Order; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Issuer for payment thereof (but only to the extent of the amounts so paid to the Issuer), and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent
with respect to such trust money shall thereupon cease; provided that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, shall at the expense and direction of the Issuer cause to be published once, in an Authorized
Newspaper, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Issuer.

continuing, the Trustee may exercise its remedies set forth in Section 8.02 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. Unless granted or permitted by the Holders of the Notes to the extent provided in Article VIII of the Sale and Servicing Agreement,

Subject to Sections 4.02(b), (p), (q) and (r), the Class C Notes and the Subordinated Notes shall be issued in such names and denominations as may be set forth on an Issuer Order delivered to the Trustee. The Class C
Notes sold to U.S. Persons and the Subordinated Notes will only be delivered in the form of definitive Individual Notes.

Notes shall, on original issue, be executed on behalf of the Issuer by the Owner Trustee, not in its individual capacity but solely as Owner Trustee, authenticated by the Note Registrar and delivered by the Trustee to or upon the order of the
Issuer. 
  

 26 








 Section 4.02. Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Notes. 
 (a) The Trustee shall cause to be kept a Note Register (the “Note Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable
regulations as it may prescribe, the Issuer shall provide for the registration of Notes and the registration of transfers and exchanges of Notes as herein provided. The Trustee shall be “Note Registrar” for the purpose of
registering Notes and transfers of Notes as herein provided. The Note Register shall contain the name, remittance instructions, Class of each Noteholder, as well as the Series and the number in the Series. 
 (b) Each Class of Notes shall be issued in minimum denominations of not less than the Minimum Denomination for such Class, so that on the
Closing Date the sum of the denominations of all outstanding Notes of such Class shall equal the applicable Initial Class A Principal Balance, the Initial Class B Principal Balance, the Initial Class C Principal Balance and the Initial
Subordinated Principal Balance, respectively. On the Closing Date and pursuant to an Issuer Order, the Trustee will execute and authenticate (i) one or more Global Notes and/or (ii) Individual Notes all in an aggregate principal amount
that shall equal the applicable Initial Class A Principal Balance, the applicable Initial Class B Principal Balance, the applicable Initial Class C Principal Balance and the applicable Initial Subordinated Principal Balance. 
 (c) The Global Notes (i) shall be delivered by the Issuer to DTC or, pursuant to DTC’s instructions, shall be delivered by the
Issuer on behalf of DTC to and deposited with the DTC Custodian, and in each case shall be registered in the name of Cede & Co. and (ii) with respect to the Rule 144A Global Notes, shall bear a legend substantially to the following
effect: 
 “Unless this Note is presented by an authorized representative of The Depository Trust Company, a New York
corporation (“DTC”), to the Note Registrar or its agent for registration of transfer, exchange or payment, and any Note issued is registered in the name of Cede & Co. or in such other name as is requested by an authorized
representative of DTC (and any payment is made to Cede & Co. or to such other entity as is requested by an authorized representative of DTC), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL
inasmuch as the registered owner hereof, Cede & Co., has an interest herein.” 
 The Global Notes may be deposited
with such other depository as the Issuer may from time to time designate, and shall bear such legend as may be appropriate; provided that such successor depository maintains a book-entry system that qualifies to be treated as “registered
form” under Section 163(f)(3) of the Code. 
 The Issuer and the Trustee are hereby authorized to execute and deliver
a Letter of Representations with DTC relating to the Notes. 
 (d) With respect to Notes registered in the Note Register in the
name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, the Issuer, the Servicer, the Owner Trustee (as such and in its individual capacity) and the Trustee shall have no responsibility or obligation to Direct or Indirect Participants or Beneficial Owners
for which DTC holds Notes from time to time as a Depository.

  

 27 








 
Without limiting the immediately preceding sentence, the Issuer, the Servicer, the Owner Trustee (as such and in its individual capacity), and the Trustee shall have no responsibility or
obligation with respect to (i) the accuracy of the records of DTC, Cede & Co., or any Direct or Indirect Participant with respect to the ownership interest in the Notes, (ii) the delivery to any Direct or Indirect Participant or
any other Person, other than a registered Holder, of a Note, (iii) the payment to any Direct or Indirect Participant or any other Person, other than a registered Holder of a Note as shown in the Note Register, of any amount with respect to any
distribution of principal or interest on the Notes or (iv) the making of book-entry transfers among Participants of DTC with respect to Notes registered in the Note Register in the name of the nominee of DTC. No Person other than a registered
Holder of a Note as shown in the Note Register shall receive a physical Note evidencing such Note. 
 (e) Upon delivery by DTC
to the Trustee of written notice to the effect that DTC has determined to substitute a new nominee in place of Cede & Co., and subject to the provisions hereof with respect to the payment of distributions by the mailing of checks or drafts
to the registered Holders of Notes appearing as registered Owners in the Note Register on a Record Date, the name “Cede & Co.” in this Indenture shall refer to such new nominee of DTC. 
 (f) In the event that (i) DTC or the Servicer advises the Trustee in writing that DTC is no longer willing or able to discharge
properly its responsibilities as nominee and depository with respect to the Global Notes and the Servicer is unable to locate a qualified successor or (ii) the Servicer at its sole option elects to terminate the book-entry system through DTC,
the Global Notes shall no longer be restricted to being registered in the Note Register in the name of Cede & Co. (or a successor nominee) as nominee of DTC. At that time, the Servicer may determine that the Global Notes shall be registered
in the name of and deposited with a successor depository operating a global book-entry system, as may be acceptable to the Servicer, or such depository’s agent or designee but, if the Servicer does not select such alternative global book-entry
system, then upon surrender to the Note Registrar of the Global Notes by DTC, accompanied by the registration instructions from DTC for registration, the Trustee shall at the Servicer’s expense authenticate Individual Notes. Neither the
Servicer nor the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in DTC’s delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Individual Notes, the Trustee, the Note
Registrar, the Servicer, each Paying Agent and the Issuer shall recognize the Holders of the Individual Notes as Noteholders hereunder. 
 (g) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture to the contrary, so long as any Global Notes are registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, all distributions of principal
and interest on such Global Notes and all notices with respect to such Global Notes shall be made and given, respectively, in the manner provided in the Letter of Representations. 
 (h) Subject to the preceding paragraphs, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note at the office of the Note Registrar and,
upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth below, the Issuer shall execute, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, a new Note or Notes of the same Class and of the same aggregate Percentage Interest and dated the date of
authentication by the Trustee. The Note Registrar shall notify the Issuer, the Servicer and the Trustee of any such transfer. 
  

 28 








 (i) At the option of the Noteholders, Notes may be exchanged for other Notes in authorized
denominations of a like Class, upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at such office. Whenever any Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the Issuer shall execute the Notes which the Noteholder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Every
Note presented or surrendered for transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by wiring instructions, if applicable, in the form of Exhibit C. The preceding provisions of this section notwithstanding, the Issuer shall not be required to make
and the Note Registrar shall not register transfers or exchanges of Notes called for redemption or refinancing. 
 (j) No
service charge shall be made for any transfer or exchange of Notes, but prior to transfer the Note Registrar may require payment by the transferor of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any
transfer or exchange of Notes. 
 All Notes surrendered for payment, transfer and exchange, redemption or refinancing shall be
marked canceled by the Note Registrar and retained for one year and destroyed thereafter. 
 (k) By acceptance of an Individual
Note, whether upon original issuance or subsequent transfer, each Holder of such a Note acknowledges the restrictions on the transfer of such Note set forth in the Securities Legend and agrees that it will transfer such Note only as provided herein.
In addition to the provisions of Sections 4.02(m) and (n), the following restrictions shall apply with respect to the transfer and registration of transfer of an Individual Note to a transferee that takes delivery in the form of an
Individual Note: 
 (i) The Note Registrar shall register the transfer of an Individual Note if the requested
transfer is being made to a transferee who has provided the Note Registrar with a Rule 144A Certification or to a transferee who is an Affiliate of the Originator in a transfer which otherwise complies with Section 4.02(s); or

 (ii) The Note Registrar shall register the transfer of any Individual Note if (x) the transferor has
advised the Note Registrar in writing that the Note is being transferred to a Person that is both an Institutional Accredited Investor and a Qualified Purchaser; (y) prior to the transfer the transferee furnishes to the Note Registrar a
Transferee Letter; and (z) such transfer otherwise complies with Section 4.02(s). 
 (l) Subject to
Section 4.02(n), so long as a Global Note remains outstanding and is held by or on behalf of DTC, transfers of beneficial interests in the Global Note, or transfers by Holders of Individual Notes to transferees that take delivery in the
form of beneficial interests in the Global Note, may be made only in accordance with this Section 4.02(l) and in accordance with the rules of DTC. 
 (i) Rule 144A Global Note to Regulation S Global Note During the Distribution Compliance Period. If, during the
Distribution Compliance Period, a Beneficial Owner of an interest in a Rule 144A Global Note wishes at any time to transfer its beneficial interest in such Rule 144A Global Note to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of a
beneficial interest in a Regulation S Global Note, such Beneficial Owner may, in addition to complying with all applicable rules and

  

 29 








 
procedures of DTC and Clearstream or Euroclear applicable to transfers by their respective participants (the “Applicable Procedures”), transfer or cause the transfer of such
beneficial interest for an equivalent beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note only upon compliance with the provisions of this Section 4.02(l)(i). Upon receipt by the Note Registrar at its Corporate Trust Office of
(1) written instructions given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures from a Depository Participant directing the Note Registrar to credit or cause to be credited to another specified Depository Participant’s account a beneficial

interest in the Rule 144A Global Note to be so transferred and, concurrently with such reduction, to increase the denomination of the Regulation S Global Note by the Note balance of the beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Note to be so
transferred, and to credit or cause to be credited to the account of the Person specified in such instructions (who shall be a Depository Participant acting for or on behalf of Euroclear or Clearstream, or both, as the case may be) a beneficial
interest in the Regulation S Global Note having a Note balance equal to the amount by which the denomination of the Rule 144A Global Note was reduced upon such transfer. 
 (ii) Rule 144A Global Note to Regulation S Global Note After the Distribution Compliance Period. If, after the
Distribution Compliance Period, a Beneficial Owner of an interest in a Rule 144A Global Note wishes at any time to transfer its beneficial interest in such Rule 144A Global Note to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of a
beneficial interest in a Regulation S Global Note, such Holder may, in addition to complying with all Applicable Procedures, transfer or cause the transfer of such beneficial interest for an equivalent beneficial interest in a Regulation S Global
Note only upon compliance with the provisions of this Section 4.02(l)(ii). Upon receipt by the Note Registrar at its Corporate Trust Office of (1) written instructions given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures from a
Depository Participant directing the Note Registrar to credit or cause to be credited to another specified Depository Participant’s account a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note in an amount equal to the Note balance of the

form of Exhibit F hereto given by the Beneficial Owner that is transferring such interest, the Note Registrar shall instruct DTC to reduce denomination balance of the Rule 144A Global Note by the Note balance of the beneficial interest in the
Rule 144A Global Note to be so transferred and, concurrently with such reduction, to increase the denomination of the Regulation S Global Note by the Note balance of the beneficial interest in the Rule 144A

  

 30 








 
Global Note to be so transferred, and to credit or cause to be credited to the account of the Person specified in such instructions (who shall be a Depository Participant acting for or on behalf
of Euroclear or Clearstream, or both, as the case may be) a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note having a Note balance equal to the amount by which the denomination of the Rule 144A Global Note was reduced upon such transfer.

