 6 













 (b)        Due Qualification.
The Depositor is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation, is in good standing, and has obtained, or has filed all forms, in the appropriate form, that are required to obtain, all necessary licenses and approvals, in all jurisdictions
in which the ownership or lease of its property, the conduct of its business and the performance of its obligations under this Agreement and the Basic Documents requires such qualification. 

(c)        Power and Authority. The Depositor has the corporate power and
authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to carry out its terms; the Depositor has full power and authority to sell and assign the property to be sold and assigned to and deposited with the Trust and the Depositor has duly authorized such

(d)        No Consent Required. No consent, license, approval or authorization

applied for, obtained, effected or made. 
 (e)        No Violation. The
consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the fulfillment of the terms hereof do not conflict with, result in any breach of any of the terms and provisions of, or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time) a
default under the certificate of incorporation or by-laws of the Depositor, or any material indenture, agreement or other instrument to which the Depositor is a party or by which it is bound; nor result in the

determination or ruling that might materially and adversely affect its performance of its obligations under, or the validity or enforceability of, this Agreement or any of the Basic Documents, or (iv) seeking to adversely affect the federal
income tax or other federal, State or local tax attributes of the Certificate. 
 SECTION 2.10.
        Covenants of the Certificateholder 
 The Certificateholder agrees:

 (a)        to be bound by the terms and conditions of the Certificate of which
the Holder is the beneficial owner and of this Agreement, including any supplements or amendments hereto and to perform the obligations of a Holder as set forth therein or herein, in all respects as if it were a signatory hereto. This undertaking is
made for the benefit of the Trust and the Owner Trustee; and 

  
 7 













 (b)        except as expressly
provided in Sections 4.5 and 10.13, not to, for any reason, take any Bankruptcy Action. 
 SECTION 2.11.
        Federal Income Tax Treatment of the Trust. 

(a)        For so long as the Trust has a single owner for federal income tax
purposes, pursuant to Treasury Regulations promulgated under Section 7701 of the Code, it will be disregarded as an entity distinct from the Certificateholder for all federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, for federal income tax purposes,
the Certificateholder will be treated as (i) owning all assets owned by the Trust and (ii) having incurred all liabilities incurred by the Trust, and all transactions between the Trust and the Certificateholder will be disregarded. The
parties agree that, unless otherwise required by appropriate tax authorities, the Trust will file or cause to be filed annual or other necessary returns, reports and other forms consistent with the characterization of the Trust as provided in the
preceding sentence for such tax purposes. 
 (b)        Neither the Owner Trustee
nor the Certificateholder will make an election on IRS Form 8832 or otherwise to classify the Trust as an association taxable as a corporation for federal, State, or any other applicable tax purpose. 

(c)        In the event that the Trust has two or more owners for federal income tax
purposes, pursuant to Treasury Regulations promulgated under Section 7701 of the Code, it will be treated as a partnership. At any such time that the Trust has two or more equity owners, this Agreement will be amended, in accordance with
Section 10.1 herein, and appropriate provisions will be added so as to provide for treatment of the Trust as a partnership. 

(d)        In the event that the Trust is classified as a partnership for federal
income tax purposes, (i) the Depositor (or if the Depositor is no longer a Certificateholder, the Majority Certificateholder) is hereby designated as the “partnership representative” under Section 6223(a) of the Code and
(ii) the partnership representative will or will cause the Trust, to the extent eligible, to make the election under Section 6221(b) of the Code with respect to determinations of adjustments at the partnership level and take any other
action (such as disclosures and notifications) necessary or appropriate to effectuate such election. If the election described in the preceding sentence is not available, to the extent applicable, the partnership representative will or will cause
the Trust to make the election under Section 6226(a) of the Code with respect to the alternative to payment of imputed underpayment by a partnership and take any other action such as filings, disclosures and notifications necessary or
appropriate to effectuate such election. The partnership representative is authorized, in its sole discretion, to make any available election with respect to the BBA Partnership Audit Rules and take any action it deems necessary or appropriate to
comply with the requirements of the Code and to conduct the Trust’s affairs with respect to the BBA Partnership Audit Rules. Each Certificateholder and, if different, each beneficial owner of a Certificate, shall promptly provide the
partnership representative any requested information, documentation or material to enable the partnership representative to make any of the elections described in this clause (d) and otherwise comply with the BBA Partnership Audit Rules. The
provisions of this Section 2.11(d) shall survive any termination of this Agreement. In addition, should the Trust be classified as a partnership, the partnership representative, may, in its sole discretion, cause the Trust to make an election
under Section 754 of the Code.

 Article III. 

Certificate and Transfer of Interest 

SECTION 3.1.         Initial Ownership 

Upon the formation of the Trust by the contribution by the Depositor pursuant to Section 2.5 and until the issuance of
the Certificate to the initial Certificateholder, the Depositor shall be the sole beneficiary of the Trust. 
 SECTION 3.2.
        The Certificate 
 The Certificate shall be executed on behalf of
the Trust by manual or facsimile signature of an authorized officer of the Owner Trustee. A Certificate bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were, at the time when such signatures shall have been affixed, authorized to sign
on behalf of the Trust, shall be validly issued and entitled to the benefit of this Agreement, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them shall have ceased to be so authorized prior to the authentication and delivery of such Certificate or
did not hold such offices at the date of authentication and delivery of such Certificate. A transferee of a Certificate shall become a Certificateholder, and shall be entitled to the rights and subject to the obligations of a Certificateholder
hereunder, upon due registration of such Certificate in such transferee’s name pursuant to Section 3.4. 
 SECTION
3.3.         Authentication of Certificate 
 Concurrently with the sale of
the Receivables to the Trust pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Owner Trustee shall cause the Certificate to be executed on behalf of the Trust, authenticated and delivered to or upon the written order of the Depositor, signed by its
chairman of the board, its president or any vice president, its treasurer or any assistant treasurer without further corporate action by the Depositor, in authorized denominations. No Certificate shall entitle its holder to any benefit under this
Agreement, or shall be valid for any purpose, unless there shall appear on such Certificate a certificate of authentication substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A, executed by the Owner Trustee or the Owner Trustee’s authentication
agent, by manual signature; such authentication shall constitute conclusive evidence that such Certificate shall have been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. The Certificate shall be dated the date of its authentication. 

SECTION 3.4.         Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificate 

The Certificate Registrar shall keep or cause to be kept, at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 3.7, a
Certificate Register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, including, without limitation, requiring any potential transferee to represent to the Certificate Registrar such transferee’s compliance with the
transfer restrictions set forth herein, the Certificate Registrar shall provide for the registration of the Certificate and of transfers and exchanges of the Certificate as herein provided. The Certificate Registrar shall be entitled to conclusively
rely on the transferee’s representation that the transferee has complied with the transfer restrictions set forth herein. Wilmington Trust Company shall be the initial Certificate Registrar. 

  
 9 













 The Certificate Registrar shall provide the Trust Collateral Agent and the
Trustee with the name and address of the Certificateholder (if other than the Depositor) on the Closing Date. Upon any transfers of the Certificate, the Certificate Registrar shall notify the Trust Collateral Agent and the Trustee of the name and
address of the transferee in writing, by facsimile, on the day of such transfer. The Trust Collateral Agent and the Trustee shall be entitled to fully rely on the most recently provided Certificateholder information with no liability therefor. 

Upon surrender for registration of transfer of the Certificate at the office or agency maintained pursuant to
Section 3.7, the Owner Trustee shall execute, authenticate and deliver (or shall cause its authenticating agent to authenticate and deliver), in the name of the designated transferee, a new Certificate dated the date of authentication by the
Owner Trustee or any authenticating agent. 
 A Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or
exchange may, but need not, be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Owner Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Certificateholder or his attorney duly authorized in writing, (i) with
such signature guaranteed by an “eligible guarantor institution” meeting the requirements of the Certificate Registrar, which requirements include membership or participation in the Securities Transfer Agent’s Medallion Program
(“STAMP”) or such other “signature guarantee program” as may be determined by the Certificate Registrar in addition to, or in substitution for, STAMP, all in accordance with the Exchange Act, and (ii) accompanied by IRS Form
W-9, or such other form as may be reasonably required in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar, as applicable, and such other documentation as may be reasonably required by the Owner Trustee or the
Certificate Registrar in order to comply with Applicable Anti-Money-Laundering Law, each in form satisfactory to the Owner Trustee and the Certificate Registrar, duly executed by the Certificateholder or such person’s attorney duly authorized
in writing. No transfer will be effectuated hereunder unless the Owner Trustee has received the transfer documentation required hereunder. Each Certificate surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be canceled and subsequently
disposed of by the Owner Trustee in accordance with its customary practice. 
 No service charge shall be made for any
registration of transfer or exchange of the Certificate, but the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or
exchange of the Certificate. 
 No Certificate may be held or beneficially owned by any Person that is not a United States
person as defined under Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code. By accepting and holding its beneficial ownership interest in its Certificate, the Holder thereof shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that it is a United States person as
defined under Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, no sale or transfer of a Certificate
shall be permitted (including, without limitation, by pledge or hypothecation), and no such sale or transfer shall be registered by the Certificate Registrar to be effective hereunder, if the sale or transfer thereof increases the number of
Certificateholders to more than ninety-five (95). For purposes of determining the total number of Certificateholders, a beneficial owner of an interest in a partnership, grantor trust or S corporation for federal income tax purposes (each a
“Flow-Through  

