 RESIDUAL INTEREST INSTRUMENTS AND TRANSFER OF INTERESTS

  
 Section 3.01 Initial Ownership. The Depositor
is the initial Residual Interestholder. Unless the Depositor elects to cause the Residual Interest to be evidenced by a Residual Interest Instrument pursuant to Section 3.02(a), the Residual Interest will be uncertificated. Upon the formation of the
Trust by the contribution by the Depositor pursuant to Section 2.05 and until the issuance of the Residual Interest Instruments, the Depositor, as the initial Residual Interestholder, shall be the sole beneficiary of the Trust. The Depositor shall
sell, assign, pledge or otherwise transfer the Residual Interest only if the Residual Interest is evidenced by a Residual Interest Instrument. 
  
 Section 3.02 The Residual Interest Instruments and the Notes. 
  
 (a) The Depositor, in its sole discretion, may request the Owner Trustee to issue a Residual Interest
Instrument to represent the Residual Interest. Any such Residual Interest Instruments shall not be issued with a principal amount. Such Residual Interest Instruments shall be executed by the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Trust by manual or
facsimile signature of an authorized officer of the Owner Trustee, and authenticated by the Trust Agent by the manual or facsimile signature of an authorized officer of the Trust Agent and shall be deemed to have been validly issued when so executed
and authenticated. Residual Interest Instruments bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were, at the time when such signatures were affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of the Owner Trustee or the Trust Agent shall be validly
issued by the Trust, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to be so authorized prior to the execution, authentication and delivery of such Residual Interest Instruments or did not hold such offices at the date of such
Residual Interest Instruments. All Residual Interest Instruments shall be dated the date of their authentication. 
  
 (b) The Notes shall be executed by the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Trust by manual or facsimile signature of an authorized officer of
the Owner Trustee, and shall be authenticated as provided in the Indenture. Notes bearing the manual or facsimile signature of an individual who was, at the time when such signature was affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of the Owner Trustee
shall be deemed to have been validly executed by the Trust, notwithstanding that such individual has ceased to be so authorized prior to the execution and delivery of such Notes or did not hold such office at the date of such Notes.

 Section 3.03 Execution, Authentication and Delivery of Residual Interest Instruments and Notes.

  
 (a) The Owner Trustee shall cause to be
executed, authenticated and delivered upon the order of the Depositor, in exchange for the Contracts and the other assets of the Trust, simultaneously with the sale, assignment and transfer to the Trust of the Contracts, and such other assets, (a)
the Residual Interest Instruments representing 100% of the Percentage Interests of the Residual Interest, evidencing the entire ownership of the Trust, and (b) Notes executed by the Trust in aggregate principal amount of, in the case of the (i)
Class A-1 Notes, $181,000,000, (ii) Class A-2 Notes, $193,000,000, (iii) Class A-3 Notes, $177,000,000, and (iv) Class A-4 Notes, $149,000,000. The Owner Trustee is hereby authorized to direct, on behalf of the Trust, the Indenture Trustee to
authenticate and deliver the Notes upon the order of the Depositor. No Residual Interest Instrument shall entitle its Owner to any benefit under this Agreement, or be valid for any purpose, unless there appears on such Residual Interest Instrument a
certificate of authentication substantially in the form set forth in the form of Residual Interest Instrument attached hereto as Exhibit B, executed by the Trust Agent or another authenticating agent of the Owner Trustee, by manual or facsimile
signature, and such certificate upon any Residual Interest Instrument shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Residual Interest Instrument has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. Upon issuance, authorization and
delivery pursuant to the terms hereof, the Residual Interest Instruments will be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement. For avoidance of doubt, the Depositor, as the initial Residual Interestholder, shall be entitled to the benefits of this
Agreement in all respects. 
  
 Section 3.04 Registration of
Transfer and Exchange of Residual Interest Instruments. 
  
 (a) The Certificate Registrar shall keep or cause to be kept, a Certificate Register, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe. The Certificate Register shall provide for the registration of Residual
Interest Instruments and transfers and exchanges of Residual Interest Instruments as provided herein. The Trust Agent, as agent for the Trust, is hereby initially appointed Certificate Registrar for the purpose of registering Residual Interest
Instruments and transfers and exchanges of Residual Interest Instruments as herein provided. In the event that, subsequent to the Closing Date, the Trust Agent notifies the Administrator that the Trust Agent is unable to act as Certificate
Registrar, the Administrator shall appoint another bank or trust company, having an office or agency located in The City of New York, agreeing to act in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement applicable to it, and otherwise acceptable to
the Depositor, to act as successor Certificate Registrar hereunder. 
  