 (iii) Regulation S Global Note to Rule 144A Global Note. If the Beneficial Owner of an interest in a
Regulation S Global Note wishes at any time to transfer its beneficial interest in such Regulation S Global Note to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Note, such Holder may, in
addition to complying with all Applicable Procedures, transfer or cause the transfer of such beneficial interest for an equivalent beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Note only upon compliance with the provisions of this
Section 4.02(l)(iii). Upon receipt by the Note Registrar at its Corporate Trust Office of (1) written instructions given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures from a Depository Participant directing the Note Registrar to
credit or cause to be credited to another specified Depository Participant’s account a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Note in an amount equal to the Note balance of the beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note to be
transferred, (2) a written order given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures containing information regarding the account of the DTC Participant to be credited with, and the account of the DTC Participant (or, if such account is held for
Euroclear or Clearstream, the Euroclear or Clearstream account, as the case may be) to be debited for such beneficial interest, and (3) with respect to a transfer of a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note for a beneficial
interest in the related Rule 144A Global Note (i) during the Distribution Compliance Period, a certificate in the form of Exhibit G hereto given by the Beneficial Owner, or (ii) after the Distribution Compliance Period, a Rule 144A
Certification from the transferee of such interest to the effect that such transferee is a Qualified Institutional Buyer and a Qualified Purchaser, the Note Registrar shall instruct DTC to reduce denomination balance of the Regulation S Global Note
by the Note balance of the beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note to be transferred and, concurrently with such reduction, to increase the denomination of the Rule 144A Global Note by the Note balance of the beneficial interest in the
Regulation S Global Note to be so transferred, and to credit or cause to be credited to the account of the Person specified in such instructions (who shall be a Depository Participant acting for or on behalf of Euroclear or Clearstream, or both, as
the case may be) a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Note having a Note balance equal to the amount by which the denomination of the Regulation S Global Note was reduced upon such transfer. 
 (iv) Transfers Within Regulation S Global Notes During Distribution Compliance Period. If, during the Distribution
Compliance Period, the Beneficial Owner of an interest in a Regulation S Global Note wishes at any time to transfer its beneficial interest in such Regulation S Global Note to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of a Regulation
S Global Note, such Beneficial Owner may transfer or cause the transfer of such beneficial interest for an equivalent beneficial interest in such Regulation S Global Note only upon compliance with the provisions of this
Section 4.02(l)(iv) and all Applicable Procedures. Upon receipt by the Note Registrar at its Corporate Trust Office of (1) written instructions given in

  

 31 








 
accordance with the Applicable Procedures from a Depository Participant directing the Note Registrar to credit or cause to be credited to another specified Depository Participant’s account a
beneficial interest in such Regulation S Global Note in an amount equal to the Note balance of the beneficial interest to be transferred, (2) a written order given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures containing information regarding
the account of the DTC Participant to be credited with (or, if such account is held for Euroclear or Clearstream, the Euroclear or Clearstream account, as the case may be), and the account of the DTC Participant (or, if such account is held for
Euroclear or Clearstream, the Euroclear or Clearstream account, as the case may be) to be debited for, such beneficial interest and (3) a certificate in the form of Exhibit H hereto given by the transferee, the Note Registrar shall
instruct DTC to credit or cause to be credited to the account of the Person specified in such instructions (who shall be a Depository Participant acting for or on behalf of Euroclear or Clearstream, or both, as the case may be) a beneficial interest
in the Regulation S Global Note having a Note balance equal to the amount specified in such instructions by which the account to be debited was reduced upon such transfer. The Note Registrar shall not be required to monitor compliance by Beneficial
Owners with the provisions of this Section 4.02(l)(iv). 
 (m) Transfers of Interests in Global Notes to
Individual Notes. Any and all transfers from a Global Note to a transferee wishing to take delivery in the form of an Individual Note will require the transferee to take delivery subject to the restrictions on the transfer of such Individual
Note described on the face of such Note, and such transferee agrees that it will transfer such Individual Note only as provided therein and herein. No such transfer shall be made and the Note Registrar shall not register any such transfer unless
such transfer is made in accordance with this Section 4.02(m) or is made to an Affiliate of the Originator in a transfer which otherwise complies with Section 4.02(s). 
 (i) Transfers of a beneficial interest in a Global Note to a Person who is both an Institutional Accredited Investor and a

Transferee Letter to the effect that the transfer is being made to an Institutional Accredited Investor and a Qualified Purchaser in accordance with an applicable exemption under the Securities Act, and (2) an Opinion of Counsel acceptable to
the Trustee that such transfer is in compliance with the Securities Act. 
 (ii) Upon acceptance for exchange or
transfer of a beneficial interest in a Global Note for an Individual Note, as provided herein, the Note Registrar shall endorse on the schedule affixed to the related Global Note Registrar (or on a continuation of such schedule affixed to such
Global Note Registrar and made a part thereof) an appropriate notation evidencing the date of such exchange or transfer and a decrease in the denomination of such Global Note equal to the Note balance of such Individual Note issued in exchange
therefor or upon transfer thereof. Unless determined otherwise by the Servicer and the Issuer in accordance with applicable law, an Individual Note issued upon transfer of or exchange for a beneficial interest in the Global Note shall bear the
Securities Legend. 
  

 32 








 (n) Transfers of Individual Notes to the Global Notes. If a Holder of an Individual
Note wishes at any time to transfer such Note to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in the related Regulation S Global Note or the related Rule 144A Global Note, such transfer may be effected only in

(2) written instructions given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures from the Holder of such Individual Note directing the Note Registrar to credit or cause to be credited to the applicable Participant’s account a beneficial
interest in such Regulation S Global Note or such Rule 144A Global Note, as the case may be, in an amount equal to the Note balance of the Individual Note to be so transferred, (3) a written order given in accordance with the Applicable

(4) (x) a certificate in the form of Exhibit F or Exhibit H, as applicable, hereto, given by the Holder of such Individual Note, if delivery is to be taken in the form of a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note
or (y) a Rule 144A Certification from the transferee to the effect that such transferee is a Qualified Institutional Buyer who is a Qualified Purchaser, if delivery is to be taken in the form of a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global
Note, the Note Registrar shall cancel such Individual Note, execute and deliver a new Individual Note for that portion, if any, of the Note balance of the Individual Note not so transferred, registered in the name of the Holder, and the Note
Registrar shall instruct DTC to increase the denomination of the Regulation S Global Note or the Rule 144A Global Note, as the case may be, by the Note balance of the Individual Note to be so transferred, and to credit or cause to be credited to the
account of the Person specified in such instructions (who, in the case of any increase in the Regulation S Global Note during the Distribution Compliance Period, shall be a Depository Participant acting for or on behalf of Euroclear or Clearstream,
or both, as the case may be) a corresponding Note balance of the Rule 144A Global Note or the Regulation S Global Note, as the case may be. 
 Under no circumstances may an Institutional Accredited Investor that is not a Qualified Institutional Buyer take delivery in the form of a beneficial interest in a Global Note and under no circumstances
may a Class C Note sold to a U.S. Person or any Subordinated Note be issued other than in the form of an Individual Note. 
 (o)
An exchange of a beneficial interest in a Global Note for an Individual Note or Notes, an exchange of an Individual Note or Notes for a beneficial interest in a Global Note and an exchange of an Individual Note or Notes for another Individual Note
or Notes (in each case, whether or not such exchange is made in anticipation of subsequent transfer, and in the case of the Global Notes, so long as the Global Notes remain outstanding and are held by or on behalf of DTC), may be made only in
accordance with this Section 4.02 and in accordance with the rules of DTC and Applicable Procedures (to the extent applicable). 
 (p) (i) Upon acceptance for exchange or transfer of an Individual Note for a beneficial interest in a Global Note as provided herein, the Note Registrar shall cancel such Individual Note and shall (or
shall request DTC to) endorse on the schedule affixed to such Global Note (or on a continuation of such schedule affixed to such Global Note and made a part thereof) an appropriate notation evidencing the date of such exchange or transfer and an
increase in the denomination of such Global Note equal to the Note balance of such Individual Note exchanged or transferred therefor. 
  

 33 








 (ii) Upon acceptance for exchange or transfer of a beneficial interest in a
Global Note for an Individual Note as provided herein, the Note Registrar shall (or shall request DTC to) endorse on the schedule affixed to such Global Note (or on a continuation of such schedule affixed to such Global Note and made a part thereof)
an appropriate notation evidencing the date of such exchange or transfer and a decrease in the denomination of such Global Note equal to the Note balance of such Individual Note issued in exchange therefor or upon transfer thereof. 
 (q) Unless determined otherwise by the Servicer and the Issuer in accordance with applicable law, the Securities Legend shall be placed on
any Individual Note issued in exchange for or upon transfer of another Individual Note or of a beneficial interest in a Global Note. 
 (r) Subject to the restrictions on transfer and exchange set forth in this Section 4.02, the Holder of any Individual Note may transfer or exchange the same in whole or in part (in a Note balance amount or amounts not less than
the applicable Minimum Denomination) by surrendering such Note at the Corporate Trust Office, or at the office of any transfer agent, together with an executed instrument of assignment and transfer satisfactory in form and substance to the Note
Registrar in the case of transfer and a written request for exchange in the case of exchange. The Holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Note may, subject to the rules and procedures of DTC, cause DTC (or its nominee) to notify the Note
Registrar in writing of a request for transfer or exchange of such beneficial interest for an Individual Note or Notes. Following a proper request for transfer or exchange, the Note Registrar shall, within five Business Days of such request made at
such Corporate Trust Office, cause the Trustee to authenticate and the Note Registrar to deliver at such Corporate Trust Office, to the transferee (in the case of transfer) or Holder (in the case of exchange) or send by first-class mail or by
overnight delivery service at the risk of the transferee (in the case of transfer) or Holder (in the case of exchange) to such address as the transferee or Holder, as applicable, may request, an Individual Note or Notes, as the case may require, for
a like aggregate Percentage Interest and in such Note balance amount or amounts and authorized denomination or denominations as may be requested. The presentation for transfer or exchange of any Individual Note shall not be valid unless made at the
Corporate Trust Office by the registered Holder in person, or by a duly authorized attorney-in-fact. 
 (s) (i) No transfer of
any Note shall be made unless such transfer is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws or is made in accordance with the Securities Act and such laws. No transfer of any Note shall be
made if such transfer would require the Issuer to register as an “investment company” under the 1940 Act. In the event of any such transfer, unless such transfer is made in reliance upon Rule 144A under the Securities Act or Regulation S
under the Securities Act or is a transfer of an Individual Note to an Affiliate of the Originator, (i) the Trustee may require a written Opinion of Counsel acceptable to and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee that such
transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption, describing the applicable exemption and the basis therefor, from said Act and laws or is being made pursuant to said Act and laws, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trustee, the
Issuer, or the Servicer and (ii) the Trustee shall require the transferee to execute a Transferee Letter certifying to the Issuer and the Trustee the facts surrounding such transfer, which

  