  
 10 













 
Entity”) that, directly or through other Flow-Through Entities, owns a Certificate is treated as a holder of a Certificate if (i) substantially all of the value of the beneficial
owner’s interest (directly or indirectly) in the Flow-Through Entity is attributed to the Flow-Through Entity’s interest in the Certificate and (ii) a principal purpose of the use of the Flow-Through Entity to hold the Certificate is
to satisfy the 95 holder limitation set out above. If using a Flow-Through Entity to acquire a Certificate, the Certificateholder shall be deemed to have represented that it is not using the Flow-Through Entity in order to avoid the 95 holder
limitation set out above. In addition, no sale or transfer of a Certificate shall be registered by the Certificate Registrar or made effective hereunder unless, as evidenced by a written representation and covenant by the transferee in form
satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar (upon which representation and covenant the Certificate Registrar may conclusively rely without independent investigation), no member of the transferee’s expanded group as defined in Treasury Regulation
Section 1.385-1(c)(4) (including through a controlled partnership as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.385-1(c)(1)) is or will become the beneficial
owner of a Note. If a Certificateholder or a member of its expanded group becomes the beneficial owner of a Note, the Depositor is authorized at its discretion to compel such Certificateholder to sell its Certificate to a Person whose ownership
complies with this paragraph so long as such sale does not otherwise cause a material adverse effect on the Trust. 

SECTION 3.5.         Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates 

If (a) any mutilated Certificate shall be surrendered to the Certificate Registrar, or if the Certificate Registrar shall
receive evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate and (b) there shall be delivered to the Certificate Registrar and the Owner Trustee, such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of
them harmless, then in the absence of notice that such Certificate shall have been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall execute and the Owner Trustee, or the Certificate Registrar, as the Owner
Trustee’s authenticating agent, shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like tenor and denomination. In connection with the issuance of any
new Certificate under this Section, the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith. Any duplicate Certificate
issued pursuant to this Section shall constitute conclusive evidence of an ownership interest in the Trust, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time. 

SECTION 3.6.         Persons Deemed Certificateholders 

Every Person by virtue of becoming a Certificateholder in accordance with this Agreement shall be deemed to be bound by the
terms of this Agreement. Prior to due presentation of the Certificate for registration of transfer, the Owner Trustee and the Certificate Registrar and any agent of the Owner Trustee and the Certificate Registrar, may treat the Person in whose name
any Certificate shall be registered in the Certificate Register as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Owner
Trustee or the Certificate Registrar nor any agent of the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar shall be bound by any notice to the contrary. 

SECTION 3.7.         Maintenance of Office or Agency 

  
 11 













 The Owner Trustee shall maintain an office or offices or agency or agencies
where the Certificate may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Owner Trustee in respect of the Certificate and the Basic Documents may be served.    The Owner
Trustee initially designates the Corporate Trust Office for such purposes. The Owner Trustee shall give prompt written notice to the Depositor and the Certificateholder of any change in the location of the Certificate Register or any such office or
agency. 
 SECTION 3.8.         Disposition in Whole But Not in Part 

The Certificate may be transferred in whole but not in part. Any attempted transfer of the Certificate that would divide the ownership of the
Owner Trust Estate shall be void. The Owner Trustee shall cause any Certificate issued to contain a legend stating “THIS CERTIFICATE IS NOT TRANSFERABLE EXCEPT UNDER THE LIMITED CONDITIONS SPECIFIED IN THE TRUST AGREEMENT.”. 

SECTION 3.9.         ERISA Restrictions 

The Certificate may not be acquired by or for the account of (a) an “employee benefit plan” (as defined in
Section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”)) that is subject to the fiduciary responsibility provisions of Title I of ERISA, (b) a “plan” (within the meaning of
Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code) that is subject to Section 4975 of the Code, (c) any entity whose underlying assets include assets of an employee benefit plan or a plan described in (a) or (b) above by reason of such employee
benefit plan’s or plan’s investment in the entity (collectively, a “Benefit Plan Investor”), or (d) an employee benefit plan, a plan or other similar arrangement that is not a Benefit Plan Investor but is subject to
federal, State, local, non-U.S. or other laws or regulations that are substantially similar to Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (each of (a) – (d), a “Benefit Plan
Entity”). By accepting and holding its beneficial ownership interest in its Certificate, the Holder thereof shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that it is not a Benefit Plan Entity. 

SECTION 3.10.         Appointment of Certificate Paying Agent 

The Certificate Paying Agent shall make distributions to the Certificateholder from the Certificate Distribution Account
pursuant to Article VIII and Article XI hereof and shall report the amounts of such distributions to the Owner Trustee. Any Certificate Paying Agent shall have the revocable power to withdraw funds from the Certificate Distribution Account for the
purpose of making the distributions referred to above. The Owner Trustee shall revoke such power and remove the Certificate Paying Agent if the Owner Trustee or the Depositor by written direction to the Owner Trustee determines, each in its sole
discretion that the Certificate Paying Agent shall have failed to perform its obligations under this Agreement in any material respect. The Certificate Paying Agent initially shall be Wilmington Trust Company, and any
co-paying agent chosen by Wilmington Trust Company and the Depositor. Wilmington Trust Company shall be permitted to resign as Certificate Paying Agent upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to the
Owner Trustee and the Depositor. In the event that Wilmington Trust Company shall no longer be the Certificate Paying Agent, the Depositor, with the consent of the Owner Trustee, shall appoint a successor to act as Certificate Paying Agent (which
shall be a bank or trust company). The Owner Trustee shall cause such successor Certificate Paying Agent or any additional Certificate Paying Agent 

  
 12 













 
appointed hereunder to execute and deliver to the Owner Trustee an instrument in which such successor Certificate Paying Agent or additional Certificate Paying Agent shall agree with the Owner
Trustee that, as Certificate Paying Agent, such successor Certificate Paying Agent or additional Certificate Paying Agent will hold all sums, if any, held by it for payment to the Certificateholder in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholder
entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to the Certificateholder. The Certificate Paying Agent shall return all unclaimed funds to the Owner Trustee and upon removal of a Certificate Paying Agent such Certificate Paying Agent shall also
return all funds in its possession to the Owner Trustee. The provisions of Articles VI and VII shall apply to the Owner Trustee also in its role as Certificate Paying Agent, for so long as the Owner Trustee shall act as Certificate Paying Agent and,
to the extent applicable, to any other paying agent appointed hereunder. Any reference in this Agreement to the Certificate Paying Agent shall include any co-paying agent unless the context requires otherwise.

 Article IV. 
 Voting
Rights and Other Actions 
 SECTION 4.1.         Prior Notice to Holder with
Respect to Certain Matters 
 With respect to the following matters, the Owner Trustee shall not take action unless at
least thirty (30) days before the taking of such action, the Owner Trustee shall have notified the Certificateholder in writing of the proposed action and the Certificateholder shall not have notified the Owner Trustee in writing prior to the
thirtieth (30th) day after such notice is given that the Certificateholder has withheld consent or provided alternative direction: 

(a)        the election by the Trust to file an amendment to the Certificate of Trust
(unless such amendment is required to be filed under the Statutory Trust Statute or unless such amendment would not materially and adversely affect the interests of the Holder); 

(b)        the amendment of the Indenture by a supplemental indenture in circumstances
where the consent of any Noteholder is required; 
 (c)        the amendment of the
Indenture by a supplemental indenture in circumstances where the consent of any Noteholder is not required and such amendment materially adversely affects the interest of the Certificateholder; or 

(d)        except pursuant to Section 12.1(b) of the Sale and Servicing
Agreement, the amendment, change or modification of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, except to cure any ambiguity or defect or to amend or supplement any provision in a manner that would not materially adversely affect the interests of the
Certificateholder. 
 The Owner Trustee shall notify the Certificateholder in writing of any appointment of a successor Note
Registrar or Trust Collateral Agent within five (5) Business Days after receipt of notice thereof. 
 SECTION 4.2.
        Action by Certificateholder with Respect to Certain Matters 

  
 13 













 The Owner Trustee shall not have the power, except upon the direction of
the Certificateholder in accordance with the Basic Documents, to (a) remove the Servicer under the Sale and Servicing Agreement pursuant to Section 9.2 thereof or (b) except as expressly provided in the Basic Documents, sell the
Receivables after the termination of the Indenture. The Owner Trustee shall take the actions referred to in the preceding sentence only upon written instructions signed by the Certificateholder and the furnishing of indemnification satisfactory to
the Owner Trustee by the Certificateholder. 
 SECTION 4.3.         Restrictions
on Certificateholder’s Power. 
 (a)        The Certificateholder shall not
direct the Owner Trustee to take or refrain from taking any action if such action or inaction would be contrary to any obligation of the Trust or the Owner Trustee under this Agreement or any of the Basic Documents or would be contrary to
Section 2.3 nor shall the Owner Trustee be obligated to follow any such direction, if given. 

