as are required or permitted by this Indenture, and may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such legends
or endorsements placed thereon as may, consistently herewith, be determined by the officers executing such Notes, as evidenced
by their execution of the Notes. Any portion of the text of any Note may be set forth on the reverse thereof, with an appropriate
reference thereto on the face of the Note.


 


Definitive Notes shall be typewritten, printed,
lithographed or engraved or produced by any combination of these methods (with or without steel engraved borders), all as determined
by the officers executing such Notes, as evidenced by their execution of such Notes.


 


Each Note shall be dated the date of its
authentication. The terms of the Notes are the terms of this Indenture.


 


Section
2.02.      Execution, Authentication and Delivery. The Notes shall
be executed on behalf of the Issuer by any of its Authorized Officers. The signature of any such Authorized Officer on the Notes
may be manual or facsimile. Notes bearing the manual or facsimile signature of individuals who were at any time Authorized Officers
of the Issuer shall bind the Issuer, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior
to the authentication and delivery of such Notes or did not hold such offices at the date of such Notes.


 


The Indenture Trustee shall, upon Issuer
Order, authenticate and deliver for original issue the following aggregate principal amount of Notes: (i) $433,000,000 of Class
A-1 Notes, (ii) $492,000,000 of Class A-2 Notes, (iii) $421,000,000 of Class A-3 Notes and (iv) $154,000,000 of Class A-4 Notes.

signatories, and such certificate upon any Note shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Note has been duly

Section
2.03.         Temporary Notes. Pending the preparation of Definitive
Notes pursuant to Section 2.11, the Issuer may execute, and upon receipt of an Issuer Order the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate

Definitive Notes in lieu of which they are issued and with such variations not inconsistent with the terms of this Indenture as
the officers executing such Notes may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Notes.


 


If temporary Notes are issued, the Issuer
shall cause Definitive Notes to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of Definitive Notes, the temporary
Notes shall be exchangeable for Definitive Notes upon surrender of the temporary Notes at the office or agency of the Issuer to
be maintained as provided in Section 3.02, without charge to the related Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or
more temporary Notes, the Issuer shall execute, and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor,
a like tenor and principal amount of Definitive Notes of authorized denominations. Until so exchanged, the temporary Notes shall
in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as Definitive Notes.


 


Section
2.04.         Note Register, Registration of Transfer and Exchange.
The Issuer shall cause to be kept a register (the “Note Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations
as it may prescribe, the Issuer shall provide for the registration of Notes and the registration of all transfers of Notes. The
Indenture Trustee initially shall be the “Note Registrar” for the purpose of registering Notes and transfers of Notes
as herein provided. Upon any resignation of any Note Registrar, the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor or, if it elects
not to make such an appointment, assume the duties of Note Registrar.


 


If a Person other than the Indenture Trustee
is appointed by the Issuer as Note Registrar, the Issuer will give the Indenture Trustee prompt written notice of the appointment
of such Note Registrar and of the location, and any change in the location, of the Note Register, and the Indenture Trustee shall
have the right to inspect the Note Register at all reasonable times and to obtain copies thereof, and the Indenture Trustee shall
have the right to rely upon a certificate executed on behalf of the Note Registrar by an Executive Officer thereof as to the names
and addresses of the Holders of the Notes and the principal amounts and number of such Notes.


 


Upon surrender for registration of transfer
of any Note at the office or agency of the Issuer to be maintained as provided in Section 3.02, provided that the requirements
of Section 8-401 of the UCC are met, the Issuer shall execute, and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and the Noteholder shall obtain
from the Indenture Trustee, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes of the same Class in
any authorized denominations, of a like aggregate principal amount.


 


At the option of the Holder, Notes may be
exchanged for other Notes of the same Class in any authorized denominations, of a like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender
of the Notes to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Notes are so surrendered for exchange, provided that the requirements
of Section 8-401 of the UCC are met (as determined by the Issuer), the Issuer shall execute, and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate
and the Noteholder shall obtain from the Indenture Trustee, the Notes which the Noteholder making the exchange is entitled to receive.


 



    	11



    	 



    

 


All Notes issued upon any registration of
transfer or exchange of Notes shall be the valid obligations of the Issuer, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same
benefits under this Indenture, as the Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.


 


Every Note presented or surrendered for
registration of transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory
to the Indenture Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, with
such signature guaranteed by an “eligible guarantor institution” meeting the requirements of the Note 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 Note Registrar in addition to, or in substitution
for, STAMP, all in accordance with the Exchange Act.


 


No service charge shall be made to a Holder
for any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, but the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient
to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of
Notes, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 2.03 or 9.06 not involving any transfer.


 


The preceding provisions of this Section
notwithstanding, the Issuer shall not be required to make and the Note Registrar need not register transfers or exchanges of Notes
selected for redemption or of any Note for a period of 15 days preceding the due date for any payment with respect to the Note.


 


Section
2.05.         Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes. If (i) any
mutilated Note is surrendered to the Indenture Trustee, or the Indenture Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction,
loss or theft of any Note, (ii) there is delivered to the Indenture Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by it
to hold the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee harmless and (iii) the requirements of Section 8-405 of the UCC are met, then, in
the absence of notice to the Issuer, the Note Registrar or the Indenture Trustee that such Note has been acquired by a Protected
Purchaser, the Issuer shall execute, and upon its written request the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange
for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a replacement Note of the same Class; provided, however,
that if any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, but not a mutilated Note, shall have become or within seven days shall be due
and payable, or shall have been called for redemption, instead of issuing a replacement Note, the Issuer may pay such destroyed,
lost or stolen Note when so due or payable or upon the Redemption Date without surrender thereof. If, after the delivery of such
replacement Note or payment of a destroyed, lost or stolen Note pursuant to the proviso to the preceding sentence, a Protected
Purchaser of the original Note in lieu of which such replacement Note was issued presents for payment such original Note, the Issuer
and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to recover such replacement Note (or such payment) from the Person to whom it was delivered
or any Person taking such replacement Note from such Person to whom such replacement Note was delivered or any assignee of such
Person, except a protected purchaser, and shall be entitled to recover upon the security or indemnity provided therefor to the
extent of any loss, damage, cost or expense incurred by the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee in connection therewith.


 



    	12



    	 



    

 


Upon the issuance of any replacement Note
under this Section, the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee may require the payment by the Holder of such Note of a sum sufficient
to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other reasonable expenses (including
the fees and expenses of the Indenture Trustee or the Note Registrar) connected therewith.


 


Every replacement Note issued pursuant to
this Section in replacement of any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall constitute an original additional contractual
obligation of the Issuer, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be at any time enforceable by anyone,
and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued
hereunder.


 


The provisions of this Section are exclusive

destroyed, lost or stolen Notes.

not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount have declared the Notes to be immediately due and payable in the manner provided

interest to the extent lawful) at the applicable Interest Rate in any lawful manner. The Issuer may pay such defaulted interest

Agency Participants; and


 


(v)         whenever
this Indenture requires or permits actions to be taken based upon instructions or directions of Holders of Notes evidencing a specified
percentage of the Outstanding Amount, the Clearing Agency shall be deemed to represent such percentage only to the extent that

notify all Note Owners of the related Class of Notes through the Clearing Agency of the occurrence of any such event and of the
availability of Definitive Notes of the related Class of Notes to Note Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Indenture
Trustee of the Note or Notes representing the Book-Entry Notes by the Clearing Agency, accompanied by registration instructions,
the Issuer shall execute and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate the Definitive Notes in accordance with the instructions
of the Clearing Agency. None of the Issuer, the Note Registrar or the Indenture Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery

and franchise tax purposes, the Notes will qualify as indebtedness secured by the Owner Trust Estate. The Issuer, by entering into
this Indenture, and each Noteholder, by its acceptance of a Note (and each Note Owner by its acceptance of an interest in the applicable
Book-Entry Note), agree to treat the Notes for all purposes including federal, state and local income, single business and franchise
tax purposes as indebtedness.


 


Section
2.14.         Employee Benefit Plans. The transfer of a Definitive Note

is not a Benefit Plan or any other plan subject to a law that is substantially similar to Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the
Code ("Similar Law") and is not acting on behalf of or investing the assets of a Benefit Plan or any other plan subject
to Similar Law or (ii) its acquisition, holding and disposition of the Definitive Note will not give rise to a nonexempt prohibited

Section
3.03.         Money for Payments to be Held in Trust. As provided in
Sections 5.04 and 8.02, all payments of amounts due and payable with respect to any Notes that are to be made from amounts withdrawn

preceding each Payment Date and Redemption Date, the Issuer shall deposit or cause to be deposited in the Collection Account (to
be transferred to the Note Distribution Account on the related Payment Date) an aggregate sum sufficient to pay the amounts then
becoming due under the Notes, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto, and (unless the Paying
Agent is the Indenture Trustee) shall promptly notify the Indenture Trustee in writing of its action or failure so to act.


 


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


 


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


 


(ii)         give
the Indenture Trustee notice of any default by the Issuer (or any other obligor upon the Notes) of which it has actual knowledge
in the making of any payment required to be made with respect to the Notes;

with all requirements of the Code with respect to the withholding from any payments made by it on any Notes of any applicable withholding
taxes imposed thereon and with respect to any applicable reporting requirements in connection therewith.


