**SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS**

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), about us and our industry that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including statements regarding the impact of macroeconomic and geopolitical factors including tariffs and other trade restrictions, the impact of the Prepackaged Chapter 11 Case (as defined herein), our ability to continue as a going concern, our future results of operations and financial condition, business strategy, and plans and objectives of management for future operations, including our Value Maximization Plan (as defined herein) the ongoing activities of and potential growth of our UACC and CarStory businesses, our Long-Term Strategic Plan (as defined herein), including our base, growth, and aggressive growth models, our ongoing compliance with, the amendment and renewal of the Warehouse Credit Facilities (as defined herein), and the timing of any of the foregoing are forward-looking statements. In some cases, forward-looking statements may be identified by words such as "anticipate," "believe," "contemplate," "continue," "could," "design," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "may," "plan," "potentially," "predict," "project," "should," "target," "will," "would," or the negative of these terms or other similar terms or expressions, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words.

The forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are only predictions. Forward-looking statements are based on our management's beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and other important factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements, including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•we recently emerged from the Prepackaged Chapter 11 Case, which could adversely affect our business and relationships, and subject us to risks and uncertainties;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•there are risks associated with the discontinuance of our ecommerce operations and wind-down of our used vehicle dealership business;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•our Long-Term Strategic Plan may not be successful, and may not lead to growth and enhanced profitability for our UACC or CarStory businesses;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•we may not generate sufficient liquidity to operate our business;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•general business and economic conditions and risks related to the larger automotive ecosystem, including consumer demand;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•we have a history of losses and we may not achieve or maintain profitability in the future;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•our indebtedness and liabilities could limit the cash flow available for our operations, expose us to risks that could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations and impair our ability to satisfy our debt obligations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•the geographic concentration of UACC's borrowers or dealerships creates an exposure to local and regional downturns or severe weather or catastrophic occurrences that may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•we may be unable to satisfy a Nasdaq listing rule or that of another national securities exchange;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•UACC may be unable to continue to access or renew funding sources and obtain capital needed to maintain and grow its business;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•UACC's securitizations may expose it to financing and other risks, and there can be no assurance that it will be able to access the securitization market in the future, which may require it to seek more costly financing;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•UACC is currently experiencing increasing credit losses in interests it holds in automotive finance receivables, and its credit scoring systems may not effectively forecast its automotive receivables loss rates. Higher than anticipated credit losses or prepayments or the inability to effectively forecast loss rates may negatively impact our operating results;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•if UACC loses servicing rights on its automobile contracts, our results of operations would be negatively impacted;

------

[**<u>**Table of Contents**</u>**](#toc_page)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•if we or our third-party providers sustain cyber-attacks or other privacy or data security incidents that result in security breaches, we could suffer a loss of sales and increased costs, exposure to significant liability, reputational harm and other negative consequences;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•we operate in a highly regulated industry and are subject to a wide range of federal, state and local laws and regulations, and failure to comply with these laws and regulations could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•we are, and may in the future be, subject to legal proceedings in the ordinary course of our business. If the outcomes of these proceedings are adverse to us, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•our actual operating results may differ significantly from our guidance; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•the risks described in the section titled "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Other sections of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q include additional factors that could harm our business and financial performance. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risk factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for our management to predict all risk factors nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ from those contained in, or implied by, any forward-looking statements.

You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. We cannot assure you that the events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements will be achieved or occur. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements for any reason after the date of this report or to conform these statements to actual results or to changes in our expectations. You should read this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the documents that we reference or incorporate by reference in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and have filed as exhibits to this report with the understanding that our actual future results, levels of activity, performance, and achievements may be materially different from what we expect. We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements.

**VROOM, INC.** 

**NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** 

**(unaudited)**

**1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation**

***Description of Business and Organization*** 

Vroom, Inc. is a holding company that conducts its operations through its subsidiaries. Unless the context otherwise requires, references herein to "Vroom", the "Company", "we", "us" or "our" refer to Vroom and its consolidated subsidiaries.

The Company was incorporated in Delaware on January 31, 2012, under the name BCM Partners III, Corp. On June 25, 2013, the Company changed its name to Auto America, Inc., and on July 9, 2015, the Company changed its name to Vroom, Inc.

In January 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of Vast Holdings, Inc. (d/b/a CarStory) ("CarStory"). On February 1, 2022 (the "Acquisition Date"), the Company completed the acquisition of Unitas Holdings Corp. (now known as Vroom Finance Corporation), including its wholly owned subsidiaries United PanAm Financial Corp. (now known as Vroom Automotive Financial Corporation) and United Auto Credit Corporation ("UACC").

UACC, a leading automotive finance company, offers vehicle financing to consumers through third-party dealers under the UACC brand, and CarStory, is an AI-powered analytics and digital services platform for automotive retail. The UACC and CarStory businesses continue to serve their third-party customers, with their operations substantially unaffected by the Ecommerce Wind-Down (as defined herein).

The Company previously operated an end-to-end ecommerce platform to buy and sell used vehicles through its subsidiary Vroom Automotive, LLC. On January 22, 2024, the Company announced that its Board of Directors ("Board") had approved a value maximization plan, pursuant to which the Company wound down its used vehicle dealership business in order to preserve liquidity and enable the Company to maximize stakeholder value through its remaining businesses (the "Value Maximization Plan"). As of March 29, 2024, the Company substantially completed the wind-down of its ecommerce operations and used vehicle dealership business (the "Ecommerce Wind-Down").

The accounting requirements for reporting the Company's ecommerce operations and used vehicle dealership business as a discontinued operation were met as of March 29, 2024. Accordingly, the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the results of the Company's ecommerce operations and used vehicle dealership business as a discontinued operation for the periods presented. Refer to Note 5 — Discontinued Operations for further detail. The Company is now organized into two reportable segments: UACC and CarStory. The UACC reportable segment represents UACC's operations with its network of third-party dealership customers, including the purchase and servicing of vehicle retail installment sales contracts. Prior to the Ecommerce Wind-Down, UACC also offered vehicle financing to Vroom's customers through its ecommerce platform; the UACC reportable segment also includes the runoff of these previously originated contracts. The CarStory reportable segment represents sales of AI-powered analytics and digital services to automotive dealers, automotive financial services companies and others in the automotive industry. Refer to Note 16 — Segment Information for further details.

***The Prepackaged Chapter 11 Case***

On November 12, 2024, the Company (in the context of the Prepackaged Chapter 11 Case, the "Debtor") entered into a Restructuring Support Agreement (together with all exhibits and schedules thereto, the "RSA") with creditors holding the overwhelming majority of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Notes (as defined in Note 11 — Long Term Debt) and the largest shareholder. The RSA contemplated a comprehensive restructuring of the Company's debt obligations and capital structure to be implemented through a prepackaged plan of reorganization (the "Plan") to be implemented through the filing of the Prepackaged Chapter 11 Case (as defined below). Capitalized terms used in this section but not defined herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the RSA.

On November 13, 2024, the Company commenced a voluntary proceeding (the "Prepackaged Chapter 11 Case") under Chapter 11 of the United States Code, 11 U.S.C. §§ 101-1532, as amended from time to (the "Bankruptcy Code") in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas (the "Bankruptcy Court") under the name "In re Vroom, Inc." Case No. 24-90571 (CML). None of Vroom, Inc.'s subsidiaries were debtors in the Chapter 11 proceedings.

**VROOM, INC.** 

**NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** 

**(unaudited)**

On January 14, 2025 (the "Effective Date"), the conditions to the effectiveness of the Plan were satisfied or waived and the Plan became effective. The Company emerged from the Prepackaged Chapter 11 Case on January 14, 2025.

***Conversion of Common Stock***

Immediately prior to the Effective Date, there were 1,822,577 outstanding shares of the Company's common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the "Common Stock"). The Company has adopted an Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the "Certificate of Incorporation") to, among other changes to the Company's prior amended and restated certificate of incorporation, effect an automatic conversion of the Common Stock at a ratio of 1-for-5. As a result of the automatic conversion and the issuance of shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Plan, there were approximately 5,163,109 outstanding shares of newly issued Common Stock as of the Effective Date (the "New Common Stock").

**Warrants to Purchase New Common Stock**

On the Effective Date, the Company entered into a warrant agreement (the "Warrant Agreement") with Equiniti Trust Company LLC, as warrant agent. In accordance with the Plan and pursuant to the Warrant Agreement, on the Effective Date, the Company issued warrants (the "Warrants") to purchase an aggregate of 364,516 shares of the New Common Stock, at an exercise price of $60.95 per share, to stockholders of the Predecessor in accordance with the Prepackaged Chapter 11 Case. Each Warrant was immediately exercisable upon the issuance date and will expire five years from the issuance date. See Note 20 - Subsequent events for further details.

***Going Concern***

As described above, the Company filed the Prepackaged Chapter 11 Case to implement the transactions described herein. As of January 14, 2025, the Company emerged from the Prepackaged Chapter 11 Case and continues to operate as a viable going concern.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Company will continue to operate as a going concern, which contemplates that the Company will be able to realize assets and settle liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business for twelve months following the issuance date.

***Basis of Presentation*** 

The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") and applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission regarding interim financial reporting. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024, included herein, was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Therefore, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Upon emergence from the Prepackaged Chapter 11 Case, the Company adopted fresh start accounting in accordance with FASB Codification Topic 852, Reorganizations ("ASC 852") and became a new entity for financial reporting purposes. As a result, the condensed consolidated financial statements after the Effective Date are not comparable with the condensed consolidated financial statements on or before that date as indicated by the "black line" division in the financial statements and footnote tables. References to "Successor" relate to the Company's financial position and results of operations after the Effective Date. References to "Predecessor" refer to the Company's financial position and results of operations on or before the Effective Date. Refer to Note 6 — Fresh Start Accounting for further details.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements, and in management's opinion, include all adjustments, which consist of only

------

**VROOM, INC.** 

**NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** 

**(unaudited)**

normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair statement of the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2025, and its results of operations for the periods presented. The results for the period from January 1, 2025, to January 14, 2025, and from January 15, 2025, to June 30, 2025, are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the current fiscal year or any other future periods.

***Principles of Consolidation***

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

**2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies** 

***Use of Estimates*** 

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and related disclosures. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including, among others, those related to finance receivables, income taxes, stock-based compensation, contingencies, warranties and GAP (as defined below) income-related reserves, fair value measurements and useful lives of property and equipment and intangible assets. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, market conditions, and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

***Comprehensive Income and Loss***

The Company did not have any other comprehensive income or loss for the periods presented. Accordingly, net income and loss and comprehensive income and loss are the same for the periods presented.

***Cash and Cash Equivalents***

Cash and cash equivalents include cash deposits at financial institutions and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. Outstanding checks that are in excess of the cash balances at certain financial institutions are included in "Other liabilities" in the consolidated balance sheets and changes in these amounts are reflected in operating cash flows in the consolidated statements of cash flows.

***Restricted Cash*** 

Restricted cash primarily includes UACC restricted cash. UACC collects and services finance receivables under the securitization transactions and warehouse credit facilities. These collections are restricted for use until properly remitted each month under the terms of the servicing agreement. UACC also maintains a reserve account for each securitization and warehouse credit facility to provide additional collateral for the borrowings. Refer to Note 10 — Warehouse Credit Facilities of Consolidated VIEs and Note 11 — Long Term Debt for further details.

***Finance Receivables***

Finance receivables consist of retail installment sale contracts purchased or acquired by UACC from its existing network of third-party dealership customers at a discount as well as retail installment sale contracts UACC offered to Vroom's customers through its ecommerce platform prior to the Ecommerce Wind-Down.

The Company's finance receivables are generally secured by the vehicles being financed.

Finance receivables over 90 days delinquent are considered nonaccrual finance receivables. Interest income is subsequently recognized only to the extent cash payments are received until the consumer is able to make periodic interest and principal payments in accordance with the finance receivable terms.

Finance Receivables at Fair Value

------

[**<u>**Table of Contents**</u>**](#toc_page)

**VROOM, INC.** 

**NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** 

**(unaudited)**

Finance receivables for which the fair value option was elected under ASC 825 are classified as finance receivables at fair value.

Upon emergence from the Prepackaged Chapter 11 Case, and application of fresh start accounting, the Company made an accounting policy election to account for all finance receivables as finance receivables held for investment at fair value. Prior to the accounting policy change, the Company's finance receivables at fair value included both finance receivables held for sale at fair value as well as finance receivables held for investment at fair value. The Company did not have any finance receivables held for sale at fair value as of June 30, 2025, and the aggregate principal balance and the fair value of the finance receivables held for investment was $952.1 million and $849.0 million, respectively as of June 30, 2025. The aggregate principal balance and the fair value of the finance receivables held for sale at fair value was $365.0 million and $320.6 million, respectively, and the aggregate principal balance and the fair value of the finance receivables held for investment at fair value was $211.2 million and $183.2 million, respectively as of December 31, 2024.

The Company reassesses the estimate for fair value at each reporting period with any changes reflected as a fair value adjustment and recorded in "Realized and unrealized losses, net of recoveries" in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. For all finance receivables at fair value, the Company recognizes the fees it charges to dealers upon acquisition as other income at the time of issuance of the finance receivables and recognizes the acquisition costs to underwrite the finance receivables as an expense in the period incurred. For finance receivables held for investment at fair value, any discounts are amortized over the contractual life of the underlying finance receivables and is recognized in realized and unrealized loss, net of recoveries on the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

Refer to Note 15 — Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements for further details.

***Finance Receivables Held for Sale, Net***

Upon emergence from the Prepackaged Chapter 11 Case, and application of fresh start accounting, the Company made an accounting policy election to elect the fair value option for all finance receivables held for sale, net. The Company reports all finance receivables on a prospective basis as Finance Receivables at Fair Value. Refer to Note 6 — Fresh Start Accounting for further details.

The finance receivables that the Company intended to sell were classified as held for sale and recorded at the lower of cost or fair value. The Company intended to sell finance receivables through securitization transactions. Deferred acquisition costs and any discounts were deferred until the finance receivables were sold and were then recognized as part of the total gain or loss on sale. Refer to Note 3 — Revenue Recognition for further details.

Prior to the Effective Date, the Company recorded a valuation allowance to report finance receivables held for sale at the lower of cost or fair value. To determine the valuation allowance, finance receivables were evaluated collectively as they represent a large group of smaller-balance homogeneous loans. To the extent that actual experience differed from estimates, significant adjustments to the Company's valuation allowance were needed. Fair value adjustments were recorded in "Realized and unrealized losses, net of recoveries" in the consolidated statements of operations. Principal balances and corresponding deferred acquisition costs and discounts of finance receivables were charged-off when the Company was unable to sell the finance receivable and the related vehicle had been repossessed and liquidated, or the receivable had otherwise been deemed uncollectible. As of June 30, 2025, the Company did not have any finance receivables classified as held for sale, net and therefore did not have a valuation allowance. As of December 31, 2024, the valuation allowance for finance receivables classified as held for sale was $31.1 million. Refer to Note 15 — Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements for further details.

***Consolidated CFEs***

The 2022-2, 2023-1, 2024-1, and 2025-1 securitization transactions are consolidated collateralized financing entities (CFEs) that are VIEs. Refer to Note 4 — Variable Interest Entities and Securitizations for further details. The Company recognized the following revenue and expenses associated with these CFEs in the condensed consolidated statements of operations (in thousands):

The assets and liabilities of the CFEs are presented as part of "Restricted cash", "Finance receivables at fair value", "Interest receivable", "Other Assets", "Long term debt", and "Other liabilities", respectively, on the consolidated balance sheets. Refer to Note 4 — Variable Interest Entities and Securitizations and Note 15 — Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements for further details.

***Property and Equipment, Net*** 

Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Charges for repairs and maintenance that do not improve or extend the life of the respective assets are expensed as incurred. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, their costs and related accumulated depreciation are written off and any resulting gains or losses are recorded during the period.

Depreciation and amortization are calculated using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives of the assets:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Equipment | &nbsp;&nbsp;1 to 10 years |
| Furniture and fixtures | &nbsp;&nbsp;2 to 5 years |
| Leasehold improvements | &nbsp;&nbsp;Lesser of useful life or lease term |
| Internal-use software | &nbsp;&nbsp;1 to 10 years |

---

The Company capitalizes direct costs of materials and services utilized in developing or obtaining internal-use software. The Company also capitalizes payroll and payroll-related costs for employees who are directly associated with and who devote time to the development of software products for internal use, to the extent of the time spent directly on the project. Capitalization of costs begins during the application development stage and ends when the software is available for general use. Costs incurred during the preliminary project and post-implementation stages are charged to expense as incurred.

Additionally, the Company capitalizes implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract. The capitalized implementation costs related to a cloud computing arrangement are amortized over the term of the arrangement. Capitalized implementation costs are included in "Other assets" in the consolidated balance sheet and are amortized over the terms of the arrangements, which range between 1 and 10 years.

***Intangible Assets, net***

The Company's intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the following estimated weighted average useful lives:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Developed technology | &nbsp;&nbsp;7 years |
| Trademarks | &nbsp;&nbsp;9 years |
| Customer relationships | &nbsp;&nbsp;8 years |

---

The Company periodically reassesses the useful lives of its definite-lived intangible assets when events or circumstances indicate that useful lives have significantly changed from the previous estimate.

***Leases***

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception by evaluating if the asset is explicitly or implicitly identified or distinct, if the Company will receive substantially all of the economic benefit or if the lessor has an economic benefit and the ability to substitute the asset. Right-of-use ("ROU") assets represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company's obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. The Company assesses whether the lease is an operating or finance lease at its inception. Operating lease liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of the lease payments over the lease term. As the rate implicit in the lease is generally not readily determinable for the Company's operating leases, the discount rates used to determine the present value of the Company's lease liabilities are based on the Company's incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date and commensurate with the remaining lease term. The incremental borrowing rate for a lease is the rate of interest the Company would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term for an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The operating lease ROU asset is the initial lease liability adjusted for any prepayments, initial indirect costs incurred by the Company, and lease incentives. The Company's operating leases are included in "Operating lease right-of-use assets," and "Operating lease liabilities" on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company does not have any material leases, individually or in the aggregate, classified as a finance leasing arrangement. Additionally, leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the Company's consolidated balance sheet and expenses for these leases are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Company incurred impairment charges related to operating lease right-of-use assets of $4.2 million for the period from January 15, 2025, to June 30, 2025, related to costs associated with planned facility closures that will continue to be incurred under the contract for its remaining term without economic benefit to the Company.

***Long-lived asset impairment***

The Company regularly reviews long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset group may not be recoverable. The Company compares the sum of estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset group to the carrying value of the asset group. When the carrying value of the asset group exceeds its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, the Company recognizes an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying value of the asset group exceeds the fair value of the asset group.

As a result of filing the Prepackaged Chapter 11 Case on November 13, 2024, the Company determined a triggering event existed as of December 31, 2024, indicating the carrying amount of the Company's asset groups may not be recoverable. Therefore, the Company performed an evaluation of its assets for impairment. For the UACC asset group, as the carrying value of the asset group did not exceed the estimated undiscounted future cash flows, the asset group was deemed recoverable, and no impairment charges were recognized. For the CarStory asset group, the carrying value of the asset group exceeded the estimated undiscounted future cash flows, however, it did not exceed the estimated fair value, as such, no impairment charges were recognized. The Company determined there were no triggering events as of June 30, 2025.

***Income Taxes*** 

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method. The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis, as well as for operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. The Company measures deferred tax assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which the Company expects to recover or settle those temporary differences. The Company recognizes the effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities in the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company reduces the measurement of a deferred tax asset, if necessary, by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize some or all of the deferred tax asset. The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions by recognizing the financial statement effects of a tax position only when, based upon technical merits, it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon

examination. Potential interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax positions are recognized in income tax expense.

On July 4, 2025, new U.S tax legislation was signed into law (known as the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" or "OBBBA") which makes permanent many of the tax provisions enacted in 2017 as part of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act that were set to expire at the end of 2025. In addition, the OBBBA makes changes to certain U.S. corporate tax provisions, but many are generally not effective until 2026. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new legislation but does not expect it to have a material impact on the results of operations.

***Stock-Based Compensation*** 

The Company recognizes the cost of employee services received in exchange for stock awards based on the fair value of those awards at the date of grant over the requisite service period. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur. For awards earned based on performance or upon occurrence of a contingent event, if the award is deemed probable of being earned, related compensation expense is recorded over the estimated service period. If an award is not considered probable of being earned, no amount of stock-based compensation is recognized. To the extent the estimate of awards considered probable of being earned changes, the amount of stock-based compensation recognized will also change.

The Company uses the Black-Scholes-Merton ("Black-Scholes") option pricing model to determine the fair value of its stock options. Estimating the fair value of stock options requires the input of subjective assumptions, including the estimated fair value of the Company's common stock, the expected life of the options, stock price volatility, which is determined based on the historical volatilities of several publicly listed peer companies as the Company has only a short trading history for its common stock, the risk-free interest rate and expected dividends. The assumptions used in the Company's Black-Scholes option-pricing model represent management's best estimates and involve a number of variables, uncertainties and assumptions and the application of management's judgment, as they are inherently subjective.

***Concentration of Credit Risk and Significant Customers*** 

The Company's principal financial instruments subject to potential concentration of credit risk are cash and cash equivalents and finance receivables. The Company's cash balances are maintained at various large, reputable financial institutions. Deposits held with financial institutions may at times exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. Generally, these deposits may be redeemed upon demand and, therefore, management believes they bear minimal risk. The Company's cash equivalents primarily consist of money market funds that hold investments in highly liquid U.S. government securities. Concentration of credit risk with respect to finance receivables is generally mitigated by a large consumer base.

UACC's customers, in this instance, are the third-party automotive dealers through which it purchases or acquires retail installment sale contracts for consumers. CarStory's customers are dealers, automotive financial services companies and others in the automotive industry who purchase CarStory's digital retailing services. For the periods presented, no customer represented 10% or more of the Company's income and no customer represented more than 10% of the Company's finance receivables as of June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024.

***Liquidity*** 

On January 14, 2025, the Company emerged from the Prepackaged Chapter 11 Case, as discussed in Note 1 — Description of Business and Basis of Presentation. On the Effective Date, each holder of the Notes received a pro rata share of 92.94% of the New Common Stock (subject to dilution) and all of the Company's outstanding obligations under the Notes and the Indenture were deemed fully satisfied and discharged. Vroom, Inc. no longer has long-term debt, but UACC has securitization debt and their trust preferred securities.

As of June 30, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $14.3 million and restricted cash of $52.9 million. Restricted cash primarily includes restricted cash required under UACC's securitization transactions and Warehouse Credit Facilities (as defined below) of $52.0 million. The Company has historically had negative cash flows

**VROOM, INC.** 

**NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** 

**(unaudited)**

and generated losses from operations and the Company's primary source of liquidity has been cash generated through financing activities.

As of June 30, 2025, UACC had four credit facilities, with an aggregate borrowing limit of $800.0 million, and outstanding borrowings of $205.8 million with excess borrowing capacity of $16.6 million. The terms of the facilities generally matured within one to two years and the Company typically renews the facilities in the ordinary course. On March 8, 2025, the Company renewed one of its Warehouse Credit Facilities (as defined below), now expiring June 2026. The aggregate borrowing limit and other significant terms of the agreement remained unchanged except for an increase in the minimum liquidity covenant. On March 28, 2025, the Company renewed another one of its Warehouse Credit Facilities, now expiring in April 2027. The aggregate borrowing limit under this facility decreased from $225.0 million to $200.0 million and all other significant terms of the agreement remained unchanged. As of June 30, 2025, the remaining Warehouse Credit Facilities had terms expiring between July and August 2025. As of June 30, 2025, the Company was in compliance with all covenants related to the Warehouse Credit Facilities. Refer to Note 10 - Warehouse Credit Facilities and Consolidated VIEs and Note 20 - Subsequent events for further details.

Failure to secure warehouse borrowing capacity beyond their expiration or failure to satisfy the covenants therein and or any other requirements contained within the agreements would restrict access to the Warehouse Credit Facilities and would have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations and liquidity of the Company. Certain breaches of covenants may also result in acceleration of the repayment of borrowings prior to the scheduled maturity. Refer to Note 10 — Warehouse Credit Facilities of Consolidated VIEs for further details.

On March 8, 2025, Vroom, Inc., UACC and its indirect subsidiary Darkwater Funding LLC, as co-borrowers, entered into a credit agreement for a $25.0 million delayed draw term loan facility ("Delayed Draw Facility"), which matures on December 31, 2026, with Mudrick Capital Management, L.P. ("Lender"), who is a 76.5% shareholder of the Company, and as of January 14, 2025, became a related party. Refer to Note 19 — Related Party Transactions for further details. As of June 30, 2025, the Company did not have any drawdowns on the Delayed Draw Facility.

The Company expects to use cash and cash equivalents to finance future capital requirements and UACC's Warehouse Credit Facilities to fund finance receivables. Certain advance rates available to UACC on borrowings from the Warehouse Credit Facilities have decreased and any future decreases on available advance rates may have an adverse impact on the Company's liquidity.

Upon the Company's emergence from Prepackaged Chapter 11 Case on January 14, 2025, the Company continues to operate as a viable going concern. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Company will continue to operate as a going concern, which contemplates that it will be able to realize assets and settle liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business for twelve months following the issuance date.

The Company's future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the ability to realize the intended benefits of the Value Maximization Plan, Prepackaged Chapter 11 Case, and Long-Term-Strategic Plan, available advance rates on and the renewal of the Warehouse Credit Facilities, the ability to meet the requirements for continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Market, the ability to complete additional securitization transactions on terms favorable to the Company, and future credit losses. The Company anticipates that existing cash and cash equivalents, the credit agreement with Mudrick Capital Management, L.P., and UACC's Warehouse Credit Facilities will be sufficient to support the Company's ongoing operations and obligations, for at least the next twelve months from the date of issuance of the condensed consolidated financial statements.

***Net (Loss) Income Per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders*** 

Basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is presented in conformity with the two-class method required for participating securities. Under the two-class method, net loss is attributed to common stockholders and participating securities based on their participation rights. Under the two-class method, the net loss attributable to common stockholders is not allocated to the preferred stock as the holders of the Company's preferred stock do not have a contractual obligation to share in the Company's losses. Under the two-class method, basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. For periods in which the

------

**VROOM, INC.** 

**NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** 

**(unaudited)**

Company reports net losses, diluted net loss per common share attributable to common stockholders is the same as basic net loss per common share attributable to common stockholders because potentially dilutive common shares are not assumed to have been issued if their effect is anti-dilutive.

***Accounting Standards Adopted*** 

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires disclosure of incremental segment information on an annual and interim basis, primarily through enhanced disclosures of significant segment expenses. The Company adopted the guidance for fiscal year beginning January 1, 2024, on a retroactive basis, which did not have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. Refer to Note 17 — Segment Information for further details.

***Accounting Standards Issued but Not Yet Adopted***

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, *Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures*, which requires disclosure of incremental income tax information within the rate reconciliation and expanded disclosures of income taxes paid, among other disclosure requirements. The guidance will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this guidance will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, *Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (DISE)*, which requires additional disclosure of the nature of expenses included in the income statement in response to longstanding requests from investors for more information about an entity's expenses. The new standard requires disclosures about specific types of expenses included in the expense captions presented on the face of the income statement as well as disclosures about selling expenses. The guidance will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The requirements will be applied prospectively with the option for retrospective application. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this guidance will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

**3. Revenue Recognition**

The Company's revenue is disaggregated within the condensed consolidated statements of operations and is generated from consumers throughout the United States.

***Interest Income***

The Company's interest income is related to finance receivables originated by UACC for its network of third-party dealership customers and vehicle financing UACC offered to Vroom's customers through its ecommerce platform prior to the Ecommerce Wind-down.

Upon emergence from the Prepackaged Chapter 11 Case, and application of fresh start accounting, the Company made an accounting policy election to recognize discount income on finance receivables held for investment at fair value as a component of "Realized and unrealized losses, net of recoveries". In the Predecessor periods discount income on finance receivables held for investment at fair value was recognized as a component of "Interest income" on the Company's condensed consolidated statement of operations. The discount income represents the amortization of unearned acquisition discounts over the contractual life of the underlying finance receivables using the interest method. Interest income on each automotive finance receivable is calculated based on the finance receivable's outstanding principal balance multiplied by the contractual interest rate.

An account is considered delinquent if a scheduled payment has not been received by the date such payment was contractually due. Interest income deemed uncollectible is reversed at the time the finance receivable is charged off. Finance receivables over 90 days delinquent are considered nonaccrual finance receivables. Income is subsequently recognized only to the extent cash payments are received until the borrower is able to make periodic interest and principal payments in accordance with the finance receivable terms.

**(unaudited)**

***Servicing Income***

Servicing income represents the annual fees earned on the outstanding principal balance of the finance receivables serviced as well as late charges, collection payments, and other fees. Fees are earned monthly at an annual rate of approximately 4%, for the 2022-1 securitization transaction, of the outstanding principal balance of the finance receivables serviced. Late charges and other fees are calculated at predetermined amounts or percentages of overdue finance receivable balances and are recorded on a cash basis. Refer to Note 4 — Variable Interest Entities and Securitizations for further details.

***Warranties and GAP income, net***

Prior to the Ecommerce Wind-Down, the Company offered third-party financing and third-party value-added products such as vehicle service contracts, guaranteed asset protection ("GAP") and tire and wheel coverage, to its used vehicle customers pursuant to arrangements with the third parties that sell and administered these products and are responsible for their fulfillment.

UACC also offers third-party vehicle service contracts and United Auto Credit GAP to consumers who obtain financing through UACC. United Auto Credit GAP is a debt waiver product that is underwritten directly by UACC. It provides protection for consumers who purchase the product by waiving the difference between the actual cash value of the consumer's vehicle and the balance of the consumer's contract, subject to the terms and conditions of the United Auto Credit GAP, in the event of a total loss resulting from collision or theft. The total fees are earned over the contractual life of the related finance receivables on straight-line basis.

The Company concluded that it is an agent for any transactions with third-parties because it does not control the products before they are transferred to the consumer. The Company recognizes revenue on a net basis when the consumer enters into an arrangement for the products.

A portion of the fees earned on third-party financing and value-added products are subject to chargebacks in the event of early termination, default, or prepayment of the contracts by end-customers. The Company's exposure for these events is limited to the fees that it receives. An estimated refund liability for chargebacks against the revenue recognized from sales of these products is recorded in the period in which the related revenue is recognized and is based primarily on the Company's historical chargeback experience. The Company updates its estimates at each reporting date. As of June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the Company's reserve for chargebacks was $9.3 million and $9.1 million, respectively, which are included within "Other liabilities" in the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The Company also is contractually entitled to receive profit-sharing revenues based on the performance of the vehicle service policies once a required claims period has passed. The Company recognizes profit-sharing revenues to the extent it is probable that it will not result in a significant revenue reversal. The Company estimates the revenue based on historical claims and cancellation data from its customers, as well as other qualitative assumptions. The Company reassesses the estimate at each reporting period with any changes reflected as an adjustment to warranties and GAP income in the period identified. As of June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the Company recognized $10.2 million and $11.0 million, respectively, related to cumulative profit-sharing payments to which it expects to be entitled, which are included within "Other assets" in the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets.

***CarStory Revenue*** 

CarStory generates advertiser, publisher and other user service revenue. The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been performed, collection of the fees is reasonably assured, the fees are fixed or determinable, and no significant obligations by the Company remain. Generally, this results in revenues billed and recorded monthly in the month that services were performed and earned.

Deferred revenue includes advances received from customers in excess of revenue recognized.

**NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** 

**(unaudited)**

The Company may collect sales taxes and other taxes and government fees from customers on behalf of governmental authorities at the time of sale as required. These taxes are accounted for on a net basis and are not included in revenues or cost of sales.

**4. Variable Interest Entities and Securitizations** 

A VIE is an entity that either (i) has insufficient equity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, or (ii) has equity investors who lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. The Company consolidates VIEs for which it is the primary beneficiary. The Company is the primary beneficiary of a VIE when it has both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. Assets recognized as a result of consolidating VIEs do not represent additional assets that could be used to satisfy claims against the Company's general assets. Liabilities recognized as a result of consolidating VIEs do not represent additional claims on the Company's general assets, rather they represent claims against the specific assets of the consolidated VIEs.

UACC has the power to direct significant activities of its VIEs when it has the ability to exercise discretion in the servicing of financial assets or control investment decisions. UACC generally retains a portion of the economic interests in UACC-sponsored asset-backed securitization transactions, which could be retained in the form of a portion of the senior interests, the subordinated interests, residual interests, or servicing rights.

UACC has developed a securitization program that involves selling finance receivables to securitization trusts through the private issuance of asset-backed securities which are collateralized by the finance receivables. UACC establishes and sponsors these transactions which create and pass along risks to the variable interest holders, specifically, consumer credit risk and pre-payment risk.

The securitization trusts established in connection with asset-backed securitization transactions are VIEs. For each VIE that UACC establishes in its role as sponsor of securitization transactions, the Company performs an analysis to determine if it is the primary beneficiary of the VIE.

UACC has no obligation to repurchase or replace any securitized asset that subsequently becomes delinquent in payment or otherwise is in default, except when representations and warranties about the eligibility of the securitized assets are breached, or when certain changes are made to the underlying asset contracts. Securitization investors have no recourse to UACC or its other assets and have no right to require UACC to repurchase the investments. UACC has no obligation to provide liquidity or contribute cash or additional assets to the VIEs and does not guarantee any asset-backed securities.

During the six months ended June 30, 2025, UACC completed the 2025-1 securitization transaction, in which it issued approximately $307.8 million of rated asset-backed securities in an auto finance receivable securitization transaction from a securitization trust, established and sponsored by UACC for proceeds of $306.5 million. The trust was collateralized by finance receivables with an aggregate principal balance of $382.1 million as of March 12, 2025. These finance receivables are serviced by UACC and UACC receives an "at market" servicing fee. The Company retained the residual interests, which required the Company to account for the 2025-1 securitization as secured borrowings and the assets and liabilities of the trust remain on balance sheet.

In 2024, UACC completed the 2024-1 securitization transaction, in which it issued rated asset-backed securities, for proceeds of $297.2 million. UACC still retains the residual interests related to the 2024-1 securitization transaction and therefore consolidated the 2024-1 VIE and accounted for this transaction as secured borrowings. The trust was collateralized by finance receivables with an aggregate principal balance of $380.1 million as of April 30, 2024. These finance receivables are serviced by UACC. UACC retained the servicing rights to these finance receivables and receives an "at market" servicing fee. The Company also repurchased $4.2 million of the non-investment grade securities related to the 2022-2 securitization transaction for $4.8 million.

UACC is the primary beneficiary of the 2025-1, 2024-1, 2023-1, and 2022-2 securitization trusts, as it has both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. UACC also retained a portion of the economic interests in the 2025-1, 2024-1, and 2023-1, asset-backed securitization transactions,

------

[**<u>**Table of Contents**</u>**](#toc_page)

**VROOM, INC.** 

**NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** 

**(unaudited)**

in the form of residual interests in accordance with Regulation RR of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the "Risk Retention Rules"). The Risk Retention Rules require the Company to retain at least 5% of the beneficial interests issued by the securitization trusts. Refer to Note 11 — Long Term Debt for further details.

The VIE model allows for a measurement alternative when a reporting entity elects the fair value option and consolidates a collateralized financing entity ("CFE"). This measurement alternative eliminates the accounting mismatch that may arise from measurement differences between the CFE's financial assets and third-party financial liabilities in earnings and attributes those earnings to the controlling equity interest in the condensed consolidated income statement. The 2025-1, 2023-1, and 2022-2 securitization trusts consolidated by UACC meet the definition of a CFE and the Company has elected to apply the measurement alternative when consolidating these VIEs. Upon emergence from the Prepackaged Chapter 11 Case, and application of fresh start accounting, the Successor made an accounting policy election to apply the measurement alternative to the 2024-1 CFE. Refer to Note 15 — Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements for further details.

As of June 30, 2025, UACC had four senior secured warehouse credit facilities. Through trusts, UACC entered into warehouse facility agreements with certain banking institutions, primarily to finance the purchase and origination of finance receivables as well as to provide funding for general operating activities. These trusts are secured by eligible finance receivables which are pledged as collateral for the warehouse facilities. These trusts are consolidated VIEs. Refer to Note 10 — Warehouse Credit Facilities of Consolidated VIEs <u>and Note 20 - Subsequent events</u> for further details.

<sup>1 Refer to Note 10 – Warehouse Credit Facilities of Consolidated VIEs for further details.</sup>

UACC establishes securitization trusts to purchase finance receivables. The securitization trusts issue asset-backed securities, which are collateralized by the finance receivables that UACC sells to the securitization trusts. Upon sale of the finance receivables to the securitization trusts, the Company recognizes a gain or loss on sales of finance receivables if it determines it qualifies for sale accounting treatment and it is not the primary beneficiary of the VIE or accounts for these securitization transactions as secured borrowings when it is the primary beneficiary.

In February 2022, UACC sold a pool of finance receivables in the 2022-1 securitization transaction. UACC retained the servicing rights to these finance receivables and receives an "at market" servicing fee. UACC retained an insignificant amount of the asset-backed securities issued in the securitization in order to comply with Risk Retention Rules. The 2022-1 securitization trust is a VIE that the Company does not consolidate. As the servicer, UACC retained the power to direct the activities that are most significant to the entities, however, the Company concluded that it is not the primary beneficiary of the 2022-1 securitization trust because UACC retained interests in the VIE are insignificant. The

**NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** 

**(unaudited)**

beneficial interest retained by UACC included rated notes and unrated residual certificates issued by the 2022-1 securitization trust.

As of June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the assets UACC retains in the unconsolidated VIEs were approximately $1.4 million and $2.2 million, respectively, and are included in "Other assets" in the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheet. The beneficial interests in securitizations are subject to restrictions on transfer pursuant to UACC's obligations as a sponsor under Risk Retention Rules. These securities are interests in securitization trusts, thus there are no contractual maturities. During 2023, the Company entered into a Risk Retention Financing Facility to finance the majority of its retained beneficial interests in securitizations. Refer to Note 11 — Long Term Debt for further details.

The following table summarizes the amortized cost, the carrying amount, which is the fair value, and the maximum exposure to losses of UACC's assets related to the unconsolidated VIE (in thousands):

Total exposure represents the estimated loss UACC would incur under severe, hypothetical circumstances, such as if the value of the interests in the securitization trusts and any associated collateral declined to zero. The Company believes the possibility of this is remote. As such, the total exposure presented above is not an indication of the Company's expected losses.

**5. Discontinued Operations**

As discussed in Note 1 — Description of Business and Basis of Presentation, the Ecommerce Wind-Down was substantially completed as of March 29, 2024. The Company's ecommerce operations were previously a reportable segment and the exit represents a strategic shift that had a major effect on the Company's operations and financial results. Therefore, in accordance with ASC 205, as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company reported the ecommerce operations and used vehicle dealership business as discontinued operations.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company incurred charges of approximately $0.9 million and $15.6 million, respectively for severance and other personnel-related costs and approximately $1.6 million and $13.5 million, respectively for contract and lease termination costs as a result of the Ecommerce Wind-Down recorded in "Net loss from discontinued operations" in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

**6. Fresh Start Accounting**

As discussed in Note 1 — Description of Business and Basis of Presentation, on November 13, 2024, the Company commenced the Prepackaged Chapter 11 Case. On January 14, 2025, the Effective Date, the conditions to the effectiveness of the Plan were satisfied or waived and the Plan became effective. On January 14, 2025, the Company emerged from the Prepackaged Chapter 11 Case. On the Effective Date, each holder of the Notes received a pro rata share of 92.94% of the New Common Stock, (subject to dilution) and all of the Company's outstanding obligations under the Notes and the Indenture were deemed fully satisfied and discharged. There were no other creditors of the Company impaired in connection with the Prepackaged Chapter 11 Case.

