&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•our ability to process or collect loans and finance receivables through the Automated Clearing House system;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•the deterioration of the political, regulatory or economic environment in countries where we operate or in the future may operate;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•public and regulatory perception of the consumer loan business, small business financing and our business practices;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•the effect of any current or future litigation proceedings and any judicial decisions or rulemaking that affects us, our products or the legality or enforceability of our arbitration agreements;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•changes in demand for our services, changes in competition and the continued acceptance of the online channel by our customers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•changes in our ability to satisfy our debt obligations or to refinance existing debt obligations or obtain new capital to finance growth;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•a prolonged interruption in the operations of our facilities, systems and business functions, including our information technology and other business systems;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•compliance with laws and regulations applicable to our international operations, including anti-corruption laws such as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and international anti-money laundering, trade and economic sanctions laws;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•other risks and uncertainties described herein.

The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive and new factors may emerge or changes to these factors may occur that would impact the Company's business and cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any of our forward-looking statements.

All forward-looking statements involve risks, assumptions and uncertainties. The occurrence of the events described, and the achievement of the expected results, depends on many events, some or all of which are not predictable or within the Company's control. If one or more events related to these or other risks or uncertainties materialize, or if management's underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results may differ materially from what the Company anticipates. The forward-looking statements in this report are made as of the date of this report, and the Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this report. All forward-looking statements in this report are expressly qualified in their entirety by the foregoing cautionary statements.

**NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)**

**1. Significant Accounting Policies** 

***Nature of the Company*** 

Enova International, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company") operate an internet-based lending platform to serve customers in need of cash to fulfill their financial responsibilities. Through a network of direct and indirect marketing channels, the Company offers funds to its customers through a variety of loan and finance receivable products that are primarily unsecured. The business is operated primarily through the internet to provide convenient, fully-automated financial solutions to its customers. The Company provides financing to small businesses through either installment loans or line of credit accounts and originates, guarantees or purchases consumer installment loans and line of credit accounts. The Company also provides services related to a third-party lender's consumer loan products in some markets by acting as a credit services organization or credit access business on behalf of consumers in accordance with applicable state laws ("CSO program").

***Basis of Presentation*** 

The consolidated financial statements of the Company included herein have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") and reflect the historical results of operations and cash flows of the Company during each respective period. The consolidated financial statements include goodwill and intangible assets arising from businesses previously acquired. The financial information included herein may not be indicative of the consolidated financial position, operating results, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows of the Company in the future. Intercompany transactions are eliminated.

The Company consolidates any VIE where it has been determined it is the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary is the entity which has both the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance as well as the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits of the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE.

The consolidated financial statements presented as of June 30, 2025 and 2024 and for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 are unaudited but, in management's opinion, include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results for such interim periods. Operating results for the three and six-month periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year.

These consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 and for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 and related notes, which are included on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 18, 2025.

***Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash***

The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash to amounts reported within the consolidated balance sheets (in thousands):

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **June 30,** | **June 30,** |
|  | **2025** | **2024** |
| Cash and cash equivalents | $55560 | $60138 |
| Restricted cash | 323883 | 211167 |
| Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash | $379443 | $271305 |

---

***Revenue Recognition***

The Company recognizes revenue based on the financing products and services it offers and on loans it acquires. "Revenue" in the consolidated statements of income primarily includes interest income, statement and draw fees on line of credit accounts, fees for services provided through the Company's CSO program ("CSO fees"), origination fees and other fees as permitted by applicable laws and pursuant to the agreement with the customer. Interest income is generally recognized on an effective yield basis over the contractual term of the loan on installment loans or the estimated outstanding period of the draw on line of credit accounts. Statement fees on line of credit accounts are similar to interest charges and are generally recognized similarly to interest income. Draw fees on line of credit accounts are generally recognized at the time of draw. CSO fees are recognized over the term of the loan. Origination fees are charged to customers on certain installment loan products and are recognized upon origination.

**NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)**

***Loans and Finance Receivables***

The Company utilizes the fair value option on its entire loan and finance receivable portfolio. As such, loans and finance receivables are carried at fair value in the consolidated balance sheet with changes in fair value recorded in the consolidated income statement. To derive the fair value, the Company generally utilizes discounted cash flow analyses that factor in estimated losses, prepayments and servicing costs over the estimated duration of the underlying assets. Loss, prepayment and servicing cost assumptions are determined using historical data and include appropriate consideration of recent trends and anticipated future performance. Future cash flows are discounted using a rate of return that the Company believes a market participant would require. Accrued and unpaid interest and fees are included in "Loans and finance receivables at fair value" in the consolidated balance sheets.

If a loan is renewed or refinanced, the renewal or refinanced loan is considered a new loan. The Company generally does not consider modifications that do not necessitate the customer to sign a new loan agreement to be new loans.

***Current and Delinquent Loans and Finance Receivables***

The Company classifies its loans and finance receivables as either current or delinquent. When a customer does not make a scheduled payment in full as of the due date, the receivable is considered delinquent. For the OnDeck portfolio, there is no accrual of interest income on loans when the customer misses their most recent payment. Excluding the OnDeck portfolio, there is no accrual of interest income on loans when a customer falls more than one payment behind. Loans may be returned to accrual status if the customer rectifies and the loan no longer meets non-accrual criteria. The Company allows for normal payment processing time before considering a loan delinquent but does not provide for any additional grace period.

The Company offers certain forbearance options on its loan products with features such as payment deferrals without the incurrence of additional finance charges or late fees. If a loan is deemed to be current and the customer makes a deferral or payment modification, the loan is still deemed to be current until the next scheduled payment is missed.

For consumer loans and finance receivables, the Company generally charges off a delinquent loan after 65 days past due, or earlier if deemed uncollectible at that point. For small business loans and finance receivables, the Company generally charges off a loan or finance receivable when it is probable that it will be unable to collect all of the remaining principal payments, which is generally after 90 days of delinquency and 30 days of non-activity. Recoveries on loans and finance receivables that were previously charged off are generally recognized when collected or sold.

***Goodwill***

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired in each business combination. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 350, *Intangibles—Goodwill and Other*, the Company tests goodwill and intangible assets with an indefinite life for potential impairment annually as of October 1 and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value below its carrying amount.

The Company first assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative goodwill impairment test. In assessing the qualitative factors, management considers relevant events and circumstances including but not limited to macroeconomic conditions, industry and market environment, overall financial performance of the Company, cash flow from operating activities, market capitalization and stock price. If the Company determines that the quantitative impairment test is required, management uses the income approach to complete its annual goodwill assessment. The income approach uses future cash flows and estimated terminal values for the Company that are discounted using a market participant perspective to determine the fair value, which is then compared to the carrying value to determine if there is impairment. The income approach includes assumptions about revenue growth rates, operating margins and terminal growth rates discounted by an estimated weighted-average cost of capital derived from other publicly-traded companies that are similar but not identical from an operational and economic standpoint.

***Marketing Expenses***

Marketing expenses consist of digital costs, lead purchase costs and offline marketing costs such as television and direct mail advertising. All marketing expenses are expensed as incurred.

***Investments in Unconsolidated Investees***

The Company owns a 20% equity interest in On Deck Capital Australia PTY LTD ("OnDeck Australia"), which is recorded using the equity method of accounting. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the carrying value of the Company's ownership in OnDeck

------

**ENOVA INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES** 

**NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)**

Australia was $0.8 million and $0.1 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2024, the Company's investment in OnDeck Australia had no carrying value.

On February 24, 2021, the Company contributed the platform-as-service business assumed in the On Deck Capital, Inc. acquisition to Linear Financial Technologies Holding LLC ("Linear") in exchange for ownership units in that entity. The Company recorded its interest in Linear under the equity method of accounting and included it in "Other assets" on the consolidated balance sheets. As of March 31, 2024, the carrying value of the Company's investment in Linear was $16.1 million. In the third quarter of 2024, Linear was dissolved, with its sole assets, consisting of preferred shares in a separate company, being distributed to the holders of Linear's ownership units. Concurrently in the third quarter of 2024, the separate company executed a capital raise in which the Company opted not to participate that resulted in the Company's preferred shares having a substantially less preferential position in the separate company's capital structure. Because of their subordinated position, the preferred shares were valued at $0. As such, the Company recorded a loss of $16.6 million during the third quarter of 2024, which included the carrying value of the investment of $16.1 million and the remaining unrealized loss of $0.5 million that had been recorded directly in accumulated other comprehensive income.

Equity method income has been included in "Equity method investment income" in the consolidated income statements.

***Variable Interest Entities***

As part of the Company's overall funding strategy and as part of its efforts to support its liquidity from sources other than traditional capital market sources, the Company has established a securitization program through its various securitization facilities. The Company transfers certain loan receivables to VIEs, which issue notes backed by the underlying loan receivables and are serviced by other wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company. The cash flows from the loans held by the VIEs are used to repay obligations under the notes.

The Company is required to evaluate the VIEs for consolidation. The Company has the ability to direct the activities of the VIEs that most significantly impact the economic performance of the entities as the servicer of the securitized loan receivables. Additionally, the Company has the right to returns related to servicing fee revenue from the VIEs and to receive residual payments, which expose it to potentially significant losses and returns. Accordingly, the Company determined it is the primary beneficiary of the VIEs and is required to consolidate them. The assets and liabilities related to the VIEs are included in the Company's consolidated financial statements and are accounted for as secured borrowings.

<u>ODAS IV 2025-1 Securitization Notes</u>

On March 20, 2025, OnDeck Asset Securitization IV, LLC ("ODAS IV"), a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of the Company, issued $261.4 million in initial principal amount of Series 2025-1 Fixed Rate Asset-Backed Notes (the "ODAS IV 2025-1 Securitization Notes") in a private securitization transaction. The ODAS IV 2025-1 Securitization Notes have a legal final payment date in April 2032 and were issued in four classes with initial principal amounts and fixed interest rates per annum as follows: Class A Notes of $126.8 million at 5.08%, Class B Notes of $57.8 million at 5.52%, Class C Notes of $45.5 million at 6.64% and Class D Notes of $31.2 million at 8.77%. Collateral for the ODAS IV 2025-1 Securitization Notes consists of, among other things, a revolving pool of small business loans originated or purchased by ODK Capital, LLC ("ODK"), which is a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of the Company. ODK is the servicer of the loans securing the ODAS IV 2025-1 Securitization Notes. ODAS IV is the sole obligor of the ODAS IV 2025-1 Securitization Notes, which are not obligations of, or guaranteed by, the Company or ODK. The net proceeds of the ODAS IV 2025-1 Securitization Notes were used to purchase small business loans from ODK that were pledged as collateral for the ODAS IV 2025-1 Securitization Notes and for other general corporate purposes.

**4. Income Taxes**

The Company's effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was 22.4% compared to 26.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease is primarily attributable to higher excess tax benefits on stock compensation due to stock price appreciation, a reduction of interest expense due to the remeasurement of unrecognized tax benefits and additional state attributes generated from legal entity restructuring.

As of June 30, 2025, the balance of unrecognized tax benefits, inclusive of interest and penalties, was $112.0 million, of which $102.0 million is included in "Accounts payable and accrued expenses" on the consolidated balance sheet, with the remaining $10.0 million recorded as a reduction to deferred tax assets. This balance consists of a temporary component of $102.3 million, for which there is an equal and offsetting deferred tax asset, and a permanent component of $9.7 million, which, if recognized, would favorably affect the effective tax rate in the period of recognition. The Company had $193.4 million of unrecognized tax benefits as of June 30, 2024. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had $104.2 million of unrecognized tax benefits, inclusive of interest and penalties, of which $82.5 million was included in "Accounts payable and accrued expenses" on the consolidated balance sheet. The remaining $21.7 million was recorded as a reduction to deferred tax assets. The balance of $104.2 million at December 31, 2024 included a permanent component of $7.2 million. In the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company decreased the balance of the unrecognized tax benefits reserve due to management's evaluation and remeasurement of its settlement position related to the timing of recognition of income and losses related to the Company's loan and finance receivable portfolio. Based on the expiration of the statute of limitations for certain jurisdictions, the Company believes it is reasonably possible that, within the next twelve months, unrecognized tax benefits could decrease by approximately $0.3 million. The Company believes that it has adequately accounted for any material tax uncertainties in its existing reserves for all open tax years.

The Company's U.S. tax returns are subject to examination by federal and state taxing authorities. The statute of limitations related to the Company's consolidated Federal income tax returns is closed for all tax years up to and including 2020. The years open to examination by state, local and foreign government authorities vary by jurisdiction, but the statute of limitation is generally three years from the date the tax return is filed. For jurisdictions that have generated net operating losses, carryovers may be subject to the statute of limitations applicable for the year those carryovers are utilized. In these cases, the period for which the losses may be adjusted will extend to conform with the statute of limitations for the year in which the losses are utilized. In most circumstances, this is expected to increase the length of time that the applicable taxing authority may examine the carryovers by one year or longer, in limited cases.

**5. Earnings Per Share**

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated using the treasury share method, by giving effect to the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common shares were exercised and converted into common shares during the period. Restricted stock units issued under the Company's stock-based employee compensation plans are included in diluted shares upon the granting of the awards even though the vesting of shares will occur over time.

**7. Commitments and Contingencies** 

***Litigation***

On April 23, 2018, the Commonwealth of Virginia, through Attorney General Mark R. Herring, filed a lawsuit in the Circuit Court for the County of Fairfax, Virginia against NC Financial Solutions of Utah, LLC ("NC Utah"), a subsidiary of the Company. The lawsuit

------

**ENOVA INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES** 

**NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)**

alleges violations of the Virginia Consumer Protection Act relating to NC Utah's communications with customers, collections of certain payments, its loan agreements, and the rates it charged to Virginia borrowers. The plaintiff sought to enjoin NC Utah from continuing its then-existing lending practices in Virginia, and still seeks restitution, civil penalties, and costs and expenses in connection with the same. Due to a change in the law, NC Utah no longer lends to Virginia residents and the injunctive remedies sought against NC Utah's lending practices are no longer applicable. Neither the likelihood of an unfavorable decision nor the ultimate liability, if any, with respect to this matter can be determined at this time, and the Company is currently unable to estimate a range of reasonably possible losses, as defined by ASC 450-20-20, *Contingencies–Loss Contingencies–Glossary*, for this litigation. The Company carefully considered applicable Virginia law before NC Utah began lending in Virginia and, as a result, believes that the plaintiff's claims in the complaint are without merit and intends to vigorously defend this lawsuit.

The Company is also involved in certain routine legal proceedings, claims and litigation matters encountered in the ordinary course of its business. Certain of these matters may be covered to an extent by insurance or by indemnification agreements with third parties. The Company has recorded accruals in its consolidated financial statements for those matters in which it is probable that it has incurred a loss and the amount of the loss, or range of loss, can be reasonably estimated. In the opinion of management, the resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

**8. Fair Value Measurements** 

***Recurring Fair Value Measurements*** 

The Company uses a hierarchical framework that prioritizes and ranks the market observability of inputs used in its fair value measurements. Market price observability is affected by a number of factors, including the type of asset or liability and the characteristics specific to the asset or liability being measured. Assets and liabilities with readily available, active, quoted market prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices generally are deemed to have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value. The Company classifies the inputs used to measure fair value into one of three levels as follows:

Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Inputs other than Level 1, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, and model-derived prices whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability measured.