 34 








 
Transferee Letter or certification shall not be an expense of the Trustee, the Issuer or the Servicer. The Holder of a Note desiring to effect such transfer shall, and by accepting a Note and the
benefits of this Indenture does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the Issuer, the Servicer and the Initial Purchaser against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and
state laws. None of the Issuer, the Trustee, the Servicer, the Trust Depositor or the Initial Purchaser is obligated to register or qualify any Note under the Securities Act or any state or international securities laws. 
 (ii) If, at any time, any Holder of any Note is not both a Qualified Purchaser and either (1) a Qualified Institutional
Buyer, (2) an Institutional Accredited Investor or (3) a non-U.S. Person that acquired such Note outside of the United States in compliance with Regulation S (any such person, a “Non-Permitted Holder”), the Issuer shall,
promptly after obtaining actual knowledge that such person is a Non-Permitted Holder, send notice to such Non-Permitted Holder demanding that such Non-Permitted Holder transfer its interest to a Person that is not a Non-Permitted Holder within
thirty (30) days of the date of such notice. If such Non-Permitted Holder fails to transfer such Notes, the Issuer shall have the right, without further notice to the Non-Permitted Holder, to sell such Notes or interests in such Notes to a
purchaser selected by the Issuer that is not a Non-Permitted Holder on such terms and by such means as the Issuer may choose in its sole discretion. The Holder of each Note, the Non-Permitted Holder and each other Person in the chain of title from
the Holder to the Non-Permitted Holder, by its acceptance of an interest in the Notes , agrees to cooperate with the Issuer and the Trustee to effect such transfers. The proceeds of such sale, net of any commissions, expenses and taxes due in
connection with such sale, shall be remitted to the Non-Permitted Holder. 
 (t) No Subordinated Note or Class C Note may be
acquired or owned by any Person that is classified for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a partnership, subchapter S corporation or grantor trust unless (A) none of the direct or indirect beneficial owners of any interest in such Person have
or ever will have more than 50% of the value of its interest in such Person attributable to the interest of such Person in any Subordinated Note, Class C Note or other interest (direct or indirect) in the Issuer, and (B) it is not and will not
be a principal purpose of the arrangement involving the investment of such Person in any Subordinated Note or Class C Note to permit any partnership to satisfy the 100 partner limitation of Treas. Reg. § 1.7704-1(h)(1)(ii); provided that
the Class C Notes shall be exempt from the restrictions of this Section 4.02(t) if the transferee (or a prior transferee) thereof obtains an Opinion of Counsel (addressed to the Issuer and the Paying Agent) stating that such Class C
Notes will be considered debt for U.S. federal income tax purposes. 
 (u) No Subordinated Note or Class C Note (or interest
therein) may be acquired, and no Holder of a Subordinated Note or Class C Note may sell, transfer, assign, participate, pledge or otherwise dispose of any Subordinated Note or Class C Note (or interest therein) or cause any Subordinated Note or
Class C Note (or interest therein) to be marketed, on or through (i) an “established securities market” within the meaning of Section 7704(b)(1) of the Code, including, without limitation, an interdealer quotation system that
regularly disseminates firm buy or sell quotations or (ii) a “secondary market (or the substantial equivalent thereof)” within the meaning of Section 7704(b)(2) of the Code, including a market wherein any Subordinated Note or
Class C Note (or

  

 35 








 
interest therein) is regularly quoted by any person making a market in such interests and a market wherein any person regularly makes available bid or offer quotes with respect to any
Subordinated Note or Class C Note (or interest therein) and stands ready to effect buy or sell transactions at the quoted prices for itself or on behalf of others; provided that the Class C Notes shall be exempt from the restrictions of this
Section 4.02(u) if the transferee (or a prior transferee) thereof obtains an Opinion of Counsel (addressed to the Issuer and the Paying Agent) stating that such Class C Notes will be considered debt for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

 (v) No Holder of a Subordinated Note may transfer its interest in any Subordinated Note in an amount less than the Minimum
Denomination for such Subordinated Note. 
 (w) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture to the contrary, on the
Closing Date, the Trustee shall authenticate in the name of, and deliver to, the Trust Depositor, each of the Class C Note and the Subordinated Note in the form of a single Individual Note in an aggregate principal amount equal to the Initial Class
C Principal Balance or the Initial Subordinated Principal Balance, as applicable. The Holder of each of the Class C Note and the Subordinated Note shall initially be the Trust Depositor. No transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of one or more
Subordinated Notes (a “Transfer”) shall be made unless simultaneously with the Transfer (1) a proportionate amount of Trust Certificates are Transferred so that the ratio of the Percentage Interest of the Trust Certificates so
Transferred to all Trust Certificates and the ratio of the Percentage Interest of the Subordinated Notes so Transferred to all Subordinated Notes are equal, (2) the Transfers of the Trust Certificates and Subordinated Notes referred to herein
are made to the same Person, and (3) the Percentage Interest of the Trust Certificates and Subordinated Notes, respectively, so transferred is no less than ten (10%) percent. 
 (x) The Subordinated Notes and the Class C Notes may only be owned by United States Persons (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the
Code); provided that the Class C Notes shall be exempt from the restrictions of this Section 4.02(x) if the transferee (or a prior transferee) thereof obtains an Opinion of Counsel (addressed to the Issuer and the Paying Agent)
stating that such Class C Notes will be considered debt for U.S. federal income tax purposes. 
 (y) No Class A Note or
Class B Note, or any interest therein, may be acquired directly or indirectly by, for, on behalf of or with any assets of an employee benefit plan as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA that is subject to Title I of ERISA, any plan described in
and subject to Section 4975 of the Code (collectively, a “Plan”) or governmental, non-U.S. or church plan or arrangement subject to any federal, state, local or non-U.S. law or regulation substantively similar or of similar effect to
the foregoing provisions of ERISA or the Code (“Similar Law”) unless it represents or is deemed to represent that its acquisition and holding of the Class A Note or Class B Note will not constitute or result in a non-exempt
prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code by reason of any of Section 408(b)(17) of ERISA or Section 4975(d)(20) of the Code, Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption (“PTCE”)
96-23, PTCE 95-60, PTCE 91-38, PTCE 90-1, PTCE 84-14, each as amended, or an exemption similar to the foregoing exemptions or, in the case of a governmental, non-U.S. or church plan or arrangement subject to Similar Law, will not constitute or
result in a non-exempt violation of Similar Law. No Class C Note or Subordinated Note, or any interest therein, may be acquired directly or indirectly by, for, on behalf of or with any assets of any Plan or any governmental, non-U.S. or church plan
or arrangement

  

 36 








 
subject to Similar Law unless it represents or is deemed to represent that it is a Plan that is not subject to Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and its acquisition and holding of
the Class C Note or the Subordinated Note will not constitute or result in a non-exempt violation of Similar Law. In the case of an Individual Note, such representation shall be made in a certification from the transferee to the Trustee; in the case
of a Note other than an Individual Note, the transferee shall be deemed to have made such representation. 
 (z) No Class C Note
or Subordinated Note in the form of an Individual Note may be exchanged for an interest in a Global Note; provided that any Class C Note held as an Individual Note may be exchanged for a Regulation S Global Note in an off-shore transaction
with a non-U.S. Person that is a Qualified Purchaser. 
 (aa) The Trustee, Note Registrar and Certificate Registrar shall not be
responsible for ascertaining whether any transfer complies with, or otherwise monitoring or determining compliance with, the requirements or terms of the Securities Act, applicable state or international securities laws, ERISA, the Code or the 1940
Act; except that if a transfer certificate or opinion is specifically required by the terms of this Section (or by the terms of the Trust Agreement, as applicable) to be provided to the Trustee, Note Registrar or Certificate Registrar by a
prospective transferee or transferor, the Trustee, Note Registrar or Certificate Registrar, as applicable, shall be under a duty to receive and examine the same to determine whether it conforms substantially on its face to the applicable
requirements of this Section (or the Trust Agreement, as applicable). 
 (bb) Any Note may be cancelled by the Note Registrar
without any notice to or approval of any Noteholder in accordance with Section 4.03 or once such Note has been properly surrendered for (i) final payment, (ii) transfer and exchange, (iii) redemption or
(iv) refinancing. Any Note acquired by the Issuer or otherwise surrendered for cancellation or marked as abandoned by Holder thereof will be cancelled by the Note Registrar only upon receipt of written consent thereto from both the Servicer and
the Majority Noteholders. 
 Section 4.03. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes. 
 If (i) any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee, or the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss
or theft of any Note, and (ii) there is delivered to the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by it to hold the Issuer and the Trustee harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Issuer, the Note Registrar or the Trustee
that such Note has been acquired by a protected purchaser, the Issuer shall execute, and upon its request the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a replacement
Note; provided that if any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, but not a mutilated Note, shall have become or within seven days shall be due and payable, or shall have been called for redemption or refinancing, instead of issuing a replacement
Note, the Issuer may pay such destroyed, lost or stolen Note when so due without surrender thereof. If, after the delivery of such replacement Note or payment of a destroyed, lost or stolen Note pursuant to the proviso to the preceding sentence, a
protected purchaser of the original Note in lieu of which such replacement Note was issued presents for payment such original Note, the Issuer and the Trustee shall be entitled to recover such replacement Note (or such payment) from the Person to
whom it was delivered or any Person taking such replacement Note from such Person to whom such replacement Note was delivered or any assignee of such Person, except a protected purchaser, and shall be entitled to recover upon the security or
indemnity provided therefor to the extent of any loss, damage, cost or expense incurred by the Issuer or the Trustee in connection therewith. 
  

 37 








 Upon the issuance of any replacement Note under this Section 4.03, the Issuer
may require the payment by the Holder of such Note 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 Trustee) connected
therewith. 
 Every replacement Note issued pursuant to this Section 4.03 in replacement of any mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Issuer, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the
benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder. 
 The provisions of
this Section 4.03 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes. 
 Section 4.04. Payment of Principal and Interest; Defaulted Interest. 
 (a) The Notes shall accrue interest during each Interest Period on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed during such Interest
Period and a year assumed to consist of 360 days. Any installment of interest or principal, if any, payable on any Note which is punctually paid or duly provided for by the Issuer on the applicable Distribution Date shall be paid to the Person in
whose name such Note is registered on the Record Date, by check mailed first-class, postage prepaid, to such Person’s address as it appears on the Note Register on such Record Date, except that (i) with respect to Notes registered on the
Record Date in the name of the nominee of DTC (initially, such nominee to be Cede & Co.), such payment will be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account designated by such Person and except for the final
installment of principal payable with respect to such Note on a Distribution Date or on the Stated Maturity and (ii) the Redemption Price or Refinancing Price for any Note called for redemption or refinancing pursuant to Article X hereof
shall be payable as provided in Section 4.04(b) or Article X hereof, as applicable. The funds represented by any such checks returned undelivered shall be held in accordance with Section 3.03. 
 (b) The principal of each Note shall be payable in installments on each Distribution Date as provided in the Sale and Servicing Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire unpaid principal amount of the Notes shall be due and payable, if not previously paid, on the date on which an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, if the Trustee with the consent or at
the direction of the Majority Noteholders has declared the Notes to be immediately due and payable in the manner provided in Section 5.02. All principal payments among the Classes of Notes shall be made in the order and priorities set
forth herein and in the Sale and Servicing Agreement and all principal payments on the Notes of the same Class shall be made pro rata to the Noteholders of such Class. The Trustee shall notify the Person in whose name a Note is registered at
the close of business on the Record Date preceding the Distribution Date on which the Issuer expects that the final installment of principal of and interest on such Note will be paid; provided that the Issuer or Servicer shall have provided the
Trustee with timely notice of such expectation. Such notice shall be

  