(b)        The Certificateholder shall not have any right by virtue or by availing
itself of any provisions of this Agreement to institute any suit, action, or proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Agreement or any Basic Document, unless the Certificateholder previously shall have given to the Owner
Trustee a written notice of default and of the continuance thereof, as provided in this Agreement, and also unless the Certificateholder shall have made written request upon the Owner Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own
name as Owner Trustee under this Agreement and shall have offered to the Owner Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it may require against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, and the Owner Trustee, for thirty
(30) days after its receipt of such notice, request, and offer of indemnity, shall have neglected or refused to institute any such action, suit, or proceeding, and during such thirty (30) day period no request or waiver inconsistent with
such written request has been given to the Owner Trustee pursuant to and in compliance with this Section or Section 5.3. For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of this Section, the Certificateholder and the Owner Trustee shall be
entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity. 
 SECTION 4.4.
        [Reserved] 
 SECTION 4.5.
        Action with Respect to Bankruptcy Action 

(a)        The Trust shall not, without the prior written consent of the Owner
Trustee, (i) institute any proceedings to adjudicate the Trust bankrupt or insolvent, (ii) consent to the institution of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings against the Trust, (iii) file a petition seeking or consenting to
reorganization or relief under any applicable federal or State law relating to bankruptcy with respect to the Trust, (iv) consent to the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator (or other similar official) of the
Trust or a substantial part of its property, (v) make any assignment for the benefit of the Trust’s creditors, (vi) admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, (vii) declare or effect a
moratorium on its debt, or (viii) take any action in furtherance of any of the foregoing (any of the above foregoing actions, a “Bankruptcy Action”). In considering whether to give or withhold written consent to a Bankruptcy Action by
the Trust, the Owner Trustee, with the consent of the Certificateholder (hereby given, which consent the Certificateholder believes to be in the best interests of the Certificateholder and 

  
 14 













 
the Trust), shall consider the interest of the Noteholders in addition to the interests of the Trust and whether the Trust is insolvent; provided, however, that the Owner Trustee shall not be
deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the Noteholders. The Owner Trustee shall have no duty to give such written consent to a Bankruptcy Action by the Trust if the Owner Trustee shall not have been furnished (at the expense of the Trust or the Person
that requested that such letter be furnished to the Owner Trustee) with a letter from an independent accounting firm of national reputation stating that in the opinion of such firm the Trust is then insolvent. The Owner Trustee (as such and in its
individual capacity) shall not be personally liable to any Person on account of the Owner Trustee’s good faith reliance on the provisions of this Section or in connection with the Owner Trustee’s giving prior written consent to a
Bankruptcy Action by the Trust in accordance herewith, or withholding such consent, in good faith, and neither the Trust nor the Certificateholder shall have any claim for breach of fiduciary duty or otherwise against the Owner Trustee (as such and
in its individual capacity) for giving or withholding its consent to any such Bankruptcy Action. 

(b)        The parties hereto stipulate and agree that the Certificateholder has no
power to commence any Bankruptcy Action on the part of the Trust or to direct the Owner Trustee to take any Bankruptcy Action on the part of the Trust except as provided in Sections 4.5(a) and 10.13. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the
consent of the Trust Collateral Agent shall be obtained prior to taking any Bankruptcy Action by the Trust. 

(c)        The provisions of this Section do not constitute an acknowledgement or
admission by the Trust, the Owner Trustee, the Certificateholder or any creditor of the Trust that the Trust is eligible to be a debtor, under the United States Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. §§ 101 et seq., as amended. 

SECTION 4.6.         Covenants and Restrictions on Conduct of Business. 

(a)        The Trust agrees to abide by the following restrictions: 

(i)        other than as contemplated by the Basic Documents and
related documentation, the Trust shall not incur any indebtedness; 

(ii)        other than as contemplated by the Basic Documents and

its office and bank accounts separate from any other person or entity; 

(iii)        not commingle its assets with those of any other person
or entity;

and use stationery or other business forms under its own name and not that of the Certificateholder or any Affiliate; 

(v)        other than as contemplated by the Basic Documents and
related documentation, pay its own liabilities and expenses only out of its own funds; 

(vi)        observe all formalities required under the Statutory Trust
Statute; 
 (vii)        not guarantee or become obligated for the
debts of any other person or entity; 
 (viii)        not hold out
its credit as being available to satisfy the obligation of any other person or entity; 

(ix)        not acquire the obligations or securities of the
Certificateholder or its Affiliates; 
 (x)        other than as
contemplated by the Basic Documents and related documentation, not make loans to any other person or entity or buy or hold evidence of indebtedness issued by any other person or entity; 

(xi)        other than as contemplated by the Basic Documents and
related documentation, not pledge its assets for the benefit of any other person or entity; 

(xii)        hold itself out as a separate entity from the
Certificateholder and not conduct any business in the name of the Certificateholder; 

(xiii)        correct any known misunderstanding regarding its
separate identity; 
 (xiv)        not identify itself as a division
(other than for tax reporting purposes) of any other person or entity; and 

(xv)        except as required or specifically provided in the Trust
Agreement, the Trust will conduct business with the Certificateholder or any Affiliate thereof on an arm’s length basis. 

(c)        So long as the Notes or any other amounts owed under the Indenture remain
outstanding, the Trust shall not amend this Section 4.6 unless the Rating Agency Condition has been satisfied.

 Article V. 

Authority and Duties of Owner Trustee 

SECTION 5.1.         General Authority. 

(a)         The Owner Trustee is authorized and directed to execute and deliver the
Basic Documents to which the Trust is named as a party, each certificate or other document attached as an exhibit to or contemplated by the Basic Documents to which the Trust is named as a party and any amendment thereto and on behalf of the Trust,
each State business license (and any renewal thereof) prepared by the Certificateholder or Servicer, including a Sales Finance Company Application (and any renewal thereof) with the Pennsylvania Department of Banking, Licensing Division, and a
Financial Regulation Application (and any renewal thereof) with the Maryland Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation, in each case, in such form as the Depositor shall approve as evidenced conclusively by the Owner Trustee’s execution
thereof, and on behalf of the Trust, to direct the Trustee to authenticate and deliver the Class A-1 Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $230,400,000, the
Class A-2 Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $425,000,000, the Class A-3 Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $425,000,000, the Class A-4 Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $114,690,000, the Class B Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $20,310,000, the Class C Notes in the aggregate principal amount of

Documents. The Owner Trustee is further authorized from time to time to take such action as the Certificateholder recommends with respect to the Basic Documents so long as such activities are consistent with the terms of the Basic Documents. 

(b)        At the written direction of the Certificateholder, the Owner Trustee shall
sign on behalf of the Trust any applicable tax returns of the Trust, unless applicable law requires the Certificateholder to sign such documents. 

SECTION 5.2.         General Duties 

It shall be the duty of the Owner Trustee to discharge (or cause to be discharged) all of its responsibilities pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement and the Sale and Servicing Agreement and to administer the Trust in the interest of the Holder, subject to the Basic Documents and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Owner
Trustee shall be deemed to have discharged its duties and responsibilities hereunder and under the Basic Documents to the extent the Servicer has agreed in the Sale and Servicing Agreement to perform any act or to discharge any duty of the Trust or
the Owner Trustee hereunder or under any Basic Document, and the Owner Trustee shall not be liable for the default or failure of the Servicer to carry out its obligations under the Sale and Servicing Agreement. 

SECTION 5.3.         Action upon Instruction. 