Observable inputs are based on market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs are based on the Company's market assumptions. Unobservable inputs require significant management judgment or estimation. In some cases, the inputs used to measure an asset or liability may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those cases, the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level of input that is significant to the entire measurement. Such determination requires significant management judgment.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, there were no transfers of assets or liabilities in or out of Level 3 fair value measurements. It is the Company's policy to value any transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy based on end of period fair values.

*(1) Consumer and small business loans and finance receivables are included in "Loans and finance receivables at fair value" in the consolidated balance sheets.* 

*(2) The non-qualified savings plan assets are included in "Other receivables and prepaid expenses" in the Company's consolidated balance sheets and have an offsetting liability, which is included in "Accounts payable and accrued expenses" in the Company's consolidated balance sheets.*

*(3) Investment in trading security is included in "Other assets" in the Company's consolidated balance sheets.*

The Company primarily estimates the fair value of its loan and finance receivables portfolio using discounted cash flow models that have been internally developed. The models use inputs, such as estimated losses, prepayments, utilization rates, servicing costs and discount rates, that are unobservable but reflect the Company's best estimates of the assumptions a market participant would use to calculate fair value. Certain unobservable inputs may, in isolation, have either a directionally consistent or opposite impact on the fair value of the financial instrument for a given change in that input. An increase to the net loss rate, prepayment rate, servicing cost, or discount rate would decrease the fair value of the Company's loans and finance receivables. When multiple inputs are used within the valuation techniques for loans, a change in one input in a certain direction may be offset by an opposite change from another input.

The fair value of the nonqualified savings plan assets was deemed Level 1 as they are publicly traded equity securities for which market prices of identical assets are readily observable.

The fair value of the investment in trading security was deemed Level 1 as it is a publicly traded fund with active market pricing that is readily available.

The Company had no liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2025 and 2024 and December 31, 2024.

***Fair Value Measurements on a Non-Recurring Basis***

The Company measures non-financial assets and liabilities such as property and equipment and intangible assets at fair value on a non-recurring basis or when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may be impaired. At June 30, 2025 and 2024 and December 31, 2024, there were no assets or liabilities recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis.

**BUSINESS OVERVIEW** 

We are a leading technology and analytics company focused on providing online financial services. In 2024, we extended approximately $6.1 billion in credit or financing to borrowers and for the six months ended June 30, 2025, we extended approximately $3.5 billion in credit or financing to borrowers. As of June 30, 2025, we offered or arranged loans or draws on lines of credit to consumers in 36 states in the United States and Brazil. We also offered financing to small businesses in 49 states and Washington D.C. in the United States. We use our proprietary technology, analytics and customer service capabilities to quickly evaluate, underwrite and fund loans or provide financing, allowing us to offer consumers and small businesses credit or financing when and how they want it. Our customers include the large and growing number of consumers and small businesses that have bank accounts but use alternative financial services because of their limited access to more traditional credit from banks, credit card companies and other lenders. We were an early entrant into online lending, launching our online business in 2004, and through June 30, 2025, we have completed approximately 67.1 million customer transactions and collected more than 85 terabytes of currently accessible customer behavior data since launch, allowing us to better analyze and underwrite our specific customer base. We have significantly diversified our business over the past several years, having expanded the markets we serve and the financing products we offer. These financing products include installment loans and line of credit accounts.

We believe our customers highly value our products and services as an important component of their personal or business finances because our products are convenient, quick and often less expensive than other available alternatives. We attribute the success of our business to our advanced and innovative technology systems, the proprietary analytical models we use to predict the performance of loans and finance receivables, our sophisticated customer acquisition programs, our dedication to customer service and our talented employees.

We have developed proprietary underwriting systems based on data we have collected over our more than 20 years of experience. These systems employ advanced risk analytics, including machine learning and artificial intelligence, to decide whether to approve financing transactions, to structure the amount and terms of the financings we offer pursuant to jurisdiction-specific regulations and to provide customers with their funds quickly and efficiently. Our systems closely monitor collection and portfolio performance data that we use to continually refine machine learning-enabled analytical models and statistical measures used in making our credit, purchase, marketing and collection decisions. Approximately 90% of models used in our analytical environment are machine learning-enabled.

Our flexible and scalable technology platforms allow us to process and complete customers' transactions quickly and efficiently. In 2024, we processed approximately 3.9 million transactions, and we continue to grow our loan and finance receivable portfolios and increase the number of customers we serve through desktop, tablet and mobile platforms. Our highly customizable technology platforms allow us to efficiently develop and deploy new products to adapt to evolving regulatory requirements and consumer preference, and to enter new markets quickly.

We have been able to consistently acquire new customers and successfully generate repeat business from returning customers when they need financing. We believe our customers are loyal to us because they are satisfied with our products and services. We acquire new customers from a variety of sources, including visits to our own websites, mobile sites or applications, and through direct marketing, affiliate marketing, lead providers and relationships with other lenders. We believe that the online convenience of our products and our 24/7 availability to accept applications with quick approval decisions are important to our customers.

Once a potential customer submits an application, we quickly provide a credit or purchase decision. If a loan or financing is approved, we or our lending partner typically fund the loan or financing the next business day or, in some cases, the same day. During the entire process, from application through payment, we provide access to our well-trained customer service team. All of our operations, from customer acquisition through collections, are structured to build customer satisfaction and loyalty, in the event that a customer has a need for our products in the future. We have developed a series of sophisticated proprietary scoring models to support our various products. We believe that these models are an integral component of our operations and allow us to complete a high volume of customer

------

transactions while actively managing risk and the related credit quality of our loan and finance receivable portfolios. We believe our successful application of these technological innovations differentiates our capabilities relative to competing platforms as evidenced by our history of strong growth and stable credit quality.

**PRODUCTS AND SERVICES** 

Our online financing products and services provide customers with a deposit of funds to their bank account in exchange for a commitment to repay the amount deposited plus fees and/or interest. We originate, arrange, guarantee or purchase installment loans and line of credit accounts to consumers and small businesses. We have one reportable segment that includes all of our online financial services. Our loans and finance receivables generally have regular payments that amortize principal. Interest income is generally recognized on an effective, non-accelerated yield basis over the contractual term of the installment loan or estimated outstanding period of the draw on line of credit accounts.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•***Consumer installment loans.*** Certain subsidiaries (i) directly offer installment loans, (ii) as part of our Bank Programs, as discussed below, purchase or purchase a participating interest in, installment loans or (iii) as part of our CSO program, arrange and guarantee installment loans, as discussed below, to consumers. Certain subsidiaries offer, or arrange through our Bank Programs and CSO program, unsecured consumer installment loan products in 36 states in the United States. Internationally, we also offer or arrange unsecured consumer installment loan products in Brazil. Terms for our consumer installment loan products range between 3 and 60 months with an average contractual term of 39 months. These loans have regular payments that amortize principal. Loan sizes for these products range between $300 and $10,000. The majority of these loans accrue interest daily at a fixed rate for the life of the loan and have no fees. The average annualized yield for these loans was 86% for the year ended December 31, 2024. Loans may be repaid early at any time with no additional prepayment charges.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•***Small business installment loans.*** Certain subsidiaries offer, or arrange through our Bank Programs, small business installment loans in 49 states and in Washington D.C. Terms for these products range between 3 and 24 months with an average contractual term of 14 months. These loans have regular payments that amortize principal. Loan sizes for these products range between $5,000 and $250,000. There is generally a fee paid upon origination, and total interest is typically calculated at a fixed rate for the life of the loan. A portion of the interest is forgivable if prepaid early, although we also offer a full prepayment forgiveness option at a higher interest rate. The average annualized yield for these products was 46% for the year ended December 31, 2024.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•***Consumer line of credit accounts.*** Certain subsidiaries directly offer, or purchase participation interests in receivables through our Bank Programs, new consumer line of credit accounts in 30 states (and continue to service existing line of credit accounts in two additional states) in the United States. Line of credit accounts allow customers to draw on their unsecured line of credit in increments of their choosing up to their credit limit, which ranges between $100 and $7,000. Customers may pay off their account balance in full at any time or make required minimum payments in accordance with the terms of the line of credit account. The repayment period varies depending upon certain factors, which may include outstanding principal and differences in minimum payment calculations by product. Customers are typically charged a fee when funds are drawn and subsequently incur fee- or interest-based charges at a fixed rate, depending upon the product and the state in which the customer resides. The average annualized yield for these products was 159% for the year ended December 31, 2024.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•***Small business line of credit accounts.*** Certain subsidiaries offer, or arrange through our Bank Programs, small business line of credit accounts in 49 states and in Washington D.C. in the United States. Terms for these products range between 12 and 24 months with regular payments that amortize principal. Loan sizes for these products range between $5,000 and $150,000. Interest is calculated at a fixed rate based on the outstanding balance. There is generally no fee paid upon origination with the exception of one of our small business line of credit products, which has an origination fee when allowed by state law. The average annualized yield for these products was 47% for the year ended December 31, 2024.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•***CSO program.*** We currently operate a credit services organization or credit access business ("CSO") program in Texas. Through our CSO program, we provide services related to a third-party lender's installment consumer loan products by acting as a credit services organization or credit access business on behalf of consumers in accordance with applicable state laws. Services offered under our CSO program include credit-related services such as arranging loans with an independent third-party lender and assisting in the preparation of loan applications and loan documents ("CSO loans"). When a consumer executes an agreement with us under our CSO program, we agree, for a fee payable to us by the consumer, to provide certain services, one of which is to guarantee the consumer's obligation to repay the loan received by the consumer from the third-party lender if the consumer fails to do so. For CSO loans, the lender is responsible for providing the criteria by which the consumer's application is underwritten and, if approved, determining the amount of the consumer loan. We, in turn, are responsible for assessing whether or not we will guarantee such loan. The guarantee represents an obligation to purchase the loan, which has terms of up to six months, if it goes into default.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•***Bank programs***. Certain subsidiaries operate programs with certain banks ("Bank Programs") to provide marketing services and loan servicing for certain installment loans and line of credit accounts. The Bank Programs that relate to the consumer portfolio in the United States include near-prime unsecured installment loans and line of credit accounts for which our subsidiaries receive marketing and servicing fees. The bank has the ability to sell, and the participating subsidiaries have the option, but not the

------

requirement, to purchase the loans or a participating interest in receivables the bank originates. We do not guarantee the performance of the loans and line of credit accounts originated by the bank. In conjunction with our Brazilian business, we also have a Bank Program with a separate bank in Brazil whereby the bank has the authority to originate loans and collect a service fee. After origination, the loans are purchased by us. The Bank Program that relates to the small business portfolio is with a separate bank and includes installment loans and line of credit accounts. We receive marketing fees while the bank receives origination fees and certain program fees. The bank has the ability to sell and we have the option, but not the requirement, to purchase the installment loans the bank originates and, in the case of line of credit accounts, extensions under those line of credit accounts. We do not guarantee the performance of the loans or line of credit accounts originated by the bank.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•***Money transfer business.*** Under our Pangea brand, we operate a money transfer platform that allows customers to send money from the United States to Mexico, other Latin American countries and Asia. The customer pays us in U.S. dollars, and we then make local currency available to the intended recipient of the transfer in one of many termination countries. Our revenue model includes a fee per transfer and an exchange rate spread. Our customers can access our proprietary platform via the website, Android app, or iOS (Apple) app.

**OUR MARKETS**

We currently provide our services in the following countries:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•***United States.*** We began our online business in the United States in May 2004. As of June 30, 2025, we provided services in all 50 states and Washington D.C.

**RECENT REGULATORY DEVELOPMENTS**

**Consumer Financial Protection Bureau**

On November 15, 2023, we consented to the issuance of a Consent Order by the CFPB pursuant to which we agreed, without admitting or denying any of the facts or conclusions, to pay a civil money penalty of $15 million. The Consent Order relates to issues, the majority of which were self-disclosed, including payment processing and debiting errors. We remain subject to the restrictions and obligations of the Consent Order, including prohibitions from engaging in certain conduct for a period of seven years from the date of the Consent Order. Any noncompliance with the Consent Order or similar orders or agreements from other regulators could lead to further regulatory penalties and could have a material adverse impact on our business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows and could prohibit or directly or indirectly impair our ability to continue current operations.

In October 2017, the CFPB issued its final rule entitled "Payday, Vehicle Title, and Certain High-Cost Installment Loans" (the "Small Dollar Rule"), which covers certain consumer loans that we offer. The Small Dollar Rule initially required that lenders who make short-term loans and longer-term loans with balloon payments reasonably determine consumers' ability to repay ("ATR") the loans according to their terms before issuing the loans. The Small Dollar Rule also introduced new limitations on repayment processes for those lenders as well as lenders of other longer-term loans with an annual percentage rate greater than 36 percent that include an ACH authorization or similar payment provision. If a consumer has two consecutive failed payment attempts, the lender must obtain the consumer's new and specific authorization to make further withdrawals from the consumer's bank account. For loans covered by the Small Dollar Rule, lenders must provide certain notices to consumers before attempting a first payment withdrawal or an unusual withdrawal and after two consecutive failed withdrawal attempts. On July 7, 2020, the CFPB issued a final rule rescinding the ATR provisions of the Small Dollar Rule along with related provisions, such as the establishment of registered information systems for checking ATR and reporting loan activity. The payment provisions of the Small Dollar Rule remained in place. In April 2018, an action was filed against the CFPB making a constitutional challenge to the Small Dollar Rule. After appeals to the Fifth Circuit and Supreme Court and a stay of the compliance date, on May 16, 2024, the Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of the funding structure of the CFPB and remanded the case back to the Fifth Circuit. On June 19, 2024, the Fifth Circuit declared that the CFPB's funding structure and Small Dollar Rule are constitutional. On July 3, 2024, the CFSA filed a petition for rehearing en banc that was denied by the Court. On November 25, 2024, the Fifth Circuit clarified that the stay of the compliance date of the Small Dollar Rule expires on March 30, 2025. On March 28, 2025, the CFPB issued a press release entitled "CFPB Offers Regulatory Relief for Small Loan Providers" indicating that the CFPB "will not prioritize enforcement or supervision actions with regard to any penalties or fines associated with the Payment Withdrawal provisions and the Payment Disclosure provisions once they become operative on March 30, 2025." The CFPB also indicated that it is

------

contemplating issuing a notice of proposed rulemaking to narrow the scope of the rule. If the CFPB elects to prioritize enforcement and we are not able to execute payment process and customer notification changes effectively because of unexpected complexities, costs or otherwise, we cannot guarantee that the Small Dollar Rule will not have a material adverse impact on our business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

On March 30, 2023, the CFPB issued its final rule to implement Section 1071 of the Dodd-Frank Act. Section 1071 amended the Equal Credit Opportunity Act to require financial institutions to collect and report certain data in connection with credit applications made by small businesses, including women- or minority-owned small businesses, and applies to small business loans that we offer. For loans covered by the small business lending rule, a "covered lender" will be required to collect and report on certain information pursuant to an application for credit. Section 1071 requires covered lenders to collect and report information the financial institution generates and information obtained from the applicant, including the applicant's minority-owned business status, women-owned business status and LGBTQI+-owned status and the applicant's principal owners' ethnicity, race and sex, and expressly prohibits a financial institution from discouraging an applicant from responding to requests for applicant-provided data. On April 26, 2023, the Texas Bankers Association filed an action challenging the rule. The district court entered judgment in favor of the CFPB on the Administrative Procedure Act challenges and the ruling was appealed to the Fifth Circuit. The Fifth Circuit ordered the tolling of the compliance deadlines but only to the plaintiffs and intervenors in the case, including trade associations in which the Company's small business loan business participates. Separately, on April 2, 2025, the House Financial Services Committee approved H.R. 976, which would repeal Section 1071 if passed. On June 18, 2025, the CFPB issued an interim final rule to extend the compliance deadlines by approximately one year. It further indicated its intent to initiate a new Section 1071 rulemaking and anticipates issuing a notice of proposed rulemaking as expeditiously as reasonably possible. Absent further court action, legislative action or action by the CFPB, the Company's small business loan business will need to update its application process to appropriately collect, store and report data required by Section 1071's implementing regulation. The Company will continue to monitor litigation, rulemaking and bills related to the rule.