 


The Issuer may at any time, for the purpose
of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, by Issuer Order direct any Paying Agent
to pay to the Indenture Trustee all sums held in trust by such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Indenture Trustee upon
the same trusts as those upon which the sums were held by such Paying Agent; and upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Indenture
Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money.


 


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


 


Section
3.04.         Existence. The Issuer will keep in full effect its existence,
rights and franchises as a statutory trust under the laws of the State of Delaware (unless it becomes, or any successor Issuer
hereunder is or becomes, organized under the laws of any other State or of the United States, in which case the Issuer will keep
in full effect its existence, rights and franchises under the laws of such other jurisdiction) and will obtain and preserve its
qualification to do business in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity
and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes, the Collateral and each other instrument or agreement included in the Owner Trust
Estate, including all licenses required under the Pennsylvania Motor Vehicle Sales Finance Act and Maryland Code Financial Institutions,
Title 11, Subtitle 4, as applicable, in connection with this Agreement and the other Basic Documents and the transactions contemplated

Section
3.05.         Protection of Owner Trust Estate. The Issuer intends the
security interest Granted pursuant to this Indenture in favor of the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders to be prior
to all other liens in respect of the Owner Trust Estate, and the Issuer shall take all actions necessary to obtain and maintain,
for the benefit of the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders, a first lien on and a first priority, perfected security
interest in the Owner Trust Estate. The Issuer will from time to time execute and deliver all such supplements and amendments hereto
and all such financing statements, continuation statements, instruments of further assurance and other instruments, all as prepared
by the Administrator and delivered to the Issuer, and will take such other action necessary or advisable to:

the effect that, in the opinion of such counsel, either (i) all financing statements and continuation statements have been executed
and filed that are necessary to create and continue the Indenture Trustee’s first priority perfected security interest in
the collateral for the benefit of the Noteholders, and reciting the details of such filings or referring to prior Opinions of Counsel
in which such details are given, or (ii) no such action shall be necessary to perfect such security interest.

90 days after the beginning of each fiscal year of the Issuer beginning with the first fiscal year beginning more than three months
after the Cutoff Date, the Issuer shall furnish to the Indenture Trustee an Opinion of Counsel, dated as of a date during such

Section
3.07.         Performance of Obligations; Servicing of Receivables.


 


(a)          The
Issuer will not take any action and will use its best efforts not to permit any action to be taken by others that would release
any Person from any of such Person’s material covenants or obligations under any instrument or agreement included in the
Owner Trust Estate or that would result in the amendment, hypothecation, subordination, termination or discharge of, or impair
the validity or effectiveness of, any such instrument or agreement, except as expressly provided in this Indenture, the other Basic
Documents or such other instrument or agreement.


 


(b)          The
Issuer may contract with other Persons to assist it in performing its duties under this Indenture, and any performance of such
duties by a Person identified to the Indenture Trustee in an Officer’s Certificate of the Issuer shall be deemed to be action
taken by the Issuer. Initially, the Issuer has contracted with the Servicer and the Administrator to assist the Issuer in performing
its duties under this Indenture.


 


(c)          The
Issuer will and will cause the Administrator to, punctually perform and observe all of its obligations and agreements contained
in this Indenture, the other Basic Documents and in the instruments and agreements included in the Owner Trust Estate, including
but not limited to filing or causing to be filed all UCC financing statements and continuation statements required to be filed
by the terms of this Indenture and the other Basic Documents in accordance with and within the time periods provided for herein
and therein. Except as otherwise expressly provided therein, the Issuer shall not waive, amend, modify, supplement or terminate
any Basic Document or any provision thereof without the written consent of the Indenture Trustee or the Holders of at least a majority
of the Outstanding Amount or such greater percentage as may be specified in the particular provision.


 


(d)          If
the Issuer shall have knowledge of the occurrence of a Servicer Default, the Issuer shall promptly provide written notice to a
Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee and to the Administrator thereof, and shall specify in such notice the action, if
any, the Issuer is taking with respect of such default. If a Servicer Default shall arise from the failure of the Servicer to perform
any of its duties or obligations under the Sale and Servicing Agreement with respect to the Receivables, the Issuer shall take
all reasonable steps available to it to remedy such failure. The Administrator shall, in accordance with Section 1.02(c) of the
Administration Agreement, make such notice available to each Rating Agency.


 


(e)          As
promptly as possible after the giving of notice of termination to the Servicer of the Servicer’s rights and powers pursuant
to Section 7.01 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Indenture Trustee shall appoint a Successor Servicer, and such Successor
Servicer shall accept its appointment by a written assumption in a form acceptable to the Indenture Trustee. In the event that
a Successor Servicer has not been appointed and accepted its appointment at the time when the Servicer ceases to act as Servicer,
the Indenture Trustee without further action shall automatically be appointed the Successor Servicer. The Indenture Trustee may
resign as the Servicer by giving written notice of such resignation to the Issuer and in such event will be released from such
duties and obligations, such release not to be effective until the date a new servicer enters into a servicing agreement as provided
below. Upon delivery of any such notice to the Issuer, the Issuer shall obtain a new servicer as the Successor Servicer under the
Sale and Servicing Agreement. Any Successor Servicer other than the Indenture Trustee shall (i) be an established financial institution
having a net worth of not less than $50,000,000 and whose regular business includes the servicing of motor vehicle receivables
and (ii) enter into a servicing agreement with the Issuer and the Seller having substantially the same provisions as the provisions
of the Sale and Servicing Agreement applicable to the Servicer. If within 30 days after the delivery of the notice referred to
above, the Issuer shall not have obtained such a new servicer, the Indenture Trustee may appoint, or may petition a court of competent
jurisdiction to appoint, a Successor Servicer. In connection with any such appointment, the Issuer may make such arrangements for
the compensation of such successor as it and such successor shall agree, subject to the limitations set forth below and in the
Sale and Servicing Agreement, and in accordance with Section 7.02 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Issuer and the Seller
shall enter into an agreement with such successor for the servicing of the Receivables (such agreement to be in form and substance
satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee). If the Indenture Trustee shall succeed to the Servicer’s duties as servicer of the
Receivables as provided herein, it shall do so in its individual capacity and not in its capacity as Indenture Trustee and, accordingly,
the provisions of Article Six shall be inapplicable (except as set forth in the proviso contained in Section 6.01(a)) to the Indenture
Trustee in its duties as the successor to the Servicer and the servicing of the Receivables. In case the Indenture Trustee shall
become successor to the Servicer under the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to appoint as
Servicer any one of its Affiliates or agents, provided that it shall be fully liable for the actions and omissions of such Affiliate
or agent in such capacity as Successor Servicer.

(f)          Upon
any termination of the Servicer’s rights and powers pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Issuer shall promptly
notify a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee. As soon as a Successor Servicer is appointed, the Issuer shall notify the
Indenture Trustee of such appointment, specifying in such notice the name and address of such Successor Servicer.


 


Section
3.08.         Negative Covenants. So long as any Notes are Outstanding,
the Issuer shall not:


 


(i)          except
as expressly permitted by Section 3.10(b) and the Basic Documents, sell, transfer, exchange or otherwise dispose of any of the
properties or assets of the Issuer, including those included in the Owner Trust Estate, unless directed to do so by the Indenture
Trustee;


 


(ii)         claim
any credit on, or make any deduction from the principal or interest payable in respect of, the Notes (other than amounts properly
withheld from such payments under the Code or applicable state law) or assert any claim against any present or former Noteholder
by reason of the payment of the taxes levied or assessed upon any part of the Owner Trust Estate;


 


(iii)        (A)
permit the validity or effectiveness of this Indenture to be impaired, or permit the lien created by this Indenture to be amended,
hypothecated, subordinated, terminated or discharged, or permit any Person to be released from any covenants or obligations with
respect to the Notes under this Indenture except as may be expressly permitted hereby, (B) permit any lien, charge, excise, claim,
security interest, mortgage or other encumbrance (other than the lien of this Indenture) to be created on or extend to or otherwise
arise upon or burden the Owner Trust Estate or any part thereof or any interest therein or the proceeds thereof (other than tax
liens, mechanics’ liens and other liens that arise by operation of law, in each case on any of the Financed Vehicles and
arising solely as a result of an action or omission of the related Obligor) or (C) permit the lien created by this Indenture not
to constitute a valid first priority (other than with respect to any such tax, mechanics’ or other lien) security interest
in the Owner Trust Estate; or

Section
5.02.         Acceleration of Maturity, Rescission and Annulment.


 


(a)          If
an Event of Default should occur and be continuing, then and in every such case the Indenture Trustee or the Holders of Notes representing
not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount may declare all the Notes to be immediately due and payable, by a notice in
writing to the Issuer (and to the Indenture Trustee if given by Noteholders), and upon any such declaration the unpaid principal
amount of such Notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon through the date of acceleration, shall become immediately
due and payable.