(a)        Subject to Article IV, the Certificateholder shall have the exclusive right
to direct the actions of the Owner Trustee in the management of the Trust, so long as such instructions are 

  
 17 













 
not inconsistent with the express terms set forth herein or in any Basic Document. The Certificateholder shall not instruct the Owner Trustee in a manner inconsistent with this Agreement or the
Basic Documents. 
 (b)        The Owner Trustee shall not be required to take any
action hereunder or under any Basic Document if the Owner Trustee shall have reasonably determined, or shall have been advised by counsel, that such action is likely to result in liability on the part of the Owner Trustee or is contrary to the terms
hereof or of any Basic Document or is otherwise contrary to law. 

(c)        Whenever the Owner Trustee is unable to decide between alternative courses
of action permitted or required by the terms of this Agreement or any Basic Document, the Owner Trustee shall promptly give notice (in such form as shall be appropriate under the circumstances) to the Certificateholder requesting instruction as to
the course of action to be adopted, and to the extent the Owner Trustee acts in good faith in accordance with any written instruction of the Certificateholder received, the Owner Trustee shall not be liable on account of such action to any Person.
If the Owner Trustee shall not have received appropriate instruction within ten (10) days of such notice (or within such shorter period of time as reasonably may be specified in such notice or may be necessary under the circumstances) it may,
but shall be under no duty to, take or refrain from taking such action, not inconsistent with this Agreement or the Basic Documents, as it shall deem to be in the best interests of the Certificateholder, and shall have no liability to any Person for
such action or inaction. 
 (d)        In the event that the Owner Trustee is unsure
as to the application of any provision of this Agreement or any Basic Document or any such provision is ambiguous as to its application, or is, or appears to be, in conflict with any other applicable provision, or in the event that this Agreement
permits any determination by the Owner Trustee or is silent or is incomplete as to the course of action that the Owner Trustee is required to take with respect to a particular set of facts, the Owner Trustee may give notice (in such form as shall be
appropriate under the circumstances) to the Certificateholder requesting instruction and, to the extent that the Owner Trustee acts or refrains from acting in good faith in accordance with any such instruction received, the Owner Trustee shall not
be liable, on account of such action or inaction, to any Person. If the Owner Trustee shall not have received appropriate instruction within ten (10) days of such notice (or within such shorter period of time as reasonably may be specified in
such notice or may be necessary under the circumstances) it may, but shall be under no duty to, take or refrain from taking such action, not inconsistent with this Agreement or the Basic Documents, as it shall deem to be in the best interests of the
Certificateholder, and shall have no liability to any Person for such action or inaction. 
 SECTION 5.4.
        No Duties Except as Specified in this Agreement or in Instructions 

The Owner Trustee shall not have any duty or obligation to manage, make any payment with respect to, register, record, sell,
dispose of, or otherwise deal with the Owner Trust Estate, or to otherwise take or refrain from taking any action under, or in connection with, any document contemplated hereby to which the Owner Trustee is a party, except as expressly provided by
the terms of this Agreement or in any document or written instruction received by the Owner Trustee pursuant to Section 5.3; and no implied duties (including fiduciary duties) or obligations existing at law or in equity shall be read into this
Agreement or any Basic Document against the Owner 

  
 18 













 
Trustee. The Owner Trustee shall have no responsibility for filing any trust licensing or qualifications to do business, tax filing, financing or continuation statement in any public office at
any time or to otherwise perfect or maintain the perfection of any ownership or security interest or lien granted to it hereunder or to prepare or file any Commission filing (including any filings required pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002
or any rule or regulation promulgated thereunder) for the Trust or to record this Agreement or any Basic Document. The Owner Trustee nevertheless agrees that it will, at its own cost and expense, promptly take all action as may be necessary to
discharge any Liens on any part of the Owner Trust Estate that result from actions by, or claims against, the Owner Trustee (solely in its individual capacity) and that are not related to the ownership or the administration of the Owner Trust
Estate. 
 SECTION 5.5.         No Action Except under Specified Documents or
Instructions 
 The Owner Trustee shall not manage, control, use, sell, dispose of or otherwise deal with any part of
the Owner Trust Estate except (a) in accordance with the powers granted to and the authority conferred upon the Owner Trustee pursuant to this Agreement, (b) in accordance with the Basic Documents and (c) in accordance with any
document or instruction delivered to the Owner Trustee pursuant to Section 5.3. 
 SECTION 5.6.

delivery by it of this Agreement, and this Agreement will be executed and delivered by one of its officers who is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Agreement on its behalf. 

(c)        Neither the execution nor the delivery by it of this Agreement, nor the
consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby nor compliance by it with any of the terms or provisions hereof will contravene any federal or Delaware state law, governmental rule or regulation governing the banking or trust powers of
Wilmington Trust Company or any judgment or order binding on it, or constitute any default under its charter documents or by-laws or any indenture, mortgage, contract, agreement or instrument to which it is a
party or by which any of its properties may be bound. 
 (d)        The Agreement
has been, or, when executed and delivered will have been, duly authorized, validly executed and delivered by Wilmington Trust Company and constitutes, a valid and binding agreement of Wilmington Trust Company, enforceable against Wilmington Trust
Company in accordance with its terms, except to the extent that enforceability may (i) be subject to insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, or other similar laws, regulations or procedures of general applicability now or hereinafter in effect
relating to or affecting creditor’s rights generally and (ii) be limited by general principles of equity (whether considered in a proceeding at law or in equity). 

(e)        There are no proceedings or investigations pending or, to the actual
knowledge of a Responsible Officer of Wilmington Trust Company, threatened, before any court, regulatory body, administrative agency or other governmental instrumentality having jurisdiction over Wilmington Trust Company or its properties

anyone in acting upon any signature, instrument, notice, resolution, request, consent, order, judgment, certificate, report, opinion, bond or other document or paper believed by it to be genuine and believed by it to be signed by the proper party or
parties. The Owner Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in any such document, including verifying the correctness of any numbers or calculations. The Owner 

  
 22 













 
Trustee may accept a certified copy of a resolution of the board of directors or other governing body of any corporate party as conclusive evidence that such resolution has been duly adopted by
such body and that the same is in full force and effect. As to any fact or matter, the method of the determination of which is not specifically prescribed herein, the Owner Trustee may for all purposes hereof rely on a certificate, signed by the
president or any vice president or by the treasurer, secretary or other authorized officers of the relevant party, as to such fact or matter, and such certificate shall constitute full protection to the Owner Trustee for any action taken or omitted
to be taken by it in good faith in reliance thereon. 
 (b)        In the exercise
or administration of the trusts hereunder and in the performance of its duties and obligations under this Agreement or the Basic Documents, the Owner Trustee (i) may act directly or through its agents or attorneys pursuant to agreements entered

as may be reasonably necessary for such persons to render such opinion or advice. 
 SECTION 6.5.
        Not Acting in Individual Capacity

SECTION 6.6.         Owner Trustee Not Liable for Certificate or Receivables

 The recitals contained herein and in the Certificate (other than the signature and countersignature of the Owner Trustee
on the Certificate) shall be taken as the statements of the Depositor and the Owner Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness thereof. The Owner Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement, of any
Basic Document or of the Certificate (other than the signature and countersignature of the Owner Trustee on the Certificate) or the Notes, or of any Receivable or related documents. The Owner Trustee shall at no time have any responsibility or
liability for or with respect to the legality, validity and enforceability of any Receivable, or the perfection and priority of any security interest created by any Receivable in any Financed Vehicle or the maintenance of any such perfection and
priority, or for or with respect to the sufficiency of the Owner Trust Estate or its ability to generate the payments to be distributed to the Certificateholder under this Agreement or the Noteholders under the Indenture, including, without
limitation: the existence, condition and ownership of any Financed Vehicle; the existence and enforceability of any insurance thereon; the existence and contents of any Receivable on any computer or other record thereof; the validity of the
assignment of any Receivable to the Trust or of any intervening assignment; the completeness of any 

  
 23 













 
Receivable; the performance or enforcement of any Receivable; the compliance by the Depositor, the Servicer or any other Person with any warranty or representation made under any Basic Document
or in any related document or the accuracy of any such warranty or representation or any action of the Trustee or the Servicer or any subservicer taken in the name of the Owner Trustee. 

SECTION 6.7.         Owner Trustee May Own Notes 

The Owner Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of the Notes and may deal with the
Depositor, the Trustee and the Servicer in banking transactions with the same rights as it would have if it were not Owner Trustee. 