**European Union Pillar Two Directive**

On December 15, 2022, the European Union ("EU") Member States formally adopted the EU's Pillar Two Directive, which generally provides for a minimum effective tax rate of 15%, as established by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development ("OECD") Pillar Two Framework that was supported by over 130 countries worldwide. The EU effective dates are January 1, 2024, and January 1, 2025, for different aspects of the directive. A significant number of other countries are expected to also implement similar legislation. As of June 30, 2025, among the jurisdictions where the Company operates, only Brazil has enacted legislation adopting the Pillar Two Rules, specifically a Qualified Domestic Minimum Top-up Tax, effective in fiscal 2025. We do not expect the changes brought about by this directive to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

**One Big Beautiful Bill Act**

On July 4, 2025, the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" (the "OBBBA") was enacted into law. The OBBBA's various provisions include, among other things, accelerated tax deductions for qualified property and research expenditures. The legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and others to be implemented through 2027. We are currently assessing the OBBBA's impact on our consolidated financial statements.

**Valuation of Loans and Finance Receivables** 

We carry our loans and finance receivables at fair value with changes in fair value recognized directly in earnings. We estimate the fair value of our loans and finance receivables primarily using internally-developed, discounted cash flow analyses to more accurately predict future payments. We adjust contractual cash flows for estimated losses, prepayments and servicing costs over the estimated duration of the underlying assets and discount the future cash flows using a rate of return that we believe a market participant would require. Model results may be adjusted by management if we do not believe the output reflects the fair value of the portfolio, as defined under GAAP. The models are updated at each measurement date to capture any changes in internal factors such as nature, term, volume, payment trends, remaining time to maturity, and portfolio mix, as well as changes in underwriting or observed trends expected to impact future performance. We have validated model performance by comparing past valuations with actual performance noted after each valuation.

------

In 2024 and the first six months of 2025, views in the marketplace on the economy and its near-term prospects remained mixed with concerns on employment, inflation, tariffs and other macroeconomic trends. In certain situations, management concluded that the probability of future charge-offs or prepayments was different than what we had experienced in the past and, therefore, altered those assumptions in our fair value models. We continue to utilize this approach and have adjusted these assumptions where appropriate. We also evaluate the discount rates used in our models on a quarterly basis and adjust when appropriate to be responsive to changes in the market and representative of what a market participant would use. As of June 30, 2025, we deemed the resulting fair value of our loans and finance receivables to be an appropriate market-based exit price that considers current market conditions.

**NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES** 

In addition to the financial information prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), we provide historical non-GAAP financial information. We present non-GAAP financial information because such measures are used by management in understanding the activities and business metrics of our operations. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of our business that, when viewed with our GAAP results, provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business.

We provide non-GAAP financial information for informational purposes and to enhance understanding of our GAAP consolidated financial statements. Readers should consider the information in addition to, but not instead of or superior to, our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. This non-GAAP financial information may be determined or calculated differently by other companies, limiting the usefulness of those measures for comparative purposes.

***Adjusted Earnings Measures*** 

We provide adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per share, or, collectively, the Adjusted Earnings Measures, which are non-GAAP measures. We believe that the presentation of these measures provides investors with greater transparency and facilitates comparison of operating results across a broad spectrum of companies with varying capital structures, compensation strategies, derivative instruments and amortization methods, which provides a more complete understanding of our financial performance, competitive position and prospects for the future. We utilize, and also believe that investors utilize, the Adjusted Earnings Measures to assess operating performance, recognizing that such measures may highlight trends in our business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying on financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. In addition, we believe that the Adjusted Earnings Measures are useful to management and investors in comparing our financial results during the periods shown without the effect of certain items that are not indicative of our core operating performance or results of operations.

***Adjusted EBITDA*** 

We provide Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP measure that we define as earnings excluding depreciation, amortization, interest, foreign currency transaction gains or losses, taxes, stock-based compensation expense and certain other items, as appropriate, that are not indicative of our core operating performance. We utilize, and also believe that investors utilize, Adjusted EBITDA to analyze operating performance and evaluate our ability to incur and service debt and our capacity for making capital expenditures. We believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful to management and investors in comparing our financial results during the periods shown without the effect of certain non-cash items and certain items that are not indicative of our core operating performance or results of operations.

EBITDA is also useful to investors to help assess our estimated enterprise value. The computation of Adjusted EBITDA, as presented below, may differ from the computation of similarly-titled measures provided by other companies (in thousands):

***Combined Loans and Finance Receivables Measures***

In addition to reporting loans and finance receivables balance information in accordance with GAAP (see Note 2 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report), we have provided metrics on a combined basis. The Combined Loans and Finance Receivables Measures are non-GAAP measures that include both loans and finance receivables we own or have purchased and loans we guarantee, which are either GAAP items or disclosures required by GAAP. See "—Loan and Finance Receivable Balances" and "—Credit Performance of Loans and Finance Receivables" below for reconciliations between Company owned and purchased loans and finance receivables, gross, change in fair value and charge-offs (net of recoveries) calculated in accordance with GAAP to the Combined Loans and Finance Receivables Measures.

We believe these non-GAAP measures provide management and investors with important information needed to evaluate the magnitude of potential receivable losses and the opportunity for revenue performance of the loans and finance receivable portfolio on an aggregate basis. We also believe that the comparison of the aggregate amounts from period to period is more meaningful than comparing only the amounts reflected on our consolidated balance sheet since both revenue and cost of revenue are impacted by the aggregate amount of receivables we own and those we guarantee as reflected in our consolidated financial statements.

**THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2025 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2024**

**Revenue and Net Revenue**

Revenue increased $135.7 million, or 21.6%, to $764.1 million for the current quarter as compared to $628.4 million for the prior year quarter. The increase was driven by a 29.6% increase in revenue from our small business portfolio and a 16.5% increase in revenue from our consumer portfolio as higher levels of originations have led to higher loan balances for both portfolios.

Net revenue for the current quarter was $441.5 million compared to $370.2 million for the prior year quarter. Our consolidated net revenue margin was 57.8% for the current quarter compared to 58.9% for the prior year quarter with stability in both the consumer and small business portfolios. Refer to "—Consumer Loans and Finance Receivables" and "—Small Business Loans and Finance Receivables" below for additional discussion of net revenue for the current quarter.

**Loan and Finance Receivable Balances** 

The fair value of our loan and finance receivable portfolio in our consolidated financial statements was $4,773.3 million and $3,939.2 million as of June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The outstanding principal balance of our loan and finance receivables portfolio was $4,141.1 million and $3,423.7 million as of June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

*(a) GAAP measure. The loans and finance receivables balances guaranteed by us relate to loans originated by a third-party lender through the CSO program that we have not yet purchased and, therefore, are not included in our consolidated financial statements.* 

*(b) Non-GAAP measure. See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures—Combined Loans and Finance Receivables Measures" above.*

At June 30, 2025 and 2024, the ratio of fair value as a percentage of principal was 115.3% and 115.1%, respectively, on company owned loans and finance receivables and 115.4% and 115.1%, respectively, on combined loans and finance receivables. These ratios slightly increased compared to the prior year due to improvement in both the consumer and small business portfolios.

The average amount outstanding per loan and finance receivable is calculated as the total combined loans and finance receivables, gross balance at the end of the period divided by the total number of combined loans and finance receivables outstanding at the end of the period. The following table shows the average amount outstanding per loan and finance receivable by product at June 30, 2025 and 2024:

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **As of June 30,** | **As of June 30,** |

*(b) Includes loans guaranteed by us, which represent loans originated by a third-party lender through the CSO program that we have not yet purchased and, therefore, are not included in our consolidated financial statements.* 

The average amount outstanding per loan and finance receivable increased slightly in the current quarter compared to the prior year quarter for our overall portfolio due to an increase in our small business portfolio, partially offset by a decrease in our consumer portfolio.

**Average Loan and Finance Receivable Origination** 

The average loan and finance receivable origination amount is calculated as the total amount of combined loans and finance receivables originated, renewed and purchased for the period divided by the total number of combined loans and finance receivables originated,

renewed and purchased for the period. The following table shows the average loan and finance receivable origination amount by product for the current quarter compared to the prior year quarter:

*(b) Includes loans guaranteed by us, which represent loans originated by a third-party lender through the CSO program that we have not yet purchased and, therefore, are not included in our consolidated financial statements.* 

*(c) Represents the average amount of each incremental draw on line of credit accounts.*

The average loan and finance receivable origination amount is smaller than the average amount outstanding per loan and finance receivable in the previous section as the former measure includes incremental draws on our line of credit accounts whereas the latter measure includes the entire outstanding receivable on our line of credit accounts.

The average loan and finance receivable origination amount increased to $1,691 during the current quarter from $1,515 during the prior year quarter, due primarily to an increase in the average loan origination amount for our small business loans.

**Credit Performance of Loans and Finance Receivables** 

We monitor the performance of our loans and finance receivables. Internal factors such as portfolio composition (e.g., interest rate, loan term, geography information, customer mix, credit quality) and performance (e.g., delinquency, loss trends, prepayment rates) are reviewed on a regular basis at various levels (e.g., product, vintage). We also weigh the impact of relevant, internal business decisions on the portfolio. External factors such as macroeconomic trends, financial market liquidity expectations, competitive landscape and legal/regulatory requirements are also reviewed on a regular basis.

The payment status of a customer, including the degree of any delinquency, is a significant factor in determining estimated charge-offs in the cash flow models that we use to determine fair value. The following table shows payment status on outstanding principal, interest and fees as of the end of each of the last five quarters (in thousands):

Demand for our consumer loan products and services in the United States has historically been highest in the third and fourth quarters of each year, corresponding to the holiday season, and lowest in the first quarter of each year, corresponding to our customers' receipt of income tax refunds. The ending balance, including principal and accrued fees/interest outstanding, of combined consumer loans and finance receivables at June 30, 2025 increased 17.0% to $1,522.2 million compared to $1,300.7 million at June 30, 2024, due primarily to originations outpacing repayments.

The percentage of loans greater than 30 days delinquent of 8.0% was higher at June 30, 2025 compared to 6.3% at June 30, 2024, and charge-offs (net of recoveries) as a percentage of average combined loan and finance receivable balance increased to 14.5% in the current quarter compared to 12.8% for the prior year quarter. These increases were due primarily to a higher percentage of originations to new customers, which typically default at a higher rate compared to returning customers, and a mix shift reflecting a greater percentage

of line of credit products, which have higher yields and default rates than installment loans, as compared to the prior year quarter. Compared to the prior sequential quarter ending March 31, 2025, the percentage of loans greater than 30 days delinquent and charge-offs (net of recoveries) as a percentage of average combined loan and finance receivable balance both decreased, which is consistent with our normal seasonal pattern.

Revenue related to our consumer loans and finance receivables was $428.3 million for the current quarter compared to $367.6 million for the prior year quarter. The increase in revenue was driven primarily by growth in the overall portfolio, particularly our line of credit products. The net revenue margin related to our consumer loans and finance receivables was 49.7% in the current quarter, which was fairly consistent with the net revenue margin in three of the prior four sequential quarters.

The ratio of fair value as a percentage of principal on consumer loans and finance receivables was 121.6% at June 30, 2025, which is fairly consistent compared to 121.0% at June 30, 2024 and 122.1% at March 31, 2025.

The ending balance, including principal and accrued fees/interest outstanding, of small business loans and finance receivables at June 30, 2025 increased 22.4% to $2,796.5 million compared to $2,284.0 million at June 30, 2024, due primarily to originations outpacing repayments.

------

The percentage of loans greater than 30 days delinquent of 6.6% was lower at June 30, 2025 compared to 8.1% at June 30, 2024 due to improvement in credit performance. Charge-offs (net of recoveries) as a percentage of average loan balance were fairly consistent at 4.7% for the current quarter compared to 4.8% in the prior year quarter.

Revenue related to our small business loans and finance receivables was $326.3 million for the current quarter compared to $251.8 million for the prior year quarter. The increase in revenue was driven primarily by growth in the overall portfolio and, to a lesser extent, slightly higher average yields. The net revenue margin related to our small business loans and finance receivables was 67.8% for the current quarter, which is fairly consistent with the prior four sequential quarters, which had an average net revenue margin of 66.0%.

The ratio of fair value as a percentage of principal on small business loans and finance receivables was 112.3% at June 30, 2025 compared to 112.0% at June 30, 2024 and 112.0% at March 31, 2025. The slight increase from June 30, 2024 was due primarily to improved credit performance and slightly higher average yields.

**Total Operating Expenses** 

Total operating expenses increased $32.3 million, or 14.3%, to $257.4 million in the current quarter compared to $225.1 million in the prior year quarter.

Marketing expense increased to $142.8 million in the current quarter compared to $120.8 million in the prior year quarter due primarily to growth in the overall business with higher commissionable originations in our small business portfolio and higher online advertising costs intended to capture increasing market demand for both our consumer and small business loan products, partially offset by lower spend in certain channels and media as we optimize marketing efficiency.

Operations and technology expense increased to $63.7 million in the current quarter compared to $54.9 million in the prior year quarter, due primarily to higher variable costs, particularly personnel costs, other selling expenses and bank charges as a result of increases in originations and the size of the loan portfolio. As a percentage of revenue, operations and technology expense decreased to 8.3% in the current year quarter from 8.7% in the prior year quarter as increased originations and revenues outpaced fixed costs.

General and administrative expense increased to $40.5 million in the current quarter compared to $39.7 million in the prior year quarter, due largely to higher personnel costs. As a percentage of revenue, general and administrative expense decreased to 5.3% in the current year quarter from 6.3% in the prior year quarter, as increased originations and revenues outpaced fixed costs.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased $0.7 million or 6.6% compared to the prior year quarter driven primarily by general growth in the business and additional internally-developed software placed into service.