The Company adopted an Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the "Certificate of Incorporation") to, among other changes to its prior amended and restated certificate of incorporation, effect an automatic conversion of the Common Stock at a ratio of 1-for-5. As a result of the automatic conversion and the issuance of shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Plan, there were approximately 5,163,109 outstanding shares of the New Common Stock as of the Effective Date.

On the Effective Date, the Company entered into the Warrant Agreement with Equiniti Trust Company LLC, as warrant agent. In accordance with the Plan and pursuant to the Warrant Agreement, on the Effective Date, the Company issued the Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 364,516 shares of the New Common Stock, at an exercise price of $60.95 per share, to stockholders of the Predecessor in accordance with the Prepackaged Chapter 11 Case. Each Warrant was immediately exercisable upon the issuance date and will expire five years from the issuance date.

In connection with the emergence from the Prepackaged Chapter 11 Case and in accordance with ASC Topic 852, the Company qualified for and adopted fresh start accounting on the Effective Date. The Company was required to adopt fresh start accounting because (i) the holders of existing voting shares of the Predecessor received less than 50% of the voting shares of the Successor Company, and (ii) the reorganization value of the assets immediately prior to confirmation of the Plan was less than the post-petition liabilities and allowed claims. In accordance with ASC Topic 852, with the application of fresh start accounting, the Company allocated its equity value to its individual assets and liabilities based on their estimated fair values. As a result of the application of fresh start accounting and the effects of the implementation of the Plan, the condensed consolidated financial statements after January 14, 2025, are not comparable with the condensed consolidated financial statements as of or prior to that date.

***Reorganization Value***

In accordance with ASC Topic 852, with the application of fresh start accounting, the Company allocates the equity value to its individual assets and liabilities based on their estimated fair values in conformity with ASC Topic 820, Fair Value.

As set forth in the Plan and the disclosure statement, the value of the Successor Company was assigned to its equity and estimated to be between $115.6 million and $179.4 million. Based on the estimates and assumptions discussed below, the Company estimated the Successor's equity value to be $164.5 million for financial reporting purposes, which is within the range of equity value per the Plan. The Company estimated the enterprise value and corresponding equity value utilizing two valuation methods: a comparable public company analysis, and a discounted cash flow ("DCF") method.

The DCF analysis is a forward-looking enterprise valuation methodology that estimates fair value by calculating the present value of expected future cash flows to be generated plus a present value of the estimated terminal value. The Company established an estimate of future cash flows through December 31, 2029, based on the financial projections and assumptions utilized in the Company's disclosure statement to the Plan, which were derived from earnings forecasts and assumptions regarding growth and profit projections. A terminal value was calculated using the constant growth method based on the projected cash flows for the final year of the forecast period. The cash flow assumptions used in the DCF analysis reflected the Company's best estimates at the time the analysis was prepared.

The selected public companies analysis is based on the enterprise values of selected publicly traded companies that have operating and financial characteristics comparable in certain respects to the Company. Under this methodology, certain financial multiples that measure financial performance and value are calculated for the selected company. A reference range was determined utilizing such multiples and is applied to certain of the Company's financial metrics to imply an estimated equity value for the business.

The following table reconciles the enterprise value to the estimated fair value of the Successor Common Stock as of the Effective Date (in thousands, except per share data):

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Enterprise value | $832727 |

The reconciliation of the Company's enterprise value to reorganization value as of the Effective Date is as follows: (in thousands):

|:---|:---|
| Enterprise value | $832727 |
| Plus: |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Cash and cash equivalents | 35352 |

| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Other liabilities | 61536 |
| Reorganization value of Successor assets | $955704 |

The enterprise value and corresponding equity value are dependent upon achieving the future financial results set forth in the Company's projections, as well as the realization of certain other assumptions. All estimates, assumptions, valuations and financial projections, including the fair value adjustments, the financial projections, the enterprise value and equity value projections, are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and the resolution of contingencies beyond the Company's control. Accordingly, the Company cannot assure that the estimates, assumptions, valuations or financial projections will be realized and actual results could vary materially.

The results of the Company's analysis indicated that the principal assets requiring fair value adjustments on the Effective Date include finance receivables held for sale, identified intangible assets and leased assets. Further detail regarding the valuation process is described below.

***Finance receivables held for sale, net***

As of the Effective Date, the finance receivables held for sale, net were reclassified to finance receivables at fair value, refer to Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for further details. To estimate the fair value of the finance receivables the Company utilized the valuation methodologies which are used to value finance receivables at fair value on a recurring basis. Refer to the Fair Value of Financial Instruments Not Carried at Fair Value section in Note 15 — Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements for further details.

***Intangible Assets***

**NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** 

**(unaudited)**

The identified intangible assets of $14.2 million, which principally consisted of technology, trade names and trademarks, and customer relationships were estimated based on either the cost approach, relief from royalty or multi-period excess earnings methods. Significant assumptions for identified intangibles included royalty rates, discount rates, margins, attrition rates, revenue growth rates, and economic lives. Such fair value measurement of intangible assets is considered Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

For the technology-based intangibles that were valued using the relief from royalty income approach, the royalty rate was estimated to be 5.0% and the discount rate 25%. For the technology-based intangibles that were valued using the cost approach, the margin was estimated to be 8.5%. For trade names and trademarks valued under the relief from royalty income approach, the royalty rate was estimated to be 0.5% and the discount rate 25%. For customer-related intangible assets that were valued using the multi-period excess earnings method, the attrition rate was estimated to be 10% and the discount rate 25%.

***Lease Liabilities and Right of Use Assets***

The present value of lease liabilities was measured as the present value of the remaining lease payments, as if the leases were new leases as of the Effective Date. The Company used its incremental borrowing rate ("IBR") as the discount rate in determining the present value of the remaining lease payments using a fundamental credit rating analysis. Based upon the corresponding lease terms, the IBRs ranged between approximately 6.2% - 7.6%. Right of use asset values were estimated based on the lease liability.

***Consolidated Balance Sheet*** 

The adjustments set forth in the following condensed consolidated balance sheet as of January 14, 2025 reflect the effects of the transactions contemplated by the Plan and executed on the Effective date (reflected in the column "Reorganization Adjustments"), and fair value and other required accounting adjustments resulting from the adoption of fresh start accounting (reflected in the column "Fresh Start Accounting Adjustments"), (in thousands):

As of June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the Company's weighted average interest rate on the Warehouse Credit Facilities borrowings was approximately 5.99% and 6.32%, respectively.

On March 8, 2025, the Company renewed Facility Two, now expiring June 2026. The aggregate borrowing limit and significant terms of the agreement remained unchanged except for an increase in the minimum liquidity covenant. On March 28, 2025, the Company renewed Facility Four, now expiring in April 2027. The aggregate borrowing limit under this facility decreased from $225.0 million to $200.0 million and all other significant terms of the agreement remained unchanged. See Note 20 - Subsequent events for further details for Facility One.

The Company's ability to utilize its Warehouse Credit Facilities is primarily conditioned on the satisfaction of certain legal, operating, administrative and financial covenants contained within the agreements. These include covenants that require UACC to maintain a minimum tangible net worth, minimum liquidity levels, specified leverage ratios and certain indebtedness levels. Failure to satisfy these or any other requirements contained within the agreements would restrict access to the Warehouse Credit Facilities. Certain breaches of covenants may also result in acceleration of the repayment of borrowings prior to the scheduled maturity. As of June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all covenants related to the Warehouse Credit Facilities.

***Convertible Senior Notes***

On June 18, 2021, the Company issued $625.0 million aggregate principal amount of 0.75% unsecured Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 (the "Notes"), including $75.0 million aggregate principal amount of such notes pursuant to the exercise in full of the overallotment option granted to the initial purchasers. The Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture (the "Indenture"), between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee.

On November 13, 2024, the Company commenced the Prepackaged Chapter 11 Case. On the Effective Date, the conditions to the effectiveness of the Plan were satisfied or waived and the Plan became effective. On January 14, 2025, the Company emerged from the Prepackaged Chapter 11 Case. On the Effective Date, each holder of the Notes received a pro rata share of 92.94% of the New Common Stock, as defined below, and all of the Company's outstanding obligations under the Notes and the Indenture were deemed fully satisfied and discharged.

The filing of the Prepackaged Chapter 11 Case constituted an event of default, resulting in the immediate acceleration of the Company's obligations to pay approximately $291.6 million in principal and interest under the Indenture. The Indenture provided that, as a result of the filing of the Prepackaged Chapter 11 Case, the principal, premium, if any, accrued and unpaid interest and any other monetary obligations due thereunder would be immediately due and payable. However, any enforcement of such payment obligations was stayed as a result of the filing of the Prepackaged Chapter 11 Case and was subject to the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code. On January 14, 2025, the Effective Date, by operation of the Plan, all outstanding obligations under the Notes and the Indenture were deemed fully satisfied and discharged.

Prior to the Effective Date, the Notes bore interest at a rate of 0.75% per annum, payable semiannually in arrears on January 1 and July 1 of each year, beginning on January 1, 2022.

The Company accounted for the Notes as a single liability-classified instrument measured at amortized cost. As a result of filing the bankruptcy petition, the Company wrote off the remaining unamortized debt discount and debt issuance costs of $2.4 million, recorded within "Reorganization items, net" on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The net carrying value was $290.5 million as of December 31, 2024.

The Notes were issued at par value and fees associated with the issuance of these Notes were amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the contractual term of the Notes. The interest expense was $0.9 million and $1.8 million for the for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. The effective interest rate of the Notes was 1.3% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.

***Securitization Debt of Consolidated VIEs***

The securitization debt was issued under UACC's securitization program. The Company elected to account for the 2022-2, 2023-1, and 2025-1 securitization debt under the fair value option using the measurement alternative. Upon emergence from the Prepackaged Chapter 11 Case, and application of fresh start accounting, the Company made an accounting policy election to apply the measurement alternative to the 2024-1 securitization debt. Fair value adjustments are recorded in "Realized and unrealized losses, net of recoveries" in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Refer to Note 15 — Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements. For the 2022-2, 2023-1, 2024-1, and 2025-1 securitization transactions, the Company consolidated the VIEs and accounted for these transactions as secured borrowings. Refer to Note 4 — Variable Interest Entities and Securitizations for further discussion.

UACC retained the residual interests in the 2023-1, 2024-1, and 2025-1 securitization transactions. UACC also retains the servicing rights for all finance receivables that were securitized; therefore, it is responsible for the administration and collection of the amounts owed under the contracts. In the first quarter of 2023, UACC waived its servicing fees related to the 2022-2 securitization and subsequently consolidated the 2022-2 trust. The securitization agreements also require certain funds to be held in restricted cash accounts to provide additional collateral for the borrowings or to be applied to make payments on the securitization debt. Restricted cash under the various agreements totaled approximately $42.4 million and $29.2 million as of June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively.

Wholly owned bankruptcy remote subsidiaries of UACC were formed to facilitate the above asset-backed financing transactions. Bankruptcy remote refers to a legal structure in which it is expected that the applicable entity would not be included in any bankruptcy filing by its parent or affiliates. All of the assets of these subsidiaries have been pledged as collateral for the related debt. None of the assets of these subsidiaries are available to pay other creditors of the Company or its affiliates.

The securitization debt issued is included in "Long-term debt" on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The securitization debt of consolidated VIEs consisted of the following (in thousands):

***Risk Retention Financing Facility***

On May 3, 2023, UACC entered into a Risk Retention Financing Facility enabling it to finance a portion of its asset-backed securities issued in its securitization transactions and held by UACC, pursuant to applicable Risk Retention Rules. Under this facility, UACC sells such retained interests and agrees to repurchase them on a future date. As of June 30, 2025, UACC pledged $31.7 million of its retained beneficial interests as collateral, and the outstanding borrowings related to this risk retention financing facility were $26.8 million, with expected repurchase dates ranging from June 2027 to October 2031. The securitization trusts will distribute payments related to UACC's pledged beneficial interests in securitizations directly to the lender, which will reduce the beneficial interests in securitizations and the related debt balance. Pledged collateral levels are monitored and are generally maintained at an agreed-upon percentage of the fair value of the amounts borrowed during the life of the transactions. In the event of a decline in the fair value of the pledged collateral, UACC may be required to transfer cash or additional securities as pledged under this facility. At the termination of this agreement, UACC is obligated to return the amounts borrowed.

The outstanding balance of this facility, net of unamortized debt issuance costs, was $26.7 million and $17.7 million as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, and is included in "Long-term debt" on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the fair value of the collateral pledged under this facility was $27.0 million and $18.3 million, respectively.

***Junior Subordinated Debentures***

On July 31, 2003, UACC issued junior subordinated debentures (trust preferred securities) of $10.0 million through a subsidiary, UPFC Trust I. The trust issuer is a wholly owned finance subsidiary and the securities are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Vroom Automotive Finance Corporation. The interest is paid quarterly at a variable rate, equal to SOFR + 3.05%. The final maturity of these securities is on October 7, 2033; however, they can be called at par any time at the Company's discretion.

**12. Commitments and Contingencies** 

***Litigation***

From time to time, the Company is involved in various claims and legal actions that arise in the ordinary course of business and an unfavorable resolution of any of these matters could materially affect the Company's future results of operations, cash flows or financial position. On November 13, 2024, the Company commenced the Prepackaged Chapter 11 Case under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the Bankruptcy Court, under the name *In re Vroom, Inc*., Case No. 24-90571 (CML).

On January 8, 2025, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order (a) approving the Debtor's disclosure statement, (b) confirming the Prepackaged Plan of Reorganization of Vroom, Inc. under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code (the "Plan"), and (c) granting related relief. On January 14, 2025, the conditions to the effectiveness of the Plan were satisfied or waived and the Plan became effective, and the Company emerged from the Prepackaged Chapter 11 Case.

Additionally, from time to time, the Company is involved in various claims and legal actions that arise in the ordinary course of business and an unfavorable resolution of any of these matters could materially affect the Company's future results of operations, cash flows or financial position. The Company is also party to various disputes that the Company considers routine and incidental to its business. The Company does not expect the results of any of these routine actions to have a material effect on the Company's business, results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows. The Company accrues a liability when a loss is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. When a material loss contingency is reasonably possible but not probable, the Company does not record a liability, but instead discloses the nature and the amount of the claim, and an estimate of the loss or range of loss, if such an estimate can be made. Legal fees are expensed as incurred.

Beginning in March 2021, multiple putative class actions were filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York by certain of the Company's stockholders against the Company and certain of the Company's officers alleging violations of federal securities laws. The lawsuits were captioned Zawatsky et al. v. Vroom, Inc. et al., Case No.

21-cv-2477; Holbrook v. Vroom, Inc. et al., Case No. 21-cv-2551; and Hudda v. Vroom, Inc. et al., Case No. 21-cv-3296. All three of the lawsuits asserted similar claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act, and SEC Rule 10b-5. In each case, the named plaintiff(s) sought to represent a proposed class of all persons who purchased or otherwise acquired the Company's securities during a period from June 9, 2020 to March 3, 2021 (in the case of Holbrook and Hudda), or November 11, 2020 to March 3, 2021 (in the case of Zawatsky). In August 2021, the Court consolidated the cases under the new name In re: Vroom, Inc. Securities Litigation, Case No. 21-cv-2477, appointed a lead plaintiff and lead counsel and ordered a consolidated amended complaint to be filed. The court-appointed lead plaintiff subsequently filed a consolidated amended complaint that reasserts claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act, and SEC Rule 10b-5 against the Company and certain of the Company's officers, and added new claims under Sections 11, 12 and 15 of the Securities Act against the Company, certain of its officers, certain of its directors, and the underwriters of the Company's September 2020 secondary offering. On March 19, 2025, the Court entered an order granting Vroom's motion to dismiss all claims, and the plaintiffs elected not to file a motion to amend their complaint. Thereafter, on May 30, 2025, the Court entered a final judgment of dismissal, for which the time period to appeal has expired. Accordingly, the cases have been closed.

In August 2021, November 2021, January 2022, and February 2022, various Company stockholders filed purported shareholder derivative lawsuits on behalf of the Company in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York against certain of the Company's officers and directors, and nominally against the Company, alleging violations of the federal securities laws and breaches of fiduciary duty to the Company and/or related violations of Delaware law based on the same general course of conduct alleged in In re: Vroom, Inc. Securities Litigation. All four lawsuits have been consolidated under the case caption In re Vroom, Inc. Shareholder Derivative Litigation, Case No. 21-cv-6933, and the court has approved the parties' stipulation that the cases would remain stayed pending final resolution of In re: Vroom, Inc. Securities Litigation. The stockholders who filed these lawsuits have voluntarily dismissed their claims and these cases have been closed.

In April 2022 and April 2024, two of the Company's stockholders filed separate purported shareholder derivative lawsuits on behalf of the Company in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware against certain of the Company's officers and directors, and nominally against the Company, alleging violations of the federal securities law and breaches of fiduciary duty to the Company and/or related violations of Delaware law based on the same general course of conduct alleged in In re: Vroom, Inc. Securities Litigation. The case filed in April 2022 is captioned Godlu v. Hennessy et al., Case No. 22-cv-569, the case filed in April 2024 is captioned Hudda v. Hennessy et al. Case No. 24-cv-4499., and the court in each has approved the parties' stipulations that each case would remain stayed pending final resolution of In re: Vroom, Inc. Securities Litigation. The stockholders who filed these lawsuits have voluntarily dismissed their claims and these cases have been closed.

In April 2022, the Attorney General of Texas filed a petition on behalf of the State of Texas in the District Court of Travis County, Texas against the Company, alleging violation of the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices - Consumer Protection Act, Texas Business and Commerce Code § 17.41 et seq., based on alleged deficiencies and other issues in the Company's marketing of used vehicles and fulfillment of customer orders, including the titling and registration of sold vehicles. According to the petition, 80% of the customer complaints referenced in the petition were received in the 12 months prior to April 2022. The petition is captioned State of Texas v. Vroom Automotive LLC, and Vroom Inc., Case No. D-1-GN-001809. In May 2022, Vroom Automotive, LLC and the Attorney General of the State of Texas agreed to a temporary injunction in which Vroom Automotive, LLC agreed to adhere to its existing practice of possessing title for all vehicles it sells or advertises as available for sale on its ecommerce platform. In December 2023, Vroom, Inc., Vroom Automotive, LLC and the Attorney General of the State of Texas reached a final agreement to resolve all claims in the petition, without any admission of wrongdoing by either Vroom entity. Under the agreement, the Company agreed to pay a total of $2 million in civil penalties and $1 million in attorneys' fees, with the first half due in September 2024 and the remaining half due in September 2025, and abide permanently by an injunction of certain operational practices that were previously implemented.

As previously disclosed, the Company has been subject to audits, requests for information, investigations and other inquiries from its regulators. These regulatory matters could continue to progress into legal proceedings as well as enforcement actions. The Company has incurred fines in certain states and could continue to incur fines, penalties, restitution, or alterations in the Company's business practices, which in turn, could lead to increased business expenses, additional limitations on the Company's business activities and further reputational damage, although to date such

expenses have not had a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, cash flows, or results of operations.

***Other Matters*** 

The Company enters into agreements with third parties in the ordinary course of business that may contain indemnification provisions. In the event that an indemnification claim is asserted, the Company's liability, if any, would be limited by the terms of the applicable agreement. Historically, the Company has not incurred material costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to indemnification provisions.

**13. Preferred Stock and Stockholders' Equity**

As of December 31, 2024, the Company has registered an additional 264,299 shares of the Company's common stock to be issued pursuant to the 2020 Plan.

Pursuant to the Plan, the 2020 Plan was further amended on January 14, 2025, to increase the number of shares reserved for issuance under the 2020 Plan to account for the proposed post-emergence management incentive program, which accounts for 15% of the fully-diluted shares of New Common Stock as of immediately following the Effective Date, inclusive of the Warrants, the management incentive program and the converted existing equity awards: 10% will be allocated for awards of restricted stock units and 5% will be allocated for awards of stock options. The amended and restated 2020 Plan authorizes the issuance of: (i) 1,166,880 shares of common stock, (ii) any shares which are subject to awards under the prior plans which are forfeited or lapse unexercised and are not issued under the prior plans; and (iii) an annual increase on the first day of each calendar year beginning on January 1, 2022, and ending on and including January 1, 2030, equal to the lesser of (A) 4% of the shares outstanding (on an as-converted basis) on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year and (B) such smaller number of shares as determined by the Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee. As of June 30, 2025, there were 58,905 shares available for future issuance under the 2020 Plan.

On May 20, 2022, the Company adopted the 2022 Inducement Award Plan (the "Inducement Award Plan"). Awards under the Inducement Award Plan may only be granted to a newly hired employee who has not previously been an employee or a member of the Board or an employee who is being rehired following a bona fide period of non-employment by the Company, in each case as a material inducement to the employee's entering into employment. An aggregate of 7,500 shares of the Company's common stock are reserved for issuance under the Inducement Award Plan.

**15. Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements** 

U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. U.S. GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value and establishes the following three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

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

Level 2—Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted market prices in markets that are not active; or model-derived valuations or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities

Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities

***Items Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis*** 

The Company holds certain financial assets that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Upon emergence from the Prepackaged Chapter 11 Case, and application of fresh start accounting, the Company made an accounting policy election to elect the fair value option for all finance receivables on a prospective basis. Additionally, the Company elected the fair value option for the financial assets and liabilities of UACC's consolidated CFEs, and

beneficial interests in the 2022-1 securitization transaction. Under the fair value option allowable under ASC 825, "Financial Instruments" ("ASC 825"), the Company may elect to measure at fair value financial assets and liabilities that are not otherwise required to be carried at fair value. Subsequent changes in fair value for designated items are reported in earnings.

The following tables present the Company's financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands):

***Valuation Methodologies of Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis***

The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for financial instruments carried at fair value. These methodologies are applied to financial assets and liabilities across the fair value levels discussed above, and it is the observability of the inputs used that determines the appropriate level in the fair value hierarchy for the respective asset or liability.

*Money Market Funds:* Money market funds primarily consist of investments in highly liquid U.S. treasury securities, with original maturities of three months or less and are classified as Level 1. The Company determines the fair value of cash equivalents based on quoted prices in active markets.

*Financial assets and liabilities of CFEs:* In accordance with ASC 825, the Company has elected the fair value option, for the eligible financial assets and liabilities of the 2022-2, 2023-1, and 2025-1 consolidated CFEs in order to mitigate potential accounting mismatches between the carrying value of the financial assets and liabilities. To eliminate

**VROOM, INC.** 

**NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** 

**(unaudited)**

potential measurement differences, the Company elected the measurement alternative included in ASC 810-30, allowing the Company to measure both the financial assets and liabilities of a qualifying CFE using the fair value of either the CFE's financial assets or liabilities, whichever is more observable. Upon emergence from the Prepackaged Chapter 11 Case, and application of fresh start accounting, the Company made an accounting policy election to apply the measurement alternative to the 2024-1 consolidated CFE. Under the measurement alternative prescribed by ASC 810-30, the Company recognizes changes in the CFE's net assets, including changes in fair value adjustments and net interest earned, in its condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The Company is required to determine whether the fair value of the financial assets or the fair value of the financial liabilities of the eligible CFEs are more observable, but in either case, the methodology results in the fair value of the financial assets of the securitization trust being equal to the fair value of their liabilities. The Company determined that the fair value of the liabilities of the securitization CFEs are more observable, since market prices of their liabilities are based on non-binding quoted prices provided by broker dealers who make markets in similar financial instruments. The assets of the securitization CFEs are not readily marketable, and their fair value measurement requires information that may be limited in availability.

In determining the fair value of the securitization debt of consolidated CFEs, the broker dealers consider contractual cash payments and yields expected by market participants. Broker dealers also incorporate common market pricing methods, including a spread measurement to the treasury curve or interest rate swap curve as well as underlying characteristics of the particular security including ratings, coupon, collateral type and seasoning or age of the security. When the Company obtains prices from multiple broker dealers for the same security and has a consensus among them, it deems these fair values to be based on observable valuation inputs and classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Where a third-party broker dealer quote is not available, an internal model is utilized using unobservable inputs or if the Company has multiple quotes that are not within determined range, it classifies the securitization debt as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

The financial assets of the consolidated CFEs are an aggregate value derived from the fair value of the CFEs liabilities. The Company determined that CFEs finance receivables in their entirety should be classified as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

*Finance receivables at fair value:* Finance receivables at fair value represent finance receivables for which the Company elected the fair value option in accordance with ASC 825. The Company estimates the fair value of these receivables using a discounted cash flow model and incorporates key inputs that include prepayment speed, default rate, recovery rate, as well as certain macroeconomics events the Company believes market participants would consider relevant.

*Beneficial interests in securitization:* Beneficial interests in securitization relate to the 2022-1 securitization completed in February 2022 and include rated notes as well as certificates. The Company elected the fair value option on its beneficial interests in the 2022-1 securitization.

Beneficial interests may initially be classified as Level 2 if the transactions occur within close proximity to the end of each respective reporting period. Subsequently, similar to the securitization debt described above, fair value is determined by requesting a non-binding quote from broker dealers, or by utilizing market acceptable valuation models, such as discounted cash flows. Broker dealer quotes may be based on an income approach, which converts expected future cash flows to a single present value amount, with specific consideration of inputs relevant to particular security types. Such inputs may include ratings, collateral types, geographic concentrations, underlying loan vintages, delinquencies and defaults, loss severity assumptions, prepayments, and maturities. When the volume or level of market activity for a security is limited, certain inputs used to determine fair value may not be observable in the market. Broker dealer quotes may also be based on a market approach that considers recent transactions involving identical or similar securities. When the Company obtains prices from multiple broker dealers for the same security and has a consensus among them, it deems these fair values to be based on observable valuation inputs and classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Where a third-party broker dealer quote is not available, the Company utilizes an internally developed model using unobservable inputs. If internally developed models are utilized or if the Company has multiple quotes that are not within a consensus range of each other, the Company deems these securities to be classified as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

***Fair Value of Financial Instruments Not Carried at Fair Value***

The carrying amounts of restricted cash and other liabilities approximate fair value due to their short-term nature. The carrying value of the Warehouse Credit Facilities was determined to approximate fair value due to its short-term duration and variable interest rates that approximate prevailing interest rates as of each reporting period.

*Finance receivables held for sale, net:* For finance receivables eligible to be sold in a securitization, the Company determined the fair value of these finance receivables utilizing sales prices based on estimated securitization transactions, adjusted for transformation costs, risk and a normal profit margin associated with securitization transactions. Such fair value measurement is considered Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Upon emergence from the Prepackaged Chapter 11 Case, and application of fresh start accounting, the Company made an accounting policy election to elect the fair value option for all finance receivables held for sale, net. As of June 30, 2025, the Company did not have any finance receivables held for sale, net. As of December 31, 2024, the carrying value and fair value of the finance receivables held for sale, net were $114.6 million.

For finance receivables sold in a securitization, the Company determined the fair value of these finance receivables by estimating the proceeds that would be generated from selling the notes and the residual interests in the securitization trust. The fair value of the notes was determined utilizing non-binding quoted prices provided by broker dealers, as discussed above, and the Company used a discounted cash flow model to estimate the fair value of the residual interests in the trust. Such fair value measurement is considered Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. As of June 30, 2025, there were no finance receivables held for sale, net that were sold in a securitization. As of December 31, 2024, the carrying value and fair value of the finance receivables held for sale, net that were sold in a securitization were $178.8 million and $183.3 million, respectively. The significant unobservable inputs utilized in the discounted cashflow model include the following:

---

|  | **Predecessor** |
|  | **Inputs as of December 31,** |
| **Unobservable inputs** | **2024** |
| Cumulative net loss | 24.2% |
| Recoveries | 30% |
| Discount Rate | 17%-19% |

---

In addition, the Company also had finance receivables that were no longer eligible to be sold in a securitization. As of June 30, 2025, there were no finance receivables held for sale, net, that were no longer eligible to be sold in a securitization. As of December 31, 2024, the carrying value and fair value of the finance receivables held for sale, net were no longer eligible to be sold in a securitization were $24.8 million. These were finance receivables that became delinquent and no longer meet the expected securitization sales criteria. The Company used a discounted cash flow model to estimate the fair value of future recoveries for finance receivables. Such fair value measurement is considered Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The significant unobservable inputs utilized in the discounted cashflow model include the following:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
|  | **Predecessor** |
|  | **Inputs as of December 31,** |
| **Unobservable inputs** | **2024** |

**16. Segment Information**

As a result of the Ecommerce Wind-Down during the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company revised its reportable segments. The Company is now organized into two reportable segments: UACC and CarStory. Corporate activities are presented in "corporate" and do not constitute a reportable segment. These activities include costs not directly attributable to the segments and are primarily related to costs associated with corporate and governance functions, including executive functions, corporate finance, legal, human resources, information technology, cyber security and other shared costs. Certain shared costs, including corporate administration, are allocated to segments based upon specific allocation of expenses. Corporate activities also include the runoff of legacy Vroom third party vehicle service and GAP policies sold prior to the Ecommerce Wind-Down. No operating segments have been aggregated to form the reportable segments.

The Company determined its operating segments based on how the chief operating decision maker ("CODM") reviews the Company's operating results in assessing performance and allocating resources. The Company's CODM is the chief executive office ("CEO"). During the period from January 15, 2025, to June 30, 2025, the CODM changed the

profitability measure reviewed for the Company's segment from Adjusted EBITDA to Adjusted net income (loss). The CODM reviews Adjusted net income (loss) for each of the reportable segments. Adjusted net income (loss) is defined as net income (loss) from continuing operations adjusted for stock compensation expense, severance expense, bankruptcy costs (which represent professional fees incurred related to the bankruptcy prior to filing of the petition and post-emergence), reorganization items, net (which relate to certain charges incurred during the bankruptcy proceedings, such as legal and professional fees incurred directly as a result of the bankruptcy proceeding, the write-off of deferred financing costs and discount on debt subject to compromise and other related charges), operating lease right-of-use assets impairment and long-lived asset impairment charges incurred by segment. All expense categories on the condensed consolidated statement of operations are significant and there are no other significant segment expenses that would require disclosure. There are no intra-entity sales and no significant expense categories regularly provided to the CODM beyond those disclosed in the consolidated statement of operations. The CODM manages the business using consolidated expense information, adjusted for items that are non-recurring or not core to the Company's operating business as disclosed above, as well as regularly provided budgeted or forecasted expense information for each operating segment. The CODM does not evaluate operating segments using asset information as these are managed on an enterprise-wide group basis. Accordingly, the Company does not report segment asset information. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, long-lived assets were predominantly located in the United States.

The UACC reportable segment represents UACC's operations with its network of third-party dealership customers, including the purchases and servicing of vehicle installment contracts. The segment also includes the runoff portfolio of retail installment sale contracts originated for Vroom or purchased from Vroom prior to the Ecommerce Wind-Down.

The CarStory reportable segment represents sales of AI-powered analytics and digital services to automotive dealers, automotive financial services companies and others in the automotive industry.

**17. Income Taxes**

The Company computes income taxes using the liability method. This method requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities, measured by enacted rates, attributable to temporary differences between the financial statements and the income tax basis of assets and liabilities. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, the Company considers whether it is more likely than not that certain deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income in those specific jurisdictions prior to the dates on which such net operating losses expire. The Company maintained a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets because the Company has determined that it is more likely than not that these assets will not be fully realized based on a current evaluation of expected future taxable income and the Company being in a cumulative 3-year loss position.

The Company's effective tax rate from continuing operations for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was (0.66)% and 0.87%, respectively. The Company's effective tax rate from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was 0.73% and (0.42)%, respectively.

The Company is subject to tax in the United States and many state and local jurisdictions. The Company, with certain exceptions, is no longer subject to income tax examinations by U.S. federal, state and local for tax years 2018 and prior. The Company is not currently under audit for any US federal or state income tax audits.

The Company has not identified any uncertain tax positions as of June 30, 2025, or December 31, 2024. Any interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions shall be recorded as a component of income tax expense. To date, no interest or penalties have been accrued in relation to uncertain tax positions.

On July 4, 2025, new U.S tax legislation was signed into law (known as the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" or "OBBBA") which makes permanent many of the tax provisions enacted in 2017 as part of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act that were set to expire at the end of 2025. In addition, the OBBBA makes changes to certain U.S. corporate tax provisions, but many are generally not effective until 2026. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new legislation but does not expect it to have a material impact on the results of operations.

The Internal Revenue Code ("IRC") Section 382 provides for a limitation of the annual use of net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards following certain ownership changes (as defined by the IRC Section 382). The Company completed a Section 382 study and determined that the Company has undergone five ownership changes, the most

------

[**<u>**Table of Contents**</u>**](#toc_page)

**VROOM, INC.** 

**NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** 

**(unaudited)**

recent of which occurred on the Effective Date. The IRC Section 382 limitations arising as a result of these ownership changes generally limit the use of the net operating losses generated before the applicable ownership change. However, an exception to the IRC Section 382 limitation applies when, among other requirements, so-called "qualified creditors" and shareholders of a corporation in a title 11 Case receive, in respect of their claims and interests, as applicable, at least 50% of the vote and value of the stock of the corporation pursuant to a confirmed chapter 11 plan (the "382(l)(5) Exception"). The Company expects that the 382(l)(5) Exception applied to the ownership change occurring on the Effective Date and, accordingly, that the Company may not have any limitation on its utilization of federal NOL carryforwards generated prior to emergence from the Prepackaged Chapter 11 Case (other than limitations which existed before the commencement of the Prepackaged Chapter 11 Case). However, the Company may be limited in its utilization of its federal NOL carryforwards generated before the Effective Date if it triggers another ownership change within two years after the Effective Date.

On the Effective Date, the Company consummated its Prepackaged Chapter 11 Case. For US tax purposes the Company would be required to recognize cancellation of debt income ("CODI") in the amount equal to the excess of the adjusted issue price of the debt discharged over the value of any new debt or equity that was issued. However, IRC Section 108 provides that CODI may be excluded from gross income to the extent that the debt is discharged in a title 11 Case. In lieu of recognizing CODI, IRC Section 108 requires the Company to reduce its tax attributes, including net operating losses, capital losses, tax credits, depreciable assets, investment in subsidiaries and other investments, in the amount of the CODI that is excluded from gross income.

**19. Related Party Transactions**

On March 8, 2025, Vroom, Inc., UACC and its indirect subsidiary Darkwater Funding LLC, as co-borrowers, entered into a credit agreement for a $25.0 million Delayed Draw Facility with Mudrick Capital Management, L.P. ("Lender"), who is a 76.5% shareholder of the Company and as of January 14, 2025 became a related party. The Delayed Draw Facility allows for multiple drawdowns by each co-borrower, subject to satisfaction of usual and customary conditions precedent. The Delayed Draw Facility bears interest at a rate of Term SOFR +850 bps, payable quarterly in arrears, with a full payment-in-kind option. Interest is also payable upon any payment of principal. The co-borrowers' obligations under the Delayed Draw Facility will be collateralized by asset backed residual certificates in certain UACC securitization trusts. The Delayed Draw Facility matures on December 31, 2026; however, borrowings can be prepaid at any time, in whole or in part, without penalty or premium. Once amounts are repaid they may not be reborrowed. The Delayed Draw Facility includes certain usual and customary covenants with respect to the co-borrowers' activities and the collateral. As of June 30, 2025, the Company did not have any Drawdown on the Delayed Draw Facility.

**20. Subsequent Events**

On July 7, 2025, the Company's Warrants commenced trading on the OTCQX Best Market under the symbol "VRMWW".

On July 21, 2025, the Company's Warehouse Credit Facility One expired pursuant to its terms and was not extended or renewed. The Company believes that its borrowing capacity from its other Warehouse Credit Facilities is sufficient to support its current operational needs and therefore elected not to renew this commitment.

Refer to Note 10 — Warehouse Credit Facilities of Consolidated VIEs for further details related to the Company's Warehouse Credit Facilities.

**Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations**

*The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. As discussed in the section titled "Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements," the following discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, as well as assumptions that, if they never materialize or prove incorrect, could cause our results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include, but are not limited to, those identified below and in the section titled "Risk Factors" in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 (the "Annual Report"), as updated by reference into the section titled "Risk Factors" in Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Additionally, our historical results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any period in the future.*

**Recent Events**

***Recapitalization of Balance Sheet Debt: the Prepackaged Chapter 11 Case***

On November 13, 2024, we commenced a voluntary proceeding (the "Prepackaged Chapter 11 Case") under Chapter 11 of the United States Code, 11 U.S.C. §§ 101-1532, as amended from time to in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas under the name "In re Vroom, Inc." None of our subsidiaries were debtors in the Chapter 11 proceedings.

On January 14, 2025 (the "Effective Date"), the conditions to the effectiveness of the prepackaged plan of reorganization (the "Plan") were satisfied or waived and the Plan became effective. We emerged from the Prepackaged Chapter 11 Case on January 14, 2025. On February 20, 2025, our common stock was re-listed for trading on the Nasdaq Global Market.

In connection with the Prepackaged Chapter 11 Case, the ordinary course operations of Vroom, Inc.'s subsidiaries continued with minimal impact. We emerged without any remaining Notes or long-term debt at the Vroom, Inc. level, but still maintain UACC's Warehouse Credit Facilities (as defined below), securitization debt, risk retention financing in securitizations, and junior subordinated debentures.

The Prepackaged Chapter 11 Case was intended to address the impact of the Notes and their upcoming maturity, or any potential acceleration, while providing the potential for our stockholders to retain value in their investment, limiting disruption to our ongoing ordinary course operations, emerging as a public company without any long-term debt at the Vroom, Inc. level, and maximizing the ability to utilize a substantial portion of our net operating losses. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources" for more information on our Notes and the restructuring of our debt obligations as a result of the Prepackaged Chapter 11 Case, and Part I, Item 1A Risk Factors for risks associated with the Prepackaged Chapter 11 Case and our ability to realize its intended benefits.

***Conversion of Common Stock***

Immediately prior to the Effective Date, there were 1,822,577 outstanding shares of our common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the "Common Stock"). We adopted an Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the "Certificate of Incorporation") to, among other changes to our prior amended and restated certificate of incorporation, effect an automatic conversion of the Common Stock at a ratio of 1-for-5. As a result of the automatic conversion and the issuance of shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Plan, there were approximately 5,163,109 outstanding shares of newly issued Common Stock as of the Effective Date (the "New Common Stock").

***Issuance of Warrants***

On the Effective Date, we entered into a warrant agreement (the "Warrant Agreement") with Equiniti Trust Company LLC, as warrant agent. In accordance with the Plan and pursuant to the Warrant Agreement, on the Effective Date, we issued warrants (the "Warrants") to purchase an aggregate of 364,516 shares of the New Common Stock, at an exercise price of $60.95 per share, to our stockholders in accordance with the Prepackaged Chapter 11 Case. Each

**NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** 

**(unaudited)**

Warrant was immediately exercisable upon the issuance date and will expire five years from the issuance date. On July 7, 2025, the Warrants commenced trading on the OTCQX Best Market under the symbol "VRMWW".

***Going Concern***

As of January 14, 2025 we emerged from the Prepackaged Chapter 11 Case and continue to operate as a viable going concern.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis that we will continue to operate as a going concern, which contemplates that we will be able to realize assets and settle liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business for twelve months following the issuance date.

**Overview** 

Vroom owns United Auto Credit Corporation, a leading automotive finance company that offers vehicle financing to consumers through third-party dealers under the UACC brand, and CarStory, a leader in AI-powered analytics and digital services for automotive retail.

**<u>UACC</u>**

UACC, which Vroom acquired in February 2022, is an indirect lender that offers vehicle financing under the UACC brand to consumers through third-party dealers, focusing primarily on the non-prime market. Prior to the Ecommerce Wind-Down, UACC also offered vehicle financing to Vroom's customers through its ecommerce platform.

UACC, which has been engaged in automotive finance since 1996, currently offers financing services to a nationwide network of thousands of independent motor vehicle dealers and manufacturer-franchised dealers in 49 states, and we seek to optimize that network over time. UACC enables these dealers to finance their customers' purchases of automobiles, medium and light-duty trucks and vans with competitive financing terms. The credit programs offered by UACC are primarily designed to serve consumers who have limited access to traditional motor vehicle financing.