 


(b)          At
any time after such declaration of acceleration of maturity has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money
due has been obtained by the Indenture Trustee as hereinafter in this Article provided, the Holders of Notes representing a majority
of the Outstanding Amount, by written notice to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and

payments of principal of and interest on all Notes and all other amounts that would then be due hereunder or upon such Notes if
the Event of Default giving rise to such acceleration had not occurred;

Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of the principal of the Notes that has become due solely by such acceleration, have

any right consequent thereto.


 


Section
5.03.         Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Indenture
Trustee.


 



    	28



    	 



    

 


(a)          The
Issuer covenants that if the Notes are accelerated following the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Issuer will, upon demand
of the Indenture Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes, the whole amount then due and payable on such
Notes for principal and interest, with interest on the overdue principal and, to the extent payment at such rate of interest shall
be legally enforceable, on overdue installments of interest at the related Interest Rate and, in addition thereto, such further
amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements
and advances of the Indenture Trustee and its agents and counsel.


 


(b)          In
case the Issuer shall fail forthwith to pay such amounts upon such demand, the Indenture Trustee, in its own name and as trustee
of an express trust, may institute a Proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute such Proceeding
to judgment or final decree and may enforce the same against the Issuer or other obligor upon such Notes and collect in the manner
provided by law out of the property of the Issuer or other obligor upon such Notes, wherever situated, the monies adjudged or decreed
to be payable.


 


(c)          If
an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee may, as more particularly provided in Section 5.04, in its
discretion, proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Noteholders, by such appropriate Proceedings as the
Indenture Trustee shall deem most effective to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any
covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy
or legal or equitable right vested in the Indenture Trustee by this Indenture or by law.


 


(d)          In
case there shall be pending, relative to the Issuer or any other obligor upon the Notes or any Person having or claiming an ownership
interest in the Owner Trust Estate, Proceedings under Title 11 of the United States Code or any other applicable federal or state
bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, or in case a receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization, or liquidator,
sequestrator or similar official shall have been appointed for or taken possession of the Issuer or its property or such other
obligor or Person, or in case of any other comparable judicial Proceedings relative to the Issuer or other obligor upon the Notes,
or to the creditors or property of the Issuer or such other obligor, the Indenture Trustee, irrespective of whether the principal
of any Notes shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the
Indenture Trustee shall have made any demand pursuant to the provisions of this Section, shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention
in such Proceedings or otherwise:


 


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


 



    	29



    	 



    

 


(ii)         unless
prohibited by applicable law and regulations, to vote on behalf of the Holders of Notes in any election of a trustee, a standby
trustee or Person performing similar functions in any such Proceedings;


 


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


 


(iv)        to
file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Indenture
Trustee or the Holders of Notes allowed in any Proceedings relative to the Issuer, its creditors and its property;


 


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


 


(e)          Nothing
herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Indenture Trustee to authorize or consent to or vote for or accept or adopt on
behalf of any Noteholder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of
any Holder thereof or to authorize the Indenture Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Noteholder in any such proceeding
except, as aforesaid, to vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar Person.


 


(f)          All
rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture, or under any of the Notes, may be enforced by the Indenture Trustee
without the possession of any of the Notes or the production thereof in any trial or other Proceedings relative thereto, and any
such action or Proceedings instituted by the Indenture Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust,
and any recovery of judgment, subject to the payment of the expenses, disbursements and compensation of the Indenture Trustee,
each predecessor Indenture Trustee and their respective agents and attorneys, shall be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of
the Notes.


 


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


 


Section
5.04.         Remedies, Priorities.


 


(a)          If
an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Indenture Trustee may do one or more of the following (subject to
Sections 5.02 and 5.05):


 



    	30



    	 



    

 


(i)          institute
Proceedings in its own name and/or as trustee of an express trust for the collection of all amounts then payable on the Notes or
under this Indenture with respect thereto, whether by declaration or otherwise, enforce any judgment obtained and collect from
the Issuer and any other obligor upon such Notes monies adjudged due;


 


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


 


(iii)        exercise
any remedies of a secured party under the UCC and any other remedy available to the Indenture Trustee and take any other appropriate
action to protect and enforce the rights and remedies of the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders under this Indenture;
and


 


(iv)        sell
the Owner Trust Estate or any portion thereof or rights or interest therein, at one or more public or private sales called and
conducted in any manner permitted by law;


 


provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee may not sell or
otherwise liquidate the Owner Trust Estate following an Event of Default, unless (A) the Holders of 100% of the Outstanding Amount
consent thereto, (B) the proceeds of such sale or liquidation distributable to the Noteholders and Certificateholders are sufficient
to discharge in full all amounts then due and unpaid upon such Notes and Certificates for principal and interest or (C) the Indenture
Trustee determines that the Owner Trust Estate will not continue to provide sufficient funds for the payment of principal of and
interest on the Notes and Certificates as would have become due if the Notes and Certificates had not been declared due and payable,
and the Indenture Trustee obtains the consent of Holders of 100% of the Outstanding Amount. In determining such sufficiency or
insufficiency with respect to clause (B) and (C) above, the Indenture Trustee may, but need not, obtain, at the expense of the
Issuer, and rely upon an opinion of an Independent investment banking or accounting firm of national reputation as to the feasibility
of such proposed action and as to the sufficiency of the Owner Trust Estate for such purpose.


 


(b)          If
the Indenture Trustee collects any money or property pursuant to this Article, it shall pay out the money or property in the following
order and priority:


 


(i)          on
a pro rata basis, to the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee, any amounts due under the Trust Agreement or Section 6.07 hereof;


 


(ii)         to
the Servicer, for amounts due and unpaid in respect of Nonrecoverable Advances under the Sale and Servicing Agreement;


 


(iii)        to
the Servicer, for amounts due and unpaid in respect of the Total Servicing Fee under the Sale and Servicing Agreement;


 


(iv)        [Reserved];


 


(v)         to
the Holders of the Notes of each Class, the Note Interest Distributable Amount ratably in proportion to the Note Interest Distributable
Amount for each Class at their respective Interest Rates;


 



    	31



    	 



    

 


(vi)        to
the Holders of Class A-1 Notes, the outstanding principal amount of the Class A-1 Notes, until the Class A-1 Notes are paid in
full;


 


(vii)       to
the Holders of the Class A-2, Class A-3 and Class A-4 Notes, pro rata in proportion to the Outstanding principal amount of each
Class, until the Class A-2, Class A-3 and Class A-4 Notes are paid in full;


 


(viii)      to
the Certificate Distribution Account for distribution to the Holders of the Trust Certificates, the Certificate Interest Distributable
Amount;


 


(ix)         to
the Certificate Distribution Account for distribution to the Holders of the Trust Certificates, the outstanding principal amount
of the Trust Certificates; and


 


(x)          to
the Seller, any remaining amount.


 


The Indenture Trustee may fix a record date and payment date
for any payment to Noteholders pursuant to this Section. At least 15 days before such record date, the Issuer shall mail to each
Noteholder and the Indenture Trustee a notice that states the record date, the payment date and the amount to be paid.


 


Section
5.05.         Optional Preservation of the Receivables. If the Notes
have been declared to be due and payable under Section 5.02 following an Event of Default and such declaration and its consequences
have not been rescinded and annulled, the Indenture Trustee may, but need not, elect to maintain possession of the Owner Trust
Estate. It is the desire of the parties hereto, the Noteholders that there be at all times sufficient funds for the payment of
any principal of and interest on the Notes, and the Indenture Trustee shall take such desire into account when determining whether
or not to maintain possession of the Owner Trust Estate. In determining whether to maintain possession of the Owner Trust Estate,
the Indenture Trustee may, but need not, obtain, at the expense of the Issuer, and rely upon an opinion of an Independent investment
banking or accounting firm of national reputation as to the feasibility of such proposed action and as to the sufficiency of the
Owner Trust Estate for such purpose.


 


Section
5.06.         Limitation of Suits. No Holder of any Note shall have
any right to institute any Proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver
or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless:


 


(i)          such
Holder has previously given written notice to the Indenture Trustee of a continuing Event of Default;


 


(ii)         the
Holders of not less than 25% of the Outstanding Amount have made written request to the Indenture Trustee to institute such Proceeding
in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Indenture Trustee hereunder;


 


(iii)        such
Holder or Holders have offered to the Indenture Trustee reasonable indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be
incurred in complying with such request;


 



    	32



    	 



    

 


(iv)        the
Indenture Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute such Proceedings;
and


 


(v)         no
direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Indenture Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders
of a majority of the Outstanding Amount.


 


It is understood and intended that no one or more Holders of
Notes shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb
or prejudice the rights of any other Holders of Notes or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other Holders
or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided.


 


In the event the Indenture Trustee shall
receive conflicting or inconsistent requests and indemnity from two or more groups of Holders of Notes, each representing less
than a majority of the Outstanding Amount, the Indenture Trustee in its sole discretion may determine what action, if any, shall
be taken, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture. The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any such determination
made in good faith.


 


Section
5.07.         Unconditional Rights of Noteholders to Receive Principal and
Interest. Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Indenture, the Holder of any Note shall have the right, which is absolute
and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and interest, if any, on such Note on or after the respective due dates
thereof expressed in such Note or in this Indenture (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date) and to institute
suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such right shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.