**Nonoperating Items** 

Interest expense, net increased $11.8 million, or 16.7%, to $82.8 million in the current quarter compared to $71.0 million in the prior year quarter. The increase was due primarily to an increase in the average amount of debt outstanding, which increased $738.4 million to $3,820.0 million during the current quarter from $3,081.6 million during the prior year quarter, partially offset by a decrease in the weighted average interest rate on our outstanding debt to 8.76% during the current quarter from 9.33% during the prior year quarter resulting primarily from year-over-year decreases in benchmark rates.

**Provision for Income Taxes**

The effective tax rate of 24.6% in the current quarter was lower than the 26.7% rate recorded in the prior year quarter due primarily to a reduction of interest expense due to the remeasurement of unrecognized tax benefits and additional state tax attributes due to legal entity restructuring, partially offset by an unfavorable state rate change in the state of California.

**Net Income** 

Net income increased $22.2 million, or 41.2%, to $76.1 million during the current quarter compared to $53.9 million during the prior year quarter. The increase was due primarily to an increase in income from operations due to higher net revenue and lower operating expenses as a percentage of revenue, partially offset by higher interest expense, which was the result of an increase in the average amount of debt outstanding.

**SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2025 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2024**

**Revenue and Net Revenue**

Revenue increased $271.3 million, or 21.9%, to $1,509.6 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2025, or current six-month period, as compared to $1,238.3 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, or prior year six-month period. The increase was driven by a 29.2% increase in revenue from our small business portfolio and a 17.3% increase in revenue from our consumer portfolio as higher levels of originations have led to higher loan balances for both portfolios.

Net revenue for the current six-month period was $867.6 million compared to $716.0 million for the prior year six-month period. Our consolidated net revenue margin was 57.5% for the current six-month period, which is fairly consistent with 57.8% for the prior year six-month period.

**Average Loan and Finance Receivable Origination** 

The average loan and finance receivable origination amount is calculated as the total amount of combined loans and finance receivables originated, renewed and purchased for the period divided by the total number of combined loans and finance receivables originated, renewed and purchased for the period. The following table shows the average loan and finance receivable origination amount by product for the current six-month period compared to the prior year six-month period:

*(a) The disclosure regarding the average loan origination amount is statistical data that is not included in our consolidated financial statements.* 

*(b) Includes loans guaranteed by us, which represent loans originated by third-party lenders through the CSO program that we have not yet purchased and, therefore, are not included in our consolidated financial statements.* 

*(c) Represents the average amount of each incremental draw on line of credit accounts.* 

The average loan and finance receivable origination amount increased to $1,706 from $1,590 during the current six-month period compared to the prior year six-month period, due primarily to an increase in the average loan origination amount for our small business loans.

**Total Operating Expenses** 

Total operating expenses increased $71.4 million, or 16.2%, to $511.6 million in the current six-month period, compared to $440.2 million in the prior year six-month period.

Marketing expense increased to $282.1 million in the current six-month period compared to $231.3 million in the prior year six-month period. The increase was due primarily to growth in the overall business with higher commissionable originations in our small business portfolio and higher online advertising costs intended to capture increasing market demand for both our consumer and small business loan products.

Operations and technology expense increased to $126.1 million in the current six-month period compared to $109.3 million in the prior year six-month period, due primarily to higher variable costs, particularly personnel and, to a lesser extent, collection costs, bank charges, other selling expenses and underwriting costs, due to the increase in originations and the size of the loan portfolio. As a percentage of revenue, operations and technology expense decreased to 8.4% in the current six-month period from 8.8% in the prior year six-month period, as increased originations and revenues outpaced fixed costs.

General and administrative expense increased $3.4 million, or 4.3%, to $83.0 million in the current six-month period compared to $79.6 million in the prior year six-month period, due primarily to higher personnel costs, partially offset by lower legal and consulting costs. As a percentage of revenue, general and administrative expense decreased to 5.5% in the current six-month period from 6.4% in the prior year six-month period, as increased originations and revenues outpaced fixed costs.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased $0.4 million or 2.2% compared to the prior year six-month period driven primarily by general growth in the business and additional internal-use software placed in service.

**Nonoperating Items**

Interest expense, net increased $26.8 million, or 19.6%, to $163.3 million in the current six-month period compared to $136.5 million in the prior year six-month period. The increase was due primarily to an increase of $749.7 million in the average amount of debt outstanding to $3,750.4 million during the current six-month period from $3,000.7 million during the prior year six-month period, partially offset by a decrease in the weighted average interest rate on our outstanding debt to 8.84% during the current six-month period from 9.26% during the prior year six-month period resulting primarily from year-over-year decreases in benchmark rates.

------

**Provision for Income Taxes**

The effective tax rate of 22.4% in the current six-month period was lower compared to the effective tax rate of 26.0% in the prior year six-month period. The decrease is primarily attributable to higher excess tax benefits on stock compensation due to stock price appreciation, a reduction of interest expense due to the remeasurement of unrecognized tax benefits and additional state attributes generated from legal entity restructuring.

**Net Income** 

Net income increased $46.8 million, or 45.7%, to $149.1 million during the current six-month period compared to $102.3 million during the prior year six-month period. The increase was due primarily to an increase in income from operations due primarily to overall growth in the business driving an increase in net revenue and lower operating expenses as a percentage of revenue, partially offset by higher interest expense as a result of an increase in the average amount of debt outstanding.

**LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES** 

**Capital Funding Strategy** 

We seek to maintain a stable and flexible balance sheet to ensure that liquidity and funding are available to meet our business obligations. As of June 30, 2025, we had cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash of $379.4 million, of which $323.9 million was restricted, compared to $322.7 million, of which $248.8 million was restricted, as of December 31, 2024. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we issued $163.9 million and $261.4 million of asset-backed notes to fund our growth in our consumer and small business loan portfolios, respectively. As of June 30, 2025, we had funding capacity of $712.0 million. Based on numerous stressed-case modeling scenarios, we believe we have sufficient liquidity to run our operations for the foreseeable future. Further, we have no recourse debt obligations scheduled to mature until June 2026. As part of our capital and liquidity management, we may from time to time acquire our outstanding debt securities, including through redemptions, tender offers, open market purchases, negotiated transactions or otherwise, in accordance with applicable securities laws and in compliance with the indentures governing our outstanding debt securities, upon such terms and at such prices as we may determine.

Historically, we have generated significant cash flow through normal operating activities for funding both long-term and short-term needs. Our near-term liquidity is managed to ensure that adequate resources are available to fund our seasonal working capital growth, which is driven by demand for our loan and financing products. On December 6, 2023, we issued and sold $400.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 11.25% Senior Notes due 2028 and used the net proceeds, in part, to retire existing indebtedness, including the remaining principal amount outstanding under our 8.50% senior notes due 2024. On August 12, 2024, we issued and sold $500.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 9.125% senior notes due 2029 and used the net proceeds, in part, to retire existing indebtedness, including the remaining principal amount outstanding under our 8.50% senior notes due 2025 (the "2025 Senior Notes").

On June 23, 2022, we entered into an amendment and restatement of our existing secured revolving credit agreement (as amended, the "Credit Agreement") that, among other changes, increased the borrowing capacity to $440.0 million, with a $20.0 million letter of credit sublimit and $10.0 million swingline loan sublimit. On October 19, 2023, we amended the Credit Agreement to, among other changes, increase the total commitment amount from $440.0 million to $515.0 million. On September 11, 2024, we further amended the Credit Agreement to, among other changes, increase the total commitment amount from $515.0 million to $665.0 million. The Credit Agreement bears interest, at our option, at the base rate plus 0.75% or the Secured Overnight Financing Rate plus 3.50%. In addition to customary fees for a credit facility of this size and type, the Credit Agreement provides for payment of a commitment fee calculated with respect to the unused portion of the commitment, and ranges from 0.15% per annum to 0.50% per annum depending on usage. The Credit Agreement contains certain prepayment penalties if it is terminated on or before the first and second anniversary dates, subject to certain exceptions. The Credit Agreement matures on June 30, 2026. As of July 23, 2025, our available borrowings under the Credit Agreement were $204.6 million. We also utilize several loan securitization facilities and asset-backed notes to fund our growth, primarily in our near-prime consumer loan and small business loan portfolios. As of July 23, 2025, we had funding capacity of $639.5 million. We expect that our operating needs, including satisfying our obligations under our debt agreements and funding our working capital growth, will be satisfied by a combination of cash flows from operations, borrowings under the Credit Agreement, or any refinancing, replacement thereof or increase in borrowings thereunder, and securitization or sale of loans and finance receivables under our consumer and small business loan securitization facilities.

As of June 30, 2025, we were in compliance with all financial ratios and covenants set forth in our debt agreements. Unexpected changes in our financial condition or other unforeseen factors may result in our inability to obtain third-party financing or could increase our borrowing costs in the future. To the extent we experience short-term or long-term funding disruptions, we have the ability to adjust our volume of lending and financing to consumers and small businesses that would reduce cash outflow requirements while increasing cash inflows through repayments. Additional alternatives may include the securitization or sale of assets, increased borrowings under the Credit Agreement, or any refinancing or replacement thereof, and reductions in capital spending, which could be expected to generate additional liquidity.

------

**Capital**

Total stockholders' equity was $1,228.7 million at June 30, 2025 compared to $1,196.9 million at December 31, 2024. The increase of stockholders' equity was driven primarily by net income for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and, to a lesser extent, stock-based compensation expense, partially offset by repurchases of our outstanding common stock, which is discussed in more detail below. Our book value per share outstanding increased to $49.01 at June 30, 2025 from $46.38 at December 31, 2024, which was primarily driven by net income, partially offset by share repurchases.

On August 12, 2024, we announced the Board of Directors authorized a new share repurchase program totaling $300.0 million through December 31, 2025 (the "August 2024 Authorization"), which replaced the prior share repurchase authorization. The Company had repurchased $255.9 million of common stock under the prior share repurchase authorization before it was terminated. Repurchases under our repurchase programs are made in accordance with applicable securities laws from time to time in the open market, through privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. The share repurchase programs do not obligate us to purchase any shares of our common stock. The August 2024 Authorization may be terminated, increased or decreased by the Board of Directors in its discretion at any time. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we had $117.0 million in repurchases of common stock under our share repurchase program.

**Cash**

Our cash and cash equivalents are held primarily for working capital purposes and are used to fund a portion of our lending activities. From time to time, we use excess cash and cash equivalents to fund our lending activities. We do not enter into investments for trading or speculative purposes. Our policy is to invest cash in excess of our immediate working capital requirements in short-term investments, deposit accounts or other arrangements designed to preserve the principal balance and maintain adequate liquidity. Our excess cash may be invested primarily in overnight sweep accounts, money market instruments or similar arrangements that provide competitive returns consistent with our polices and market conditions.

Our restricted cash typically consists of funds held in accounts as reserves on certain debt facilities and as collateral for issuing bank partner transactions. We have no ability to draw on such funds as long as they remain restricted under the applicable arrangements but have the ability to use these funds to finance loan originations, subject to meeting borrowing base requirements. Our policy is to invest restricted cash held in debt facility related accounts, to the extent permitted by such debt facility, in investments designed to preserve the principal balance and provide liquidity. Accordingly, such cash is invested primarily in money market instruments that offer daily purchase and redemption and provide competitive returns consistent with our policies and market conditions.

***Cash Flows from Operating Activities***

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $129.0 million, or 18.2%, to $838.5 million in the current six-month period from $709.5 million for the prior year six-month period. The increase was driven primarily by additional interest and fee income from growth in the loan portfolio, partially offset by higher marketing expenses and additional interest expense on outstanding debt to fund growth in the loan portfolio.

We believe cash flows from operations and available cash balances and borrowings under our securitization facilities and Credit Agreement, which may include increased borrowings under our Credit Agreement, any refinancing or replacement thereof, and additional securitization of consumer and small business loans, will be sufficient to fund our future operating liquidity needs, including to fund our working capital growth.

***Cash Flows from Investing Activities*** 

Net cash flows used in investing activities was $1,037.8 million for the current six-month period compared to $850.0 million for the prior year six-month period. This change was due primarily to loan originations outpacing repayments by a wider margin in the current six-month period compared to the prior year six-month period.

***Cash Flows from Financing Activities***

Net cash provided by financing activities for the current six-month period was driven primarily by $372.9 million in net borrowings under our securitization facilities and $28.0 million in net borrowings under our revolving line of credit, partially offset by $140.9 million in share repurchases. Cash flows provided by financing activities for the prior year six-month period were driven primarily by $357.9 million in net borrowings under our securitization facilities and $63.0 million in net borrowings under our revolving line of credit, partially offset by $214.7 million in share repurchases and $168.7 million used to repay the 2025 Senior Notes.

This INDENTURE, dated as of May 30, 2025 (or otherwise modified from time to time, this "<u>Indenture</u>"), by and between NetCredit Combined Receivables A, LLC (the "<u>Issuer</u>"), having its principal office at 175 W Jackson Blvd, Suite 600, Chicago, Illinois 60604, and Citibank, N.A., in its capacity as the Indenture Trustee, as the initial Securities Intermediary, as Note Registrar and as Paying Agent.

**<u>W I T N E S S E T H:</u>**

WHEREAS, the Issuer duly authorized the execution and delivery of this Indenture to provide for the issuance of its Notes; and

WHEREAS, the Issuer agrees that everything necessary to make this Indenture a valid and legally binding agreement of the Issuer, in accordance with its terms, has been done.

NOW, THEREFORE, to set forth and establish the terms and conditions upon which the Notes are to be authenticated, issued and delivered, and in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements herein contained, the purchase of Notes by the Holders thereof and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, for the equal and proportionate benefit of all Holders of the Notes, as the case may be, the parties hereto intending to be legally bound hereby agree as follows:

**GRANTING CLAUSE**

The Issuer hereby grants to the Indenture Trustee, for the benefit and security of the Noteholders and the Indenture Trustee, a first priority security interest in all of its right, title and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in, to and under the Issuer Estate and all accounts, certificates of deposit, chattel paper, deposit accounts, documents, general intangibles, goods, instruments, investment property (including securities accounts and financial assets credited thereto), letter-of-credit rights, money and supporting obligations, including (a) all ownership interests in the Receivables, (b) all monies received with respect to the Receivables, (c) any and all documents that the Issuer (or its designee) keeps on file relating to the Receivables or the related Obligors, (d) all rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims of the Issuer under or with respect to the Transaction Documents (whether arising pursuant to the terms of any such agreement or otherwise available to the Issuer at law or in equity), including the rights of the Issuer to enforce the Transaction Documents, and to give or withhold any and all consents, requests, notices, directions, approvals, extensions or waivers under or with respect to any such agreement, (e) the Collection Account, including all amounts and property from time to time held therein or credited thereto, (f) the Reserve Account, including all amounts and property from time to time held therein or credited thereto, (g) the Pre-Funding Account, including all amounts and property from time to time held therein or credited thereto, (h) all present and future claims, demands, causes and choses in action in respect of action in respect of any or all of the foregoing, (i) all payments on or under and all proceeds of every kind and nature whatsoever in respect of any or all of the foregoing, including all cash and non-cash proceeds, and other property consisting of, arising from or relating to all or any part of any of the foregoing and (j) all other assets owned or acquired by the Issuer.