 38 








 
mailed or transmitted by facsimile prior to such final Distribution Date and shall specify that such final installment will be payable only upon presentation and surrender of such Note and shall
specify the place where such Note may be presented and surrendered for payment of such installment. Notices in connection with a redemption or refinancing of Notes shall be given to Noteholders as provided in Article X. 
 Section 4.05. Tax Treatment. 
 (a) The Issuer has entered into this Indenture, and the Notes will be issued, with the intention that, for federal, state and local income, business and franchise tax purposes, (i) the Notes (other
than the Subordinated Notes) will qualify as indebtedness secured by the Indenture Collateral and (ii) the Issuer shall not be treated as an association, taxable mortgage pool or publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation. The Issuer,
by entering into this Indenture, and each Noteholder (other than any Subordinated Noteholder), by the acceptance of any such Note (and each beneficial owner of a Note, by its acceptance of an interest in the applicable Note), agree to treat such
Notes for federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes as indebtedness of the Issuer. Each Holder of any such Note (other than any Subordinated Noteholder) agrees that it will cause any beneficial owner of such Note acquiring an
interest in a Note through it to comply with this Indenture as to treatment of indebtedness under applicable tax law, as described in this Section 4.05. The parties hereto agree that they shall not cause or permit the making, as
applicable, of any election under Treasury Regulation Section 301.7701-3 whereby the Issuer or any portion thereof would be treated as a corporation for federal income tax purposes and, except as required by the terms of this Indenture or
applicable law, shall not file tax returns for the Issuer, but shall treat the Issuer as a disregarded entity for federal income tax purposes (unless, pursuant to Section 4.05(b)(ii), the Issuer is treated as partnership). The provisions
of this Indenture shall be construed in furtherance of the foregoing intended tax treatment. 
 (b) It is the intent of the
Trust Depositor, the Servicer, the Subordinated Noteholders and the Certificateholder that, (i) in the event that the Trust Certificate and the Subordinated Notes are owned by a single Holder, for federal income tax purposes, the Issuer will be
disregarded as an entity separate from such Holder, and such Holder, by acceptance of the Trust Certificate and the Subordinated Notes, agrees to take no action inconsistent with such treatment and (ii) in the event that the Trust Certificate
and/or the Subordinated Notes are owned by more than one Holder, for federal income tax purposes, the Issuer will be treated as a partnership, the partners of which are the Certificateholders and the Subordinated Noteholders, and each
Certificateholder and Subordinated Noteholder, by acceptance of a Trust Certificate and a Subordinated Note, respectively, agree to treat the Trust Certificate and the Subordinated Notes as equity and to take no action inconsistent with such
treatment. 
 (c) All payments made by the Issuer under the Offered Notes will be made without any deduction or withholding for
or on the account of any tax unless such deduction or withholding is required by applicable law, as modified by the practice of any relevant governmental revenue authority, then in effect. If the Issuer is so required to deduct or withhold it will
provide notice to the Trustee of such requirement promptly after a Responsible Officer becomes aware thereof and the Issuer will not be obligated to pay to the holder of any such Offered Note any additional amounts in respect of such withholding or
deduction. 
  

 39 








 (d) Each Holder and each beneficial owner of a Note, by acceptance of such Note or its
interest in such Note, shall be deemed to understand and acknowledge that failure to provide the Issuer, the Trustee or any Paying Agent with the applicable U.S. federal income tax certifications (generally, an Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or
successor applicable form) in the case of a person that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code or an appropriate Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 (or successor applicable form) in the case
of a person that is not a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) may result in amounts being withheld from payments in respect of such Note. 
 Section 4.06. Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture. 
 (a) The following shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture: (i) rights of registration of transfer and exchange,
(ii) substitution of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes pursuant to Section 4.03, (iii) rights of Noteholders to receive payments of principal thereof and interest thereon, (iv) Sections 3.03, 3.04,
3.06, 3.10, 3.19, 3.21, 3.22, 4.05, 6.07, 11.15 and the second sentence of 11.16, (v) the rights, obligations and immunities of the Trustee hereunder (including the rights of the
Trustee under Section 6.07 and the obligations of the Trustee under Section 4.07) and (vi) the rights of Noteholders as beneficiaries hereof with respect to the property so deposited with the Trustee payable to all or
any of them. This Indenture shall cease to be of further effect with respect to the Notes and the Trustee, on written demand of and at the expense of the Issuer, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this
Indenture with respect to the Notes, when: 
 (A) either 
 (1) all Notes theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than (i) Notes that have been destroyed, lost or stolen and that have been
replaced or paid as provided in Section 4.03 and (ii) Notes for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Issuer and thereafter repaid to the Issuer or discharged from such
trust, as provided in Section 3.03) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation pursuant to Section 4.02(bb); or 
 (2) all Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation: 
 (i) have become due and payable; or 
 (ii) mature within one year or are to be called for redemption or
refinancing within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption or refinancing by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Issuer; 
 and the Issuer, in the case of (2)(i) or (ii) above, has irrevocably deposited or caused to be irrevocably deposited with the
Trustee cash or direct obligations of or obligations guaranteed by the United States of America (which will mature prior to the date such amounts are payable), in trust for such purpose, in an amount sufficient to pay and discharge the entire

  

 40 








 
indebtedness on such Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation when due to the Stated Maturity therefor, Redemption Date or Refinancing Date (if Notes shall have been called
for redemption or refinancing pursuant to Article X), as the case may be; and 
 (B) the Issuer has delivered to the
Trustee an Officer’s Certificate meeting the applicable requirements of Section 11.02 and, subject to Section 11.02, stating that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to the satisfaction and discharge of
this Indenture with respect to the Notes have been complied with. 
 (b) By acceptance of any Note, the Holder thereof agrees to
surrender such Note to the Trustee promptly upon such Noteholder’s receipt of the final payment thereon or as otherwise provided in the Transaction Documents. 
 Section 4.07. Application of Trust Money. 
 All moneys deposited
with the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.06 hereof shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent, as the Trustee may
determine, to the Holders of Notes for the payment, redemption or refinancing for which such moneys have been deposited with the Trustee, of all sums due and to become due thereon for principal and interest; but such moneys need not be segregated
from other funds except to the extent required herein or in the Sale and Servicing Agreement or required by law. 
 Section 4.08.
Repayment of Moneys Held by Paying Agent. 
 In connection with the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with
respect to the Notes, all moneys then held by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee under the provisions of this Indenture with respect to such Notes shall, upon demand of the Issuer, be paid to the Trustee to be held and applied according to
Section 3.05 and thereupon such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such moneys.

the Issuer is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto. 
 Section 5.02. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and
Annulment. 
 If an Event of Default should occur and be continuing, (other than an Event of Default specified in
Sections 5.01(vi) or (vii)), then and in every such case the Trustee may, and shall at the direction of the Majority Noteholders, declare the Notes to be immediately due and payable by a notice in writing to the Issuer, the Owner
Trustee and the Rating Agencies (and to the Trustee if given by Noteholders), and upon any such declaration the unpaid principal amount of the Notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, through the date of acceleration, shall become
immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in Sections 5.01(vi) or (vii) occurs, the unpaid principal amount of the Notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, through the date of acceleration,
shall become immediately due and payable. 
 At any time after such declaration of acceleration of maturity has been made and
before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in this Article V provided, the Majority Noteholders, by written notice to the Issuer and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such
declaration and its consequences if: 
 (A) the Issuer has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to
pay: 
 (i) all payments of principal of and interest on the Notes, and all other amounts that would then be due
hereunder, upon the Notes if the Event of Default giving rise to such acceleration had not occurred; and 
  

 43 








 (ii) all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee and its agents and counsel; and 
 (B) all
Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of the principal of the Notes that has become due solely by such acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 5.12. 
 No such rescission or annulment shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereto. 
 Section 5.03. Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee. 
 (a) The Issuer covenants that if (i) default is made in the payment of any interest on any Offered Note or, if the Offered Notes have
been paid in full, any Class C Note, when the same becomes due and payable, or (ii) default is made in the payment of the principal of or any installment of the principal of any Offered Note or, if the Offered Notes have been paid in full, any
Class C Note, when the same becomes due and payable, and in each case such default continues for a period of two Business Days, the Issuer will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the Noteholders, the whole amount then due and
payable on the Notes for principal and interest, with interest upon the overdue principal, and in addition thereto such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation,
expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee and its agents and counsel. 
 (b) In case the Issuer shall fail forthwith
to pay such amounts upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, with the consent of the Majority Noteholders and subject to the provisions of Section 11.15 hereof may institute a Proceeding for the
collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute such Proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce the same against the Issuer or other obligor upon the Notes and collect in the manner provided by law out of the Indenture
Collateral, wherever situated, the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable. 
 (c) If an Event of Default occurs and is
continuing, and the Notes have been declared due and payable and such declaration and its consequences have not been rescinded and annulled, the Trustee subject to the provisions of Section 5.04 and Section 11.15 hereof may,
as more particularly provided in Section 5.04, in its discretion, proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Noteholders by such appropriate Proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effective to protect and enforce
any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy or legal or equitable right vested in the Trustee by
this Indenture or by law. 
  

 44 








 (d) In case there shall be pending, relative to the Issuer or any Person having or claiming
an ownership interest in the Indenture Collateral, Proceedings under Title 11 of the United States Code or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, or in case a receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or
reorganization, liquidator, sequestrator or similar official shall have been appointed for or taken possession of the Issuer or its property or such other Person, or in case of any other comparable judicial Proceedings relative to the Issuer , or to
the creditors or property of the Issuer, the Trustee, irrespective of whether the principal of any Notes shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any
demand pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.03, shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such Proceedings or otherwise: 
 (i) to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount of principal and interest, as applicable, owing and unpaid in respect of the Notes and to file such other papers or documents as may be
necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for reasonable compensation to the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee, and their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and for reimbursement of all
reasonable expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee, except as a result of negligence or bad faith) and of the Noteholders allowed in such Proceedings; 
 (ii) unless prohibited by applicable law and regulations, to vote on behalf of the Holders of Notes in any election of a
trustee, a standby trustee or Person performing similar functions in any such Proceedings;

 and any trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official in any such Proceeding is hereby authorized by each of such Noteholders to make payments to the Trustee, and, in the event that
the Trustee shall consent to the making of payments directly to such Noteholders, to pay to the Trustee such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover reasonable compensation to the Trustee, each predecessor Trustee and their respective agents,
attorneys and counsel, and all other expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee except as a result of negligence or bad faith. 
  

 45 








 (e) Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or
consent to or vote for or accept or adopt on behalf of any Noteholder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the
claim of any Noteholder in any such proceeding except, as aforesaid, to vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar Person. 
 (f) All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture, or under any of the Notes, may be enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Notes or the production thereof in any
trial or other Proceedings relative thereto, and any such action or proceedings instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment, subject to the payment of the expenses,
disbursements and compensation of the Trustee, each predecessor Trustee and their respective agents and attorneys, shall be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes. 
 (g) In any Proceedings brought by the Trustee (and also any Proceedings involving the interpretation of any provision of this Indenture to
which the Trustee shall be a party), the Trustee shall be held to represent all the Holders of the Notes, and it shall not be necessary to make any Noteholder a party to any such Proceedings. 
 Section 5.04. Remedies; Priorities. 
 (a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and the Notes have been declared due and payable and such declaration and its consequences have not been rescinded and annulled, subject to the
provisions of Section 11.15 hereof, the Trustee may do one or more of the following (subject to the provisions of this Section 5.04 and Section 5.15): 
 (i) institute Proceedings in its own name and as trustee of an express trust for the collection of all amounts then payable
on the Notes or under this Indenture with respect thereto, whether by declaration or otherwise, and all amounts payable under the Sale and Servicing Agreement, enforce any judgment obtained, and collect from the Issuer and any other obligor upon
such Notes moneys adjudged due; 
 (ii) institute Proceedings from time to time for the complete or partial
foreclosure of this Indenture with respect to the Indenture Collateral; 
 (iii) exercise any remedies of a
secured party under the UCC and take any other appropriate action to protect and enforce the rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes; and 
 (iv) sell the Indenture Collateral or any portion thereof or rights or interest therein; 
 provided, however, that the Trustee may not sell or otherwise liquidate the Indenture Collateral following and during the continuance of an
Event of Default unless (A) the Notes have been declared or have otherwise become immediately due and payable in accordance with Section 5.02 and such declaration or acceleration and its consequences have not been rescinded and
annulled and (B) either (1) (x) the proceeds of such Sale or liquidation are sufficient to discharge in full all amounts then due and unpaid upon the

  

