shall have the right to inspect the Note Register at all reasonable times and to obtain copies thereof, and the Trustee shall have the right to rely upon a certificate executed on behalf of the Transfer Agent and Registrar by a Responsible 

  

 42 








 
Officer thereof as to the names and addresses of the Holders of the Notes and the principal amounts and number of such Notes. If any form of Note is issued
as a Global Note, the Trustee may, or if and so long as any Series of Notes are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, and such exchange shall so require, the Trustee shall appoint a co-transfer agent and co-registrar in Luxembourg or another
European city. Any reference in this Master Trust Indenture to the Transfer Agent and Registrar shall include any co-transfer agent and co-registrar unless the context otherwise requires. The Trustee shall be permitted to resign as Transfer Agent
and Registrar upon 30 days’ written notice to the Issuer and the Notice Persons of each Series. In the event that the Trustee shall no longer be the Transfer Agent and Registrar, the Issuer, with the consent of the Required Persons for such
Series, shall appoint a successor Transfer Agent and Registrar. 
  

 43 








 (ii) Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note at any office or agency of the Transfer
Agent and Registrar if the requirements of Section 8-401(1) of the UCC are met, the Issuer shall execute, subject to the provisions of Section 2.5(c), and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver and the Noteholder shall obtain
from the Trustee, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes in authorized denominations of like aggregate principal amount; provided, that the provisions of this paragraph shall not apply to Bearer Notes.

 (iii) All Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes shall be valid obligations of the Issuer, evidencing the
same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. 
 (iv) At the option of a Noteholder, Notes may be exchanged for other Notes of the same Series of the same Class in authorized denominations of like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at any office or
agency of the Transfer Agent and Registrar maintained for such purpose. At the option of any Holder of Registered Notes, Registered Notes may be exchanged for other Registered Notes of the same Series of the same Class in authorized denominations of
like aggregate principal amounts, upon surrender of the Registered Notes to be exchanged at any office or agency of the Transfer Agent and Registrar maintained for such purpose. Registered Notes may not be exchanged for Bearer Notes. At the option
of any Holder of Bearer Notes, subject to applicable laws and regulations (including without limitation, the Bearer Rules), Bearer Notes may be exchanged for other Bearer Notes or, unless otherwise specified in the related Series Supplement,
Registered Notes of the same Series of the same Class in authorized denominations of like aggregate principal amounts, in the manner specified in the Series Supplement for such Series, upon surrender of the Bearer Notes to be exchanged at an office
or agency of the Transfer Agent and Registrar located outside the United States. Each Bearer Note surrendered pursuant to this Section 2.5 shall have attached thereto (or be accompanied by) all unmatured Coupons; provided, that
any Bearer Note so surrendered after the close of business on the Record Date preceding the relevant Payment Date after the related Series Termination Date need not have attached the Coupons relating to such Payment Date. 
 (v) Whenever any Notes of any Series are so surrendered for exchange, if the requirements of Section 8-401(1) of the UCC are met the Issuer shall
execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and (unless the Transfer Agent and Registrar is different than the Trustee, in which case the Transfer Agent and Registrar shall) deliver and the Noteholders shall obtain from the Trustee, the Notes of such
Series which the Noteholder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Every Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in a form satisfactory to the Trustee and
the Transfer Agent and Registrar duly executed by the Noteholder thereof or his attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing. 
 (vi) The
preceding provisions of this Section 2.5 notwithstanding, the Trustee or the Transfer Agent and Registrar, as the case may be, shall not be required to register the exchange of any Global Note of any Series for a Definitive Note or the


  

 44 








 
transfer of or exchange any Note of any Series for a period of five (5) Business Days preceding the due date for any payment with respect to the Notes
of such Series or during the period beginning on any Record Date and ending on the next following Payment Date. 
 (vii) Unless otherwise
provided in the related Series Supplement, no service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, but the Transfer Agent and Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge
that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Notes. 
 (viii) All Notes (together with any Coupons attached to Bearer
Notes) surrendered for registration of transfer and exchange shall be canceled by the Transfer Agent and Registrar and disposed of in a manner satisfactory to the Trustee. The Trustee shall cancel and destroy any Global Note upon its exchange in
full for Definitive Notes and shall deliver a certificate of destruction to the Issuer. Such certificate shall also state that a certificate or certificates of each Foreign Clearing Agency to the effect referred to in Section 2.17(b) was
received with respect to each portion of the Global Note exchanged for Definitive Notes. 
 (ix) Upon written direction, the Issuer shall
deliver to the Trustee or the Transfer Agent and Registrar, as applicable, Bearer Notes and Registered Notes in such amounts and at such times as are necessary to enable the Trustee to fulfill its responsibilities under this Indenture and the Notes.

 (x) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.5, a Global Note for any Series may be transferred, in whole but
not in part, only to another nominee of the Clearing Agency or Foreign Clearing Agency for such Series, or to a successor Clearing Agency or Foreign Clearing Agency for such Series selected or approved by the Issuer or to a nominee of such successor
Clearing Agency or Foreign Clearing Agency, in each case if in accordance with this Section 2.5. 
 (xi) If the Notes are listed
on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, the Trustee or the Luxembourg Agent, as the case may be, shall send to the Issuer upon any transfer or exchange of any Note information reflected in the copy of the register for the Notes maintained by the Registrar
or the Luxembourg Agent, as the case may be. 
 (xii) By its acceptance of a Note, each Noteholder and Note Owner shall be deemed to have
represented and warranted that either (i) it is not acquiring the Note with the assets of a benefit plan subject to Section 4975 of the Code, or (ii) its purchase and holding of the Note will not, throughout the term of its holding an
interest therein, constitute a non-exempt “prohibited transaction” under Section 406(a) of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code. 
 (b) Unless otherwise provided in the related Series Supplement, registration of transfer of Registered Notes containing a legend relating to the restrictions on transfer of such Registered Notes (which legend shall be set forth in the
Series Supplement relating to such Notes) shall be effected only if the conditions set forth in such related Series Supplement are satisfied. 
  

 45 








 Whenever a Registered Note containing the legend set forth in the related Series Supplement is presented
to the Transfer Agent and Registrar for registration of transfer, the Transfer Agent and Registrar shall promptly seek instructions from the Issuer regarding such transfer. The Transfer Agent and Registrar and the Trustee shall be entitled to
receive written instructions signed by a Responsible Officer prior to registering any such transfer or authenticating new Registered Notes, as the case may be. 
 (c) The Transfer Agent and Registrar will maintain at its expense in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York (and subject to this Section 2.5, if specified in the related Series Supplement for any
Series, any other city designated in such Series Supplement) an office or offices or an agency or agencies where Notes of such Series may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange (except that Bearer Notes may not be surrendered for
exchange at any such office or agency in the United States, but may be surrendered for exchange at such office or agency outside the United States as shall be specified in the related Supplement). For purposes of this Section 2.5,
“United States” includes Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, the Northern Mariana Islands, Guam, Wake Island and American Samoa. 
 Section 2.6 Appointment of Paying Agent. 
 The Paying Agent shall make payments to the Secured Parties from the
appropriate account or accounts maintained for the benefit of the Secured Parties as specified in this Master Trust Indenture or the related Series Supplement for any Series pursuant to ARTICLE 5 and ARTICLE 6. Any Paying Agent shall
have the revocable power to withdraw funds from such appropriate account or accounts for the purpose of making distributions referred to above. The Trustee (or the Master Trust Administrator on behalf of the Issuer if the Trustee is the Paying
Agent) may revoke such power and remove the Paying Agent, if the Trustee (or the Master Trust Administrator on behalf of the Issuer if the Trustee is the Paying Agent) determines in its sole discretion that the Paying Agent shall have failed to
perform its obligations under this Indenture in any material respect or for other good cause. The Trustee (or the Master Trust Administrator on behalf of the Issuer if the Trustee is the Paying Agent) shall notify Moody’s and
Standard & Poor’s of the removal of any Paying Agent. The Paying Agent, unless the Series Supplement with respect to any Series states otherwise, shall initially be the Trustee. The Trustee shall be permitted to resign as Paying Agent
upon 30 days’ written notice to the Master Trust Administrator on behalf of the Issuer. In the event that the Trustee shall no longer be the Paying Agent, the Trustee shall appoint a successor to act as Paying Agent (which shall be a bank or
trust company). 
 If specified in the related Series Supplement for any Series, so long as the Notes of such Series are outstanding, the
Issuer shall maintain a co-paying agent in New York City (for Registered Notes only) or any other city designated in such Series Supplement which, if and so long as any Series of Notes is listed on a stock exchange and such exchange so requires,
shall be the location required by such stock exchange. Any reference in this Master Trust Indenture to the Paying Agent shall include any co-paying agent unless the context requires otherwise. 
  

 46 








 Section 2.7 Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust. 
 (a) The Trustee will cause each Paying Agent (other than itself) to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall
agree with the Trustee (and if the Trustee acts as Paying Agent, it hereby so agrees), subject to the provisions of this Section, that such Paying Agent will: 
 (i) hold all sums held by it for the payment of amounts due with respect to the Issuer Obligations in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise
disposed of as herein provided and pay such sums to such Persons as herein provided; 
 (ii) give the Trustee written notice of any default
by the Issuer (or any other obligor under the Issuer Obligations) of which it (or, in the case of the Trustee, a Trust Officer) has actual knowledge in the making of any payment required to be made with respect to the Notes; 
 (iii) at any time during the continuance of any such default, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held in
trust by such Paying Agent; 
 (iv) immediately resign as a Paying Agent and forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums held by it in trust for
the payment of the Issuer Obligations if at any time it ceases to meet the standards required to be met by a Trustee hereunder at the time of its appointment; and 
 (v) comply with all requirements of the Code with respect to the withholding from any payments made by it on any Issuer Obligations of any applicable withholding taxes imposed thereon and with respect to any
applicable reporting requirements in connection therewith. 
 (b) The Issuer may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction
and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, by Issuer Order direct any Paying Agent to pay to the Trustee all sums held in trust by such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which the
sums were held by such Paying Agent; and upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money. 
 (c) Subject to applicable laws with respect to escheat of funds, any money held by the Trustee, any Paying Agent or any Clearing Agency in trust for the
payment of any amount due with respect to any Issuer Obligation and remaining unclaimed for two years after such amount has become due and payable shall be discharged from such trust and be paid to the Issuer on Issuer Request; and the holder of
such Issuer Obligation 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, such Paying Agent or such
Clearing 

  

 47 








 
Agency with respect to such trust money shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee, such Paying Agent or such Clearing Agency,
before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Issuer cause to be published once, in a newspaper published in the English language, customarily published on each Business Day and of general circulation in New York City
and, if the related Series of Notes has been listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, and if the Luxembourg Stock Exchange so requires, in a newspaper customarily published on each Luxembourg business day and of general circulation in Luxembourg
City, Luxembourg, 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. The Trustee may also adopt and employ, at the reasonable expense of the Issuer, any other reasonable means of notification of such repayment. 
 Section 2.8 Private Placement Legend. 
 Unless otherwise provided for in a Series Supplement, in
addition to any legend required by Section 2.15, each Note shall bear a legend in substantially the following form: 
 THIS NOTE
HAS NOT BEEN AND WILL NOT BE REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”) OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. THIS NOTE MAY BE RESOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED ONLY (1) TO A
PERSON THE TRANSFEROR REASONABLY BELIEVES IS A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER (AS DEFINED IN RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT (“RULE 144A”)) IN A TRANSACTION MEETING THE REQUIREMENTS OF RULE 144A, OR (2) IN A TRANSACTION OTHERWISE
EXEMPT FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES AND ANY OTHER JURISDICTION AND BASED ON AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IF THE ISSUER AND THE TRANSFER AGENT AND REGISTRAR SO
REQUEST, IN EACH CASE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INDENTURE AND ALL APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. THE HOLDER WILL, AND EACH SUBSEQUENT HOLDER IS REQUIRED TO, NOTIFY ANY TRANSFEREE FROM IT OF THE
RESALE RESTRICTIONS SET FORTH ABOVE. 
 THE ISSUER WILL BE RELYING ON THE EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT OF
1940, AS AMENDED (THE “INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT”), PROVIDED BY SECTION 3(C)(7) THEREOF, CONSEQUENTLY, THIS NOTE MAY ONLY BE OWNED BY AND TRANSFERRED TO “QUALIFIED PURCHASERS” WITHIN THE MEANING OF SECTION 3(C)(7) OF THE INVESTMENT
COMPANY ACT. OFFERS TO PURCHASE, AND SUBSEQUENT TRANSFERS, WILL BE SUBJECT TO THE FOREGOING RESTRICTION, AND THE 

  

 48 








 
ABILITY OF THE HOLDER OF THIS NOTE TO RESELL OR OTHERWISE TRANSFER THIS NOTE (OR ANY INTEREST HEREIN) MAY THEREFORE BE LIMITED. NO SALE OR OTHER TRANSFER OF
THIS NOTE WILL BE PERMITTED WHICH WOULD REQUIRE THE ISSUER TO REGISTER UNDER THE INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT OR TO REGISTER THIS NOTE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR WHICH WOULD RESULT IN A VIOLATION OF ANY FEDERAL OR STATE SECURITIES LAW OR REGULATION.
TRANSFERS MADE IN VIOLATION OF THE TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS IN THE INDENTURE AND ALL OTHER RELEVANT TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS WILL BE NULL AND VOID AB INITIO. 
 Section 2.9 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes. 
 (a) If (i) any mutilated Note
(together, in the case of Bearer Notes, with all unmatured Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto) is surrendered to the Transfer Agent and Registrar, or the Transfer Agent and Registrar receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss
or theft of any Note, and (ii) there is delivered to the Transfer Agent and Registrar and the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to hold the Transfer Agent and Registrar and the Trustee harmless then, in the absence
of notice to the Trustee that such Note has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and (unless the Transfer Agent and Registrar is different from the Trustee, in which case the Transfer
Agent and Registrar shall) deliver (in compliance with applicable law), in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a replacement Note of like tenor and aggregate principal balance; provided,
however, that if any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, but not a mutilated Note, shall have become or within seven days shall be due and payable or shall have been called for redemption, instead of issuing a replacement Note, the Issuer
may pay such destroyed, lost or stolen Note when so due or payable 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 bona fide purchaser for value 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 bona fide purchaser for value, 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. 
 (b) Upon the issuance of any replacement Note under this Section 2.9, the Transfer Agent and Registrar or the
Trustee 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
and the Transfer Agent and Registrar) connected therewith. 
  

 49 








 (c) Any duplicate Note issued pursuant to this Section 2.9 shall constitute complete and
indefeasible evidence of contractual debt obligation of the Issuer, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Note shall be found at any time. 
 (d) Every replacement Note issued pursuant to this Section 2.9 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.

 (e) The provisions of this Section 2.9 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies
with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes. 
 Section 2.10 Temporary Notes.