------

The property described in the preceding sentence is collectively referred to as the "<u>Collateral</u>." The Security Interest in the Collateral is granted to secure the Notes (and the related obligations under this Indenture), equally and ratably without prejudice, priority or distinction between any Note by reason of difference in time of issuance or otherwise, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Indenture or in any Note issued pursuant hereto, and to secure (i) the payment of all amounts due on such Notes in accordance with their terms, (ii) the payment of all other sums payable by the Issuer under this Indenture or the Notes and (iii) compliance by the Issuer with the provisions of this Indenture or the Notes. This Indenture, as it may be supplemented, is a security agreement within the meaning of the UCC.

The Indenture Trustee acknowledges the grant of such Security Interest, and accepts the trusts hereunder in accordance with the provisions hereof and agrees to perform the duties herein such that the interests of the Noteholders may be adequately and effectively protected.

**LIMITED RECOURSE**

The obligation of the Issuer to make payments of principal, interest and other amounts on the Notes is limited in recourse as set forth in <u>Section 7.10</u>.

# **Article I <br>DEFINITIONS AND OTHER PROVISIONS OF GENERAL APPLICATION** 

## Section 1.01 <u>Definitions</u>. Whenever used in this Indenture and unless the context requires a different meaning, capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in Part I of Appendix A. The rules of construction set forth in Part II of such Appendix A shall be applicable to this Indenture.

## Section 1.02 <u>Compliance Certificates and Opinions</u>. Upon any application or request by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee to take any action under any provision of this Indenture, the Issuer shall furnish to the Indenture Trustee (i) an Officer's Certificate executed by the Transferor or the Issuer, stating that all conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Indenture relating to the proposed action have been complied with or waived and (ii) an Opinion of Counsel stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, all such conditions precedent, if any, have been complied with or waived, except that in the case of any such application or request as to which the furnishing of such documents is specifically required by any provision of this Indenture relating to such particular application or request, no additional certificate or opinion need be furnished.
It will not be necessary to deliver the Officer's Certificate and Opinion of Counsel otherwise required pursuant to such preceding paragraph at or before the time of authentication and delivery of any Note issued hereunder. The Indenture Trustee may rely, as to authorization by the Issuer of any Notes, the form and terms thereof and the legality, validity, binding effect and enforceability thereof, upon the delivery of the documents required pursuant to <u>Sections 4.10</u>, in connection with the authentication and delivery of any Note issued hereunder.

Every certificate or opinion with respect to compliance with a condition or covenant provided for in this Indenture (except for the statement required by <u>Section 11.07</u>) will include:

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) a statement that each individual signing such certificate or opinion has read such covenant or condition and the definitions relating thereto;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) a brief statement as to the nature and scope of the examination or investigation upon which the statements or opinions contained in such certificate or opinion are based;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) a statement that such individual has made such examination or investigation as is reasonably necessary to express an informed opinion as to whether or not such covenant or condition has been complied with; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) a statement as to whether, in the opinion of each such individual, such condition or covenant has been complied with.

## Section 1.03 <u>Form of Documents Delivered to Indenture Trustee</u>. In any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an opinion of, one or more specified Persons, one such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more other such Persons as to the other matters, and any such Person may certify or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents.
Any certificate or opinion of the Issuer may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, counsel, unless the Issuer knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations are erroneous. Any such certificate or opinion of, or representation by, counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, the Issuer stating that the information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the Issuer, unless such counsel knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations 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.

## Section 1.04 <u>Acts of Noteholders</u>. (a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action (collectively, an " <u>Action</u> ") 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 an agent duly appointed in writing. Except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such Action will become effective when such instrument or instruments or record are delivered to the Indenture Trustee, and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Issuer. Such instrument or instruments and any such record (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, will be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to <u>Section 8.01</u>) conclusive in favor of the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer, if made in the manner provided in this <u>Section 1.04</u>.
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness to such execution or by the certificate of any

------

notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Where such execution is by an officer of a corporation or limited liability company or a member of a partnership, on behalf of such corporation or limited liability company or partnership, such certificate or affidavit will also constitute sufficient proof of his authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the person executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner which the Indenture Trustee deems sufficient.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The ownership of Notes will be proved solely by the Note Register, and the beneficial ownership of any interest in Global Notes will be proved solely by the Book Entry System.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) The fact and date of execution of any such instrument or writing, the authority of the Person executing the same and the principal amount may also be proved in any other manner which the Indenture Trustee deems sufficient; and the Indenture Trustee may in any instance require further proof with respect to any of the matters referred to in this <u>Section 1.04</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) If the Issuer will solicit from the Holders any Action, the Issuer may, at its option, by an Officer's Certificate, fix in advance a record date for the determination of Holders entitled to give such Action, but the Issuer will have no obligation to do so. If the Issuer does not so fix a record date, such record date will be the later of 30 days before the first solicitation of such Action or the date of the most recent list of Noteholders furnished to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to <u>Section 9.01</u> before such solicitation. Such Action may be given before or after the record date, but only the Holders of record at the close of business on the record date will be deemed to be Holders for the purposes of determining whether Holders of the requisite proportion of Notes Outstanding have authorized or agreed or consented to such Action, and for that purpose the Notes Outstanding will be computed as of the record date; <u>provided</u>, that no such authorization, agreement or consent by the Holders on the record date will be deemed effective unless it will become effective pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture not later than six months after the record date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) Any Action by the Holder of any Note will bind the Holder of every Note issued upon the transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, in respect of anything done 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) Without limiting the foregoing, a Holder entitled hereunder to take any Action hereunder with regard to any particular Note may do so with regard to all or any part of the principal amount of such Note or by one or more duly appointed agents each of which may do so pursuant to such appointment with regard to all or any part of such principal amount. Any notice given or Action taken by a Holder or its agents with regard to different parts of such principal amount pursuant to this paragraph shall have the same effect as if given or taken by separate Holders of each such different part.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, unless otherwise specified pursuant to <u>Section 4.01</u>, a Holder, including a Depository that is the Holder of a Global Note, may make, give or take, by a proxy or proxies duly appointed in writing, any Action provided in this Indenture to be made, given or taken by Holders, and a Depository that is the Holder of a Global Note may provide its proxy or proxies to the beneficial owners of interests in or security

------

entitlements to any such Global Note through such Depository's standing instructions and customary practices.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) The Issuer may fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Persons who are beneficial owners of interests in or security entitlements to any Global Note held by a Depository entitled under the procedures of such Depository to make, give or take, by a proxy or proxies duly appointed in writing, any Action provided in this Indenture to be made, given or taken by Holders. If such a record date is fixed, the Holders on such record date or their duly appointed proxy or proxies, and only such Persons, shall be entitled to make, give or take such Action, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date. No such Action shall be valid or effective if made, given or taken more than 90 days after such record date.

## Section 1.05 <u>Notices, etc. to Indenture Trustee and Issuer</u>. Any Action of Noteholders or other document provided or permitted by this Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished to, or filed with, (i) the Indenture Trustee by any Noteholder or by the Issuer will be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid or sent via electronic transmission to the Indenture Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office, (ii) or the Issuer by the Indenture Trustee or by any Noteholder will be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid or sent via electronic transmission, to the Issuer addressed to it at the address of its principal office specified in the first paragraph of this Indenture or at any other address previously furnished in writing to the Indenture Trustee by the Issuer.

## Section 1.06 <u>Notices to Noteholders, Waiver</u>. Where this Indenture, or any Registered Note provides for notice to Noteholders of any event, such notice will be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein or in such Registered Note expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, sent by facsimile, sent by electronic transmission or personally delivered to each Holder of a Registered Note affected by such event, at such Noteholder's address as it appears in 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 Registered Noteholders is given by mail, facsimile, electronic transmission or delivery neither the failure to mail, send by facsimile, send by electronic transmission or deliver such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Noteholders will affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Noteholders and any notice that is mailed, sent by facsimile, sent by electronic transmission or delivered in the manner herein provided shall conclusively have been presumed to have been duly given.
Where this Indenture or any Registered Note provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver will be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Noteholders will be filed with the Indenture Trustee, but such filing will not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.

In case, by reason of the suspension of regular mail service as a result of a strike, work stoppage or otherwise, it will be impractical to mail notice of any event to any Holder of a Registered Note when such notice is required to be given pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, then any method of notification as will be satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer will be deemed to be a sufficient giving of such notice.

------

## Section 1.07 <u>Effect of Headings and **Table of Contents**</u>. The Article and Section headings herein and the **Table of Contents** are for purposes of reference only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of any provision hereof.

## Section 1.08 <u>Successors and Assigns</u>. All covenants and agreements in this Indenture by the Issuer will bind its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not. All covenants and agreements of the Indenture Trustee in this Indenture shall bind its successors, co-trustees and agents of the Indenture Trustee, whether so expressed or not.

## Section 1.09 <u>Severability of Provisions</u>. If any one or more of the covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Indenture or the Notes shall for any reason whatsoever be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable then such covenants, agreements, provisions, or terms shall be deemed severable from the remaining covenants, agreements, provisions, and terms of this Indenture or the Notes and shall in no way affect the validity, legality or enforceability of such remaining covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Indenture or the Notes.

## Section 1.10 <u>Benefits of Indenture</u>. Nothing in this Indenture or in any Notes, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and their successors hereunder, and to the extent expressly provided herein, any Authenticating Agent or Paying Agent, the Note Registrar, any other party secured hereunder and any other Person with an ownership interest in any part of the Issuer Estate and the Holders of Notes (or such of them as may be affected thereby), any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture.

## Section 1.11 <u>Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial</u>.
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, INCLUDING SECTION 5-1401 AND SECTION 5-1402 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW, 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Each party hereto hereby consents and agrees that the State or federal courts located in the Borough of Manhattan in New York City shall have exclusive jurisdiction to hear and determine any claims or disputes between them pertaining to this Indenture or to any matter arising out of or relating to this Indenture; <u>provided</u>, that each party hereto acknowledges that any appeals from those courts may have to be heard by a court located outside of the Borough of Manhattan in New York City; <u>provided</u>, <u>further</u>, that nothing in this Indenture shall be deemed or operate to preclude the Indenture Trustee from bringing suit or taking other legal action in any other jurisdiction to realize on the Receivables or any security for the obligations of the Issuer arising hereunder or to enforce a judgment or other court order in favor of the Indenture Trustee. Each party hereto submits and consents in advance to such jurisdiction in any action or suit commenced in any such court, and each party hereto hereby waives any objection that such party may have based upon lack of personal jurisdiction, improper venue or forum non conveniens and hereby consents to the granting of such legal or equitable relief as is deemed appropriate by such court. Each party hereto hereby waives personal service of the summons, complaint and other process issued in any such action or suit and agrees that service of such summons, complaint, and

------

other process may be made by registered or certified mail addressed to such party at its address, and that service so made shall be deemed completed upon the earlier of such party's actual receipt thereof or three (3) days after deposit in the United States mail, proper postage prepaid. Nothing in this <u>Section 1.11</u> shall affect the right of any party hereto to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Because disputes arising in connection with complex financial transactions are most quickly and economically resolved by an experienced and expert person and the parties wish applicable State and federal laws to apply, the parties desire that their disputes be resolved by a judge applying such applicable laws. **THEREFORE, THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, ARISING OUT OF, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, RELATED TO, OR INCIDENTAL TO THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED AMONG THEM IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.**

## Section 1.12 <u>Counterparts</u>. This Indenture may be executed in two (2) or more counterparts (and by different parties on separate counterparts), each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

## Section 1.13 <u>Legal Holidays</u>. In any case where the date on which any payment is due shall not be a Business Day, then (notwithstanding any other provision of the Notes or this Indenture) payment need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the date on which nominally due, and no interest shall accrue for the period from and after any such nominal date.

## Section 2.01 <u>Recording, Etc.</u> 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Issuer intends the Security Interest granted pursuant to this Indenture in favor of the Indenture Trustee to be prior to all other liens in respect of the Collateral.

To the extent that such of the Collateral as constitutes a deposit account or a securities account is maintained with Citibank, Citibank hereby makes the agreements required under the UCC in order for such deposit account or securities account to be controlled by Citibank. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, other than in connection with the exercise of its remedies under Article VII, the Indenture Trustee shall not hold any part of the Collateral through an agent or nominee except as expressly permitted by this <u>Section 2.01(b)</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) enforce the Receivables and each other instrument or agreement designated for inclusion in the Collateral;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) preserve and defend title to the Collateral and the rights of the Indenture Trustee in the Collateral against the claims of all persons and parties; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vi) pay all taxes or assessments levied or assessed upon the Collateral when due.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) The Issuer will from time to time promptly pay and discharge all UCC recording and filing fees, charges and taxes relating to this Indenture, any amendments hereto and any other instruments of further assurance.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) Without limiting the generality of <u>Section 2.01(b)</u> or <u>(c)</u>:

## Section 2.04 <u>Powers Exercisable by Receiver or Indenture Trustee</u>. In case the Collateral shall be in the possession of a receiver or trustee, lawfully appointed, the powers conferred in this <u>Article II</u> upon the Issuer or any other obligor, as applicable, with respect to the release, sale or other disposition of such property may be exercised by such receiver or trustee, and an instrument signed by such receiver or trustee shall be deemed the equivalent of any similar instrument of the Issuer or any other obligor, as applicable, or of any officer or officers thereof required by the provisions of this <u>Article II</u>.

## Section 2.05 <u>Determinations Relating to Collateral</u>. In the event (i) the Indenture Trustee shall receive any request from the Issuer or any other obligor for consent or approval with respect to any matter relating to any Collateral or the Issuer's or any other obligor's obligations with respect thereto or (ii) there shall be due to or from the Indenture Trustee under the provisions hereof any performance or the delivery of any instrument or (iii) the Indenture Trustee shall have actual knowledge of any nonperformance by the Issuer or any other obligor of any covenant or any breach of any representation or warranty of the Issuer or any other obligor set forth in this Indenture or any other Transaction Document, then, in each such event, the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled but not obligated, at the expense of the Issuer, to hire experts, consultants, agents and attorneys to advise the Indenture Trustee on the manner in which the Indenture Trustee should respond to such request or render any requested performance or response to such nonperformance or breach (the expenses of which will be reimbursed to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to <u>Section 8.07</u>).

No party relying upon an instrument executed by the Indenture Trustee as provided in this <u>Article II</u> will be bound to ascertain the Indenture Trustee's authority, inquire into the satisfaction of any conditions precedent or see to the application of any funds.

Counsel rendering any such opinion may rely, without independent investigation, on the accuracy and validity of any certificate, including any Officer's Certificates, or other instrument delivered to the Indenture Trustee in connection with any such action, unless such counsel knew or in the exercise of reasonable care should have known, any such certificate or other instrument, or any factual matter asserted therein, is erroneous.