 46 








 
Offered Notes for principal and interest, to pay all amounts then due and payable to the Trustee and the Owner Trustee and to reimburse the Servicer for any outstanding unreimbursed Servicing
Advances, Scheduled Payment Advances, Nonrecoverable Advances, Servicing Fee and Deferred Servicing Fee, together with any interest due thereon and (y) the Majority Noteholders consent to such Sale or (2) a majority of each Class of the
Offered Notes then Outstanding (each voting as a separate Class) consents to such sale. In determining whether the proceeds of such Sale or liquidation distributable to the Noteholders and the other parties entitled thereto are sufficient to
discharge in full the amounts referenced in clause (B)(1)(x) above, the Trustee may, but need not, obtain, at the Issuer’s expense, and rely upon an opinion of an independent investment banking firm of national reputation as to the
feasibility of such proposed action and as to the sufficiency of the expected sales proceeds of the Indenture Collateral for such purpose. 
 (b) Following any Event of Default and prior to the liquidation in full of all Revolving Loans and Delayed Draw Term Loans included in the Indenture Collateral, the Trustee will not remove any funds from
the Exposure Reserve Account other than to fund Obligor draws with respect to outstanding Exposure Amounts if, as a result of such withdrawal, the aggregate Exposure Amounts would exceed the funds remaining on deposit in the Exposure Reserve
Account. 
 (c) If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article V, it shall distribute such money in
accordance with Section 7.05(c) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. The Trustee may fix a record date and distribution date (which may be a date other than a Distribution Date) for any payment to Noteholders pursuant to this
Section 5.04. At least five days before such record date, the Issuer shall mail to each Noteholder and the Trustee a notice that states the record date, the distribution date and the amount to be paid. 
 Section 5.05. [Reserved]. 
 Section 5.06. Limitation of Suits. 
 No Holder of any Note shall

(B) from and after the payment in full of each Class of Offered Notes, the Class C Noteholders evidencing 25% of the aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance of the Class C Notes have made written request to the Trustee to institute such
Proceeding in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder and (C) from and after the payment in full of each Class of Rated Notes, the Subordinated Noteholders evidencing 25% of the aggregate Outstanding Principal
Balance of the Subordinated Notes have made written request to the Trustee to institute such Proceeding in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder; 
  

 47 








 (iii) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee reasonable
indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in complying with such request; 
 (iv) the
Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute such Proceedings; and 
 (v) (A) prior to the payment in full of each Class of Offered Notes, no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such 60 day period by the Holders of a
majority of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Class A Notes and the Class B Notes (voting as a single class), (B) from and after payment in full of the Offered Notes, no direction inconsistent with such written request has been
given to the Trustee during such 60 day period by the Holders of a majority of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Class C Notes and (C) from and after payment in full of the Rated Notes, no direction inconsistent with such written request
has been given to the Trustee during such 60 day period by the Holders of a majority of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Subordinated Notes. 
 It is understood and intended that no one or more of the Holders of Notes shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other
Holders of Notes or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided. 
 In the event the Trustee shall receive conflicting or inconsistent requests and indemnity from two or more groups of Holders of Notes, each
representing less than a majority of the Aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance of the Class or Classes of Notes then entitled to make such request, the Trustee in its sole discretion may determine what action, if any, shall be taken,
notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture. 
 Section 5.07. Unconditional Rights of Noteholders To Receive
Principal and Interest. 
 Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Indenture, but subject to
Section 11.15 hereof, the Holder of any Note shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and interest, if any, on such Note on or after the respective due dates thereof expressed in
such Note or in this Indenture and such right shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.

Restoration of Rights and Remedies. 
 If the Trustee or any Noteholder has instituted any Proceeding to enforce any
right or remedy under this Indenture and such Proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Noteholder, then and in every such case the Issuer, the Trustee and the Noteholders
shall, subject to any determination in such Proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Noteholders shall continue as though no such Proceeding
had been instituted. 
  

 48 








 Section 5.09. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. 
 No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Noteholders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or
remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any
right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy. 
 Section 5.10. Delay or Omission Not a Waiver. 
 No delay or omission
of the Trustee or any Holder of any Note in the exercise of any right or remedy accruing upon any Default or Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Default or Event of Default or an acquiescence
therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article V or by law to the Trustee or to the Noteholders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Noteholders, as the case may be.

 Section 5.11. Control by Noteholders. 
 The Majority Noteholders shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any Proceeding for any remedy available to
the Trustee with respect to the Notes or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee; provided that: 
 (i) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture; 
 (ii) subject
to the express terms of Section 5.04, any direction to the Trustee to sell or liquidate the Indenture Collateral shall be by Holders of the Notes representing (A) prior to the payment in full of each Class of Offered Notes, the
Majority Noteholders, (B) from and after the payment in full of the Offered Notes, 100% of the aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance of the Class C Notes and (C) from and after the payment in full of the Rated Notes, 100% of the
aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance of the Subordinated Notes; and 
 (iii) the Trustee may take any other
action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction. 
 Notwithstanding the rights of Noteholders
set forth in this Section 5.11, subject to Section 6.01, the Trustee need not take any action that it determines might involve it in liability. 
 Section 5.12. Waiver of Past Defaults. 
 Prior to the declaration of
the acceleration of the maturity of the Notes as provided in Section 5.02, the Majority Noteholders may waive any past Event of Default and its consequences except an Event of Default with respect to payment of principal or interest,

  

 49 








 
as applicable, on any of the Notes or in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which cannot be modified or amended without the waiver or consent of each of the Holders of the Outstanding
Notes affected thereby. In the case of any such waiver, the Issuer, the Trustee and the Noteholders shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Event of
Default or impair any right consequent thereto. 
 Upon any such waiver, any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed
to have been cured and not to have occurred, for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereto. 
 Section 5.13. Undertaking for Costs. 
 All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Note by such Holder’s acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the
enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit,
and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party
litigant; but the provisions of this Section 5.13 shall not apply to (i) any suit instituted by the Trustee, (ii) any suit instituted by any Noteholder, or group of Noteholders, in each case holding in the aggregate more than
25% of the Aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance or (iii) any suit instituted by any Noteholder for the enforcement of the payment of principal or interest, as applicable, on any Note on or after the respective due dates expressed in such
Note and in this Indenture. 
 Section 5.14. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. 
 The Issuer covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead or in any manner
whatsoever, claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Issuer (to the extent that it may
lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such
power as though no such law had been enacted. 
 Section 5.15. Sale of Indenture Collateral. 
 (a) The power to effect any sale or other disposition (a “Sale”) of any portion of the Indenture Collateral pursuant to
Section 5.04 is expressly subject to the provisions of Section 5.11 and this Section 5.15. The power to effect any such Sale shall not be exhausted by any one or more Sales as to any portion of the Indenture
Collateral remaining unsold, but shall continue unimpaired until the entire Indenture Collateral shall have been sold or all amounts payable on the Notes and under this Indenture shall have been paid. The Trustee hereby expressly waives its right to
any amount fixed by law as compensation for any Sale. 
  

 50 








 (b) The Trustee shall not in any private Sale sell the Indenture Collateral, or any portion
thereof, unless the Majority Noteholders consent to or such Noteholders as required by Section 5.11 direct the Trustee to make such Sale and: 
 (i) the proceeds of such Sale or liquidation are sufficient to discharge in full all amounts then due and unpaid upon the Offered Notes for principal and interest, as applicable, to pay all amounts then
due and payable to the Trustee and to reimburse the Servicer for any outstanding unreimbursed Servicing Advances and Scheduled Payment Advances; or 
 (ii) the Trustee determines, in its sole discretion, that the conditions for liquidation of the Indenture Collateral set forth in Section 5.04 are satisfied (in making any such determination,
the Trustee may rely upon an opinion of an Independent investment banking firm obtained and delivered as provided in Section 5.04). 
 (c) In connection with a Sale of all or any portion of the Indenture Collateral: 
 (i) other than in the case of a Sale of any Loan as contemplated by the Sale and Servicing Agreement, any Holder or Holders of Notes (other than the Trust Depositor) may bid for and purchase the property
offered for Sale, and upon compliance with the terms of Sale may hold, retain and possess and dispose of such property, without further accountability, and may, in paying the purchase money therefor, deliver any Rated Notes or claims for interest
thereon in lieu of cash up to the amount which shall, upon distribution of the net proceeds of such Sale, be payable thereon, and such Rated Notes, in case the amounts so payable thereon shall be less than the amount due thereon, shall be returned
to the Holders thereof after being appropriately stamped to show such partial payment; 
 (ii) other than in the
case of a Sale of any Loan as contemplated by the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Trustee may bid for and acquire the property offered for Sale in connection with any Sale thereof, and, subject to any requirements of, and to the extent permitted
by, Requirements of Law in connection therewith, may purchase all or any portion of the Indenture Collateral in a private sale, and, in lieu of paying cash therefor, may make settlement for the purchase price by crediting the gross Sale price
against the sum of (A) the amount which would be distributable to the Holders of the Notes as a result of such Sale in accordance with Section 5.04(c) on the Distribution Date next succeeding the date of such Sale and (B) the
expenses of the Sale and of any Proceedings in connection therewith which are reimbursable to it, without being required to produce the Notes in order to complete any such Sale or in order for the net Sale price to be credited against such Notes,
and any property so acquired by the Trustee shall be held and dealt with by it in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture; 
 (iii) the Trustee shall execute and deliver an appropriate instrument of conveyance transferring its interest in any portion of the Indenture Collateral in connection with a Sale thereof; 
  

 51 








 (iv) the Trustee is hereby irrevocably appointed the agent and
attorney-in-fact of the Issuer to transfer and convey its interest in any portion of the Indenture Collateral in connection with a Sale thereof, and to take all action necessary to effect such Sale; 
 (v) the Trustee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to maximize the proceeds of any such Sale of the Indenture
Collateral; 
 (vi) no purchaser or transferee at such a Sale shall be bound to ascertain the Trustee’s
authority, inquire into the satisfaction of any conditions precedent or see to the application of any moneys; and 
 (vii) if, as a result of any such sale of a Delayed Draw Term Loan or a Revolving Loan, the amounts on deposit in the Exposure Reserve Account exceed the aggregate Exposure Amount of all Delayed Draw Term Loans and Revolving Loans included
in the Indenture Collateral, the Trustee shall transfer such excess to the Principal Collection Account as Principal Collections. 
 Section 5.16. Action on Notes. 
 The Trustee’s right to seek and recover judgment on the Notes or
under this Indenture shall not be affected by the seeking, obtaining or application of any other relief under or with respect to this Indenture. Neither the lien of this Indenture nor any rights or remedies of the Trustee or the Noteholders shall be
impaired by the recovery of any judgment by the Trustee against the Issuer or by the levy of any execution under such judgment upon any portion of the Indenture Collateral or upon any of the assets of the Issuer. Any money or property collected by
the Trustee shall be applied in accordance with Section 5.04(c). 
 Section 5.17. Performance and Enforcement
of Certain Obligations. 
 (a) Promptly following a request from the Trustee to do so, the Issuer shall take all such
lawful action as the Trustee may request to compel or secure the performance and observance by the Originator, the Trust Depositor and the Servicer, as applicable, of each of their obligations to the Issuer under or in connection with the
Transaction Documents, and to exercise any and all rights, remedies, powers and privileges lawfully available to the Issuer under or in connection with the Transaction Documents to the extent and in the manner directed by the Trustee, including the
transmission of notices of default to the Originator, the Trust Depositor or the Servicer thereunder and the institution of legal or administrative actions or proceedings to compel or secure performance by the Originator, the Trust Depositor or the
Servicer of each of their obligations under the Transaction Documents. 
 (b) If a Servicer Default has occurred and is
continuing, the Trustee, at the direction (which direction shall be in writing or by telephone (confirmed in writing promptly thereafter)) of the Majority Noteholders, shall exercise all rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims of the Issuer
against the Servicer under or in connection with the Sale and Servicing Agreement, including the right or power to take any action to compel or secure performance or observance by the Servicer, of its obligations to the Issuer thereunder and to give
any consent, request, notice, direction, approval, extension or waiver under the Sale and Servicing Agreement, and any right of the Issuer to take such action shall not be suspended. 
  