 


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


 


Section
5.09.         Rights and Remedies Cumulative. No right or remedy herein
conferred upon or reserved to the Indenture Trustee or to the Noteholders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy,
and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy
given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy
hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.


 


Section
5.10.         Delay or Omission Not a Waiver. No delay or omission of
the Indenture Trustee or any Holder of any Note to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Default or Event of Default shall
impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Default or Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every
right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Indenture Trustee or to the Noteholders may be exercised from time to time,
and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Indenture Trustee or by the Noteholders, as the case may be.


 



    	33



    	 



    

 


Section
5.11.         Control by Noteholders. The Holders of Notes representing
a majority of the Outstanding Amount shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any Proceeding for
any remedy available to the Indenture Trustee with respect to the Notes or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Indenture
Trustee; provided that:


 


(i)          such
direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture;


 


(ii)         subject
to the terms of Section 5.04, any direction to the Indenture Trustee to sell or liquidate the Owner Trust Estate shall be by the
Holders of Notes representing not less than 100% of the Outstanding Amount;


 


(iii)        if
the conditions set forth in Section 5.05 have been satisfied and the Indenture Trustee elects to retain the Owner Trust Estate
pursuant to such Section, then any direction to the Indenture Trustee by the Holders of Notes representing less than 100% of the
Outstanding Amount to sell or liquidate the Owner Trust Estate shall be of no force and effect; and


 


(iv)        the
Indenture Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Indenture Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction.


 


Notwithstanding the rights of Noteholders set forth in this
Section, subject to Section 6.01, the Indenture Trustee need not take any action for which it will not be adequately indemnified
or might materially adversely affect the rights of any Noteholders not consenting to such action.


 


Section
5.12.         Waiver of Past Defaults. Prior to the declaration of the
acceleration of the maturity of the Notes as provided in Section 5.02, the Holders of Notes of not less than a majority of the
Outstanding Amount may waive any past Default or Event of Default and its consequences except a Default (i) in payment of principal
of or interest on any of the Notes or (ii) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which cannot be modified or amended without
the consent of the Holder of each Note. In the case of any such waiver, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Holders of the
Notes shall respectively be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent
or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereto. Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to
exist and be deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to
have been cured and not to have occurred, for every purpose of this Indenture.


 


Section
5.13.         Undertaking for Costs. All parties to this Indenture agree,
and each Holder of any Note by such Holder’s acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its
discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Indenture
Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Indenture Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of
an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable
attorneys’ fees and reasonable expenses, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good
faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section shall not apply to (i) any suit
instituted by the Indenture Trustee, (ii) any suit instituted by any Noteholder, or group of Noteholders, in each case holding
in the aggregate more than 10% of the Outstanding Amount or (iii) any suit instituted by any Noteholder for the enforcement of
the payment of principal of or interest on any Note on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Note and in this Indenture
(or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date).

Section
5.14.         Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. The Issuer covenants
(to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead or in any manner whatsoever claim
or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may
affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Issuer (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly
waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power
herein granted to the Indenture Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had
been enacted.


 


Section
5.15.         Action on Notes. The Indenture Trustee’s right to
seek and recover judgment on the Notes or under this Indenture shall not be affected by the seeking, obtaining or application of
any other relief under or with respect to this Indenture. Neither the lien of this Indenture nor any rights or remedies of the
Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders shall be impaired by the recovery of any judgment by the Indenture Trustee against the Issuer
or by the levy of any execution under such judgment upon any portion of the Owner Trust Estate or upon any of the assets of the
Issuer. Any money or property collected by the Indenture Trustee shall be applied in accordance with Section 5.04(b).


 


Section
5.16.         Performance and Enforcement of Certain Obligations.


 


(a)          Promptly
following a request from the Indenture Trustee to do so and at the Administrator’s expense, the Issuer shall take all such

(a)          If
an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing of which a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee has actual knowledge,
the Indenture Trustee shall exercise the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture and use the same degree of care and skill
in their exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs;
provided, however, that if the Indenture Trustee shall assume the duties of the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.07(e), the Indenture
Trustee in performing such duties shall use the degree of care and skill customarily exercised by a prudent institutional servicer
with respect to installment sale contracts that it services for itself or others.


 


(b)          Except
during the continuance of an Event of Default of which a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee has actual knowledge:


 


(i)          the
Indenture Trustee shall undertake to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture and
no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Indenture Trustee; and


 


(ii)         in
the absence of bad faith on its part, the Indenture Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness
of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Indenture Trustee and conforming to the requirements
of this Indenture; however, the Indenture Trustee shall examine the certificates and opinions specifically required to be furnished
pursuant to any provision of this Agreement to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture.


 


(c)          The
Indenture Trustee may not be relieved from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own
willful misconduct, except that:


 


(i)          this
paragraph does not limit the effect of Section 6.01(b);


 


(ii)         the
Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer unless it is proved
that the Indenture Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and

Indenture Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction
received by it pursuant to Section 5.11.

held in trust by the Indenture Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law or the terms
of this Indenture or the Sale and Servicing Agreement.


 


(g)          No
provision of this Indenture shall require the Indenture Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability
in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable
grounds to believe that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured
to it.

provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Indenture Trustee
shall be subject to the provisions of this Section and to the provisions of the TIA.

Indenture Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any Event of Default unless either (i) a Responsible Officer shall have
actual knowledge of such Event of Default or (ii) written notice of such Event of Default shall have been received by a Responsible
Officer of the Indenture Trustee in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.


 


(j)          The

to herein or any financing statement or continuation statement evidencing a security interest, or to see to the maintenance of
any such recording or filing or depositing or to any rerecording, refiling or redepositing of any thereof, (B) to see to any insurance,

Section
6.02.         Rights of Indenture Trustee.


 


(a)          Except
as otherwise provided in the second succeeding sentence, the Indenture Trustee may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected
in acting or refraining from acting upon, any resolution, Officer’s Certificate, Opinion of Counsel, certificate of auditors,
Independent Certificate or any other document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper person.
The Indenture Trustee need not investigate any fact, calculation or matter stated in the document. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Indenture Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other
instruments furnished to the Indenture Trustee that shall be specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any provision of
this Indenture, shall examine them to determine whether they comply as to form to the requirements of this Indenture.


 


(b)          Before
the Indenture Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officer’s Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel. The
Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on an Officer’s
Certificate or Opinion of Counsel.


 



    	37



    	 



    

 


(c)          The
Indenture Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through
agents or attorneys or a custodian or nominee, and the Indenture Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence
on the part of, or for the supervision of, any such agent, attorney, custodian or nominee appointed with due care by it hereunder.


 


(d)          The
Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith which it believes to be authorized
or within its rights or powers; provided, that the Indenture Trustee’s conduct does not constitute willful misconduct, negligence
or bad faith.


 


(e)          The
Indenture Trustee may consult with counsel, and the advice or opinion of counsel with respect to legal matters relating to this
Indenture and the Notes shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect to any action taken,
omitted or suffered by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel.


 


(f)          The
Indenture Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the trusts or powers vested in it by this Indenture or to institute,
conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto at the request, order or direction of any of the Noteholders,
pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, unless such Noteholders shall have offered to the Indenture Trustee security or indemnity
reasonably satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby;
provided, however, nothing contained herein shall, however, relieve the Indenture Trustee of the obligation, upon the occurrence
of an Event of Default of which a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee shall have actual knowledge (which has not been
cured), to exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and to use the same degree of care and skill
in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own
affairs.


 


(g)          The
right of the Indenture Trustee to perform any discretionary act enumerated in this Indenture shall not be construed as a duty,
and the Indenture Trustee shall not be answerable in the performance of such act for other than its negligence or willful misconduct.


 


(h)          The
Indenture Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or surety in respect of the execution of the Owner Trust Estate created
hereby or the powers granted hereunder.


 


(i)          All
rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Note may be prosecuted and enforced by the Indenture Trustee without the
possession of any of the Notes or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, any such proceeding instituted by
the Indenture Trustee shall be brought in its own name or in its capacity as Indenture Trustee. Any recovery of judgment shall,
after provision for the payments to the Indenture Trustee provided for in Section 6.07, be for the ratable benefit of the Noteholders
in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.


 



    	38



    	 



    

 


(j)          In
no event shall the Indenture Trustee be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder
arising out of or caused by, directly or indirectly, forces beyond its control, including, without limitation, strikes, work stoppages,
acts of war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of God, and interruptions, loss
or malfunctions of utilities; it being understood that the Indenture Trustee shall use reasonable efforts which are consistent
with accepted practices in the banking industry to resume performances as soon as practicable under the circumstances.


 


Section
6.03.         Individual Rights of Indenture Trustee. The Indenture
Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuer
or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Indenture Trustee. Any Paying Agent, Note Registrar, co-registrar
or co-paying agent may do the same with like rights. However, the Indenture Trustee must comply with Sections 6.11 and 6.12.