 (a) Pending the preparation of Definitive Notes, the Issuer may request and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Issuer Order, shall
authenticate and deliver temporary Notes of such Series. Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of Definitive Notes of like Series and Class but may have variations that are not inconsistent with the terms of this Indenture as the
officers executing such Notes may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Notes. 
 (b) If temporary Notes are issued pursuant to
Section 2.10(a) above, the Issuer will cause Definitive Notes to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of Definitive Notes, the temporary Notes shall be exchangeable for Definitive Notes upon surrender of the
temporary Notes at the office or agency of the Issuer to be maintained as provided in Section 8.2, without charge to the Noteholder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Notes, the Issuer shall execute and at the
Issuer’s request the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of Definitive Notes of the same Series and Class of authorized denominations. Until so exchanged, the temporary Notes shall in all respects
be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as Definitive Notes.

presentation of a Note for registration of transfer, the Servicer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Transfer Agent and Registrar and any agent of any of them may treat a Person in whose name any Note is registered (as of any date of determination)
as the owner of the related Note for the purpose of receiving payments of principal and interest, if any, on such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever whether or not such Note be overdue, and neither the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Transfer
Agent and Registrar nor any agent of any of them shall be affected by any notice to the contrary; provided, however, that in determining whether the requisite number of Holders of Notes have given any request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent or waiver hereunder (including under any Series Supplement), Notes owned by any of the Issuer, BWF, BCC, the Servicer or any Affiliate of BCC or by any agent of the Issuer, BWF, BCC or the Servicer shall be disregarded and
deemed not to be outstanding, except that, in determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying upon any such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver, only Notes which a Trust Officer in the Corporate Trust
Office of the Trustee knows to be so owned shall be so disregarded. 
  

 50 








 In the case of a Bearer Note, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Transfer Agent and Registrar and any
agent of any of them may treat the holder of a Bearer Note or Coupon as the owner of such Bearer Note or Coupon for the purpose of receiving distributions and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Transfer
Agent and Registrar nor any agent of any of them shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. 
 Section 2.12 Cancellation.
All Notes surrendered for payment, registration of transfer, exchange or redemption shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee and shall be promptly canceled by the Trustee. The Issuer may at any time
deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Issuer may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Notes so delivered shall be promptly canceled by the Trustee. No Notes shall be
authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Notes canceled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All canceled Notes may be held or disposed of by the Trustee in accordance with its standard retention or
disposal policy as in effect at the time unless the Issuer shall direct by an Issuer Order that they be destroyed or returned to it; provided, that such Issuer Order is timely and the Notes have not been previously disposed of by the Trustee.
The Registrar and Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. 
 Section 2.13 Release of Trust Estate. The Trustee shall (a) in connection with any removal of any Removed Loans from the Trust Estate, release the portion of the Trust Estate constituting such Removed Loans and any Related
Security related thereto from the Lien created by this Master Trust Indenture upon receipt of a Brooke Officer’s Certificate certifying that the purchase price with respect thereto (in an amount equal to the Unpaid Principal Balance of such
Removed Loan, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon) have been deposited into the Collection Account and (b) on or after the Indenture Termination Date (i) release any remaining portion of the Trust Estate from the Lien created
by this Indenture and (ii) deposit in the Collection Account any funds then on deposit in any other Trust Account in the case of each of the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) upon receipt of an Issuer Request accompanied by a Brooke
Officer’s Certificate, and Independent Certificates (if this Indenture is required to be qualified under the TIA) in accordance with TIA Sections 314(c) and 314(d)(1) meeting the applicable requirements of Section 16.1. 

Section 2.14 Payment of Principal and Interest.

Issuer on any Settlement Date for such Note shall be payable to the Person in whose name such Note is registered at the close of business on the Record Date with respect to such Payment Date and such Person shall be entitled to receive the principal
and interest payable on such Payment Date notwithstanding the cancellation of such Note upon any registration of transfer, exchange or substitution of such Note subsequent to such 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 or, if such Person has provided the Trustee wiring instructions at least three (3) Business Days prior to such Payment Date, then by wire transfer in immediately
available funds to the account designated by the Holder of such Note by the time specified in the Series Supplement, except that (i) unless Definitive Notes have been issued pursuant to Section 2.17, with respect to Notes registered
on the Record Date in the name of the nominee of the Clearing Agency (initially, such nominee to be Cede & Co.), payment will be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account designated by such nominee and
(ii) the final installment of principal payable with respect to such Note on a Payment Date or on the Legal Final Payment Date (and except for the Redemption Price for any Note called for redemption pursuant to Section 15.1) shall
be payable as provided herein; except that, any interest payable at maturity shall be paid to the Person to whom the principal of such Note is payable. The funds represented by any such checks returned undelivered shall be held in accordance with
Section 2.7. 
 Section 2.15 Book-Entry Notes. 
 (a) If provided in the related Series Supplement, the Notes of such Series (for a Class thereof), upon original issuance, shall be issued in the form of
Book-Entry Notes, which shall be represented in one or more Global Notes, to be delivered to the depository specified in such Series Supplement (the “Depository,”) which shall be the Clearing Agency or Foreign Clearing Agency, by or
on behalf of such Series. Unless otherwise provided in a related Series Supplement, no Note Owner of Notes issued as Book-Entry Notes will receive a definitive note representing such Note Owner’s interest in the related Series of Notes, except
as provided in Section 2.17. 
 (b) For each Series or Class of Notes to be issued as Book-Entry Notes, the Issuer shall duly
execute, and the Trustee shall, in accordance with Section 2.3 hereof, authenticate and deliver one or more Global Notes that shall be registered on the Note Register in the name of a Clearing Agency or Foreign Clearing Agency or such
Clearing Agency’s or Foreign Clearing Agency’s nominee. Each Global Note registered in the name of DTC or its nominee 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 BROOKE MASTER TRUST LLC OR ITS AGENT FOR REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER, EXCHANGE OR PAYMENT, AND ANY NOTE ISSUED IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF CEDE & CO. (“CEDE”) OR SUCH OTHER NAME AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF
DTC (AND ANY PAYMENT HEREON IS MADE TO CEDE OR TO SUCH OTHER ENTITY AS 

  

 52 








 
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 SINCE
THE REGISTERED OWNER HEREOF, CEDE, HAS AN INTEREST HEREIN. 
 So long as the Clearing Agency or Foreign Clearing Agency or its nominee is the
registered owner or holder of a Global Note, the Clearing Agency or Foreign Clearing Agency or its nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole owner or Holder of the Notes represented by such Global Note for purposes of this Indenture
and such Notes. Members of, or participants in, the Clearing Agency or Foreign Clearing Agency shall have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by the Clearing Agency or Foreign Clearing Agency, and the
Clearing Agency or Foreign Clearing Agency may be treated by the Issuer, the Trustee, any Agent and any agent of such entities as the absolute owner of such Global Note for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall
prevent the Issuer, the Trustee, any Agent and any agent of such entities from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Clearing Agency or Foreign Clearing Agency or impair, as between the Clearing
Agency or Foreign Clearing Agency and its agent members, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder of any Note. 
 (c) Title to a Global Note shall pass only by registration in the Note Register maintained by the Transfer Agent and Registrar pursuant to Section 2.5. 
 (d) Any Global Note or Global Notes shall provide that they represent the aggregate or a specified amount of outstanding Notes from time to time endorsed
thereon and may also provide that the aggregate amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby may from time to time be increased or reduced to reflect exchanges. Any endorsement of a Global Note or Global Notes to reflect the amount, or any
increase or decrease in the amount, or changes in the rights of Note Owners represented thereby, shall be made in such manner and by such Person or Persons as shall be specified therein or in the Issuer Order to be delivered to the Trustee pursuant
to Section 2.3(b). The Trustee shall deliver and redeliver any Global Note or Global Notes in the manner and upon instructions given by the Person or Persons specified therein or in the applicable Issuer Order. Any instructions by the
Issuer with respect to endorsement or delivery or redelivery of a Global Note or Global Notes shall be in writing but need not comply with Section 14.3 hereof and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel. 
 (e) Unless and until definitive, fully registered Notes of any Series or any Class thereof (“Definitive Notes”) have been issued to Note
Owners with respect to any Series or Class of Notes initially issued as Book-Entry Notes pursuant to Section 2.17 or the applicable Series Supplement: 
 (i) the provisions of this Section 2.15 shall be in full force and effect with respect to each such Series; 
  

 53 








 (ii) the Issuer, BWF, BCC, the Servicer, the Paying Agent, the Transfer Agent and Registrar and the
Trustee may deal with the Clearing Agency or Foreign Clearing Agency and the Clearing Agency Participants for all purposes of this Master Trust Indenture (including the making of payments on the Notes of each such Series and the giving of
instructions or directions hereunder) as the authorized representatives of such Note Owners; 
 (iii) to the extent that the provisions of
this Section 2.15 conflicts with any other provisions of this Master Trust Indenture, the provisions of this Section 2.15 shall control; 
 (iv) whenever this Indenture requires or permits actions to be taken based upon instructions or directions of Holders of such Series of Notes evidencing a specified percentage of the outstanding principal amount of
such Series of Notes, the Clearing Agency or Foreign Clearing Agency, as applicable, shall be deemed to represent such percentage only to the extent that it has received instructions to such effect from Note Owners and/or their related Clearing
Agency Participants owning or representing, respectively, such required percentage of the beneficial interest in such Series of Notes and has delivered such instructions to the Trustee; 
 (v) the rights of Note Owners of each such Series shall be exercised only through the Clearing Agency or Foreign Clearing Agency and their related
Clearing Agency Participants and shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such Note Owners and the related Clearing Agency or Foreign Clearing Agency and/or the Clearing Agency Participants. Pursuant to the Depository
Agreement applicable to a Series, unless and until Definitive Notes of such Series are issued pursuant to Section 2.17, the applicable Clearing Agencies or Foreign Clearing Agencies will make book-entry transfers among their related
Clearing Agency Participants and receive and transmit payments of principal and interest on such Series of Notes to such Clearing Agency Participants; and 
 (vi) Note Owners may receive copies of any reports sent to Noteholders of the relevant Series generally pursuant to the Indenture, upon written request, together with a certification that they are Note Owners and
payments of reproduction and postage expenses associated with the distribution of such reports, from the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office. 
 Section 2.16 Notices to Clearing Agency. Whenever notice or other communication to the Noteholders is required under this Indenture, unless and until Definitive Notes shall have been issued to Note Owners pursuant to
Section 2.17, with respect to any Series or Class of Notes initially issued as Book-Entry Notes, or the applicable Series Supplement, the Trustee shall give all such notices and communications specified herein to be given to Holders of
the Notes of such Series or Class to the applicable Clearing Agency or Foreign Clearing Agency for distribution to the Holders of such Notes. 
  

 54 








 Section 2.17 Definitive Notes. 
 (a) Conditions for Exchange. If with respect to any Series or Class of Book Entry Notes (i) (1) the Issuer advises the Trustee in writing
that the applicable Clearing Agency or Foreign Clearing Agency is no longer willing or able to discharge properly its responsibilities under the applicable Depository Agreement and (2) neither the Trustee nor the Issuer is able to locate a
qualified successor, (ii) the Issuer, at its option, advises the Trustee in writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry system through the Clearing Agency or Foreign Clearing Agency or (iii) after the occurrence of a Servicer
Termination Event, Subservicer Default, or Event of Default, Note Owners of such Series holding Book-Entry Notes aggregating not less than 50% (or such other percent specified in a related Series Supplement) of the portion of outstanding principal
amount of the Notes represented by such Series advise the Trustee and the applicable Clearing Agency or Foreign Clearing Agency through the applicable Clearing Agency Participants in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system through the
applicable Clearing Agency or Foreign Clearing Agency is no longer in the best interests of the Note Owners of such Series or Class, the Trustee shall notify all Note Owners of such Series or Class, through the applicable Clearing Agency
Participants, of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of Definitive Notes to Note Owners of such Series or Class requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Trustee of the typewritten Note or Notes representing the Book-Entry
Notes of such Series or Class by the applicable Clearing Agency or Foreign Clearing Agency, accompanied by registration instructions from the applicable Clearing Agency or Foreign Clearing Agency for registration, the Trustee shall issue the
Definitive Notes of such Series or Class. Neither the Issuer nor the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of
Definitive Notes of such Series and upon the issuance of any Series of Notes or any Class thereof in definitive form in accordance with the related Series Supplement, all references herein to obligations imposed upon or to be performed by the
applicable Clearing Agency or Foreign Clearing Agency shall be deemed to be imposed upon and performed by the Trustee, to the extent applicable with respect to such Definitive Notes, and the Trustee shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive
Notes of such Series or Classes as Noteholders of such Series or Classes hereunder. Notwithstanding anything in this Master Trust Indenture to the contrary, Definitive Notes shall not be issued in respect of any Series Temporary Regulation S Global
Note unless the applicable Restricted Period has expired and then only upon receipt by the Trustee from the Holder thereof of any certifications required by the relevant Series Supplement. 
 (b) Transfer of Definitive Notes. Subject to the terms of this Master Trust Indenture (including the requirements of any relevant Series
Supplement), the Holder of any Definitive Note may transfer the same, in whole or in part, in an amount equivalent to an authorized denomination, by surrendering at the office maintained by the Transfer Agent and Registrar for such purpose in the
Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, such Note with the form of transfer endorsed on it duly completed and executed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Transfer Agent and Registrar
by, the Holder thereof and, if applicable, accompanied by a certificate substantially in the form required under the related Series Supplement. In exchange for any Definitive Note properly presented for transfer, the Issuer shall execute and the
Trustee shall promptly authenticate and deliver or cause to be executed, authenticated and delivered in compliance with applicable law, to the transferee at such office, or 

  

 55 








 
send by mail (at the risk of the transferee) to such address as the transferee may request, Definitive Notes for the same aggregate principal amount as was
transferred. In the case of the transfer of any Definitive Note in part, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall promptly authenticate and deliver or cause to be authenticated and delivered to the transferor at such office, or send by mail
(at the risk of the transferor) to such address as the transferor may request, Definitive Notes for the aggregate principal amount that was not transferred. No transfer of any Definitive Note shall be made unless the request for such transfer is
made by the Holder at such office. Neither the Issuer nor the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of transfer instructions and each may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of
Definitive Notes for such Series, the Trustee shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Notes as Noteholders of such Series. 
 Section 2.18 Global Note, Euro-Note Exchange Date. If specified in the related Series Supplement for any Series, (i) the Notes may be initially issued in the form of a single temporary global note (the “Global
Note”) in registered or bearer form, without interest coupons, in the denomination of the initial aggregate principal amount of the Notes and (ii) a Class of Notes may be issued in the form of a single temporary global note in
registered or bearer form, in the denomination of the portion of the initial aggregate principal amount of the Notes represented by such Class, each substantially in the form attached to the related Series Supplement. Unless otherwise specified in
the related Series Supplement, the provisions of this Section 2.18 shall apply to such Global Note. The Global Note will be authenticated by the Trustee upon the same conditions, in substantially the same manner and with the same effect
as the Definitive Notes. The Global Note may be exchanged in the manner described in the related Series Supplement for Registered Notes or Bearer Notes in definitive form. 
 Section 2.19 Tax Treatment. The Issuer has structured this Indenture, and the Notes have been (or will be) issued with the intention that,
the Notes will qualify under applicable tax law as indebtedness of the Issuer secured by all or a portion of the Trust Estate and any entity acquiring any direct or indirect interest in any Note by acceptance of its Notes (or, in the case of a Note
Owner, by virtue of such Note Owner’s acquisition of a beneficial interest therein) agrees to treat the Notes (or beneficial interests therein), for purposes of Federal, state and local and income or franchise taxes and any other tax imposed on
or measured by income, as indebtedness. Each Noteholder agrees that it will cause any Note Owner acquiring an interest in a Note through it to comply with this Indenture as to treatment as indebtedness for such tax purposes.

desire to communicate with other Noteholders of any Series with respect to their rights under this Indenture or under the Notes and is accompanied by a copy of the communication which such Applicants propose to transmit, then the Trustee, after

names and addresses of the Noteholders in accordance with this Section 4.2, regardless of the source from which such information was obtained.