## Section 2.07 <u>Opinions as to Collateral</u>. On the Closing Date, the Issuer shall furnish to the Indenture Trustee an Opinion of Counsel substantively to the effect that, in the opinion of such counsel, the applicable UCC financing statement is in sufficient form for filing in the applicable filing office, and the security interest of the Indenture Trustee will be perfected in the Issuer's rights in that portion of the Collateral in which a security interest can be perfected under Section 9 of the applicable UCC by the filing of such UCC financing statement in such filing office upon the later of the attachment of the security interest and the filing of such UCC financing statement identifying the Issuer as debtor in such filing office.

## Section 2.08 <u>Certain Commercial Law Representations and Warranties</u>. The Issuer hereby makes the following representations and warranties on which the Indenture Trustee and each of the Noteholders shall be entitled to rely in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Indenture. Such representations and warranties shall survive until the termination of this Indenture. Such representations and warranties speak of the date that a security interest in the Collateral is granted to the Indenture Trustee and shall not be waived by any of the parties to this Indenture.
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) This Indenture creates a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the applicable UCC) in favor of the Indenture Trustee, for the benefit of the Noteholders, in the related Collateral, which security interest is perfected and prior to all other Liens, and is enforceable as such against creditors of and purchasers from the Issuer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Each of the existing Receivables constitutes a "payment intangible."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) At the time of its grant of any security interest in the related Collateral pursuant to this Indenture, the Issuer owned and had good and marketable title to such Collateral free and clear of any lien, claim or encumbrance of any Person (other than the security interest granted to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Indenture).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) The Issuer has caused or will have caused no later than three (3) Business Days after the Closing Date the filing of all appropriate financing statements in the proper filing

------

office in the appropriate jurisdictions under applicable law in order to perfect the security interest in the related Collateral granted to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Indenture.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) Other than the security interest granted to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Indenture, the Issuer has not pledged, assigned, sold, granted a security interest in, or otherwise conveyed, the related Collateral. No effective financing statement has been filed against the Issuer that includes a description of the related Collateral other than any financing statement relating to the security interest granted to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Indenture or that has been terminated. As of the Closing Date, no judgment has been entered, and no tax Liens have been filed, against the Issuer.

## Section 2.09 <u>The Securities Intermediary</u>.
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) There shall at all times be one or more securities intermediaries appointed for purposes of this Indenture (the "<u>Securities Intermediary</u>"). Citibank is hereby appointed as the initial Securities Intermediary hereunder, and Citibank accepts such appointment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The Securities Intermediary shall be, and Citibank as initial Securities Intermediary hereby represents and warrants that it is as of the date hereof and shall be, for so long as it is the Securities Intermediary hereunder, a corporation, State bank or national bank that in the ordinary course of its business maintains securities accounts for others and is acting in that capacity hereunder. The Securities Intermediary shall, and Citibank as initial Securities Intermediary does, agree with the parties hereto that each of the Collection Account, the Reserve Account and the Pre-Funding Account shall be an account to which financial assets (as defined in the UCC) may be credited and undertake to treat the Indenture Trustee as entitled to exercise the rights that comprise such financial assets. The Securities Intermediary shall, and Citibank as initial Securities Intermediary does, agree with the parties hereto that each item of property, including cash, credited to the Collection Account, the Reserve Account and the Pre-Funding Account, as applicable, shall be treated as a financial asset (as defined in the UCC). The Securities Intermediary shall, and Citibank as initial Securities Intermediary does, agree with the parties hereto that the jurisdiction of the Securities Intermediary with respect to the Collection Account, the Reserve Account and the Pre-Funding Account, respectively, shall be the State of New York. The Securities Intermediary shall, and Citibank as initial Securities Intermediary does, represent and covenant that it is not and will not be (as long as it is the Securities Intermediary hereunder) a party to any agreement that is inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture. The Securities Intermediary shall, and Citibank as initial Securities Intermediary does, covenant that it will not take any action inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture applicable to it. The Securities Intermediary shall, and Citibank as initial Securities Intermediary does, agree that any item of property credited to the Collection Account, the Reserve Account or the Pre-Funding Account, as applicable, shall not be subject to any security interest, lien, encumbrance or right of setoff in favor of the Securities Intermediary or anyone claiming through the Securities Intermediary (other than the Indenture Trustee).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) It is the intent of the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer that the Collection Account, the Reserve Account and the Pre-Funding Account shall be a securities account, as to which the Indenture Trustee is the "entitlement holder" (as defined in the UCC). The Securities Intermediary shall covenant that it will not agree with any person or entity other than the Indenture

------

Trustee that it will comply with entitlement orders originated by any person or entity other than the Indenture Trustee, and Citibank as initial Securities Intermediary hereby covenants that, for so long as it is the Securities Intermediary hereunder, it will not agree with any person or entity other than the Indenture Trustee that it will comply with entitlement orders originated by any person or entity other than the Indenture Trustee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Nothing herein shall imply or impose upon the Securities Intermediary any duties or obligations other than those expressly set forth herein and those applicable to a securities intermediary under the UCC (and the Securities Intermediary shall be entitled to all of the protections available to a securities intermediary under the UCC). Without limiting the foregoing, nothing herein shall imply or impose upon the Securities Intermediary any duties of a fiduciary nature (such as the fiduciary duties of the Indenture Trustee hereunder). The Securities Intermediary shall be entitled to all immunities, protections, rights, exculpations as are provided to the Indenture Trustee hereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) The Securities Intermediary may at any time resign by notice to the Indenture Trustee and may at any time be removed by notice from the Indenture Trustee, if a different Person than the Securities Intermediary, but if not, then the Issuer; <u>provided</u>, that it shall be the responsibility of the Indenture Trustee, if a different Person than the Securities Intermediary, but if not, then the Issuer, to appoint a successor Securities Intermediary and to cause the Collection Account to be established and maintained with such successor Securities Intermediary in accordance with the terms hereof; and the responsibilities and duties of the retiring Securities Intermediary hereunder shall remain in effect until all of the Collateral credited to the Collection Account held by such retiring Securities Intermediary has been transferred to such successor. Any corporation into which the Securities Intermediary may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, consolidation or conversion to which the Securities Intermediary shall be a party, shall be the successor of the Securities Intermediary hereunder, without the execution or filing of any further act on the part of the parties hereto or such Securities Intermediary or such successor corporation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) If the Issuer establishes pursuant to <u>Section 3.02</u> and <u>Section 4.01</u> that the Notes are to be issued in whole or in part in the form of one or more Global Notes, then the Issuer will execute and the Indenture Trustee or its agent will, in accordance with <u>Section 4.03</u>, authenticate and deliver, such Global Note, which (i) will represent, and will be denominated in an amount equal to the aggregate initial principal amount of the Notes that are Outstanding to be represented by such Global Note or Notes, or such portion thereof as the Issuer will specify in an Issuer Certificate, (ii) will be registered in the name of the Depository for the beneficial owners of such Global Note or its nominee, (iii) will be delivered by the Indenture Trustee or its agent to the Depository or pursuant to the Depository's instruction, (iv) if applicable, will bear a legend substantially to the following effect: "Unless this Note is presented by an authorized representative of The Depository Trust Company, a New York corporation ("<u>DTC</u>"), to the Issuer or its agent for registration of transfer, exchange or payment, and any Note issued is registered in the name of Cede & Co. or in such other name as is requested by an authorized representative of DTC (and any payment is made to Cede & Co. or to such other entity as is requested by an authorized representative of DTC), any transfer, pledge or other use hereof for value or otherwise by or to any person is wrongful inasmuch as the registered owner hereof, Cede & Co., has an interest herein" and (v) may bear such other legend as the Issuer, upon advice of counsel, deems to be applicable. DTC will credit interest in any Regulation S Global Note to participant accounts maintained by Clearstream or Euroclear with DTC according to the interests in such Regulation S Global Note maintained by participants in Clearstream or Euroclear, as the case may be.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this <u>Section 3.04</u> or <u>Section 4.04</u>, and subject to the provisions of Section 3.04(c), a Global Note, or beneficial interest therein, may be transferred in the manner provided in <u>Section 3.09</u> or <u>Section 4.04</u>, as applicable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) With respect to the Notes:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) If at any time the Depository for a Global Note notifies the Issuer that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depository for such Global Note or if at any time the Depository for the Notes, ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Securities Exchange Act, or other applicable statute or regulation, the Issuer will appoint a successor Depository with respect to such Global Note. If a successor nominee for such Global Note is not appointed by the Issuer within 90 days after the Issuer receives such notice or becomes aware of such ineligibility, the Issuer will execute, and the Indenture Trustee or its agent, upon receipt of an Issuer Certificate requesting the authentication and delivery of individual Notes in exchange for such Global Note, will authenticate and deliver, individual Notes of like tenor and terms in an aggregate initial principal amount equal to the initial principal amount of the Global Note in exchange for such Global Note.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) If specified by the Issuer pursuant to <u>Section 3.02</u> and <u>Section 4.01</u> with respect to Notes issued or issuable in the form of a Global Note, the Depository for such Global Note may surrender such Global Note in exchange in whole or in part for individual Notes of like tenor and terms in definitive form on such terms as are acceptable to the Issuer and such Depository.

------

specified by such Depository a new Note or Notes of like tenor and terms and of any authorized denomination as requested by such Person in an aggregate initial principal amount equal to and in exchange for such Person's beneficial interest in the Global Note; and (B) to such Depository a new Global Note of like tenor and terms and in an authorized denomination equal to the difference, if any, between the initial principal amount of the surrendered Global Note and the aggregate initial principal amount of Notes delivered to the Holders thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) In any exchange provided for in any of the preceding two paragraphs, the Issuer will execute and the Indenture Trustee or its agent will authenticate and deliver individual Notes in definitive registered form in authorized denominations. Upon the exchange of the entire initial principal amount of a Global Note for individual Notes, such Global Note will be canceled by the Indenture Trustee or its agent. Except as provided in the preceding paragraphs, Notes issued in exchange for a Global Note pursuant to this <u>Section 3.04</u> will be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depository for such Global Note, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, will instruct the Indenture Trustee or the Note Registrar. The Indenture Trustee or the Note Registrar will deliver such Notes to the Persons in whose names such Notes are so registered.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) Any Note Owner holding an individual definitive Note may exchange its individual definitive Note for a beneficial interest in a Global Note to be issued in accordance with clause (a) above, upon notice to the Indenture Trustee.

## Section 3.05 <u>Beneficial Ownership of Global Notes</u>. Until definitive Notes have been issued to the applicable Note Owners pursuant to <u>Section 3.04</u>:
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee may deal with the applicable clearing agency or Depository and the clearing agency's or Depository's participants for all purposes (including the making of distributions) as the authorized representatives of the respective Note Owners; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) the rights of the respective Note Owners will be exercised only through the applicable clearing agency or Depository and the clearing agency's or Depository's participants and will be limited to those established by law and agreements between such Note Owners and the clearing agency or Depository and/or the clearing agency's or Depository's participants. Pursuant to the operating rules of the applicable clearing agency, unless and until Notes in definitive form are issued pursuant to <u>Section 3.04</u>, the clearing agency's or the Depository's participants shall receive and transmit distributions of principal and interest on the related Notes to such clearing agency's or Depository's participants.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, for purposes of any provision of this Indenture requiring or permitting Actions with the consent of, or at the direction of, Noteholders evidencing a specified percentage of the Outstanding Principal Amount of Outstanding Notes, such direction or consent may be given by Note Owners (acting through the clearing agency and the clearing agency's participants) owning interests in or security entitlements to Notes evidencing the requisite percentage of principal amount of Notes.

------

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the right to the principal of, and stated interest on, the Global Notes may be transferred only through a book entry system maintained by the Depository (the "<u>Book Entry System</u>"), which for this purpose will be acting as the Issuer's agent, and the ownership of any interest in the Global Notes shall be reflected in a book entry in the Book Entry System. The Depository shall maintain the Book Entry System in a manner that will ensure that the Book Entry System constitutes a "book entry system" for purposes of Section 871(h) of the Code and the applicable Treasury Regulations thereunder (including Treasury Regulations Section 1.871-14(c)(1)(i)) at all times. The entries in the Book Entry System shall be conclusive absent manifest error. This <u>Section 3.05</u> shall be construed so that the Global Notes are at all times maintained in "registered form" within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code and any related Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder.

## Section 3.06 <u>Notices to Depository</u>. Whenever any notice or other communication is required to be given to Noteholders with respect to which book-entry Notes have been issued, unless and until Notes in definitive form will have been issued to the related Note Owners, the Indenture Trustee will give all such notices and communications to the applicable clearing agency or Depository.

## Section 3.07 <u>CUSIP Numbers</u>. In issuing the Notes, the Issuer shall use "CUSIP" numbers, and the Indenture Trustee shall use such CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; <u>provided</u>, that subject to <u>Section 8.01</u>, any such notice may state that (a) no representation is made as to the correctness of such CUSIP numbers as printed on the related Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption, (b) reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers, if any, printed on the Notes and (c) any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such CUSIP numbers. The Issuer will promptly notify the Indenture Trustee of any change in the CUSIP numbers for any Outstanding Note.

## Section 3.08 <u>Regulation S Global Notes</u>. Notes issued in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act shall initially be in the form of a Temporary Regulation S Global Note. Any beneficial interest in a Note evidenced by the Temporary Regulation S Global Note is exchangeable for a beneficial interest in a Permanent Regulation S Global Note, authenticated and delivered in substantially the form attached hereto in <u>Exhibit C</u> (each a " <u>Permanent Regulation S Global Note</u> "), upon the Exchange Date.

## Section 3.09 <u>Special Transfer Provisions.</u> 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Any beneficial interest in one of the Global Notes that is transferred to a person who takes delivery in the form of a beneficial interest in the other Global Note shall, upon transfer, cease to be an interest in such Global Note and become a beneficial interest in the other Global Note and, accordingly, shall thereafter be subject to all transfer restrictions and other procedures applicable to beneficial interests in such other Global Note for as long as it remains such a beneficial interest.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Until the Exchange Date, beneficial interests in a Regulation S Global Note may only be held through Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V., as operator of Euroclear or Clearstream, or another agent member of Euroclear and Clearstream acting for and on behalf of them. During the Distribution Compliance Period, beneficial interests in the Regulation S Global Note may be

exchanged for beneficial interests in the Rule 144A Global Note only in accordance with the certification requirements described in this Indenture.

The Notes shall only evidence a Holder's or their assignee's right, title and interest in and to the related Notes, and in no event is any such Note to be considered a bearer instrument or obligation. This <u>Section 4.04</u> shall be construed so that the Notes are at all times maintained in "registered form" within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code and any related Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) All Notes issued upon any transfer or exchange of Notes will be the valid and legally binding obligations of the Issuer, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Notes surrendered upon such transfer or exchange.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Every Note presented or surrendered for transfer or exchange will be duly indorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Note Registrar duly executed, by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) Unless otherwise provided in the Note to be transferred or exchanged, no service charge will be made on any Noteholder for any transfer or exchange of Notes, but the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee may (unless otherwise provided in such Note) require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Notes before the transfer or exchange will be complete.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) None of the Issuer, the Note Registrar or the Indenture Trustee shall be required (i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Notes during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of selection of Notes to be redeemed and ending at the close of business on the day of the mailing of the relevant notice of redemption of Registered Notes so selected for redemption or (ii) to register the transfer or exchange of any Notes or portions thereof so selected for redemption.