 52

 53 








 
direction of any of the Noteholders pursuant to this Indenture, unless such Noteholder or Noteholders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs,
expenses, and liabilities that might be incurred by it in compliance with the request or direction. Anything in this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the Trustee be liable for special, indirect or consequential loss or
damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits).

the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 6.01.

and protection from liability in respect to any action taken, omitted or suffered by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such advice of counsel or such Opinion of Counsel. 
 (f) The Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the performance of the Issuer or the Servicer under this Indenture or any
other Transaction Document or into the matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, note or other document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make any
further inquiry or investigation into those matters that it deems appropriate, and if the Trustee determines to inquire further, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Issuer and the Servicer, personally or by agent

 54

 (h) Except as expressly provided herein or in any other Transaction Document, nothing herein shall be construed to impose an obligation on the part of the Trustee to recalculate, evaluate or verify any
report, certificate or information received by it from the Issuer or Servicer or to otherwise monitor the activities of the Issuer or Servicer. 
 (i) In the event that the Trustee is also acting in the capacity of custodian, Paying Agent, Note Registrar or Certificate Registrar hereunder or under the other Transaction Documents, the rights,

 Section 6.03. Individual Rights of Trustee. 
 The Trustee in its
individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Note Registrar, co-registrar, Paying Agent or co-paying

or adequacy of this Indenture, the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Agreement, the Notes or any other Transaction Document, the validity or sufficiency of any security interest intended to be created or the characterization of the Notes for
tax purposes, it shall not be accountable for the Issuer’s use of the proceeds from the Notes, and it shall not be responsible for any statement of the Issuer in this Indenture or in any document issued in connection with the sale of the Notes
or in the Notes other than the Trustee’s certificate of authentication. 
 Section 6.05. Notice of Event of
Default. 
 The Trustee shall mail to each Noteholder, the Rating Agencies (so long as any of the Offered Notes are

 55 








 Section 6.06. Reports by Trustee to Holders. 
 The Trustee shall deliver to each Noteholder such information in its possession as may be required to enable such holder to prepare its
federal and state income tax returns. In addition, upon the Issuer’s or a Noteholder’s written request, the Trustee shall promptly furnish information reasonably requested by the Issuer or such Noteholder that is reasonably available to
the Trustee to enable the Issuer or such Noteholder to perform its federal and state income tax reporting obligations. 
 The
Trustee shall not be responsible for any tax reporting, disclosure, record keeping or list maintenance requirements of the Issuer under Internal Revenue Code sections 6011(a), 6111(d) or 6112, including, but not limited to, the preparation of IRS
Form 8886 pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.6011-4(d) or any successor provision and any required list maintenance under Treasury Regulations Section 301.6112-1 or any successor provision. 
 Section 6.07. Compensation and Indemnity. 
 The Issuer shall pay to the Trustee on each Distribution Date reasonable compensation for its services under this Indenture and the other Transaction Documents pursuant to a separate agreement dated as of
the date hereof between the Trustee and the Issuer. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Issuer shall reimburse the Trustee for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
incurred or made by it, including costs of collection, in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee’s agents, counsel,
accountants and experts. The Issuer shall indemnify the Trustee against any and all loss, liability or expense (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by it in connection with the administration of this trust and the performance of its duties
hereunder. The Trustee shall notify the Issuer and the Trust Depositor promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Issuer and the Trust Depositor shall not relieve the Issuer of its obligations
hereunder or under the Trust Agreement. The Issuer need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Trustee through the Trustee’s own willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith. The Issuer
shall assume (with the consent of the Trustee, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) the defense of claim for indemnification hereunder and any settlement of any such claim and pay all expenses in connection therewith, including reasonable
counsel fees. If the consent of the Trustee required in the immediately preceding sentence is unreasonably withheld, the Issuer is relieved of its indemnification obligations hereunder with respect thereto. The obligations of the Issuer set forth in
this Section 6.07 are subject in all respects to Section 11.15(b). 
 The Trustee hereby agrees not to
cause the filing of a petition in bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, receivership, conservatorship or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect against the Issuer for the non-payment to the Trustee of any amounts provided by
this Section 6.07 until at least one year and one day, or, if longer, the applicable preference period then in effect, after the payment in full of all Notes issued under this Indenture. 
 The amounts payable to the Trustee pursuant to this Section 6.07 shall not, except as provided by Section 7.05 of the Sale
and Servicing Agreement, exceed on any Distribution Date the limitation on the amount thereof described in the Priority of Payments for

  

 56 








 
such Distribution Date and in the definition of Administrative Expenses in the Sale and Servicing Agreement; provided that (i) the Trustee shall not institute any proceeding for payment of
any amount payable hereunder except in connection with an action pursuant to Section 5.03 or 5.04 for the enforcement of the lien of this Indenture for the benefit of the Noteholders and (ii) the Trustee may only seek to
enforce payment of such amounts in conjunction with the enforcement of the rights of the Noteholders in the manner set forth in Section 5.04. 
 The Trustee shall, subject to the Priority of Payments, receive amounts pursuant to this Section 6.07 and Section 7.05 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, and only to the extent that the
payment thereof would not result in an Event of Default and the failure to pay such amounts to the Trustee will not, by itself, constitute an Event of Default. Subject to Section 6.08, the Trustee shall continue to serve as Trustee under
this Indenture notwithstanding the fact that the Trustee shall not have received amounts due it hereunder and hereby agrees not to cause the filing of a petition in bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, receivership, conservatorship or
other similar laws now or hereafter in effect against the Issuer for the nonpayment to the Trustee of any amounts provided by this Section 6.07 until at least one year and one day, or, if longer, the applicable preference period then in
effect, after the payment in full of all Notes issued under this Indenture. 
 The Issuer’s payment obligations to the
Trustee pursuant to this Section 6.07 shall survive the discharge of this Indenture and resignation or removal of the Trustee. When the Trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in clauses
(vi) or (vii) of the definition of “Event of Default” with respect to the Issuer, the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under Title 11 of the United States Code or any other applicable
federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law. 
 Section 6.08. Replacement of Trustee. 
 No resignation or removal of the Trustee shall become effective until the appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this
Section 6.08 and that meets the criteria set forth in Section 6.11 has become effective. The Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the Issuer, the Noteholders, the Trust Depositor and the Servicer. The Majority
Noteholders or the Issuer, with the written consent of the Majority Noteholders, may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and the Rating Agencies in writing. The Issuer shall remove the Trustee if: 
 (i) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 6.11; 
 (ii) the Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent; 
 (iii) a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; 
 (iv) the Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting; or 
 (v) the Trustee defaults in any of its obligations under the Transaction Documents and such default is not cured within 30
days after a Responsible Officer of the Trustee receives written notice of such default. 
  

 57 








 If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any
reason (the Trustee in such event being referred to herein as the retiring Trustee), the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee. 
 A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Issuer. Upon the appointment becoming effective, the resignation or removal of the retiring
Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. No successor Trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 6.08 unless at the time
of such appointment becoming effective such Person shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 6.11. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property (including all Indenture Collateral) held by it as Trustee to the
successor Trustee and shall execute and deliver such instruments and such other documents as may reasonably be required to more fully and certainly vest and confirm in the successor Trustee all such rights, powers, duties and obligations.

 If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring
Trustee, the Issuer or the Majority Noteholders may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee. 
 Notwithstanding the replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 6.08, the Issuer’s obligations under Section 6.07 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring
Trustee. 
 Upon the appointment of a successor Trustee as provided in this Section 6.08, the successor Trustee
shall mail notice of such succession hereunder at the expense of the Issuer to all Holders of Notes at their addresses as shown in the Note Register. 
 Section 6.09. Successor Trustee by Merger. 
 If the Trustee
consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all its corporate trust business or assets to, another corporation or banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation without any further act shall
be the successor Trustee; provided that such corporation or banking association shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under Section 6.11. The Trustee shall provide the Rating Agencies prior written notice of any such transaction.

 In case at the time such successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation to the Trustee shall succeed to the
trusts created by this Indenture any of the Notes shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor trustee, and deliver such Notes so authenticated; and
in case at that time any of the Notes shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Notes either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor to the Trustee; and in all such cases
such certificates shall have the full force which it is anywhere provided for in the Notes or in this Indenture. 
  

 58 








 Section 6.10. Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee. 
 (a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirement of any
jurisdiction in which any part of the Indenture Collateral may at the time be located, the Trustee shall have the power and may execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons to act as a co-trustee or co-trustees, or separate
trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Indenture Collateral, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the Noteholders, such interest to the Indenture Collateral, or any part hereof, and, subject
to the other provisions of this Section 6.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of
eligibility as a successor Trustee under Section 6.11 and no notice to the Noteholders of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required under Section 6.08 hereof. No appointment of a co-trustee or a
separate trustee shall relieve the Trustee of its duties and obligations hereunder. 
 (b) Every separate trustee and co-trustee
shall, to the extent permitted by law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and conditions: 
 (i) all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the 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 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 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 Indenture Collateral or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and
performed singly by such separate trustee or co-trustee, but solely at the direction of the Trustee; 
 (ii) no
trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder; and 
 (iii) the Trustee 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 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 Indenture and the conditions of this Article VI. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its instrument of
appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Indenture, specifically including every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of,
or affording protection to, the Trustee. Every such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee. 
 (d) Any separate trustee or
co-trustee may at any time constitute the Trustee, its agent or attorney-in-fact with full power and authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this Indenture on its behalf and in its name. If any
separate trustee or co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the
appointment of a new or successor trustee. 
  

 59

doing business under the laws of any state or the United States, (ii) be authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, (iii) have a combined capital and surplus of at least $200,000,000, (iv) have unsecured and
unguaranteed long-term debt obligations rated at least Baa3 by Moody’s and BBB- by S&P, and (v) be subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority. If such banking association publishes reports of condition at least
annually, pursuant to Applicable Law or the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 6.11 its combined capital and surplus shall be deemed to be as set forth in its most
recent report of condition so published. In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.11, the Trustee shall give prompt notice to the Issuer, the Trust Depositor, the
Servicer, the Noteholders and the Rating Agencies that it has so ceased to be eligible to be the Trustee. 
 Section 6.12.
Representations, Warranties and Covenants of U.S. Bank and the Trustee. 
 Each of U.S. Bank and the Trustee, as
applicable, hereby makes the following representations, warranties and covenants on which the Issuer, the Trust Depositor, the Servicer and the Noteholders shall rely:

any Noteholder or (B) cause the Issuer to be subject to an entity level tax or be classified as a taxable mortgage pool within the meaning of Section 7701(i) of the Code (which Opinion of Counsel may rely upon an Officer’s Certificate
of the Servicer with respect to the effect of any such amendment on the economic interests of any Noteholder) and (ii) the Moody’s Rating Condition is satisfied.

 66 








 Section 9.02. Supplemental Indentures With Consent of Noteholders. 

(a) Except as provided in Section 9.02(b), the Issuer and the Trustee, when authorized by an Issuer Order, also may, with
prior notice to the Rating Agencies and the Servicer and with the consent of a majority of the Outstanding Principal Balance of each Class of Notes materially and adversely affected thereby (and, in any case, with prior notice to all Noteholders),
enter into a supplemental indenture for the purpose of adding any provisions to, or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of, this Indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Notes under this
Indenture; provided that the Issuer shall only enter into a supplemental indenture in compliance with Section 4.01(c) of the Trust Agreement and Section 9.06 hereof. 
 (b) No supplemental indenture shall, without the consent of the Holder of each Note adversely affected thereby: 
 (i) change the Stated Maturity or the due date of any payment of principal of or interest, as applicable, on any Note, reduce
the principal amount of any Note or any rate of interest or the portion of the Refinancing Price or of the Redemption Price payable to the Holders of the Rated Notes, change the earliest date on which any Note may be redeemed or refinanced, change
the provisions of this Indenture relating to the application of proceeds of any Loan Assets to the payment of principal, interest or of distributions pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement, change any place where, or the coin or currency in

is required for any such supplemental indenture, or the consent of the Holders of which is required for any waiver of compliance with any provision of this Indenture or defaults hereunder and their consequences provided for in this Indenture;

 (v) modify any provision of this Section 9.02 except to increase any percentage specified herein or to provide
that certain additional provisions of this Indenture or the other Transaction Documents cannot be modified or waived without the consent of the Holder of each Note affected thereby; or

provided by the lien of this Indenture.