 ARTICLE 5. 
 ALLOCATION AND
APPLICATION OF COLLECTIONS. 
 Section 5.1 Rights of Noteholders. Unless otherwise set forth in the applicable Series Supplement,
each Series of Notes shall be secured by one or more Asset Pools as set forth in the related Series Supplement, including the benefits of any Enhancement issued with respect to such Series and the right to receive the Collections and other amounts
at the times and in the amounts specified in this ARTICLE 5 to be deposited in the Investor Accounts and any other Series Account (if so specified in the related Series Supplement) or to be paid to the Noteholders of such Series. In no event
shall the grant of a security interest in the entire Trust Estate be deemed to entitle any Noteholder to receive Collections or other proceeds of the Trust Estate in excess of the amounts described in this ARTICLE 5 or receive the benefit of
Enhancement of any other Series. 
 Section 5.2 Collection of Money. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Trustee
may demand payment or delivery of, and shall receive and collect, directly and without intervention or assistance of any fiscal agent or other intermediary, all money and other property payable to or receivable by the Trustee pursuant to this
Indenture. The Trustee shall apply all such money received by it as provided in this Indenture. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Indenture, if any default occurs in the making of any payment or performance under any agreement or
instrument that is part of the Trust Estate, the Trustee may take such action as may be appropriate to enforce such payment or performance, including the institution and prosecution of appropriate Proceedings. Any such action shall be without
prejudice to any right to claim a Default, Event of Default, Pay Out Event of Potential Pay Out Event under this Indenture and any right to proceed thereafter as provided in ARTICLE 10 or ARTICLE 9. 
 Section 5.3 Establishment of Accounts. 
 (a) The Collection Account 
 (i) On or prior to the date hereof, the Issuer will enter into the Collection Account Agreement
pursuant to which the Issuer will establish a collection account with the Collection Account Bank, the number of which is 917994, and such account is (1) identified substantially as the “Brooke Master Trust Collection Account”,
(2) in the Issuer’s name, and (3) pledged, on a first-priority basis, to the Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties pursuant to the Granting Clause in this Master Trust Indenture and the Collection Account Agreement (such
account hereinafter referred to as the “Collection Account”). No funds other than Collections shall be deposited or transferred into the Collection Account. Until delivered to the Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties or
deposited in the Collection Account, all proceeds or collections of the Trust Estate shall be held in trust by the Issuer or the Servicer for the Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties and shall not (except to the extent permitted by the
Transaction 

  

 59 








 
Documents) be commingled with any funds or property of the Issuer or the Subservicer. Amounts deposited in the Collection Account and allocated to the Notes
issued under this Master Trust Indenture shall be invested in Permitted Investments at the direction of the Issuer, and all income received on such investments shall be treated in the same way as Collections. The Trustee shall not be responsible for
any losses in the Collection Account. Amounts on deposit in the Collection Account and allocated to the Notes issued under this Master Trust Indenture shall (i) be subject to withdrawal only by the Subservicer or the Collection Account Bank and
not by the Issuer, (ii) constitute proceeds of the Trust Estate and (iii) not constitute payment of any Issuer Obligation until applied in accordance with the terms of the Indenture. Finally collected funds from the Collection Account
shall be applied by the Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties to payment of the Issuer Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Indenture. 
 (ii) From and after receipt of written notice from the Required Persons of each Series directing it to do so after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default, the Issuer will deposit to
the Collection Account or, at the Trustee’s option, deliver to the Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties, all Collections and other rights to payment constituting all or a part of the Trust Estate, and all other cash proceeds of the
Trust Estate, which the Issuer or the Subservicer may receive directly, immediately upon receipt thereof, in the form received, except for the Issuer’s endorsement when deemed necessary. All items delivered to the Trustee for the benefit of the
Secured Parties or deposited in a Collection Account shall be subject to final payment. The Issuer shall be liable as an endorser on all items deposited in the Collection Account, whether or not in fact indorsed by the Issuer or by any other Brooke
Party. 
 (b) The Payment Accounts. Unless provided otherwise in a Series Supplement, the Issuer, for the benefit of the Secured
Parties of a Series of Notes, shall establish and maintain in the State of New York or in the city in which the Corporate Trust Office is located, with one or more Qualified Institutions, in the name of the Trustee, a non-interest bearing segregated
trust account (each, a “Payment Account” and collectively, the “Payment Accounts”) bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties
of such Series. The Trustee shall possess all right, title and interest in all funds on deposit from time to time in the Payment Accounts and in all proceeds thereof. The Payment Accounts shall be under the sole dominion and control of the Trustee
for the benefit of the Secured Parties of the applicable Series. 
 (c) Series Accounts. For each Series, the Issuer, for the benefit
of the Secured Parties of such Series, shall establish and maintain in the State of New York or in the city in which the Corporate Trust Office is located, with one or more Qualified Institutions, in the name of the Trustee, a non-interest bearing
segregated trust account (each, a “Series Account” and collectively, the “Series Accounts”) bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held in trust for the benefit of the Secured
Parties of such Series. The Trustee shall possess all right, title and interest in all funds on deposit from time to time in the Series Accounts and in all proceeds thereof. The Series Accounts shall be under the sole dominion and control of the
Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties of the applicable Series. 
  

 60 








 (d) Administration of the Collection Account and the Series Accounts. Funds on deposit in the
Collection Account and allocated to the Notes issued under this Indenture and the Series Accounts that are not both deposited and to be withdrawn on the same date shall be invested in Permitted Investments. Any such investment shall mature and such
funds shall be available for withdrawal on or prior to the Series Transfer Date related to the Settlement Period in which such funds were received or deposited, or if so specified in the related Series Supplement, immediately preceding a Payment
Date. The Trustee shall: (i) hold each Permitted Investment (other than such as are described in clause (c) of the definition thereof) that constitutes investment property through a securities intermediary, which securities intermediary
shall (1) agree that such investment property shall at all times be credited to a securities account of which the Trustee is the entitlement holder, (2) comply with entitlement orders originated by the Trustee without the further consent
of any other person or entity, (3) agree that all property credited to such securities account shall be treated as a financial asset, (4) waive any lien on, security interest in, or right of set-off with respect to any property credited to
such securities account, and (5) agree that its jurisdiction for purposes of Section 8-110, Section 9-305(a)(3)) of the UCC shall be New York, and that such agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York; and
(ii) maintain for the benefit of the Secured Parties, possession or control of each other Permitted Investment (including any negotiable instruments, if any, evidencing such Permitted Investments) not described in clause (i) above (other
than such as are described in clause (c) of the definition thereof); provided, that no Permitted Investment shall be disposed of prior to its maturity date if such disposition would result in a loss. Terms used in clause (i) above
that are defined in the New York UCC and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the New York UCC. At the end of each month, all interest and earnings (net of losses and investment expenses) on funds shall be deposited in
the Collection Account and the Series Accounts and treated as Investment Earnings. If at the end of a month losses and investment expenses on funds on deposit in the Collection Account or the Series Accounts exceed interest and earnings on such
funds during such month, losses and expenses to the extent of such excess will be allocated, with respect to any Series, among the Noteholders of such Series and the Issuer as provided in the related Series Supplement. Subject to the restrictions
set forth above, the Issuer, or a Person designated in writing by the Issuer Interest, of which the Trustee shall have received written notification thereof, shall have the authority to instruct the Trustee with respect to the investment of funds on
deposit in the Collection Account and allocated to the Notes issued under this Indenture and the Series Accounts. 
 (e) Qualified
Institution. If, at any time, the institution holding any account established pursuant to this Section 5.2 ceases to be a Qualified Institution, the Trustee shall notify each Rating Agency and within ten (10) Business Days
establish a new account or accounts, as the case may be, meeting the conditions specified above with a Qualified Institution, and shall transfer any cash or any investments to such new account or accounts, as the case may be. 
 Section 5.4 Collections and Allocations. 
 (a) Collections in General. Subject to the last paragraph of this Section 5.4, until this Indenture is terminated pursuant to Section 13.1, the Issuer shall or shall cause the Servicer under the Servicing
Agreement to cause all Collections due and to become due, as the case may be, to be paid directly into the Collection Account or deposited to the Collection Account as promptly as 

  

 61 








 
possible after the date of receipt of such Collections by the Servicer, but in no event later than the Business Day following such date of receipt. All
monies, instruments, cash and other Collections received by the Servicer in respect of the Trust Estate pursuant to this Indenture shall be deposited in the Collection Account as specified herein and shall be applied as provided in this ARTICLE
5 and in ARTICLE 6. 
 The Servicer shall calculate the Aggregate Series Collections for each Series of Notes and instruct the
Collection Account Bank to withdraw an amount equal to the calculated Aggregate Series Collections for each Series of Notes from the Collection Account and cause the Collection Bank to pay such amounts to each Series Account in accordance with this
ARTICLE 5, in both cases as modified by any Series Supplement. The Servicer shall cause such deposits or payments to be made on the date indicated therein by wire transfer or as otherwise provided in the Series Supplement for any Series of
Notes with respect to such Series. 
 (b) Adjustments to Issuer Interest. The Issuer shall cause the Servicer to deduct, on or prior
to each Determination Date, on a net basis for each Settlement Period from the aggregate amount of Principal Loan Receivables used to calculate the Issuer Interest in each Asset Pool the portion of each Principal Loan which is reduced by the
Servicer by any rebate, refund, chargeback or adjustment (including due to Servicer errors) made by the Servicer (a “Credit Adjustment”). 
 (c) Disqualification of Institution Maintaining Collection Account. Upon and after the establishment of a new Collection Account with a Qualified Institution, the Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited
all Collections as set forth in Section 5.3 into the new Collection Account, and in no such event shall deposit or cause to be deposited any Collections thereafter into any account established, held or maintained with the institution
formerly maintaining the Collection Account (unless it later becomes a Qualified Institution). Subject to Section 11.1(c), the Trustee shall not in any way be held liable by reason of any insufficiency in any of the Trust Estate
resulting from any loss on any Permitted Investment included therein except for losses attributable to the Trustee’s failure to make payments on such Permitted Investments issued by the Trustee, in its commercial capacity as principal obligor
and not as trustee, in accordance with their terms. 
 (d) Shared Collections. If, at any time, and in the manner described in the
related Series Supplement, Collections allocated to Principal Loan Receivables that are allocated to such Series are not needed to make payments to the Secured Parties of such Series or required to be deposited in a Payment Account for such Series
but are available to be paid to the Issuer, such Collections may be applied to cover payments due to or for the benefit of the Secured Parties of another Series (“Shared Collections”), unless at such time an OC Loan Facility is
outstanding that has not been paid in full. 
 The Master Trust Administrator shall inform the Trustee, the Servicer and the Noteholders that
Shared Collections are no longer available if payment obligations become due and payable under an OC Loan Facility that has been entered into by BCC with an OC Lender (“Shared Collection Suspension Event”). Following such
notification of the occurrence of a Shared Collection Suspension Event Shared Collections shall no longer be available for allocation to any Series effective for the next Settlement Period following the receipt of such written notice of the Master
Trust Administrator and for each Settlement Period thereafter; provided, that the 

  

 62 








 
Servicer shall have received such notice at least five (5) Business Days prior to the first day of such Settlement Period, and otherwise for the next
following Settlement Period. The suspension of Shared Collections shall be reflected in the Servicer’s Certificate. 
 The Master Trust
Administrator shall inform the Trustee, the Servicer and the Noteholders in writing within two (2) Business Days after all payment obligations under an OC Loan Facility have been fully paid and the date paid in full. In such notice the Master
Trust Administrator shall specify if other OC Loan Facilities are still outstanding or if all OC Loan Facilities have been paid in full. Upon receipt of a written notice from the Master Trust Administrator pursuant to which all outstanding OC
Facilities have been paid in full as of the final pay-off date in such notice (“Shared Collection Reinstatement Event”), Shared Collections shall be available again for allocation effective for the Settlement Period in which the
Master Trust Administrator notifies the Trustee and the Servicer of such Shared Collection Reinstatement Event. The Shared Collection Reinstatement Event shall be reflected in the Servicer’s Certificate. 
 Any such reallocation of Shared Collections will not result in a reduction in the Investor Interest of the Series to which such Collections were
initially allocated. 
 Section 5.5 Determination of Monthly Interest. Monthly interest with respect to each Series of Notes
shall be determined, allocated and distributed in accordance with the procedures set forth in the applicable Series Supplement. However, all interest with respect to any Series of Notes shall be due and payable no later than the Legal Final Payment
Date with respect to such Series. 
 Section 5.6 Determination of Monthly Principal. Monthly principal with respect to each
Series of Notes shall be determined, allocated and distributed in accordance with the procedures set forth in the applicable Series Supplement. However, all principal or interest with respect to any Series of Notes shall be due and payable no later
than the Legal Final Payment Date with respect to such Series. 
 Section 5.7 Release of Trust Estate. 
 (a) Subject to the payment of its fees and expenses pursuant to Section 11.6 and Section 11.7, the Trustee may, and when required
by the provisions of this Indenture and any of the Purchase Agreements, with respect to Removed Loans shall, execute instruments to release property from the lien of this Indenture, and convey the Trustee’s interest in the same, in a manner and
under circumstances that are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture. No party relying upon an instrument executed by the Trustee as provided in this ARTICLE 5 shall be bound to ascertain the Trustee’s authority, inquire
into the satisfaction of any conditions precedent or see to the application of any monies. 
 (b) As long as no Event of Default, Pay Out
Event or Series Pay Out Event has occurred and is continuing, BWF may, with respect to any Loan that has become a Defaulted Loan, in its sole discretion, elect to either (i) repurchase such Defaulted Loan from the Issuer for a price equal to
the amount otherwise required under Section 6(c)(i) of the Loan Purchase Agreement with respect to 

  

 63 








 
a Repurchased Loan or (ii) substitute one or more Loans for such Defaulted Loan. The aggregate Unpaid Principal Balance of the Loans for which a
repurchase or substitution has been made under this Section 5.7(b) (determined as of the respective dates of repurchase or substitution) may not exceed 10% of the aggregate Unpaid Principal Balance of the Loans of each Asset Pool as of
their respective Transfer Dates (as defined in the Loan Purchase Agreement). The Trustee shall release property from the lien of this Indenture pursuant to this Section 5.7(b) only upon receipt of an Issuer Request accompanied by a Tax
Opinion. 
 (c) The Trustee shall, at such time as there are no Notes outstanding and all sums due the Trustee pursuant to
Section 11.6 and Section 11.7 have been paid and all amounts owing to the Enhancement Providers, if any, and the other Secured Parties by the Issuer have been paid in full, release any remaining portion of the Trust Estate
that secured the Notes from the lien of this Indenture and release to the Issuer or any other Person entitled thereto any funds then on deposit in the Trust Accounts. The Trustee shall release property from the lien of this Indenture pursuant to
this Section 5.7 only upon receipt of an Issuer Request accompanied by a Brooke Officer’s Certificate, an Opinion of Counsel and (if this Indenture is required to be qualified under the TIA) Independent Certificates in accordance
with TIA Sections 314(c) and 314(d)(1) meeting the applicable requirements of Section 16.1.