In addition to its financing expertise, the UACC platform brings with it extensive application processing, underwriting and servicing capabilities. UACC services the retail installment sales contracts it originates or purchases and will continue to service the contracts it originated or purchased for customers of Vroom's former ecommerce business. Because UACC focuses primarily on the non-prime market, it generally sustains a higher level of delinquencies and credit losses than that experienced by traditional motor vehicle financing sources. As of June 30, 2025, UACC serviced a portfolio of approximately 79,000 retail installment sales contracts with an aggregate principal outstanding balance of $1.0 billion.

**<u>CarStory</u>**

CarStory offers AI-powered analytics and digital services to dealers, automotive financial services companies and others in the automotive industry, which use CarStory's solutions to enhance their customer experience and drive increased vehicle purchases.

Leveraging computer vision and AI, CarStory has curated a comprehensive used vehicle information database, including over 246 million vehicle identification numbers ("VINs"), 188 million window stickers, 4 billion vehicle photos and 393 million sales cycles, along with price and price elasticity models. CarStory receives data for over three and a half million unique VINs listed for sale every day, resulting in CarStory having data for an estimated 90% of U.S. consumer vehicles. This data is aggregated with demand insights from millions of consumer sessions and data from CarStory's proprietary VIN database to generate more accurate vehicle valuations.

CarStory helps dealers optimize their pricing by leveraging data science models for retail pricing that provide predictive pricing for marketing, buying, selling and VIN-level features. Unlike simple averages, we believe CarStory's patented neural-net algorithm can provide a highly accurate market price (the "CarStory Real Market Price") for vehicle valuations. We believe that the CarStory Real Market Price accounts for factors that averages often miss, such as local market dynamics and dealer performance.

In addition to its data analytics and AI-based pricing solutions, CarStory creates and powers digital experiences for end consumers, including automotive marketplaces, vehicle market reports, and trade-in and appraisal products. CarStory's digital experiences are designed with user behavior data to engage consumers and drive more consumers to vehicle purchase decisions.

**<u>Long-term Strategic Plan</u>**

Since the announcement of the Value Maximization Plan in January 2024, we have been focused on building a long-term strategic plan leveraging our remaining assets to improve the profitability of the business and achieve three key objectives: achieve pre-COVID Cumulative Net Losses ("CNL") or lower, grow origination with pre-COVID CNL or lower, and lower operating cost.

In order to achieve these objectives, we are focused on four strategic initiatives:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Build a world class lending program: Focus on using advanced models and analytics to predict losses and drive profitable growth, bringing subprime CNL to pre-COVID levels. Expand the near-prime program to enable UACC to become a more significant partner to dealers.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Build a world class sales and marketing program: Attract and retain the best dealers and drive deeper dealer engagement to enable growth. Improve the Fast Lane, a portal built to provide the dealer with everything they need from application through contracting.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Build operational excellence in originations: Enhance systemic capabilities and decisioning for a more efficient process. Integrate Vroom patent-pending AI agent into UACC's funding process to reduce costs, improve accuracy, and reduce fraud. Build a pre-verification automated engine to improve dealer service, improve credit quality and increase capture rates.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Build operational excellence in servicing: Utilize data science, advanced analytics and technology to enable an improved approach to servicing effectiveness. Utilize the native consumer mobile app, which was launched in September 2024, to improve customer engagement and communication and target more on-time payments.

**Non-GAAP Financial Measures**

In addition to our results determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we believe certain non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating our operating performance.

In the period from January 15, 2025, to June 30, 2025, we changed one of the measures that we review to evaluate our performance from Adjusted EBITDA to Adjusted net income (loss). Adjusted net income (loss) is a supplemental performance measure that our management uses to assess our operating performance and the operating leverage in our business. Adjusted net income (loss) facilitates internal comparisons of our historical operating performance on a more consistent basis, therefore we use this measure for business planning purposes.

Management believes Adjusted net income (loss) is a better indication of our profitability on a Non-GAAP basis as we no longer have significant depreciation and amortization expenses as a result of the fresh start accounting and we recorded our intangible assets at fair value upon emergence from the Prepackaged Chapter 11 Case. Additionally, due to the elimination of our long-term debt in the Prepackaged Chapter 11 Case we have significantly lower interest expense.

Adjusted net income (loss) has limitations as an analytical tool because it does not reflect all of the amounts associated with our results of operations as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Additionally, it may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate non-GAAP financial measures differently than we do, limiting the usefulness of those measures for those comparative purposes. Because of these limitations, this non-GAAP financial measure should be considered along with other operating and financial performance measures presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The presentation of this non-GAAP financial measure is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial

**(unaudited)**

information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We have reconciled this non-GAAP financial measure with the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure below.

***Adjusted net loss***

We calculate Adjusted net loss as net income (loss) from continuing operations adjusted for stock compensation expense, severance expense, bankruptcy costs (which represent professional fees incurred related to the bankruptcy prior to filing of the petition and post-emergence), reorganization items, net (which relate to certain charges incurred during the bankruptcy proceedings, such as legal and professional fees incurred directly as a result of the bankruptcy proceeding, the write-off of deferred financing costs and discount on debt subject to compromise and other related charges), operating lease right-of-use assets impairment and long-lived asset impairment charges.

The following table presents a reconciliation of Adjusted net loss to net income (loss) from continuing operations, which is the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure (in thousands):

***Non-GAAP Combined Six Months Ended June 30, 2025***

Our financial results for the periods from January 1, 2025 through January 14, 2025 and the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 are referred to as those of the "Predecessor" periods. Our financial results for the periods from January 15, 2025 through June 30, 2025 and the three months ended June 30, 2025 are referred to as those of the "Successor" periods. Our results of operations as reported in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for these periods are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Although U.S. GAAP requires that we report our results for the period from January 1, 2025 through January 14, 2025 and the period from January 15, 2025 through June 30, 2025 separately, management views our operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2025 by combining the results of the applicable Predecessor and Successor periods because such presentation provides the most meaningful comparison of our results to prior periods. We believe we cannot adequately benchmark the operating results of the period from January 15, 2025 through June 30, 2025 against any of the previous periods reported in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements without combining it with the period from January 1, 2025 through January 14, 2025, and do not believe that reviewing the results of this period in isolation would be useful in identifying trends in or reaching conclusions regarding our overall operating performance. Management believes that the key performance metrics for the Successor period when combined with the Predecessor period provide more meaningful comparisons to other periods and are useful in identifying current business trends. Accordingly, in addition to presenting our results of operations as reported in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the tables and discussion below also present the combined results for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The combined results for the six months ended June 30, 2025 represent the sum of the reported amounts for the Predecessor period from January 1, 2025 through January 14, 2025 and the Successor period from January 15, 2025 through June 30, 2025. These combined results are not considered to be prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and have not been prepared as pro forma results per applicable regulations. The combined operating results do not reflect the actual results we would have achieved absent our emergence from the Prepackaged Chapter 11 Case and are not necessarily indicative of future results. Accordingly, the results for the combined six months ended June 30, 2025 (prepared on a Non-GAAP basis) and six months ended June 30, 2024 (prepared on a GAAP basis) may not be comparable, particularly for statement of operations line items significantly impacted by the Reorganization transactions and the impact of fresh start accounting.

**Key Factors and Trends Affecting our Operating Results** 

Our financial condition and results of operations have been, and will continue to be, affected by a number of factors and trends, including the following:

***Prepackaged Chapter 11 Case***

Even though we have emerged from the Prepackaged Chapter 11 Case, our Prepackaged Chapter 11 Case could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and liquidity. For example, it could adversely affect our business and relationships with customers, vendors, contractors, employees or suppliers. Furthermore, we may not realize any or all of the intended benefits of the Prepackaged Chapter 11 Case, the benefits may not be on the terms, in the manner, or during the time period we expect, and the costs incurred may exceed the intended benefits. The occurrence of one or more of these events could have a material and adverse effect on our operations, financial condition and reputation and we cannot assure you that having been subject to bankruptcy proceedings will not adversely affect our operations in the future. Additionally, other risks we face, as described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, may be exacerbated by the impacts of our emergence from the Prepackaged Chapter 11 Case. All of these factors could limit our ability to pursue growth strategies for our business in the near- to mid-term.

***Fresh Start Accounting***

Upon emergence from the Prepackaged Chapter 11 Case, we adopted fresh start accounting in accordance with FASB Codification Topic 852, Reorganizations ("ASC 852") and became a new entity for financial reporting purposes. As a result, the condensed consolidated financial statements after the Effective Date are not comparable with the condensed consolidated financial statements on or before that date as indicated by the "black line" division in the financial statements and footnote tables, which emphasizes the lack of comparability between amounts presented. References to "Successor" relate to our financial position and results of operations after the Effective Date. References to "Predecessor" refer to our

------

[**<u>**Table of Contents**</u>**](#toc_page)

**NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** 

**(unaudited)**

financial position and results of operations on or before the Effective Date. For further information on comparability of Predecessor and Successor periods, see discussion within Results of Operations section below.

***Ability to manage credit losses***

While credit losses are inherent in the automotive finance receivables business, several variables have negatively affected UACC's recent loss and delinquency rates, including rising interest rates, the current inflationary environment and vehicle depreciation. However, UACC has seen some improvement in our more recently issued finance receivable vintages, leading to lower losses as the more seasoned finance receivables are replaced with new originations, which has positively impacted the fair value of our finance receivables and the losses recognized for the six months ended June 30, 2025. Some of this is driven by seasonality and the current rate environment. While we expect long term improvements in our finance receivable portfolio, we expect some downward trends to continue to negatively impact our business for the remainder of 2025. UACC primarily operates in the non-prime sector of the market which tends to have more volatility. In 2020 and 2021, COVID related stimulus and used vehicle appreciation resulted in significantly lower delinquencies and subsequent losses. In late 2022 and 2023, delinquencies and loss rates rose as a result of the aforementioned factors and, in response, we implemented changes to our credit program, such as tightening credit, which is starting to return our delinquencies and expected portfolio performance on those vintages to normalized levels. We also intend to leverage CarStory data to improve VIN-level valuations to support underwriting decisions and servicing operations. Certain advance rates available to UACC on borrowings from the Warehouse Credit Facilities have decreased and any future decreases on available advance rates may have an adverse impact on our liquidity.

***Enhance profitability at UACC*** 

In addition to higher credit losses, UACC's ability to achieve profitability has been negatively affected by increased operating expenses and productivity challenges. Also, we have identified vulnerabilities in certain IT systems and determined additional investment will be needed to update and secure those systems. We are undertaking a number of initiatives designed to reduce operating expenses, introduce improved processes, and reporting metrics across UACC's operations, invest in IT systems, improve origination and servicing productivity, and leverage CarStory data to improve underwriting and servicing performance. We intend to grow UACC's business profitably by reducing credit losses, increasing UACC's market share, and streamlining its operations.

***Ability to continue to access capital*** 

As of June 30, 2025, UACC had four Warehouse Credit Facilities, which are primarily used to finance the origination of finance receivables as well as to provide funding for general operating activities. UACC has also developed a securitization program that involves selling finance receivables to securitization trusts through the private issuance of asset-backed securities which are collateralized by the finance receivables.

The success of UACC's business is highly dependent on the ability to continue to access capital through both its warehousing arrangements and securitization program. As a result of fluctuating interest rates, the current inflationary environment and vehicle depreciation in the used automotive industry, UACC is experiencing higher loss severity. Certain advance rates available to UACC on borrowings from UACC's senior secured warehouse credit facility agreements (the "Warehouse Credit Facilities") have decreased and any future decreases on available advance rates may have an adverse impact on our liquidity.

In March 2025, we renewed two of our Warehouse Credit Facilities, Facility Two and Facility Four, with an aggregate borrowing capacity of $400 million, now expiring in June 2026 and April 2027, respectively. Warehouse Credit Facility One, which had a borrowing capacity of $200 million, expired on July 21, 2025, pursuant to its terms, and we elected not to renew this commitment on the basis that borrowing capacity from our other Warehouse Credit Facilities is sufficient to support our current operational needs. Following the expiration of Warehouse Credit Facility One, UACC now has three senior secured Warehouse Credit Facilities. We expect to renew Warehouse Credit Facility Three prior to its expiration on August 29, 2025. There can be no assurance that adequate additional financing will be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all, if needed. See "Risk Factors—We may not generate sufficient liquidity to operate our business, and, UACC may be unable to continue to access or renew funding sources and obtain capital needed to maintain and grow its business" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

***Ability to optimize our dealer network to increase vehicle finance offerings***

We intend to moderately grow our automotive financing business while focusing on achieving profitability. UACC will seek to optimize its dealer network over time. UACC provides funding that allows independent motor vehicle dealers and manufacturer-franchised dealers to finance vehicles for their customers. Currently, UACC serves a nationwide network of thousands of dealers in 49 states. UACC's credit programs are primarily designed to serve consumers in the non-prime market, who have limited access to traditional vehicle financing, although UACC intends to expand its offerings across a broader range of the credit spectrum going forward and has launched a pilot program for near-prime consumers. We also intend to drive dealer and customer engagement through technology innovations.

***Seasonality*** 

Used vehicle sales have historically been seasonal. The used vehicle industry typically experiences an increase in sales early in the calendar year and reaches its highest point late in the first quarter and early in the second quarter. Vehicle sales then level off through the rest of the year, with the lowest level of sales in the fourth quarter. This seasonality has historically corresponded with the timing of income tax refunds, which are an important source of funding for vehicle purchases. Consistent with market trends, UACC generally experiences increased funding activity during the first quarter through tax season. Delinquencies also tend to be lower during the first quarter through tax season and higher during the latter half of the year. See "Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Financial Condition and Results of Operations—We may experience seasonal and other fluctuations in our quarterly results of operations, which may not fully reflect the underlying performance of our business" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

***Macroeconomic Factors***

The United States and global economies have recently and are continuing to experience a sustained inflationary environment. The Federal Reserve's efforts to tame inflation have led to increased interest rates, which affects automotive finance rates and our borrowing rates, thereby reducing discretionary spending and making vehicle financing more costly and less accessible or desirable to many consumers. While interest rate cuts were expected in 2024, only slight cuts were enacted in the latter half of that year. Based on the July 2025 meeting, the Federal Reserve interest rates remained unchanged. We are not able to predict if, when, and to what degree rates may change and the impact it may have on the economy and our business.

In addition, the current U.S. Presidential administration has announced (and in some cases, partially delayed or rescinded) new tariffs on imports to the United States from other countries. Many countries have announced plans to impose retaliatory tariffs as well as other trade restrictions and retaliatory measures. Such significant tariffs, restrictions or other retaliatory measures could have a major impact on the United States automotive industry, which depends heavily on cross border trade. Should additional tariffs be implemented and sustained by the United States and other countries for an extended period of time, they would have a significant adverse effect, including financial, on the automotive industry. Further, any additional restrictions by the United States or other governments would exacerbate the impact, as could the uncertainty regarding the magnitude or duration of these measures. Steps taken by governments to implement tariffs on raw materials (including steel), automobiles, parts, and other products and materials have the potential to disrupt existing supply chains and impose additional costs on businesses in the automotive industry in the United States and globally. While negotiations regarding tariffs and other restrictions are ongoing and changing rapidly, if the resulting environment of retaliatory tariffs or other practices of additional trade restrictions or barriers increase automobile prices in the U.S. or cause volatility, this could lead to negative consumer sentiment and decreased consumer demand for automobiles, and in turn, decreased demand for motor vehicle contracts financed through UACC, which would negatively impact our results of operations, cash flows, and financial condition.

Moreover, geopolitical conflicts and war, including those in Europe and the Middle East, have increased global economic and political uncertainty, which has caused dramatic fluctuations in global financial markets. Ongoing economic and political disruption, or a significant escalation or expansion of such disruption could continue to impact consumer sentiment and spending, broaden inflationary costs, and could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

We will continue to actively monitor and develop responses to these disruptions, including the developing role that geopolitical, climate, and labor concerns are playing in trade relations, but depending on the duration and severity of such events, these trends could continue to negatively impact our business through 2025.

**Results of Operations** 

We historically managed and reported operating results through three reportable segments. As a result of the Value Maximization Plan and the wind-down of our ecommerce operations, we discontinued reporting our results through our Ecommerce and Wholesale segments starting in the first quarter of 2024. We are now organized into two reportable segments: UACC and CarStory.

Corporate activities are presented in "corporate" and do not constitute a reportable segment. These activities include costs not directly attributable to the segments and are primarily related to costs associated with corporate and governance functions, including executive functions, corporate finance, legal, human resources, information technology, cyber security and other shared costs. Certain shared costs, including corporate administration, are allocated to segments based upon specific allocation of expenses. Corporate activities also include the runoff of legacy Vroom third party vehicle service and GAP policies sold prior to the Ecommerce Wind-Down.

***Interest income***

UACC acquires and services finance receivables from its network of third-party dealership customers and generates interest income. Prior to our Prepackaged Chapter 11 Case this consisted of discount income and interest income. However, upon emergence and on the Effective Date, we made an accounting policy election to recognize discount income as a component of 'Realized and unrealized losses, net of recoveries' on a prospective basis. Discount income represents the amortization of unearned discounts over the contractual life of the underlying finance receivables held for investment at fair value. We also made an accounting policy election to elect the fair value option on all finance receivables and classify them as held for investment. Discounts on the finance receivables held-for-sale were previously deferred until they were sold.

For securitization transactions that are accounted for as secured borrowings, we recognize interest income in accordance with the terms of the related retail installment sale contracts. Interest income also includes the runoff portfolio of retail installment sale contracts originated for Vroom or purchased from Vroom prior to the Ecommerce Wind-Down.

Interest income decreased $6.7 million, or 12.7%, to $45.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, from $52.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. This decrease was primarily a result of the accounting policy change which resulted in lower discount income as well as a decrease driven by a lower finance receivable balance. The loan portfolio decreased to $849.0 million as of June 30, 2025, from $880.6 million as of June 30, 2024.

***Interest expense*** 

Interest expense primarily includes interest expense on UACC's Warehouse Credit Facilities and interest expense incurred on securitization debt.

Interest expense decreased $1.9 million, or 12.3%, to $13.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 from $15.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, primarily as a result of lower interest expense incurred on the Warehouse Credit Facilities, which decreased $3.7 million to $3.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 from $7.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease was offset by higher interest expense incurred on securitization debt, which increased $1.9 million to $9.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, from $8.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease of interest expense incurred on the Warehouse Credit Facilities is attributable to a lower outstanding balance of $205.8 million as of June 30, 2025 as compared to $270.8 million as of June 30, 2024, due to repayments of the Warehouse Credit Facilities in connection with completion of the 2025-1 securitization, as well as a decrease in the weighted average interest rates, which decreased from 7.19% to 5.99% in the respective periods. The increase of interest expense incurred on securitization debt is attributable to a higher outstanding balance of $526.7 million as of June 30, 2025, as compared to $472.2 million as of June 30, 2024, as well as overall higher interest rates on securitization debt.

***Realized and unrealized losses, net of recoveries*** 

Upon emergence from the Prepackaged Chapter 11 Case, and application of fresh start accounting, we made an accounting policy election to report discount income as a component of "Realized and unrealized losses, net of recoveries". We also made an accounting policy election to elect the fair value option for all finance receivables held for sale on a prospective basis. Realized and unrealized losses, net of recoveries, represents changes in the fair value of finance receivables for which the fair value option was selected, changes in the fair value of securitization debt , changes in the fair value of beneficial interests, as well as collection expenses related to servicing finance receivables. Prior to emergence from the Prepackaged Chapter 11 Case, when we still had finance receivables held for sale, realized and unrealized losses, net of recoveries also represented charge-offs of finance receivables held for sale and changes in the valuation allowance on the held for sale portfolio.

Realized and unrealized losses, net of recoveries, increased by $1.3 million or 6.8% to $20.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, from $19.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, primarily driven by higher losses on finance receivables, partially offset by the change in accounting policy related to discount income, which reduced the credit losses in the current period.

***Servicing income*** 

Servicing income primarily represents the annual fees earned as a percentage of the outstanding principal balance of the finance receivables sold that were accounted for as off-balance sheet securitizations. When our securitizations are accounted for as secured borrowings, the servicing income we receive is eliminated in consolidation. In addition, we also earn other income generated from servicing our finance receivables portfolio, including late and other fees.

Servicing income decreased by $0.3 million or 20.7% to $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 from $1.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, primarily driven by a lower balance of the 2022-1 securitization, which is accounted for as an off-balance sheet securitization.

***Warranties and GAP income, net***

UACC earns fees by selling third-party value-added products, such as vehicle service contracts. UACC is also contractually entitled to receive profit-sharing based on the performance of the vehicle service contract policies once a required claims period has passed. UACC recognizes a profit-share to the extent it is probable that it will not result in a significant revenue reversal. We estimate the revenue based on historical claims and cancellation data from its consumers, as well as other qualitative assumptions.

United Auto Credit GAP is a debt waiver product that provides protection for consumers who purchase the product by waiving the difference between the actual cash value of the consumer's vehicle and the balance of the consumer's finance receivable, subject to the terms and conditions of the United Auto Credit GAP, in the event of a total loss resulting from collision or theft. The total fees are earned over the contractual life of the related financial receivables on straight-line basis.

Warranties and GAP income, net increased by $2.1 million or 124.0% to $3.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to $1.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, primarily as a result of lower cancellation and claim losses, along with funding more contracts with GAP and warranty products, and charging higher fees in the current year period.

***Other income***

Other income decreased $0.1 million or 5.7% to $2.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, from $2.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024.

***Compensation and benefits***

Compensation and benefits decreased $3.1 million or 15.1% to $17.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, from $20.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease was primarily a result of lower salary expense as a result of fewer employees as we continued right-sizing our workforce, lower severance expense related to the termination of certain employees in the prior year period, and an increase in internal software capitalization as we continue to invest in building our technology assets.

***Professional fees***

Professional fees increased by $0.8 million or 149.2% to $1.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, from $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, primarily as a result of an increase in legal and audit services.

***Software and IT costs***

Software and IT costs decreased $0.1 million or 3.2% to $2.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, from $2.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, primarily as a result of more efficient targeted software use as well as renegotiating and right-sizing our Software and IT contracts.

***Depreciation and amortization***

Depreciation and amortization decreased $5.0 million or 88.8% to $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 from $5.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, primarily as a result of lower intangible assets upon emergence from our Prepackaged Chapter 11 Case, leading to lower amortization expense in the current year period.

***Other expenses***

Other expenses decreased $0.9 million or 29.5% to $2.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, from $3.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, primarily as a result of a loss on the repurchase of the non-investment grade securities related to the 2022-2 securitization transaction in the prior year period.

***Adjusted net loss***

Adjusted net loss decreased $3.0 million or 35.6% to $(5.3) million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, from $(8.3) million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, primarily as a result of a decrease of $8.0 million in expenses, which was in turn primarily driven by a $5.0 million decrease in depreciation and amortization expense and a $3.1 million decrease in compensation and benefits, an increase of $2.1 million in income from warranties and GAP products, and a decrease of $1.9 million in interest expense. These were partially offset by a $6.7 million decrease in interest income.

to the Ecommerce Wind-Down as well as certain Vroom contracts, primarily Software and IT related, that have been renegotiated and right-sized to account for reduced headcount following the Ecommerce Wind-down.

***Warranties and GAP loss, net***

Prior to the Ecommerce Wind-Down, we offered value-added products to our customers pursuant to arrangements with the third parties that sell and administer these products as well as estimated profit-sharing amounts to which we are entitled based on the performance of third-party protection products once a required claims period has passed. A portion of the fees we received are subject to chargeback in the event of early termination, default, or prepayment of the contracts by our customers. Warranties and GAP loss, net recorded within Corporate, relates to the runoff of policies sold prior to the Ecommerce Wind-Down.

See "Note 3 — Revenue Recognition" to our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Warranties and GAP loss, net increased $0.3 million or 89.3% to income of $28 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2025, from a loss of $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, primarily as a result of a revised estimate of proceeds we expect to recover as a result of the Ecommerce Wind-Down that was recorded in the prior year period.

***Other income***

Other income primarily represents interest earned on cash and cash equivalents. Other income decreased $0.8 million or 93.7% to $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, from $0.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, primarily driven by lower cash and cash equivalent balances.

***Compensation and benefits***

Compensation and benefits expense decreased $2.1 million or 50.5% to $2.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 from $4.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, primarily as a result of lower expense due to the departure of certain key executives and retention bonuses granted to retain key employees paid out in the prior year period subsequent to the Ecommerce Wind-Down.

***Professional fees***

Professional fees decreased $0.2 million or 22.3% to $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, from $0.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024.

***Software and IT costs***

Software and IT costs decreased $0.7 million or 48.3% to $0.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, from $1.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, primarily as a result of more efficient targeted software use as well as renegotiating and right-sizing our Software and IT contracts.

***Interest expense on corporate debt***

Interest expense on corporate debt decreased $0.9 million or 100.0% to none for the three months ended June 30, 2025, from $0.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, primarily related to the extinguishment of our Notes that were converted to equity as part of our Prepackaged Chapter 11 Case.

***Other expenses*** 

Other expenses decreased $1.4 million or 70.6% to $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 from $1.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, primarily related to a decrease in public-company related insurance costs as we renegotiated our insurance policies as a result of the reduced scale of the business.

***Interest income***

Interest income decreased $13.7 million, or 13.2%, to $90.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, from $103.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. This decrease was primarily a result of the accounting policy change which resulted in lower discount income as well as a decrease driven by a lower finance receivable balance. The loan portfolio decreased to $849.0 million as of June 30, 2025, from $880.6 million as of June 30, 2024.

***Interest expense***

[**<u>**Table of Contents**</u>**](#toc_page)

**VROOM, INC.** 

**NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** 

**(unaudited)**

Interest expense decreased $2.8 million, or 9.6%, to $26.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 from $29.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily as a result of lower interest expense incurred on the Warehouse Credit Facilities, which decreased $7.6 million to $8.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 from $16.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease was offset by higher interest expense incurred on securitization debt, which increased $4.7 million to $17.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, from $12.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease of interest expense incurred on the Warehouse Credit Facilities is attributable to a lower outstanding balance of $205.8 million as of June 30, 2025 as compared to $270.1 million as of June 30, 2024, due to repayments of the Warehouse Credit Facilities in connection with completion of the 2025-1 securitization, as well as a decrease in the weighted average interest rates, which decreased from 7.19% to 5.99% in the respective periods. The increase of interest expense incurred on securitization debt is attributable to a higher outstanding balance of $526.7 million as of June 30, 2025, as compared to $472.2 million as of June 30, 2024, as well as overall higher interest rates on securitization debt.

***Realized and unrealized losses, net of recoveries*** 

Realized and unrealized losses, net of recoveries, decreased by $6.0 million or 12.9% to $41.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, from $47.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily driven by lower losses on finance receivables as well as discount income being recognized as a component of Realized and unrealized losses, net of recoveries.

***Servicing income*** 

Servicing income decreased by $0.9 million or 25.0% to $2.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 from $3.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily driven by a lower balance of the 2022-1 securitization, which is accounted for as an off-balance sheet securitization.

***Warranties and GAP income, net***

Warranties and GAP income, net increased by $4.3 million or 134.9% to $7.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, from $3.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 primarily as a result of lower cancellation and claim losses, along with funding more contracts with GAP and warranty products and charging higher fees in the current year period.

***Other income***

Other income decreased $0.3 million or 6.3% to $4.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, from $4.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

***Compensation and benefits***

Compensation and benefits decreased $5.8 million or 14.7% to $33.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, from $39.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease was primarily a result of lower salary expense as a result of fewer employees as we continue right-sizing our workforce, lower severance expense related to the termination of certain employees in the prior year period, and an increase in internal software capitalization as we continue to invest in building our technology assets.

***Professional fees***

Professional fees increased by $3.2 million or 222.1% to $4.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, from $1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily as a result of an increase in legal and audit services.

***Software and IT costs***

Software and IT costs decreased $0.6 million or 9.8% to $5.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, from $5.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily as a result of more efficient targeted software use as well as renegotiating and right-sizing our Software and IT contracts.

***Depreciation and amortization***

Depreciation and amortization decreased $9.8 million or 83.5% to $1.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 from $11.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily as a result of lower intangible assets upon emergence from our Prepackaged Chapter 11 Case, leading to lower amortization expense in the current year period.

***Impairment charges***

Impairment charges increased $0.7 million or 26.4% to $3.5 million related to lease impairment charges incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to $2.8 million of capitalized internal-use software related impairment charges incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2024.

***Other expenses***

Other expenses decreased $1.5 million or 26.8% to $4.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, from $5.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily as a result of changing the existing dealer incentives program and recording a loss on the repurchase of the non-investment grade securities related to the 2022-2 securitization transaction in the prior year period.

***Adjusted net loss***

Adjusted net loss decreased $12.7 million or 51.3% to $(12.1) million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, from $(24.8) million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily as a result of a decrease of $13.5 million in expenses, which was in turn primarily driven by a $9.8 million decrease in depreciation and amortization expense, a $5.8 million decrease in compensation and benefits, a $6.0 million decrease in realized and unrealized losses, net of recoveries, an increase of $4.3 million in income from warranties and GAP products, and a decrease of $2.8 million in interest expense. These were partially offset by a $13.8 million decrease in interest income.

***CarStory revenue***

CarStory revenue decreased $1.2 million or 20.7% to $4.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, from $5.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 primarily as a result of a change in the scope of service and data provided to our customers, and the loss of a major customer.

***Compensation and benefits***

Compensation and benefits decreased $1.4 million or 30.1% to $3.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, from $4.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease was primarily a result of an increase in the allocation of CarStory resources to UACC.

***Depreciation and amortization***

Depreciation and amortization decreased $2.7 million or 86.0% to $0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 from $3.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily as a result lower intangible assets upon emergence from our Prepackaged Chapter 11 Case, leading to lower amortization expense in the current year period.

***Adjusted net income (loss)***

Adjusted net income (loss) increased $2.8 million or 140.9% to $0.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to $2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 primarily due to lower depreciation and amortization expense as a result of lower intangible assets upon emergence from the Prepackaged Chapter 11 Case and lower compensation and benefits of $1.4 million, which were offset by lower noninterest income of $1.5 million.

***Warranties and GAP income (loss), net*** 

Warranties and GAP income (loss), net increased $11.9 million or 103.4% to income of $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, from a loss of $11.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily as a result of a revised estimate of proceeds we expect to recover as a result of the Ecommerce Wind-Down that was recorded in the prior year period.

***Other income***

Other income decreased $0.7 million or 72.6% to $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, from $1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily driven by lower cash and cash equivalent balances.

***Compensation and benefits***

Compensation and benefits expense decreased $4.1 million or (56.4)% to $3.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 from $7.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily as a result of lower expense due to the departure of certain key executives and retention bonuses granted to retain key employees paid out in the prior year period subsequent to the Ecommerce Wind-Down.

***Software and IT costs***

Software and IT costs decreased $1.7 million or 59.1% to $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, from $2.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily as a result of more efficient targeted software use as well as renegotiating and right-sizing our Software and IT contracts.

***Interest expense on corporate debt***

Interest expense on corporate debt decreased $1.7 million or 95.1% to $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, from $1.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, due to the extinguishment of our Notes that were converted to equity as part of our Prepackaged Chapter 11 Case.

***Other expenses*** 

Other expenses decreased $2.5 million or 67.4% to $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 from $3.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily related to a decrease in public-company related insurance costs as we renegotiated our insurance policies as a result of the reduced scale of the business.

**Liquidity and Capital Resources**

On January 14, 2025, we emerged from the Prepackaged Chapter 11 Case, as discussed above under "Recent Events". On the Effective Date, each holder of the Notes received a pro rata share of 92.94% of the New Common Stock (subject to dilution) and all of the Company's outstanding obligations under the Notes and the Indenture were deemed fully satisfied and discharged. Vroom, Inc. no longer has long-term debt, but UACC has debt in connection with its securitizations, Warehouse Credit Facilities, risk retention financing facility for its beneficial interests in securitizations and its trust preferred securities.

As of June 30, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $14.3 million and restricted cash of $52.9 million. Restricted cash primarily includes restricted cash required under UACC's securitization transactions and Warehouse Credit Facilities of $52.0 million. Prior to the Ecommerce Wind-Down, our primary source of liquidity was cash generated through financing activities. Additionally, we had excess borrowing capacity of $16.6 million under UACC's Warehouse Credit Facilities as of June 30, 2025 and $25.0 million available under our Delayed Draw Facility (as defined below).

We expect to use our cash and cash equivalents to finance our future capital requirements and UACC's Warehouse Credit Facilities to fund our finance receivables. Certain advance rates available to UACC on borrowings from the Warehouse Credit Facilities have decreased and any future decreases on available advance rates may have an adverse impact on our liquidity.

UACC relies on borrowings under the Warehouse Credit Facilities to finance the origination of finance receivables as well as to provide funding for general operating activities. The terms of those facilities generally mature within one to two years and we typically renew those facilities in the ordinary course. In March 2025, we renewed two of our Warehouse Credit Facilities, Facility Two and Facility Four, with an aggregate borrowing capacity of $400 million, now expiring in June 2026 and April 2027, respectively. Warehouse Credit Facility One, which had a borrowing capacity of $200.0 million, expired on July 21, 2025, pursuant to its terms, and we elected not to renew this commitment on the basis that borrowing capacity from our other Warehouse Credit Facilities is sufficient to support our current operational needs. Following the expiration of Warehouse Credit Facility One, UACC now has three senior secured Warehouse Credit Facilities. We expect to renew Warehouse Credit Facility Three prior to its expiration on August 29, 2025. There can be no assurance that adequate additional financing will be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. Failure to retain sufficient warehouse borrowing capacity would have a material adverse effect on our ability to finance UACC's lending operations and our results of operations and liquidity. Refer to Note 10 — Warehouse Credit Facilities and Consolidated VIEs to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

On March 8, 2025, Vroom, Inc., UACC and its indirect subsidiary Darkwater Funding LLC, as co-borrowers, entered into a credit agreement with Mudrick Capital Management, L.P. ("Lender"), who as of January 14, 2025 was a 76.5% shareholder of the Company, for a $25.0 million delayed draw term loan facility ("Delayed Draw Facility"). The

Delayed Draw Facility allows for multiple drawdowns by each co-borrower, subject to satisfaction of usual and customary conditions precedent. The Delayed Draw Facility bears interest at a rate of Term SOFR +850 bps, payable quarterly in arrears, with a full payment-in-kind option. Interest is also payable upon any payment of principal. The co-borrowers' obligations under the Delayed Draw Facility will be collateralized by asset backed residual certificates in certain UACC securitization trusts. The Delayed Draw Facility matures on December 31, 2026; however, borrowings can be prepaid at any time, in whole or in part, without penalty or premium. Once amounts are repaid they may not be reborrowed. The Delayed Draw Facility includes certain usual and customary covenants with respect to the co-borrowers' activities and the collateral.

Upon our emergence from bankruptcy on January 14, 2025, we continue to operate as a viable going concern. The accompanying audited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis that we will continue to operate as a going concern, which contemplates that we will be able to realize assets and settle liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business for twelve months following the issuance date.

Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including our ability to realize the intended benefits of the Value Maximization Plan, Prepackaged Chapter 11 Case, and our Long-Term Strategic Plan, available advance rates on and the renewal of the Warehouse Credit Facilities, our ability to meet the requirements for continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Market, our ability to complete additional securitization transactions on favorable terms, and future credit losses. We anticipate that our existing cash and cash equivalents, our credit agreement with Mudrick Capital Management L.P., and UACC's Warehouse Credit Facilities will be sufficient to support our ongoing operations and obligations for at least the next twelve months from the issuance date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

***Securitization Transactions***

Subject to market conditions, we plan to sell finance receivables originated by UACC through asset-backed securitization transactions. During the first quarter of 2025, UACC completed the 2025-1 securitization transaction, in which it issued approximately $307.8 million of rated asset-backed securities in an auto finance receivable securitization transaction from a securitization trust, established and sponsored by UACC for proceeds of $306.5 million. The trust is collateralized by finance receivables with an aggregate principal balance of $382.1 million as of March 12, 2025. These finance receivables are serviced by UACC and UACC receives an "at market" servicing fee. UACC retained the residual interests, which required us to account for the 2025-1 securitization as secured borrowings and the assets and liabilities of the trust remain on balance sheet.

Finance receivables are serviced by UACC. UACC retains at least 5% of the notes and residual certificates sold as required by applicable risk retention rules and generally uses the proceeds of the securitization transactions to pay down outstanding debt under its Warehouse Credit Facilities.

Refer to Note 4 — Variable Interest Entities and Securitizations to our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, for further discussion.

***Risk Retention Financing Facility***

On May 3, 2023, UACC entered into a Risk Retention Financing Facility enabling it to finance a portion of the asset-backed securities issued in its securitization transactions and held by UACC pursuant to applicable risk retention rules. Under this facility, UACC sells such retained interests and agrees to repurchase them at fair value on a future date. As of June 30, 2025, UACC pledged $31.7 million of its retained beneficial interests as collateral, and the outstanding borrowings related to this risk retention financing facility were $26.8 million with expected repurchase dates ranging from June 2027 to October 2031. The securitization trusts will distribute payments related to UACC's pledged beneficial

interests in securitizations directly to the lenders, which will reduce the beneficial interests in securitizations and the related debt balance.

***Warehouse Credit Facilities***

As of June 30, 2025, UACC has four senior secured Warehouse Credit Facilities with banking institutions. The Warehouse Credit Facilities are collateralized by eligible finance receivables and available borrowings are computed based on a percentage of eligible finance receivables.

In March 2025, we renewed Facility Two, now expiring in June 2026. The aggregate borrowing limit and significant terms of the agreement remained unchanged except for an increase in the minimum liquidity covenant. In March 2025, we also renewed Facility Four, now expiring in April 2027. The aggregate borrowing limit under this facility decreased from $225.0 million to $200.0 million and all other significant terms of the agreement remained unchanged. Warehouse Credit Facility One, which had a borrowing capacity of $200.0 million, expired on July 21, 2025, pursuant to its terms, and we elected not to renew this commitment on the basis that borrowing capacity from our other Warehouse Credit Facilities is sufficient to support our current operational needs. Following the expiration of Warehouse Credit Facility One, UACC now has three senior secured Warehouse Credit Facilities. We expect to renew Warehouse Credit Facility Three prior to its expiration on August 29, 2025.

The aggregate borrowing limit under the Warehouse Credit Facilities as of June 30, 2025 was $800.0 million, and as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q was $600.0 million. Our ability to utilize the Warehouse Credit Facilities is primarily conditioned on the satisfaction of certain legal, operating, administrative and financial covenants contained within the agreements. These include covenants that require UACC to maintain a minimum tangible net worth, minimum liquidity levels, and specified leverage ratios. Failure to satisfy these and or any other requirements contained within the agreements would restrict access to or cause us to be in default of the terms of the Warehouse Credit Facilities and could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and liquidity. Certain breaches of covenants or events of default may also result in acceleration of the repayment of borrowings prior to the scheduled maturity. As of June 30, 2025, outstanding borrowings related to the Warehouse Credit Facilities were $205.8 million and we were in compliance with all covenants under the terms of the Warehouse Credit Facilities. Refer to Note 10 —

---

***Operating Activities*** 

Net cash flows provided by (used in) operating activities from continuing operations increased by $155.4 million, from $(126.0) million net cash utilized in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 to $29.4 million net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The reduction of cash used in operating activities was primarily due to a $217.3 million decrease in originations of finance receivables held for sale. As a result of emerging from the Prepackaged Chapter 11 Case and applying fresh start accounting, our finance receivables are originated and accounted for as held for investment at fair value and are classified as investing activities prospectively. The increase in net cash flows provided by operating activities was also due to a $13.4 million improvement in net income (loss) from continuing operations after reconciling adjustments, offset by an decrease in principal payments received on finance receivables held for sale of $79.4 million.

