificateholders and Noteholders. This Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Depositor and the Owner Trustee with the consent of Noteholders whose Notes evidence not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling

of any Notes or Certificates issued upon the transfer thereof or in exchange thereof or in lieu thereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon any Notes or Certificates) for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any
manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement, or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Noteholders or the Certificateholders; provided, however, that no such amendment shall (a) without the consent of the

(b) It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders, the Noteholders or the Owner Trustee pursuant to Section 8.2
to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or consent, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. The manner of obtaining such consents (and any other consents of Unaffiliated Certificateholders
provided for in this Agreement or in any other Basic Document) and of evidencing the authorization of the execution thereof by Unaffiliated Certificateholders shall be subject to such reasonable requirements as the Owner Trustee may prescribe.

this [Temporary Regulation S Global] [Permanent Regulation S Global] [Rule 144A Global] Certificate and the terms of the other Basic Documents, the terms of the other Basic Documents shall govern.

the reasonable request of the Owner Trustee, Paying Agent or the Administrator), executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 certifying that such Certificateholder is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

Administrator such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including without limitation as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the FATCA Administrator to comply with
FATCA and to determine that such Certificateholder or beneficial owner of a Certificate has complied with such person’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment to such person; 

(7) does not own, have any interest in or will not acquire any of the Notes or an interest therein unless such purchaser, record owner or
beneficial owner has complied with Section 3.14 of the Trust Agreement; and 
 (8) acknowledges that you and others will rely on