SECTION 6.8.         Payments from Owner Trust Estate 

All payments to be made by the Owner Trustee under this Agreement or any of the Basic Documents to which the Trust or the
Owner Trustee is a party shall be made only from the income and proceeds of the Owner Trust Estate and only to the extent that the Owner Trustee shall have received income or proceeds from the Owner Trust Estate to make such payments in accordance

 SECTION 6.9.         Doing Business in Other Jurisdictions 

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, neither Wilmington Trust Company or any successor thereto, nor the
Owner Trustee shall be required to take any action in any jurisdiction other than in the State of Delaware if the taking of such action will, even after the appointment of a co-trustee or separate trustee in
accordance with Section 9.5, (a) require the consent or approval or authorization or order of or the giving of notice to, or the registration with or the taking of any other action in respect of, any State or other governmental authority or
agency of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware; (b) result in any fee, tax or other governmental charge under the laws of the State of Delaware becoming payable by Wilmington Trust Company (or any successor thereto); or

Trust Company (or any successor thereto) or the Owner Trustee, as the case may be, contemplated hereby. 
 SECTION 6.10.
        FATCA Information 
 Each Certificateholder or Holder, by acceptance
of such Certificate or such interest therein, agrees to provide to the Owner Trustee, upon its reasonable request, the FATCA Information to the extent such Certificateholder or Holder is legally entitled to do so. In addition, each Certificateholder
or Holder, by acceptance of such Certificate or such interest therein, agrees that the Owner Trustee has the right to withhold or deduct (and to promptly pay over, in full, to the relevant taxing authority) any amounts properly withheld or deducted
under law (and without any corresponding gross-up) payable to a Certificateholder or Holder that fails to comply with the requirements of the preceding sentence.

 SECTION 6.11.         Financial
Crimes Enforcement Network’s Customer Due Diligence 
 To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and
money laundering activities, the Customer Identification Program requirements established under the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001, Title III of Pub. L. 107
56 and its implementing regulations (together, the “USA PATRIOT Act”), the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network’s Customer Due Diligence Requirements (the “FinCEN Due Diligence Requirements”) and such other laws,
rules, regulations and executive orders in effect from time to time applicable to banking institutions (collectively, with the USA PATRIOT Act and FinCEN Due Diligence Requirements, the “Applicable Anti-Money Laundering Law”),
requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Person who opens an account. Accordingly, in order to comply with Applicable Anti-Money-Laundering Law, the Owner Trustee will request on or before the
Closing Date and from time to time thereafter reasonable documentation to verify and record information that identifies each Person who opens an account. For a non-individual Person, such as a business entity,
a charity, a trust or other “legal entity customer” (as defined in the FinCEN Due Diligence Requirements), the Owner Trustee may request and shall be entitled to receive from such Person reasonable documentation to verify its formation and
existence as a legal entity, financial statements, licenses, tax identification documents, and identification and authorization documents from individuals claiming authority to represent the entity or other relevant documentation and information
(including beneficial owners of such entities) (collectively, the “Owner Trustee Due Diligence Documents”). Failure by a Person who opens an account to provide such Owner Trustee Due Diligence Documents may result in an inability of
the Owner Trustee to perform its obligations hereunder which, at the sole option of the Owner Trustee, may result in the immediate resignation of the Owner Trustee pursuant to, and subject to the requirements of Section 9.2. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if such Person who opens an account is not a legal entity customer (as defined in the FinCEN Due Diligence Requirements), in the determination of the Owner Trustee (in the Owner Trustee’s reasonable discretion), such Person shall not
be required to provide to the Owner Trustee the Owner Trustee Due Diligence Documents, and any such requirement to provide such information shall be deemed satisfied. 

SECTION 6.12.         Beneficial Ownership and Control of the Trust 

The parties hereto agree that for purposes of the Applicable Anti-Money-Laundering Laws (a) the Certificateholders are
and shall be deemed to be the sole beneficial owners of the Trust and (b) the Certificateholders and the Administrator are, and shall deemed to be, the parties with the power and authority to control the Trust. 

Article VII. 
 Compensation of
Owner Trustee 
 SECTION 7.1.         Owner Trustee’s Fees and
Expenses 
 The Owner Trustee shall receive as compensation for its services hereunder such fees as have been
separately agreed upon before the date hereof between GM Financial and the Owner Trustee, and the Owner Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed by the Depositor for its 

  
 25 













 
other reasonable expenses hereunder, including the reasonable compensation, expenses and disbursements of such agents, representatives, experts and counsel as the Owner Trustee may employ in
connection with the exercise and performance of its rights and its duties hereunder and under the Basic Documents. GM Financial shall be jointly and severally liable for the fees and expenses owing to the Owner Trustee under this Section 7.1.

 SECTION 7.2.         Indemnification 

The Depositor shall be liable as primary obligor for, and shall indemnify the Owner Trustee and its officers, directors,
successors, assigns, agents and servants (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, taxes, claims, actions and suits, and any and all reasonable costs, expenses
and disbursements (including reasonable legal fees, costs and expenses and including, without limitation, any legal fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with any enforcement (including any action, claim or suit) brought by the Owner
Trustee for any indemnification or other obligation of the Depositor) of any kind and nature whatsoever (collectively, “Expenses”) which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Owner Trustee or any
Indemnified Party in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the Basic Documents, the Owner Trust Estate, the administration of the Owner Trust Estate or the action or inaction of the Owner Trustee hereunder, except only that the
Depositor shall not be liable for or required to indemnify the Owner Trustee from and against Expenses arising or resulting from any of the matters described in the third sentence of Section 6.1(a). The indemnities contained in this Section and
the rights under Section 7.1 shall survive the resignation or termination of the Owner Trustee or the termination of this Agreement. In any event of any claim, action or proceeding for which indemnity will be sought pursuant to this Section,
the Owner Trustee’s choice of legal counsel shall be subject to the approval of the Depositor which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. GM Financial shall be jointly and severally liable for the indemnification duties and obligations
of the Depositor which are described in this Section 7.2. 
 SECTION 7.3.
        Payments to the Owner Trustee 
 Any amounts paid to the Owner
Trustee pursuant to this Article VII shall be deemed not to be a part of the Owner Trust Estate immediately after such payment. 

SECTION 7.4.         Non-recourse
Obligations 
 Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any Basic Document, the Owner Trustee agrees in its
individual capacity and in its capacity as Owner Trustee for the Trust that all obligations of the Trust to the Owner Trustee individually or as Owner Trustee for the Trust shall be with recourse to the Owner Trust Estate only and specifically shall
be without recourse to the assets of the Holder.

 Article VIII. 

Termination of Trust Agreement 

SECTION 8.1.     Termination of Trust Agreement. 

(a)        The Trust shall dissolve in accordance with Section 3808 of the
Statutory Trust Statute upon the maturity or other liquidation of the last Receivable (including the purchase by the Servicer at its option or by the Seller at its option of the corpus of the Trust as described in Section 10.1 of the Sale and
Servicing Agreement) and the subsequent distribution of amounts in respect of such Receivables as provided in the Basic Documents; provided, however, that the rights to indemnification under Section 7.2 and the rights under Section 7.1
shall survive the dissolution of the Trust. The Seller or the Servicer shall promptly notify the Owner Trustee of any prospective dissolution pursuant to this Section. For the avoidance of doubt, except as described in Section 8.1(d), the Owner
Trustee shall have no responsibility for the dissolution, or winding-up, of the Trust. The bankruptcy, liquidation, dissolution, death or incapacity of the Certificateholder, shall not (i) operate to
terminate this Agreement or the Trust, nor (ii) entitle the Certificateholder’s legal representatives or heirs to claim an accounting or to take any action or proceeding in any court for a partition or winding up of all or any part of the
Trust or Owner Trust Estate nor (iii) otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the parties hereto. 

(b)        Neither the Depositor nor the Certificateholder shall be entitled to revoke
or terminate the Trust. 
 (c)        Notice of any termination of the Trust,
specifying the Distribution Date upon which the Certificateholder shall surrender the Certificate to the Owner Trustee for payment of the final distribution by the Certificate Paying Agent and cancellation, shall be given by the Servicer on behalf
of the Owner Trustee by letter to the Certificateholder mailed within five (5) Business Days of receipt of notice of such termination from the Servicer given pursuant to Section 10.1(c) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, stating
(i) the Distribution Date upon or with respect to which final payment of the Certificate shall be made upon presentation and surrender of the Certificate at the office of the Owner Trustee therein designated, (ii) the amount of any such
final payment, (iii) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable, payments being made only upon presentation and surrender of the Certificate at the office of the Owner Trustee therein specified and
(iv) interest will cease to accrue on the Certificate. The Servicer on behalf of the Owner Trustee shall give such notice to the Trust Collateral Agent at the time such notice is given to the Certificateholder. Upon presentation and surrender
of the Certificate, the Certificate Paying Agent shall cause to be distributed to the Certificateholder amounts distributable on such Distribution Date pursuant to Section 5.7 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. 