***Investing Activities*** 

Net cash flows provided by (used in) investing activities from continuing operations decreased by $129.9 million, from $66.0 million net cash provided by investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 to $(63.9) million net cash utilized in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease in cash provided by investing activities was primarily due to a $223.1 million increase in originations of finance receivables held for investment, offset by a $96.0 million increase in principal payments received on finance receivables at fair value as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024. As a result of emerging from the Prepackaged Chapter 11 Case and applying fresh start accounting, our finance receivables are originated and accounted for as held for investment at fair value and are classified as investing activities prospectively.

***Financing Activities*** 

Net cash flows provided by financing activities from continuing operations increased by $3.3 million, from $20.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, to $23.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was primarily related to an $11.2 million increase in net cash flows from the borrowings under secured financing agreements related to the 2025-1 securitization, offset by a $4.4 million and $2.2 million decrease in net cash flows related to higher repayments on our Warehouse Credit Facilities and secured financing agreements, respectively, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024.

**Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates** 

Our condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses and related disclosures. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including, among others, those related to finance receivables, income taxes, stock-based compensation, contingencies, warranties and GAP income-related reserves, fair value measurements and useful lives of property and equipment and intangible assets. We base our estimates on historical experience, market conditions and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The critical accounting policies that reflect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements include those described in Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Note 3—Revenue Recognition to our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Except as described below, there have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates as compared to the critical accounting policies and estimates disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

***Bankruptcy***

We applied FASB Codification Topic 852, Reorganizations ("ASC 852") in preparing the consolidated financial statements starting on the Prepackaged Chapter 11 Case petition date. ASC 852 requires the financial statements, for the periods subsequent to the petition date and up to and including the Effective Date, which includes the period of emergence from Chapter 11 to distinguish transactions and events that are directly associated with the reorganization from the ongoing operations of the business. Accordingly, certain charges incurred during the bankruptcy proceedings, such as legal and professional fees incurred directly as a result of the bankruptcy proceeding, the write-off of deferred financing costs and discount on debt subject to compromise and other related charges are recorded as Reorganization items, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.

In connection with our emergence from the Prepackaged Chapter 11 Case and in accordance with ASC Topic 852, we qualified for and adopted fresh start accounting on the Effective Date. We were required to adopt fresh start accounting because (i) the holders of existing voting shares of the Predecessor received less than 50% of the voting shares of the Successor Company, and (ii) the reorganization value of our assets immediately prior to confirmation of the Plan was less than the post-petition liabilities and allowed claims. In accordance with ASC Topic 852, with the application of fresh start accounting, we allocated the reorganization value to our individual assets and liabilities (except for deferred

------

**NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** 

**(unaudited)**

income taxes) based on their estimated fair values in conformity with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations. The amount of deferred taxes was determined in accordance with ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes. The Effective Date fair values of our assets and liabilities differed materially from their recorded values as reflected on the historical balance sheets. Refer to Note 6 – Fresh Start Accounting for further details.

The results of our analysis indicated that the principal assets requiring fair value adjustments on the Effective Date included finance receivables held for sale, identified intangible assets and leased assets. The finance receivables held for sale include both finance receivables that are held in a collateralized financing entity ("CFE") and those that are not held in a CFE.

***Fresh Start Accounting***

*Finance Receivables at Fair Value*

Upon emergence from the Prepackaged Chapter 11 Case, and application of fresh start accounting, we made an accounting policy election to elect the fair value option for all finance receivables held for sale, net. The finance receivables held for sale, net were reclassified to finance receivables at fair value. The valuation of finance receivables at fair value, for which we elected the fair value option in accordance with ASC 825 but are not related to consolidated CFEs, is derived from a model that estimates the present value of future cash flows. We estimate the present value of these future cash flows using a valuation model consisting of developed estimates that rely on unobservable assumptions third-party market participants would use in determining fair value, including prepayment speed, default rate, recovery rate, as well as certain macroeconomics events we believe market participants would consider relevant. All these assumptions are primarily based on historical performance. These valuation models are calculated by combining similarly priced loans and vintages to determine a stream of expected cash flows which are then discounted. The individual discounted pools of cash flows are then aggregated to determine the total expected discounted cash flows on the outstanding receivable at a given measurement period.

The estimates for the aforementioned assumptions significantly affect the reported amount (and changes thereon) of our finance receivables at fair value on our consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of operations.

*Financial assets and liabilities of CFEs*

Upon emergence from the Prepackaged Chapter 11 Case, and application of fresh start accounting, we made an accounting policy election to apply the measurement alternative to the 2024-1 consolidated CFE.

We are required to determine whether the fair value of the financial assets or the fair value of the financial liabilities of the 2024-1 CFE are more observable, but in either case, the methodology results in the fair value of the financial assets of the securitization trust being equal to the fair value of their liabilities. We determined that the fair value of the liabilities of the 2024-1 securitization CFE are more observable, since market prices of their liabilities are based on non-binding quoted prices provided by broker dealers who make markets in similar financial instruments. The assets of the 2024-1 securitization CFE are not readily marketable, and their fair value measurement requires information that may be limited in availability.

In determining the fair value of the 2024-1 securitization debt, the broker dealers consider contractual cash payments and yields expected by market participants. Broker dealers also incorporate common market pricing methods, including a spread measurement to the treasury curve or interest rate swap curve as well as underlying characteristics of the particular security including ratings, coupon, collateral type and seasoning or age of the security. When we obtain prices from multiple broker dealers for the same security and have a consensus among them, we deem these fair values to be based on observable valuation inputs and classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Where a third-party broker dealer quote is not available, an internal model is utilized using unobservable inputs or if we have multiple quotes that are not within determined range, we classify the securitization debt as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

The financial assets of the 2024-1 consolidated CFE are an aggregate value derived from the fair value of the CFEs liabilities. We determined that finance receivables, in the 2024-1 CFE, in their entirety should be classified as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

*Intangible Assets*

The identified intangible assets of $14.2 million, which principally consisted of technology, trade names and trademarks, and customer relationships were estimated based on either the cost approach, relief from royalty or multi-period excess earnings methods. Significant assumptions for identified intangibles included royalty rates, discount rates, margins, attrition rates, revenue growth rates, and economic lives. Such fair value measurement of intangible assets is considered Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

For the technology-based intangibles that were valued using the relief from royalty income approach, the royalty rate was estimated to be 5.0% and the discount rate 25%. For the technology-based intangibles that were valued using the cost approach, the margin was estimated to be 8.5%. For trade names and trademarks valued under the relief from royalty income approach, the royalty rate was estimated to be 0.5% and the discount rate 25%. For customer related intangible assets that were valued using the multi-period excess earnings method, the attrition rate was estimated to be 10% and the discount rate 25%.

*Lease Liabilities and Right of Use Assets*

The present value of lease liabilities was measured as the present value of the remaining lease payments, as if the leases were new leases as of the Effective Date. We used our incremental borrowing rate ("IBR") as the discount rate in determining the present value of the remaining lease payments using a fundamental credit rating analysis. Based upon the corresponding lease terms, the IBRs ranged between approximately 6.2% - 7.6%. Right of use asset values were estimated based on the lease liability.

**Item 4. Controls and Procedures**

**Limitations on effectiveness of controls and procedures**

In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

**Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures**

Our management, with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of June 30, 2025.

Based on that evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have concluded that, as of June 30, 2025, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

**Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting**

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarterly period ended June 30, 2025, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

**PART II - OTHER INFORMATION**

**Item 1. Legal Proceedings** 

From time to time, we are subject to legal proceedings in the normal course of operating our business and an unfavorable resolution of any of these matters could materially affect the Company's future results of operations, cash flows or financial position. The outcome of litigation, regardless of the merits, is inherently uncertain.

On November 13, 2024, we commenced a voluntary proceeding (the "Prepackaged Chapter 11 Case") under Chapter 11 of the United States Code, 11 U.S.C. §§ 101-1532, as amended from time to time (the "Bankruptcy Code"), in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas (the "Bankruptcy Court") under the name *In re Vroom, Inc.*, Case No. 24-90571 (CML).

On January 8, 2025, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order (a) approving our disclosure statement, (b) confirming the Prepackaged Plan of Reorganization of Vroom, Inc. under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code (the "Plan"), and (c) granting related relief. On January 14, 2025, the conditions to the effectiveness of the Plan were satisfied or waived and the Plan became effective, and we emerged from the Prepackaged Chapter 11 Case.

Beginning in March 2021, multiple putative class actions were filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York by certain of the Company's stockholders against the Company and certain of the Company's officers alleging violations of federal securities laws. The lawsuits were captioned Zawatsky et al. v. Vroom, Inc. et al., Case No. 21-cv-2477; Holbrook v. Vroom, Inc. et al., Case No. 21-cv-2551; and Hudda v. Vroom, Inc. et al., Case No. 21-cv-3296. All three of the lawsuits asserted similar claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act, and SEC Rule 10b-5. In each case, the named plaintiff(s) sought to represent a proposed class of all persons who purchased or otherwise acquired the Company's securities during a period from June 9, 2020 to March 3, 2021 (in the case of Holbrook and Hudda), or November 11, 2020 to March 3, 2021 (in the case of Zawatsky). In August 2021, the Court consolidated the cases under the new name In re: Vroom, Inc. Securities Litigation, Case No. 21-cv-2477, appointed a lead plaintiff and lead counsel and ordered a consolidated amended complaint to be filed. The court-appointed lead plaintiff subsequently filed a consolidated amended complaint that reasserts claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act, and SEC Rule 10b-5 against the Company and certain of the Company's officers, and added new claims under Sections 11, 12 and 15 of the Securities Act against the Company, certain of its officers, certain of its directors, and the underwriters of the Company's September 2020 secondary offering. On March 19, 2025, the Court entered an order granting Vroom's motion to dismiss all claims, and the plaintiffs elected not to file a motion to amend their complaint. Thereafter, on May 30, 2025, the Court entered a final judgment of dismissal, for which the time period to appeal has expired. Accordingly, the cases have been closed.

In August 2021, November 2021, January 2022, and February 2022, various Company stockholders filed purported shareholder derivative lawsuits on behalf of the Company in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York against certain of the Company's officers and directors, and nominally against the Company, alleging violations of the federal securities laws and breaches of fiduciary duty to the Company and/or related violations of Delaware law based on the same general course of conduct alleged in In re: Vroom, Inc. Securities Litigation. All four lawsuits have been consolidated under the case caption In re Vroom, Inc. Shareholder Derivative Litigation, Case No. 21-cv-6933, and the court has approved the parties' stipulation that the cases would remain stayed pending final resolution of In re: Vroom, Inc. Securities Litigation. The stockholders who filed these lawsuits have voluntarily dismissed their claims and these cases have been closed.

In April 2022 and April 2024, two of the Company's stockholders filed separate purported shareholder derivative lawsuits on behalf of the Company in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware against certain of the Company's officers and directors, and nominally against the Company, alleging violations of the federal securities law and breaches of fiduciary duty to the Company and/or related violations of Delaware law based on the same general course of conduct alleged in In re: Vroom, Inc. Securities Litigation. The case filed in April 2022 is captioned Godlu v. Hennessy et al., Case No. 22-cv-569, the case filed in April 2024 is captioned Hudda v. Hennessy et al. Case No. 24-cv-4499., and the court in each has approved the parties' stipulations that each case would remain stayed pending final resolution of In re: Vroom, Inc. Securities Litigation. The stockholders who filed these lawsuits have voluntarily dismissed their claims and these cases have been closed.

In April 2022, the Attorney General of Texas filed a petition on behalf of the State of Texas in the District Court of Travis County, Texas against the Company, alleging violation of the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices - Consumer Protection Act, Texas Business and Commerce Code § 17.41 et seq., based on alleged deficiencies and other issues in the Company's marketing of used vehicles and fulfillment of customer orders, including the titling and registration of sold vehicles. According to the petition, 80% of the customer complaints referenced in the petition were received in the 12 months prior to April 2022. The petition is captioned State of Texas v. Vroom Automotive LLC, and Vroom Inc., Case No. D-1-GN-001809. In May 2022, Vroom Automotive, LLC and the Attorney General of the State of Texas agreed to a temporary injunction in which Vroom Automotive, LLC agreed to adhere to its existing practice of possessing title for all vehicles it sells or advertises as available for sale on its ecommerce platform. In December 2023, Vroom, Inc., Vroom Automotive, LLC and the Attorney General of the State of Texas reached a final agreement to resolve all claims in the petition, without any admission of wrongdoing by either Vroom entity. Under the agreement, the Company agreed to pay a total of $2 million in civil penalties and $1 million in attorneys' fees, with the first half due in September 2024 and the remaining half due in September 2025, and abide permanently by an injunction of certain operational practices that were previously implemented.

As previously disclosed, we have been subject to audits, requests for information, investigations and other inquiries from our regulators. These regulatory matters could continue to progress into legal proceedings as well as enforcement actions. We have incurred fines in certain states and could continue to incur fines, penalties, restitution, or alterations in our business practices, which in turn, could lead to increased business expenses, additional limitations on our business activities and further reputational damage, although to date such expenses have not had a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, cash flows, or results of operations.

## Section Two.02. <u>Funding Mechanics</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) The failure of any Lender to make any Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder; provided, that the Commitments of the Lenders are several and no Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender's failure to make Loans as required.

The Borrower shall apply such amounts first to the pro rata reduction of the Loans Outstanding, and second to the payment of the remaining Aggregate Unpaids with respect thereto, including any Breakage Costs, by paying such amounts to the applicable Secured Parties pro rata, based on their respective remaining Aggregate Unpaids.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) On the Commitment Termination Date, the Commitment of each Lender shall be automatically reduced to zero.

## Section Two.04. <u>Extensions of Commitments</u> 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(a)** So long as no Commitment Termination Date has occurred, the Borrower may request in writing, before the Commitment Proposed Extension Date, to each Committed Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), that each Committed Lender extend its Commitment Termination Date up to an additional 728-day period as herein provided, which request may be granted or denied by each Committed Lender in its sole discretion. On or before the last day of the Election Period, each Committed Lender shall notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of its willingness or refusal to so extend its Commitment Termination Date, provided that the failure of any Committed Lender to timely respond shall be deemed to be its refusal to so extend. If (i) one or more Committed Lenders have agreed to extend the Commitment Termination Date and (ii) at the end of the applicable Election Period, no Commitment Termination Date shall have occurred and be continuing, the Commitment Termination Date then in effect for each such Committed Lender shall be extended to the date agreed upon by the Administrative Agent and each such Committed Lender or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next preceding Business Day (or any other date as agreed upon by the Borrower and each Committed Lender); provided, that if not all Committed Lenders agree to such extension, the Borrower may elect, by notice to the Administrative Agent and the Committed Lenders, delivered not later than five Business Days after the end of the Election Period, not to have such extension become effective.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Within two Business Days following the end of an Election Period, the Administrative Agent shall notify each other Lender and the Borrower of the identity of any Dissenting Lender and the amount of its Commitment. The Borrower may (but shall not be required to) request one or more other Lenders or seek another financial institution reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent to acquire all or a portion of the Commitment of the Dissenting Lender and all amounts payable to it hereunder in accordance with Article Twelve. Each Dissenting Lender hereby agrees to assign all or a portion of its Commitment and the amounts payable to it hereunder to a replacement Lender identified by the Administrative Agent

------

in accordance with the preceding sentence, subject to ratable payment of such Dissenting Lender's Invested Percentage of the Loans Outstanding, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and a ratable portion of all fees and other amounts due to it hereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Within five Business Days following the end of an Election Period, to the extent not acquired pursuant to Section 2.04(b), each Lender that is not a Dissenting Lender shall acquire a pro rata portion of all of the Loans Outstanding owned by the Dissenting Lender. Each Dissenting Lender hereby agrees to assign such Loans Outstanding and the amounts payable to it hereunder to such Lender, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and a ratable portion of all fees and other amounts due to it hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall a Committed Lender be required on any date to purchase a portion of the Loans Outstanding that would cause its Invested Percentage of the Loans Outstanding determined after giving effect to such purchase, to exceed its Commitment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Prior to the occurrence of a Termination Event, if a Partial Expiration Event has occurred, the Administrative Agent shall give notice to the Borrower and the Servicer to apply any Collections in accordance with Section 2.08(a)(vii), to the pro rata repayment of such amounts owing to any Non-Extending Lender as of the date of the related Partial Expiration Event, commencing no later than the first Payment Date which is at least two Business Days following the Commitment Termination Date for the Non-Extending Lender, specifying the amounts thereof.

Each Note shall be dated the Closing Date and shall otherwise be duly completed and shall be delivered by the Borrower to the applicable Lender. The maturity date of each Note shall be the Final Maturity Date or such later date as to which the Administrative Agent, with the consent of each Lender, shall notify the Borrower in writing.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Each Lender is hereby authorized to enter notations (which may be computer generated) on a schedule attached to the Note with respect to the Lender Advance, regarding (i) the date and Principal Amount thereof and (ii) each payment and repayment of principal thereof and any such recordation shall constitute prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the information so recorded. The failure of a Lender to make any such notation on the schedule attached to its Note shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with their respective terms as set forth herein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Promptly following the Facility Termination Date, each Lender shall mark its Note "Paid" and return it to the Borrower.

## Section Two.07. <u>Payments</u> 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Borrower shall pay Interest on the unpaid Principal Amount of each Loan for the period from the related Funding Date until the date that such Loan shall be paid in full. Interest shall accrue during each Interest Period at the Interest Rate and be payable on the Loans

------

Outstanding on each Payment Date in accordance with <u>Section 2.08</u>, unless earlier paid pursuant to <u>Section 2.06</u> or <u>Section 2.15</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Each Lender's Invested Percentage of the Loans Outstanding shall bear Interest for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the Interest Rate for each day during each Interest Period.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Interest calculated by reference to the Interest Rate shall be calculated on the basis of (i) for the Term SOFR Rate, a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed and (ii) the Prime Rate, a 365 or 366-day year, as applicable for the actual days elapsed.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) The unpaid Principal Amount of and Interest on the Notes shall be paid as provided herein and in the Notes. Payments in respect of the unpaid Principal Amount and Interest (including pursuant to Sections 2.06 and 2.15) shall be allocated and applied to Owners of such Note based on their respective Invested Percentages, or in any such case in such other proportions as each affected Lender may agree upon in writing from time to time with the Administrative Agent and the Borrower; provided that from and after the Commitment Termination Date for each Dissenting Lender until the earlier to occur of (i) the Termination Date and (ii) the date on which the aggregate amount of payments in reduction of Loans Outstanding made after the date of the occurrence of the related Partial Expiration Event equals the Partial Expiration Event Amount, payments pursuant to Section 2.08(a)(vii) in reduction of the Partial Expiration Event Amount shall be allocated and applied to Non-Extending Lenders pro rata based on their respective Lender Percentages.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) At or before 12:01 p.m. (New York City time) on the day that is two Business Days prior to next Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender, the Borrower and the Servicer of the Benchmark or the Base Rate, as the case may be, due for the next Interest Period. Each determination of the Benchmark and Base Rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or the other Basic Documents, if at any time the rate of interest payable by any Person under the Basic Documents exceeds the Maximum Lawful Rate, then, so long as the Maximum Lawful Rate would be exceeded, such rate of interest shall be equal to the Maximum Lawful Rate. If at any time thereafter the rate of interest so payable is less than the Maximum Lawful Rate, such Person shall continue to pay Interest at the Maximum Lawful Rate until such time as the total Interest received from such Person is equal to the total Interest that would have been received had Applicable Law not limited the interest rate so payable. In no event shall the total Interest received by a Lender under this Agreement and the other Basic Documents exceed the amount which such Lender could lawfully have received, had the Interest due been calculated from the Closing Date at the Maximum Lawful Rate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or the other Basic Documents, the Loans Outstanding, together with all Aggregate Unpaids, shall be due and payable in full in immediately available funds upon the automatic occurrence, or the declaration of the occurrence, of the Termination Date in accordance with <u>Section 9.01(b)</u>.

## Section Two.13. <u>Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy; Illegality; Rating Requests</u> 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(a)** If either (i) the introduction of or any change (including any change by way of imposition or increase of reserve requirements) in or in the interpretation of any Applicable Law or (ii) the compliance by a Lender or any of its Affiliates (each, an "Affected Party") with any guideline or request from any Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), shall (A) subject an Affected Party to any Tax (except for Taxes described in <u>clauses (ii) through (iv)</u> of the definition of Excluded Taxes, any Indemnified Taxes, and Connection Income Taxes), duty or other charge with respect to a Loan hereunder, or on any payment made hereunder, (B) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve requirement (including any reserve requirement imposed by the Federal Reserve Board, but excluding any reserve requirement, if any, included in the determination of Interest), special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the amount of, or credit extended by, any Affected Party or (C) impose any other condition affecting a Loan or an Affected Party's rights hereunder, then within 30 days after demand by such Affected Party (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for such demand), the Borrower shall pay directly to such Affected Party such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Affected Party for such additional or increased cost incurred or such reduction suffered.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) If either (i) the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law, guideline, rule, regulation, directive or request (including the Dodd-Frank Act, Basel II or Basel

------

III) or (ii) compliance by any Affected Party with any law, guideline, rule, regulation, directive or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), including compliance by an Affected Party with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (including the Dodd-Frank Act, Basel II or Basel III) has the result of reducing the rate of return on an Affected Party's capital or assets as a consequence of its obligations under this Agreement, then from time to time, within 30 days after demand by such Affected Party (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for such demand), the Borrower shall pay directly to such Affected Party such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Affected Party for such reduction.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) [Reserved].

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) In determining any amount provided for in this Section, the Affected Party may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. Any Affected Party making a claim under this Section shall submit to the Borrower a certificate as to such additional or increased cost or reduction, which certificate shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) [Reserved].

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) [Reserved].

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) If any Owner or Committed Lender has, or anticipates having, any claim for compensation under the FAS 166/167 Rules against the Borrower, and such Owner or Committed Lender believes that having the transactions contemplated by this Agreement publicly rated by a Rating Agency or qualifying under the supervisory formula approach under Basel II or Basel III would reduce the amount of such compensation by an amount deemed by such Owner or Committed Lender to be material, the Administrative Agent, on behalf of such Owner or Committed Lender shall provide a Rating Request to the Borrower and the Servicer. The Borrower and the Servicer shall cooperate with the Administrative Agent's efforts to obtain the rating from the Rating Agency specified in the Rating Request within 120 days following delivery of any Rating Request, and shall provide directly or through distribution to the Administrative Agent or Owner any information such Rating Agency may require for purposes of providing and monitoring such rating. The Borrower shall pay the initial fees payable to the Rating Agency in connection with a Rating Request, and the Servicer shall pay any subsequent or ongoing fees and if the amount of the increase in compensation from obtaining a rating is less than the Rating Agency fee, the obligation to pay the Rating Agency will be borne by the applicable Secured Party and the Borrower/Servicer will reimburse the Secured Party only for the increased compensation.

## Section Two.14. <u>Taxes</u> 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) All payments made by the Obligor with respect to any Receivable and by the Borrower in respect of any Loan and all other payments made by the Borrower or the Servicer under this Agreement will be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for or on account of any Taxes, unless such withholding or deduction is required by Applicable Law. In such event, the Borrower shall pay to the appropriate taxing authority any such Taxes. If such Taxes are Indemnified Taxes, the Borrower shall increase the amount payable to each Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be (such increase, the "Additional Amount") such that

------

every net payment made under this Agreement after deduction or withholding for or on account of any Non- Excluded Taxes (including any deduction or withholding for or on account of such Additional Amount) is not less than the amount that would have been paid had no such deduction or withholding been deducted or withheld.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The Borrower will indemnify each Secured Party, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of Indemnified Taxes (including any Indemnified Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on such Additional Amounts) paid by such Secured Party or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Secured Party and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority; provided, however, that the Secured Party making a demand for indemnity payment hereunder shall provide the Borrower with a certificate from the relevant taxing authority or from a Responsible Officer of such Secured Party stating or otherwise evidencing that such Secured Party has made payment of such Taxes and will provide a copy of or extract from documentation, if available, furnished by such taxing authority evidencing assertion or payment of such Taxes. This indemnification shall be made within 10 days from the date a Secured Party makes demand therefor.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) As soon as practicable and at least within 30 days after the date of any payment by the Borrower of any Taxes pursuant to this Section, the Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address set forth in Schedule E appropriate evidence of payment thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) If a Lender is a Non-U.S. Lender, such Lender shall, to the extent that it may then do so under Applicable Law, deliver to the Borrower, with a copy to the Administrative Agent and the Paying Agent, (i) on or prior to becoming a Lender under this Agreement, (ii) within 15 days after reasonable written request of the Borrower, and (iii) upon the obsolescence of or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in any form or certificate previously delivered pursuant to this <u>Section 2.14(e)</u>, a duly completed copy of the applicable IRS Form W-8 (or any successor forms or other certificates or statements which may be required from time to time by the relevant U.S. taxing authorities or Applicable Law), including all required attachments, to permit the Borrower to make payments hereunder for the account of such Lender, as the case may be, without deduction or withholding of U.S. federal income or similar Taxes. Any Non-U.S. Lender that is claiming an exemption from U.S. withholding Tax under Code Section 871(h) or 881(c) shall provide, in addition to the documentation required by the preceding sentence, a properly executed certificate representing that such Non-U.S. Lender is not a "bank" for purposes of Code Section 881(c), is not a "10 percent shareholder" of the Borrower within the meaning of Code Section 871(h)(3)(B), and is not a "controlled foreign corporation" related to the Borrower within the meaning of Code Section 864(d)(4). If a Lender is a "United States person" as defined in Code Section 7701(a)(30), such Lender shall, to the extent that it may do so under Applicable Law, deliver to the Borrower, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, (i) on or prior to becoming a Lender under this Agreement, (ii) within 15 days after reasonable written request of the Borrower, and (iii) upon the obsolescence of or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in any

------

form or certificate previously delivered pursuant to this <u>Section 2.14(e)</u> and upon written request of the Borrower, a duly completed copy of the IRS Form W-9 (or any successor forms or other certificates or statements which may be required from time to time by the relevant U.S. taxing authorities or Applicable Law). Upon request from the Paying Agent, the Borrower will provide such additional information that it may have to assist the Paying Agent in making any withholdings or informational reports, if any.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) If a payment made to a Lender in respect of any Loan or under this Agreement would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if the recipient of such payment were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including the requirements of Code Sections 1471(b) or 1472(b), as applicable), such recipient shall deliver to the Borrower, with a copy to the Administrative Agent and the Paying Agent, at the time or times prescribed by Applicable Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including as prescribed by Code Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i)) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to comply with its 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, if any. Solely for purposes of this <u>Section 2.14(f)</u>, "FATCA" shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) Within 30 days of the written request of the Borrower to a Secured Party, the Secured Party shall execute and deliver to the Borrower such certificates, forms or other documents which can be furnished consistent with the facts and which are reasonably necessary to assist the Borrower in applying for refunds of Taxes remitted hereunder; provided, however, that (i) the Secured Party shall not be required to deliver such certificates, forms or other documents if in their respective sole discretion it is determined that the deliverance of such certificate, form or other document would have a Material Adverse Effect on the Secured Party and (ii) the Borrower shall reimburse the Secured Party for any reasonable expenses incurred in the delivery of such certificate, form or other document.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) The Borrower has entered in this Agreement, and the Notes will be issued with the intention that, for federal, State and local income, single business and franchise Tax purposes, the Notes will qualify as indebtedness of the Borrower, secured by the Collateral. The Borrower, by entering into this Agreement, and each Lender, or other Person designated by a Lender, by its acceptance of the Notes, agree to treat the Notes for federal, State and local income, single business and franchise Tax purposes as Indebtedness of the Borrower.

## Section Two.15. <u>Securitizations</u> 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) So long as no Termination Event has occurred, the Borrower shall have the right on any Business Day to prepay all or (subject to clause (v) below) a portion of the Loans Outstanding and request the Administrative Agent to release its security interest and Lien on the

------

related Receivables (and the other related Collateral) in connection with a Securitization, subject to the following terms 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;(i) The Borrower shall have given the Secured Parties, the Paying Agent and the Custodian at least five (5) Business Days' prior written notice of its intent to effect a Securitization and, at least two (2) Business Days prior to the closing of the Securitization, shall provide the Secured Parties with all information reasonably required by it to produce the related Securitization Release, substantially in the form attached hereto as <u>Exhibit H</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;(ii) Each Securitization shall reduce the Loans Outstanding either (A) to $0.00 or (B) to no less than $[\*\*\*]; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, the Administrative Agent may, acting in good faith, permit a Securitization following the occurrence of a Termination Event provided that such Securitization satisfies the other provisions of this Section and shall reduce the Loans Outstanding to $0.00.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) Unless a Securitization is to be effected on a Payment Date (in which case the relevant calculations with respect to such Securitization shall be reflected on the applicable Monthly Report), the Servicer shall deliver to the Secured Parties a Securitization Date Certificate and updated Receivable Data, together with evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Administrative Agent that the Borrower shall have sufficient funds on the related Securitization Date to effect such Securitization in accordance with this Agreement, which funds may come from the proceeds of sales of the Receivables in connection with such Securitization (which sales must be made in arm's-length transactions); provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent shall not incur (and does not assume) any liability in connection with the determination by the Servicer or the Borrower that the Borrower has sufficient funds on the related Securitization Date to effect such Securitization in accordance with this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) On the related Securitization Date, the following shall be true and correct and the Borrower shall be deemed to have certified that, after giving effect to the Securitization and the release to the Borrower of the related Receivables (and the other related Collateral) on the related Securitization Date, (A) no adverse selection procedures shall have been used by the Borrower with respect to the Receivables that will remain subject to this Agreement after giving effect to the Securitization (except as is necessary to comply with normal and customary eligibility criteria for asset-backed securities transactions involving retail auto loan receivables similar to the Receivables), (B) the representations and warranties contained in <u>Sections 5.01</u> and <u>5.02</u> are true and correct in all material respects, except to the extent relating to an earlier date, and (C) no Unmatured Termination Event, Termination Event, Early Amortization Event or Unmatured Servicer Termination Event, has occurred or will result from such Securitization.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) On the related Securitization Date, the Borrower shall pay directly to the Secured Parties, in immediately available funds, (A) the portion of the Loans Outstanding to be paid (such amount to be allocated pro rata among the lenders based on the Invested Percentages of the Lenders), (B) an amount equal to all unpaid Interest (including Interest not yet accrued) to the extent reasonably estimated by the Administrative Agent to be

------

attributable to that portion of the aggregate Loans Outstanding to be paid in connection with the Securitization, and (C) all Aggregate Unpaids then due and payable with respect thereto. The amount paid pursuant to (1) <u>clauses (A) and (B)</u> shall be deposited in the Collection Account to be applied as Available Funds pursuant to <u>Section 2.08</u> on the Securitization Date or next Payment Date (or on such Payment Date, if the Securitization Date is on a Payment Date) and (2) <u>clause (C)</u> shall be paid to the Persons to whom such amounts are to be owed on such Securitization Date. In the event that the Administrative Agent subsequently determines that the actual accrued and unpaid Interest attributable to that portion of the aggregate Loans Outstanding paid in connection with the Securitization is in excess of the amount of accrued and unpaid Interest estimated pursuant to the foregoing <u>clause (A)</u>, the Borrower will remit or cause to be remitted the amount of such excess to the Lenders in immediately available funds on the date of the Administrative Agent's request or, if commercially impracticable, promptly upon such request.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) On the related Securitization Date, the Servicer shall have received, in immediately available funds, all amounts due and payable by the Borrower to the Servicer under this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The Borrower hereby agrees to pay the reasonable legal fees, expenses and indemnities of the Custodian, the Paying Agent, the Servicer and the Secured Parties in connection with any Securitization (including expenses incurred in connection with the release of the Lien of the Secured Parties in connection with such Securitization).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) In connection with any Securitization, on the related Securitization Date, subject to satisfaction of the conditions referred to in this Section, the Administrative Agent shall, at the expense of the Borrower, (i) execute such instruments of release with respect to the portion of the related Receivables (and the other related Collateral) to be released to the Borrower, including a Securitization Release, in favor of the Borrower as the Borrower may reasonably request, (ii) deliver or cause to be delivered any portion of the related Receivables (and the other related Collateral) to be released to the Borrower to the Borrower and (iii) otherwise take such actions, and cause or permit the Servicer to take such actions, as are necessary and appropriate to release the Lien of the Administrative Agent on the portion of the related Receivables (and the other related Collateral) to be released to the Borrower and deliver to the Borrower such related Receivables and related Collateral.

## Section Two.16. <u>Sharing of Payments, Etc.</u> 
If, other than as expressly provided elsewhere herein, any Lender shall obtain on account of the Notes owned by it any payment in excess of its Invested Percentage in such payment, such Lender shall immediately (i) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact and (ii) purchase from the other Lenders such participations made by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment pro rata (based on the Lender Percentage of each Lender) with each of them; *provided, however*, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender, such purchase shall to that extent be rescinded and each other Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price paid therefor, together with an amount equal to such paying Lender's ratable share (according to the proportion of (a) the amount of such paying Lender's required repayment to (b) the total amount so recovered from the

------

purchasing Lender) of any Interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender may, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender was the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. Each such Lender will keep its own records (which shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error) of participations purchased under this Section.

## Section Two.17. <u>The Paying Agent</u> 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Borrower hereby appoints [\*\*\*] as the initial Paying Agent. All payments of amounts due and payable in respect of the Obligations that are to be made from amounts withdrawn from the Collection Account shall be made on behalf of the Borrower by the Paying Agent in accordance with <u>Section 2.08</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The Paying Agent shall be compensated for its activities hereunder and the Account Control Agreement by receiving the Paying Agent Fee. The Paying Agent Fee shall be payable in accordance with the priorities specified in <u>Section 2.08</u> or, at the option of the Servicer, may be paid directly to the Paying Agent by the Servicer. The Borrower shall indemnify the Paying Agent and its officers, directors, employees and agents for, and hold them harmless against any fee, damage, loss, liability or expense incurred (including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and court costs, including, without limitation, those incurred in connection with any enforcement (including any action, claim, or suit brought) by the Paying Agent of any indemnification or other obligation of Borrower), other than in connection with the willful misconduct, gross negligence or bad faith on the part of the Paying Agent, arising out of or in connection with (i) the performance of its obligations under and in accordance with this Agreement and the Account Control Agreement, including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties under this Agreement or the Account Control Agreement and (ii) the negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of the Borrower in the performance of its duties hereunder or thereunder. All such amounts shall be payable in accordance with <u>Section 2.08</u>. The provisions of this Section shall survive the resignation or removal of any party and the termination or assignment of this Agreement. Anything in this Agreement or the Account Control Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall Paying Agent be liable for special, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, lost profits), even if Paying Agent has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

THE FOREGOING INDEMNIFICATION SHALL APPLY WHETHER OR NOT SUCH LIABILITIES AND COSTS ARE IN ANY WAY OR TO ANY EXTENT OWED, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, UNDER ANY CLAIM OR THEORY OF STRICT LIABILITY.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The Paying Agent shall be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically undertaken by the Paying Agent in such capacity herein and under the Account Control Agreement. No implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement or the Account Control Agreement against the Paying Agent and, in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Paying Agent, the Paying Agent may conclusively rely on the truth of the

------

statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed in any certificates or opinions furnished to the Paying Agent pursuant to and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) The Paying Agent shall not be liable for:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) an error of judgment made in good faith by one of its Responsible Officers; 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;(ii) any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken in good faith in accordance with or believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred, by this Agreement or at the direction of a Secured Party relating to the exercise of any power conferred upon the Paying Agent under this Agreement in each case unless it shall be proved that the Paying Agent shall have been negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) The Paying Agent shall not be charged with knowledge of any event or information, including any Early Amortization Event, Servicer Termination Event, Unmatured Servicer Termination Event, Termination Event or Unmatured Termination Event unless a Responsible Officer of the Paying Agent obtains actual knowledge of such event or receives written notice of such event or information from the Borrower, the Servicer, or any Secured Party, as the case may be, and shall have no duty to take any action to determine whether any such event has occurred.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) Without limiting the generality of this Section, the Paying Agent shall have no duty (i) to see to, or with respect to the accuracy of, any recording, filing or depositing of this Agreement or any agreement referred to herein or any financing statement or continuation statement evidencing a security interest in the Collateral, or to see to the maintenance of any such recording or filing or depositing or to any recording, refiling or redepositing of any thereof, (ii) to see to any Insurance Policy on the Financed Vehicles or Obligors or to effect or maintain any such Insurance Policy, (iii) to see to the payment or discharge of any Tax, assessment or other governmental charge or any Lien or encumbrance of any kind owing with respect to, assessed or levied against, any part of the Contracts, (iv) to re-calculate or confirm or verify the contents of any reports or certificates of the Servicer or the Borrower or any other Person delivered to the Paying Agent pursuant to this Agreement or the Account Control Agreement believed by the Paying Agent to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties or (v) to inspect the Financed Vehicles at any time or ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the Borrower's or the Servicer's representations and warranties or covenants or the Servicer's duties and obligations as Servicer and as Custodian of books, Records, files and computer records relating to the Contracts under this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) The Paying Agent shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there shall be reasonable ground for believing that the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability shall not be reasonably assured to it, and none of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall in any event require the Paying Agent to perform, or be responsible for the manner of performance of, any of the obligations of the Servicer, the Borrower or any other Person under this Agreement.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) The Paying Agent may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, Officer's Certificate, Monthly Report, certificate of auditors or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties. The Paying Agent shall be under no duty to inquire into or investigate the validity, accuracy or content of any such document.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) The Paying Agent may consult with counsel of its choice with regard to legal questions arising out of or in connection with this Agreement and the advice or opinion of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, omitted or suffered by the Paying Agent in good faith in accordance therewith.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j) The Paying Agent shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights, powers or remedies vested in it by this Agreement or to undertake any discretionary action, or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation under this Agreement or in relation to this Agreement, at the request, order or direction of the Administrative Agent pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, unless the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, or any other party hereto shall have offered to the Paying Agent security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities that may be incurred therein or thereby.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(k) The Paying Agent shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts of matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or document, unless requested in writing so to do by a Secured Party; provided, that if the payment within a reasonable time to the Paying Agent of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation shall be, in the opinion of the Paying Agent, not reasonably assured by the Borrower, the Paying Agent may require indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against such cost, expense or liability as a condition to so proceeding. The reasonable expense of every such examination shall be paid by the Borrower or, if paid by the Paying Agent, shall be reimbursed by the Borrower pursuant to <u>Section 2.08</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(l) The Paying Agent may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties under this Agreement either directly or by or through agents or attorneys or a custodian. The Paying Agent shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence of any such agent or custodian appointed with due care by it hereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(m) The Paying Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities except those that are specifically set forth herein and the other Basic Documents to which it is a party, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Paying Agent. The Paying Agent shall have the right to request instructions from the Administrative Agent, the Borrower or the Servicer with respect to any act, action or failure to act in connection with and as set forth in this Agreement, and the Paying Agent shall be entitled to refrain from taking such action and continue to refrain from acting unless and until the Paying Agent shall have received written instructions from the Administrative Agent, the Borrower or the Servicer, as applicable, without incurring any liability therefor to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower, the Servicer or any other person, and shall further be entitled to conclusively rely on any such instruction received.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(n) The Paying Agent may act in reliance upon any written communication of the Administrative Agent concerning the delivery of Collateral pursuant to this Agreement. The Paying Agent does not assume and shall have no responsibility for, and makes no representation as to, monitoring the value of the Receivables and other Collateral. The Paying Agent shall not be liable for any action or omission to act hereunder, except for its own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.