 


Section
6.04.         Indenture Trustee’s Disclaimer. The Indenture Trustee
shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture, the Owner Trust Estate
or the Notes, it shall not be accountable for the Issuer’s use of the proceeds from the Notes, and it shall not be responsible
for any statement of the Issuer in this Indenture or in any document issued in connection with the sale of the Notes or in the
Notes other than the Indenture Trustee’s certificate of authentication. The Indenture Trustee shall have no responsibility
for filing any financing or continuation statement in any public office at any time or to otherwise perfect or maintain the perfection
of any security interest or lien granted to it hereunder or to record this Indenture.


 


Section
6.05.         Notice of Defaults. If a Default occurs and is continuing
and if it is known to a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee shall mail to each Noteholder notice
of the Default within 90 days after it occurs. Except in the case of a Default in payment of principal of or interest on any Note
(including payments pursuant to the mandatory redemption provisions of such Note), the Indenture Trustee may withhold the notice
if and so long as a committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests
of Noteholders.


 


Section
6.06.         Reports by Indenture Trustee to Holders. The Indenture
Trustee shall make available to each Noteholder such information as may be required to enable each Noteholder to prepare its respective
federal and state income tax returns. The Indenture Trustee will make documents or information which it is required to provide
available to the Noteholders, including, without limitation, the Servicer’s Certificate (as such term is defined in the
Sale and Servicing Agreement), and the Indenture Trustee will post at https://tss.sfs.db.com/investpublic/ information regarding
principal and interest due and paid on the Notes. The Indenture Trustee shall have the right to change the way such statements
are distributed in order to make such distribution more convenient and/or more accessible to the above parties and the Indenture
Trustee shall provide timely and adequate notification to all above parties regarding any such changes; provided, however, that
the Indenture Trustee will also mail copies of any such statements to any Noteholders who so request in writing.

Section
6.07.         Compensation and Indemnity. The Issuer shall, or shall
cause the Administrator to, (i) pay to the Indenture Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation for its services, which
compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust, (ii) reimburse the Indenture Trustee
for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it, including without limitation, costs of collection, in addition
to the compensation for its services, which expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses, disbursements and
advances of the Indenture Trustee’s agents, counsel, accountants and experts and (iii) indemnify the Indenture Trustee and
its officers, directors, employees and agents against any and all loss, liability or expense (including reasonable attorneys’
fees and expenses) incurred by it in connection with the administration of this trust and the performance of its duties hereunder
not resulting from its own willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith. The Indenture Trustee shall notify the Issuer and the Administrator
promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Indenture Trustee to so notify the Issuer and the Administrator
shall not relieve the Issuer or the Administrator of its obligations hereunder. The indemnities contained in this Section 6.07
shall survive the resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee or the termination of this Indenture. Absent an Event of Default,
in the event of any claim, action or proceeding for which indemnity will be sought pursuant to this Section 6.07, the Indenture
Trustee’s choice of legal counsel shall be subject to the approval of the Depositor (or if the Depositor is no longer an
owner, the designee of the Depositor), which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, delayed or denied. Neither
the Issuer nor the Administrator need reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the
Indenture Trustee (1) through the Indenture Trustee’s own willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith or (2) in the case
of the inaccuracy of any representation or warranty contained in Section 6.13 expressly made by the Indenture Trustee.


 


The Issuer’s payment obligations to
the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section shall survive the discharge of this Indenture and the resignation or discharge of
the Indenture Trustee and shall extend to any co-trustee or separate trustee appointed pursuant to Section 6.10 hereunder. When
the Indenture Trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence of a Default specified in Section 5.01 (iv) or (v) with respect to the
Issuer, the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under Title 11 of the United States Code or any other
applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.


 


Anything in this Indenture to the contrary
notwithstanding, in no event shall the Indenture Trustee be liable for special, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any
kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits, other than interest due but not paid on the Notes), even if the Indenture
Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.


 


Section
6.08.         Replacement of Indenture Trustee. No resignation or removal
of the Indenture Trustee and no appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment
by the successor Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section. The Indenture Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the Issuer.
Noteholders representing a majority of the Outstanding Amount may remove the Indenture Trustee at any time and appoint a successor
Indenture Trustee by so notifying the Indenture Trustee in writing. The Issuer shall remove the Indenture Trustee if:


 


(i)          the
Indenture Trustee fails to comply with Section 6.11;


 



    	40



    	 



    

 


(ii)         a
court having jurisdiction in the premises in respect of the Indenture Trustee in an involuntary case or proceeding under federal
or state banking or bankruptcy laws, as now or hereafter constituted, or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency
or other similar law, shall have entered a decree or order granting relief or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian,
trustee, conservator, sequestrator (or similar official) for the Indenture Trustee or for any substantial part of the Indenture
Trustee’s property, or ordering the winding-up or liquidation of the Indenture Trustee’s affairs, provided any such
decree or order shall have continued unstayed and in effect for a period of 30 consecutive days;


 


(iii)        the
Indenture Trustee commences a voluntary case under any federal or state banking or bankruptcy laws, as now or hereafter constituted,
or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, or consents to the appointment of or taking
possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, conservator, sequestrator or other similar official for the
Indenture Trustee or for any substantial part of the Indenture Trustee’s property, or makes any assignment for the benefit
of creditors or fails generally to pay its debts as such debts become due or takes any corporate action in furtherance of any of
the foregoing; or


 


(iv)        the
Indenture Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting.


 


If the Indenture Trustee resigns or is removed
or if a vacancy exists in the office of the Indenture Trustee for any reason (the Indenture Trustee in such event being referred
to herein as the retiring Indenture Trustee), the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor Indenture Trustee.


 


A successor Indenture Trustee shall deliver
a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Indenture Trustee and to the Issuer. Thereupon the resignation or removal
of the retiring Indenture Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Indenture Trustee shall have all the rights, powers
and duties of the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Indenture Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession
to the Noteholders. The retiring Indenture Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Indenture Trustee to the
successor Indenture Trustee.


 


If a successor Indenture Trustee does not
take office within 60 days after the retiring Indenture Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Indenture Trustee, the Issuer
or the Holders of a majority in Outstanding Amount may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor
Indenture Trustee.


 


If the Indenture Trustee fails to comply
with Section 6.11, any Noteholder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Indenture Trustee and
the appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee.


 


Any resignation or removal of the Indenture
Trustee and appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee pursuant to the provisions of this Section shall not become effective
until acceptance of appointment by the successor Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section and payment of all fees and expenses
owed to the outgoing Indenture Trustee. Notwithstanding the replacement of the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section, the
Issuer’s and the Administrator’s obligations under Section 6.07 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Indenture
Trustee.


 



    	41



    	 



    

 


Section
6.09.         Successor Indenture Trustee by Merger. If the Indenture
Trustee consolidates or merges with, converts or transfers all or substantially all its corporate trust business or assets to,
another corporation or banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation shall, without any further act,
be the successor Indenture Trustee; provided, that such corporation or banking association shall be otherwise qualified and eligible
under Section 6.11. The Indenture Trustee shall provide the Administrator prior written notice of any such transaction, and in
accordance with Section 1.02(c) of the Administration Agreement, the Administrator will make such notice available to each Rating
Agency.


 


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


 


Section
6.10.         Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.


 


(a)          Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Indenture, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirement of any jurisdiction in which
any part of the Owner Trust Estate may at the time be located, the Indenture Trustee and the Administrator, acting jointly, shall
have the power and may execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons to act as a co-trustee or co-trustees,
or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Trust, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity
and for the benefit of the Noteholders, such title to the Owner Trust Estate or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions
of this Section, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Indenture Trustee may consider necessary or desirable.
If the Administrator shall not have joined in such appointment within 15 days after its receipt of a request to do so, the Indenture
Trustee alone shall have the power to make such appointment. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet
the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 6.11 and no notice to Noteholders of the appointment of any co-trustee
or separate trustee shall be required under Section 6.08.


 


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


 


(i)          all
rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Indenture Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised
or performed by the Indenture 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 Indenture Trustee joining in such act), except to the extent that
under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed the Indenture Trustee shall be incompetent
or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of
title to the Owner Trust Estate or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed singly by such
separate trustee or co-trustee, but solely at the direction of the Indenture Trustee;


 



    	42



    	 



    


 


(ii)         no
trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder; and


 


(iii)        the
Indenture Trustee and the Administrator may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee.


 


(c)          Any
notice, request or other writing given to the Indenture 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 Indenture Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Indenture, specifically
including every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to,
the Indenture Trustee. Every such instrument shall be filed with the Indenture Trustee and a copy thereof given to the Administrator.


 


(d)          Any
separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time constitute the Indenture Trustee, its agent or attorney-in-fact with full power
and authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this Indenture on its behalf and
in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates,
properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the Indenture Trustee, to the extent permitted by law,
without the appointment of a new or successor trustee.


 


Section
6.11.         Eligibility, Disqualification. The Indenture Trustee shall
at all times satisfy the requirements of TIA § 310(a). The Indenture Trustee shall have a combined capital and surplus of
at least $50,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition, and the time deposits of the Indenture
Trustee shall be rated at least BBB- by Fitch and BBB- by S&P. The Indenture Trustee shall comply with TIA § 310(b); provided,
however, that there shall be excluded from the operation of TIA § 310(b)(1) any indenture or indentures under which other
securities of the Issuer are outstanding if the requirements for such exclusion set forth in TIA § 310(b)(1) are met.