 From the date hereof until the first day following the date on which all Issuer Obligations shall have been finally and
fully paid and performed, each of the Issuer, BWF, BCC and the Master Agent Servicer agrees on behalf of itself that it will (and, in the case of the Master Agent Servicer, that it will cause Master Agent to) perform and observe the covenants and
agreements set forth in this ARTICLE 8. 
 Section 8.1 Payment of Notes. The Issuer shall duly and punctually pay or cause

the Paying Agent holds on that date money designated for

interest and/or principal shall be considered as having been paid by the Issuer to such Noteholder for all purposes of this Indenture. 
 Section 8.2 Maintenance of Office or Agency. At all times from the date hereof to the Indenture Termination Date, unless the Required Persons of each Series shall otherwise consent in writing, the Issuer will maintain in the

to or upon the Issuer in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served, and where, at any time when the Issuer is obligated to make a payment of principal and premium upon the Notes, the Notes may be surrendered for payment. The Issuer
hereby initially appoints the Trustee to serve as its agent for the foregoing purposes. The Issuer will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Issuer
shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and the
Issuer hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all such surrenders, notices and demands. 
 The Issuer may also from time to time
designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations. The Issuer will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such
designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency. 
 The Issuer hereby designates the Corporate
Trust Office of the Trustee as one such office or agency of the Issuer.

Indenture Termination Date, unless the Required Persons of each applicable Series shall otherwise consent in writing, all payments of amounts due and payable with respect to any Notes that are to be made from amounts withdrawn from the applicable
Payment Account shall be made on behalf of the Issuer by the Trustee or by another Paying Agent, and no amounts so withdrawn from such Payment Account for payments of such Notes shall be paid to the Issuer except as provided in this Indenture.

 Section 8.4 Conduct of Business and Maintenance of Existence. At all times from the date hereof to the Indenture Termination
Date, unless the Required Persons of each Series shall otherwise consent in writing, except as otherwise permitted by the provisions of Section 8.27, the Issuer will keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a Delaware

the Trust Estate and each other instrument or agreement included in the Trust Estate. 
 Section 8.5 Protection of the Trust
Estate. At all times from the date hereof to the Indenture Termination Date, unless the Required Persons of each Series shall otherwise consent in writing, the Issuer intends the security interest granted pursuant to this Master Trust Indenture

days after the end of March and September of each year, beginning with March 31, 2008, and upon giving five (5) days prior written notice (i) examine and make copies of and abstracts from all books, records and documents (including,
without limitation, computer tapes and disks) in possession or under the control of BWF, the Issuer or the Subservicer relating to the Loans and the Loan Collateral, and (ii) may visit the offices and properties of BWF, the Issuer or the
Subservicer for the purpose of examining such materials, and discuss matters relating to the Loans or the performance hereunder with any of the officers or employees of BWF, the Issuer or the Subservicer having knowledge of such matters. The
Issuer will reimburse the Trustee for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in conducting such audits within 30 days after its receipt of a request and itemized invoice (and supporting receipts and other documentation) for such expenses, in
connection with these audits conducted each calendar year after the end of March and September by the Trustee (or the Trustee’s agents or representatives) for the benefit of the Noteholders and the other Secured Parties, pursuant to this
Section 8.28. 
 Section 8.29 Collections. 
 (a) Each Brooke Party shall, to the extent the Issuer has the right or obligation to do so pursuant to the Transaction Documents: 
 (i) instruct (A) each Brooke Insurance Agent to deposit all Collections received by it to the related Receipts Trust Account and (B) each
Funeral Home to deposit all Collections received by it to its designated operating account; 
  

 78 








 (ii) cause all Collections deposited in each Receipts Trust Account to be remitted to the Consolidation
Receipts Trust Account within one (1) Business Day after such deposit; 
 (iii) cause all Collections deposited in the Consolidation
Receipts Trust Account to be remitted to the Master Receipts Trust Account within two (2) Business Days after such deposit; 
 (iv)
cause all Collections deposited in the Master Receipts Trust Account to be remitted to the Collection Account within two (2) Business Days after such deposit pursuant to, and in accordance with, the Master Agent Security Agreement; 

(v) cause each Receipts Trust Account to be maintained solely in the name of Master Agent; and 
 (vi) cause the Master Receipts Trust Account and the Consolidation Receipts Trust Account to be subject at all times to a Trust Account Control
Agreement. 
 (b) If any Collections with respect to the Loans are received by any Brooke Party or any of their respective Affiliates, then
at all times prior to remittance thereof to the appropriate Trust Account, as the case may be, such Brooke Party or such Affiliate shall hold such Collections in trust, for the exclusive benefit of the Trustee on behalf of the Secured Parties.

 (c) The Subservicer and the Master Agent Servicer each agrees that it will use its best efforts (and will cause each of its Affiliates to
use their best efforts) not to permit any check or other funds to be deposited into any Trust Account other than: 
 (i) Collections on the
Trust Estate; and 
 (ii) collections on other loans remitted to a Trust Account, but only to the extent such collections are subject to a
Trust Account Intercreditor Agreement. 
 To the extent any such “Other Receipts” or other funds that are not Collections are deposited into any
Trust Account, the Master Agent Servicer shall promptly (and in any event within two (2) Business Days) identify such funds and cause such funds to be segregated from the Collections on the Trust Estate in accordance with the Master Agent
Security Agreement. To the extent any funds other than Collections are deposited into the Collection Account, the Subservicer shall promptly (and in any event within two (2) Business Days) identify such funds and notify BWF, the Servicer, the
Collection Account Bank and the Trustee of the same and the Servicer shall direct the Collection Account Bank to remit such funds to the Person entitled thereto. The Trustee may, on behalf of the Noteholders, at any time following the occurrence of
an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default that has been waived in 

  

 79 








 
writing by the Required Noteholders) request each Brooke Party to, and each Brooke Party thereupon promptly shall, direct all Obligors to remit all payments
with respect to Loans with respect thereto to a new depository account or lock-box specified by the Trustee (which new account shall, if so directed by the Trustee, be established in the Trustee’s own name for the benefit of the Secured
Parties). 
 (d) No Brooke Party will add or terminate any Trust Account relating to the Loans from those listed in the Schedule of Loans, or
make any change in its instructions to Obligors or insurance companies regarding payments to be made to any Brooke Party or payments to be made to any Trust Account, unless (i) the Trustee shall have received written notice of such addition,
termination or change together with an amended the Schedule of Loans and (ii) with respect to any change relating to the Consolidation Receipts Trust Account or the Master Receipts Trust Account, such change shall have been approved in writing
by the Required Noteholders. 
 Section 8.30 Ownership and Tax Classification. BCC will at all times directly own 100% of the
membership interests of BWF. If BCC desires to divest a portion of its ownership interest in BWF, it shall so notify the Trustee in writing with all applicable details of such proposed divestment. BWF will at all times directly own 100% of the
ownership interests in the Issuer. Each of BWF and the Issuer will at all time be entities the separate existence of which from BCC is disregarded for federal income tax purposes. 
 Section 8.31 Transaction Documents. No amendment or modification can be made to any Transaction Document without the prior written consent of
the Required Noteholders; provided, however, that the Trust Account Intercreditor Agreements may be amended to add additional creditors provided no other material changes are made to such agreements. 
 Section 8.32 Performance of Obligations; Servicing of Loans. At all times from the date hereof to the Indenture Termination Date, unless the
Required Noteholders shall otherwise consent in writing: 
 (a) The Issuer will not take any action and will use its best efforts not to
permit any action to be taken by others that would release any Person from any of such Person’s material covenants or obligations under any instrument or agreement included in the Trust Estate or that would result in the amendment,
hypothecation, subordination, termination or discharge of, or impair the validity or effectiveness of, any such instrument or agreement, except as ordered by any bankruptcy or other court or as expressly permitted or provided in this Indenture, the
Servicing Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or such other instrument or agreement. 
 (b) The Issuer may contract with other Persons
to assist it in performing its duties under the Indenture, and any performance of such duties by a Person identified to the Trustee in a Brooke Officer’s Certificate of the Issuer shall be deemed to be action taken by the Issuer. Initially, the
Issuer has contracted with the Servicer to assist the Issuer in performing its duties under this Indenture. 
 (c) The Issuer will punctually
perform and observe all of its obligations and agreements contained in the Indenture, the Transaction Documents and in the instruments and agreements included in the Trust Estate, including but not limited to preparing 

  

 80 








 
(or causing to be prepared) and filing (or causing to be filed) all UCC financing statements and continuation statements required to be filed by the terms of
the Indenture and the Servicing Agreement in accordance with and within the time periods provided for herein and therein. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or therein, the Issuer shall not waive, amend, modify, supplement or terminate
any Transaction Document or any provision thereof without the consent of the Required Persons of each Series. 
 (d) If a Responsible Officer
of the Issuer shall have actual knowledge of the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event or a Subservicer Default, the Issuer shall promptly notify the Trustee, and the Rating Agencies thereof in accordance with Section 16.4, and
shall specify in such notice the action, if any, the Issuer is taking in respect of such default. If a Servicer Termination Event or Subservicer Default shall arise from the failure of the Servicer or Subservicer to perform any of its respective
duties or obligations under the Servicing Agreement or the Subservicing Agreement, as applicable, the Issuer shall take all reasonable steps available to it to remedy such failure, including any action reasonably requested by the Trustee.

 (e) If the Trustee has given notice of termination to the Servicer of the Servicer’s rights and powers pursuant to
Section 6.2 of the Servicing Agreement, as promptly as possible thereafter, the Trustee shall appoint a successor servicer in accordance with Section 6.3 of the Servicing Agreement. 
 (f) The Issuer agrees that it will not waive timely performance or observance by the Servicer, BCC, or BWF of its respective duties under the Transaction
Documents if the effect thereof would adversely affect any of the Secured Parties. 
 (g) The Issuer shall take all actions reasonably
requested by the Trustee to enforce the Issuer’s rights and remedies under the Transaction Documents. 
 ARTICLE 9. 
 PAY OUT EVENTS 
 If any one of the following
events shall occur during the Revolving Period, the Accumulation Period, the Controlled Amortization Period or the Principal Amortization Period, with respect to any Series of Notes (each, a “Pay Out Event”): 
 (a) the Issuer or BWF shall have become an “investment company” or shall have become under the “control” of an “investment
company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended; 
 (b) any Servicer Termination Event shall occur; 
 (c) the Trustee shall, for any reason, fail or cease to have a valid and perfected first priority security interest in all or any portion of the Loans
and Related Security, and any other Issuer assets within the Trust Estate free and clear of any Adverse Claims (and, solely with respect to the Collections and proceeds with respect to the foregoing or other proceeds of any item of collateral
described above, to the extent provided in Section 9-306 of the UCC); or 
  

 81 








 (d) any other event shall occur which may be specified in any Series Supplement as a “Series Pay
Out Event”; 
 then, in the case of any event described in clause (a) through (c) above (collectively, an “Issuer Pay Out
Event”), a Pay Out Event with respect to all Series of Notes shall occur and unless otherwise specified in the related Series Supplement, in the case of any event described in clause (d) above, a Pay Out Event with respect to only
Notes of the related Series shall occur, in each case, unless otherwise specified in a related Series Supplement, without any notice or other action on the part of the Trustee or the affected Noteholders immediately upon the occurrence of such
event. Upon the occurrence of a Pay Out Event, the Rapid Amortization Period, or, if specified in a Series Supplement, the Rapid Accumulation Period will commence for each affected Series. 
 ARTICLE 10. 
 EVENTS OF DEFAULT AND REMEDIES 
 Section 10.1 Events of Default. An “Event of Default”, wherever used herein, means any one of the following events (whatever
the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental
body): 
 (a) the filing of a decree or order for relief by a court having jurisdiction in the premises in respect of the Issuer or any
substantial part of the Trust Estate in an involuntary case under any applicable Federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee,
sequestrator or similar official of the Issuer or for any substantial part of the Trust Estate, or ordering the winding-up or liquidation of the Issuer’s affairs, and such decree or order shall remain unstayed and in effect for a period of
sixty (60) consecutive days; 
 (b) the commencement by the Issuer of a voluntary case under any applicable Federal or state bankruptcy,
insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or the consent by the Issuer to the entry of an order for relief in an involuntary case under any such law, or the consent by the Issuer to the appointment of or taking possession by a
receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator or similar official of the Issuer or for any substantial part of the Trust Estate, or the making by the Issuer of any general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the failure by
the Issuer generally to pay its debts as such debts become due, or the taking of action by the Issuer in furtherance of any of the foregoing; or 
 (c) any event that constitutes a Issuer Pay Out Event. 
 Section 10.2 Rights Upon the Occurrence of an Event of
Default. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, (a) all outstanding principal amounts of all Notes of all Series shall be due and payable at par, together with accrued interest thereon, and all other Issuer Obligations under this
Indenture shall become immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest, or notice of any kind, (b) interest shall accrue at the Default Rate, and (c) if the Issuer fails to pay in full all such accrued interest, and all
other Obligations, the Trustee, on behalf of the Noteholders of each Series, shall have the right to exercise any of the following remedies in respect of the Loans: 
 (a) If and whenever an Event of Default (other than in clauses (b) and (c) of Section 10.1) shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee may, and, at the written direction of the Required
Noteholders shall, cause the principal amount of all Notes of all Series outstanding to be immediately due and payable at par, together with interest thereon. If an Event of Default with respect to the Issuer specified in clause (b) and
(c) of Section 10.1 shall occur, all unpaid principal of and accrued interest on all the Notes of all Series outstanding shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of
the Trustee or any Noteholder. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee may exercise from time to time any rights and remedies available to it under applicable law and Section 10.4. Any amounts obtained
by the Trustee on account of or as a result of the exercise by the Trustee of any right shall be held by the Trustee as additional collateral for the repayment of the Issuer Obligations and shall be applied as provided in ARTICLE 5 hereof. If
so specified in the applicable Series Supplement, the Trustee may agree to limit its exercise of rights and remedies available to it solely with respect to such Series as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default to the extent set forth
therein. 
  

 82 








 (b) The Trustee may terminate BCC as Master Trust Administrator and Subservicer and appoint a successor
Master Trust Administrator and an Eligible Servicer as successor Subservicer. 
 (c) The Trustee shall have, in addition to all the rights
and remedies provided herein and provided by applicable federal, state, foreign, and local laws (including the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC of any applicable state, to the extent that the UCC is applicable, and the right to
offset any mutual debt and claim), all rights and remedies available to the Trustee in law, in equity, or under any other agreement between the Trustee and the Issuer. 
 (d) In addition to all the rights and remedies conferred to the Trustee under this Master Trust Indenture or available to the Trustee in law, in equity, or under any other agreement between the Trustee and the Issuer,
upon occurrence of an Event of Default the Noteholders of each Series shall have the rights and remedies specified in the applicable Series Supplement. 
 Section 10.3 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 Note when the same becomes due and payable, and such default continues for a period of five days, or (ii) default is made in the payment of the principal of or any
installment of the principal of any Note when the same becomes due and payable, the Issuer will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes, the whole amount then due and payable on such Notes for principal
and interest, with interest upon the overdue principal, and, to the extent payment at such rate of interest shall be legally enforceable, upon overdue installments of interest, at the applicable Note Rate and in addition thereto such further amount
as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee and its agents and counsel. 
  