 (b) Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Residual Interest Instrument at the office of the Certificate Registrar, the Owner Trustee shall execute, authenticate and deliver (or shall cause the Trust
Agent, as its authenticating agent, to authenticate and deliver), in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Residual Interest Instruments in authorized denominations of a like Percentage Interest. 
  

 -10- 








 (c) At the option of an Owner of a Residual Interest Instrument, Residual Interest
Instruments may be exchanged for other Residual Interest Instruments in authorized denominations of a like Percentage Interest, upon surrender of the Residual Interest Instruments to be exchanged at the office of the Certificate Registrar. Whenever
any Residual Interest Instruments are so surrendered for exchange, the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall execute, authenticate and deliver (or shall cause the Trust Agent, as its authenticating agent, to authenticate and deliver) the
Residual Interest Instruments that the Owner making the exchange is entitled to receive. Every Residual Interest Instrument presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in
form satisfactory to the Trust Agent and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Owner thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. 
  
 (d) No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Residual Interest Instruments, but the Owner Trustee
or, on its behalf, the Trust Agent, may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Residual Interest Instruments. 
  
 (e) All Residual Interest Instruments surrendered for
registration of transfer or exchange, if surrendered to any agent of the Owner Trustee under this Agreement, shall be delivered to the Trust Agent and promptly canceled by it, or, if surrendered to the Trust Agent, shall be promptly canceled by it,
and no Residual Interest Instruments shall be issued in lieu thereof except as expressly permitted by any of the provisions of this Agreement. The Trust Agent shall dispose of canceled Residual Interest Instruments in accordance with the normal
industry practice. 
  
 (f) Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Agreement, no assignment of a Residual Interest Instrument pursuant to Article III of this Agreement (where, for this purpose, an assignment includes any purported sale, transfer, assignment, redemption, or entering
into any financial instrument or contract the value of which is determined in whole or in part by reference to the Trust, including the amount of Trust distributions, the value of Trust assets, or the results of Trust operations) shall be recognized
by the Trust, and any such transaction shall be treated as null and void and of no effect ab initio, unless such transaction (i) will not occur through an “established securities market” within the meaning of Treasury
Regulation 1.7704-1(b), and (ii) will not cause the Trust to have more than 50 members within the meaning of Treasury Regulation 1.7704-1(h)(1)(ii) (where, for purposes of determining the number of members of the Trust, a person (“beneficial
owner”) owning an interest in a partnership, grantor trust, or S corporation (“flow-through entity”) that owns, directly or through other flow-through entities, an interest in the Trust will be treated as a member of the Trust if more
than 50% of the value of such beneficial owner’s interest in such flow-through entity is attributable to the flow-through entity’s interest (direct or indirect) in the Trust). 
  
 Section 3.05 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Residual Interest Instruments. If (a) the Certificate Registrar
receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Residual Interest Instrument and the Certificate Registrar and the Trust Agent receive such 

  

 -11- 








 
security or indemnity as may be required by them to hold the Certificate Registrar and the Trust Agent harmless, or (b) any mutilated Residual Interest
Instrument is surrendered to the Certificate Registrar, then, in the absence of notice to the Certificate Registrar or the Trust Agent that such Residual Interest Instrument has been acquired by a Protected Purchaser and the requirements of Section
8-406 of the UCC are met, and subject to Section 8-405 of the UCC, the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall execute and the Trust Agent, as its authenticating agent, shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Residual Interest Instrument, a new Residual Interest Instrument of like tenor and Percentage Interest. In connection with the issuance of any new Residual Interest Instrument under this Section, the Owner
Trustee or, on its behalf, the Trust Agent, may require the payment by the Owner of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto. Any duplicate Residual Interest Instrument issued pursuant to
this Section shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in the Trust, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Residual Interest Instrument shall be found at any time. 
  
 Section 3.06 Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentation of a
Residual Interest Instrument for registration of transfer, the Owner Trustee, the Trust Agent, the Certificate Registrar, any Paying Agent and any of their respective agents may treat the Person in whose name any Residual Interest Instrument is
registered as the owner of such Residual Interest Instrument for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to Section 5.02 and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Owner Trustee, the Trust Agent, the Certificate Registrar, any
Paying Agent or any of their respective agents shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. 
  