THE FOREGOING PARAGRAPH SHALL APPLY WHETHER OR NOT SUCH LIABILITIES ARE IN ANY WAY OR TO ANY EXTENT OWED, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, UNDER ANY CLAIM OR THEORY OF STRICT LIABILITY.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(o) If the Paying Agent shall at any time receive conflicting instructions from the Administrative Agent and the Servicer or any other party to this Agreement and the conflict between such instructions cannot be resolved by reference to the terms of this Agreement, the Paying Agent shall be entitled to rely on the instructions of the Administrative Agent. In the absence of bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Paying Agent, the Paying Agent may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, Officer's Certificate, Monthly Report, certificate of auditors, or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice request, consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties. The Paying Agent may rely upon the validity of documents delivered to it, without investigation as to their authenticity or legal effectiveness, and the Paying Agent shall not be liable to the Servicer or any other party to this Agreement in respect of any claims that may arise or be asserted against the Paying Agent because of the invalidity of any such documents or their failure to fulfill their intended purpose. The Paying Agent shall not be bound to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms of this Agreement or any other agreement on the part of any party, except as may otherwise be specifically set forth herein, and may assume performance thereby absent actual knowledge of, or written notice to, a Responsible Officer of the Paying Agent to the contrary.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(p) The Paying Agent is authorized, in its sole discretion, to disregard any and all notices or instructions given by any other party hereto or by any other Person other than any such notices or instructions as are expressly provided for in this Agreement or the Account Control Agreement and orders or process of any court entered or issued with or without jurisdiction. If any property subject hereto is at any time attached, garnished or levied upon under any court order or in case the payment, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery of any such property shall be stayed or enjoined by any court order, or in case any order, judgment or decree shall be made or entered by any court affecting such property or any part hereof, then and in any of such events the Paying Agent is authorized, in its sole discretion, to rely upon and comply with any such order, writ, judgment or decree with which it is advised by legal counsel of its own choosing is binding upon it, and if it complies with any such order, writ, judgment or decree it shall not be liable to any other party hereto or to any other Person by reason of such compliance even though such order, writ, judgment or decree maybe subsequently reversed, modified, annulled, set aside or vacated.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(q) The Paying Agent shall not be imputed with any knowledge of, or information possessed or obtained by any other Person, or any affiliate, line of business, or other division of [\*\*\*] (and vice versa). Information contained in any reports (including Monthly Reports)

------

delivered to the Paying Agent and any other publicly available information shall not constitute actual or constructive knowledge or notice.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(r) Before the Paying Agent acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officer's Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel, as applicable (at the expense of the party requesting the Paying Agent act or refrain from acting). The Paying Agent shall not be liable for any action it takes, suffers or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such Officer's Certificate or Opinion of Counsel.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(s) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Paying Agent shall not be required to take any action that is not in accordance with Applicable Law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(t) The right of the Paying Agent to perform any permissive or discretionary act enumerated in this Agreement or any related document shall not be construed as a duty.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(u) The Paying Agent shall not be responsible for the recitals in this Agreement (which are the statements of the Borrower).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) In no event shall Paying Agent be liable either directly or indirectly for losses or delays resulting from any Force Majeure Event to the extent beyond Paying Agent's reasonable control.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(w) The rights, benefits, protections and indemnities afforded to the Paying Agent hereunder shall apply equally to the Paying Agent under any other Basic Document to which it is a party.

## Section Two.18. <u>Interest Rate Replacement; Illegality</u> 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Basic Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (a) of the definition of "Benchmark Replacement" for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Basic Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Basic Document and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (b) of the definition of "Benchmark Replacement" for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Basic Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5<sup>th</sup>) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Basic Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders. If the Benchmark Replacement is Daily Simple SOFR, all interest payments will be payable on a monthly basis.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes</u>. In connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative

------

Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Basic Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Basic Document; provided, however, that any such amendment must not affect Owner Trustee's or the Paying Agent's rights, indemnities or obligations without its consent.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) <u>Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations</u>. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (iii) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement. The Administrative Agent will notify the Borrower of (x) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Section 2.18(d) and (y) the commencement of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 2.18, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Basic Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.18.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) <u>Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark</u>. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Basic Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including Term SOFR) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is not or will not be representative of the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of "Interest Period" (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is not or will not be representative of the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of "Interest Period" (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor. Neither the Owner Trustee nor the Paying Agent shall be (i) responsible for making decisions or determinations in connection with any Benchmark Replacement or Benchmark Transition Event or (ii) have any liability for any determination, decision or election made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent or the Borrower in connection with a Benchmark Transition Event or a Benchmark Replacement. Each Lender shall be deemed to waive and release any and all claims against the Owner Trustee and the Paying Agent

------

relating to any such determination, decision or election by the Administrative Agent or the Borrower.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) <u>Benchmark Unavailability Period</u>. Upon the Borrower's receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, (i) the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Term SOFR Loan of, conversion to or continuation of Term SOFR Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans and (ii) any outstanding affected Term SOFR Loans will be deemed to have been converted to Base Rate Loans at the end of the applicable Interest Period. During a Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of the Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of the Base Rate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) <u>Illegality</u>. Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, if any Law shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make, fund or maintain Term SOFR Loans, such Lender shall promptly give notice of such circumstances to Administrative Agent, Borrower and the other Lenders. In such an event, (i) the commitment of the Lenders to make Term SOFR Loans, continue Term SOFR Loans as Term SOFR Loans or convert Base Rate Loans to Term SOFR Loans shall be immediately suspended and (ii) any outstanding Term SOFR Loans shall be converted automatically to Base Rate Loans on the last day of the Interest Period thereof or at such earlier time as may be required by Law.

## Section Three.02. <u>Release of Collateral; No Legal Title</u> 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) At the same time as any Contract relating to a Receivable (i) expires by its terms and all amounts in respect thereof have been paid by the related Obligor and deposited in either Account or (ii) has been prepaid in full and all amounts in respect thereof have been paid by the related Obligor and deposited in either Account, the Administrative Agent will, to the extent requested by the Servicer, promptly release its interest and Lien in such Contract and the related Collateral.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Borrower agrees that from time to time, at its expense, it will promptly execute and deliver all instruments and documents, and take all actions, that may reasonably be necessary or desirable, or that the Administrative Agent may deem necessary, to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the security interest granted to the Administrative Agent in the Receivables and the other Collateral, or to enable any Secured Party to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder; provided, that prior to the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event, Custodian Termination Event or a Termination Event, the Borrower shall not be required to (i) deliver any Receivable Files to any Person other than the Custodian, or (ii) cause any Certificate of Title to be revised to name any Secured Party as Lienholder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) If the Borrower fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder after three Business Days' notice from any Secured Party, any Secured Party may (but shall not be required to) perform, or cause performance of, such obligation; and the reasonable costs and expenses of such Secured Party incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by the Borrower as provided in Article

------

Ten. The Borrower irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent and appoints the Administrative Agent, as its attorney-in-fact to act on behalf of the Borrower, (i) to execute or cause to be executed on behalf of the Borrower as debtor and to file financing statements necessary or desirable in the Administrative Agent's sole discretion to perfect and to maintain the perfection and priority of the interest of the Secured Parties in the Receivables and the other Collateral, including financing statements that describe the Collateral covered thereby as "all assets of the Borrower whether now owned or existing or hereafter acquired or arising and wheresoever located" or words of similar effect and (ii) to file a carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement or any financing statement with respect to the Receivables and the other Collateral, as a financing statement in such offices as the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion deems necessary or desirable to perfect and to maintain the perfection and priority of the interests of the Secured Parties in the Receivables and the other Collateral. Such financing statements may describe the Collateral in the same manner as described herein or may contain an indication or description of Collateral that describes such property in any other manner as the Administrative Agent may determine, in its reasonable discretion, is necessary, advisable or prudent to ensure the perfection of the security interest in the Collateral granted to the Administrative Agent herein, including, without limitation, describing such property as "all assets" or "all personal property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired." This appointment is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.

## Section Three.04. <u>Assignment of the Purchase Agreement</u> 
The Borrower hereby represents, warrants and confirms to the Administrative Agent that the Borrower has assigned to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties hereunder, all of the Borrower's right and title to and interest in the Purchase Agreement. The Borrower confirms that the Administrative Agent shall have the sole right to enforce the Borrower's rights and remedies under the Purchase Agreement for the benefit of the Secured Parties, but without any obligation on the part of the Secured Parties or any of their respective Affiliates, to perform any of the obligations of the Borrower under the Purchase Agreement. The Borrower further confirms and agrees that such assignment to the Administrative Agent shall terminate upon the Facility Termination Date; provided, however, that the rights of the Secured Parties pursuant to such assignment with respect to rights and remedies in connection with any [\*\*\*] and any breach of any representation, warranty or covenants made by the Seller pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, which rights and remedies survive the termination of the Purchase Agreement, shall be continuing and shall survive any termination of such assignment.

## Section Three.05. <u>Waiver of Certain Laws</u> 
Each of the Borrower, the Servicer, the Paying Agent and the Custodian agrees, to the full extent that it may lawfully so agree, that neither it nor anyone claiming through or under it will set up, claim or seek to take advantage of any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or redemption law now or hereafter in force in any locality where any part of the Collateral may be situated in order to prevent, hinder or delay the enforcement or foreclosure of this Agreement, or the absolute sale of any of the Collateral or any part thereof, or the final and absolute putting into possession thereof, immediately after such sale, of the purchasers thereof, and each of the Borrower, the Servicer, the Paying Agent and the Custodian for itself and all who may at any time claim through or under it, hereby waives, to the full extent that it may be lawful so to do, the benefit of all such

laws, and any and all right to have any of the properties or assets constituting the Collateral marshaled upon any such sale, and agrees that the Administrative Agent or any court having jurisdiction to foreclose the security interests granted in this Agreement may sell the Collateral as an entirety or in such parcels as the Administrative Agent or such court may determine.

The Borrower shall have given reasonably equivalent value to the Seller in consideration for the transfer to the Borrower of the Receivables and the related Collateral under the Purchase Agreement, no such transfer shall have been made for or on account of an antecedent debt owed by the Seller to the Borrower and no such transfer is or may be voidable or subject to avoidance under any section of the Bankruptcy Code.

The Trust Agreement provides that the Owner Trustee, prior to consenting to the filing by the Borrower of a voluntary petition under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Insolvency Laws, shall consider the interests of all Secured Parties and whether the Borrower is not Solvent. Each of the Borrower and UACC is aware that in light of the circumstances described in the preceding sentence and other relevant facts, the filing of a voluntary petition under the Bankruptcy Code for the purpose of making any Receivable or any other assets of the Borrower available to satisfy claims of the creditors of UACC would not result in making such assets available to satisfy such creditors under the Bankruptcy Code.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(w) <u>Investment Company Act</u>.

The Servicer, in making collection of Receivable payments pursuant to this Agreement, shall be acting as agent for the Borrower and the Secured Parties, and shall be deemed to be holding such funds in trust on behalf of and as agent for the Secured Parties; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not be empowered to, and shall not, (x) make or attempt to make any change to the Authoritative Copy of any Electronic Contract

If the Servicer (i) makes a deposit into the Collection Account in respect of a Collection of a Receivable and such Collection was received by the Servicer that is not honored for any reason, (ii) makes a mistake with respect to the amount of any collection and deposits an amount that is less than or more than the actual amount of such collection or (iii) is entitled to reimbursement of any ancillary fees in accordance with <u>Section 7.02</u>, the Servicer shall appropriately adjust the amount subsequently deposited into the Collection Account to reflect such mistake or reimbursement. Any Collection which is dishonored shall be deemed not to have been paid.

## Section Seven.05. <u>Payment of Certain Expenses by Servicer</u>

------

## Section Seven.07. <u>Due Diligence</u> 
Up to one (1) time each calendar year, at such times during normal business hours as are reasonably convenient to the Borrower, the Servicer or the Custodian, as the case may be, at the sole cost and expense of the Servicer (provided that such costs and expenses shall be limited to $[\*\*\*] per annum unless an Early Amortization Event, a Termination Event, Unmatured Termination Event, Unmatured Servicer Termination Event or Servicer Termination Event shall have occurred) and upon reasonable request of the Secured Parties and prior written notice to the Borrower, the Servicer or the Custodian, as the case may be, the Borrower, the Servicer or the Custodian, as the case may be, shall permit such Person or Persons as the Secured Parties may designate to conduct, on behalf of all of them, audits or to visit and inspect any of the properties of the Borrower, the Servicer (including any Subservicer) or the Custodian where the Receivable Files are located, as the case may be, to examine the Receivable Files, internal controls and procedures maintained by the Borrower, the Servicer or the Custodian, as the case may be, and take copies and extracts therefrom, and to discuss the affairs of the Borrower, the Servicer (including any Subservicer) or the Custodian with their respective officers and employees (which employees, except after the occurrence of an Early Amortization Event, a Termination Event, Unmatured Termination Event, Unmatured Servicer Termination Event or Servicer Termination Event, shall be designated by the Borrower, the Servicer or the Custodian, as the case may be) and, upon written notice to the Borrower, the Servicer or the Custodian, as the case may be, independent accountants; provided, further, that after the occurrence of a Termination Event, Unmatured Termination Event, Unmatured Servicer Termination Event or Servicer Termination Event, the Secured Parties or its representatives shall be permitted to take the foregoing actions without being subject to any limitation on the number of audits, visits or inspections that may be conducted during a calendar year and such audits, visits or inspections shall be at the sole cost and expense of the Servicer; provided, that the Secured Parties and its representatives shall make reasonable efforts to coordinate, and provide 30 days' prior written notice of, such audits, visits and inspections. The Borrower, the Servicer or the Custodian, as the case may be, hereby authorizes such officers, employees and independent accountants (and the Servicer shall cause each Subservicer to authorize such officers, employees and independent accountants) to discuss with the Secured Parties and its representatives, the affairs of the Borrower, the Servicer or the Custodian, as the case may be. The Servicer shall reimburse the Secured Parties for all reasonable fees, costs and expenses incurred by or on behalf of the Secured Parties in connection with the foregoing actions promptly upon receipt of a written invoice therefor. Any audit provided for herein shall be conducted in accordance with the rules of the Borrower, Servicer and Custodian respecting safety and security on its premises and without materially disrupting operations. Nothing in this subsection shall affect the obligation of the Servicer or Custodian to observe any Applicable Law prohibiting the disclosure of information regarding the Obligors, and the failure of the Servicer or Custodian to provide access to information as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this subsection.

## Section Seven.08. <u>Annual Statement as to Compliance</u> 
The Servicer shall deliver to the Secured Parties, on or before April 30<sup>th</sup> of each year, beginning in 2024, an Officer's Certificate, dated as of the preceding December 31<sup>st</sup>, stating that (i) a review of the activities of the Servicer during the preceding 12-month period (or since the Closing Date in the case of the first such Officer's Certificate) and of its performance under this

------

Agreement has been made under such officer's supervision and (ii) to the best of such officer's knowledge, based on such review, the Servicer has fulfilled all its obligations under this Agreement throughout such year (or such shorter period in the case of the first such Officer's Certificate), or, if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any such obligation, specifying each such default known to such officer and the nature and status thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that in connection with public or private offerings of automobile receivable-backed securities by UACC or any Affiliate thereof, Regulation AB under the Securities Act requires the delivery by servicers of an annual report on an assessment of servicing compliance on the basis of detailed servicing criteria or other report, the delivery of a copy of such report by the Servicer to the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to satisfy the provisions of this subsection.

## Section Seven.09. <u>Annual Independent Public Accountant's Reports</u> 
To the extent prepared on behalf of the Servicer in connection with the public or private offering of securities backed by or relating to automobile receivables, the Servicer will deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, on or before April 30<sup>th</sup> of each year beginning in 2024, a copy of a report prepared by a firm of independent certified public accountants, who may also render other services to the Servicer or any of its Affiliates, addressed to the Board of Directors of the Servicer or any of its Affiliates, the Secured Parties and dated during the current year, to the effect that such firm has examined the Servicer's [\*\*\*] and issued its report thereon and expressing a summary of findings (based on certain procedures performed on the documents, records and accounting records that such accountants considered appropriate under the circumstances) relating to the servicing of the Receivables and the administration of the Receivables (including the preparation of the Monthly Reports) during the preceding calendar year (or such shorter period in the case of the first such report) and that such servicing and administration was conducted in compliance with the terms of this Agreement, except for (i) such exceptions as such firm shall believe to be immaterial and (ii) such other exceptions as shall be set forth in such report and that such examination (a) was performed in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and (b) included tests relating to auto loans serviced for others in accordance with the requirements of the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers, to the extent the procedures in such program are applicable to the servicing obligations set forth in this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that in connection with public or private offerings of automobile receivable-backed securities by UACC or any Affiliate thereof, Regulation AB under the Securities Act requires the delivery of an annual attestation of a firm of independent public accountants with respect to the assessment of servicing compliance with specified servicing criteria of the Servicer stating, among other things, that the Servicer's assertion of compliance with the specified servicing criteria is fairly stated in all material respects, or the reason why such an opinion cannot be expressed, the delivery of a copy of such an attestation to the Secured Parties shall be deemed to satisfy the provisions of this Section.

In the event such independent certified public accountants require the Custodian or the Paying Agent to agree to the procedures to be performed by such firm in any of the reports required to be prepared pursuant to this Section, the Servicer shall direct the Custodian or the Paying Agent in writing to so agree; it being understood and agreed that the Custodian or the Paying Agent will deliver such letter of agreement in conclusive reliance upon the direction of the Servicer, and the Custodian and the Paying Agent have not made any independent inquiry or investigation as to, and

------

shall have no obligation or liability in respect of, the sufficiency, validity or correctness of such procedures.

Such report shall also indicate that the firm is "Independent" of the Servicer and its Affiliates within the meaning of the Code of Professional Ethics of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.

## Section Seven.10. <u>[Reserved]</u> 

## Section Seven.11. <u>Rights After Designation of Successor Servicer; Liability</u> 
At any time following the designation of a Successor Servicer pursuant to <u>Section 7.15</u> as a result of the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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 outgoing Servicer, on behalf of the Borrower, shall, at the Administrative Agent's request, (i) assemble all of the Records relating to the Collateral, including all Receivable Files, and shall make the same available to the Administrative Agent, the Successor Servicer at a place selected by the Administrative Agent or, with the Administrative Agent's prior written consent, by the Successor Servicer, and (ii) segregate all cash, checks and other instruments received by it from time to time constituting Collections of Collateral in a manner acceptable to the Administrative Agent and shall, promptly upon receipt but no later than two Business Days after receipt, remit all such cash, checks and instruments, duly endorsed or with duly executed instruments of transfer to, or at the direction of, the Administrative 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;(b) The Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to take or cause to be taken any and all steps in the Borrower's name and on behalf of the Borrower necessary or desirable, in the determination of the Administrative Agent, to collect all amounts due under the Collateral, including endorsing the Borrower's name on checks and other instruments representing Collections and enforcing the Receivables.

## Section Seven.12. <u>Limitation on Liability of the Servicer and Others</u> 
Except as expressly provided herein, neither the Servicer nor any of its directors or officers or employees or agents shall be under any liability to the Secured Parties or any other Person for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Servicer or any such Person against any liability that would otherwise be imposed by reason of its willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties.

## Section Seven.13. <u>The Servicer Not to Resign</u> 
The Servicer shall resign only with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent or if the Servicer provides an Opinion of Counsel to the Administrative Agent to the effect that such Servicer is no longer permitted by Applicable Law to act as Servicer hereunder. No termination or resignation of the Servicer hereunder shall be effective until a Successor Servicer, acceptable to the Administrative Agent has accepted its appointment as Successor Servicer hereunder and has agreed to be bound by the terms of this Agreement (except as modified in the

------

Servicing Agreement between the Borrower, the successor Servicer and the Administrative Agent) and the Receivable Files shall have been delivered to a successor Custodian.

## Section Seven.14. <u>Servicer Termination Events</u> 
The occurrence and continuance of any one of the following events shall constitute a "Servicer Termination Event" hereunder:

[\*\*\*].

Upon the occurrence of any of the foregoing events, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, so long as any such Servicer Termination Event shall not have been remedied within any applicable cure period or waived in writing by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent, by written notice to the Servicer (with a copy to the Custodian) (each, a "Servicer Termination Notice"), may (i) terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer as Servicer under this Agreement and (ii) direct the Servicer to cause Collections to be deposited into an account other than the Lockbox Account, the Post Office Boxes and the Collection Account; provided, that such other account must be established by the Successor Servicer or the Paying Agent at the Account Bank or another Qualified Institution and (iii) direct the Servicer to delegate any or all of its duties and obligations hereunder to one or more Subservicers and (iv) direct the Servicer to deliver, or cause to be delivered, the Receivable Files and the related accounts and records maintained by the Servicer to the Administrative Agent, or its agent or designee, at such place as the Administrative Agent may reasonably designate with written notice to the Lenders.

## Section Seven.15. <u>Appointment of Successor Servicer or Subservicer</u> 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Upon resignation of the Servicer pursuant to <u>Section 7.08</u> or on and after the receipt by the Servicer of a Servicer Termination Notice, the outgoing Servicer shall continue to perform all servicing functions under this Agreement until the later of (A) date specified in the Servicer Termination Notice or otherwise specified by the Administrative Agent in writing or, if no such date is specified in such Servicer Termination Notice or otherwise specified by the Administrative Agent, until a date mutually agreed upon by the Servicer and the Administrative Agent and (B) the date on which the Successor Servicer has accepted its appointment as Servicer hereunder; p<u>rovided that</u>, if no Successor Servicer shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 60 calendar days after the giving of such notice of resignation or receipt of such Servicer Termination Notice, the resigning Servicer may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Servicer. The Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, at the time described in the immediately preceding sentence, appoint a successor servicer (the "<u>Successor Servicer</u>"), and such Successor Servicer shall accept its appointment by a written assumption in a form acceptable to the Administrative Agent. In the event that a Successor Servicer has not accepted its appointment at the time when the Servicer ceases to act as Servicer, the Administrative Agent shall petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint any established financial institution and whose regular business includes the servicing of automobile receivables as the Successor Servicer hereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Upon the resignation or termination and removal of the Servicer, the predecessor Servicer shall cooperate with the Successor Servicer in effecting the termination of the rights and

------

responsibilities of the predecessor Servicer under this Agreement, including the transfer to the Successor Servicer for administration by it of all cash amounts that shall at the time be held by the predecessor Servicer for deposit, or shall thereafter be received, with respect to a Receivable, and the related accounts and records maintained by the Servicer. In the case that the Successor Servicer or Subservicer shall not agree to perform any duties or obligations of the Servicer hereunder, such duties or obligations may be performed or delegated by the Administrative Agent. The Servicer, if other than UACC, shall as soon as practicable upon demand, deliver to the Borrower all records in its possession which evidence or relate to debt of an Obligor which is not a Receivable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The Administrative Agent shall have the same rights of removal and termination as contracted with respect to the Successor Servicer as with respect to UACC as the Servicer or as specified in the successor Servicing Agreement between the successor Servicer, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) All reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees and disbursements) incurred in connection with the transferring of Receivables from the Servicer to the Successor Servicer, converting the Servicer's data to the computer system of the Successor Servicer, and amending this Agreement to reflect such succession as Servicer pursuant to this Section shall be paid by the predecessor Servicer upon presentation of reasonable transition expenses not exceeding $[\*\*\*] (the "Transition Expenses"); provided, *however*, if the Servicer breaches the obligations of Sections 7.03(a) or 7.15(b) hereof Transition Expenses shall be limited to any out of pocket expenses of the Lenders allocated to the servicing transition. If the predecessor Servicer fails to pay the Transition Expenses, the Transition Expenses shall be payable pursuant to <u>Section 2.08</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) Upon its appointment and acceptance, the Successor Servicer shall, except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, be the successor in all respects to the Servicer with respect to servicing functions under this Agreement and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on the Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof, and all references in this Agreement to the Servicer shall be deemed to refer to the Successor Servicer (unless the Successor Servicer, with the consent of the Administrative Agent, enters into a separate agreement with respect to the servicing duties hereunder, in which case the terms and provisions of such successor servicing agreement shall prevail); provided, however, that any Successor Servicer shall have (i) no liability with respect to any obligation which was required to be performed by the predecessor Servicer prior to the date that the successor becomes the Successor Servicer or any claim based on any alleged action or inaction of the predecessor Servicer, (ii) no obligation to perform any repurchase or advancing obligations, if any, of the Servicer, (iii) no obligation to pay any taxes required to be paid by the Servicer, (iv) no obligation to pay any of the fees and expenses of any other party to this Agreement and (v) no liability or obligation with respect to any Servicer indemnification obligations of any prior Servicer, including UACC.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) All authority and power granted to the Servicer under this Agreement shall automatically cease and terminate upon termination of this Agreement and shall pass to and be vested in the Borrower and the Borrower is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, all documents and other instruments, and to do and accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such transfer of servicing rights. The Servicer agrees to cooperate with the

------

Borrower in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the Servicer to conduct servicing of the Receivables.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) The Successor Servicer shall act as Servicer hereunder and shall, subject to the availability of sufficient funds in the Collection Account pursuant to <u>Section 2.08(a)(i)</u> (up to the Servicing Fee), receive as compensation therefor the Servicing Fee pursuant to <u>Section 2.12(b)</u>.

## Section Seven.16. <u>Merger or Consolidation, Assumption of Obligations or Resignation of the Servicer</u> 
Any Person (a) into which the Servicer may be merged or consolidated, (b) which may result from any merger or consolidation to which the Servicer may be a party, (c) which may succeed to the properties and assets of the Servicer substantially as a whole or (d) which may succeed to the duties and obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement following the resignation of the Servicer, which Person executes an agreement of assumption acceptable to the Administrative Agent to perform every obligation of the Servicer hereunder, shall, with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), be the successor to the Servicer under this Agreement without further act on the part of any of the parties to this Agreement; *provided, however*, 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;(i) prior written notice of such consolidation, merger, succession or resignation shall be delivered by the Servicer to the Secured Parties and the Custodian;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) immediately after giving effect to such consolidation, merger, succession or resignation, no Servicer Termination Event or Unmatured Servicer Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) no Termination Event or Unmatured Termination Event would occur as result of such consolidation, merger, succession or resignation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) so long as UACC is the Servicer, the Servicer shall have delivered to the Secured Parties and the Custodian (if other than UACC) an Officer's Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger, succession or resignation and such agreement of assumption comply with this Section and that all conditions precedent provided for in this Agreement and the other Servicer Basic Documents relating to such transaction have 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;(v) so long as UACC is the Servicer, the Servicer shall have delivered to the Borrower, the Secured Parties and the Custodian (if other than UACC) an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that either: (A) in the opinion of such counsel, all financing statements, continuation statements and amendments and notations on Certificates of Title thereto have been executed and filed that are necessary to preserve and protect the interest of the Borrower, the Secured Parties and the Custodian in the Receivables and reciting the details of such filings or (B) no such action shall be necessary to preserve and protect such interest.

------

## Section Seven.17. <u>Responsibilities of the Borrower</u> 
Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower shall (i) perform or cause the Servicer to perform all of its obligations under the Receivables to the same extent as if a security interest in such Receivables had not been granted hereunder, and the exercise by the Administrative Agent of its rights hereunder shall not relieve the Borrower from such obligations and (ii) pay when due, from funds available to the Borrower under <u>Section 2.08(a)(x)</u>, any Taxes, including any sales Taxes payable in connection with the Receivables and their creation and satisfaction. No Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability with respect to any Receivable, nor shall any of them be obligated to perform any of the obligations of the Borrower thereunder.

## Section Seven.18. <u>Custody of Receivable Files</u> 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) To assure uniform quality in servicing the Receivables and to reduce administrative costs, the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, hereby revocably appoints UACC as its agent, and UACC hereby accepts such appointment, to act as Custodian, on behalf of the Secured Parties, of the Receivables and the Receivable Files. The Custodian shall hold and maintain physical possession of all Tangible Contracts and other items of Receivable Files (other than Electronic Contracts) delivered to the Custodian and "control" (within the meaning of Section 9-105 of the UCC) of all Electronic Contracts relating to the Receivables included in the Collateral pursuant to this Agreement or the Basic Documents for the benefit of the Administrative Agent under the terms of this Agreement, as agent for the Secured Parties for purposes of perfecting and maintaining the priority of the Administrative Agent's security interest in the Receivables. Except for actions expressly authorized by this Agreement, the Custodian shall take no action which would or would be likely to impair the security interests of any Person created or existing in, to or under any Receivable or Financed Vehicle or to impair the value of any Receivable or Financed Vehicle. The Custodian hereby agrees not to assert (in its individual capacity or otherwise) any Liens or claims of any kind with respect to the Receivable Files held or controlled by it or the related Receivables or any other Collateral and hereby releases and waives any such Liens and claims.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) On the Closing Date, the Custodian shall deliver an Officer's Certificate to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, confirming that it has received, on behalf of the Secured Parties, all the documents and instruments necessary for it to act as the agent of the Secured Parties for the purposes set forth in this Section, including the documents referred to herein, and the Secured Parties are hereby authorized to rely on such Officer's Certificate.

## Section Seven.19. <u>Duties of Custodian</u> 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>Safekeeping</u>. The Custodian shall hold the Receivable Files for the exclusive use and benefit of the Secured Parties and shall act as agent and bailee (as used in Section 9-312 of the UCC) of the Secured Parties, make dispositions thereof only in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or with the written instructions furnished by the Administrative Agent and maintain such accurate and complete accounts, Records and computer systems pertaining to each Receivable File; *provided, however*, UACC may convert a Receivable that is "tangible chattel paper" to "electronic chattel paper." The Custodian shall maintain continuous custody of the Receivables Files and such other documents received by it in secure, fire resistant facilities. In performing its duties, the Custodian shall act with reasonable care, using that degree of skill and

------

attention that it exercises with respect to the files of comparable motor vehicle installment sale contracts and installment loans that it holds for itself or others. The Custodian shall conduct, or cause to be conducted, in accordance with its customary practices and procedures, periodic examinations of the files of all receivables owned or serviced by it which shall include the Receivable Files held by it under this Agreement, and of the related accounts, records and computer systems, in such a manner as shall enable the Administrative Agent or its representatives to verify the accuracy of the Custodian's custody of the Receivables Files. The Custodian shall promptly report to the Administrative Agent any failure on its part to hold the Receivable Files and to maintain its accounts, Records and computer systems as herein provided and promptly take appropriate action to remedy any such failure. Nothing herein shall be deemed to require an initial review or any periodic review of the Receivable Files by any Secured Party, and no Secured Party shall be liable or responsible for any action or failure to act by the Custodian hereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Maintenance of and Access to Records</u>. The Custodian shall maintain each Receivable File at one of the locations specified in Schedule D or at such other location as shall be specified to the Administrative Agent by 30 days' prior written notice. The Custodian may temporarily move individual Receivable Files or any portion thereof without notice as necessary to allow the Servicer to conduct collection and other servicing activities in accordance with its customary practices and procedures. The Custodian shall in accordance with Section 7.07 make available to the Secured Parties or their duly authorized representatives, attorneys or auditors a list of locations of the Receivable Files, the Receivable Files and the related accounts, Records and computer systems maintained by the Custodian at such times during normal business hours as any Secured Party shall reasonably request; provided, that if a Servicer Termination Event, Unmatured Servicer Termination Event, Termination Event or Unmatured Termination Event shall have occurred and is continuing, the Custodian shall make such information available at any time as requested by any Secured Party.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) <u>Maintenance of Electronic Contracts</u>. The parties agree that an Electronic Contract shall be "communicated" to the Custodian upon the transfer of the Authoritative Copy of such Electronic Contract from the Originator Vault Partition to the Warehouse Vault Partition, acceptance by the Custodian of such Authoritative Copy into the Warehouse Vault Partition and confirmation of such transfer by the Originator, and the Custodian shall thereafter maintain such Electronic Contract in the Warehouse Vault Partition on behalf of the Administrative Agent for the purpose of establishing control within the meaning of Section 9-105(3) of the UCC over the Contracts which are Electronic Contracts pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Pursuant to the Electronic Collateral Control Agreement, watermarks and legends shall be applied to the Electronic Contracts by the E-Vault Provider upon transfer to the Warehouse Vault Partition, such that (i) a watermark on any perceivable rendering of the Authoritative Copy thereof shall read "Copy of Original," (ii) a watermark on any copy of such Electronic Contract that is not a copy of the Authoritative Copy thereof shall read "Retention Copy", "Review Copy" or "Copy Retention of Copy Original," and (iii) the Required Legend is placed on each perceivable rendering thereof. The Custodian shall maintain each Electronic Contract constituting or evidencing a Receivable in the Warehouse Vault Partition to reflect the name of the Borrower. The Custodian shall not Transfer or Export any Electronic Contract that constitutes or evidences a Receivable except in accordance with the terms hereof and the Electronic Collateral Control Agreement and shall not destroy any Electronic Contract that constitutes or evidences a Receivable.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) <u>Maintenance of Possession and Control of Contracts</u>. The Custodian shall carry out such policies and procedures in accordance with its customary actions with respect to the handling, custody and "control" (within the meaning of Section 9-105 of the UCC) of the Contracts so that the integrity and, in the case of the Tangible Contracts, physical possession of such Tangible Contracts, will be maintained; *provided, however*, this shall not apply to a Receivable that has been converted from "tangible chattel paper" to "electronic chattel paper." The Custodian shall maintain the Tangible Contracts segregated on its inventory system and shall not commingle the Tangible Contracts with any other files of any other customer of the Custodian.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) <u>Standard of Care; Indemnification for Losses</u>. Each Receivable shall be identified on the books and records of the Custodian in a manner that (i) is consistent with the practices of a comparable custodian with respect to similar receivables, and (ii) indicates that the Receivables that are the subject of such records are owned by the Borrower and pledged to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties. The Custodian hereby waives any and all rights of offset with respect to any and all Contracts in the Custodian's possession or "control" (within the meaning of Section 9-105 of the UCC), whether such right of offset arises by contract, operation of law or otherwise. The Custodian shall hold the Receivable Files (other than Contracts which are Electronic Contracts) in its secure and fire resistant facilities under its exclusive custody and control in accordance with customary standards for such custody. If any of the Secured Parties suffers or incurs costs, expenses, losses or damages as a result of the destruction or loss of any of the Receivable Files while in the possession of the Custodian, the Custodian shall, (i) at the request of the Administrative Agent, make any appropriate claim under any bond or insurance, and (ii) to the extent of such Secured Party's costs, expenses, losses or damages, promptly pay the proceeds thereof to such Secured Party unless the Custodian has replaced the lost or destroyed items or has otherwise reimbursed such Secured Party for such losses or damages. The Custodian shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and its officers, directors, employees and agents from and against, any and all loss, liability or expense incurred (including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) as a result of the gross negligence, bad faith, or willful misconduct of the Custodian in the performance of its duties hereunder; provided, however, that the Custodian shall not be liable for any portion of any such loss, liability or expense due to the willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence of the Administrative Agent or its officers, directors, employees or agents.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) <u>Release of Documents</u>. As soon as practicable after receiving written instructions from the Administrative Agent, the Custodian shall release any document in the Receivable Files to the Administrative Agent or its agent or designee, as the case may be, at such place or places as the Administrative Agent may reasonably designate. The Custodian shall not be responsible for any loss occasioned by the failure of the Administrative Agent to return any document or any delay in so doing.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) <u>Title to Receivables</u>. The Custodian shall not at any time have, or in any way attempt to assert, any interest in any Receivable held by it as Custodian hereunder or in the related Receivable File, other than for collecting or enforcing such Receivable for the benefit of the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties. The entire equitable interest in each Receivable and the related Receivable File shall at all times be vested in the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties.

UACC's appointment as Custodian shall become effective as of the Closing Date and shall continue in full force and effect until the occurrence of a Custodian Termination Event. If a Custodian Termination Event occurs, the appointment of the Custodian hereunder may be terminated by the Administrative Agent. As soon as practicable after any such Custodian Termination Event, the Administrative Agent shall appoint an entity selected by the Administrative Agent as successor Custodian (which for such purpose will enter into the Custodial Agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) and the Custodian shall (i) at its sole cost and expense, deliver, or cause to be delivered, possession and/or "control" (within the meaning of Section 9-105 of the UCC) of the Receivable Files and the related accounts and Records maintained by the Custodian to the successor Custodian, or its agent or designee, as the case may be, at such place as the successor Custodian may reasonably designate and (ii) otherwise cooperate with the successor Custodian in effecting the termination of the rights and responsibilities of the predecessor Custodian under this Agreement.

## Section Seven.20. <u>Certain Duties for Electronic Contracts</u> 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Custodian shall notify the Secured Parties and the Borrower in writing as soon as reasonably practicable and in any event within two (2) Business Days after any Responsible Officer of the Custodian receives notice or obtains actual knowledge of: (i) the intent or threat (expressed in writing) of the E-Vault Provider to terminate, or the termination of, an E-Vault Access Agreement, (ii) receipt of written notice from the E-Vault Provider of any actual or suspected theft of, accidental disclosure of, loss of, or inability to account for, any nonpublic or confidential information (including, but not limited to, the access codes of the Custodian) of the Custodian which is maintained in the Warehouse Vault Partition or the Originator Vault Partition and/or any unauthorized intrusions into the E-Vault Provider's or any of its subcontractor's facilities or secure systems on or in which any nonpublic or confidential information of the Custodian is maintained, (iii) receipt of written notification from the E-Vault Provider of any changes to the System Description, (iv) any Integrity Check failure with respect to or any other

Except as contemplated in an Electronic Collateral Control Agreement or herein, the Custodian shall not provide any other Person (including any Lender having an interest in Electronic Contracts maintained by it as custodian) any right to control the actions of the Custodian with respect to the Electronic Contracts maintained in the Warehouse Vault Partition or permit any Person to direct the Custodian (in any capacity) to take or refrain from taking any action in respect to the Electronic Contracts which constitute or evidence any Receivables. The parties hereto acknowledge that the Custodian has no liability under an E-Vault Access Agreement and has only the duties and obligations of the Custodian specified hereunder or expressly set forth in the Electronic Collateral Control Agreement.

## Section Nine.01. <u>Termination Events</u> 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Each of the following events shall constitute a "Termination Event":

[\*\*\*]

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Without demand, protest or any notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower, (i) in the event that a Termination Event described in <u>Section 9.01(a)(vi), or (xvii)</u> has occurred, the Termination Date shall automatically occur and (ii) upon

------

the occurrence of any other Termination Event, the Administrative Agent shall, at the written request, or may with the written consent, of the Required Lenders, by notice to the Borrower, declare the Termination Date to have occurred and all Loans Outstanding and all other amounts owing by the Borrower under this Agreement shall be accelerated and become immediately due and payable.