 83 








 (b) If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect
and enforce its rights and the rights of the Secured Parties 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. 
 (c) In any Proceedings brought by the Trustee (and also any proceedings involving the interpretation of any provision of this Indenture), the Trustee
shall be held to represent all the Secured Parties, and it shall not be necessary to make any such Person a party to any such proceedings. 
 (d) In case there shall be pending, relative to the Issuer or any other obligor upon the Notes or any Person having or claiming an ownership interest in the Trust Estate, 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 obligor or Person, or in case of any other comparable judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer or other obligor upon the Notes, or to the creditors or property of the Issuer or such other obligor, the
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, shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceedings or otherwise: 
 (i) to file and prove a claim
or claims for the whole amount of principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Notes and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the 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 expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and each predecessor
Trustee, except as a result of the Trustee’s negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct) and of the Secured Parties allowed in such proceedings; 
 (ii) unless prohibited by applicable law and regulations, to vote on behalf of the Secured Parties in any election of a trustee, a standby trustee or person performing similar functions in any such proceedings;

 (iii) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute all
amounts received with respect to the claims of the Secured Parties and of the Trustee on their behalf; and 
  

 84 








 (iv) to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or
advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee or the Secured Parties allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer, its creditors and its property; 
 and any trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official in any such proceeding is hereby authorized by each of such Secured Parties to make payments to the Trustee, and, in the event that the
Trustee shall consent to the making of payments directly to such Secured Parties, 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, bad faith or willful misconduct. 
 (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 Secured
Party any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Secured Party or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Secured Party 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 Master Trust 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 Secured Parties. 
 Section 10.4 Additional Remedies. If an Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee may do one or more of the following: 
 (a) institute Proceedings in its own name and as
trustee of an express trust for the collection of all amounts then payable under the Transaction Documents, enforce any judgment obtained, and collect from the Issuer and any other obligor under the Transaction Documents monies adjudged due;

 (b) institute Proceedings from time to time for the complete or partial foreclosure of this Indenture with respect to the Trust Estate;

 (c) subject to the limitations set forth in clause (d) below, 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 Secured Parties; and 
 (d) sell the Trust
Estate or any portion thereof or rights or interest therein, at one or more public or private sales called and conducted in any manner permitted by law; provided, however, that no Brooke Party shall have the right to buy the Trust
Estate or any portions hereof and provided further, that the Trustee may not sell or otherwise liquidate the Trust Estate following an Event of Default unless: 
 (i) the Holders of 100% of all of the outstanding Notes and, unless otherwise specified in the applicable Series Supplement, the
Enhancement Providers of each Series of all outstanding Series consent thereto, 
  

 85 








 (ii) the proceeds of such sale or liquidation allocated to a certain Asset Pool and
distributable to the Noteholders and Enhancement Providers of each Series are sufficient to discharge in full all amounts then due and unpaid with respect to all outstanding Notes and to the Enhancement Providers of all outstanding Series at such
date for principal and interest and any other amounts due Noteholders, or 
 (iii) the Trustee determines that the proceeds of
the respective Asset Pools will not continue to provide sufficient funds for the payment of principal of and interest on the outstanding Notes of all outstanding Series as such amounts would have become due if the Notes had not been declared due and
payable, and the Trustee obtains the consent of the Required Noteholders and the Enhancement Providers. 
 In determining such sufficiency or
insufficiency with respect to clauses (d)(ii) and (d)(iii), the Trustee may, but need not, obtain and rely upon an opinion of an Independent investment banking or accounting firm of national reputation as to the feasibility of such proposed action
and as to the sufficiency of the Loans in the Trust Estate for such purpose. 
 Section 10.5 Waiver of Past Events. If an Event
of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, prior to the declaration of the acceleration of the maturity of the Notes as provided in subsection 10.2., the Required Persons of each Series may waive any past Default or Event of Default and its
consequences except a Default in payment of principal (or premium, if any) of or interest on any of the Notes. 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 Default or impair any right consequent thereto. 
 Upon
any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist and be deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred, for every purpose of this
Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereto. 
 Section 10.6 Limitation on Suits. No Secured Party shall have any right to institute any Proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Master Trust Indenture and related Series Supplement, or for the appointment of a
receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless: 
 (i) such Secured Party previously has given written notice
to the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default; 
  

 86 








 (ii) the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes of all
affected Series 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; 
 (iii) such Secured Party has offered and, if requested, provided to the Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it 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) no direction inconsistent
with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Required Noteholders; 
 it being understood and intended that no
one or more Secured Parties 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 Secured Parties or to obtain or to seek to obtain
priority or preference over any other Secured Parties 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 Secured Parties, each representing less than the Required Noteholders, the Trustee shall proceed in accordance with the
request of the greater majority of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes, as determined by reference to such requests. 
 Section 10.7 Unconditional Rights of Holders to Receive Payment; Withholding Taxes. 
 (a) Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Indenture, the right of any Noteholder of a Note to receive payment of principal and interest, if any, on the Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Note or in this Indenture (or, in the case of redemption, on
or after the Redemption Date), or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, is absolute and unconditional and shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of the Noteholder. 
 (b) The Paying Agent shall (or if the Trustee is not the Paying Agent, the Trustee shall cause the Paying Agent to execute and deliver to the Trustee an
instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee that such Paying Agent shall) comply with all requirements of the Code regarding the withholding of payments in respect of Federal income taxes due from Noteholders and otherwise
comply with the provisions of this Indenture applicable to it. 
 Section 10.8 Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If 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. 
  

 87 








 Section 10.9 The Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. The Trustee is authorized to file such
proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and
counsel) and the Secured Parties allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer (or any other obligor upon the Notes), its creditors or its property, and shall be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or
other property payable or deliverable on any such claim and any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Secured Party to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making
of such payments directly to the Secured Parties, to pay the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due to the Trustee under
Section 11.6. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due to the Trustee under Section 11.6 out of the estate
in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, notes and other properties which the Secured Parties may be entitled to
receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any
Secured Party any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Noteholder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Noteholder in any such proceeding.

 Section 10.10 Priorities. Following the declaration of a Pay Out Event or an Event of Default pursuant to ARTICLE 9 or
Section 10.1, all amounts in any Payment Account, including any money or property collected pursuant to Section 10.3, shall be applied by the Trustee on the related Payment Date in accordance with the provisions of ARTICLE
5 and the applicable Series Supplement. 
 The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Secured Parties pursuant
to this Section. At least 15 days before such record date the Issuer shall send a written notice to each Secured Party and the Trustee that states the record date, the payment date and the amount to be paid. 
 Section 10.11 Undertaking for Costs. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Secured Party 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 shall not apply to (a) any suit instituted by the Trustee, (b) any suit instituted by any Noteholder, or group of Noteholders, in each case
holding in the aggregate more than 10% of the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Notes on the date of the filing of such action or (c) any suit instituted by any Noteholder for the enforcement 

  

 88 








 
of the payment of principal of or interest on any Note on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Note and in this Indenture (or, in the case of
redemption, on or after the Redemption Date). 
 Section 10.12 Rights and Remedies Cumulative. No right or remedy herein
conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Secured Parties 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 10.13 Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of the Trustee or any Secured Party to exercise
any right or remedy accruing upon any Default, Event of Default, Pay Out Event or Potential Pay Out Event shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Default, Event of Default, Pay-Out Event or Potential Pay-Out Event or
an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Section 10.13 or by law to the Trustee or to the Secured Parties may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Secured
Parties, as the case may be. 
 Section 10.14 Control by Noteholders. Subject to the terms of Section 10.4, the
Required Noteholders of any Series 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 such Series of 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; and 
 (ii) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such
direction; 
 provided, however, that, subject to Section 11.1, the Trustee need not take any action that it determines might
involve it in liability unless indemnified in accordance with Section 11.2(e) or might materially adversely affect the rights of any Noteholders not consenting to such action. 
 Section 10.15 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 10.16 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 

  

 89 








 
Indenture nor any rights or remedies of the Trustee or the Secured Parties 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 Trust Estate or upon any of the assets of the Issuer. 
 Section 10.17 Performance and Enforcement of Certain Obligations. 
 (a) Promptly following a request from the Trustee to
do so, the Issuer agrees to take all such lawful action as the Trustee or any Required Person may reasonably request to compel or secure the performance and observance by BWF, BCC and the Servicers, as applicable, of each of their obligations to the
Issuer under or in connection with the Transaction Documents in accordance with the terms thereof, and to exercise any and all rights, remedies, powers and privileges lawfully available to the Issuer under or in connection with the Transaction
Documents to the extent and in the manner directed by the Trustee or any Required Person, including the transmission of notices of default on the part of BCC, BWF or the Servicer thereunder and the institution of legal or administrative actions or
proceedings to compel or secure performance by BCC, BWF or the Servicer of each of their respective obligations under the Transaction Documents. 
 (b) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee may, and, at the direction (which direction shall be in writing) of the Required Noteholders shall, subject to Section 11.2(b), exercise all rights,
remedies, powers, privileges and claims of the Issuer against any Brooke Party or the Servicer under or in connection with the Transaction Documents, including the right or power to take any action to compel or secure performance or observance by
any Brooke Party or the Servicer of each of their obligations to the Issuer thereunder and to give any consent, request, notice, direction, approval, extension or waiver under the Transaction Documents, and any right of the Issuer to take such
action shall be suspended. 
 Section 10.18 Reassignment of Surplus. Promptly after termination of this Indenture and the payment
in full of the Issuer Obligations, any proceeds of all the Loans and other assets in the Trust Estate received or held by the Trustee shall be turned over to the Issuer and the Loans and other assets in the Trust Estate shall be released to the
Issuer by the Trustee without recourse to the Trustee and without any representations, warranties or agreements of any kind. 
 ARTICLE 11.

 THE TRUSTEE 
 Section 11.1 Duties of the Trustee. 
 (a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and of which a Trust
Officer of the Trustee has knowledge, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent individual would exercise or use under the
circumstances in the conduct of his or her own affairs; provided, however, that the Trustee shall have no liability in connection with any action or inaction taken, or not taken, by it upon the deemed occurrence of an Event of Default
of which a Trust Officer has not received written notice; and provided, further, that the preceding sentence shall not have the effect of insulating the Trustee from liability arising out of the Trustee’s negligence or willful
misconduct. 
  

 90 








 (b) Except during the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default: 
 (i) the Trustee undertakes to perform only those duties that are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no others, and no implied
covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and 
 (ii) in the absence of negligence and
bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this
Indenture; provided, however, in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall examine the certificates and opinions to determine
whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture and, if applicable, the Transaction Documents to which the Trustee is a party, provided, further, that the Trustee shall, absent manifest error, not be responsible for
the accuracy or content of any of the aforementioned documents and the Trustee shall have no obligation to verify or recompute any numeral information provided to it pursuant to the Transaction Documents. 
 (c) No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to
act, or its own willful misconduct or for the breach of the express terms of the Indenture, except that: 
 (i) this clause
does not limit the effect of clause (b) of this Section 11.1; 
 (ii) the Trustee shall not be personally
liable for any error of judgment made in good faith, unless it is proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; 
 (iii) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to Section 10.14; 
 (iv) the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any failure by the Servicer referred to in Section 5.1 of the
Servicing Agreement unless a Trust Officer of the Trustee obtains actual knowledge of such failure or the Trustee receives written notice of such failure from the Enhancement Provider, the Servicer or any Holders of Notes evidencing not less than
10% of the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Notes of any Series adversely affected thereby. 
  

 91 








 (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Indenture or any of the Transaction
Documents, no provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights and powers, if
there is reasonable ground (as determined by the Trustee in its sole discretion) for believing that the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk is not reasonably assured to it by the security afforded to it by the terms of
this Indenture. 
 (e) Every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the
Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section and to the provisions of the TIA (if this Indenture is required to be qualified under the TIA). 
 (f) The Trustee shall, and hereby agrees that it will, perform all of the obligations and duties required of it under each Servicing Agreement. 
 (g) Except for actions expressly authorized by this Indenture, the Trustee shall take no action reasonably likely to impair the interests of the Issuer
in any asset of the Trust Estate now existing or hereafter created or to impair the value of any asset of the Trust Estate now existing or hereafter created. 
 (h) Except as provided in this Section 11.1(h), the Trustee shall have no power to vary the corpus of the Trust Estate including, without limitation, the power to (i) accept any substitute obligation
for an asset of the Trust Estate assigned by the Issuer under the Granting Clause of this Master Trust Indenture except for actions expressly authorized by this Indenture or (ii) release any assets from the Trust Estate, except in each case as
permitted or contemplated by the Transaction Documents permitted under Section 10.18, Section 13.1, Section 13.4, Section 16.1 or ARTICLE 5 of this Master Trust Indenture. 
 (i) The Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders, notices or other instruments furnished
to the Trustee which are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any provision of this Indenture or any other Transaction Document, shall examine them to determine whether they substantially conform to the requirements of this Indenture or
the other Transaction Documents, and shall forward them to the Noteholders. 
 (j) Without limiting the generality of this
Section 11.1 and subject to the other provisions of this Indenture, the Trustee shall have no duty (i) to see to any recording, filing or depositing of this Indenture or any agreement referred to herein, or to see to the maintenance
of any such recording or filing or depositing or to any recording, refiling or redepositing of any thereof, (ii) to see to the payment or discharge of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge or any Lien or encumbrance of any kind owing
with respect to, assessed or levied against any part of the Issuer, (iii) to confirm or verify the contents of any reports or certificates delivered to the Trustee pursuant to this Indenture or the Servicing Agreement believed by the Trustee to
be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties, or (iv) to inspect the Loans at any time or ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the Issuer’s, BWF’s, BCC’s or the
Servicer’s representations, warranties or covenants or the Servicer’s duties and obligations as Servicer and as custodian of the Loan files under the Transaction Documents. 
  

 92 








 (k) Subject to Section 11.1(d), in the event that the Paying Agent or the Transfer Agent and
Registrar (if other than the Trustee) shall fail to perform any obligation, duty or agreement in the manner or on the day required to be performed by the Paying Agent or the Transfer Agent and Registrar, as the case may be, under this Indenture, the
Trustee shall be obligated as soon as practicable upon actual knowledge of a Trust Officer thereof and receipt of appropriate records and information, if any, to perform such obligation, duty or agreement in the manner so required. 
 (l) No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to require the Trustee to perform, or accept any responsibility for the performance of, the
obligations of the Master Trust Administrator or the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement until it shall have assumed such obligations in accordance with the provisions of the Servicing Agreement. 
 (m) The Trustee shall not be required to take notice or be deemed to have notice or knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless a Trust Officer
of the Trustee shall have received written notice thereof. In the absence of receipt of such notice, the Trustee may conclusively assume that there is no Default or Event of Default. 
 (n) 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), even if the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage regardless of the form of action. 
 Section 11.2 Rights of the Trustee. Except as otherwise provided by Section 11.1: 
 (a) The Trustee may conclusively rely on and shall be protected in acting upon or refraining from acting upon and in accord with, without any duty to
verify the contents or recompute any calculations therein, any document (whether in its original or facsimile form), including any assignment of Subsequently Purchased Loans, the initial report, the monthly Servicer’s Certificate, the Monthly
Noteholders’ Statement, any resolution, Brooke Officer’s Certificate, certificate of auditors or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document,
believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed by or presented by the proper person. Subject to Section 11.1, the Trustee, absent manifest error, need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document. 
 (b) Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, the Trustee may consult with counsel of its selection or the advice of such counsel or any Opinion
of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon. 
 (c) The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys,
custodians and nominees and the Trustee shall not be liable for any misconduct or negligence on the part of, or for the supervision of, any such agent or attorneys, custodian or nominee so long as such agent, custodian or nominee is appointed with
due care. 
  