 Section 3.07 Access to List of Owners’ Names and Addresses. The Trust Agent shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Servicer, the
Insurer and the Depositor, within 15 days after receipt by the Trust Agent of a written request therefor from the Servicer, the Insurer or the Depositor, a list, in such form as the Servicer, the Insurer or the Depositor may reasonably require, of
the names and addresses of the Owners as of the most recent Record Date. Each Owner, by receiving and holding a Residual Interest Instrument, agrees with the Servicer, the Depositor, the Owner Trustee and the Trust Agent that none of the Servicer,
the Depositor, the Owner Trustee or the Trust Agent shall be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information as to its name and address hereunder, regardless of the source from which such information was derived. 
  
 Section 3.08 Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Trust Agent shall
maintain in the City of New York an office or offices or agency or agencies where Residual Interest Instruments may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Trust Agent in respect of the
Residual Interest Instruments and the Basic Documents may be served. The Trust Agent hereby designates the office of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. at the address provided under the definition of the term “Trust Agent Office” as its
office for such purposes. The Trust Agent shall give prompt written notice to the Owner Trustee, the Depositor, the Servicer and to the Owners of any change in the location of the Certificate Register or any such office or agency. 
  
 Section 3.09 Temporary Residual Interest Instruments. Pending the
preparation of definitive Residual Interest Instruments, the Owner Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, may execute, 

  

 -12- 








 
authenticate and deliver, temporary Residual Interest Instruments that are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any
authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Residual Interest Instruments in lieu of which they are issued. If temporary Residual Interest Instruments are issued, the Depositor will cause definitive Residual Interest
Instruments to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Residual Interest Instruments, the temporary Residual Interest Instruments shall be exchangeable for definitive Residual Interest Instruments upon surrender
of the temporary Residual Interest Instruments at the office or agency to be maintained as provided in Section 3.08, without charge to the Owner. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Residual Interest Instruments, the Owner
Trustee shall execute, authenticate and deliver (or shall cause the Trust Agent, as its authenticating agent, to authenticate and deliver) in exchange therefor a like Percentage Interest of definitive Residual Interest Instruments in authorized
denominations. Until so exchanged, the temporary Residual Interest Instruments shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits hereunder as definitive Residual Interest Instruments. 
  
 Section 3.10 Appointment of Paying Agent. The Owner Trustee, on behalf
of the Trust, hereby appoints the Trust Agent as Paying Agent under this Agreement. The Paying Agent shall make distributions to Owners from the Residual Distribution Account pursuant to Section 5.02 hereof and shall report the amounts of such
distributions to the Owner Trustee. The Paying Agent shall have the revocable power to withdraw funds from the Residual Distribution Account for the purpose of making the distributions referred to above. The Owner Trustee on behalf of the Trust may
revoke such power and remove the Paying Agent if the Owner Trustee is directed in writing to do so by the Administrator. Each Paying Agent shall be permitted to resign as Paying Agent upon 30 days’ written notice to the Trust. In the event that
the Trust Agent shall no longer be the Paying Agent, the Administrator shall appoint a successor to act as Paying Agent (which shall be a bank or trust company acceptable to the Insurer). The Administrator shall cause such successor Paying Agent or
any additional Paying Agent appointed by the Administrator to execute and deliver to the Trust an instrument in which such successor Paying Agent or additional Paying Agent shall agree with the Trust that, as Paying Agent, such successor Paying
Agent or additional Paying Agent will hold all sums, if any, held by it for payment to the Owners in trust for the benefit of the Owners entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to the Owners. The Paying Agent shall return all unclaimed funds
to the Trust and upon removal of a Paying Agent such Paying Agent shall also return all funds in its possession to the Trust. The provisions of Sections 7.01, 7.03, 7.04, 8.01 and 8.02 shall apply to the Trust Agent also in its role as Paying Agent,
for so long as the Trust Agent shall act as Paying Agent and, to the extent applicable, to any other paying agent appointed hereunder. Any reference in this Agreement to the Paying Agent shall include any co-paying agent unless the context requires
otherwise. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Trust Agent and the Paying Agent shall be the same entity as the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture and the Sale and Servicing Agreement, unless an Insurer Default has occurred and
is continuing. 
  
 Section 3.11 Restrictions on Transfer of
Residual Interest Instruments. 
  
 (a) Each
prospective purchaser and any subsequent transferee of a Residual Interest Instrument (each, a “Prospective Owner”), other than the Depositor, by virtue of its acceptance thereof, shall be deemed to have represented and warranted to

involved in the organization or operation of the Trust or an affiliate of such Person within the meaning of Rule 3a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (including, but not limited to, the Depositor and Onyx Acceptance Corporation).