In the event that the Certificateholder shall not surrender the Certificate for cancellation within six months after the date
specified in the above mentioned written notice, the Servicer on behalf of the Owner Trustee shall give a second written notice to the Certificateholder to surrender the Certificate for cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect
thereto. If within one year after the second notice the Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Owner Trustee may take appropriate steps, or may appoint an agent to take appropriate steps, to contact the Certificateholder
concerning surrender of its Certificate, and the cost thereof shall be 

  
 27 













 
paid out of the funds and other assets that shall remain subject to this Agreement. Any funds remaining in the Trust after exhaustion of such remedies shall be distributed, subject to applicable
escheat laws, by the Owner Trustee to the Holder. 
 (d)        Upon the completion
of the winding up of the Trust in accordance with Section 3808 of the Statutory Trust Statute, this Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force or effect except as expressly set forth herein and the Owner Trustee, at the direction and
expense of the Depositor, shall cause the Certificate of Trust to be canceled by filing a certificate of cancellation with the Secretary of State in accordance with the provisions of Section 3810 of the Statutory Trust Statute. 

Article IX. 
 Successor Owner
Trustees and Additional Owner Trustees 
 SECTION 9.1.         Eligibility
Requirements for Owner Trustee 
 The Owner Trustee shall at all times be a Person (a) satisfying the provisions
of Section 3807(a) of the Statutory Trust Statute; (b) authorized to exercise corporate trust powers; and (c) having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by federal or State
authorities. If such Person shall publish reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purpose of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of
such Person shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. In case at any time the Owner Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section,
the Owner Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 9.2. 
 SECTION 9.2.
        Resignation or Removal of Owner Trustee 
 The Owner Trustee may at
any time resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby created by giving written notice thereof to the Depositor and the Servicer. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Depositor shall promptly appoint a successor Owner Trustee by written
instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Owner Trustee and one copy to the successor Owner Trustee. If no successor Owner Trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within
thirty (30) days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Owner Trustee or the Certificateholder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Owner Trustee. 

If at any time the Owner Trustee shall (a) cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.1 and
shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Depositor, (b) be legally unable to act, or shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Owner Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer
shall take charge or control of the Owner Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, or (c) be removed as Certificate Paying Agent pursuant to Section 3.10, then the Depositor may
remove the Owner Trustee by sending written notice of such removal to the Owner Trustee. If the Depositor shall remove the Owner Trustee under the authority of the immediately 

  
 28 













 
preceding sentence, the Depositor shall promptly (x) appoint a successor Owner Trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the outgoing
Owner Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor Owner Trustee, and (y) pay all fees owed to the outgoing Owner Trustee. 

Any resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee and appointment of a successor Owner Trustee pursuant to any of the provisions
of this Section shall not become effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor Owner Trustee pursuant to Section 9.3 and payment of all fees and expenses owed to the outgoing Owner Trustee. The Depositor shall provide notice of
such resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee to each of the Rating Agencies. The Trust shall pay any costs and expenses associated with the replacement of the Owner Trustee. To the extent the Trust fails to pay any such costs or expenses before
the Distribution Date following the replacement of the Owner Trustee, the Depositor shall pay such amount then outstanding. 

SECTION 9.3.         Successor Owner Trustee 

Any successor Owner Trustee appointed pursuant to Section 9.2 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor,
the Servicer and to its predecessor Owner Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment under this Agreement, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor Owner Trustee shall become effective and such successor Owner Trustee,
without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor under this Agreement, with like effect as if originally named as Owner Trustee. The predecessor Owner
Trustee shall upon payment of its fees and expenses deliver to the successor Owner Trustee all documents and statements and monies held by it under this Agreement; and the Depositor and the predecessor Owner Trustee shall execute and deliver such
instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required for fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor Owner Trustee all such rights, powers, duties and obligations. 

No successor Owner Trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section unless at the time of such acceptance such
successor Owner Trustee shall be eligible pursuant to Section 9.1. 
 Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor
Owner Trustee pursuant to this Section, the Servicer shall mail notice of the successor of such Owner Trustee to the Certificateholder, the Trustee, the Noteholders and the Rating Agencies. If the Servicer shall fail to mail such notice within ten
(10) days after acceptance of appointment by the successor Owner Trustee, the successor Owner Trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Servicer. 

SECTION 9.4.         Merger or Consolidation of Owner Trustee 

Any Person into which the Owner Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person
resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Owner Trustee shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Owner Trustee, shall be the successor of the Owner
Trustee hereunder, provided such Person shall be eligible pursuant to Section 9.1, without the execution or filing of any instrument or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything


  
 29 













 
herein to the contrary notwithstanding; provided, further, that the Owner Trustee shall mail notice of such merger or consolidation or succession to the Depositor (who shall notify
the Rating Agencies). 
 SECTION 9.5.         Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee 
 Notwithstanding any other provisions of this
Agreement, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Owner Trust Estate or any Financed Vehicle may at the time be located, the Servicer and the Owner Trustee acting jointly shall
have the power and shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by the Owner Trustee to act as co-trustee, jointly with the Owner Trustee, or separate trustee or separate
trustees, of all or any part of the Owner Trust Estate, and to vest in such Person, in such capacity, such title to the Trust, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and
trusts as the Servicer and the Owner Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If the Servicer shall not have joined in such appointment within fifteen (15) days after the receipt by it of a request to do so, the Owner Trustee shall have the
power to make such appointment. No co-trustee or separate trustee under this Agreement shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee pursuant to Section 9.1 and no notice of
the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required pursuant to Section 9.3. 

Each separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, be
appointed and act subject to the following provisions and conditions: 

(a)        all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the
Owner Trustee shall be conferred upon and exercised or performed by the Owner Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being understood that such separate trustee or co-trustee is not authorized to act separately without the Owner Trustee joining in such act), except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed, the
Owner Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to the Trust or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be
exercised and performed singly by such separate trustee or co-trustee, but solely at the direction of the Owner Trustee; 

(b)        no trustee under this Agreement shall be personally liable by reason of any
act or omission of any other trustee under this Agreement; and 
 (c)        the
Servicer and the Owner Trustee acting jointly may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee. 

Any notice, request or other writing given to the Owner Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then
separate trustees and co-trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this
Agreement and the conditions of this Article. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its instrument of
appointment, either jointly with the Owner Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement, specifically including every provision of 

  
 30 













 
this Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Owner Trustee. Each such instrument shall be filed with the Owner Trustee and a copy thereof
given to the Servicer. 
 Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time appoint
the Owner Trustee, its agent or attorney-in-fact with full power and authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this
Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall
vest in and be exercised by the Owner Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor trustee.

 Miscellaneous

 SECTION 10.1.            Supplements and Amendments.

 (a)        This Agreement may be amended by the Depositor and the Owner Trustee,
and with prior written notice by the Depositor to the Rating Agencies, without the consent of any of the Noteholders or the Certificateholder, (i) to cure any ambiguity or defect or (ii) to correct, supplement or modify any provisions in
this Agreement; provided, however, that such action shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Owner Trustee which may be based upon a certificate of the Servicer, adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any
Noteholder or Certificateholder. 
 (b)        This Agreement may also be amended
from time to time by the Depositor and the Owner Trustee, with prior written notice by the Depositor to the Rating Agencies, to the extent such amendment materially and adversely affects the interests of the Noteholders, with the consent of the
Noteholders evidencing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, and the consent of the Certificateholder (which consent of any Holder of a Certificate or Note given pursuant to this Section or pursuant to any other provision
of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder) for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the
Noteholders or the Certificateholder; provided, however, that no such amendment shall (i) increase or reduce in any manner the amount of, or accelerate or delay the timing of, collections of payments on Receivables or distributions that shall
be required to be made for the benefit of the Noteholders or the Certificateholder or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes and the Certificate balance required to consent to any such amendment, without the
consent of the Holders of all the outstanding Notes and the Certificateholder. 
 Promptly after the execution of any such
amendment or consent, the Owner Trustee shall furnish written notification of the substance of such amendment or consent to the Certificateholder, the Trustee and the Depositor (who shall send such notification to each of the Rating Agencies). 

It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Certificateholder, the Noteholders or the Trustee pursuant to this Section to
approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or 

  
 31 













 
consent, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. The manner of obtaining such consents (and any other consents of the Certificateholder provided for in
this Agreement or in any Basic Document) and of evidencing the authorization of the execution thereof by the Certificateholder shall be subject to such reasonable requirements as the Owner Trustee may prescribe. Promptly after the execution of any
amendment to the Certificate of Trust, the Owner Trustee shall cause the filing of such amendment with the Secretary of State. 