## Section Nine.02. <u>Actions Upon Occurrence of the Termination Date</u> 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Upon the automatic occurrence, or the declaration of the occurrence, of the Termination Date in accordance with <u>Section 9.01(b)</u>, the following shall immediately occur without further action: (i) the Revolving Period shall terminate and no further Loans will be made and (ii) all Available Funds after <u>item (iv)</u> of <u>Section 2.08(a)</u> will be used to reduce the Loans Outstanding and (iii) Interest on all Loans Outstanding shall increase to the Default Rate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Upon the automatic occurrence of, or the declaration of the occurrence of, the Termination Date arising from a Termination Event, the Administrative Agent may, or at the direction of the Required Lenders, shall, exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies otherwise available to it, including rights available hereunder and all of the rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under the UCC (such rights and remedies to be cumulative and nonexclusive), the following remedial actions:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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 Administrative Agent may, without notice to the Borrower except as required by Applicable Law and at any time or from time to time, charge, set-off and otherwise apply all or any part of the Loans Outstanding, any Interest accrued thereon and or any other amount due and owing to any Secured Party against amounts payable to the Borrower from the Collection Account or any part of such accounts in accordance with the priorities required by <u>Section 2.08</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;(ii) The Administrative Agent may take any action permitted under the Basic Documents, including exercising any rights available to it under the Intercreditor Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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 Administrative Agent may (x) direct the Custodian in writing to exercise any rights and remedies available to it under the E-Vault Access Agreement in respect of the Warehouse Vault Partition and the Electronic Contracts therein which constitute or evidence the Receivables, including directing the transfer of such Electronic Contracts to another provider of e-vaulting services or causing such Electronic Contracts to be Exported, and (y) exercise any rights or remedies of the Administrative Agent under the Electronic Collateral Control Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) Consistent with the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC (and except as otherwise required by the UCC), the Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Secured Parties and without notice except as specified below, solicit and accept bids for and sell the Collateral or any part of the Collateral in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any exchange, broker's board or at the Administrative Agent's offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as the Administrative Agent may deem commercially reasonable. The Borrower agrees that, to

------

the extent notice of sale shall be required by Applicable Law, at least ten Business Days' notice to the Borrower (with a copy to each Secured Party) of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Administrative Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for such sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. Every such sale shall operate to divest all right, title, interest, claim and demand whatsoever of the Borrower in and to the Collateral so sold, and shall be a perpetual bar, both at law and in equity, against the Borrower or any Person claiming the Collateral sold through the Borrower and its successors or assigns.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) Upon the completion of any sale under Section 9.02(b)(iv), the Borrower will deliver or cause to be delivered all of the Collateral sold to the purchaser or purchasers at such sale on the date of sale, or within a reasonable time thereafter if it shall be impractical to make immediate delivery, but in any event full title and right of possession to such property shall pass to such purchaser or purchasers forthwith upon the completion of such sale. Nevertheless, if so requested by the Administrative Agent or by any purchaser, the Borrower shall confirm any such sale or transfer by executing and delivering to such purchaser all proper instruments of conveyance and transfer and release as may be designated in any such request.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) At any sale under Section 9.02(b)(iv), UACC or any Secured Party may bid for and purchase the property offered for sale and, upon compliance with the terms of sale, may hold, retain and dispose of such property without further accountability therefor. Any Secured Party purchasing property at a sale under Section 9.02(b)(iv) may set off the purchase price of such property against amounts owing to such Secured Party in full payment of such purchase price.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vii) The Administrative Agent may exercise at the Borrower's sole expense any and all rights and remedies of the Borrower under or in connection with the Collateral, including directing that Collections be deposited into an account specified by the Administrative Agent.

## Section Nine.03. <u>Exercise of Remedies</u> 
No failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent to exercise any right, power or privilege under this Agreement and no course of dealing between the Borrower or the Secured Parties, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, on the other hand, shall operate as a waiver of such right, power or privilege, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege under this Agreement preclude any other or further exercise of such right, power or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies expressly provided in this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which the Secured Parties would otherwise have pursuant to Applicable Law or equity. No notice to or demand on any party in any case shall entitle such party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances, or constitute a waiver of the right of the other party to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.

------

## Section Nine.04. <u>Waiver of Certain Laws</u> 
The Borrower agrees, to the full extent that it may lawfully so agree, that neither it nor anyone claiming through or under it will set up, claim or seek to take advantage of any appraisal, valuation, stay, extension or redemption law now or hereafter in force in any locality where any Collateral may be situated in order to prevent, hinder or delay the enforcement or foreclosure of this Agreement, or the absolute sale of any of the Collateral or any part thereof, or the final and absolute putting into possession thereof, immediately after such sale, of the purchasers thereof, and the Borrower, for itself and all who may at any time claim through or under it, hereby waives, to the full extent that it may be lawful so to do, the benefit of all such Applicable Laws, and any and all right to have any of the properties or assets constituting the Collateral marshaled upon any such sale, and agrees that the Administrative Agent or any court having jurisdiction to foreclose the security interests granted in this Agreement may sell the Collateral as an entirety or such parcels as the Administrative Agent or such court may determine.

## Section Nine.05. <u>Power of Attorney</u> 
The Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent its true and lawful attorney (with full power of substitution) in its name, place and stead and at its expense, in connection with the enforcement of the rights and remedies provided for in this Article, including: (i) exercise all rights and privileges of the Borrower under the Purchase Agreement (including each Transfer Agreement); (ii) pay or discharge any Taxes, Liens or other encumbrances levied or placed on or threatened against the Borrower or the Borrower's property; (iii) defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against the Borrower if the Borrower does not defend such suit, action or proceeding or if the Administrative Agent believes that it is not pursuing such defense in a manner that will maximize the recovery to the Administrative Agent, and settle, compromise or adjust any suit, action or proceeding described above and, in connection therewith, give such discharges or releases as the Administrative Agent may deem appropriate; (iv) file or prosecute any claim, litigation, suit or proceeding in any court of competent jurisdiction or before any arbitrator, or take any other action otherwise deemed appropriate by the Administrative Agent for the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys due to the Borrower whenever payable and to enforce any other right in respect of the Borrower's property; (v) sell, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with, any of the Borrower's property, and execute, in connection with such sale or action, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer in connection therewith; and (vi) cause the certified public accountants then engaged by the Borrower to prepare and deliver to the Administrative Agent at any time and from time to time, promptly upon the Administrative Agent's request, any reports required to be prepared by or on behalf of the Borrower under this Agreement or any other Basic Document, all as though the Administrative Agent were the absolute owner of its property for all purposes, and to do, at the Administrative Agent's option and the Borrower's expense, at any time or from time to time, all acts and other things that the Administrative Agent reasonably deems necessary to perfect, preserve, or realize upon its property or assets and the Liens of the Administrative Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties thereon, all as fully and effectively as it might do.

In performing its functions and duties hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall act solely as agent for the Secured Parties and does not assume nor shall be deemed to have assumed any obligation or relationship of trust or agency with or for the Borrower or any of its successors or assigns. The Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action which exposes it to personal liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or Applicable Law. The appointment and authority of the Administrative Agent hereunder shall terminate at the Facility Termination Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any other Secured Party, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent.

## Section Eleven.03. <u>Exculpatory Provisions</u>

The Administrative Agent shall not be under any obligation to any other Secured Party to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements or covenants contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement, or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Borrower.

## Section Eleven.04. <u>Reliance</u> 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, cablegram, telegram, telecopy, telex or teletype message, written statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the Administrative Agent), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent.

## Section Eleven.05. <u>Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders</u> 
Each other Secured Party expressly acknowledges that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Borrower, the Performance Guarantor, the Seller, the Servicer, the Paying Agent and the Custodian shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent to any other Secured Party. Each other Secured Party represents to the Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower, the Performance Guarantor, the Servicer, the Seller, the Paying Agent or the Custodian and the Receivables and made its own decision to purchase its interest in the Notes hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each other Secured Party also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under any of the Basic Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower, the Performance Guarantor, the Servicer, the Seller, the Paying Agent or the Custodian and the Receivables. The Administrative Agent shall have no duty or responsibility to provide any other Secured Party with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of the Borrower, the Performance Guarantor, the Servicer, the Seller, the Paying Agent or the Custodian or the Receivables which may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.

## Section Eleven.06. <u>Indemnification</u> 
The Lenders agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such (without limiting the obligation (if any) of the Borrower or the Servicer to reimburse the Administrative Agent for any such amounts), ratably according to their Lenders' Percentages from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever which may at any time (including at any time following the Facility Termination Date) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or the transactions contemplated hereby or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing. The provisions of this Section shall survive the payment of the Obligations under this Agreement, including the Loans Outstanding, the termination of this Agreement, and any resignation or removal of the Administrative Agent.

------

## Section Eleven.07. <u>Administrative Agent in its Individual Capacity</u> 
The Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may offer Bank Products and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower and any other party to a Basic Document as though it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder. Any such Person shall not, by virtue of its acting in any such other capacities, be deemed to have duties or responsibilities hereunder or be held to a standard of care in connection with the performance of its duties as Administrative Agent other than as expressly provided in this Agreement. None of the provisions to this Agreement shall require the Administrative Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise to incur any liability, financial or otherwise, in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or indemnity satisfactory to it against such risk or liability is not assured to it.

## Section Eleven.08. <u>Successor Agents</u> 
The Administrative Agent may freely assign its rights and obligations hereunder upon ten days' notice to the other Secured Parties and the Borrower. The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon ten days' notice to the other Secured Parties and the Borrower with such resignation becoming effective upon a successor agent succeeding to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section. If the Administrative Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent under this Agreement, then the Required Lenders shall appoint a successor administrative agent. Any successor administrative agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of resigning Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the Basic Documents, and the term "Administrative Agent" shall mean such successor administrative agent effective upon its appointment, and the former Administrative Agent's rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement. After the retiring Administrative Agent's resignation as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement.

## Section Eleven.09. <u>Acknowledgments Regarding Erroneous Payments</u> 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Each Lender hereby agrees that (x) if Administrative Agent notifies such Lender that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Lender from Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates (whether as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees or otherwise; individually and collectively, a "Payment") were erroneously transmitted to such Lender (whether or not known to such Lender), and demands the return of such Payment (or a portion thereof), such Lender shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter, return to Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to Administrative Agent at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect, and (y) to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, such Lender shall not assert, and hereby waives, as to Administrative Agent, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right

------

of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by Administrative Agent for the return of any Payments received, including without limitation any defense based on "discharge for value" or any similar doctrine. A notice of Administrative Agent to any Lender under this <u>Section 11.09</u> shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Each Lender hereby further agrees that if it receives a Payment from Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment sent by Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such Payment (a "Payment Notice") or (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a Payment Notice, it shall be on notice, in each such case, that an error has been made with respect to such Payment. Each Lender agrees that, in each such case, or if it otherwise becomes aware a Payment (or portion thereof) may have been sent in error, such Lender shall promptly notify Administrative Agent of such occurrence and, upon demand from Administrative Agent, it shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter, return to Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to Administrative Agent at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Borrower hereby agrees that (x) in the event an erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Lender that has received such Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Lender with respect to such amount and (y) an erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrower. For the avoidance of doubt, any such payment made by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this <u>Section 11.09(c)</u> shall not constitute an Unmatured Termination Event or Termination Event.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Each party's obligations under this <u>Section 11.09</u> shall survive the resignation or replacement of Administrative Agent or any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations under any Basic Document.

Each Lender hereby confirms and agrees that, in connection with any syndication, offering, transfer or sale by it of any interest in the Loans (and the related Notes), such Lender has not engaged and will not engage in a general solicitation or general advertising.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Each Lender may upon at least 30 days' notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, assign to one or more banks or other entities all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement; *provided, however*, that (i) each such assignment shall be of a constant, and not a varying percentage of all of the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, (ii) the amount of the Commitment of the assigning Lender being assigned pursuant to each such assignment (determined as of the date of the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment) shall in no event be less than the lesser of (A) $[\*\*\*] or an integral multiple of $[\*\*\*] in excess of that amount and (B) the full amount of the assigning Lender's Commitment, (iii) each such assignment shall be to an Eligible Assignee, (iv) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Borrower), for its acceptance and recording in the Lender Register, an Assignment and Acceptance, together with a processing and recordation fee of $[\*\*\*] or such lesser amount as shall be approved by the Administrative Agent, (v) the parties to each such assignment shall have agreed to reimburse the Administrative Agent for all reasonable fees, costs and expenses (including the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of counsel for the Administrative Agent) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with such assignment, (vi) each Person that becomes a Lender under an Assignment and Acceptance shall agree to be bound by the confidentiality provisions of Article Thirteen and (vii) there shall be no increased costs, expenses or Taxes incurred by the Administrative Agent upon assignment or participation. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording by the Administrative Agent, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, which effective date shall be the date of acceptance thereof by the Administrative Agent, unless a later date is specified therein, (x) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and (y) the Lender assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the Lender assignor thereunder and the assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (ii) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of such financial statements and other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iii) such assignee will, independently and without reliance upon such assigning Lender or any other Secured Party and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (iv) such assigning Lender and such assignee confirm that such assignee is an Eligible Assignee; (v) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to such agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vi) such assignee agrees that it will perform

------

in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at its address referred to herein a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names, addresses and Commitment of each Lender and the Principal Amount and stated interest of each Loan made by each Lender from time to time (the "Lender Register"). The entries in the Lender Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrower and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Lender Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Lender Register shall be available for inspection by the Administrative Agent and any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) Subject to the provisions of <u>Sections 12.01(a)</u> and <u>12.01(b)</u>, upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the Administrative Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has been completed, accept such Assignment and Acceptance, and the Administrative Agent shall then record the information contained therein in the Lender Register.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) Each Lender may sell participations to one or more banks or other entities in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and each Loan owned by it); *provided, however*, that (i) such Lender's obligations under this Agreement (including its Commitment hereunder) shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the other Secured Parties shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each participant shall have the rights of a Lender (including any right to receive payment) under <u>Sections 2.13</u> and <u>2.14</u>; provided, however, that no participant shall be entitled to receive payment under either such Section in excess of the amount that would have been payable under such Section by the Borrower to the Lender granting its participation had such participation not been granted, and no Lender granting a participation shall be entitled to receive payment under either such Section in an amount which exceeds the sum of (i) the amount to which such Lender is entitled under such Section with respect to any portion of any Loan owned by such Lender which is not subject to any participation plus (ii) the aggregate amount to which its participants are entitled under such Sections with respect to the amounts of their respective participations. With respect to any participation described in this Section, the participant's rights as set forth in the agreement between such participant and the applicable Lender to agree to or to restrict such Lender's ability to agree to any modification, waiver or release of any of the terms of this Agreement or to exercise or refrain from exercising any powers or rights which such Lender may have under or in respect of this Agreement shall be limited to the right to consent to any of the matters set forth in <u>Section 12.01</u>. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant's interest in the Loan or other obligations under the Basic Documents (the "Participant Register"); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information

------

relating to a participant's interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Basic Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as the Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) Each Lender may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant any information, including Confidential Information, relating to the Borrower furnished to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) Nothing herein shall prohibit any Lender from at any time pledging or assigning as collateral any of its rights under this Agreement to (A) any Federal Reserve Bank or any other Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law or (B) other Secured Party or any of their respective Affiliates, or any other bank or other entity in connection with any financing or repurchase agreement entered into by such Lender. Each such pledge or collateral assignment may be made without compliance with <u>Section 12.01(a)</u> or <u>12.01(b)</u>, other than <u>clause (vii)</u> of <u>Section 12.01(b)</u>, and without notice to or consent of the Borrower, Servicer or any other Lender; provided, that no such pledge or collateral assignment shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder, or substitute any such pledgee or grantee for such Lender as a party hereto.

# ARTICLE Thirteen **<br>** <br> MUTUAL COVENANTS REGARDING CONFIDENTIALITY

## Section Thirteen.01. <u>Covenants of the Borrower, the Servicer, the Paying Agent and the Custodian</u> 
Each of the Borrower, the Servicer, the Paying Agent and the Custodian severally and with respect to itself only, covenants and agrees to hold in confidence, and not disclose to any Person, the terms of this Agreement (including any fees payable in connection with this Agreement or the identity of any Secured Party under this Agreement), except as any Secured Party may have consented to in writing prior to any proposed disclosure and except it may disclose such information (i) to its Advisors, officers, directors, employees, agents, counsel, accountants, subservicers, auditors, advisors or representatives, (ii) to the extent such information has become available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by or through the Borrower, the Servicer, the Paying Agent or the Custodian, (iii) to any Secured Party or their respective Affiliates or (iv) to the extent it is (a) required by Applicable Law (including filing a copy of this Agreement and the other Basic Documents (other than the Fee Letter and excluding from any such copy the identity of each Lender)) as exhibits to filings required to be made with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or in connection with any legal or regulatory proceeding, (b) requested by any Governmental Authority to disclose such information or (c) requested by any Rating Agency; provided, that, in the case of clause (iv)(a), the Borrower, the Servicer, the Paying Agent and the

------

Custodian, as applicable, will use all reasonable efforts to maintain confidentiality and will (unless otherwise prohibited by Applicable Law) notify the Lender of its intention to make any such disclosure prior to making such disclosure.

## Section Thirteen.02. <u>Covenants of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders</u> 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Each Secured Party covenants and agrees that it will not disclose any of the Confidential Information now or hereafter received or obtained by it without the Borrower's prior written consent; provided, however, that it may disclose any such Confidential Information (i) in connection with participations and assignments pursuant to Section 12.01(b) (upon the prior written consent of the Borrower), (ii) to those of its employees or Affiliates directly involved in the transactions contemplated by the Basic Documents, (iii) to the Rating Agencies pursuant to Section 2.13(g), and (iv) to its Advisors who need to know such information for the purpose of assisting it in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Basic Documents. Each Secured Party agrees to be responsible for any breach of this Agreement by its Affiliates and Advisors, and it agrees that its Affiliates and Advisors will be advised by it of the confidential nature of such information and that it shall cause its Affiliates and Advisors to be bound by this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) None of the Secured Parties nor any of their respective Affiliates, employees, agents or Advisors, without the prior written consent of the Borrower, will disclose to any person the fact that Confidential Information has been provided to it or them, that discussions or negotiations have taken place with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Basic Documents, or the existence, terms, conditions or other facts of the transactions contemplated by the Basic Documents, including the status thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Each Secured Party acknowledges and agrees that any Confidential Information provided to it, in whatever form, is the sole property of the Borrower or the Servicer. Neither such Person nor its Affiliates or Advisors shall use any of the Confidential Information now or hereafter received or obtained from or through the Borrower, the Servicer or any of their respective Affiliates for any purpose other than for purposes of engaging in, or as otherwise contemplated by, the transactions contemplated by the Basic Documents. Each Secured Party agree that if the Borrower and/or UACC should request that it destroy or return the Confidential Information, it shall return or destroy such Confidential Information as so directed; provided that it shall be permitted to retain only that portion of the Confidential Information, in accordance with the confidentiality obligations specified in this Agreement, that is necessary for purposes of documenting any due diligence review performed by it in connection with the Transaction.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Each of the Secured Parties acknowledges that all Confidential Information is considered to be proprietary and of competitive value, and in many instances trade secrets. Each of the Secured Parties agrees that because of the unique nature of the Confidential Information any breach of this Agreement would cause the Borrower, UACC and their respective Affiliates irreparable harm and money damages and other remedies available at law in the event of a breach would not be adequate to compensate the Borrower, UACC and their Affiliates for any such breach. Accordingly, each of the Secured Parties acknowledges and agrees that the Borrower, UACC and their respective Affiliates shall be entitled, without the requirement of posting a bond or other security, to equitable relief, including injunctive relief and specific performance, as a

------

remedy for any such breach. Such relief shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, all other remedies available to the Borrower, UACC and their respective Affiliates whether at law or in equity.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) If any Secured Party or any of their respective Affiliates or Advisors are legally compelled (whether by deposition, interrogatory, request for documents, subpoena, civil investigation, demand or similar process) to disclose any of the Confidential Information (including the fact that discussions or negotiations took place with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Basic Documents), the related entity shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Servicer in writing (unless it has been advised by an Opinion of Counsel that such notification is prohibited by Applicable Law or regulation) of such requirement so that the Borrower and/or the Servicer, at their sole cost and expense, may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with the provisions hereof. Each Secured Party agrees to use its reasonable efforts, upon the written request of the Borrower or the Servicer, to obtain or assist the Borrower or the Servicer in obtaining any such protective order. Failing the reasonably timely entry of a protective order or the reasonably timely receipt of a waiver hereunder, it may disclose, without liability hereunder, that portion (and only that portion) of the Confidential Information that it has been advised by an Opinion of Counsel that it is legally compelled to disclose; provided that it agrees to use reasonable efforts to obtain assurance that confidential treatment will be afforded such Confidential Information by the person or persons to whom it was disclosed.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood that any Secured Party or its Affiliates may be required to disclose (and may so disclose, without liability hereunder, provided that it complies with the following sentence) the Confidential Information or portions thereof at the request of a bank examiner or other regulatory authority or in connection with an examination of it or its Affiliates by a bank examiner or other regulatory authority, including in connection with the regulator compliance policy of any Secured Party. Under such circumstances, the related entity agrees to provide notice to the Borrower and the Servicer, to the extent that it is not otherwise prohibited from doing so, as soon as practicable in connection with (and, if possible, before) releasing the Confidential Information to the bank examiner or other regulatory authority pursuant to such request or examination.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) It is understood and agreed that no failure or delay by the Borrower, the Servicer, the Paying Agent, the Custodian, or any Secured Party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder.

## Section Thirteen.03. <u>Non-Confidentiality of Tax Treatment and Tax Structure</u> 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any document related to the transactions contemplated hereby, in connection with Treasury Regulations Section 1.6011-4T, Section 301.6111-1T and Section 301.6112-1T of the Code, the parties hereby agree that, from the commencement of discussions with respect to the transactions described herein, each party hereto (and each of its employees, representatives, Advisors, Affiliates or agents) is permitted to disclose to any and all persons of any kind, the Tax structure and Tax treatment of the transactions, and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other Tax analyses) that are provided to each such party related to such Tax structure and Tax treatment. In this regard, each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that this disclosure of the Tax structure or Tax treatment of the

------

transactions is not limited in any way by an express or implied understanding or agreement, oral or written (whether or not such understanding or agreement is legally binding).

The rights and remedies of any Secured Party hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by Section 14.01(c), and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Prior to the execution of any amendment, modification or waiver to this Agreement or any other Basic Document, the Borrower shall deliver an Opinion of Counsel or an Officer's Certificate to the Administrative Agent stating that such amendment, modification or waiver without the prior written consent of the Servicer, the Custodian or the Paying Agent will not affect the rights, protections or duties of each such party.

No failure on the part of any Secured Party or any assignee of any Secured Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)<u>Due Qualification</u>. The Seller is duly qualified to do business as a foreign company, is in good standing, and has obtained all necessary licenses and approvals in all jurisdictions in which the ownership or lease of its property, the conduct of its business or the entering into, or the performance of its obligations under the Basic Documents to which it is a party requires such qualification.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)<u>Power and Authority</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;22. <u>No Impairment</u>. The Seller has not done anything to convey any right to any Person that would result in such Person having a right to payments due under the Receivables or otherwise to impair the rights of the Purchaser, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders in any Receivable or the proceeds thereof.

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

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

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

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

SECTION II.6 <u>Persons Deemed Owner</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) Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of any Note, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee may treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered (as of the Record Date) as the owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payments of principal of and interest, if any on such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note be overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee nor any agent of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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, under the terms of this Indenture, it is necessary to determine whether any Person is a Note Owner, the Indenture Trustee will be required to make such determination based on a certificate of such Person which will specify, in reasonable detail satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee, the Class and Outstanding Amount of the Book-Entry Note beneficially owned,

------

the value of such Person's interest in such Book-Entry Note and any intermediaries through which such Person's interest in such Book-Entry Note is held; *provided, however*, that the Indenture Trustee is not to knowingly recognize such Person as a Note Owner if such Person, to the knowledge of a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee, acquired its interest in a Book-Entry Note in violation of the transfer requirements set forth in Section 2.4(d), or if such Person's certification that it is a Note Owner is in direct conflict with information obtained by the Indenture Trustee from the Clearing Agency and/or the Clearing Agency Participants with respect to the identity of such Note Owner.

SECTION II.7 <u>Payment of Principal and Interest; Defaulted Interest</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 Notes shall accrue interest as provided in the form of Note set forth in Exhibit A, and such interest shall be due and payable on each Distribution Date, as specified therein. Any installment of interest or principal, if any, payable on any Note which is punctually paid or duly provided for by the Issuer on the applicable Distribution Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) is registered on the Record Date, by check mailed first-class, postage prepaid, to such Person's address as it appears on the Note Register on such Record Date, except that, unless Definitive Notes have been issued pursuant to Section 2.12, with respect to Notes registered on the Record Date in the name of the Clearing Agency or its nominee, payment will be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account designated by such Clearing Agency nominee and except for the final installment of principal payable with respect to such Note on a Distribution Date or on the Final Scheduled Distribution Date for such Class of Notes (and except for the Redemption Price for any Note called for redemption pursuant to Section 10.1(a)) which shall be payable as provided herein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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 principal of each Note shall be payable in installments on each Distribution Date as provided in the form of Note, set forth in Exhibit A. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire unpaid Note Balance of the Notes shall be due and payable, if not previously paid, on the date on which an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, if the Indenture Trustee, if so directed in writing by the Majority Noteholders, shall declare the Notes to be immediately due and payable in the manner provided in Section 5.2. All principal payments on each Class of Notes shall be made pro rata to the Noteholders of such Class entitled thereto. Upon written notice from the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee shall notify the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on the Record Date preceding the Distribution Date on which the Issuer expects that the final installment of principal of and interest on such Note will be paid. Such notice shall be mailed or transmitted by facsimile prior to such final Distribution Date and shall specify that such final installment will be payable only upon presentation and surrender of such Note and shall specify the place where such Note may be presented and surrendered for payment of such installment. Notices in connection with redemptions of Notes shall be mailed to Noteholders as provided in Section 10.2.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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 the Issuer defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, the Issuer shall pay defaulted interest (plus interest on such defaulted interest to the extent lawful) at the applicable Interest Rate in any lawful manner. The Issuer may pay such defaulted interest to the Persons who are Noteholders on the immediately following Distribution Date.

------

SECTION II.8 <u>Cancellation</u>. All Notes surrendered for payment, registration of transfer, exchange or redemption shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Indenture Trustee, be delivered to the Indenture Trustee and shall be promptly canceled by the Indenture Trustee. The Issuer may at any time deliver to the Indenture Trustee for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Issuer may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Notes so delivered shall be promptly canceled by the Indenture Trustee. No Notes shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Notes canceled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All canceled Notes may be held or disposed of by the Indenture Trustee in accordance with its standard retention or disposal policy as in effect at the time unless the Issuer shall timely direct by an Issuer Order that they be destroyed or returned to it; *provided*, that such Issuer Order is timely and the Notes have not been previously disposed of by the Indenture Trustee.

SECTION II.10 <u>Book-Entry Notes</u>. The Notes, upon original issuance, will be issued in the form of typewritten Notes representing the Book-Entry Notes, to be delivered to The Depository Trust Company, the initial Clearing Agency, by, or on behalf of, the Issuer. The Notes shall be represented by a global note for such Class, which shall be deposited with the Indenture Trustee as custodian for the initial Clearing Agency and registered in the name of Cede & Co. as nominee of the initial Clearing Agency.

No Note Owner will receive a Definitive Note representing such Note Owner's interest in such Note, except as provided in Section 2.12. With respect to the Book-Entry Notes, unless and until definitive, fully registered Notes (the "<u>Definitive Notes</u>") have been issued to Note Owners pursuant to Section 2.12:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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 provisions of this Section shall be in full force and effect;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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 Note Registrar and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to deal with the Clearing Agency for all purposes of this Indenture (including the payment of principal of and interest on the Book-Entry Notes and the giving of instructions or directions hereunder) as the sole Holder of the Book-Entry Notes, and shall have no obligation to the Note Owners;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) to the extent that the provisions of this Section conflict with any other provisions of this Indenture, the provisions of this Section shall control;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) the rights of Note Owners shall be exercised only through the Clearing Agency and shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such Note Owners and the Clearing Agency and/or the Clearing Agency Participants, unless and until Definitive Notes are issued pursuant to Section 2.12, the initial Clearing Agency will make book-entry transfers among the Clearing Agency Participants and receive and transmit payments of principal of and interest on the Notes to such Clearing Agency Participants;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) whenever this Indenture requires or permits actions to be taken based upon instructions or directions of Book-Entry Noteholders evidencing a specified percentage of the Outstanding Amount of the Book-Entry Notes, the Clearing Agency shall be deemed to represent such percentage only to the extent that it has received instructions to such effect from Note Owners and/or Clearing Agency Participants owning or representing, respectively, such required percentage of the beneficial interest in the Book-Entry Notes and has delivered such instructions to the Indenture Trustee; 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;(vi) Note Owners may receive copies of any reports sent to Noteholders pursuant to this Indenture, upon written request, together with a certification that they are Note Owners and payment of reproduction and postage expenses associated with the distribution of such reports, from the Indenture Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office.

SECTION II.11 <u>Notices to Clearing Agency</u>. Whenever a notice or other communication to the Noteholders is required under this Indenture, unless and until Definitive Notes shall have been issued to Note Owners pursuant to Section 2.12, the Indenture Trustee shall give all such notices and communications specified herein to be given to the Noteholders to the Clearing Agency, and shall have no obligation to the Note Owners.

SECTION II.12 <u>Definitive Notes</u>. With respect to any Class or Classes of Book-Entry Notes, if (i) the Servicer advises the Indenture Trustee in writing that the Clearing Agency is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities with respect to such Book-Entry Notes, and the Servicer is unable to locate a qualified successor or (ii) after the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, owners of Book-Entry Notes representing not less than 51% of the Outstanding Amount of a Class of Notes advise the Indenture Trustee and the Clearing Agency Participant through the Clearing Agency in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system through the Clearing Agency is no longer in the best interests of such Note Owners, then the Indenture Trustee shall notify, in accordance with the Clearing Agency's procedures, all Clearing Agency Participants (as identified in a listing of Clearing Agency Participant accounts to which such Class of Book-Entry Notes is credited) and the Note Owners of such Class through the Clearing Agency of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of Definitive Notes to Note Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Indenture Trustee of the typewritten Note or Notes representing the Book-Entry Notes by the Clearing Agency, accompanied by registration instructions, the Issuer shall execute and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate the Definitive Notes in accordance with the instructions of the Clearing Agency. None of the Issuer, the Note Registrar or the Indenture Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be fully protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Notes, the Indenture Trustee shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Notes as Noteholders. The Issuer represents that its indebtedness issued hereunder is a debt instrument that is excluded from the definition of "covered security" under Treasury Regulation 1.6045-1(a)(15) because such indebtedness is subject to Code Section 1272(a)(6).

SECTION II.13 <u>Tax Documentation and Withholding</u>. All Noteholders shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer and any other applicable withholding agent, upon request and at any time or times required by applicable law, (a) a correct, complete and properly executed U.S. IRS Form W-9, W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W-8ECI, W-8IMY or W-8EXP (with appropriate

------

attachments to these forms), or any successor form, as applicable ("<u>Noteholder Tax Identification Information</u>"), and (b) any documentation that is required under FATCA or is otherwise necessary (in the reasonable determination of the recipient) to enable the recipient to comply with its obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Noteholder (or holder of any beneficial interest in a Note) has complied with its obligations under FATCA, or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from a payment under FATCA ("<u>Noteholder FATCA Information</u>").

Each Holder of a Note or an interest therein, by acceptance of such Note or such interest in such Note, will be deemed to have agreed to provide the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer and any other applicable withholding agent with the Noteholder Tax Identification Information and, to the extent applicable, the Noteholder FATCA Information. In addition, each Holder of a Note or an interest therein will be deemed to understand that an applicable withholding agent may withhold interest and principal payable with respect to a Note (without any corresponding gross-up or indemnification) on any Noteholder or beneficial owner of an interest in a Note that fails to comply with the foregoing requirements, fails to provide Noteholder Tax Identification Information and Noteholder FATCA Information to an applicable withholding agent, or otherwise is subject to withholding tax with respect to a Note.

The Issuer represents, warrants and covenants to the Indenture Trustee that, the Issuer will provide, upon request, (i) tax forms and/or copies thereof to the Indenture Trustee, and (ii) information necessary for the Indenture Trustee to determine the nature of the income contemplated hereunder. The Issuer shall determine whether any tax or withholding obligations apply. The Indenture Trustee shall withhold from any such payments as required by applicable law. The parties agree that the Indenture Trustee shall be released of any liability relating to its actions and compliance under this Section 2.13 and FATCA.

In accordance with the terms of this Indenture, the Issuer will duly and punctually (i) pay the principal of and interest on the Notes in accordance with the terms of the Notes and (ii) pay amounts due in respect of the Certificates in accordance with the terms of the Certificates (on a pro rata basis, based on the Percentage Interest of each Certificateholder).

The Issuer will cause each Note Paying Agent other than the Indenture Trustee to execute and deliver to the Indenture Trustee an instrument in which such Note Paying Agent shall agree with the Indenture Trustee (and if the Indenture Trustee acts as Note Paying Agent, it hereby so agrees), subject to the provisions of this Section, that such Note 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) hold all sums held by it for the payment of amounts due with respect to the Notes in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and pay such sums to such Persons as herein provided;

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) at any time during the continuance of any such default, upon the written request of the Indenture Trustee, forthwith pay to the Indenture Trustee all sums so held in trust by such Note 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) immediately resign as a Note Paying Agent and 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 required to be met by a Note Paying Agent at the time of its appointment; 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;(v) comply with all requirements of the Code with respect to the withholding from any payments made by it on any Notes of any applicable withholding taxes imposed thereon and with respect to any applicable reporting requirements in connection therewith.

The Issuer may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, by Issuer Order direct any Note Paying Agent to pay to the Indenture Trustee all sums held in trust by such Note Paying Agent, such sums to be

------

held by the Indenture Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which the sums were held by such Note Paying Agent; and upon such a payment by any Note Paying Agent to the Indenture Trustee, such Note Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money.

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

SECTION III.4 <u>Existence</u>. Except as otherwise permitted by the provisions of Section 3.10, the Issuer will keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a statutory trust under the laws of the State of Delaware (unless it becomes, or any successor Issuer hereunder is or becomes, organized under the laws of any other State or of the United States of America, in which case the Issuer will keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises under the laws of such other jurisdiction) and will obtain and preserve its qualification to do business in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes, the Collateral and each other instrument or agreement included in the Trust Estate.

The Issuer will from time to time prepare (or shall cause to be prepared), execute and deliver all such supplements and amendments hereto and all such financing statements, continuation statements, instruments of further assurance and other instruments, and will take such other action necessary or advisable to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) enforce any of 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;(f) pay all taxes or assessments levied or assessed upon the Trust Estate when due.

The Issuer hereby designates the Indenture Trustee its agent and attorney-in-fact to execute or authorize any financing statement, continuation statement or other instrument pursuant to this Section; *provided, however*, that the Indenture Trustee shall not be obligated to execute or authorize such instruments except upon the written direction of the Servicer or the Issuer. The Issuer authorizes such financing statements to describe the Collateral in such financing statements as "all assets of the Debtor, whether now owned and existing or hereafter arising or acquired and all proceeds thereof," or using words of similar effect.

If a Servicer Termination Event shall arise from the failure of the Servicer to perform any of its duties or obligations under the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Issuer shall take all reasonable steps available to it to remedy such failure.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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 Issuer agrees that it will not waive timely performance or observance by the Servicer, United Auto or the Depositor of their respective duties under the Basic Documents if the effect thereof would adversely affect any Holders of 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;(i) to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount of principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Notes and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Indenture Trustee (including any claim for reasonable compensation to the Indenture Trustee and each predecessor Indenture Trustee, and their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and for reimbursement of all expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Indenture Trustee and each predecessor Indenture Trustee, except as a result of negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct) and of the Noteholders allowed in such Proceedings;

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

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

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

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) exercise any remedies of a secured party under the UCC and take any other appropriate action to protect and enforce the rights and remedies of the Indenture Trustee and the Holders of the Notes; 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) sell the Trust Estate or any portion thereof or rights or interest therein, at one or more public or private sales called and conducted in any manner permitted by law; *provided, however,* that, the Indenture Trustee may not sell or otherwise liquidate the Trust Estate following an Event of Default 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) such Event of Default is of the type described in Section 5.1(i) or (ii), 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;(ii) any of:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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 Holders of 100% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes consent 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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 proceeds of such sale or liquidation distributable to the Noteholders are sufficient to discharge in full all amounts then due and unpaid upon such Notes for principal and interest, 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(III) the Indenture Trustee determines that the Trust Estate will 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 due and payable, and the Indenture Trustee provides prior written notice to the Issuer and obtains the consent of Holders of 66-2/3% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes.

In determining such sufficiency or insufficiency with respect to clauses (II) and (III), the Indenture Trustee may, but need not, obtain and conclusively rely upon an opinion of an Independent investment banking or accounting firm of national reputation as to the feasibility of such proposed action and as to the sufficiency of the Trust Estate for such purpose.

SECTION V.5 <u>Optional Preservation of the Receivables</u>. If the Notes have been declared to be due and payable under Section 5.2 following an Event of Default and such declaration and its consequences have not been rescinded and annulled, the Indenture Trustee may, but need not, elect to maintain possession of the Trust Estate. It is the desire of the parties hereto and the Noteholders that there be at all times sufficient funds for the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes, and the Indenture Trustee shall take such desire into account when determining whether or not to maintain possession of the Trust Estate. In determining whether to maintain possession of the Trust Estate, the Indenture Trustee may, but need not, obtain and

------

conclusively rely upon an opinion of an Independent investment banking or accounting firm of national reputation as to the feasibility of such proposed action and as to the sufficiency of the Trust Estate for such purpose.

The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

SECTION V.11 <u>Delay or Omission Not a Waiver</u>. No delay or omission of the Indenture Trustee or any Holder of any Note to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Default or Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Default or Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article V 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) the Indenture Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Indenture Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction;

*provided, however,* that, subject to Article VI, the Indenture Trustee need not take any action that it determines might involve it in liability, financial or otherwise, without receiving indemnity satisfactory to it, or might materially adversely affect the rights of any Noteholders not consenting to such action.

SECTION V.13 <u>Waiver of Past Defaults</u>. Prior to the declaration of the acceleration of the maturity of the Notes as provided in Section 5.2(a), the Majority Noteholders may waive any past Default or Event of Default and its consequences except a Default or Event of Default (a) in payment of principal of or interest on any of the Notes or (b) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Note. In the case of any such waiver, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Holders of the Notes shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist and be deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred, for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

SECTION V.14 <u>Undertaking for Costs</u>. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Note by such Holder's acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Indenture Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted

------

by it as Indenture Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs and expenses, including reasonable 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 Section shall not apply to (a) any suit instituted by the Indenture Trustee, (b) any suit instituted by any Noteholder, or group of Noteholders, in each case holding in the aggregate more than 10% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes or (c) any suit instituted by any Noteholder for the enforcement of the payment of principal of or interest on any Note on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Note and in this Indenture (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date).

SECTION V.15 <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, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture or any other Basic Document; and the Issuer (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Indenture Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

SECTION V.16 <u>Action on Notes</u>. The Indenture Trustee's right to seek and recover judgment on the Notes or under this Indenture shall not be affected by the seeking, obtaining or application of any other relief under or with respect to this Indenture. Neither the lien of this Indenture nor any rights or remedies of the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders shall be impaired by the recovery of any judgment by the Indenture Trustee against the Issuer or by the levy of any execution under such judgment upon any portion of the Trust Estate or upon any of the assets of the Issuer.

SECTION V.17 <u>Performance and Enforcement of Certain Obligations</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) Promptly following a request from the Indenture Trustee to do so and at the Servicer's expense, the Issuer agrees to take all such lawful action as the Indenture Trustee may request to compel or secure the performance and observance by the Depositor and the Servicer, as applicable, of each of their obligations to the Issuer under or in connection with the Sale and Servicing Agreement or by the Seller of its obligations under or in connection with the Purchase Agreement, each in accordance with the terms thereof, and to exercise any and all rights, remedies, powers and privileges lawfully available to the Issuer under or in connection with the Sale and Servicing Agreement to the extent and in the manner directed by the Indenture Trustee, including the transmission of notices of default on the part of the Depositor or the Servicer thereunder and the institution of legal or administrative actions or Proceedings to compel or secure performance by the Depositor or the Servicer of each of their obligations under the Sale and Servicing Agreement, or the Seller of its obligations under the Purchase Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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 has occurred and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee may, and, at the written direction of the Majority Noteholders shall, subject to Article VI, exercise all rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims of the Issuer against the Depositor or the Servicer under or in connection with the Sale and Servicing Agreement, including the right 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;(i) this paragraph does not limit the effect of paragraph (b) of this Section;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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 shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer unless it is proved that the Indenture Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts or acted with willful misconduct or bad faith; 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;(iii) the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it in accordance with the Basic 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;(d) The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the Indenture Trustee may agree in writing with 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;(e) Money held in trust by the Indenture Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law or the terms of this Indenture or the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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 provision of this Indenture shall require the Indenture Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds to believe that repayment of such funds or indemnity adequate against such risk or liability is not assured to it.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) Every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Indenture Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 6.1.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) The Indenture Trustee shall, and hereby agrees that it will, perform all of the obligations and duties required of it under the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) Without limiting the generality of this Section 6.1, the Indenture Trustee shall have no duty (i) to see to any recording, filing or depositing of this Indenture or any agreement referred to herein or any financing statement evidencing a security interest in the Financed Vehicles, or to see to the maintenance of any such recording or filing or depositing or to any recording, refiling or redepositing of any thereof, (ii) to see to any insurance of the Financed Vehicles or Obligors or to effect or maintain any such insurance, (iii) to see to the payment or discharge of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge or any Lien or encumbrance of any kind owing with respect to, assessed or levied against any part of the Trust, (iv) to confirm or verify the contents of any reports or certificates delivered to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Indenture or the Sale and Servicing Agreement believed by the Indenture Trustee to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties, (v) to monitor the status of any lien hereunder or the performance of the collateral or (vi) to inspect the Financed Vehicles at any time or ascertain or inquire as to the performance of observance of any of the Issuer's, the Depositor's or the Servicer's representations, warranties or covenants or the Servicer's duties and obligations as Servicer and as custodian of the Receivable Files under the Sale and Servicing Agreement. Neither the Indenture Trustee nor any of its officers, directors, employees, attorneys or agents will be responsible or liable for the existence, genuineness, value or protection of any collateral securing the Notes, for the legality, enforceability, effectiveness or sufficiency of the Basic Documents for the creation, perfection, continuation, priority or sufficiency of any of the liens, or for any defect or deficiency as to any such matters.