 93 








 (d) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith which it
believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture; provided, however, that the Trustee’s conduct does not constitute willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith or a breach of the express
terms of this Indenture. 
 (e) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this
Indenture, any Series Supplement or any Enhancement Agreement, or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto, at the request, order or direction of any of the Noteholders or any Enhancement Provider, pursuant to
the provisions of this Indenture or any Series Supplement, unless such Noteholders or the Enhancement Provider shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities
which may be incurred therein or thereby; nothing contained herein shall, however, relieve the Trustee of the obligations, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (which has not been cured or waived), to exercise such of the rights and powers
vested in it by this Indenture or any Series Supplement and any Enhancement, and to use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs.

 (f) The Trustee shall not, absent manifest error, be bound to make any investigation into the facts of matters stated in any resolution,
certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or document (including, any assignment of Subsequently Purchased Loans, the initial report, the monthly Servicer’s certificate,
the annual Servicer’s certificate, the Monthly Noteholders’ Statement), unless requested in writing so to do by the Holders of Notes evidencing not less than 25% of the aggregate outstanding principal balance of Notes of any Series or any
Enhancement Provider which could be materially adversely affected if the Trustee does not perform such acts, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the
Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Issuer, personally or by agent or attorney at the sole cost of the Issuer and shall incur no liability or
additional liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation; provided, however, that if the payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making
of such investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee, not reasonably assured to the Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms of this Indenture, the Trustee may require reasonable indemnity against such cost, expense or liability as a
condition to so proceeding; the reasonable expense of every such examination shall be paid by the Person making such request, or, if paid by the Trustee, shall be reimbursed by the Person making such request upon demand. 
 (g) The Trustee shall have no liability for the selection of Permitted Investments and shall not be liable for any losses or liquidation penalties in
connection with Permitted Investments, unless such losses or liquidation penalties were incurred through the Trustee’s own willful misconduct or negligence. The Trustee shall have no obligation to invest or reinvest any amounts except as
provided in this Indenture or as directed by the Issuer (or the Servicer on its behalf). 
  

 94 








 (h) The Trustee shall not be liable for the acts or omissions of any successor to the Trustee so long as
such acts or omissions were not the result of the negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the predecessor Trustee. 
 (i) The rights,
privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and to each agent,
custodian and other Person employed to act on its behalf hereunder. 
 (j) Except as may be required by subsections
Section 11.1(b), Section 11.1(i), Section 11.2(a) and Section 11.2(f), the Trustee shall not be required to make any initial or periodic examination of any documents or records related to the Trust
Estate for the purpose of establishing the presence or absence of defects, the compliance by BWF, BCC or the Servicer with their respective representations and warranties or for any other purpose. 
 Section 11.3 Trustee Not Liable for Recitals in Notes. The Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness of the recitals contained in
this Indenture and in the Notes (other than the signature and authentication of the Trustee on the Notes). Except as set forth in Section 11.15, the Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or
of the Notes (other than the signature and authentication of the Trustee on the Notes) or of any asset of the Trust Estate or related document. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Issuer, BWF or BCC of any of the
Notes or of the proceeds of such Notes, or for the use or application of any funds paid to BWF, BCC or to the Issuer in respect of the Trust Estate or deposited in or withdrawn from the Collection Account or any Series Account by the Servicer.

 Section 11.4 Individual Rights of the 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 an Affiliate of the Issuer with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Paying Agent, Transfer Agent and Registrar, co-registrar or co-paying agent may do the same with
like rights. However, the Trustee must comply with Section 11.9 and Section 11.11. 
 Section 11.5 Notice of
Defaults. If a Default, Event of Default, Pay Out Event or Potential Pay Out Event occurs and is continuing and if a Trust Officer of the Trustee receives written notice or has actual knowledge thereof, the Trustee shall promptly provide each
Notice Person (and, with respect to any Event of Default or Pay Out Event, each Noteholder (or, in the case of a Series Pay Out Event, each Noteholder of the relevant Series)) and each Rating Agency promptly (and in any event within three
(3) Business Days) after such knowledge or notice occurs, to the extent possible by telephone and facsimile, and, otherwise, by first class mail at their respective addresses appearing in the Note Register. 
 Section 11.6 Compensation. 
 (a)
To the extent not otherwise paid pursuant to the Indenture, the Issuer covenants and agrees to pay to the Trustee from time to time, and the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, reasonable compensation (which shall not be limited by any provision
of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust) for all services rendered by it in the execution of the trust hereby created 

  

 95 








 
and in the exercise and performance of any of the powers and duties hereunder of the Trustee, and, the Issuer will pay or reimburse the Trustee for all
reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances (including legal fees and costs and costs of persons not regularly employed by the Trustee) incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of this Master Trust Indenture and
any Series Supplement except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its own willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith or breach of the express terms of this Indenture. 
 (b) The obligations of the Issuer under this Section 11.6 shall survive the termination of this Master Trust Indenture and the resignation or
removal of the Trustee. 
 Section 11.7 Replacement of the Trustee. 
 (a) A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee shall become effective only upon the successor Trustee’s
acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 11.7. 
 (b) The Trustee may, after giving sixty (60) days prior
written notice to the Issuer and the Servicer, resign at any time and be discharged from the trust hereby created; provided, however, that no such resignation of the Trustee shall be effective until a successor trustee has assumed the
obligations of the Trustee hereunder. The Issuer may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee, each Secured Party, the Servicer, and the Notice Persons of each Series. The Issuer may remove the Trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, one
copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor trustee if 
 (i) the
Trustee fails to comply with Section 11.9; 
 (ii) a court or Federal or state bank regulatory agency having
jurisdiction in the premises in respect of the Trustee shall have entered a decree or order granting relief or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, conservator, sequestrator (or similar official) for the Trustee or for
any substantial part of the Trustee’s property, or ordering the winding-up or liquidation of the Trustee’s affairs; 
 (iii) the Trustee consents to the appointment of or taking possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, conservator, sequestrator (or other similar official) for the Trustee or for any substantial part of the
Trustee’s property, or makes any assignment for the benefit of creditors or fails generally to pay its debts as such debts become due or takes any corporate action in furtherance of any of the foregoing; or 
 (iv) the Trustee becomes legally incapable of acting. 
 If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of the Trustee for any reason, the Master Trust Administrator shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee acceptable to Required Persons of each
Series by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning and one copy to the successor trustee. 
  

 96 








 (c) If a successor Trustee does not take office within 30 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is
removed, the retiring Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee. 
 A successor
Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring or removed Trustee and to the Issuer. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee, without any further
act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Master Trust Indenture and any Series Supplement. The successor Trustee shall send a written notice of its succession to the
Noteholders. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee; provided, however, that all sums owing to the retiring Trustee hereunder (and its agents and counsel) have been paid
and all documents and statements held by it hereunder, and the Issuer and the predecessor Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required for fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the
successor trustee all such rights, powers, duties and obligations. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 11.7, the Issuer’s obligations under Section 11.6 and Section 11.16 shall
continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee. 
 (d) No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this
Section 11.7 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 11.9 hereof 
 Section 11.8 Successor Trustee by Merger, etc. Any Person into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or
consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such Person shall be eligible under the provisions of
Section 11.9 hereof, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding. 
 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 in the Notes or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Trustee shall have. 
  

 97 








 Section 11.9 Eligibility; Disqualification. The Trustee shall at all times satisfy the
requirements of TIA Section 310(a) (if this Indenture is required to be qualified under the TIA). 
 The Trustee hereunder shall at all
times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or any State thereof authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a long-term unsecured debt rating of at least Baa3 by
Moody’s and BBB- by Standard & Poor’s having, in the case of an entity that is subject to risk-based capital adequacy requirements, risk-based capital of at least $50,000,000 or, in the case of an entity that is not subject to
risk-based capital adequacy requirements, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority. If such corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually,
pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purpose of this Section 11.9, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and
surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. 
 The Trustee shall comply with TIA Section 310(b), including
the optional provision permitted by the second sentence of TIA Section 310(b)(9) (if this Indenture is required to be qualified under the TIA); provided, however, that there shall be excluded from the operation of TIA
Section 310(b)(1) any indenture or indentures under which other securities of the Issuer are outstanding if the requirements for such exclusion set forth in TIA Section 310(b)(1) are met. 
 (a) In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 11.9, the Trustee shall
resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 11.7. 
 Section 11.10 Appointment of
Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee. 
 (a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Master Trust Indenture or any Series Supplement, at
any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust Estate 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 Trust Estate, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the Secured Parties, such title to the
Trust Estate, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 11.10 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 11.8 and no notice to Noteholders of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required under
Section 11.7. No co-trustee shall be appointed without the consent of the Issuer unless such appointment is required as a matter of state law or to enable the Trustee to perform its functions hereunder. The appointment of any co-trustee
or separate trustee shall not relieve the Trustee of any of its 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) the Notes of each
Series shall be authenticated and delivered solely by the Trustee or an authenticating agent appointed by the Trustee; 
  

 98 








 (ii) 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 (whether as Trustee hereunder or as successor to the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement), 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 Trust Estate 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; 
 (iii) no trustee
hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustees, hereunder, including acts or omissions of predecessor or successor trustees; 
 (iv) the Trustee may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee; and 
 (v) the Trustee shall remain primarily liable for the actions of any 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 Master Trust Indenture and the conditions of this ARTICLE 11. 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 Master
Trust Indenture and any Series Supplement, specifically including every provision of this Master Trust Indenture or any Series Supplement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee. Every such
instrument shall be filed with the Trustee and a copy thereof given to the Servicer. 
 (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 to this Master Trust Indenture or any Series Supplement 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. 
 Section 11.11 Preferential Collection of Claims Against the Issuer. The
Trustee shall comply with TIA Section 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA Section 311(b) (if this Indenture is required to be qualified under the TIA). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA
Section 311(a) to the extent indicated (if this Indenture is required to be qualified under the TIA). 
  

 99 








 Section 11.12 Tax Returns. Neither the Trustee nor (except to the extent the Servicer
breaches its obligations or covenants contained in the Servicing Agreement) the Servicer shall be liable for any liabilities, costs or expenses of the Issuer, the Noteholders nor the Note Owners arising under any tax law, including without
limitation federal, state, local or foreign income or franchise taxes or any other tax imposed on or measured by income (or any interest or penalty with respect thereto or arising from a failure to comply therewith). 
 Section 11.13 Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Notes. All rights of action and claims under this Master Trust Indenture or
any Series of Notes may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Notes or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own
name as trustee. 
 Section 11.14 [RESERVED] 
 Section 11.15 Representations and Warranties of Trustee. The Trustee represents and warrants to the Issuer and the Secured Parties that:

Trustee) and its directors, officers, agents and employees from and against any and all loss, liability, claim, expense, damage or injury suffered or sustained by reason of any acts, omissions or alleged acts or omissions arising out of the
activities of the Trustee pursuant to this Master Trust Indenture or any Series Supplement and any other Transaction Document to which it is a party, including but not limited to any judgment, award, settlement, reasonable attorneys’ fees and
other costs or expenses incurred in connection with the defense of any actual or threatened action, proceeding or claim; provided, however, that the Issuer shall not 

  

 100 








 
indemnify the Trustee or its directors, officers, employees or agents if such acts, omissions or alleged acts or omissions constitute negligence, bad faith
or willful misconduct by the Trustee. The indemnity provided herein shall survive the termination of this Indenture and the resignation and removal of the Trustee. 
 Section 11.17 Trustee’s Application for Instructions from the Issuer. Any application by the Trustee for written instructions from the Issuer or the Master Trust Administrator may, at the option of
the Trustee, set forth in writing any action proposed to be taken or omitted by the Trustee under this Master Trust Indenture and the date on and/or after which such action shall be taken or such omission shall be effective. Subject to
Section 11.1, the Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken by, or omission of, the Trustee in accordance with a proposal included in such application on or after the date specified in such application (which date shall not be

Notes except as to (i) rights of Noteholders to receive payments of principal thereof and interest thereon and any other amount due to Noteholders, (ii) Section 8.3, Section 11.6, Section 11.12,
Section 13.2, and Section 13.5(b), (iii) the rights, obligations and immunities of the Trustee hereunder (including the rights of the Trustee under Section 11.6 and Section 11.16 and the
obligations of the Trustee under Section 13.2) and (iv) the rights of Noteholders as beneficiaries hereof with respect to the property deposited with the Trustee as described below payable to all or any of them, and the Trustee, on
demand of the Master Trust Administrator and at the expense of the Issuer, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to the Notes (and their related Secured Parties), on the first
Business Day after the Payment Date with respect to any Series (the “Indenture Termination Date”) on which the Issuer has paid, caused to be paid or irrevocably deposited or caused to be irrevocably deposited in the applicable
Payment Account and any applicable Series Account funds sufficient to pay in full all amounts owed to each Enhancement Provider (and returned any original documents issued by such Enhancement Provider evidencing such Enhancement) and all Issuer
Obligations and Collateral Interests, if any, and the Issuer has delivered to the Trustee and any Enhancement Provider a Brooke Officer’s Certificate, an Opinion of Counsel and, if required by the TIA (if this Indenture is required to be
qualified under the TIA), an Independent Certificate from a firm of certified public accountants, each meeting the applicable requirements of subsection 16.1 (a) and each stating that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating
to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been complied with. 
 After any irrevocable deposit made pursuant to this
Section 13.1 and satisfaction of the other conditions set forth herein, the Trustee promptly upon request shall acknowledge in writing the discharge of the Issuer’s obligations under this Master Trust Indenture except for those
surviving obligations specified above. 
 Section 13.2 Application of Issuer Money. All monies deposited with the Trustee
pursuant to Section 13.1 shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Notes and this Master Trust Indenture and the related Series Supplement, to 

  