Prior to the execution of any amendment to this Agreement or the Certificate of Trust, the Owner Trustee shall be entitled to
receive and rely upon an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amendment is authorized or permitted by this Agreement and that all conditions precedent to the execution and delivery of such amendment have been satisfied. The Owner
Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such amendment which affects the Owner Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Agreement or otherwise. 

SECTION 10.2.        No Legal Title to Owner Trust Estate in Certificateholder

 The Certificateholder shall not have legal title to any part of the Owner Trust Estate. The Certificateholder shall be
entitled to receive distributions in accordance with Article VIII and Article XI. No transfer, by operation of law or otherwise, of any right, title or interest of the Certificateholder to and in its ownership interest in the Owner Trust Estate

notice.

 (c)        Where this Agreement
provides for notice or delivery of documents to the Rating Agencies, failure to give such notice or deliver such documents shall not affect any other rights or obligations created hereunder. 

SECTION 10.5.         Severability 

Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be
ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in
any other jurisdiction. 
 SECTION 10.6.         Counterparts and Consent to Do
Business Electronically 
 This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be
an original, but together they shall constitute one and the same instrument. Facsimile and .pdf signatures shall be deemed valid and binding to the same extent as the original and the parties affirmatively consent to the use thereof, with no such
consent having been withdrawn. Each party agrees that this Agreement and any documents to be delivered in connection with this Agreement may be executed by means of an electronic signature that complies with the federal Electronic Signatures in
Global and National Commerce Act, state enactments of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, and/or any other relevant electronic signatures law, in each case to the extent applicable. Any electronic signatures appearing on this Agreement and such
other documents are the same as handwritten signatures for the purposes of validity, enforceability, and admissibility. Each party hereto shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon, and shall have no liability with respect to, any electronic
signature or faxed, scanned, or photocopied manual signature of any other party and shall have no duty to investigate, confirm or otherwise verify the validity or authenticity thereof. 

SECTION 10.7.         Assignments 

This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto, and their respective successors and
permitted assigns. 
 SECTION 10.8.         No Recourse

Trust only and does not represent interests in or obligations of the Seller, the Servicer, the Owner Trustee, the Trustee, or any Affiliate thereof and no recourse may be had against such parties or their assets, except as may be expressly set forth
or contemplated in this Agreement, the Certificate or the Basic Documents.

terrorism, pandemic or epidemic, any provision of any present or future law or regulation or any act of any governmental authority, and any interruption, loss or malfunction of utilities, communications, computer services (software or hardware) or

SECTION 10.11.         GOVERNING LAW 

THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO

SECTION 10.12.         Servicer 

(a)        The Servicer is authorized to prepare, or cause to be prepared, execute and
deliver on behalf of the Trust, all such documents, reports, filings, instruments, certificates and opinions as it shall be the duty of the Trust or Owner Trustee to prepare, file or deliver pursuant to the Basic Documents. The Owner Trustee is
hereby authorized and directed to execute and deliver to the Servicer a limited power of attorney appointing the Servicer as the Trust’s agent and attorney-in-fact
to prepare, or cause to be prepared, execute and deliver all such documents, reports, filings, instruments, certificates and opinions. 

(b)        It shall be the Servicer’s duty and responsibility, and not the Owner
Trustee’s duty or responsibility, to cause the Trust to respond to, defend, participate in or otherwise act in connection with any regulatory, administrative, governmental, investigative or other proceeding or inquiry relating in any way to the
Trust, its assets or the conduct of its business; provided, that, the Owner Trustee hereby agrees to cooperate with the Servicer and to comply with any reasonable request made by the Servicer for the delivery of information or documents to the

Trust, acquiesce, petition or otherwise invoke or cause the Trust to invoke the process of any court or government authority for the purpose of commencing or sustaining a case against the Trust under any federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency or
similar law or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other similar 

  
 34

(b)        To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, notwithstanding any
prior termination of this Agreement, but subject to the provisions of Section 4.5, the Owner Trustee shall not, prior to the date which is one (1) year and one (1) day after the termination of this Agreement, with respect to the
Trust, acquiesce, petition or otherwise invoke or cause the Trust to invoke the process of any court or government authority for the purpose of commencing or sustaining an involuntary case against the Trust under any federal or State bankruptcy,

 SECTION 10.14.         Regulation AB. The Owner Trustee
acknowledges and agrees that the purpose of this Section 10.14 is to facilitate compliance by the Trust with the provisions of Regulation AB and related rules and regulations of the Commission. The Owner Trustee acknowledges that
interpretations of the requirements of Regulation AB may change over time, whether due to interpretive guidance provided by the Commission or its staff, consensus among participants in the asset-backed securities markets, advice of counsel, or
otherwise, and agrees hereby to comply with reasonable requests made by the Servicer in good faith for delivery of information under these provisions on the basis of evolving interpretations of Regulation AB. The Owner Trustee shall cooperate fully
with the Servicer and the Trust to deliver to the Servicer and the Trust any and all statements, reports, certifications, records and any other information necessary in the good faith determination of the Servicer to permit the Servicer and the
Trust to comply with the provisions of Regulation AB, together with such disclosures relating to the Owner Trustee reasonably believed by the Servicer to be necessary in order to effect such compliance. 

Article XI. 
 Application of
Trust Funds; Certain Duties 
 SECTION 11.1.        Establishment of Trust
Accounts  
 (a)        The Owner Trustee, for the benefit of the
Certificateholder, shall cause the Certificate Paying Agent to establish and maintain in the name of the Trust a distribution non-interest bearing account (the “Certificate Distribution
Account”), bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Certificateholder. The Certificate Distribution Account shall be maintained as an Eligible Deposit Account;
provided, however, that so long as (i) the long-term unsecured debt of the related depository institution shall have a credit rating of investment grade or better by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization, and
(ii) such depository institution’s deposits are insured by the FDIC, such account shall be deemed to be an Eligible Deposit Account. 

(b)        The Trust shall possess all right, title and interest in all funds on
deposit from time to time in the Certificate Distribution Account and in all proceeds thereof. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Certificate Distribution Account shall be under the sole dominion and control of the Owner Trustee for
the benefit of the Certificateholder. If, at any time, the 

  
 35 













 
Certificate Distribution Account ceases to be an Eligible Deposit Account, the Certificate Paying Agent shall within ten (10) Business Days establish a new Certificate Distribution Account
as an Eligible Deposit Account and shall transfer any cash or any investments to such new Certificate Distribution Account; provided, however, that so long as (i) the long-term unsecured debt of the related depository institution
shall have a credit rating of investment grade or better by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization, and (ii) such depository institution’s deposits are insured by the FDIC, such account shall be deemed to be an Eligible
Deposit Account. 
 SECTION 11.2.         Application of Trust Funds 

(a)        On each Distribution Date, the Owner Trustee shall cause the Certificate
Paying Agent to distribute amounts deposited in the Certificate Distribution Account pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement with respect to such Distribution Date in the following order of priority: 

(i)        to make payments to the Certificateholder, any remaining
amount deposited therein; and 
 (ii)        to clear and terminate
the Certificate Distribution Account upon the termination of this Agreement. 

(b)        In the event that any withholding tax is imposed on the Trust’s
payment (or allocations of income) to the Certificateholder, such tax shall reduce the amount otherwise distributable to the Certificateholder in accordance with this Section. The Owner Trustee or Certificate Paying Agent is hereby authorized and
directed to retain from amounts otherwise distributable to the Certificateholder sufficient funds for the payment of any tax that is legally owed by the Trust (but such authorization shall not prevent the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Paying
Agent from contesting any such tax in appropriate proceedings and withholding payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings). The amount of any withholding tax imposed with respect to the Certificateholder shall
be treated as cash distributed to the Certificateholder at the time it is withheld by the Trust and remitted to the appropriate taxing authority. If there is a possibility that withholding tax is payable with respect to a distribution (such as a
distribution to a non-U.S. Certificateholder), the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Paying Agent may in its sole discretion withhold such amounts in accordance with this paragraph. 

(c)        The Owner Trustee and the Certificate Paying Agent shall be fully protected
in relying upon, and each Holder by its acceptance of the Certificate hereunder agrees to indemnify and hold the Owner Trustee and the Certificate Paying Agent harmless against all claims or liability of any kind arising in connection with or
related to the Owner Trustee’s and the Certificate Paying Agent’s reliance upon any documents, forms or information provided by any Holder to the Owner Trustee and the Certificate Paying Agent. 