 (c) The Trustee may in its discretion determine whether or not any Notes would be materially
adversely affected by any supplemental indenture and any such determination shall be conclusive upon the Holders of all Notes, whether theretofore or thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder. The Trustee shall not be liable for any such
determination made in good faith. The Trustee may also rely in good faith upon an Opinion of Counsel (which Opinion of Counsel may rely on an Officer’s Certificate of the Servicer with respect to the effect of any such supplemental indenture on
the economic interests of any Noteholder) as to whether such supplemental indenture will materially adversely affect any Holder of Notes or the Servicer. 
 (d) Prior to entering into any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Section 9.02, the Issuer and Trustee shall obtain written confirmation from Moody’s that entry by the Issuer and

Servicer (on behalf of the Issuer) cannot otherwise be obtained with respect to any proposed supplemental indenture pursuant to this Section 9.02, such amendment may become effective with the consent of each Holder of a Rated Note. It
shall not be necessary for any Act of Noteholders under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such Act shall approve the substance thereof.

Trustee shall mail to the Rating Agencies, the Servicer and the Holders of the Notes to which such amendment or supplemental indenture relates a copy of such supplemental indenture or a notice setting forth in general terms the substance of such
supplemental indenture. Any failure of the Trustee to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture. 
 Section 9.03. Execution of Supplemental Indentures. 
 In executing, or permitting the additional trusts created by, any supplemental indenture permitted by this Article IX or the
modification thereby of the trusts created by this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and subject to Sections 6.01 and 6.02, shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution
of such supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture, which Opinion of Counsel may rely upon an Officer’s Certificate of the Servicer with respect to the effect of any such supplemental indenture on the economic interests
of the Holders of the Notes. The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such supplemental indenture that affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties, liabilities or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise. The Trustee
shall provide copies of each supplemental indenture to the Rating Agencies. 
 Section 9.04. Effect of Supplemental
Indenture.

of rights, obligations, duties, liabilities and immunities under this Indenture of the Trustee, the Issuer and the Noteholders shall thereafter be determined, exercised and enforced hereunder
subject in all respects to such modifications and amendments, and all the terms and conditions of any such supplemental indenture shall be and be deemed to be part of the terms and conditions of this Indenture for any and all purposes. 

Section 9.05. Reference in Notes to Supplemental Indentures. 
 Notes authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Article IX may, and if required by the
Trustee shall, bear a notation in form approved by the Trustee as to any matter provided for in such supplemental indenture. If the Issuer or the Trustee shall so determine, new Notes so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Trustee and the
Issuer, to any such supplemental indenture may be prepared and executed by the Issuer and authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in exchange for Outstanding Notes. 
 Section 9.06. Consent of the Servicer. 
 The Issuer agrees that it
will not permit to become effective any supplemental indenture that adversely affects the obligations or rights of the Servicer or the amount or priority or payment of any fees or other amounts payable to the Servicer unless, in each such case, the
Servicer has been given prior written notice of such supplemental indenture and has consented thereto in writing.

 Section 10.01. Optional Redemption. 
 (a) The Issuer may, at the direction of the Holder of at least 66-2/3% of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Subordinated Notes, effect an Optional Redemption, in whole but not in part, on any

deposit in full of the Redemption Price in the Note Distribution Account for distribution to the Holders of the Rated Notes and other persons entitled thereto, in connection with which the Issuer shall comply with the provisions of this
Section 10.01 and Section 10.04. The Servicer or the Issuer will furnish notice of such election to the Trustee, the Owner Trustee and the Rating Agencies no later than ten Business Days prior to the proposed Redemption Date
and, provided that sufficient funds are received by the Servicer, the Servicer on behalf of the Issuer shall deposit in the Note Distribution Account an amount equal to the Redemption Price of the Notes to be redeemed on the Redemption Date.

 (b) The Notes to be redeemed shall, following delivery of a notice of an Optional Redemption complying with
Section 10.04, on the Redemption Date become due and payable at the Redemption Price with respect thereto and (unless such Redemption Price is not paid) no interest shall accrue on such Redemption Price for any period after the date to
which accrued interest is calculated for purposes of calculating the Redemption Price. On the Redemption Date, upon deposit in full by the Servicer in the Note Distribution

  

 69 








 
Account of an amount equal to the Redemption Price, the Indenture Collateral (other than the Transaction Accounts) shall cease to constitute assets of the Issuer and the Noteholders shall have no
interest therein nor any claim to any distributions in respect of the Indenture Collateral (other than the Transaction Accounts). 
 (c) The portion of the Redemption Price constituting payment of principal and Noteholder Make-Whole (if any) of the Rated Notes shall be distributed to Noteholders in accordance with Section 7.05(b) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement

the Servicer or an Affiliate of the Servicer, such Loan may only be sold to such person for a price at least equal to the price established by an Applicable Qualified Valuation.

proposed Redemption Date set forth in any prior notice of Optional Redemption by providing written notice to the Trustee, the Owner Trustee and the Rating Agencies by no later than the second Business Day preceding such Redemption Date. A withdrawal
of such notice of Optional Redemption or the inability of the Issuer to complete an Optional Redemption of the Rated Notes will not constitute an Event of Default. 
 Section 10.02. Refinancing. 
 (a) The Issuer may, at the direction
of the Holder of at least 66-2/3% of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Subordinated Notes, effect a Refinancing, in whole but not in part, on any Refinancing Date occurring after the end of the Non-Call Period (such Refinancing Date shall be
a Distribution Date to be specified in a notice to be delivered to the Issuer and the Trustee at least 15 Business Days prior to such Refinancing Date) by deposit in full of the Refinancing Price in the Note Distribution Account for distribution to
the Rated Notes and the other Persons entitled thereto, in connection with which, the Issuer shall comply with the provisions of this Section 10.02, Section 10.03 and Section 10.04. 
 (b) Any Refinancing shall be permitted only in connection with an issuance of additional notes (such notes, the “Replacement
Notes”), the proceeds of which will be used to fully prepay all Classes of Rated Notes. Upon receipt of a notice of Refinancing, the Servicer will cause the Issuer to issue and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Issuer Order,
authenticate and deliver Replacement Notes having the terms, priorities and conditions set forth in a supplemental indenture to this Indenture approved by the Holder of at least 66-2/3% of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Subordinated Notes
and approved by the Servicer. No Refinancing shall be permitted hereunder unless, after giving effect thereto, the Refinancing Price shall be paid in full. 
 (c) The portion of the Refinancing Price constituting payment of principal and Noteholder Make-Whole (if any) of the Rated Notes shall be distributed to Noteholders in accordance with Section 7.05(b)
of the Sale and Servicing Agreement and all other

amounts included in the Refinancing Price shall be distributed in accordance with Section 7.05(a) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement; provided that prior to making any payment to the
Certificateholder thereunder, any remaining Refinancing Price shall first be applied to reduce the Subordinated Notes to zero. 
 Section 10.03. Form of Refinancing Notice. 
 Notice of a Refinancing will be given by the Issuer or the
Servicer to the Trustee, the Owner Trustee and the Rating Agencies not less than ten Business Days prior to the proposed Refinancing Date. The Issuer or the Servicer will have the option to withdraw any notice of Refinancing at any time prior to the
scheduled Refinancing Date by providing written notice to the Trustee, the Servicer, the Owner Trustee and the Rating Agencies by no later than the second Business Day preceding the proposed Refinancing Date. A withdrawal of such notice of
Refinancing or the inability of the Issuer to complete Refinancing of the Rated Notes will not constitute an Event of Default. 
 Section 10.04. Form of Redemption or Refinancing Notice by Trustee. 
 (a) Notice of redemption under
Section 10.01 or refinancing under Section 10.02 shall be given by the Trustee by facsimile, electronic mail, overnight courier or by first-class mail, postage prepaid, transmitted or mailed prior to the applicable Redemption
Date or Refinancing Date, as applicable, to each Holder of Notes, as of the close of business on the Record Date preceding the applicable Redemption Date or Refinancing Date, as applicable, at such Holder’s address appearing in the Note
Register. In addition, for so long as any Offered Notes are listed on the Irish Stock Exchange and so long as the rules of such exchange so require, notice of an Optional Redemption or a Refinancing will also be given by the Trustee to the Irish
Paying Agent for delivery to the Irish Stock Exchange. 
 (b) All notices of redemption or refinancing shall state: 

(i) the Redemption Date or Refinancing Date, as applicable; 
 (ii) the Redemption Price or Refinancing Price, as applicable; 
 (iii) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Redemption Date or Refinancing Date, as applicable, is not applicable
and that, unless waived by the Issuer, payments shall be made only upon presentation and surrender of such Notes and the place where such Notes are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price or Refinancing Price with respect thereto, as
applicable (which shall be the office or agency of the Issuer to be maintained as provided in Section 3.02); and 
 (iv) that interest on the Notes shall cease to accrue on the Redemption Date or Refinancing Date, as applicable; provided that the Redemption or the Refinancing, as applicable, occurs on such date.

 (c) Notice of redemption or refinancing of the Notes shall be given by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the
Issuer. Failure to give notice of redemption or refinancing, or any defect therein, to any Holder of any Note shall not impair or affect the validity of the redemption or refinancing of any other Note.

Confidentiality. 
 (a) No Receiving Party shall use any Confidential Information except to the extent necessary to
evaluate and monitor the transaction represented by the Transaction Documents. Each Receiving Party agrees (and each Holder of a Note is deemed to agree) that it will make available Confidential Information only to (i) its officers, employees,
directors, affiliates, advisors, agents, shareholders, members, partners and managers who have a need to know such Confidential Information for the purpose of evaluating or monitoring the transaction, (ii) its accounting firms and legal counsel
(and their respective officers, employees, directors, agents, affiliates and advisors) and (iii) any prospective purchasers of a Note, in each case who have need to know such Confidential Information for the purposes of evaluating or monitoring
the transaction (collectively, “representatives”), and that all persons to whom such Confidential Information is made available will be made aware of the confidential nature of such Confidential Information and agree to be bound by
the restrictions imposed by this Indenture on the use of Confidential Information. This Section 11.01 shall constitute a confidentiality agreement for purposes of Regulation FD under the Exchange Act. 
 (b) No Receiving Party or any of its representatives will disclose any Confidential Information to any third party, except as may be
required by law or expressly permitted pursuant to this Section 11.01. 
 (c) Each Receiving Party acknowledges and
agrees that the breach or threatened breach of this Section 11.01 by it may result in irreparable and continuing damage to the Disclosing Parties, for which there will be no adequate remedy at law. Accordingly, each Receiving Party
agrees that the Disclosing Parties shall be entitled, without prejudice, to all the rights and remedies available to each of them, including an injunction or specific performance to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of any of the provisions of
this Indenture by an action instituted in a court having proper jurisdiction. 
 (d) The confidentiality provisions of this
Section 11.01 shall remain in effect for a period commencing on the date hereof and end two years after the Stated Maturity. 
 (e) If any Receiving Party or any of its affiliates or representatives is required by legal process to disclose any of the Confidential Information, such Receiving Party shall provide the Disclosing
Parties with notice of such requirement so that the Disclosing Parties may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy or waive compliance with the provisions of this Indenture. If a protective order or other remedy is not obtained, such
Receiving Party, its affiliates and representatives may, without violating this Indenture, disclose that portion of the Confidential Information that such party is legally required to disclose.