Residual Interest Instruments have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act and may be offered, sold, pledged or otherwise transferred only to a person whom the seller reasonably believes is (A) a qualified institutional buyer
(as such term is defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act) or (B) a Person involved in the organization or operation of the Trust or an affiliate of such Person, in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A under the Securities Act
and in accordance with any applicable securities laws of any state of the United States. 
  
 (iii) Such Person understands that the Residual Interest Instrument shall bear a legend on the face thereof substantially in the form set
forth in the form of Residual Interest Instrument attached hereto as Exhibit B. 
  
 (iv) Such Person shall comply with the provisions of Section 3.11(b), as applicable, relating to the ERISA restrictions with respect to
the acceptance or acquisition of such Residual Interest Instrument. 
  
 (v) Such Person is and shall remain a United States Person and will not transfer the Residual Interest Instrument to a Person who is not a United States Person, other than pursuant to a repurchase agreement (which is
treated as a loan for tax purposes) or solely to evidence a security interest. 
  
 (b) The Residual Interest Instruments may not be acquired by or for the account of (i) an employee benefit plan (as defined in Section
3(3) ERISA) that is subject to the provisions of Title I of ERISA, (ii) a plan described in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code or (iii) any entity, including an insurance company separate account or general account, whose underlying assets include plan
assets by reason of a plan’s investment in the entity (each, a “Benefit Plan”). By accepting and holding a Residual Interest Instrument, the Owner shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that it is not a Benefit Plan.

Trustee, shall be the successor of the Owner Trustee hereunder, without the execution or filing of any instrument or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding; provided, that such
corporation shall be eligible pursuant to Section 10.01 and, provided, further, that the Owner Trustee shall mail notice of such merger or consolidation to each Rating Agency.

and shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by the Administrator, the Insurer and Owner Trustee to act as co-trustee, jointly with the Owner Trustee, or as separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or
any part of the Trust Estate, and to vest in such Person, in such capacity, such title to the Trust or any part thereof and, subject to the other provisions of this Section, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Administrator
and the Owner Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If the Administrator shall not have joined in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request to do so, the Owner Trustee and the Insurer shall have the power to make
such appointment. No co-trustee or separate trustee under this Agreement shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor Owner Trustee, provided that such co-trustee or successor trustee must be acceptable to the Rating Agencies

performed by the Owner Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being understood that such separate trustee or co-trustee is not authorized to act separately without the Owner Trustee joining in such act), except to the extent
that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed, the Owner Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including
the holding of title to the Trust 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 Owner Trustee; 
  
 (b) no trustee under this Agreement shall be personally

 Any notice, request or other writing
given to the Owner Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this
Agreement and the conditions of this Article. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Owner
Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement, specifically including every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of or affording protection to, the Owner
Trustee. Each such instrument shall be filed with the Owner Trustee and a copy thereof given to the Administrator and the Insurer. 
  
 Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time appoint the Owner Trustee as its agent or attorney-in-fact with full power and authority, to the extent
not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates, properties,
rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the Owner Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor co-trustee or separate trustee. 
  
 The Owner Trustee on behalf of the Trust hereby appoints JPMorgan Chase Bank,
N.A. as Trust Agent for the purpose of establishing and maintaining the Residual Distribution Account and making the distributions therefrom to persons entitled thereto pursuant to Section 5.02 of this Agreement and for purposes of performing the
other duties specified to be performed by the Trust Agent under this Agreement and the other Basic Documents. The Owner Trustee and the Trust Agent each agree that upon the occurrence and continuation of an Insurer Default, the Trust Agent shall
resign and the Owner Trustee shall assume all rights, duties and obligations of the Trust Agent under the Sale and Servicing Agreement and this Agreement, including without limitation, the obligations of the Trust Agent pursuant to Sections 3.02,
3.03, 3.04, 3.05, 3.07, 3.08, 3.09, 3.10, 5.01 and 5.02 hereof. The Trust Agent, in its capacity as Trust Agent, shall not have any rights, duties or obligations except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the Administration Agreement and the
Sale and Servicing Agreement.

days’ written notice thereof to the Owner Trustee and the Administrator. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Owner Trustee, at the written direction of the Administrator, shall promptly appoint a successor Trust Agent by written
instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trust Agent and one copy to the successor Trust Agent.