------

SECTION VI.2 <u>Rights of Indenture Trustee</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 Indenture Trustee may conclusively rely on any document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper Person. The Indenture Trustee is not responsible for any document provided to it, and it need not investigate or re-calculate, evaluate, verify or independently determine the accuracy of any report, certificate, information, statement, representation or warranty or any fact or matter stated in such document and may conclusively rely as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indenture Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the Indenture Trustee that shall be specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, shall examine them to determine whether they comply as to form to the requirements of this Indenture.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) Except as to actions expressly required to be taken by the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Indenture or any Basic Document to which it is a party, before the Indenture Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officer's Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel, the costs of which (including the Indenture Trustee's reasonable attorney's fees and expenses) shall be paid by the party requesting that the Indenture Trustee act or refrain from acting; absent such payment, the Indenture Trustee shall have no obligation to act. The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on the Officer's Certificate or Opinion of Counsel.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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 Indenture Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys or a custodian or nominee or affiliates, and the Indenture Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of, or for the supervision of, United Auto or any other party to the Basic Documents, or any other such agent, attorney, custodian or nominee appointed with due care by it 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;(d) The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith which it believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers; *provided, however,* that the Indenture Trustee's conduct does not constitute willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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 Indenture Trustee may consult with counsel of its choice, and the advice or opinion of counsel (written or oral) with respect to legal matters relating to this Indenture and

------

the Notes shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect to any action taken, omitted or suffered by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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 Indenture Trustee shall be under no obligation to institute, conduct or defend any litigation under this Indenture or in relation to this Indenture at the request, order or direction of any of the Noteholders pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, unless such Noteholders shall have offered to the Indenture Trustee security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities that may be incurred therein or thereby; *provided, however,* that the Indenture Trustee shall, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (that has not been cured), exercise the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture with reasonable care and skill.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) The Indenture Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any claims of breach of representations and warranties, resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or document and the Indenture Trustee shall be deemed not to have any actual or constructive knowledge of the facts or matters that such investigation could potentially reveal, unless requested in writing to do so by the Noteholders evidencing not less than 25% of the Outstanding Amount thereof; *provided, however,* that if the payment within a reasonable time to the Indenture Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the Indenture Trustee, not reasonably assured to the Indenture Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms of this Indenture or the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Indenture Trustee may require indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against such cost, expense or liability as a condition to so proceeding with such investigation. The reasonable expense of every such examination shall be paid by the Person making such request, or, if paid by the Indenture Trustee, shall be reimbursed by the Person making such request upon demand.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any losses on investments except for losses attributable to the failure of the Indenture Trustee to make an investment in accordance with instructions given in accordance with Section 5.1(b) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Indenture Trustee's negligence or bad faith or its failure to make payments on such investments issued by the Indenture Trustee, in its commercial capacity as principal obligor and not as trustee, in accordance with their terms. If the Indenture Trustee acts as the Note Paying Agent or Note Registrar, the rights and protections afforded to the Indenture Trustee shall be afforded to the Note Paying Agent and Note Registrar. The Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to the rights and protections afforded to it hereunder in any role under any Basic Document.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) Anything in this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the Indenture Trustee be liable for special, indirect, incidental, punitive or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including lost profits), whether or not any such damages were foreseeable or contemplated, even if the Indenture Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) The Indenture Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any event or information, including any Default or Event of Default, or be required to act upon any event or information, including any Default or Event of Default (including the sending of any notice), unless a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee actually knows of or receives written notice of such event or information. Absent a Responsible Officer actually knowing of or receiving written notice in accordance with this Section, the Indenture Trustee may conclusively assume that no such event, Default or Event of Default has occurred. The Indenture Trustee shall have no obligation to inquire into, or investigate as to, the occurrence of any such event (including any Event of Default). For purposes of determining the Indenture Trustee's responsibility and liability hereunder, whenever reference is made in this Indenture to any event (including an Event of Default), such reference shall be construed to refer only to such event of which the Indenture Trustee has received notice as described in this Section. The Indenture Trustee's receipt of delivery of any reports or other information publicly available does not constitute actual or constructive knowledge or notice to the Indenture Trustee unless the Indenture Trustee has an obligation under this Indenture or any of the other Basic Documents to review its content.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) A Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee shall not be imputed with any knowledge of, or information possessed or obtained by, another Responsible Officer of the Backup Servicer or any other Affiliate, other business line or division of Computershare and vice versa (other than in instances where such roles are performed by the same group or division within Computershare or otherwise include common Responsible Officers).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) To the extent the Indenture Trustee is requested to act upon a Noteholder's or other party's instruction under the Basic Documents, the Indenture Trustee may require indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it from the instructing Noteholder or other party against the costs, expenses, and liabilities that may be incurred relating to such request. The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any action or inaction taken at the direction of the Noteholders or the Issuer, in either case, given in accordance with the terms of the Basic 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;(m) The Indenture Trustee shall have no responsibility for the enforceability of the Note or the recitals contained in the Notes or 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) Except as otherwise expressly set forth in the Basic Documents, the Indenture Trustee shall not be held responsible for the acts or omissions of the Seller, the Servicer, the Issuer, the Backup Servicer, the Owner Trustee, or any other party to the Basic Documents, and may assume performance of such parties absent written notice or actual knowledge of a Responsible Officer to the contrary. The Indenture Trustee shall not be responsible or liable for any misconduct or negligence on the part of, or for the supervision of, United Auto or any of its Affiliates or any other party to the Basic Documents. Further, the Indenture Trustee shall not have any duty, responsibility or obligation to (or liability for failing to) monitor, supervise, confirm, verify, notify regarding or otherwise enforce the requirements or commitments applicable to any Person arising under, related to or otherwise in connection with any provision 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;(o) Any delays in or failure by the Indenture Trustee in the performance of any obligations hereunder shall be excused if and to the extent caused by any force majeure event.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(p) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture, the Indenture Trustee shall not be required to take any action that is not in accordance with applicable 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;(q) No discretionary, permissive right, nor privilege of the Indenture Trustee shall be deemed or construed as a duty or obligation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(r) For the avoidance of doubt, none of the Owner Trustee, Indenture Trustee nor the Backup Servicer shall be responsible for determining whether any breach of representations or warranty or document defect constitutes a breach or defect or the materiality thereof or any repurchase-related liabilities. The Issuer shall determine if any such breach materially and adversely affects the interests of the Noteholders therein or is deemed a material breach and shall enforce the repurchase obligations pursuant to the Basic Documents.

SECTION VI.3 <u>Individual Rights of Indenture Trustee</u>. The Indenture Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Indenture Trustee. Any Note Paying Agent, Note Registrar, co-registrar or co-Note Paying Agent may do the same with like rights. However, the Indenture Trustee must comply with Sections 6.11.

SECTION VI.4 <u>Indenture Trustee's Disclaimer</u>. The Indenture Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture, the Trust Estate or the Notes, it shall not be accountable for the Issuer's use of the proceeds from the Notes, and it shall not be responsible for any statement of the Issuer in this Indenture or in any document issued in connection with the sale of the Notes or in the Notes other than the Indenture Trustee's certificate of authentication.

SECTION VI.5 <u>Notice of Events of Default</u>. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if it is either known by, or written notice of the existence thereof has been delivered to, a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee shall mail to each Noteholder notice of the Event of Default within 90 days after such knowledge or notice occurs. Except in the case of an Event of Default in payment of principal of or interest on any Note (including payments pursuant to the mandatory redemption provisions of such Note), the Indenture Trustee may withhold the notice to the Noteholders if and so long as it in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of Noteholders.

SECTION VI.6 <u>Reports by Indenture Trustee to Holders</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) At the end of each calendar year, the Indenture Trustee shall deliver to each Person who at any time during the calendar year was a Noteholder a statement as to the aggregate amounts of interest and principal paid to the Noteholder to the extent required by the Code and any other information as may be reasonably required to enable such Holder to prepare its federal and State income tax returns.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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 shall provide to each Noteholder or Note Owner upon request, copies of the Basic Documents, the Servicer's compliance report and the accountants' attestation delivered pursuant to Sections 4.10 and 4.11 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, but only with the use of a password provided by the Indenture Trustee. The Indenture Trustee will make no representation or warranties as to the accuracy or completeness of such documents and will assume no responsibility therefor. In connection with providing access to the Indenture Trustee's website, the Indenture Trustee may require registration and the acceptance of a

------

disclaimer. The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for the dissemination of information in accordance with this Indenture.

SECTION VI.7 <u>Compensation and Indemnity</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) Pursuant to Section 5.7(b) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement and Section 5.6 of this Indenture, the Issuer shall, or shall cause the Servicer to, pay to the Indenture Trustee and the Backup Servicer (subject to any applicable caps) from time to time compensation for its services. The Indenture Trustee's compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Issuer shall, or shall cause the Servicer to, reimburse the Indenture Trustee and the Backup Servicer (subject to any applicable caps) for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it, including costs of collection, in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee's and the Backup Servicer's agents, counsel, accountants and experts. The Issuer shall, or shall cause the Servicer to, indemnify the Indenture Trustee and the Backup Servicer and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents against any and all losses, liabilities or expenses, (including attorneys' fees and expenses) incurred by each of them in connection with the acceptance or the administration of this Trust and the performance of its duties under the Basic Documents (including any attorney's fees, costs (including court costs), and expenses incurred in connection with (i) investigating, preparing for, defending itself or the Issuer in any dispute or legal proceeding that is related directly or indirectly in any way to the Issuer, the Basic Documents, the Owner Trust Estate or the Certificates, (ii) any enforcement (including any action, claim, or suit brought) by the Indenture Trustee or the Backup Servicer of any indemnification or other obligation of the Issuer or the Servicer, any other party to the Basic Documents or any other Persons and (iii) a successful defense, in whole or in part, of any claim that the Indenture Trustee or the Backup Servicer breached its standard of care). The Indenture Trustee or the Backup Servicer shall notify the Issuer and the Servicer promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Indenture Trustee or the Backup Servicer to so notify the Issuer and the Servicer shall not relieve the Issuer of its obligations hereunder or the Servicer of its obligations under Article XI of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. The Issuer's payment obligations to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section shall survive the discharge or termination of this Indenture and any assignment, resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee. The Issuer shall cause the Servicer to defend the claim, and the Indenture Trustee or the Backup Servicer may have separate counsel and the Issuer shall cause the Servicer to pay the fees and expenses of such counsel. Neither the Issuer nor the Servicer is required to reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Indenture Trustee or the Backup Servicer through the Indenture Trustee's or Back-up Servicer's own willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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 Issuer's and Servicer's payment obligations to the Indenture Trustee or the Backup Servicer pursuant to this Section shall survive the discharge or assignment of this Indenture or the earlier resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee or the Backup Servicer. When the Indenture Trustee or the Backup Servicer incurs expenses after the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in Section 5.1(iv) or (v) with respect to the Issuer, the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under Title 11 of the United States Code or any other applicable federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law. Notwithstanding anything else set forth in this Indenture or the other Basic Documents, the Indenture Trustee agrees that the

------

obligations of the Issuer (but not the Servicer) to the Indenture Trustee hereunder and under the other Basic Documents shall be recourse to the Trust Estate only and specifically shall not be recourse to the assets of any Certificateholder or any Noteholder. In addition, the Indenture Trustee agrees that its recourse (for its own account or the account of the Backup Servicer) to the Issuer, the Trust Estate and the Depositor shall be limited to the right to receive the distributions referred to in Section 5.7(b) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement or Section 5.6 of this Indenture, as applicable.

SECTION VI.8 <u>Replacement of Indenture Trustee</u>. The Indenture Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the Issuer. The Issuer shall remove the Indenture Trustee, if:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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 fails to comply with Section 6.11;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) a court having jurisdiction in the premises in respect of the Indenture Trustee in an involuntary case or proceeding under federal or State banking or bankruptcy laws, as now or hereafter constituted, or any other applicable federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, shall have entered a decree or order granting relief or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, conservator, sequestrator (or similar official) for the Indenture Trustee or for any substantial part of the Indenture Trustee's property, or ordering the winding-up or liquidation of the Indenture Trustee's affairs;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) an involuntary case under the federal bankruptcy laws, as now or hereafter in effect, or another present or future federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law is commenced with respect to the Indenture Trustee and such case is not dismissed within 60 days;

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

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

------

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

If a successor Indenture Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Indenture Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Indenture Trustee, the Issuer or the Majority Noteholders may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee; all fees, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) incurred by the Indenture Trustee in connection with such petition will be paid by the Issuer pursuant to Section 5.7(b) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement or Section 5.6 of this Indenture, and to the extent not paid thereby, by the initial Servicer.

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

Any resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee and appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall not become effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section 6.8 and payment of all fees and expenses owed to the outgoing Indenture Trustee.

Notwithstanding the replacement of the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section, the Issuer's and the Servicer's obligations under Section 6.7 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Indenture Trustee.

SECTION VI.10 <u>Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee</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) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, at any time, for the purpose of (i) meeting any legal requirement of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust Estate may at the time be located, (ii) engaging in enforcement actions or (iii) for potential conflict of interest matters on behalf of the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee shall have the power and may execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons to act as a co-trustee or co-trustees, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Trust Estate, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the Noteholders, such title to the Trust Estate, or any part hereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Indenture Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor indenture trustee under Section 6.11 and no notice to Noteholders of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required under Section 6.8.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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;(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 Trust Estate or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed singly by such separate trustee or co-trustee, but solely at the direction of the Indenture Trustee;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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, including acts or omissions of predecessor or successor trustees, and the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for the appointment of any other 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) the Indenture Trustee may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee; 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;(iv) no separate trustee or co-trustee shall be deemed to be an agent 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;(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 Article VI. 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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 constitute an attorney-in-fact of the Indenture Trustee 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, dissolve, become insolvent, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall invest in and be exercised by the Indenture Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor 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) Any and all amounts relating to the fees and expenses of the co-trustee or separate trustee will be borne by the Trust Estate and shall be payable as an expense of the Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 5.7(b) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement or Section 5.6 hereof.

SECTION VI.11 <u>Eligibility; Disqualification</u>. The Indenture Trustee shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition and it shall have a long-term debt rating of BBB, or an equivalent rating, or better by the Rating Agencies (to the extent rated by a Rating Agency), unless otherwise approved by the Rating Agencies. The Indenture Trustee shall provide copies of such reports to the Issuer upon request.

Within 90 days after ascertaining the occurrence of an Event of Default which shall not have been cured or waived, the Indenture Trustee may resign with respect to the Class A Notes, the Class B Notes, the Class C Notes, the Class D Notes and/or the Class E Notes in accordance with Section 6.8, and the Issuer shall appoint a successor Indenture Trustee for each of such Classes, as applicable, so that there will be separate Indenture Trustees for the Class A Notes, the Class B Notes, the Class C Notes, the Class D Notes and the Class E Notes.

In the case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Indenture Trustee with respect to any Class of Notes pursuant to this Section 6.11, the Issuer, the retiring Indenture Trustee and the successor Indenture Trustee with respect to such Class of Notes shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto wherein each successor Indenture Trustee shall accept such appointment and which (i) shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, the successor Indenture Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Indenture Trustee with respect to the Notes of the Class to which the appointment of such successor Indenture Trustee relates, (ii) if the retiring Indenture Trustee is not retiring with respect to all Classes of Notes, shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Indenture Trustee with respect to the Notes of each Class as to which the retiring Indenture Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the Indenture Trustee and (iii) shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Indenture Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall constitute such Indenture Trustees co-trustees of the same trust and that each such Indenture Trustee shall be a trustee of a trust or

------

trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such Indenture Trustee; and upon the removal of the retiring Indenture Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided herein.

The Noteholders hereby authorize the Indenture Trustee to take such action on their behalf, and to exercise such rights, remedies, powers and privileges hereunder, as are specifically authorized to be exercised by the Indenture Trustee by the terms hereof, together with such actions, rights, remedies, powers and privileges as are reasonably incidental thereto, including the execution of any powers of attorney. The Indenture Trustee shall act upon and in compliance with the written instructions of the Majority Noteholders delivered pursuant to this Indenture promptly following receipt of such written instructions; *provided*, that the Indenture Trustee shall act upon its own accord or in accordance with any instructions (i) if such actions are not authorized by, or in violation of the provisions of, this Indenture, (ii) if such actions are in violation of any applicable law, rule or regulation or (iii) with respect to actions for which the Indenture Trustee has been directed to act but for which the Indenture Trustee has not received indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it. Receipt of such instructions shall not be a condition to the exercise by the Indenture Trustee of its express duties hereunder, except where this Indenture provides that the Indenture Trustee is permitted to act only following and in accordance with such instructions.

SECTION VI.14 <u>Performance of Duties</u>. The Indenture Trustee shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Indenture and the other Basic Documents to which the Indenture Trustee is a party in accordance with this Indenture. The Indenture Trustee shall not be required to take any discretionary actions hereunder except at the written direction and with security and indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee.

Notwithstanding any term or provision of this Indenture, the Indenture Trustee shall incur no liability to the Issuer or the Noteholders for any action taken or omitted by the Indenture Trustee in connection with the Collateral, except for the negligence, bad

------

faith or willful misconduct on the part of the Indenture Trustee, and, further, shall incur no liability to the Noteholders except for negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in carrying out its duties to the Noteholders. The Indenture Trustee shall be protected and shall incur no liability to any such party in relying upon the accuracy, acting in reliance upon the contents, and assuming the genuineness of any notice, demand, certificate, signature, instrument or other document reasonably believed by the Indenture Trustee to be genuine and to have been duly executed by the appropriate signatory, and (absent actual knowledge to the contrary by a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee) the Indenture Trustee shall not be required to make any independent investigation with respect thereto. The Indenture Trustee shall at all times be free independently to establish to its reasonable satisfaction, but shall have no duty to independently verify, the existence or nonexistence of facts that are a condition to the exercise or enforcement of any right or remedy hereunder or under any of the other Basic Documents. The Indenture Trustee may consult with counsel, and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the advice of such counsel. The Indenture Trustee shall not be under any obligation to exercise any of the remedial rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder unless it shall have received security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it. This Section 6.15 shall survive the termination, assignment, resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee in accordance with the terms of this Indenture.

SECTION VI.16 <u>Representations and Warranties</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;(i) <u>Due Organization</u>. The Indenture Trustee is a national banking association and is duly authorized and licensed under applicable law to conduct its business as presently conducted.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) <u>Corporate Power</u>. The Indenture Trustee has all requisite right, power and authority to execute and deliver this Indenture and the other Basic Documents to which it is a party and to perform all of its duties as Indenture Trustee hereunder.

The execution and delivery by the Indenture Trustee of this Indenture and the other Basic Documents to which it is a party, and the performance by the Indenture Trustee of its duties hereunder and thereunder, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate proceedings and no further approvals or filings, including any governmental approvals, are required for the valid execution and delivery by the Indenture Trustee, or the performance by the Indenture Trustee, of this Indenture and such other Basic 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) <u>Valid and Binding Indenture</u>. The Indenture Trustee has duly executed and delivered this Indenture and each other Basic Document to which it is a party, and each of this Indenture and each such other Basic Document constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Indenture Trustee, enforceable against the Indenture Trustee in accordance with its terms, except as (A) such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy,

------

insolvency, reorganization and similar laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and (B) the availability of equitable remedies may be limited by equitable principles of general applicability.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) <u>No Conflicts</u>. The execution and delivery of each Basic Document to which it is a party by the Indenture Trustee and the performance by the Indenture Trustee of its obligations thereunder, in its capacity as Indenture Trustee or otherwise, do not conflict with or result in any violation of (A) any law or regulation of the United States of America governing the banking or trust powers of the Indenture Trustee or (B) the articles of incorporation and by-laws 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;(vi) <u>No Actions</u>. To the best of the Indenture Trustee's knowledge, there are no actions, proceedings or investigations known to the Indenture Trustee, either pending or threatened in writing, before any court, regulatory body, administrative agency or other tribunal or governmental instrumentality which would, if adversely determined, affect in any material respect the consummation, validity or enforceability against the Indenture Trustee, in its capacity as Indenture Trustee or otherwise, of any Basic Document.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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 Issuer hereby represents and warrants that each of the representations and warranties set forth on the Schedule of Representations attached hereto as Schedule A is true and correct. Such representations and warranties speak as of the execution and delivery of this Indenture, as of the Closing Date, but shall survive the pledge of the Receivables to the Indenture Trustee and shall not be waived.

SECTION VI.17 <u>Waiver of Setoffs</u>. The Indenture Trustee hereby expressly waives any and all rights of setoff that the Indenture Trustee may otherwise at any time have under applicable law with respect to any Trust Account and agrees that amounts in the Trust Accounts shall at all times be held and applied solely in accordance with the provisions hereof and the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

SECTION VI.18 <u>Reliance Upon Documents</u>.

The Indenture Trustee may determine whether or not any Notes would be affected by any supplemental indenture and any such determination shall be conclusive upon the Holders of all Notes, whether theretofore or thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder. The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any such determination made in good faith.

It shall not be necessary for any Act of Noteholders under this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such Act shall approve the substance thereof.

Promptly after the execution by the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee of any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Section, the Indenture Trustee shall mail to the Holders of the Notes a copy of such supplemental indenture. Any failure of the Indenture Trustee to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental 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;(b) In the event that the assets of the Trust are distributed pursuant to Section 8.1 of the Trust Agreement, all amounts on deposit in the Note Distribution Account shall be paid to the Noteholders up to the Outstanding Amount of the Notes and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon. If amounts are to be paid to Noteholders pursuant to this Section 10.1(b), the Servicer or the Issuer shall, to the extent practicable, furnish notice of such event to the Depositor, the Indenture Trustee and the Rating Agencies not fewer than ten days nor more than 45 days prior to the Redemption Date whereupon all such amounts shall be payable on the Redemption 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) that interest on the Notes shall cease to accrue on the Redemption Date.

Notice of redemption of the Notes shall be given by the Indenture Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Issuer. Failure to give notice of redemption, or any defect therein, to any Holder of any Note shall not impair or affect the validity of the redemption of any other Note.

Prior notice of redemption under Section 10.1(b) is not required to be given to the Noteholders.

SECTION X.3 <u>Notes Payable on Redemption Date</u>. The Notes to be redeemed shall, following notice of redemption, as required by Section 10.2 (in the case of redemption pursuant to Section 10.1(a)), on the Redemption Date become due and payable at the Redemption Price and (unless the Issuer shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price) no interest shall accrue on the Redemption Price for any period after the date to which accrued interest is calculated for purposes of calculating the Redemption Price.

Every certificate or opinion with respect to compliance with a condition or covenant provided for in this Indenture shall 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) a statement that each signatory of such certificate or opinion has read or has caused to be read such covenant or condition and the definitions herein relating thereto;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) (i) Prior to the deposit of any Collateral or other property or securities with the Indenture Trustee that is to be made the basis for the release of any property or securities subject to the lien of this Indenture, the Issuer shall, in addition to any obligation imposed in Section 11.1(a) or elsewhere in this Indenture, furnish to the Indenture Trustee an Officer's Certificate certifying or stating the opinion of each person signing such certificate as to the fair value (within 90 days of such deposit) to the Issuer of the Collateral or other property or securities to be so deposited.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(viii) Other than with respect to the release of any Purchased Receivables or Defaulted Receivables, whenever any property or securities are to be released from the lien of this Indenture, the Issuer shall also furnish to the Indenture Trustee an Officer's Certificate certifying or stating the opinion of each person signing such certificate as to the fair value (within 90 days of such release) of the property or securities proposed to be released and stating that in the opinion of such person the proposed release will not impair the security under this Indenture in contravention of the provisions hereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ix) Whenever the Issuer is required to furnish to the Indenture Trustee an Officer's Certificate certifying or stating the opinion of any signer thereof as to the matters described in clause (viii) above, the Issuer shall also furnish to the Indenture Trustee an Independent Certificate as to the same matters if the fair value of the property or securities and of all other property other than Purchased Receivables and Defaulted Receivables, or securities released from the lien of this Indenture since the commencement of the then current calendar year, as set forth in the certificates required by clause (viii) above and this clause (ix), equals ten percent (10%) or more of the Note Balance of the Notes, but such certificate need not be furnished in the case of any release of property or securities if the fair value thereof as set forth in the related Officer's Certificate is less than $25,000 or less than one percent (1%) of the then Note Balance of 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;(x) Notwithstanding Section 2.9 or any other provision of this Section, the Issuer may (A) collect, liquidate, sell or otherwise dispose of Receivables as and to the extent permitted or required by the Basic Documents and (B) make cash payments out of the Trust Accounts as and to the extent permitted or required by the Basic Documents.

SECTION XI.2 <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, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more other such Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents.

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

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

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

------

however, be construed to affect the Indenture Trustee's right to rely upon the truth and accuracy of any statement or opinion contained in any such document as provided in Article VI.

SECTION XI.3 <u>Acts of Noteholders</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 request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Noteholders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Noteholders in person or by agents duly appointed in writing; and except as herein otherwise expressly provided such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Indenture Trustee, and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Issuer. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the "<u>Act</u>" of the Noteholders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 6.1) conclusive in favor of the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer, if made in the manner provided in this Section. In the event the Indenture Trustee shall receive conflicting or inconsistent requests and indemnity from two or more groups of Noteholders, each representing less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes or the Majority Noteholders, as required by the context, the Indenture Trustee in its sole discretion may determine what action, if any, shall be taken, notwithstanding any other provisions 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;(b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved in any customary manner of the 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) The ownership of Notes shall be proved by the Note Register.

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

SECTION XI.4 <u>Notices, etc., to Indenture Trustee, Issuer and Rating Agencies</u>. Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Noteholders or other documents provided or permitted by this Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished to or filed with:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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 by any Noteholder or by the Issuer shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if personally delivered, delivered by overnight courier or mailed certified mail, return receipt requested and shall be deemed to have been duly given upon receipt to the Indenture Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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 Issuer by the Indenture Trustee or by any Noteholder shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if personally delivered, delivered by overnight courier or mailed certified mail, return receipt requested and shall deemed to have been duly given upon receipt to the Issuer addressed to: United Auto Credit Securitization Trust 2025-1, c/o Computershare Delaware Trust Company, 919 North Market Street, Suite 1600 Wilmington, DE 19801, Attention: Corporate Trust Administration, with a copy to United Auto Credit Securitization Trust 2025-1, c/o United Auto Credit Corporation, 1071 Camelback, Suite 100, Newport Beach, California 92660, Attention: Chief Financial Officer, or at any other address previously furnished in writing to the Indenture Trustee by Issuer. The Issuer shall promptly transmit any notice received by it from the Noteholders to 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) Notices required to be given to the Rating Agencies shall be provided by the Issuer in writing, personally delivered, electronically delivered, delivered by overnight courier or mailed certified mail, return receipt requested to (i) in the case of DBRS, at the following address: 140 Broadway, 35th Floor, New York 10005, Attention: ABS Surveillance, or via electronic delivery to abs_sureillance@dbrs.com, or (ii) in the case of Standard & Poor's, via electronic delivery to Servicer_reports@sandp.com; for any information not available in electronic format, hard copies should be sent to the following address: 55 Water Street, 41st floor, New York, New York 10041-0003, Attention: ABS Surveillance Group, or as to each of the foregoing, at such other address as shall be designated by written notice to the other parties.

SECTION XI.5 <u>Notices to Noteholders; Waiver</u>. Where this Indenture provides for notice to Noteholders of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class, postage prepaid to each Noteholder affected by such event, at his address as it appears on the Note Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice. In any case where notice to Noteholders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice nor any defect in any notice so mailed to any particular Noteholder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Noteholders, and any notice that is mailed in the manner here in provided shall conclusively be presumed to have been duly given.

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

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

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) <u>Imputed Information</u>. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Indenture, (i) a Responsible Officer of the Owner Trustee shall not be imputed with any knowledge of, or information possessed or obtained by, another Responsible Officer of Computershare Delaware Trust Company in any of its other capacities hereunder or under the other Basic Documents or vice versa (other than in instances where such capacities are performed by the same Responsible Officer(s)), and (ii) a responsible officer of any Affiliate of Computershare Delaware Trust Company shall not be imputed with any knowledge of, or information possessed or obtained by, another Responsible Officer of Computershare Delaware Trust Company, and vice versa, in any of its respective capacities hereunder (other than in instances where such capacities are performed by the same Person(s)).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) <u>Actual Knowledge</u>. The Owner Trustee shall not be deemed to have actual knowledge or notice of any event or information, including any Event of Default, or be required to act upon any event or information (including the sending of any notice), unless a Responsible Officer of the Owner Trustee actually knows of such event or information or a Responsible Officer of the Owner Trustee receives written notice of such event or information. Absent actual knowledge of a Responsible Officer of the Owner Trustee or receipt of written notice by a Responsible Officer of the Owner Trustee in accordance with this Section, the Owner Trustee may conclusively assume that no such event has occurred. The Owner Trustee shall have no obligation to inquire into, or investigate as to, the occurrence of any such event (including any Event of Default). For purposes of determining the Owner Trustee's responsibility and liability hereunder, whenever reference is made in this Indenture to any event (including an Event of Default), such reference shall be construed to refer only to such event of which the Owner Trustee has received written notice as described in this Section or a Responsible Officer of the Owner Trustee actually knows of such event or information.

SECTION XI.20 <u>Electronic Signatures</u>. This Agreement shall be valid, binding, and enforceable against a party only when executed and delivered by an authorized individual on behalf of the party by means of (i) any electronic signature permitted by the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, state enactments of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, and/or any other relevant electronic signatures law, including relevant provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code (collectively, "<u>Signature Law</u>"), (ii) an original manual signature, or (iii) a faxed, scanned or photocopied manual signature. Each faxed, scanned, or photocopied manual signature, or other electronic signature, shall for all purposes have the same validity, legal effect, and admissibility in evidence as an original manual signature. Each party hereto shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon, and shall have no liability with respect to, any faxed, scanned, or photocopied manual signature, or other electronic signature, of any party and shall have no duty to investigate, confirm or otherwise verify the validity or authenticity thereof. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but such counterparts shall, together, constitute one and the same instrument. For avoidance of doubt, original manual signatures shall be used for execution or indorsement of writings and authentication of certificates when required under the Uniform Commercial Code or other Signature Law due to the character or intended character of the writings.

[REVERSE OF NOTE]

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Issuer, designated as its Class [A] [B] [C] [D] [E] [__]% Automobile Receivables Backed Notes (herein called the "<u>Class [A] [B] [C] [D] [E] Notes</u>"), all issued under an Indenture, dated as of February 28, 2025 (such indenture, as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, is herein called the "<u>Indenture</u>"), between the Issuer and Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as indenture trustee (the "<u>Indenture Trustee</u>," which term includes any successor Indenture Trustee under the Indenture) to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights and obligations thereunder of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Holders of the Notes. The Notes are subject to all terms of the Indenture. All terms used in this Note that are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in or pursuant to the Indenture.

Authorized under the Indenture are the Class A Notes, the Class B Notes, the Class C Notes, the Class D Notes and the Class E Notes (collectively, the "<u>Notes</u>"). The Notes are and will be equally and ratably secured by the collateral pledged as security therefor as provided in the Indenture. The Class B Notes are subordinated in right of payment to the Class A Notes, the Class C Notes are subordinated in right of payment to the Class A Notes and the Class B Notes, the Class D Notes are subordinated in right of payment to the Class A Notes, the Class B Notes and the Class C Notes and the Class E Notes are subordinated in right of payment to the Class A Notes, the Class B Notes, the Class C Notes and the Class D Notes, in each case, as provided in the Indenture. The Class A Notes are entitled to receive payments of interest on a pari passu basis. Following the occurrence of certain Events of Default under the Indenture, however, payments of principal shall be made in the priority set forth in the Indenture.

Principal of the Class [A] [B] [C] [D] [E] Notes will be payable on each Distribution Date in an amount described on the face hereof. "<u>Distribution Date</u>" means the tenth day of each month, or, if any such date is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day, commencing April 10, 2025. The term "<u>Distribution Date</u>," shall be deemed to include the Final Scheduled Distribution Date.

As described above, the entire unpaid Note Balance of this Note shall be due and payable on the earlier of the Final Scheduled Distribution Date and the Redemption Date, if any, pursuant to the Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire unpaid Note Balance of the Notes may be due and payable on the date on which an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing if so declared by the Indenture Trustee. If such an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Indenture Trustee, if so directed in writing by the Majority Noteholders, shall declare the Notes to be immediately due and payable in the manner provided in the Indenture. All principal payments on the Class [A] [B] [C] [D] [E] Notes shall be made pro rata to the Class [A] [B] [C] [D] [E] Noteholders entitled thereto.

Payments of interest on this Note due and payable on each Distribution Date, together with the installment of principal, if any, to the extent not in full payment of this Note, shall be made by check mailed to the Person whose name appears as the Holder of this Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) on the Note Register as of the close of business on each Record Date, except that with respect to Notes registered on the Record Date in the name of the nominee

Ex. A-80

------

of the Clearing Agency (initially, such nominee to be Cede & Co.), payments will be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account designated by such nominee. Such checks shall be mailed to the Person entitled thereto at the address of such Person as it appears on the Note Register as of the applicable Record Date without requiring that this Note be submitted for notation of payment. Any reduction in the Note Balance of this Note (or any one or more Predecessor Notes) effected by any payments made on any Distribution Date shall be binding upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not noted hereon. If funds are expected to be available, as provided in the Indenture, for payment in full of the then remaining unpaid Note Balance of this Note on a Distribution Date, then the Indenture Trustee, in the name of and on behalf of the Issuer, will notify the Person who was the Holder hereof as of the Record Date preceding such Distribution Date by notice mailed prior to such Distribution Date and the amount then due and payable shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of this Note at the Indenture Trustee's principal Corporate Trust Office or at the office of the Indenture Trustee's agent appointed for such purposes located in St. Paul, Minnesota.

The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the Class [A] [B] [C] [D] [E] Interest Rate to the extent lawful.

No service charge will be charged for any registration of transfer or exchange of this Note, but the transferor may be required to pay a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any such registration of transfer or exchange.

[**<u>CLASS A, B, C AND D NOTES ONLY</u>**: If this Note has been issued as a Definitive Note, the Note Registrar shall not register the transfer of this Note unless the prospective transferee has represented and warranted in writing the representations set forth in Section 2.4(d) of the Indenture.]

[**<u>CLASS E NOTES ONLY</u>**: If this Note has been issued as a Definitive Note, the Note Registrar shall not register the transfer of this Note (or any interest herein) unless the prospective transferee has represented and warranted that it is not and will not become (i) a Benefit Plan Entity, as defined in Section 1.1 of the Indenture, (ii) an entity that is subject to any Similar Law, as defined in Section 1.1 of the Indenture or (iii) any Person who is directly or indirectly purchasing, holding or disposing this Note or any interest herein on behalf of, as fiduciary of, as trustee of, or with assets of any Benefit Plan Entity or any entity that is subject to any Similar Law.]

The Indenture also permits the Indenture Trustee to amend or waive certain terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture without the consent of Holders of the Notes issued thereunder.

<u>SCHEDULE A</u>

<u>REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE ISSUER</u>

<u>Representations and Warranties Regarding the Receivables</u>:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. <u>Security Interest in Financed Vehicle</u>. This Indenture creates a valid and continuing Security Interest (as defined in the applicable UCC) in the Receivables in favor of the Indenture Trustee, which Security Interest is prior to all other Liens, and is enforceable as such as against creditors of and purchasers from the Depositor. The Issuer owns and has good and marketable title to the Receivables free and clear of any Lien (other than the Lien in favor of the Indenture Trustee), claim or encumbrance of any Person.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. <u>All Filings Made</u>. The Issuer has taken all steps necessary to perfect the Indenture Trustee's security interest in the property securing the Receivables. All financing statements filed or to be filed against the Issuer in favor of the Indenture Trustee in connection herewith describing the Receivables contain a statement to the following effect: "A purchase of or a security interest in any collateral described in this financing statement will violate the rights of the Indenture Trustee."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. <u>No Impairment</u>. The Issuer has not done anything to convey any right to any Person that would result in such Person having a right to payments due under the Receivable or otherwise to impair the rights of the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders in any Receivable or the proceeds thereof. 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 any of the Receivables. The Issuer has not authorized the filing of and is not aware of any financing statements against the Issuer that include a description of collateral covering the Receivables other than any financing statement relating to the security interest granted to the Indenture Trustee hereunder or that has been terminated. The Issuer is not aware of any judgment or tax lien filings against it.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. <u>Chattel Paper</u>. The Receivables constitute "tangible chattel paper," "electronic chattel paper," "instruments" or "general intangibles" within the meaning of the UCC as in effect in the State of New York.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. <u>Good Title</u>. Immediately prior to the pledge of the Receivables to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Indenture, the Issuer was the sole owner thereof and had good and indefeasible title thereto, free of any Lien and, upon execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Trust shall have good and indefeasible title to and will be the sole owner of such Receivables, free of any Lien. No Dealer has a participation in, or other right to receive, proceeds of any Receivable.