 Section 11.02. Form of Documents Delivered to Trustee. 
 In any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary
that all such matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more
other such Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents. 
 Any certificate or opinion of a Responsible Officer of the Issuer may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, counsel, unless such
officer knows that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which the certificate or opinion is based are erroneous. Any such certificate of a Responsible Officer or Opinion of Counsel may be based, insofar as
it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, an officer or officers of the Servicer, the Issuer, the Trust Depositor, or any other appropriate Person, stating that the information with respect to such
factual matters is in the possession of the Servicer, the Issuer, the Trust Depositor or such other Person, unless such counsel knows that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such matters are erroneous. 
 Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or
other instruments under this Indenture, they may, but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument. 
 Whenever in this
Indenture, in connection with any application or certificate or report to the Trustee, it is provided that the Issuer shall deliver any document as a condition of the granting of such application, or as evidence of the Issuer’s compliance with
any term hereof, it is intended that the truth and accuracy in all material respects, at the time of the granting of such application or at the effective date of such certificate or report (as the case may be), of the facts and opinions stated in
such document shall in such case be conditions precedent to the right of the Issuer to have such application granted or to the sufficiency of such certificate or report. The foregoing shall not, however, be construed to affect the Trustee’s
right to rely upon the truth and accuracy of any statement or opinion contained in any such document as provided in Article VI. 
 Section 11.03. Acts of Noteholders. 
 (a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Noteholders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Noteholders in person or by agents duly
appointed in writing; and except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee, and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Issuer. Such instrument
or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Noteholders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing
appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 6.01) conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Issuer, if made in the manner provided in this Section 11.03.

  

 73 








 (b) The fact and date of the execution by any person of any such instrument or writing may
be proved in any manner that the Trustee deems sufficient. 
 (c) The ownership of Notes shall be proved by the Note Register;
provided that in all cases except where otherwise required by law or regulation, any act by a Holder of a Note may be taken by the Beneficial Owner of such Note. 
 (d) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action by the Holder of any Notes shall bind the Holder of every Note issued upon the registration thereof or in
exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee or the Issuer in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Note. 
 Section 11.04. Notices, etc., to Trustee and Others. 
 (a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Noteholders or other documents provided or permitted by
this Indenture shall be in writing and if such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Noteholders is to be made upon, given or furnished to or filed with:

furnished in writing to the Issuer or the Trustee by the Irish Paying Agent; 
 (b) Notices required to be given to the Rating

Department, 7 World Trade Center, 250 Greenwich Street, New York, New York 10007, cdomonitoring@moodys.com; or as to each of the foregoing, at such other address as shall be designated by written notice to the other parties; provided that no notice
shall be required to be given to Moody’s unless a Class of Outstanding Notes is rated by Moody’s. 
 (c) Delivery of
any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Noteholders or other documents made as provided above will be deemed effective: (i) if in writing and delivered in Person or by overnight courier service, on the
date it is delivered; (ii) if sent by facsimile transmission, on the date that transmission is received by the recipient in legible form (it being agreed that the burden of proving receipt will be on the sender and will not be met by a
transmission report generated by the sender’s facsimile machine); (iii) if sent by mail, on the date that mail is delivered or its delivery is attempted; and (iv) if sent by email, on the date of transmission; in each case, unless the
date of that delivery (or attempted delivery) or that receipt, as applicable, is not a Business Day or that communication is delivered (or attempted) or received, as applicable, after the close of business on a Business Day, in which case that
communication shall be deemed given and effective on the first following day that is a Business Day. 
 Section 11.05.
Notices to Noteholders; Waiver. 
 Where this Indenture provides for notice to Noteholders of any event, such notice
shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, by nationally recognized overnight courier or by first-class, postage prepaid to each Noteholder affected by such event, at his address as it appears
on the Note Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, if any, prescribed for the giving of such notice. In any case where notice to Noteholders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice nor any
defect in any notice so mailed to any particular Noteholder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Noteholders, and any notice that is mailed in the manner herein provided shall conclusively be presumed to have been duly
given. 
  

 75 








 Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing
by any Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Noteholders shall be filed with the Trustee but such filing shall not be a condition
precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such a waiver. 
 In case, by reason of the suspension of regular
mail service as a result of a strike, work stoppage or similar activity, it shall be impractical to mail notice of any event to Noteholders when such notice is required to be given pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, then any manner of
giving such notice as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee shall be deemed to be a sufficient giving of such notice. 
 Where
this Indenture provides for notice to the Rating Agencies, failure to give such notice shall not affect any other rights or obligations created hereunder, and shall not under any circumstance constitute an Event of Default. 
 In addition, for so long as any Class of Notes is listed on the Irish Stock Exchange and so long as the rules of such stock exchange so
require, notices to the Holders of such Notes shall be given by publication in the Official List by the Irish Listing Agent. 
 Section 11.06. Alternate Payment and Notice Provisions. 
 Notwithstanding any provision of this
Indenture or any of the Notes to the contrary, the Issuer may enter into any agreement with any Holder of a Note providing for a method of payment, or notice by the Trustee or any Paying Agent to such Holder, that is different from the methods
provided for in this Indenture for such payments or notices. The Issuer will furnish to the Trustee a copy of each such agreement and the Trustee, at the expense of the Issuer, will cause payments to be made and notices to be given in accordance
with such agreements. 
 Section 11.07. Effect of Headings. 
 The Article and Section headings herein are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof. 
 Section 11.08. Successors and Assigns. 
 All covenants and agreements in this Indenture and the Notes by the Issuer shall bind its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not. All agreements of the Trustee in this Indenture shall bind
its successors, co-trustees and agents. 
 Section 11.09. Severability. 
 In case any provision in this Indenture or in the Notes shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality, and
enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. 
  

 76 








 Section 11.10. Benefits of Indenture. 
 Nothing in this Indenture or in the Notes, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and their successors
hereunder, and the Noteholders, and any other party secured hereunder, and any other Person with an ownership interest in any part of the Indenture Collateral, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture.

 Section 11.11. Legal Holidays. 
 In any case where the date on which any payment is due shall not be a Business Day, then (notwithstanding any other provision of the Notes or this Indenture) payment need not be made on such date, but may
be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the date on which nominally due, and no interest shall accrue for the period from and after any such nominal date. 
 Section 11.12. GOVERNING LAW. 
 (a) THIS INDENTURE, EACH SUPPLEMENT AND THE NOTES SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS, AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS
AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS. 
 (b) EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES,
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS INDENTURE. Each party hereto (i) certifies that no
representative, agent or attorney of any other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and (ii) acknowledges that it and the other parties
hereto have been induced to enter into this Indenture by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this Section 11.12(b). 
 Section 11.13. Counterparts. 
 This Indenture may be executed in any
number of counterparts (including by facsimile), each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. 
 Section 11.14. Issuer Obligation. 
 No recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Trustee on the Notes or under this Indenture or any of the other Transaction
Documents or any certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith or therewith, against (i) the Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, (ii) any of the Trust Depositor, the Originator, the Servicer and any
holder of a Trust Certificate or (iii) any partner, owner, beneficiary, stockholder, manager, member, officer, director, employee or agent of any of the parties identified in clauses (i) and (ii) or of any successor or

  

 77 








 
assign of any such Person. For all purposes of this Indenture, in the performance of any duties or obligations of the Issuer hereunder, the Owner Trustee and the Trust Company shall be subject
to, and entitled to the benefits of, the terms and provisions of the Trust Agreement. 
 Section 11.15. No Petition;
Limited Recourse. 
 (a) The Trustee, by entering into this Indenture, and each Noteholder, by accepting a Note, hereby
covenant and agree that they will not prior to the date which is one year and one day or, if longer, the preference period then in effect after payment in full of each Class of Notes rated by any Rating Agency, institute against the Trust Depositor
or the Issuer, or join in any institution against the Trust Depositor or the Issuer of, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, or other proceedings under any United States federal or state bankruptcy or
similar law in connection with any obligations relating to the Notes, this Indenture or any of the other Transaction Documents. 
 (b) Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Notes, this Indenture or any other Transaction Document, the obligations of the Issuer under the Notes and this Indenture and any other Transaction Document are limited recourse obligations of
the Issuer payable solely from the Indenture Collateral in accordance with the Priority of Payments and, following realization of the Indenture Collateral and distribution in accordance with the Priority of Payments, any claims of the Noteholders,
and any other parties to any Transaction Document shall be extinguished. No recourse shall be had against any officer, administrator, member, director, employee, security holder, holder of a beneficial interest in or incorporator of the Issuer or
their respective successors or assigns for the payment of any amounts payable under the Notes, this Indenture or any other Transaction Document. It is understood that the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.15(b) shall not
(i) prevent recourse to the Loan Assets or the Indenture Collateral for the sums due or to become due under any security, instrument or agreement which is part of the Loan Assets or the Indenture Collateral or (ii) constitute a waiver,
release or discharge of any indebtedness or obligation evidenced by the Notes or secured by this Indenture or payable under any other Transaction Document until such Loan Assets and such Indenture Collateral have been realized and distributed in
accordance with the Priority of Payments and the other applicable provisions of the Transaction Documents, whereupon any such outstanding indebtedness or obligation shall be extinguished. 
 Section 11.16. Inspection; Confidentiality. 
 The Issuer agrees that, on reasonable prior notice, it will permit any representative of the Trustee, during the Issuer’s normal business hours, and in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere
with the Issuer’s normal operations, to examine all the books of account, records, reports and other papers of the Issuer, to make copies and extracts therefrom, to cause such books to be audited by Independent certified public accountants, and
to discuss the Issuer’s affairs, finances and accounts with the Issuer’s officers, employees, and Independent certified public accountants, all at such reasonable times, in such reasonable manner, and as often as may be reasonably
requested. The Trustee shall and shall cause its representatives, its legal counsel and its auditors to hold in confidence all such information except to the extent disclosure may be required by law (and all reasonable applications for confidential
treatment are unavailing) and except to the extent that the Trustee may reasonably determine that such disclosure is consistent with its obligations hereunder and under Applicable Law. 
  

 78 








 Section 11.17. Limitation of Liability. 
 It is expressly understood and agreed by the parties hereto that (i) this Indenture is executed and delivered by Wilmington Trust
Company, not individually or personally but solely as Owner Trustee on behalf of the Issuer under the Trust Agreement, in the exercise of the powers and authority conferred and vested in it, (ii) each of the representations, undertakings and
agreements herein made on the part of the Issuer is made and intended not as personal representations, undertakings and agreements by Wilmington Trust Company but is made and intended for the purpose of binding only the Issuer, (iii) nothing
herein contained shall be construed as creating any liability on Wilmington Trust Company individually or personally, to perform any covenant either expressed or implied contained herein, all such liability, if any, being expressly waived by the
parties to this Indenture and by any person claiming by, through or under them and (iv) under no circumstances shall Wilmington Trust Company be personally liable for the payment of any indebtedness or expenses of the Issuer or be liable for
the breach or failure of any obligation, representation, warranty or covenant made or undertaking by the Issuer under this Indenture or any related documents. 
 Section 11.18. Disclaimer. 
 Each Noteholder by accepting a Note and
by accepting the benefits of this Indenture acknowledges and agrees that this Indenture and the Notes represent a debt obligation of the Issuer only and do not represent an interest in any assets (other than the Indenture Collateral) of the Trust
Depositor or any holder of a Trust Certificate (including by virtue of any deficiency claim in respect of obligations not paid or otherwise satisfied from the Trust Assets and proceeds thereof).