 105 








 
the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent, as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of the Notes, of all sums due and to become due
thereon for principal and interest; but such monies need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required herein or in the other Transaction Documents or required by law. 
 The provisions of this Section 13.2 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Indenture. 
 Section 13.3 Repayment of Monies Held by Paying Agent. In connection with the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to
the Notes, all monies 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 8.3 and thereupon such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such monies. 
 Section 13.4 Cleanup Call. 
 (a) If so provided in any Series Supplement, the Servicer may, but shall not be obligated
to, purchase the Notes of any Series on any Payment Date on or after the Payment Date on which the Unpaid Principal Balance of the Loans allocated to the Asset Pools of such Series falls to a level at which the cost of servicing the Asset Pools of
such Series becomes burdensome in relation to the benefits of servicing. This level is deemed to be achieved if the Unpaid Principal Balance of the Loans in the Asset Pools of such Series is less than or equal to 10% of the initial Unpaid Principal
Balance of the Loans in these Asset Pools on the Closing Date for such Series (or such other amount as may be specified in a Series Supplement for such Series). Such purchase shall be made by depositing into the applicable Payment Account or the
applicable Series Account, not later than the Series Transfer Date preceding such Payment Date, for application in accordance with Section 13.5, the amount specified in such Series Supplement. 
 (b) The amount deposited pursuant to Section 13.4(a) shall be paid to the Noteholders of the related Series pursuant to
Section 13.5 on the related Payment Date following the date of such deposit. All Notes of a Series which are paid pursuant to Section 13.4(a) shall be delivered by the Issuer upon such purchase to, and be canceled by, the
Transfer Agent and Registrar and be disposed of in a manner satisfactory to the Trustee and the Issuer. The Notes of each Series which are paid pursuant to Section 13.4(a) shall, for the purposes of the definition of “Issuer
Interest” be deemed to be equal to zero on the Payment Date following the making of the deposit, and the Issuer Interest in a certain Asset Pool shall thereupon be deemed to have been increased by the Invested Amount in such Asset Pool of such
Series. 
 Section 13.5 Final Payment with Respect to Any Series. 
 (a) Written notice of any termination, specifying the Payment Date upon which the Noteholders of any Series may surrender their Notes for final payment
with respect to such Series and cancellation, shall be given (subject to at least 20 Business Days’ prior notice from the Servicer to the Trustee) by the Trustee to Noteholders of such Series delivered not later than the last day of the month
preceding such final payment (or in the manner provided by the Series Supplement relating to such Series) specifying 

  

 106 








 
(i) the Payment Date (which shall be the Payment Date in the month (x) in which the deposit is made pursuant to Section 12.4(a) of this
Master Trust Indenture or such other section as may be specified in the related Series Supplement, or (y) in which the related Series Termination Date occurs) upon which final payment of such Notes will be made upon presentation and surrender
of such Notes at the office or offices therein designated (which, in the case of Bearer Notes, shall be outside the United States), (ii) the amount of any such final payment and (iii) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such
Payment Date is not applicable, payments being made only upon presentation and surrender of the Notes at the office or offices therein specified. The Servicer’s notice to the Trustee in accordance with the preceding sentence shall be
accompanied by a Brooke Officer’s Certificate setting forth the information specified in Article 6 of this Master Trust Indenture covering the period during the then current calendar year through the date of such notice and setting forth the
date of such final distribution. The Trustee shall give such notice to the Transfer Agent and the Paying Agent at the time such notice is given to such Noteholders. 
 (b) Notwithstanding the termination or discharge of the trust of the Indenture pursuant to Section 13.1 or the occurrence of the Series Termination Date with respect to any Series, all funds then on
deposit in the Collection Account, any Payment Account or any Series Account applicable to the related Series shall continue to be held in trust for the benefit of the Noteholders of the related Series and the Paying Agent or the Trustee shall pay
such funds to the Noteholders of the related Series upon surrender of their Notes (which surrenders and payments, in the case of Bearer Notes, shall be made only outside the United States). In the event that all of the Noteholders of any Series
shall not surrender their Notes for cancellation within six (6) months after the date specified in the above-mentioned written notice, the Trustee shall give second written notice (or, in the case of Bearer Certificates, publication notice) to
the remaining Noteholders of such Series upon receipt of the appropriate records from the Transfer Agent and Registrar to surrender their Notes for cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one and one-half
years after the second notice with respect to a Series, all the Notes of such Series shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee may take appropriate steps or may appoint an agent to take appropriate steps, to contact the remaining
Noteholders of such Series concerning surrender of their Notes, and the cost thereof shall be paid out of the funds in any Payment Account or any Series Account held for the benefit of such Noteholders. The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall pay to
the Issuer upon request any monies held by them for the payment of principal or interest which remains unclaimed for two years. After such payment to the Issuer, Noteholders entitled to the money must look to the Issuer for payment as general
creditors unless an applicable abandoned property law designates another Person. 
 (c) All Notes surrendered for payment of the final
distribution with respect to such Notes and cancellation shall be canceled by the Transfer Agent and Registrar and be disposed of in a manner satisfactory to the Trustee and the Issuer. 
 Section 13.6 Termination Rights of Issuer. Upon the termination of the lien of the Indenture pursuant to Section 13.1, and after
payment of all amounts due hereunder on or prior to such termination, the Trustee shall execute a written release and reconveyance substantially in the form of Exhibit A pursuant to which it shall release the lien of the Indenture and
reconvey to the Issuer (without recourse, representation or warranty) all right, title and interest in the Trust Estate, whether then existing or thereafter created, all 

  

 107 








 
monies due or to become due with respect to such Trust Estate (including all accrued interest theretofore posted as Finance Charges) and all proceeds of the
Trust Estate, except for amounts held by the Trustee or any Paying Agent pursuant to Section 13.5(b). The Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer and assignment, in each case without recourse, as shall be
reasonably requested by the Issuer or the Master Trust Administrator to vest in the Issuer all right, title and interest in the Trust Estate. 
 ARTICLE 14.

 (d) to convey,
transfer, assign, mortgage or pledge to the Trustee any property or assets as security for the Issuer Obligations and to specify the terms and conditions upon which such property or assets are to be held and dealt with by the Trustee and to set

 (i) to add any provisions to, or change in any manner or eliminate any of the
provisions of, this Indenture or modify in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Notes under this Indenture; provided, however, that any such action shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any
Noteholder; provided, further, that no amendment or supplement shall be permitted if it would result in a taxable event to any Noteholder unless such Noteholder’s consent is obtained. An amendment described in this
Section 14.1 shall be deemed not to affect adversely the interests of any Noteholder (or any relevant Secured Party) if the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied. 
 Upon the request of the Master Trust Administrator on behalf of the Issuer and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in
Section 2.2 (as applicable), the Trustee shall join with the Issuer in the execution of any supplemental indenture or Series Supplement authorized or permitted by the terms of this Master Trust Indenture and shall make any further
appropriate agreements and stipulations which may be therein contained, but the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into such Series Supplement which affects its own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

Section, except to increase any percentage specified herein or to provide that certain additional provisions of this Master Trust Indenture or cannot be modified or waived without the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Note affected thereby;

 The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such amendment or supplement which affects
the Trustee’s rights, duties or immunities under this Master Trust Indenture or otherwise. 
 Notwithstanding anything in
Section 14.1 and Section 14.2 to the contrary, the Series Supplement with respect to any Series may be amended with respect to the items and in accordance with the procedures provided in such Series Supplement. 
 It shall not be necessary for any consent of Noteholders under this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it
shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. 
 The manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing the
authorization of the execution thereof by Note shall be subject to such reasonable requirements as the Trustee may prescribe. 
 Promptly
after the execution by the Issuer and the Trustee of any supplemental indenture, amendment to this Master Trust Indenture, pursuant to this Section, the Master Trust Administrator shall deliver to each Holder of the Notes of all Series, to any
related Enhancement Provider and to each Rating Agency a notice setting forth in general terms the substance of such supplemental indenture or amendment to this Master Trust Indenture. Any failure of the Trustee to deliver such notice, or any defect
therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture. 
 Section 14.3 Execution
of Supplemental Indentures. In executing any supplemental indenture permitted by this ARTICLE 14 or the modifications thereby of the trust created by this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and subject to
Section 11.1, shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such supplemental indenture is authorized, permitted or not prohibited (as the case may be) by this Indenture. Such Opinion of
Counsel may be subject to reasonable qualifications and assumptions of fact. 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. 
 Section 14.4 Effect of Supplemental Indenture. Upon the execution of any supplemental
indenture pursuant to the provisions hereof, this Indenture shall be and be deemed to be modified and amended in accordance therewith with respect to the Notes affected thereby, and the respective rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties,
liabilities and immunities under this Indenture of the Trustee, the Issuer and the Holders of the Notes 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 14.5 Conformity With TIA. Every amendment of this Indenture and every supplemental indenture executed pursuant to this ARTICLE 14 shall conform to the requirements of the TIA as then in

 Section 14.6 Reference in Notes to Supplemental Indentures. Notes authenticated and delivered
after the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to this ARTICLE 14 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, executed, authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in exchange for
outstanding Notes. 
 Section 14.7 Series Supplements. The initial effectiveness of each Series Supplement shall be subject to
the satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition with respect to such Series Supplement. 
 Section 14.8 Revocation and Effect of
Consents. Until an amendment or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Noteholder of a Note is a continuing consent by the Noteholder and every subsequent Noteholder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the
consenting Noteholder’s Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note. However, any such Noteholder or subsequent Noteholder may revoke the consent as to his Note or portion of a Note if the Trustee receives written notice of
revocation before the date the amendment or waiver becomes effective. An amendment or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Noteholder. The Issuer may fix a record date for determining which Noteholders
must consent to such amendment or waiver. 
 ARTICLE 15. 
 REDEMPTION AND REFINANCING OF NOTES 
 Section 15.1 Redemption and Refinancing. If specified in a
Series Supplement, the Notes of any Series are subject to redemption as specified in the related Series Supplement, on any Payment Date on which the Issuer exercises its option to refinance or purchase the Trust Estate pursuant to this
Section 15.1, for a purchase price equal to the Redemption Price; provided, however, that the Issuer has available funds sufficient to pay the Redemption Price. If the Notes of any Series are to be redeemed pursuant to this
Section 15.1, the Issuer shall furnish notice of such election to the Trustee not later than twenty (20) days prior to the Redemption Date and the Issuer shall deposit with the Trustee in the related Payment Account the Redemption
Price of the Notes of such Series to be redeemed whereupon all such redeemed Notes shall be due and payable on the Redemption Date upon the furnishing of a notice complying with Section 15.2 to each Holder of such Notes. 
 Section 15.2 Form of Redemption Notice. Notice of redemption under Section 15.1 shall be given by the Trustee by facsimile or by
first-class mail, postage prepaid, transmitted or mailed on the Business Days prior to the applicable Redemption Date to each Holder of Notes of the Series to be redeemed, as of the close of business on the Record Date preceding the date of such
notice, at such Holder’s address appearing in the Note Register. 
  

 112 








 All notices of redemption shall state: 
 (a) the Redemption Date; 
 (b) the Redemption
Price; 
 (c) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Redemption Date is not applicable and that 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 (which shall be the office or agency of the Issuer to be maintained as provided in Section 8.2); and

 (d) that interest on the Notes shall cease to accrue on the Redemption Date. 
 Notice of redemption 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
any defect therein, to any Holder of any Note to be redeemed shall not impair or affect the validity of the redemption of any other Note. 
 Section 15.3 Notes Payable on Redemption Date. The Notes of any Series to be redeemed pursuant to Section 15.1 shall, following notice of redemption as required by Section 15.2, on the Redemption Date
become due and payable at the Redemption Price and (unless the Issuer shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price) no interest shall accrue on the Redemption Price for any period after the date to which accrued interest is calculated for
purposes of calculating the Redemption Price.

furnished. 
 Every certificate or opinion with respect to compliance with a condition or covenant provided for in this Indenture shall include: 

(i) a statement that each signatory of such certificate or opinion has read or has caused to be read such covenant or condition and the definitions
herein relating thereto; 
  

 113 








 (ii) a brief statement as to the nature and scope of the examination or investigation upon which the
statements or opinions contained in such certificate or opinion are based; 
 (iii) a statement that, in the opinion of each such signatory,
such signatory has made such examination or investigation as is necessary to enable such signatory to express an informed opinion as to whether or not such covenant or condition has been complied with; and 
 (iv) a statement as to whether, in the opinion of each such signatory such condition or covenant has been complied with. 
 (b)(i) Prior to the deposit of any Collections or other property or securities (other than cash) with the Trustee that is to be made the basis for the
release of any property or securities subject to the lien of this Indenture, the Issuer shall, in addition to any obligation imposed in this Section 16.1(b) or elsewhere in this Indenture, furnish to the Trustee a Brooke Officer’s
Certificate certifying or stating the opinion of each person signing such certificate as to the fair value (within 90 days of such deposit) of the Collections or other property or securities to be so deposited. 
 (ii) Whenever the Issuer is required to furnish to the Trustee a Brooke Officer’s Certificate certifying or stating the opinion of
any signer thereof as to the matters described in clause (i) above, the Issuer shall also deliver to the Trustee an Independent Certificate as to the same matters, if the fair value to the Issuer of the securities to be so deposited and of all
other such securities made the basis of any such withdrawal or release since the commencement of the then-current fiscal year of the Issuer, as set forth in the certificates delivered pursuant to clause (i) above and this clause (ii), is 10% or
more of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all the Notes of all Series issued by the Issuer, but such a certificate need not be furnished with respect to any securities so deposited, if the fair value thereof to the Issuer as set forth in
the related Brooke Officer’s Certificate is less than $25,000 or less than 1% percent of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all the Notes of all Series issued by the Issuer of the Notes. 
 (iii) Other than with respect to the release of any Removed Loans or Liquidated Loans (and the Related Security therefor), and except for
discharges of this Indenture as described in Section 13.1, whenever any property or securities are to be released from the lien of this Indenture, the Issuer shall also furnish to the Trustee a Brooke Officer’s Certificate
certifying or stating the opinion of each person signing such certificate as to the fair value (within 90 days of such release) of the property or securities proposed to be released and stating that in the opinion of such person the proposed release
will not impair the security under this Indenture in contravention of the provisions hereof. 
  

 114 








 (iv) Whenever the Issuer is required to furnish to the Trustee a Brooke Officer’s
Certificate certifying or stating the opinion of any signer thereof as to the matters described in clause (iii) above, the Issuer shall also furnish to the Trustee an Independent Certificate as to the same matters if the fair value of the
property or securities and of all other property other than Removed Loans and Defaulted Loan, or securities released from the lien of this Indenture since the commencement of the then current calendar year, as set forth in the certificates required
by clause (iii) above and this clause (iv), equals 10% or more of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Notes of all Series issued by the Issuer, but such certificate need not be furnished in the case of any release of property or
securities if the fair value thereof as set forth in the related Brooke Officer’s Certificate is less than $25,000 or less than 1% percent of the then aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Notes of all Series issued by the Issuer of the
Notes. 
 Section 16.2 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, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which his or her certificate or opinion is based are
erroneous. Any such certificate of an 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, BWF, BCC or the
Issuer, stating that the information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of or known to the Servicer, BWF, BCC or the Issuer, unless such counsel knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or
opinion or representations with respect to such matters are erroneous. 
 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, 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 11. 
  

 115 








 Section 16.3 Acts of Noteholders. 
 (a) Wherever in this Indenture a provision is made that an action may be taken or a notice, demand or instruction given by Noteholders, such action,
notice or instruction may be taken or given by any Noteholder, unless such provision requires a specific percentage of Noteholders. Notwithstanding anything in this Indenture to the contrary, none of the BWF, BCC, the Issuer or any Affiliate of a
Brooke Party or any Affiliate controlling a Brooke Party shall have any right to vote with respect to any Note, provided that the voting rights of any other Affiliate of a Brooke Party shall be subject to Section 3.16(a) of the TIA (if this
Master Trust Indenture is required to be qualified under the TIA). 
 (b) 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 11.1) conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Issuer, if made in the manner provided in this Section. 
 (c) The fact and date of the execution by any person of any such instrument or writing may be proved in any customary manner of the Trustee. 