SECTION 11.3.         Method of Payment  

Distributions required to be made to the Certificateholder on any Distribution Date shall be made to the Certificateholder of
record on the preceding Record Date either by wire transfer, in immediately available funds, to the account of the Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if the Certificateholder shall have provided to
the Certificate Registrar and the Certificate Paying Agent appropriate written instructions at least five 

  
 36 













 
(5) Business Days prior to such Distribution Date, or, if not, by check mailed to the Certificateholder at the address of the Certificateholder appearing in the Certificate Register.

THIS CERTIFICATE IS NOT TRANSFERABLE, 

EXCEPT UNDER THE LIMITED CONDITIONS 

SPECIFIED IN THE TRUST AGREEMENT 
  

 
 ASSET BACKED
CERTIFICATE 
 evidencing a beneficial ownership interest in certain distributions of the Trust, as defined below, the property of which
includes a pool of retail installment sale contracts secured by new or used automobiles, utility vehicles or light duty trucks and sold to the Trust by AFS SenSub Corp. 

(This Certificate does not represent an interest in or obligation of AFS SenSub Corp. or any of its Affiliates, except to the extent
described below.) 
 THIS CERTIFIES THAT AFS SenSub Corp. is the registered owner of a nonassessable, fully-paid,
beneficial ownership interest in certain distributions of GM Financial Consumer Automobile Receivables Trust 2021-3 (the “Trust”) formed by AFS SenSub Corp., a Nevada corporation (the
“Seller”). 
 The Trust was created pursuant to a Trust Agreement, dated as ofJune 16, 2021, as
amended and restated as of July 21, 2021 (the “Trust Agreement”), between the Seller and Wilmington Trust Company, as owner trustee (the “Owner Trustee”), a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of
which is set forth below. To the extent not otherwise defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Trust Agreement. 

This is the duly authorized Certificate designated as “Asset Backed Certificate” (herein called the
“Certificate”). Also issued under the Indenture, dated as of July 21, 2021, among the Trust and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee and trust collateral agent, are seven classes of Notes designated as “Class A-1 0.08613% Asset Backed Notes” (the “Class A-1 Notes”), “Class A-2 0.21% Asset Backed Notes” (the
“Class A-2 Notes”), “Class A-3 0.48% Asset Backed Notes” (the “Class A-3 Notes”),
“Class A-4 0.73% Asset Backed Notes” (the “Class A-4 Notes” and together with the Class A-1
Notes, the Class A-2 Notes and the Class A-3 Notes, the “Class A Notes”), “Class B 0.97% Asset Backed Notes” (the “Class B
Notes”), “Class C 1.07% Asset Backed Notes” (the “Class C Notes”) and “Class D 0.00% Asset Backed Notes” (the “Class D Notes” and collectively with the Class A Notes, the
Class B Notes and the Class C Notes, the “Notes”). This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Trust Agreement, to which Trust Agreement the holder of this Certificate by
virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such holder is bound. The property of the Trust includes 












 
a pool of retail installment sale contracts secured by new and used automobiles, utility vehicles or light duty trucks (the “Receivables”), all monies due thereunder on or after
the Cutoff Date, security interests in the vehicles financed thereby, certain bank accounts and the proceeds thereof, proceeds from claims on certain insurance policies and certain other rights under the Trust Agreement and the Sale and Servicing
Agreement, all right, title and interest of the Seller in and to the Purchase Agreement, dated as of July 21, 2021, between GM Financial and the Seller and all proceeds of the foregoing. 

The holder of this Certificate acknowledges and agrees that its rights to receive distributions in respect of this Certificate
are subordinated to the rights of the Noteholders as described in the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Indenture and the Trust Agreement, as applicable. 

Distributions on this Certificate will be made as provided in the Trust Agreement or any Basic Document by wire transfer or
check mailed to the Certificateholder without the presentation or surrender of this Certificate or the making of any notation hereon. Except as otherwise provided in the Trust Agreement and notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this
Certificate will be made after due notice by the Servicer on behalf of the Owner Trustee of the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the office or agency maintained for the purpose by the
Owner Trustee in the Corporate Trust Office. 
 Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Certificate set
forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place. 

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon shall have been executed by an authorized officer of the Owner Trustee, by
manual signature, this Certificate shall not entitle the holder hereof to any benefit under the Trust Agreement or the Sale and Servicing Agreement or be valid for any purpose. 

THIS CERTIFICATE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO
ITS CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS, AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.

 (Reverse of Certificate) 

The Certificate does not represent an obligation of, or an interest in, the Seller, the Servicer, the Owner Trustee or any
Affiliates of any of them and no recourse may be had against such parties or their assets, except as may be expressly set forth or contemplated herein or in the Trust Agreement, the Indenture or the Basic Documents. In addition, this Certificate is
not guaranteed by any governmental agency or instrumentality and is limited in right of payment to certain collections with respect to the Receivables, all as more specifically set forth herein and in the Sale and Servicing Agreement. A copy of each
of the Sale and Servicing Agreement and the Trust Agreement may be examined during normal business hours at the principal office of the Seller, and at such other places, if any, designated by the Seller, by the Certificateholder upon written
request. 
 The Trust Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the
modification of the rights and obligations of the Seller under the Trust Agreement at any time by the Seller and the Owner Trustee with the consent of the Majority Noteholders and the Certificateholder. Any such consent by the Holder of this
Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and on all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made
upon this Certificate. The Trust Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Certificateholder. 

As provided in the Trust Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is
registrable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or agencies of the Certificate Registrar maintained by the Owner Trustee in the Corporate Trust Office, accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Owner Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the holder hereof or such holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon a new Certificate evidencing the same
aggregate interest in the Trust will be issued to the designated transferee. The initial Certificate Registrar appointed under the Trust Agreement is Wilmington Trust Company. No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or
exchange, but the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge payable in connection therewith. 

This certificate may not be held or beneficially owned by any Person that is not a United States person as defined under
Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code. 
 No sale or transfer of a Certificate shall be permitted (including, without
limitation, by pledge or hypothecation), and no such sale or transfer shall be registered by the Certificate Registrar or be effective hereunder, if the sale or transfer thereof increases to more than ninety-five (95) the sum of the number of
Certificateholders. For purposes of determining the total number of Certificateholders, a beneficial owner of an interest in a partnership, grantor trust, S corporation or other flow-through entity that owns, directly or through other flow-through
entities, a Certificate is treated as a holder of a Certificate if (i) substantially all of the value of the beneficial owner’s interest (directly or indirectly) in the flow-through entity is
attributed to the flow-through entity’s interest in the Certificate and (ii) a principal purpose of the use of the flow-through entity to hold the Certificate is to satisfy the 95-holder limitation
set out above. If using a flow-through 

  
 A-4 













 
entity to acquire a Certificate, the Certificateholder shall be deemed to have represented that it is not using the flow-through entity in order to avoid the
95-holder limitation set out above. In addition, no sale or transfer of a Certificate shall be registered by the Certificate Registrar or made effective hereunder unless, as evidenced by a written
representation and covenant by the transferee in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar (upon which representation and covenant the Certificate Registrar may conclusively rely without independent investigation), no member of the
transferee’s expanded group as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.385-1(c)(4) (including through a controlled partnership as defined in Treasury Regulation
Section 1.385-1(c)(1)) is or will become the beneficial owner of a Note. If a Certificateholder or a member of its expanded group becomes the beneficial owner of a Note, the Depositor is authorized at its
discretion to compel such Certificateholder to sell its Certificate to a Person whose ownership complies with this paragraph so long as such sale does not otherwise cause a material adverse effect on the Trust. 

The Owner Trustee and any agent of the Owner Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the
owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Owner Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. 

The obligations and responsibilities created by the Trust Agreement and the Trust created thereby shall terminate upon the
payment to the Certificateholder of all amounts required to be paid to it pursuant to the Trust Agreement and the Sale and Servicing Agreement and the disposition of all property held as part of the Trust. The Seller or the Servicer of the
Receivables may at its option purchase the corpus of the Trust at a price specified in the Sale and Servicing Agreement, and such purchase of the Receivables and other property of the Trust will effect early retirement of the Certificate; however,
such right of purchase is exercisable, subject to certain restrictions, only as of the last day of any Collection Period as of which the Pool Balance is 10% or less of the Original Pool Balance. 

The Certificate may not be acquired by or for the account of (i) an “employee benefit plan” (as defined in
Section 3(3) of ERISA) that is subject to the fiduciary responsibility provisions of Title I of ERISA, (ii) a “plan” (within the meaning of Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code) that is subject to Section 4975 of the Code,
(iii) any entity whose underlying assets include assets of an employee benefit plan or a plan described in (i) or (ii) above by reason of such employee benefit plan’s or plan’s investment in the entity (collectively, a