 


In the event that, (A) the Indenture Trustee
(i) or any of its directors or executive officers is an underwriter, or (ii) directly or indirectly, controls or is controlled
by, or is in common control with, an underwriter; and (B) an Event of Default occurs, the Indenture Trustee shall comply with TIA
§ 310(b). For this purpose only and pursuant to TIA § 310(b), an “underwriter” means any person who, within
one year prior to the occurrence of the Event of Default, was an underwriter of any of the notes outstanding at the time of such
Event of Default.


 


Section
6.12.         Preferential Collection of Claims Against Issuer. The
Indenture Trustee shall comply with TIA § 311 (a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA § 311(b). An Indenture
Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA § 31l(a) to the extent indicated.


 



    	43



    	 



    

 


Section
6.13.         Representations and Warranties of Indenture Trustee. The
Indenture Trustee hereby makes the following representations and warranties on which the Issuer and Noteholders shall rely:


 


(i)          it
is a banking corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of New York;


 


(ii)         it
has full power, authority and legal right to execute, deliver, and perform this Indenture and shall have taken all necessary action
to authorize the execution, delivery and performance by it of this Indenture;


 


(iii)        assuming
the necessary authorization, execution and delivery thereof by the other parties thereto, the duties and obligations of the Indenture
Trustee under the Indenture constitute the valid, legal and binding obligations of the Indenture Trustee enforceable in accordance
with its terms except as enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws or equitable principles
limiting creditors’ rights generally, and provided that no representation is expressed as to the availability of equitable
remedies;


 


(iv)        that
to the best knowledge of the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee is not in breach of or default under any law or administrative
rule or regulation of the United States of America or of the State of New York, or any department, division, agency or instrumentality
thereof, or any applicable court or administrative decree or order, and which would materially impair the ability of the Indenture
Trustee to perform its obligations under the Indenture; and


 


(v)         that
to the best knowledge of the Indenture Trustee, no authorization, consent or other order of any state or federal government authority
or agency having jurisdiction over the trust powers of the Indenture Trustee are required to be obtained by the Indenture Trustee
for the valid authorization, execution and delivery by the Indenture Trustee of the Indenture or the authentication of the Notes.

of the provisions of this Indenture; provided, however, that such Opinion of Counsel shall not be required to express an opinion
as to the fair value of the Owner Trust Estate. Counsel rendering any such opinion may rely, without independent investigation,
on the accuracy and validity of any certificate or other instrument delivered to the Indenture Trustee in connection with any such
action.

Certificate as to the same matters, if the fair value to the Issuer of the securities to be so deposited and of all other such
securities made the basis of any such withdrawal or release since the commencement of the then-current fiscal year of the Issuer,
as set forth in the certificates delivered pursuant to clause (i) above and this clause (ii), is 10% or more of the Outstanding
Amount, but such a certificate need not be furnished with respect to any securities so deposited, if the fair value thereof to
the Issuer as set forth in the related Officer’s Certificate is less than $25,000 or less than one percent of the Outstanding
Amount of the Notes.

(iii)        Other
than with respect to any release described in clause (A) or (B) of Section 11.01(b)(v), whenever any property or securities are
to be released from the lien of this Indenture, the Issuer shall also furnish to the Indenture Trustee an Officer’s Certificate
certifying or stating the opinion of each person signing such certificate as to the fair value (within 90 days of such release)
of the property or securities proposed to be released and stating that in the opinion of such person the proposed release will
not impair the security under this Indenture in contravention of the provisions hereof.


 


(iv)        Whenever
the Issuer is required to furnish to the Indenture Trustee an Officer’s Certificate certifying or stating the opinion of
any signer thereof as to the matters described in clause (iii) above, the Issuer shall also furnish to the Indenture Trustee an
Independent Certificate as to the same matters if the fair value of the property or securities and of all other property (other
than property described in clauses (A) or (B) of Section 11.01 (b)(v)) released from the lien of this Indenture since the commencement
of the then-current calendar year, as set forth in the certificates required by clause (iii) above and this clause (iv), equals
10% or more of the Outstanding Amount, but such certificate need not be furnished in the case of any release of property or securities
if the fair value thereof as set forth in the related Officer’s Certificate is less than $25,000 or less than one percent
of the then Outstanding Amount.


 


(v)         Notwithstanding
Section 2.12 or any other provision of this Section, the Issuer may, without compliance with the requirements of the other
provisions of this Section, (A) collect, liquidate, sell or otherwise dispose of Receivables and Financed Vehicles as and to
the extent permitted or required by the Basic Documents and (B) make cash payments out of the Accounts as and to the extent
permitted or required by the Basic Documents, so long as the Issuer shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee every six months,
commencing no later than December  15, 2012 an Officer’s Certificate of the Issuer stating that all the dispositions of
Collateral described in clauses (A) and (B) above that occurred during the preceding six calendar months or shorter period in
the case of the first such Officer’s Certificate were in the ordinary course of the Issuer’s business and that
the proceeds thereof were applied in accordance with the Basic Documents.


 


Section
11.02.         Form of Documents Delivered to Indenture Trustee. In
any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary
that all such matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such Person, or that they be so certified or covered
by only one document, but one such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more other such
Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents.


 



    	55



    	 



    

 


Any certificate or opinion of an Authorized
Officer of the Issuer may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations
by, counsel, unless such officer knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations
with respect to the matters upon which such officer’s certificate or opinion is based are erroneous. Any such certificate
of an Authorized Officer or Opinion of Counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion
of, or representations by, an officer or officers of the Servicer, the Seller, the Issuer or the Administrator, stating that the
information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the Servicer, the Seller, the Issuer or the Administrator,
unless such counsel knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations
with respect to such matters are erroneous.


 


Where any Person is required to make, give
or execute two or more applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other instruments under this Indenture,
they may, but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument.


 


Whenever in this Indenture, in connection
with any application or certificate or report to the Indenture Trustee, it is provided that the Issuer shall deliver any document
as a condition of the granting of such application, or as evidence of the Issuer’s compliance with any term hereof, it is
intended that the truth and accuracy, at the time of the granting of such application or at the effective date of such certificate
or report (as the case may be), of the facts and opinions stated in such document shall in such case be conditions precedent to
the right of the Issuer to have such application granted or to the sufficiency of such certificate or report. The foregoing shall
not, however, be construed to affect the Indenture Trustee’s right to rely upon the truth and accuracy of any statement or
opinion contained in any such document as provided in Article Six.


 


Section
11.03.         Acts of Noteholders.


 


(a)          Any
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken
by Noteholders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Noteholders
in person or by agents duly appointed in writing; and except as herein otherwise expressly provided such action shall become effective
when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Indenture Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Issuer.
Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the
“Act” of the Noteholders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a
writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 6.01) conclusive
in favor of the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer, if made in the manner provided in this Section.


 


(b)          The
fact and date of the execution by any person of any such instrument or writing may be proved in any manner that the Indenture Trustee
deems sufficient.


 


(c)          The
ownership of Notes shall be proved by the Note Register.


 



    	56



    	 



    

 


(d)          Any
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action by the Holder of any Notes shall bind the Holder
of every Note issued upon the registration thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, in respect of anything done, omitted
or suffered to be done by the Indenture Trustee or the Issuer in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made
upon such Note.


 


Section
11.04.         Notices, etc., to Indenture Trustee, Issuer and Rating Agencies.
Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Noteholders or other documents provided or permitted
by this Indenture shall be in writing and if such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of
Noteholders is to be made upon, given or furnished to or filed with:


 


(i)          the
Indenture Trustee by any Noteholder or by the Issuer shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished
or filed in writing and mailed first-class, postage prepaid, overnight delivery service or facsimile to or with the Indenture Trustee
at its Corporate Trust Office, with a copy to Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, Structured Finance Services ABS, 100 Plaza
One, 6th Floor, Mail Stop JCY03-0699, Jersey City, New Jersey 07311-3901, or (as to notices sent by the Issuer to the Indenture
Trustee only) if sent by electronic mail, to an address provided by the Indenture Trustee in writing, or


 


(ii)         the
Issuer by the Indenture Trustee or by any Noteholder shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if in writing and mailed first-class,
postage prepaid, overnight delivery service or facsimile to the Issuer addressed to: Honda Auto Receivables 2012-2 Owner Trust,
in care of U.S. Bank Trust National Association, 190 South LaSalle Street, 7th Floor, Chicago, Illinois 60603, Attention: Corporate
Trust Services - Honda Auto Receivables 2012-2, or at any other address previously furnished in writing to the Indenture Trustee
by the Issuer or the Administrator. The Issuer shall promptly transmit any notice received by it from the Noteholders to the Indenture
Trustee.