None of the Issuer, the Servicer, the Note Registrar or the Indenture Trustee is obligated to register the Notes under the Securities Act or any other securities or "Blue Sky" laws or to take any other action not otherwise required under this Indenture to permit the transfer of any Note without registration.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) Each Note issued pursuant to this Indenture shall be fully assignable; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that no transfer of any Note or any interest therein (including by pledge or hypothecation) shall be made except in compliance with the restrictions on transfer set forth in this <u>Section 4.04</u> (including the applicable legend to be set forth on the face of each Note as provided in the form of Note attached as an exhibit hereto) and in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable State securities or "Blue Sky" laws.

------

------

reliance on Rule 144A, or (C) in an offshore transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 904 of Regulation S under the Securities Act to a person it reasonably believes is a QIB, purchasing for its own account or for the account of another QIB.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(13) Each Noteholder or Note Owner, if it is acting as a nominee or in a similar capacity, represents and agrees that no beneficial owner for which it is acting as a nominee owns less than the minimum denomination for such Note.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(14) Each Noteholder or Note Owner with respect to any Note or any beneficial interest in a Note that is not made in accordance with the restrictions set forth herein will be null and void from the beginning and will not be given effect for any purpose thereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(15) It will not take any action that could cause, and will not omit to take any action, which omission could cause, the Issuer to become taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(16) Each purchaser of a Note acknowledges and represents that it is not a member of an "expanded group" (within the meaning of the regulations issued under Section 385 of the Code) that includes a domestic corporation (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes) if such domestic corporation, directly or indirectly (through one or more entities that are treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as partnerships, disregarded entities, or grantor trusts), owns 80% or more of the capital or profits of the Issuer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j) Each Noteholder of any Notes understands and acknowledges that the Issuer has structured this Indenture and the Notes with the intention that the Notes will qualify under applicable tax law as indebtedness of the Issuer, and the Issuer and each Noteholder by acceptance of its Note agree to treat the Notes (or interests therein) as indebtedness for purposes of federal, State, local and foreign income or franchise taxes or any other applicable tax.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(k) Each Noteholder or Note Owner of any Notes, by the purchase of such Note or its acceptance of a beneficial interest therein, acknowledges and agrees that interest on the Notes

------

will be treated as United States source interest, and, as such, United States withholding tax may apply. Each such Noteholder or Note Owner further agrees, upon request, to provide any certifications that may be required under applicable law, regulations or procedures to evidence its status and understands that if it ceases to provide requested documentation, payments to it under the Notes may be subject to United States withholding tax and each Noteholder acknowledges and agrees that the Indenture Trustee shall have the right (without liability) to deduct and withhold any required U.S. withholding tax, including under FATCA, pursuant to applicable law. Without limiting the foregoing, if a payment made under this Indenture would be subject to United States federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if the recipient of such payment were to fail to comply with FATCA (including the requirements of Code Sections 1471(b) or 1472(b), as applicable), such recipient shall deliver to the Issuer, with a copy to the Indenture Trustee, at the time or times prescribed by the Code and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee, such documentation prescribed by the Code (including as prescribed by Code Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i)) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee to comply with their respective obligations under FATCA, to determine that such recipient has complied with such recipient's obligations under FATCA, or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. For these purposes, "FATCA" means Section 1471 through 1474 of the Code and any regulations or official interpretations thereof (including any revenue ruling, revenue procedure, notice or similar guidance issued by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service thereunder as a precondition to relief or exemption from taxes under such Sections, regulations and interpretations), any agreements entered into pursuant to Code Section 1471(b)(1), and including any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Indenture.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(l) None of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, any agent of the Indenture Trustee, any Paying Agent or the Note Registrar will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payment made on account of beneficial ownership of a Global Note or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(m) The Issuer initially appoints Citibank to act as Note Registrar for the Registered Notes on its behalf, and Citibank by its execution of this Indenture hereby accepts such appointment. The Issuer may at any time and from time to time authorize any Person to act as Note Registrar in place of the Indenture Trustee with respect to any Notes issued under this Indenture.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(n) For so long as any of the Notes are "restricted securities" within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) under the Securities Act, the Issuer agrees to provide to any Noteholder and to any prospective purchaser of Notes designated by such Noteholder, upon the request of such Noteholder or prospective purchaser, any information required to be provided to such Holder or prospective purchaser to satisfy the conditions set forth in Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, each Note and this Indenture may be amended or supplemented to modify the restrictions on and procedures for resale and other transfers of the Notes to reflect any change in applicable law or regulation (or the interpretation thereof) or in practices relating to the resale or transfer of restricted securities generally. Each

------

Noteholder shall, by its acceptance of such Note, have agreed to any such amendment or supplement.

## Section 4.05 <u>Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Notes</u>. (a) If (i) any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Indenture Trustee or the Note Registrar, or the Issuer, the Note Registrar or the Indenture Trustee receive evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, and (ii) there is delivered to the Issuer, the Note Registrar or the Indenture Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, 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 (as defined in Article 8 of the UCC), the Issuer will execute and upon its request the Indenture Trustee will authenticate and deliver in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a new Note of like tenor, Final Maturity Date and principal amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously Outstanding.
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note has become or is about to become due and payable, the Issuer in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Note, pay such Note in full as provided hereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Upon the issuance of any new Note under this <u>Section 4.05</u>, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Indenture Trustee) connected therewith.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Every new Note issued pursuant to this <u>Section 4.05</u> in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Note will constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Issuer, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Note will be at any time enforceable by anyone, and will be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) The provisions of this <u>Section 4.05</u> are exclusive and will preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes.

## Section 4.06 <u>Payment of Principal and Interest; Payment Rights Preserved; Withholding Taxes</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Subject to clause (a), each Note delivered under this Indenture upon transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Note will carry the rights to interest accrued or principal accreted and unpaid, and to accrue or accrete, which were carried by such other Note.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The right of any Noteholder to receive interest on or principal of any Note shall be subject to any applicable withholding or deduction imposed pursuant to the Code or other applicable tax law, including foreign withholding and deduction. Any amounts properly so withheld or deducted shall be treated as actually paid to the appropriate Noteholder.

In addition, the occurrence of an Amortization Event will terminate the Pre-Funding Period, following which the amounts on deposit in the Pre-Funding Account will be added to Available Funds and made available for distribution on the immediately succeeding Payment Date.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the cap on the expenses and indemnities payable to the parties as set forth in clause SECOND above will not apply and (b) following the occurrence of an Event of Default which has resulted in an acceleration of the Notes that has not been rescinded or annulled, all Available Funds will be applied as described in clause (b) below.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) On the Payment Date on which the Pre-Funding Period terminates (or if the Pre-Funding Period terminates on a date that is not a Payment Date, the first Payment Date following the termination of the Pre-Funding Period), as set forth in the Monthly Servicing Report for such Payment Date, the Paying Agent shall withdraw any funds remaining on deposit in the Pre-Funding Account and add such funds to Available Funds for such Payment Date.

## Section 7.02 <u>Acceleration of Maturity</u>. (a) If an Event of Default described in <u>Section 7.01</u> occurs and is continuing with respect to a Note (other than with respect to clauses (a), (b) or (d)), then, unless the principal of all the Notes shall have already become due and payable, the Indenture Trustee upon the written direction of the Majority Holders of the Notes provided to the Indenture Trustee, shall declare the Outstanding Principal Amount of the Outstanding Notes and all interest accrued or principal accreted and unpaid (if any) thereon to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same will become and will be immediately due and payable, anything in this Indenture or in the Notes to the contrary notwithstanding.
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) If an Event of Default described in clauses (a), (b) or (d) of <u>Section 7.01</u> occurs and is continuing, then all the Notes will automatically be and become immediately due and payable by the Issuer, without notice or demand to any Person, and the Issuer will automatically and immediately be obligated to pay off the Notes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Notes and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary and advisable in order to have the claims of the Indenture Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, indemnity, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee, its agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Indenture Trustee under <u>Section 8.07</u>) and of the Noteholders allowed in such judicial proceeding, and

and any receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator or other similar official in any such proceeding is hereby authorized by each Noteholder to make such payment to the Indenture Trustee, and in the event that the Indenture Trustee will consent to the making of such payments directly to the Noteholders, to pay to the Indenture Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Indenture Trustee under <u>Section 8.07</u>.

Nothing herein contained will be deemed to authorize the Indenture Trustee to authorize or consent to 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.

## Section 7.04 <u>Indenture Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Notes</u>. All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Notes 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, and any such proceeding instituted by the Indenture Trustee will be brought in its own name as trustee, and any recovery of judgment will, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee and its respective agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.

## Section 7.05 <u>Application of Money Collected</u>.

Following an acceleration of any Note, the Indenture Trustee may elect to continue to hold the Collateral and apply distributions on the Collateral in accordance with the regular distribution provisions set forth in <u>Section 5.04</u>, except that principal will be paid on the accelerated Notes to the extent funds are received and allocated to the accelerated Notes.

## Section 7.07 <u>Sale of Collateral for Accelerated Notes</u>.
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) If the Notes are accelerated pursuant to this Indenture following an Event of Default, the Indenture Trustee, at the written direction of the Majority Holders of the Notes, will sell Receivables (or interests therein).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Such a sale will be permitted if at least one of the following conditions is met:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) the net proceeds of such sale would be sufficient to pay in full the Outstanding Principal Amount of all Notes and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) such sale has been consented to by Holders of the Notes evidencing 100% of the Notes; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) the Indenture Trustee has determined that the net proceeds of such sale would not continue to provide sufficient funds for the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes as they would have become due if the Notes had not been declared immediately due and payable, and the Indenture Trustee has obtained the consent of the Holders of Notes evidencing not less than 66 2/3 % of the Notes.

In connection with any sale, the Indenture Trustee, at the expense of the Issuer, will be entitled to retain an independent investment banking firm or accounting firm of national reputation to assist and advise in such sale. Sale proceeds received with respect to the Notes will be applied in accordance with the priority of payments set forth in <u>Section 5.04</u> of this Indenture.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Sale proceeds received with respect to the Notes will be applied as specified in <u>Section 7.05</u> of this Indenture.

## Section 7.08 <u>Noteholders Have the Right to Direct the Time, Method and Place of Conducting Any Proceeding for Any Remedy Available to the Indenture Trustee</u>. The Majority Holders of the Notes shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Indenture Trustee, or exercising any power conferred on the Indenture Trustee, subject to <u>Section 7.07(b)</u>. This right may be exercised only if the Indenture Trustee is adequately indemnified by the Holders of such accelerated Notes and if the Majority Holders of the Notes provide the Indenture Trustee with an Opinion of Counsel acceptable to the Indenture Trustee upon which Indenture Trustee may conclusively rely that the direction provided by the Noteholders does not conflict with applicable law or this Indenture and the likelihood of the Indenture Trustee incurring liability from acting in reliance thereon, personal or otherwise, is remote.

## Section 7.09 <u>Limitation on Suits</u>. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, but subject to <u>Section 7.07(b)</u> and <u>Section 7.08</u>, no Holder of any Note will 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 similar official, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless:
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) such Holder has previously given notice to the Indenture Trustee of a continuing Event of Default with respect to such Notes;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) the Majority Holders of the Notes have made request to the Indenture Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in the name of the Indenture Trustee hereunder;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Indenture Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) the Indenture Trustee, for thirty days after the Indenture Trustee has received such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute any such proceeding;

it being understood and intended that no one or more Holders of such Notes will have any right in any manner whatsoever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other such Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and proportionate benefit of all the Holders of all such Notes.

In any proceedings brought by the Indenture Trustee (and also 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 7.10 <u>Unconditional Right of Noteholders to Receive Principal and Interest; Limited Recourse</u>. Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Indenture, the Holder of any Note will have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and

------

## interest on such Note and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such right will not be impaired without the consent of such Holder; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that the obligation to pay principal of or interest on the Notes or any other amount payable to any Noteholder will be without recourse to the Indenture Trustee or any Affiliate, officer, employee, member or director of any of them, and the obligation of the Issuer to pay principal of or interest on the Notes or any other amount payable to any Noteholder will be subject to the allocation and payment provisions of this Indenture, and limited to amounts available from the Collateral.

## Section 7.11 <u>Restoration of Rights and Remedies</u>. 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, then and in every such case the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders will, 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 will continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.

## Section 7.12 <u>Rights and Remedies Cumulative</u>. 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 will, 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, will not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

## Section 7.13 <u>Delay or Omission Not Waiver</u>. No delay or omission of the Indenture Trustee or of any Holder of any Note to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default will impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this <u>Article VII</u> 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.

## Section 7.14 <u>Control by Noteholders</u>. Subject to <u>Section 7.07(b)</u> and <u>Section 7.08</u>, the Majority Holders of the Notes will have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Indenture Trustee, or exercising any power conferred on the Indenture Trustee with respect to the Notes, <u>provided</u>, that:
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) the Indenture Trustee will have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Indenture Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines that the Action so directed may not lawfully be taken or would conflict with this Indenture or if the Indenture Trustee in good faith determines that the proceedings so directed would involve it in personal liability or be unjustly prejudicial to the Holders not taking part in such direction, and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) the Indenture Trustee may take any other action permitted hereunder deemed proper by the Indenture Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction.

## Section 7.15 <u>Waiver of Past Defaults</u>. The Majority Holders of the Notes may on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes waive any past default hereunder and its consequences, except

------

## consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Note is required if (i) there is a default not theretofore cured in the payment of the principal of or interest on any Note, or (ii) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under <u>Article X</u> cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Note.
Upon any such waiver, such default will cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom will be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver will extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon.

## Section 7.16 <u>Undertaking for Costs</u>. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Note by his or her acceptance thereof will 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 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 and documented attorneys' fees and 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 <u>Section 7.16</u> will not apply to any suit instituted by the Indenture Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Noteholder, or group of Noteholders, holding in the aggregate more than 25% in Outstanding Principal Amount of the Outstanding Notes.

## Section 7.17 <u>Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws</u>. 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, which 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.