(d) The ownership of Notes shall be proved by the Note Register. 
 (e) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action by the Holder of any such Notes shall bind such Noteholder and the Holder of every Note and every subsequent Holder of such
Notes 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, the Servicer or the Issuer in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action
is made upon such Note. 
 Section 16.4 Notices. All demands, notices and communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall
be deemed to have been duly given if personally delivered at, sent by facsimile to, sent by courier at or mailed by registered mail, return receipt requested, to (a) in the case of the Issuer, to Brooke Master Trust LLC, Attention: 10950
Grandview Drive, Suite 600, Overland Park, Kansas 66210, Attention: President, (b) in the case of the Servicer and the Custodian, to Textron Business Services, Inc., 275 West Natick Road, Suite 1000, Warwick, Rhode Island 02886, Attention :
Brian Guadreau, (c) in the case of the Subservicer and the Master Trust Administrator, to Brooke Credit Corporation, 10950 Grandview Drive, Suite 600, Overland Park, Kansas 66210, Attention: President, 

  

 116 








 
(d) in the case of the Trustee, to the Corporate Trust Office, (e) in the case of any Enhancement Provider for, or Required Person with respect to,
a particular Series, the address, if any, specified in the Series Supplement relating to such Series, and (f) in the case of the Rating Agency for a particular Series, the address, if any, specified in the Series Supplement relating to such
Series; or, as to each party, at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to each other party. Unless otherwise provided with respect to any Series in the related Series Supplement or otherwise expressly provided
herein, any notice required or permitted to be mailed to a Noteholder shall be given by first class mail, postage prepaid, at the address of such Noteholder as shown in the Note Register, or with respect to any notice required or permitted to be
made to the Holders of Bearer Notes, by publication in the manner provided in the related Series Supplement. If and so long as any Series or Class is listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and such exchange shall so require, any notice to
Noteholders shall be published in an authorized newspaper of general circulation in Luxembourg (which maybe the Luxembourger Wort or Zeitung) within the time period prescribed in this Indenture. Any notice so mailed or published, as
the case may be, within the time prescribed in this Indenture shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Noteholder receives such notice. 
 The Issuer or the Trustee by notice to the other may designate additional or different addresses for subsequent notices or communications; provided, however, the Issuer may not at any time designate more
than a total of three (3) addresses to which notices must be sent in order to be effective. 
 Any notice (i) given in person shall
be deemed delivered on the date of delivery of such notice, (ii) given by first class mail shall be deemed given five (5) days after the date that such notice is mailed, (iii) delivered by telex or telecopier shall be deemed given on
the date of delivery of such notice, and (iv) delivered by overnight air courier shall be deemed delivered one Business Day after the date that such notice is delivered to such overnight courier. 
 Notwithstanding any provisions of this Indenture to the contrary, the Trustee shall have no liability based upon or arising from the failure to receive
any notice required by or relating to this Indenture or the Notes. 
 If the Issuer mails a notice or communication to Noteholders, it shall
mail a copy to the Trustee at the same time. 
  

 117 








 Section 16.5 Notices to Noteholders; Waiver. Where this Indenture provides for notice to
Noteholders of any event unless otherwise set forth in any Series Supplement, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class, postage prepaid to each Noteholder affected by
such event, at his address as it appears on the Note Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice. In any case where notice to Noteholders is given by mail, neither the
failure to mail such notice nor any defect in any notice so mailed to any particular Noteholder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Noteholders, and any notice that is mailed in the manner here in provided shall
conclusively be presumed to have been duly given. 
 Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in
writing by any Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Noteholders shall be filed with the 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 a Default or Event of Default. 
 Section 16.6 Alternate Payment and Notice Provisions. Notwithstanding any provision of this Indenture or any of the Notes to the contrary,
the Trustee on behalf of 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, provided that such methods are consented to by the Issuer (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). The Trustee will cause payments to be made and notices to be given in accordance with such
agreements. 
 Section 16.7 Taxes. 
 (a) Any and all payments and deposits required to be made hereunder or under any other Transaction Document by any Brooke Party or the Trustee shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for
or on account of, any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, fees, withholdings or duties, and all liabilities with respect thereto, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, assessed or withheld by any
Governmental Authority, excluding (x) taxes that would not have been imposed in connection with a payment on the Notes, if the Note Owner had complied with the provisions of Section 16.7(d) hereof, and (y) taxes on the net
income of a Note Owner or any liquidity and/or credit support provider (an “Affected Party”) for a Note Owner, in each case imposed by any jurisdiction under the laws of which the Affected Party is organized or any political
subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (all such nonexcluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, fees, withholdings 

  

 118 








 
or duties, collectively or individually, “Taxes”). If any such Taxes are required to be deducted or withheld from any payments or deposits
to be made hereunder or under any Transaction Document by any Brooke Party or the Trustee, (1) the amounts so payable or required to be deposited, as the case may be, shall be increased to the extent necessary so that, after making all required
deductions or withholdings (including deductions or withholdings applicable to additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 16.7), the relevant Affected Party receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such
deductions or withholdings been required, (2) such Brooke Party or the Trustee, as the case may be, shall make such required deductions and withholdings, and (3) such Brooke Party or the Trustee, as the case may be, shall pay the full
amount deducted or withheld to the relevant taxation authority or other applicable person in accordance with applicable law. 
 (b) In
addition, the Issuer agrees to pay any present or future stamp or other documentary stamp taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made hereunder or under any other Transaction Document or
from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any such Transaction Document (hereinafter referred to as, “Other Taxes”). 
 (c) The Issuer will indemnify each Affected Party for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitations, any Taxes or Other Taxes
imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 16.7) paid by such Affected Party and any liability (including, without limitation, penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto whether or
not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. This indemnification shall be made on the first Payment Date which is not less than ten (10) days after the date the Affected Party delivers to the Issuer a written demand
therefor together with a certificate as to the amount of such indemnification setting forth, in reasonable detail, the basis for and calculation thereof, which certificate shall, absent manifest error, be conclusive and binding. 
 (d) Each Note Owner that is a Non-United States Person shall: (x) deliver to the Issuer two duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form
W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI, or applicable successor form, as the case may be; (y) deliver to the Issuer two further copies of any such form or certification on or before the date that any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete and
after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it to the Issuer; and (z) obtain such extensions of time for filing and completing such forms or certifications as may be reasonably requested
by the Issuer; unless, in any such case, an event (including, without limitation, any change in treaty, law or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which, regardless of the identity of the
Note Owner, renders all such forms inapplicable or which, regardless of the identity of the Note Owner , would prevent such Note Owner from duly completing and delivering any such form with respect to it. Each Note Owner that is a Non-United States
Person shall certify in the case of an Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI (or applicable successor form) that it is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents without deduction or withholding of
any United States federal income taxes. Each Note Owner which is a Non-United States Person agrees that, to the extent any form claiming complete or partial exemption from withholding or deduction of United States federal Taxes delivered by it under
this Section 16.7 is found to be incomplete or incorrect 

  

 119 








 
in any material respect, such Note Owner shall (to the extent that it is permitted to do so under the laws and any double taxation treaties of the United
States, the jurisdiction of its organization and the jurisdictions in which its relevant booking offices are located) execute and deliver to the Issuer a complete and correct replacement form. 
 Section 16.8 Conflict with TIA. If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with another provision hereof that is required to be
included in this Master Trust Indenture by any of the provisions of the TIA, such required provision shall control (if this Indenture is required to be qualified under the TIA). 
 The provisions of TIA Sections 310 through 317 that impose duties on any person (including the provisions automatically deemed included herein unless
expressly excluded by this Indenture) are a part of and govern this Indenture, whether or not physically contained herein (if this Indenture is required to be qualified under the TIA). Notwithstanding the foregoing, and regardless of whether the
Indenture is required to be qualified under the TIA, the provisions of Section 316(a)(1) of the TIA shall be excluded from this Indenture. 
 Section 16.9 Effect of Headings and Table of Contents. The Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents and Cross-Reference Table are for convenience of reference only, are not to be considered a part hereof,
and shall not affect the meaning or construction hereof. 
 Section 16.10 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. 
 Section 16.11 Separability of Provisions. If any one or more of the covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Indenture or Notes
shall for any reason whatsoever be held invalid, then such covenants, agreements, provisions or terms shall be deemed severable from the remaining covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Indenture and shall in no way affect the validity
or enforceability of the other provisions of this Indenture or of the Notes or rights of the Holders thereof. 
 Section 16.12
Benefits of Indenture. Except as set forth in this Indenture, nothing in this Indenture or in the Notes, expressed or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and their successors hereunder and the Secured Parties, any
benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under the Indenture. 
 Section 16.13 Legal Holidays. In any case where
the date on which any payment is due to any Secured Party shall not be a Business Day, then (notwithstanding any other provision of the Notes or this Indenture) any such payment need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding
Business Day and interest shall accrue for such additional Business Day. 
 Section 16.14 GOVERNING LAW; JURISDICTION; VENUE.
THIS INDENTURE AND THE NOTES SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS. 

  

 120 








 
EACH OF THE PARTIES TO THIS INDENTURE AND EACH SECURED PARTY HEREBY AGREES TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE
SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK AND ANY APPELLATE COURT HAVING JURISDICTION TO REVIEW THE JUDGMENT THEREOF. EACH OF THE PARTIES AND EACH SECURED PARTY HEREBY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION BASED ON FORUM NON CONVENIENS AND ANY OBJECTION TO VENUE OF ANY
ACTION INSTITUTED HEREUNDER IN ANY OF THE AFOREMENTIONED COURTS AND CONSENTS TO THE GRANTING OF SUCH LEGAL OR EQUITABLE RELIEF AS IS DEEMED APPROPRIATE BY SUCH COURT. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY NOW OR
HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUIT, LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY UNDER OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT IN ANY COURT LOCATED IN THE CITY OF NEW YORK AND STATE OF NEW YORK AND HEREBY FURTHER WAIVES ANY CLAIM
THAT A COURT LOCATED IN THE CITY OF NEW YORK AND STATE OF NEW YORK IS NOT A CONVENIENT FORUM FOR ANY SUCH SUIT, LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING. 
 Section 16.15 Counterparts. This Indenture may be executed in any number of counterparts, and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts
shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. 
 Section 16.16 Recording of Indenture. If this Indenture is subject
to recording in any appropriate public recording offices, such recording is to be effected by the Issuer and at its expense accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel (which may be counsel to the Trustee or any other counsel reasonably acceptable to the
Trustee) to the effect that such recording is necessary either for the protection of the Secured Parties or any other person secured hereunder or for the enforcement of any right or remedy granted to the Trustee under this Indenture. 
 Section 16.17 Issuer Obligation. No recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuer or under
this Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith or therewith, against (i) BWF, BCC, the Servicer or the Trustee or (ii) any partner, owner, incorporator beneficiary, beneficial owner, agent, officer,
director, employee, shareholder or agent of the Issuer, BWF, BCC, the Servicer or the Trustee, except (x) as any such Person may have expressly agreed and (y) nothing in this Section shall relieve BWF, BCC or the Servicer from its own
obligations under the terms of any Transaction Document. Nothing in this Section 16.17 shall be construed to limit the Trustee from exercising its rights hereunder with respect to the Trust Estate. 
 Section 16.18 No Bankruptcy Petition Against the Issuer. Each of the Secured Parties and the Trustee by entering into the Indenture, any
Enhancement Agreement, any Series Supplement or any Note Purchase Agreement (as defined in such Series Supplement) and in the case of the Noteholder and Note Owner, by accepting a Note, hereby covenants and agrees that, prior to the date which is
one year and one day after the payment in full of the latest maturing Note and the termination of the Indenture, it will not institute against, or join with any other Person in instituting against, the Issuer any bankruptcy, reorganization,
arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, or other proceedings, under any United States Federal or state bankruptcy or similar law in 

  

 121 








 
connection with any obligations relating to the Notes, the Indenture or any of the Transaction Documents. In the event that any such Secured Party or the
Trustee takes action in violation of this Section 16.18, the Issuer shall file an answer with the bankruptcy court or otherwise properly contesting the filing of such a petition by any such Secured Party or the Trustee against the Issuer
or the commencement of such action and raising the defense that such Secured Party or the Trustee has agreed in writing not to take such action and should be estopped and precluded therefrom and such other defenses, if any, as its counsel advises
that it may assert. The provisions of this Section 16.18 shall survive the termination of this Indenture, and the resignation or removal of the Trustee. Nothing contained herein shall preclude participation by any Secured Party or the
Trustee in the assertion or defense of its claims in any such proceeding involving the Issuer. 
 Section 16.19 No Joint Venture.
Nothing herein contained shall be deemed or construed to create a co-partnership or joint venture between the parties hereto and the services of the Servicer and the Subservicer shall be rendered as independent contractors and not as agents for the
Trustee. 
 Section 16.20 Rule 144A Information. For so long as any of the Notes of any Series or any Class are “restricted
securities” within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) under the Securities Act, the Issuer, the Master Trust Administrator, the Servicer, the Subservicer and the Trustee for such Series agree to cooperate with each other to provide to any
Noteholders of such Series or Class and to any prospective purchaser of Notes designated by such Noteholder upon the request of such Noteholder or prospective purchaser, any information required to be provided to such Holder or prospective purchaser
to satisfy the condition set forth in Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act if at the time of the request the Issuer is not a reporting company under Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act. 
 Section 16.21 No Waiver, Cumulative Remedies. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Trustee, any Secured
Party, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of
any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exhaustive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law. 
 Section 16.22 Merger and Integration. Except as specifically stated otherwise herein, this Indenture sets forth the entire understanding of
the parties relating to the subject matter hereof, and all prior understandings, written or oral, are superseded by this Indenture. 
 Section 16.23 Rules by the Trustee. The Trustee may make reasonable rules for action by or at a meeting of any Secured Parties. 
 Section 16.24 Waiver of Trial by Jury. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each of the Secured Parties irrevocably waives all right of trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim arising
out of or in connection with this assignment or the Transaction Documents or any matter arising hereunder or thereunder.

 Section 16.25 Confidentiality. 
 (a) Each of the Issuer, BWF, BCC, and the Servicer shall maintain and shall cause each of its Affiliates, employees and officers and agents to maintain
the confidentiality of this Indenture and the other Transaction Documents and the other proprietary information with respect to the Noteholders and their respective businesses obtained by it in connection with the, structuring, negotiating and
execution of the transactions contemplated herein and therein, except that the Issuer, BWF, BCC and the Servicer and their respective Affiliates, officers and employees may disclose such information (i) to any Rating Agency or to such Brooke
Party’s external accountants and attorneys, (ii) to any Person that is proposed to be an investor in or lender to any Brooke Party or a party to any prospective merger or consolidation, securitization or asset purchase with a Brooke Party
who agrees to hold such information confidential in accordance with the terms of this Section 16.25, (iii) as required by any applicable law or order of any judicial or administrative proceeding and (iv) to any officers,
directors, employees, outside accountants and attorneys of any of the foregoing; provided that each such Person described in clause (ii) is informed of the confidential nature of such information in a manner consistent with the practice of the
Issuer, BWF, BCC and the Servicer for making such disclosure generally to Persons of such type and has agreed to hold such information confidential on terms substantially similar in substance to those set forth in this Section 16.25. In
addition, each Brooke Party may disclose any such nonpublic information pursuant to any law, rule, regulation, direction, request or order of any judicial, administrative or regulatory authority or proceedings (whether or not having the force or
effect of law). 
 (b) The Trustee shall maintain and shall cause each of its Affiliates, employees and officers and agents to maintain the
confidentiality of all proprietary information with respect to the Brooke Parties in connection with the transactions contemplated herein and therein to the extent such information has been identified as being confidential; provided that any such