 


(iii)        (a)          Notices
required to be given to each Rating Agency by the Issuer or the Administrator shall be in writing, personally delivered, couriered
or mailed by certified mail, return receipt requested, electronic mail (if an address therefore has been provided by the respective
party in writing) or overnight delivery service to (i) in the case of Fitch, at the following address: One State Street Plaza,
New York, New York 10004, Attention: Auto ABS Surveillance Department, or via email to notifications.abs@fitchratings.com and
(ii) in the case of Standard & Poor’s, via electronic delivery to servicer_reports@sandp.com, and in the case of any
information not available electronically, to Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, a Standard & Poor’s Financial
Services LLC business, 55 Water Street, 41st Floor, New York, New York 10041-0003, Attention: ABS Surveillance Group;
or at such other address (including electronic mail addresses) as shall be designated by written notice to the party or parties
providing notice under this paragraph.


 


(b)          Notwithstanding
subsection (iii)(a) above, notices required to be given to each Rating Agency by the Issuer or the Administrator, as the case may
be, may be made available by the Administrator through a website post, provided that the Administrator shall inform or cause each
Rating Agency to be informed in writing (including by electronic mail) that a notice has been posted.








 



    	57



    	 



    

 







 


(iv)       Notices
required to be given to the Honda Parties pursuant to Section 7.02(e) shall be in writing, personally delivered or mailed by certified
mail, return receipt requested, or overnight delivery service, by facsimile or by electronic mail (if an address therefore has
been provided by the Honda Parties in writing) to American Honda Finance Corporation and American Honda Receivables LLC, 20800
Madrona Avenue, Torrance, CA 90503, Attention: Treasury Manager.


 


Section
11.05.     Notices to Noteholders; Waiver. Where this Indenture provides for notice to Noteholders of any event, such
notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class, postage
prepaid to each Noteholder affected by such event, at such Holder’s address as it appears on the Note Register, not later
than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice. In any case where notice
to Noteholders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice nor any defect in any notice so mailed to any particular
Noteholder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Noteholders, and any notice that is mailed in the
manner herein provided shall conclusively be presumed to have been duly given.


 


Where this Indenture provides for notice
in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by any Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event,
and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Noteholders shall be filed with the Indenture Trustee
but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such a waiver.


 


In case, by reason of the suspension of
regular mail service as a result of a strike, work stoppage or similar activity, it shall be impractical to mail notice of any
event to Noteholders when such notice is required to be given pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, then any manner of giving
such notice as shall be satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to be a sufficient giving of such notice.


 


Where this Indenture provides for notice
to each Rating Agency, failure to give such notice shall not affect any other rights or obligations created hereunder, and shall
not under any circumstance constitute a Default or Event of Default.


 


Section
11.06.     Alternate Payment and Notice Provisions. Notwithstanding any provision of this Indenture or any of the
Notes to the contrary, the Issuer may enter into any agreement with any Holder of a Note providing for a method of payment, or
notice by the Indenture Trustee or any Paying Agent to such Holder, that is different from the methods provided for in this Indenture
for such payments or notices. The Issuer will furnish to the Indenture Trustee a copy of each such agreement and the Indenture
Trustee will cause payments to be made and notices to be given in accordance with such agreements.


 


Section
11.07.     Conflict with Trust Indenture Act. If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with another
provision hereof that is required to be included in this Indenture by any of the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act, such required
provision shall control.


 


The provisions of TIA Sections 310 through
317 that impose duties on any person (including the provisions automatically deemed included herein unless expressly excluded by
this Indenture) are a part of and govern this Indenture, whether or not physically contained herein.

Section
11.08.     Effect of Headings and Table of Contents. The Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents
are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.


 


Section
11.09.     Successors and Assigns. All covenants and agreements in this Indenture and the Notes by the Issuer shall
bind its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not. All agreements of the Indenture Trustee in this Indenture shall bind
its successors, co-trustees and agents.


 


Section
11.10.     Separability. In case any provision in this Indenture or in the Notes shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable,
the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Indenture and the Notes shall not in any way be affected
or impaired thereby.


 


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


 


Section
11.12.     Legal Holidays. In any case where the date on which any payment is due shall not be a Business Day, then
(notwithstanding any other provision of the Note’s or this Indenture) payment need not be made on such date, but may be made
on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the date on which nominally due, and no interest
shall accrue for the period from and after any such nominal date.


 


Section
11.13.     Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. THIS INDENTURE SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS, AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS
AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS. 


 


Each of the parties hereto hereby submits
to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and of any New York State
court sitting in New York City for purposes of all legal proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions
contemplated hereby. Each of the parties hereto hereby further irrevocably waives any claim that any such courts lack jurisdiction
over such party, and agrees not to plead or claim, in any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement in any of the
aforesaid courts, that any such court lacks jurisdiction over such party. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably waives, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such proceeding
brought in such a court and any claim that any such proceeding brought in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.


 



    	59



    	 



    

 


Each party hereto hereby waives, to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any litigation directly or indirectly
arising out of, under or in connection with this agreement.


 


Section
11.14.     Counterparts. This Indenture may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall
be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.


 


Section
11.15.     Recording of Indenture. If this Indenture is subject to recording in any appropriate public recording offices,
such recording is to be effected by the Issuer and at its expense accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel (which may be counsel to
the Indenture Trustee or any other counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indenture Trustee) to the effect that such recording is
necessary either for the protection of the Noteholders or any other Person secured hereunder or for the enforcement of any right
or remedy granted to the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture.


 


Section
11.16.     Trust Obligation. No recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations of
the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee on the Notes or under this Indenture or any certificate or other writing
delivered in connection herewith or therewith, against (i) the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity,
(ii) any owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer or (iii) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer, director, employee
or agent of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, any holder of a beneficial interest in the Issuer,

capacity, except as any such Person may have expressly agreed (it being understood that the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee
have no such obligations in their individual capacity) and except that any such partner, owner or beneficiary shall be fully liable,
to the extent provided by applicable law, for any unpaid consideration for stock, unpaid capital contribution or failure to pay
any installment or call owing to such entity. For all purposes of this Indenture, in the performance of any duties or obligations
of the Issuer hereunder, the Owner Trustee shall be subject to, and entitled to the benefits of, the terms and provisions of Articles
Six, Seven and Eight of the Trust Agreement as if specifically set forth herein.


 


Section
11.17.     No Petition. The Indenture Trustee, by entering into this Indenture, and each Noteholder, by accepting
a Note, hereby covenant and agree that they will not at any time institute against the Issuer, or join in any institution against

United States federal or state bankruptcy or similar law in connection with any obligations relating to the Notes, this Indenture
or any of the other Basic Documents.

Section
11.18.     Inspection. The Issuer agrees that, on reasonable prior notice, it will permit any representative of the
Indenture Trustee, during the Issuer’s normal business hours, to examine all the books of account, records, reports and other
papers of the Issuer, to make copies and extracts therefrom, to cause such books to be audited by Independent certified public
accountants, and to discuss the Issuer’s affairs, finances and accounts with the Issuer’s officers, employees and Independent
certified public accountants, all at such reasonable times and as often as may be reasonably requested. Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, the foregoing shall not be construed to prohibit (i) the disclosure of any and all information that is
or becomes publicly known, or information obtained by the Indenture Trustee from sources other than the Servicer or the Issuer,
(ii) the disclosure of any and all information (A) if required to do so by any applicable law, rule or regulation, (B) to any government
agency or regulatory body having or claiming authority to regulate or oversee any aspects of the Indenture Trustee’s business
or that of its affiliates, (C) pursuant to any subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar demand or request of any court,
regulatory authority, arbitrator or arbitration to which the Indenture Trustee or any affiliate or an officer, director, employer
or shareholder thereof is a party, (D) in any preliminary or final offering circular, registration statement or contract or other
document pertaining to the transactions contemplated by the Agreement approved in advance by the Servicer or the Issuer or (E)
to any affiliate, independent or internal auditor, agent, employee or attorney of the Indenture Trustee having a need to know the
same for reasons directly related to the ability of the Indenture Trustee to perform its duties hereunder, provided that the Indenture
Trustee advises such recipient of the confidential nature of the information being disclosed, or (iii) any other disclosure authorized
by the Servicer or the Issuer.


 


Section
11.19.     [Reserved].


 


Section
11.20.     Disclosure of Tax Treatment. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything herein to the contrary, all persons
(and their respective employees, representatives or other agents) may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any
kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the transaction described herein and all materials of any kind (including opinions
or other tax analyses) that are provided to the recipient relating to such tax treatment and tax structure. However, any such information
relating to the tax treatment or tax structure shall be required to be kept confidential to the extent necessary to comply with
any applicable securities laws.


 


Section
11.21.     Intent of the Parties; Reasonableness.


 


The Indenture Trustee and Issuer acknowledge
and agree that the purpose of Section 3.09 and 7.02(e) of this Agreement is to facilitate compliance by the Issuer and the Depositor
with the provisions of Regulation AB and related rules and regulations of the Commission.