# **Article VIII <br>THE INDENTURE TRUSTEE** 

## Section 8.01 <u>Certain Duties and Responsibilities</u>. (a) The Indenture Trustee is hereby authorized and directed to enter into the Transaction Documents to which the Indenture Trustee is a party and undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture and the other Transaction Documents with respect to the Notes, and no implied duties (including fiduciary duties) covenants or obligations will be read into this Indenture against the Indenture Trustee. The permissive right of the Indenture Trustee to do things enumerated in this Indenture shall never be construed as a duty. Citibank and any Indenture Trustee (if a different Person than Citibank) shall only be responsible for the performance of the express duties outlined herein in whatever capacity, whether as Indenture Trustee, Paying Agent, Securities Intermediary, Authenticating Agent, Note Registrar or otherwise, and it shall not be liable for any action reasonably taken or omitted to be taken by it in any capacity hereunder in good faith or be responsible other than for its own gross negligence or willful default in the performance of those express duties.
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) In the absence of bad faith on its part, the Indenture Trustee may, with respect to Notes, 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; but in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee will be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform on their face to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of any mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) In case an Event of Default with respect to any Notes has occurred and is continuing and for which the Indenture Trustee has actual knowledge, the Indenture Trustee will exercise with respect to such Notes such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, as the Indenture Trustee and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise, as a corporate trustee would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such corporate trustee's own affairs; provided that the foregoing shall not be deemed to require the Indenture Trustee to take any action, or have any liability for the failure to take any action, where the terms of the Indenture provide that the Indenture Trustee only takes action at the direction of a certain percentage of the Noteholders or other Person or if the Indenture Trustee is permitted to refrain from taking action unless it has been provided with adequate indemnity. Nothing in this subsection (c) shall be construed to limit the effect of subsection (a) of this <u>Section 8.01</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Except to the extent otherwise provided in <u>Section 8.03</u>, no provision of this Indenture will be construed to relieve the Indenture Trustee from liability for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct, except that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) this <u>subsection (d)</u> will not be construed to limit the effect of <u>subsection (a)</u> of this <u>Section 8.01</u> or <u>Section 8.03</u>;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) If at any time:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) the Indenture Trustee ceases to be eligible under <u>Section 8.08</u> and fails to resign after request therefor by the Issuer or by any such Noteholder, or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) the Indenture Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent or a receiver of the Indenture Trustee or of its property is appointed or any public officer takes charge or control of the Indenture Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then, in any such case, (A) the Issuer may remove the Indenture Trustee, or (B) subject to <u>Section 7.17</u>, any Noteholder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Note for at least six months may, on behalf of itself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Indenture Trustee and the appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) If the Indenture Trustee resigns, is removed or becomes incapable of acting, the Issuer will promptly appoint a successor Indenture Trustee. If, within sixty days after such resignation, removal or incapacity, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Indenture Trustee has not been appointed, then an Indenture Trustee may thereupon be appointed by Act of the Majority Holders of the Notes delivered to the Issuer and the retiring Indenture Trustee. The successor Indenture Trustee so appointed will, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment, become the successor Indenture Trustee. If no successor Indenture Trustee shall have been so appointed by the Issuer or the Noteholders and accepted appointment in the manner hereinafter provided, the resigning or removed Indenture Trustee or any Noteholder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Note for at least 6 months may, on behalf of itself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) The Issuer will give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Indenture Trustee and each appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee to each Noteholder as provided in <u>Section 1.06</u>. To facilitate delivery of such notice, upon request by the Issuer, the Note Registrar shall provide to the Issuer a list of the relevant Registered Noteholders. Each notice will include the name of the successor Indenture Trustee and the address of its principal Corporate Trust Office.

## Section 8.10 <u>Acceptance of Appointment by Successor</u>. Every successor Indenture Trustee appointed hereunder will execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Issuer and to the predecessor Indenture Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor Indenture Trustee will become effective, and such successor Indenture Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, will become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the predecessor Indenture Trustee; but, on request of the Issuer or the successor Indenture Trustee, such predecessor Indenture Trustee will, upon payment of its reasonable charges, if any, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Indenture Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the predecessor Indenture Trustee, and will

------

## duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Indenture Trustee all property and money held by such predecessor Indenture Trustee hereunder, subject nevertheless to its Lien, if any, provided for in <u>Section 8.07</u> and the payment of all costs, fees and expenses of the Indenture Trustee. Upon request of any such successor Indenture Trustee, the Issuer will execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Indenture Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts.
In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Indenture Trustee with respect to the Notes, the Issuer, the predecessor Indenture Trustee and each successor Indenture Trustee with respect to the Notes will execute and deliver a supplement to this Indenture which will contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the predecessor Indenture Trustee with respect to the Notes shall be vested in the successor Indenture Trustee.

No successor Indenture Trustee will accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Indenture Trustee will be qualified and eligible under this <u>Article VIII</u>.

## Section 8.11 <u>Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business</u>. Any entity into which the Indenture Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any entity resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Indenture Trustee shall be a party, or any entity succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Indenture Trustee, will be the successor of the Indenture Trustee hereunder, provided such entity shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this <u>Article VIII</u>, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. The Indenture Trustee shall give prompt notice of such merger, conversion, consolidation or succession to the Issuer. In case any Notes shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Indenture Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Indenture Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Notes so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Indenture Trustee had itself authenticated such Notes.

## Section 8.12 <u>Appointment of Authenticating Agent</u>. At any time when any of the Notes remain Outstanding the Indenture Trustee, with the approval of the Issuer, may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents which will be authorized to act on behalf of the Indenture Trustee to authenticate Notes issued upon exchange, registration of transfer or partial redemption thereof or pursuant to <u>Section 4.06</u>, and Notes so authenticated will be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and will be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Indenture Trustee hereunder. Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Notes by the Indenture Trustee or the Indenture Trustee's Certificate of Authentication, such reference will be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Indenture Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a Certificate of Authentication executed on behalf of the Indenture Trustee by an Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent will be acceptable to the Issuer and will at all times be an Entity organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to act as an Authenticating Agent, having a combined capital and surplus of not less than $50,000,000 and, if other than the Issuer itself, subject to supervision or examination by federal or State authority. If such Authenticating Agent publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to

------

## the requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this <u>Section 8.12</u>, the combined capital and surplus of such Authenticating Agent will be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time an Authenticating Agent will cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this <u>Section 8.12</u>, such Authenticating Agent will resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this <u>Section 8.12</u>. The initial Authenticating Agent for the Notes will be Citibank.
Any entity into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any entity resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent will be a party, or any entity succeeding to the corporate agency or corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent, will continue to be an Authenticating Agent, provided such entity will be otherwise eligible under this <u>Section 8.12</u>, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Indenture Trustee or the Authenticating Agent.

An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Indenture Trustee and to the Issuer. The Indenture Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent and to the Issuer. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time such Authenticating Agent will cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this <u>Section 8.12</u>, the Indenture Trustee, with the approval of the Issuer, may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent and will give notice to each Noteholder as provided in <u>Section 1.06</u>. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder will become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent. No successor Authenticating Agent will be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this <u>Section 8.12</u>.

The Indenture Trustee agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent (other than an Authenticating Agent appointed at the request of the Issuer from time to time) reasonable compensation for its services under this <u>Section 8.12</u>, and the Indenture Trustee will be entitled to be reimbursed for such payments, subject to the provisions of <u>Section 8.07</u>.

If an appointment of an Authenticating Agent, other than the Indenture Trustee, is made pursuant to this <u>Section 8.12</u>, the Notes may have endorsed thereon, in lieu of the Indenture Trustee's Certificate of Authentication, an alternate Certificate of Authentication in the following form:

(a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Issuer Estate may at the time be located, the Indenture Trustee shall have the power and shall execute and deliver all instruments, subject to the prior consent of the Issuer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed to appoint one or more Persons reasonably acceptable to the Issuer to act as a co-trustee or co-trustees, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Issuer Estate, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the Noteholders, such title to the Issuer Estate, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this <u>Section 8.14</u>, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Indenture Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under <u>Section 8.08</u> and no notice to Noteholders of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required under <u>Section 8.09</u>.
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 Issuer 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;

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

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 Indenture and the conditions of this <u>Article VIII</u>. 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 an executed copy delivered to the Issuer.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time appoint 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 8.15 <u>Certain Tax Matters</u>.
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Upon an amendment that results in a deemed exchange of Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Issuer will cause its Independent Accountants to comply with any requirements under U.S. Treasury Regulation section 1.1273-2(f)(9) (or any successor provision) including (as applicable) (i) determining whether the new Notes deemed issued in connection with the amendment are traded on an established market and (ii) if so traded, determining the fair market value of such Notes and making available such fair market value determination to holders in a commercially reasonable fashion, including by electronic publication, within 90 days of the date of the amendment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Upon the Issuer's receipt of a request of a Holder of a Note or written request of a Person certifying that it is an owner of a beneficial interest in a Note for the information described in United States Treasury Regulations section 1.1275-3(b)(1)(i) that is applicable to such Note, the Issuer will cause its Independent certified public accountants to provide promptly to the Trustee and such requesting Holder or owner of a beneficial interest in such a Note all of such information.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The Issuer and the Noteholders agree that the Notes are intended to be debt for federal, State and local income and franchise tax purposes and agree to treat the Notes accordingly for all such purposes, unless otherwise required by a taxing authority. Each Noteholder further agrees that it will cause any Note Owner acquiring an interest in a Note through it to comply with this Indenture as to treatment as indebtedness under applicable tax law as described in this <u>Section 8.15</u>. The Issuer and the Enova Entities shall use all commercially reasonable efforts, as necessary, to ensure that all the Notes are treated as debt for U.S. federal income tax purposes at all times.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) The Issuer will be a disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes and the Transferor will not take any action (or fail to take any action) that would cause the Issuer to be treated as other than a disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) The Transferor or any other holder of the equity interest in the Issuer shall not enter into any financial instrument payments on which, or the value of which, is determined in whole or in part by reference to such equity interest or the Issuer (including the amount of Issuer distributions on the member interests, the value of the Issuer's assets, or the result of the Issuer's operations), or any contract that otherwise is described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.7704-1(a)(2)(i)(B).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) No more than 50% of the debt obligations (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes) held by the Issuer may at any time consist of real estate mortgages as determined for purposes of Section 7701(i) of the Code unless the Issuer has received an Opinion

------

of Counsel to the effect that the ownership of such debt obligations will not cause the Issuer to be treated as a taxable mortgage pool for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) If required to prevent the withholding and imposition of United States income tax on payments made to the Issuer, the Issuer shall deliver or cause to be delivered an IRS Form W-9 or applicable successor form and any relevant supporting documentation to each issuer or obligor of or counterparty with respect to an asset at the time such asset is purchased or entered into by the Issuer and thereafter prior to the obsolescence or expiration of such form.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) In the event that the Issuer shall be required to file tax returns, the Issuer shall prepare or shall cause to be prepared and executed such tax returns. The Issuer shall also prepare or shall cause to be prepared all tax information required by law to be distributed to Noteholders and shall deliver such information to the Indenture Trustee at least five days prior to the date it is required by law to be distributed to Noteholders, and the Indenture Trustee shall post such information to its website, to the extent accompanied by such direction. The Indenture Trustee, upon request, will furnish the Issuer with all such information in the possession of the Indenture Trustee as may be reasonably requested and required in connection with the preparation of all tax returns of the Issuer. In no event shall the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee be personally liable for any liabilities, costs or expenses of the Issuer or any Noteholder arising under any tax law, including federal, State or local income or excise taxes or any other tax imposed on or measured by income (or any interest or penalty with respect thereto arising from a failure to comply therewith).

## Section 11.01 <u>Payment of Principal and Interest</u>. With respect to each Note, the Issuer will duly and punctually pay the principal of and interest on such Note in accordance with its terms and this Indenture, and will duly comply with all the other terms, agreements and conditions contained in, or made in this Indenture for the benefit of, the Notes. The payment of principal and interest on each Note will be primarily based on the performance of the Receivables pledged to the Indenture Trustee and will not be contingent on market or credit events that are independent of the Receivables.

## Section 11.02 <u>Maintenance of Office or Agency</u>. The Issuer will maintain an office or agency in each Place of Payment where Notes may be presented or surrendered for payment, where Notes may be surrendered for transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Issuer in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served. The Issuer will give prompt notice to the Indenture Trustee of the location, and of any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Issuer will fail to maintain such office or agency or will fail to furnish the Indenture Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Indenture Trustee, and the Issuer hereby appoints the Indenture Trustee its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands.
The Issuer may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or all of such purposes specified above and may constitute and appoint one or more Paying Agents for the payments of such Notes, in one or more other cities, and may from time to time rescind such designations and appointments; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that no such designation, appointment or rescission shall in any matter relieve the Issuer of its obligations to maintain an office or agency in each Place of Payment for any Notes for such purposes. The Issuer will give prompt notice to the Indenture Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency. Unless and until the Issuer rescinds one or more of such appointments, the Issuer hereby appoints the Indenture Trustee, at its Corporate Trust Office, as its Paying Agent.

------

any covenants or obligations with respect to the Notes under this Indenture except as may be expressly permitted hereby or by the other Transaction Documents;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) voluntarily dissolve or liquidate;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) establish or maintain an account that is not the Collection Account or the Reserve Account, except for as otherwise permitted in the Transaction Documents;

Any Paying Agent will have the revocable power to withdraw funds from the Collection Account for the purpose of making the distributions referred to above. The Indenture Trustee may revoke such power and remove the Paying Agent if the Indenture Trustee determines in its sole discretion that the Paying Agent has failed to perform its obligations under this Indenture in any material respect. The Paying Agent upon removal will return all funds in its possession to the Indenture Trustee.
The Issuer will cause the Paying Agent (if a different Person than the Indenture Trustee) to execute and deliver to the Indenture Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent will agree with the Indenture Trustee (and if the Indenture Trustee acts as Paying Agent, it so agrees), subject to the provisions of this <u>Section 11.04</u>, that such Paying Agent will:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) if such Paying Agent is not the Indenture Trustee, give the Indenture Trustee notice of any default by the Issuer (or any other obligor upon such Notes) in the making of any such payment of principal or interest on such Notes;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) if such Paying Agent is not the Indenture Trustee, at any time during the continuance of any such default, upon the request of the Indenture Trustee, forthwith pay to the Indenture Trustee all sums so held in trust by such Paying Agent;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) immediately resign as a Paying Agent and, if such Paying Agent is not the Indenture Trustee, forthwith pay to the Indenture Trustee all sums held by it in trust for the payment of Notes if at any time it ceases to meet the standards described in this <u>Section 11.04</u> required to be met by a Paying Agent at the time of its appointment; and

The Issuer may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to any Note or for any other purpose, pay, or by an Officer's Certificate direct any Paying Agent to pay, to the Indenture Trustee all sums held in trust by the Issuer or such Paying Agent in respect of each and every Note as to which it seeks to discharge this Indenture or, if for any other purpose, all sums so held in trust by the Issuer in respect of all Notes, such sums to be held by the Indenture Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which such sums were held by the Issuer or such Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Indenture Trustee, such Paying Agent will be released from all further liability with respect to such money.

Any money deposited with the Indenture Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Issuer, in trust for the payment of the principal of or interest on any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal or interest has become due and payable will be paid to the Issuer upon request in an Officer's Certificate, or (if then held by the Issuer) will be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note will thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Issuer for payment thereof, and all liability of the Indenture Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Issuer as trustee thereof, will thereupon cease. The Indenture Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Issuer give to the Holders of the Notes as to which the money to be repaid was held in trust, as provided in <u>Section 1.06</u>, a notice that such funds remain unclaimed and that, after a date specified in the notice, which will not be less than 30 days from the date on which the notice was first mailed or published to the Holders of the Notes as to which the money to be repaid was held in trust, any unclaimed balance of such funds then remaining will be paid to the Issuer free of the trust formerly impressed upon it.

Each Paying Agent will at all times have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and be subject to supervision or examination by a United States federal or State authority. If such Paying Agent publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this <u>Section 11.04</u>, the combined capital and surplus of such Paying Agent will be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition as so published.