 


Neither the Issuer nor the Administrator
(acting on behalf of the Issuer) shall exercise its right to request delivery of information or other performance under these provisions
other than in good faith, or for purposes other than compliance with federal securities laws, including the Securities Act, the
Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder. Each of the parties hereto agrees that (a) the obligations
of the parties hereunder shall be interpreted in such a manner as to accomplish compliance with Regulation AB, (b) the parties’
obligations hereunder will be supplemented and modified as necessary to be consistent with any such amendments, interpretive advice
or guidance from the Securities and Exchange Commission, convention or consensus among active participants in the asset-backed
securities markets, or otherwise in respect of the requirements of Regulation AB as they may be applied by the Securities and Exchange
Commission to the Issuer in connection with the Notes and (c) the parties shall comply with reasonable requests made by or on behalf
of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee for delivery of additional or different information, to the extent such information is available,
as the person requesting such information may determine in good faith is necessary for it to comply with the provisions of Regulation
AB. Any and all expenses incurred by the Indenture Trustee in compliance with this Section shall be considered indemnities payable
in accordance with Section 6.07 hereof.


 



    	61



    	 



    

 


The Issuer (or the Administrator, acting
on behalf of the Issuer) shall cooperate with the Indenture Trustee by providing timely notice of requests for information under
these provisions and by reasonably limiting such requests to information required, in the reasonable judgment of the Issuer to
comply with Regulation AB.


 


Section
11.22.     Owner Trustee. The parties hereto agree that this Agreement is executed and delivered by the Owner Trustee,
not individually or personally but solely as owner trustee of the Issuer, in the exercise of the powers and authority conferred
and vested in it under the Amended and Restated Trust Agreement dated April 25, 2012 among the Issuer and the Owner Trustee; each
of the representations, undertakings and agreements herein made on the part of the Issuer are made and intended not as personal
representations, undertakings and agreements by U.S. Bank Trust National Association, but are made and intended for the purpose
of binding only the Issuer; and under no circumstances shall U.S. Bank Trust National Association be personally liable for the
inaccuracy or breach of any statements made by the Issuer in this Agreement.


 


Section
11.23.     U.S.A. Patriot Act. The parties hereto acknowledge that in accordance with Section 326 of the U.S.A. Patriot
Act, the Indenture Trustee, like all financial institutions and in order to help fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering,
is required to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person or legal entity that establishes a relationship
or opens an account with the Indenture Trustee. The parties to this Indenture agree that they will provide the Indenture Trustee
with such information about the Owner Trustee as it may request in order for the Indenture Trustee to satisfy the requirements
of the U.S.A. Patriot Act.


 


Section
11.24.     Communications with Rating Agencies. If the Indenture Trustee shall receive any written or oral communication
from any Rating Agency (or any of their respective officers, directors or employees) with respect to the transactions contemplated
hereby or under the Basic Documents or in any way relating to the Notes, the Indenture Trustee agrees to refrain from communicating
with such Rating Agency and to promptly notify the Administrator of such communication. The Indenture Trustee agrees to coordinate
with the Administrator with respect to any communication received from a Rating Agency and further agrees that in no event shall
the Indenture Trustee engage in any oral communication with respect to the substance of the transactions contemplated hereby or
under the Basic Documents or in any way relating to the Notes, with any Rating Agency (or any of their respective officers, directors
or employees) without the participation of the Administrator.


 


The Indenture Trustee will not be responsible
for delays attributable to the Administrator’s failure to deliver any information related to any communication with a Rating
Agency (with respect to this section, the “Information”), defects in the Information supplied to the Rating Agency
or Administrator or other circumstances beyond the control of the Indenture Trustee. The Indenture Trustee shall be under no obligation
to make any determination as to the veracity or applicability of any Information provided to it, or whether any such Information
is required to be maintained on a website or other public medium.

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue
of Notes of the Issuer, designated as its ___% Asset Backed Notes, Class [A- 1] [A-2] [A-3] [A-4] (the “Class [A-1] [A-2]

is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights and obligations thereunder of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the
Holders of the Notes. The Notes are subject to all terms of the Indenture. Capitalized terms used herein that are not otherwise
defined shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Indenture.


 


The Class A-1 Notes, the Class A-2 Notes,
the Class A-3 Notes and the Class A-4 Notes (collectively, the “Notes”) are and will be equally and ratably secured
by the collateral pledged as security therefore, except as provided in the Indenture or the Sale and Servicing Agreement.


 


Principal payable on the Notes will be paid
on each Payment Date in the amount specified in the Indenture and in the Sale and Servicing Agreement. As described above, the
entire unpaid principal amount of this Note will be payable on the earlier of the Class [A-1] [A-2] [A-3] [A-4] Final Payment Date
and the Redemption Date, if any, selected pursuant to the Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, under certain circumstances,
the entire unpaid principal amount of the Class [A-1] [A-2] [A-3] [A-4] Notes shall be due and payable following the occurrence

Payments of principal and interest on this
Note due and payable on each Payment Date or Redemption Date shall be made by check mailed to the Person whose name appears as
the registered Holder of this Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) on the Note Register as of the close of business on the related
Record Date, except that with respect to Notes registered on the Record Date in the name of the nominee of the Depository (initially,
such nominee to be Cede & Co.), payments will be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account designated
by such nominee. Such checks shall be mailed to the Person entitled thereto at the address of such Person as it appears on the
Note Register as of the applicable Record Date without requiring that this Note be submitted for notation of payment. Any reduction
in the principal amount of this Note (or any one or more Predecessor Notes) affected by any payments made on any Payment Date or
Redemption Date shall be binding upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer
hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not noted hereon. If funds are expected to be available, as provided
in the Indenture or the Sale and Servicing Agreement, for payment in full of the remaining unpaid principal amount of this Note
on a Payment Date or Redemption Date, then the Indenture Trustee, in the name of and on behalf of the Issuer, will notify the Person
who was the registered Holder hereof as of the Record Date preceding such Payment Date or Redemption Date by notice mailed within
five days of such Payment Date or Redemption Date and the amount then due and payable shall be payable only upon presentation and
surrender of this Note at the Corporate Trust Office of the Indenture Trustee or at the office of the Indenture Trustee’s

As provided in the Indenture and subject
to the limitations set forth therein and on the face hereof, the transfer of this Note may be registered on the Note Register upon
surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency designated by the Issuer pursuant to the Indenture,
duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee duly executed
by, the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, with such signature guaranteed by an “eligible
guarantor institution” meeting the requirements of the Note 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 Note Registrar in addition to, or in substitution for, STAMP, all in accordance with the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and thereupon one or more new Notes of authorized denominations and in the same aggregate principal
amount will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. No service charge will be charged for any registration of transfer
or exchange of this Note, but the transferor may be required to pay a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge
that may be imposed in connection with any such registration of transfer or exchange.


 


Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance
of a Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note, covenants and agrees that no recourse may be taken,
directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee on the Notes
or under the Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered in connection therewith, against (i) the Indenture Trustee
or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, (ii) any owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer or (iii) any partner, owner,
beneficiary, agent, officer, director or employee of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, any
holder of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee or of any successor or assign of the
Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, except as any such Person may have expressly agreed and except
that any such partner, owner or beneficiary shall be fully liable, to the extent provided by applicable law, for any unpaid consideration
for stock, unpaid capital contribution or failure to pay any installment or call owing to such entity.


 


Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance
of a Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note, covenants and agrees by accepting the benefits of the
Indenture that such Noteholder or Note Owner will not at any time institute against the Seller or the Issuer, or join in any institution
against the Seller or the Issuer of, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under any
United States federal or state bankruptcy or similar law in connection with any obligations relating to the Notes, the Indenture
or the other Basic Documents.


 


Any Person that acquires a beneficial interest
in this Note with the assets of a Benefit Plan or any other plan subject to a law that is substantially similar to Title I of ERISA
or Section 4975 of the Code ("Similar Law") shall be deemed to represent that its acquisition and holding of such beneficial
interest will not give rise to a nonexempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code because
it is covered by a United States Department of Labor prohibited transaction class exemption or by some other applicable statutory
or administrative exemption and will not cause a nonexempt violation of any Similar Law.


 


The Issuer has entered into the Indenture
and this Note is issued with the intention that, for federal, state and local income, single business and franchise tax purposes,
the Notes will qualify as indebtedness secured by the Owner Trust Estate. Each Noteholder, by acceptance of a Note (and each Note
Owner by acceptance of a beneficial interest in a Note), agrees to treat the Notes for federal, state and local income, single
business and franchise tax purposes as indebtedness of the Issuer.

Prior to the due presentment for registration
of transfer of this Note, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee may treat the
Person in whose name this Note (as of the day of determination or as of such other date as may be specified in the Indenture) is
registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee
or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.


 


The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions
as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Issuer and the rights of the
Holders of the Notes under the Indenture at any time by the Issuer with the consent of the Holders of Notes representing a majority
of the Outstanding Amount of all Notes at the time Outstanding. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of
Notes representing specified percentages of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes, to
waive compliance by the Issuer with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their
consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note (or any one or more Predecessor Notes) shall be conclusive
and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer
hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note. The Indenture
also permits the Indenture Trustee to amend or waive certain terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture without the consent
of Holders of the Notes issued thereunder.


 


The Notes are issuable only in registered
form in denominations as provided in the Indenture, subject to certain limitations therein set forth.


 


This Note shall be construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of New York, without reference to its conflict of law provisions, and the obligations, rights and remedies
of the parties hereunder and thereunder shall be determined in accordance with such laws.