------

beneficial owner for U.S. federal income tax purposes of the Certificates and any Notes that are treated as equity in the Issuer, or (B) a partnership (other than an association or publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation) if there is more than one beneficial owner for U.S. federal income tax purposes of the Certificates and any Notes that are treated as equity for U.S. federal income tax purposes in the Issuer, with the assets of the partnership being the Owner Trust Estate and other assets held by the Issuer, the partners of the partnership being the Certificate Owners and/or beneficial owners of Certificates (as applicable) and the holders of any Notes that are treated as equity in the Issuer for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and the remaining Notes constituting indebtedness of the partnership. The parties agree that, unless otherwise required by appropriate tax authorities, the Servicer will, on behalf of the Issuer, cause the Issuer to file or cause to be filed annual or other necessary returns, reports and other forms consistent with the characterization of the Issuer as provided in the preceding sentence for such 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;(b) Neither the Owner Trustee nor any Certificateholder or Certificate Owner will make an election on IRS Form 8832, or otherwise, to classify the Issuer as an association taxable as a corporation for federal, State or any other applicable tax purpose.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) Each Class of Notes is intended to be treated as indebtedness for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Depositor agrees, and the Noteholders by acceptance of their Notes agree, in the Indenture to such treatment and each agrees to take no action inconsistent with such treatment. If one or more Classes of Notes is recharacterized as an equity interest in the Issuer, and not as indebtedness (any such class, a "<u>Recharacterized Class</u>"), the Issuer will be characterized as a partnership among the Depositor or United Auto (to the extent either is at that time treated as an equity owner of the Issuer for U.S. federal income tax purposes), any other Certificate Owner, and any holders of Notes of a Recharacterized Class. In that event, this Agreement will be amended, in accordance with Section 10.1, and appropriate provisions will be added to provide for treatment of the Issuer as a partnership.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) In the event that the Issuer is classified as a partnership for federal income tax purposes, (i) the Depositor (or if the Depositor is no longer a Certificateholder, the Plurality Certificate Owner) is hereby designated as the "partnership representative" under Section 6223(a) of the Code and (ii) the partnership representative will or will cause the Issuer, to the extent eligible, to make the election under Section 6221(b) of the Code with respect to determinations of adjustments at the partnership level and take any other action (such as disclosures and notifications) necessary or appropriate to effectuate such election. If the election described in the preceding sentence is not available, to the extent applicable, the partnership representative will or will cause the Issuer to make the election under Section 6226(a) of the Code with respect to the alternative to payment of imputed underpayment by a partnership and take any other action such as filings, disclosures and notifications necessary or appropriate to effectuate such election. The partnership representative is authorized, in its sole discretion, to make any available election with respect to the BBA Partnership Audit Rules and take any action it deems necessary or appropriate to comply with the requirements of the Code and to conduct the Issuer's affairs with respect to the BBA Partnership Audit Rules. Each Certificateholder and Certificate Owner and, if different, each beneficial owner of a Certificate, shall promptly provide the partnership representative any requested information, documentation or material to enable the partnership representative to make any of the elections described in this Section 2.12(d) and otherwise comply with the BBA Partnership Audit Rules. The provisions of this Section 2.12(d) shall survive any termination of

------

this Agreement. In addition, should the Issuer be classified as a partnership, the partnership representative, may, in its sole discretion, cause the Issuer to make an election under Section 754 of the Code. The Owner Trustee shall have no liability for the actions or inactions of the partnership representative and no duty or responsibility or to oversee the partnership representative or to determine which Holder is the partnership representative.

# **Article III.** 

# **CertificateS and Transfer of Interest** 
SECTION III.1. <u>Initial Ownership</u>. Upon the formation of the Issuer and the contribution by the Depositor pursuant to Section 2.5 and until the issuance of the Certificates to the initial Certificateholders, the Depositor shall be the sole beneficial owner of the Issuer. Upon the issuance of the Certificates, the Depositor will no longer hold an interest in the Issuer, except to the extent that the Depositor is a Certificateholder or Certificate Owner. On the Closing Date, the Issuer shall issue the Certificates.

SECTION III.2. <u>The Certificates</u>. The Certificates shall be issued in an aggregate nominal principal amount of $100,000 (which shall be deemed to be the equivalent of 100,000 units), and all beneficial interests in the Certificates shall be owned, in the minimum nominal principal amount of $14,500 and integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof. The Issuer shall not issue any Certificate that would cause the aggregate nominal principal amount of all Certificates to exceed $100,000, or 100,000 units, except as otherwise provided in Section 3.5, without the prior written consent of all Certificateholders. The nominal principal amount of each Certificate held by a Certificateholder will be represented by their Percentage Interests in the Certificates. The aggregate Percentage Interests for all Certificates will at all times be 100%. Upon the written order of the Depositor, the Issuer shall issue the Certificates as Book-Entry Certificates in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee of DTC as the initial Clearing Agency, which shall be substantially in the form attached hereto as <u>Exhibit A</u>, each executed by manual signature of an authorized officer of the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Issuer, and authenticated and delivered by the Certificate Registrar, upon the written order of the Depositor. Upon issuance in accordance with the terms hereof, the Certificates shall be fully paid and nonassessable. The Certificateholders will be entitled, pro rata, to any amounts not needed to make payments on the Notes and on all other obligations to be paid under the Indenture and this Agreement, and to receive amounts remaining in the Reserve Account following the payment in full of the Notes and of all other amounts owing or to be distributed under this Agreement, the Indenture or the Sale and Servicing Agreement to the Noteholders, the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Servicer, the Backup Servicer, any successor Custodian or the lockbox bank on the termination of the Issuer. No distributions of moneys to the Certificateholders under the Indenture will be deemed to reduce the nominal principal amount of or the Percentage Interests in any Certificate prior to payment in full of all Outstanding Notes; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that the final $100,000 distributed to the Certificateholders under the Basic Documents upon final distribution of the Owner Trust Estate and termination of the Issuer will be deemed to repay the aggregate nominal principal amount of the Certificates in full; <u>provided</u>, <u>further</u>, any failure to pay in full the outstanding nominal amount of any Certificate on such final distribution date will not result in any recourse to, claim against or liability of any Person for such shortfall. A Certificate bearing the manual signatures of individuals who were, at the time when such signatures shall have been affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of the Issuer, shall be validly issued and entitled to the benefit of this Agreement, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them shall have ceased to be so authorized prior to the authentication

------

and delivery of such Certificate or did not hold such offices at the date of authentication and delivery of such Certificate. A transferee of a Certificate shall become a Certificateholder, and shall be entitled to the rights and subject to the obligations of a Certificateholder hereunder, upon due registration of such Certificate in such transferee's name pursuant to Section 3.4 and upon satisfaction of all transfer requirements set forth herein.

SECTION III.3. <u>Authentication of Certificates</u>. On the Closing Date, upon the written order of the Depositor the Owner Trustee shall cause the Certificates to be executed by manual signature on behalf of the Issuer, and the Certificate Registrar shall cause the Certificates to be authenticated and delivered to or upon the written order of the Depositor, signed by its authorized representative, without further limited liability company action by the Depositor. No Certificate shall entitle its holder to any benefit under this Agreement, or shall be valid for any purpose, unless there shall appear on such Certificate a certificate of authentication substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A, executed by the Certificate Registrar or the Certificate Registrar's authentication agent, by manual signature; such authentication shall constitute conclusive evidence that such Certificate shall have been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. Each Certificate shall be dated the date of its authentication.

SECTION III.4. <u>Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates</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 Certificate Registrar shall keep or cause to be kept, at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 3.7, a Certificate Register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Certificate Registrar shall provide for the registration of the Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of the Certificates as herein provided. The Book-Entry Certificates shall initially be registered on the Certificate Register in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee of DTC as the initial Clearing Agency, and no Certificate Owner will receive a Definitive Certificate representing such Certificateholder's interest in such Certificate, except as provided in Section 3.10. Notwithstanding the provisions set forth in this Agreement, no sale or transfer of a Certificate or a beneficial interest therein shall be effective hereunder if the sale or transfer thereof increases the number of beneficial owners of the Certificates and Class E Notes to more than ninety-five (95). For purposes of determining the total number of beneficial owners of the Certificates and Class E Notes, a beneficial owner of an interest in a partnership, grantor trust, S corporation or other flow-through entity that owns, directly or through other flow-through entities, a beneficial interest in a Certificate or Class E Note is treated as a holder of such Certificate or Class E Note if (i) substantially all of the value of the beneficial owner's interest (directly or indirectly) in the flow-through entity is attributed to the flow-through entity's interest in the Certificate or Class E Note and (ii) a principal purpose of the use of the flow-through entity to hold the Certificate or Class E Note is to satisfy the 95-holder limitation set out above. If using a flow-through entity to acquire a Certificate, the Certificateholder shall be deemed to have represented that it is not using the flow-through entity in order to avoid the 95-holder limitation set out above. If a beneficial owner of a Certificate or a member of its expanded group, as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.385-1(c)(4) (including through a controlled partnership as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.385-1(c)(1)), becomes the beneficial owner of a Note (directly, or through its expanded group), the Depositor is authorized, at its discretion, to compel such beneficial owner to sell its Certificate to a person who is not the beneficial owner of a Note (directly, or through its expanded group), so long as such sale does not otherwise cause a material adverse effect on 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) Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as Indenture Trustee, is hereby appointed the initial Certificate Registrar hereunder and Computershare Trust Company, N.A. hereby accepts such appointment. The provisions of Articles VI and VII shall apply to the Certificate Registrar and any successor Certificate Registrar and, to the extent applicable, to any other registrar appointed hereunder. The Certificate Registrar shall provide the Indenture Trustee with the name and address of the Certificateholders on the Closing Date. Upon any transfers of the Certificates, the Certificate Registrar shall notify the Indenture Trustee of the name and address of the transferee in writing, by facsimile, on the day of such transfer. The appointment of the Certificate Registrar hereunder shall survive the termination and discharge of the 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) Upon surrender for registration of transfer of a Certificate at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 3.7(b), and at the direction of the surrendering Holder, the Owner Trustee, on behalf of the Issuer shall execute and the Certificate Registrar shall authenticate and deliver (or shall cause its authenticating agent to authenticate and deliver) to such designated transferee, in the name of the designated transferee, one or more new Certificates evidencing such nominal principal amount and Percentage Interests requested for transfer dated the date of authentication by the Certificate Registrar or any authenticating agent. A transferee of a Certificate shall become a Certificateholder, and shall be entitled to the rights and subject to the obligations of a Certificateholder hereunder, upon due registration of such Certificate in such transferee's name pursuant to Section 3.4. In the event a transferor transfers only a portion of its nominal principal amount or Percentage Interests, upon the direction of the transferring Holder, the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Issuer shall execute, and the Certificate Registrar shall register, authenticate and deliver to such transferor, a new Certificate evidencing such transferor's new nominal principal amount and Percentage Interests and the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Issuer shall execute, and the Certificate Registrar, upon direction, shall register, authenticate and deliver to such transferee, a new Certificate evidencing such transferee's nominal principal amount and Percentage Interests. In connection with each transfer of a beneficial interest and upon the issuance of the new Certificate or Certificates, the Certificate Registrar, upon direction of the transferring Holder, shall cancel and destroy in accordance with its customary practices the Certificate surrendered to it in connection with such transfer. The Owner Trustee and the Certificate Registrar may treat, for all purposes whatsoever, the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the sole owner of the nominal principal amount and Percentage Interests evidenced by such Certificate without regard to any notice to the contrary.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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 Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer or exchange in form satisfactory to the Depositor, the Owner Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Certificateholder or his attorney duly authorized in writing, with such signature guaranteed by an "eligible guarantor institution" meeting the requirements of the Certificate Registrar, which requirements include membership or participation in the Securities Transfer Agent's Medallion Program ("<u>STAMP</u>") or such other "signature guarantee program" as may be determined by the Certificate Registrar in addition to, or in substitution for, STAMP, all in accordance with the Exchange Act. Each Certificate surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be canceled and subsequently disposed of by the Certificate Registrar in accordance with its customary practice. Transfers of Certificates shall also comply with the restrictions set forth in Section 3.11 and Section 3.13.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of the Certificates, but the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of the Certificates.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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 Certificates have not been registered under the Securities Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, or under the securities laws of any State. No transfer of the Certificates or any interest therein will be made unless such transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and effective registration or qualification under applicable State securities laws or is made in a transaction that does not require such registration or qualification. None of the Issuer, the Depositor, the Owner Trustee or any other Person has any obligation to register the Certificates under the Securities Act or under any State securities 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;(g) Until such time, if ever, as the Certificates are registered pursuant to a registration statement filed under the Securities Act, the Certificates will bear a legend substantially to the effect set forth on the form of the Certificates attached as <u>Exhibit A</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;(h) Registration of a transfer of the Certificates or any interest therein will be made with respect to a transfer that is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and effective registration or qualification under applicable State securities laws or is made in a transaction that does not require such registration or qualification, subject to the receipt by the Issuer and the Certificate Registrar of a certification from the transferee, acceptable to the Issuer, setting forth the basis for the exemption; it being understood that the Issuer may require an Opinion of Counsel to such effect.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) Each Certificateholder or Certificate Owner and, if different, each owner of a beneficial interest in a Certificate, represent to the Issuer and Owner Trustee by acceptance of a Certificate or beneficial interest therein that it is not and will not become subject to any withholding under FATCA.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) Except as permitted by Regulation RR, 17 C.F.R. § 246.1, et seq.

SECTION III.7. <u>Maintenance of Office or Agency</u>.

The Book-Entry Certificates shall be issued in an aggregate nominal principal amount of $100,000 (which shall be deemed to be the equivalent of 100,000 units), and all beneficial interests in the Book-Entry Certificates shall be owned, in the minimum nominal principal amount of $14,500 and integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof. The Issuer shall not issue any Certificate that would cause the aggregate nominal principal amount of all Certificates to exceed $100,000, or 100,000 units, without the prior written consent of all Certificateholders. The nominal principal amount of each Certificate held by a Certificateholder

------

will be represented by their Percentage Interests in the Certificates. The aggregate Percentage Interests for all Certificates will at all times be 100%. No distributions of moneys to the Certificateholders under the Basic Documents shall be deemed to reduce the nominal principal amount of or Percentage Interests in any Certificate prior to payment in full of all Notes; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that the final $100,000 distributed to the Certificateholders under the Basic Documents upon final distribution of the Owner Trust Estate and termination of the Issuer will be deemed to repay the aggregate nominal principal amount of the Certificates in full; <u>provided</u>, <u>further</u>, that any failure to pay in full the nominal principal amount of a Certificate on such final distribution date shall not result in any recourse to, claim against or liability of any Person for such shortfall. Any amounts payable to the Certificateholders on or in respect of the Certificates under the Basic Documents shall be paid and allocated to the various Certificateholders ratably based on their respective nominal principal amounts and Percentage Interests. The Book-Entry Certificates shall initially be registered on the Certificate Register in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee of DTC as the initial Clearing Agency, and no Certificate Owner will receive a Definitive Certificate representing such Certificateholder's interest in such Certificate, except as provided in Section 3.10.

For purposes of determining the total number of beneficial owners of Certificates and Class E Notes, a beneficial owner of an interest in a partnership, grantor trust, S corporation or other flow-through entity that owns, directly or through other flow-through entities, a Certificate or Class E Note is treated as a beneficial owner of such note or equity interest if (i) substantially all of the value of the beneficial owner's interest (directly or indirectly) in the flow-through entity is attributed to the flow-through entity's interest in such Certificate or Class E Note, and (ii) a principal purpose of the use of the flow-through entity to hold such Certificate or Class E Note is to satisfy the 95-holder limitation set out above. If using a flow-through entity to acquire a beneficial interest in a Certificate, each prospective beneficial owner of a Certificate represents that it is not using a flow-through entity in order to avoid the 95-holder limitation set out above.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) It agrees that if any member of the transferee's expanded group as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.385-1(c)(4) (including through a controlled partnership as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.385-1(c)(1)), is or will become the beneficial owner of a Note, the Depositor is authorized, at its discretion, to compel such Certificateholder to sell its Certificate to a Person whose ownership complies with this paragraph so long as such sale does not otherwise cause a material adverse effect on the 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;(i) The Certificate Registrar shall require that every Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer and accompanied by IRS Form W-9, W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, or W-8ECI (or successor forms), or such other form as may be reasonably required, in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar, duly executed by the Certificateholder or such Person's attorney in writing.

SECTION III.14. <u>ERISA Restrictions</u> .

By accepting and holding a Certificate (or any interest therein), the Holder thereof shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that it is not and will not become a Benefit Plan Entity or any entity that is subject to any Similar Law.

SECTION III.15. <u>Appointment of Certificate Paying Agent</u>. The Certificate Paying Agent shall make distributions to the Certificateholders from the Certificate Distribution Account pursuant to Article XI.

The Depositor or the Majority Certificateholders may revoke such power and remove the Certificate Paying Agent if the Depositor or the Majority Certificateholders determines, in its or their sole discretion, as the case may be, that the Certificate Paying Agent shall have failed to perform its obligations under this Agreement in any material respect.

Computershare Trust Company, N.A. shall be permitted to resign as Certificate Paying Agent upon 30 days' written notice to the Owner Trustee and the Depositor. In the event that Computershare Trust Company, N.A. shall no longer be the Certificate Paying Agent, the Depositor, with the consent of the Owner Trustee, shall appoint a successor to act as Certificate Paying Agent (which shall be a bank or trust company). The Owner Trustee shall cause such successor Certificate Paying Agent or any additional Certificate Paying Agent appointed hereunder to execute and deliver to the Owner Trustee an instrument in which such successor Certificate Paying Agent or additional Certificate Paying Agent shall agree with the Owner Trustee that, as Certificate Paying Agent, such successor Certificate Paying Agent or additional Certificate Paying Agent will hold all sums, if any, held by it for payment to the Certificateholders in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Certificateholders. The Certificate Paying Agent shall return all unclaimed funds to the Owner Trustee and upon removal of a Certificate Paying Agent such Certificate Paying Agent shall also return all funds in its possession to the Owner Trustee. The provisions of Articles VI and VII shall apply to the Certificate Paying Agent and any successor Certificate Paying Agent and, to the extent applicable, to any other paying agent appointed

SECTION IV.6. <u>Covenants and Restrictions on Conduct of Business</u>.

The Servicer shall provide notice as soon as practicable to the Owner Trustee, Certificate Registrar and Certificate Paying Agent of any prospective dissolution, winding-up and termination pursuant to this Section. The bankruptcy, liquidation, dissolution, death or incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not (x) operate to terminate this Agreement or the Issuer, (y) entitle such Certificateholder's legal representatives or heirs to claim an accounting or to take any action or proceeding in any court for a partition or winding up of all or any part of the Issuer or Owner Trust Estate nor (z) otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the parties hereto.

The Servicer on behalf of the Owner Trustee shall give such notice to the Indenture Trustee at the time such notice is given to the Certificateholders.

------

In the event that a Certificateholder shall not surrender its Certificate for cancellation within six months after the date specified in the above mentioned written notice, the Certificate Registrar shall make available a second written notice to such Certificateholder to surrender its Certificate for cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect thereto.

Any funds remaining in the Issuer after exhaustion of such remedies shall be distributed, subject to applicable escheat laws, by the Certificate Paying Agent to the Holders.

SECTION IX.3. <u>Successor Owner Trustee</u>. Any successor Owner Trustee appointed pursuant to Section 9.2 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor, the Servicer and to its predecessor Owner Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment under this Agreement, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor Owner Trustee shall become effective and such successor Owner Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor under this Agreement, with like effect as if originally named as Owner Trustee. The predecessor Owner Trustee shall upon payment of its fees and expenses deliver to the successor Owner Trustee all documents and statements and monies held by it under this Agreement; and the Depositor and the predecessor Owner Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required for fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor Owner Trustee all such rights, powers, duties and obligations.

No successor Owner Trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Owner Trustee shall be eligible pursuant to Section 9.1.

------

SECTION IX.4. <u>Merger or Consolidation of Owner Trustee</u>. Any entity into which the Owner 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 Owner Trustee shall be a party, or any entity succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Owner Trustee, shall be the successor of the Owner Trustee hereunder, provided such entity shall be eligible pursuant to Section 9.1, without the execution or filing of any instrument or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding; *provided, however*, that once effective, the Owner Trustee shall mail notice of such merger or consolidation to the Depositor and the Servicer (who shall notify the Rating Agencies).

If the Servicer shall not have joined in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request to do so, the Owner Trustee shall have the power to make such appointment. No co-trustee or separate trustee under this Agreement shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee pursuant to Section 9.1 and no notice of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required pursuant to Section 9.3. A co-trustee or separate trustee appointed hereunder is not an agent of the Owner Trustee.

Each 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;(b) no trustee under this Agreement shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee under this Agreement; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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 Servicer and the Owner Trustee acting jointly may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee.

Any notice, request or other writing given to the Owner Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions of this Article. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall (i) be vested with the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Owner Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement, specifically including every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Owner Trustee, and (ii) agree to indemnify the Owner Trustee for its acts or omissions pursuant to its appointment hereto.

Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Depositor shall promptly appoint a successor Certificate Registrar by written instrument, in duplicate, one original of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Certificate Registrar and one original to the successor Certificate Registrar (with a copy to the Depositor, the Servicer and the Owner Trustee).

# **Article XI. <br>Application of Trust Funds; Certain Duties** 
SECTION XI.1. <u>Establishment of Trust Accounts</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 shall, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, cause the Certificate Paying Agent to establish and maintain in the name of the Trust a distribution non-interest bearing account (the "<u>Certificate Distribution Account</u>"), bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Certificateholders. The Certificate Distribution Account shall be maintained as an Eligible Account and shall initially be established by the Certificate Paying Agent pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

------

SECTION XI.2. <u>Application of Trust Funds</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) On each Distribution Date the Certificate Paying Agent shall distribute amounts deposited in the Certificate Distribution Account pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement or Indenture, as applicable, with respect to such Distribution Date in the following order of priority:

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

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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 Holder of a Certificate shall, on or prior to the date such Holder becomes a Holder, provide the Owner Trustee and the Certificate Paying Agent with Internal Revenue Service form W-9, W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E or W-8ECI (or successor forms), as appropriate, and any documentation or certification required or reasonably appropriate for the Certificate Paying Agent to satisfy its obligations with respect to the tax laws of the United States. Any such Holder agrees by its acceptance of a Certificate, on an ongoing basis, to provide updated certification when required by law and to notify the Owner Trustee and the Certificate Paying Agent should subsequent circumstances arise affecting the information provided the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Paying Agent pursuant to this paragraph. The Owner Trustee and the Certificate Paying Agent shall be fully protected in relying upon, and each Holder by its acceptance of a Certificate hereunder agrees to indemnify and hold the Owner Trustee and the Certificate Paying Agent harmless against all claims or liability of any kind arising in connection with or related to the Owner Trustee's and the Certificate Paying Agent's reliance upon any documents, forms or information provided by any Holder to the Owner Trustee and the Certificate Paying Agent. Upon request from the Certificate Paying Agent, the Issuer will provide such additional information that it may have to assist the Certificate Paying Agent in making any withholdings or informational reports.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) Each Holder of a Certificate that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States acknowledges and agrees that the Certificate Paying Agent shall have the right to deduct and withhold any required U.S. withholding tax, including any withholding tax pursuant to FATCA, on any amounts payable with respect to the Certificates (without any corresponding gross-up or other indemnification), if any such Holder either is subject to withholding under FATCA, fails to comply with the documentation requirements in Section 11.2(c), or otherwise fails to establish a complete exemption form such withholding tax to the reasonable satisfaction of the Certificate Paying Agent. Nothing within this paragraph shall be interpreted in such a manner as to contradict Section 3.4(i) of this Agreement.

SECTION XI.3. <u>Method of Payment</u>. Distributions required to be made to the Certificateholders on any Distribution Date shall be made to each Certificateholder of record on the related Record Date either by wire transfer, in immediately available funds, to (i) for the Book-Entry Certificates, the account of the Clearing Agency and (ii) for the Definitive Certificates, such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder shall have provided to the Certificate Registrar and the Certificate Paying Agent appropriate written instructions at least five Business Days prior to such Distribution Date, or, if not, by check mailed to such Certificateholder at the address of such Certificate Owner appearing in the Certificate Register.

SECTION XI.4. <u>Investment of Funds</u>. In the absence of written investment direction, the Certificate Paying Agent may hold funds uninvested without any obligation or liability to pay for interest or earnings.

SECTION XI.5. <u>U.S.A. Patriot Act Compliance</u>. The parties hereto acknowledge that in accordance with laws, regulations and executive orders of the United States or any state or political subdivision thereof as are in effect from time to time applicable to financial institutions relating to the funding of terrorist activities and money laundering, including, without limitation, the USA Patriot Act (Pub. L. 107-56) and regulations promulgated by U.S. Department of Treasury or the Office of Foreign Asset Control (collectively, "<u>Banking AML Law</u>"), the Owner Trustee is required to obtain, verify, and record information relating to individuals and entities that establish a business relationship or open an account with the Owner Trustee. Each party hereto agrees that it shall provide the Owner Trustee with such information and documentation as the Owner Trustee may request from time to time in order to enable the Owner Trustee to comply with all applicable requirements of Banking AML Law, including, but not limited to, information or documentation used to identify and verify each party's identity, including, but not limited to, each party's name, physical address, tax identification number, organizational documents, certificates of good standing, licenses to do business or other pertinent identifying information. By accepting and holding a Certificate or beneficial ownership interest in a Certificate, each Holder thereof shall be deemed to have made each of the agreements and acknowledgements made by the parties hereto in this <u>Section 11.5</u>. In addition to the Owner Trustee's obligations under Banking AML Law, the Corporate Transparency Act (31 U.S.C. § 5336) and its implementing regulations (collectively, the "<u>CTA</u>" and together with Banking AML Law, "<u>AML Law</u>"), may require the Trust to file reports with the U.S. Financial Crimes Enforcement Network/FinCEN. It shall be the Depositor's duty and not the Owner Trustee's duty to prepare such filings, cause the Trust to make such filings, and to cause the Trust to comply with its obligations under the CTA, if any.

------

The parties hereto, and each Certificateholder and Certificate Owner, by virtue of its acceptance of a Certificate or beneficial interest in a Certificate, agree that, for purposes of AML Law, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Certificateholders and the Certificate Owners are the sole direct owners of the Trust, acknowledge that the Owner Trustee acts solely as a directed trustee at the direction of the Servicer, the Depositor, the Certificateholders and the Certificate Owners or other instructing party as contemplated hereunder and that one or more Controlling Parties of the Servicer, the Depositor, the Certificateholders, the Certificate Owners or such other instructing party, are and shall be deemed to be the parties with the power and authority to exercise substantial control over the Trust.

(Reverse of Certificate)

This Certificate does not represent an obligation of, or an interest in, the Depositor, the Servicer, the Owner Trustee or any Affiliates of any of them and no recourse may be had against such parties or their assets, except as may be expressly set forth or contemplated herein or in the Trust Agreement, the Indenture or the other Basic Documents. In addition, this Certificate is not guaranteed by any governmental agency or instrumentality and is limited in right of payment to certain collections with respect to the Receivables, all as more specifically set forth herein and in the Sale and Servicing Agreement. A copy of each of the Sale and Servicing Agreement and the Trust Agreement may be examined during normal business hours at the principal office of the Depositor, and at such other places, if any, designated by the Depositor, by any Certificateholder upon written request.

The Trust Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Depositor under the Trust Agreement at any time by the Depositor and the Owner Trustee with the consent of the Majority Noteholders and the Certificateholder. Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and on all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Trust Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Certificateholders.

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

No sale or transfer of a Certificate shall be permitted (including, without limitation, by pledge or hypothecation), and no such sale or transfer shall be registered by the Certificate Registrar or be effective hereunder, if the sale or transfer thereof increases to more than 95 the sum of the number of Certificateholders and Certificate Owners (and, if different, each owner of a beneficial interest in a Certificate) and Class E Noteholders. For purposes of determining the total number of beneficial owners of the Certificates and Class E Notes, a beneficial owner of an interest in a partnership, grantor trust, S corporation or other flow-through entity that owns, directly or through other flow-through entities, a beneficial interest in a Certificate or Class E Note is treated as a holder of such Certificate or Class E Note if (i) substantially all of the value of the beneficial owner's interest (directly or indirectly) in the flow through entity is attributed to the flow-through entity's interest in the Certificate or Class E Note and (ii) a principal purpose of the use of the flow-through entity to hold the Certificate or Class E Note is to satisfy the 95 holder limitation set out above. If using a Flow-Through Entity to acquire this Certificate, the Holder hereof shall be

------

deemed to have represented that it is not using the flow-through entity in order to avoid the ninety-five (95) holder limitation set out above. If a beneficial owner of a Certificate or a member of its expanded group, as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.385-1(c)(4) (including through a controlled partnership as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.385-1(c)(1)), becomes the beneficial owner of a Note (directly, or through its expanded group), the Depositor is authorized, at its discretion, to compel such beneficial owner to sell its Certificate to a person who is not the beneficial owner of a Note (directly, or through its expanded group), so long as such sale does not otherwise cause a material adverse effect on the Issuer.

Exhibit 10.5

**CUSTODIAN AGREEMENT**

**between**

**UNITED AUTO CREDIT CORPORATION, as Custodian, and**

**COMPUTERSHARE TRUST COMPANY, N.A., as Indenture Trustee**

**Dated as of February 28, 2025**

------

THIS CUSTODIAN AGREEMENT, dated as of February 28, 2025 (this "<u>Agreement</u>"), is between UNITED AUTO CREDIT CORPORATION, as custodian (in such capacity, the "<u>Custodian</u>") and COMPUTERSHARE TRUST COMPANY, N.A., as indenture trustee acting on behalf of the holders of the Notes (the "<u>Indenture Trustee</u>"). Capitalized terms used herein which are not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Purchase Agreement, the Sale and Servicing Agreement or the Indenture (each, as hereinafter defined).

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

WHEREAS, United Auto Credit Corporation ("<u>United Auto</u>") and United Auto Credit Financing LLC (the "<u>Depositor</u>") have entered into a Purchase Agreement, dated as of February 28, 2025 (the "<u>Purchase Agreement</u>"), pursuant to which United Auto has sold, transferred and assigned to the Depositor all of its right, title and interest in and to the Receivables and certain Other Conveyed Property;

WHEREAS, the Issuer, United Auto, as Servicer (the "<u>Servicer</u>"), the Depositor and Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as Indenture Trustee and Backup Servicer, have entered into a Sale and Servicing Agreement, dated as of February 28, 2025 (the "<u>Sale and Servicing Agreement</u>"), pursuant to which the Depositor has sold, transferred and assigned to the Issuer all of Depositor's right, title and interest in and to the Receivables and certain Other Conveyed Property;

WHEREAS, the Issuer has entered into an Indenture, dated as of February 28, 2025 (the "<u>Indenture</u>"), between the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, pursuant to which the Issuer issued the Notes secured by the Receivables and certain other Collateral; and

WHEREAS, the Indenture Trustee wishes to appoint the Custodian to hold the Receivable Files as the custodian on behalf of the Indenture Trustee.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained and other good and valuable consideration the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. <u>Appointment of Custodian; Acknowledgement of Receipt</u>. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Indenture Trustee hereby revocably appoints the Custodian, and the Custodian hereby accepts such appointment, as custodian and bailee on behalf of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, to maintain exclusive custody of the Receivable Files relating to the Receivables from time to time pledged to the Indenture Trustee as part of the Other Conveyed Property; <u>provided</u>, that it is understood and agreed that the Indenture Trustee shall not be responsible for the acts or omissions of the Custodian. In performing its duties hereunder, the Custodian agrees to act with reasonable care, using that degree of skill and attention that a commercial bank acting in the capacity of a custodian would exercise with respect to files relating to comparable automotive or other receivables that it services or holds for itself or others (the "<u>Standard of Care</u>"). The Custodian hereby, as of the Closing Date, acknowledges receipt of the Receivable File for each Receivable listed in the Schedule of Receivables attached as Schedule A to the Sale and Servicing Agreement, subject to any exceptions noted on the Custodian's Acknowledgement (as defined below). As evidence of its acknowledgement of such receipt of

------

such Receivables, the Custodian shall execute and deliver on the Closing Date the Custodian's Acknowledgement attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "<u>Custodian's Acknowledgement</u>").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. <u>Maintenance of Receivables Files at Office</u>. The Custodian agrees to maintain the Receivable Files (or access to any Receivable Files stored in electronic format) at its office located at 1071 Camelback Street, Suite 100, Newport Beach, California 92660 or at such other office in the United States as shall from time to time be identified to the Indenture Trustee upon prior written notice. The Custodian will hold the Receivable Files in such office on behalf of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, clearly identified as being separate from any other instruments and files on its records, including other instruments and files held by the Custodian and in compliance with Section 3(a) of this Agreement. With respect to each Receivable evidenced by an Electronic Contract, the Custodian shall maintain an Authoritative Copy of such Electronic Contract in the UACC 2025-1 ABS Vault Partition.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. <u>Duties of Custodian</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) <u>Safekeeping</u>. The Custodian shall hold the Receivable Files, including any receivables systems on which the Receivable Files are electronically stored, on behalf of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee clearly identified as being separate from all other files or records maintained by the Custodian at the same location and shall maintain, or cause to be maintained, such accurate and complete accounts, records and computer systems, including the E-Vault System, pertaining to each Receivable File as will enable the Indenture Trustee and the Servicer to comply with the terms and conditions of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, the Custodian may convert a Receivable that is "tangible chattel paper" (within the meaning of the UCC as in effect in the State of New York) to "electronic chattel paper" (within the meaning of the UCC as in effect in the State of New York) and may convert a Receivable that is "electronic chattel paper" (within the meaning of the UCC as in effect in the State of New York) to "tangible chattel paper" (within the meaning of the UCC as in effect in the State of New York). Each Receivable shall be identified on the books and records of the Custodian in a manner that (i) is consistent with the Standard of Care, (ii) indicates that the Receivables are held by the Custodian on behalf of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee and (iii) is otherwise necessary, as reasonably determined by the Custodian, to comply with the terms of this Agreement. The Custodian shall conduct, or cause to be conducted, periodic physical inspections of the Receivable Files held by it under this Agreement, and of the related accounts, records and computer systems, in such a manner as shall enable the Indenture Trustee and the Custodian to verify the accuracy of the Custodian's inventory and recordkeeping. Such inspections shall be conducted at such times, in such manner and by such Persons including, without limitation, Independent Accountants, as the Indenture Trustee may request and the cost of such inspections shall be borne directly by the Custodian and not by the Indenture Trustee. The Custodian shall promptly report to the Indenture Trustee any failure on its part to hold the Receivable Files and maintain its accounts, records and computer systems as herein provided and promptly take appropriate action to remedy any such failure. Upon request, the Custodian shall make copies or other electronic file records (e.g. diskettes, CDs, etc.) (the "<u>Copies</u>") of the Receivable Files and shall deliver such Copies to the Indenture Trustee and the Indenture Trustee shall hold such Copies on behalf of the Noteholders. Subject to Sections 3(d) and 3(f) of this Agreement, the Custodian shall, or shall cause any sub-contractor to, at all times maintain (i) the original (or certified copy) of the fully executed original retail installment sales contract or promissory note; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, this shall not apply to a Receivable that has

been converted from "tangible chattel paper" (within the meaning of the UCC as in effect in the State of New York) to "electronic chattel paper" (within the meaning of the UCC as in effect in the State of New York), and, for an Electronic Contract, the Authoritative Copy of such Electronic Contract as described in Section 3(f) of this Agreement and (ii) the original of the Lien Certificate or application therefor (if no such Lien Certificate has yet been issued), in each case relating to each Receivable in a fire resistant vault, consistent with the Standard of Care; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, the Lien Certificate may be maintained with a sub-contractor pursuant to Section 8 of this Agreement or electronically by the Registrar of Titles of the applicable State pursuant to applicable State laws, with confirmation thereof maintained by the Custodian or a sub-contractor.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) <u>Access to Records</u>. The Custodian shall, subject only to the Custodian's security requirements applicable to its own employees having access to similar records held by the Custodian, which requirements shall be consistent with the Standard of Care, and at such times as may be reasonably imposed by the Custodian, permit only the (i) the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders or (ii) following the discharge of the Indenture, the Owner Trustee, acting at the direction of the Majority Certificateholders or, in each case, its duly authorized representatives, attorneys or auditors to inspect, at the Servicer's expense, the Receivable Files and the related accounts, records and computer systems maintained by the Custodian pursuant hereto at such times as the Indenture Trustee or Owner Trustee, as applicable, may reasonably request.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) <u>Release of Documents</u>. Consistent with the Standard of Care, the Custodian may release any Receivable in the Receivable Files to the Servicer, if appropriate, under the circumstances provided in Section 3.4(b) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) <u>Administration; Reports</u>. The Custodian shall, in general, attend to all non-discretionary details in connection with maintaining custody of the Receivable Files on behalf of the Indenture Trustee. In addition, the Custodian shall assist the Issuer, the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee, as applicable, generally in the preparation of any routine reports to Noteholders or to regulatory bodies, to the extent necessitated by the Custodian's custody of the Receivable Files.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) <u>Review of Lien Certificates</u>. On or before the Closing Date, the Custodian shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee a listing in the form attached hereto as Schedule II of Exhibit A, of all Receivables with respect to which a Lien Certificate, showing United Auto as secured party, was not included in the related Receivable File as of such date. In addition, the Custodian shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee an exception report, in the form attached hereto as Schedule I of Exhibit A, (i) no later than the last Business Day of the calendar month during which the 90th day after the Closing Date occurred, (ii) no later than the last Business Day of the calendar month during which the 180th day after the Closing Date occurred and (iii) at any other time upon the written request of the Indenture Trustee.

In no event shall the Custodian be directly liable to any third party for acts or omissions of the Custodian. The indemnity obligations hereunder shall survive any termination or assignment of this Agreement or the resignation or removal of any party.

<u>The Receivables</u>

SECTION III.1. <u>Representations and Warranties of United Auto</u><u>»</u>. United Auto has made, under the Purchase Agreement, each of the representations and warranties set forth on the Schedule of Representations attached hereto as Schedule B and represents and warrants that the representations and warranties set forth on the Schedule of Representations are true and correct in all material respects. The Issuer is deemed to have relied on such representations and warranties in acquiring the Receivables. Such representations and warranties speak as of the execution and delivery of this Agreement and as of the Closing Date, but shall survive the sale, transfer and assignment of the Receivables to the Issuer and the pledge thereof to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture and shall not be waived.

United Auto hereby agrees that the Issuer shall have the right to enforce any and all rights of the Depositor under the Purchase Agreement assigned to the Issuer under this Agreement, including the right to require United Auto to repurchase Receivables in accordance with the Purchase Agreement upon a breach of the representations and warranties set forth in Schedule B, directly against United Auto as though the Issuer were a party to the Purchase Agreement and that the Issuer shall not be obligated to enforce any such right indirectly through the Depositor.

SECTION III.2. <u>Representations and Warranties of Depositor</u><u>»</u>. The Depositor hereby represents and warrants that each of the representations and warranties set forth on the Schedule of Representations attached hereto as Schedule B is true and correct. The Issuer is deemed to have relied on such representations and warranties in acquiring the Receivables. Such representations and warranties speak as of the execution and delivery of this Agreement and as of the Closing Date, but shall survive the sale, transfer and assignment of the Receivables to the Issuer and the pledge thereof to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture and shall not be waived.

SECTION III.3. <u>Repurchase upon Breach</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Depositor, the Servicer, the Backup Servicer, the Indenture Trustee or the Issuer, as the case may be, shall inform the other parties to this Agreement promptly, by notice in writing, upon (i) the discovery by the Depositor, the Servicer or the Issuer, or (ii) the receipt of written notice by or actual knowledge of a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee or Backup Servicer, of any breach of United Auto's or the Depositor's representations and warranties made pursuant to Section 3.1 or 3.2, respectively. As of the last day of the second (or, if the Depositor so elects, the first) month following the discovery by the Depositor or receipt by the Depositor of notice of such breach, unless such breach is cured by such date, the Depositor shall have an obligation to repurchase any Receivable in which the interests of the Noteholders are materially and adversely affected by any such breach as of such date. The "second month" shall mean the calendar month following the calendar month in which discovery occurs or notice is given, and the "first month" shall mean the calendar month in which discovery occurs or notice is given. In consideration of and simultaneously with the repurchase of the Receivable, the Depositor shall remit, or cause United Auto to remit, to the Collection Account the Purchase Amount in the manner specified in Section 5.6 and the Issuer shall execute, at the Depositor's sole expense, such assignments and other documents reasonably requested by such Person in order to effect such repurchase. If the Depositor fails to cause any such Receivable to be so repurchased by remitting (or causing United Auto to remit) the related Purchase Amount to the Collection Account as

------

required, the initial Servicer shall promptly notify the Noteholders of such event and specify in such notice each Receivable that was not so repurchased as required. Except as set forth in the last paragraph of this Section 3.3(a), the sole remedy of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Backup Servicer and the Noteholders with respect to a breach of representations and warranties pursuant to Section 3.1 or 3.2 and the agreement contained in this Section shall be the repurchase of Receivables pursuant to this Section, subject to the conditions contained herein, or to enforce the obligation of United Auto to the Depositor to repurchase such Receivables pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. The Issuer agrees that it will take the steps set forth in Section 5.2 of the Purchase Agreement with respect to Receivables and Other Conveyed Property that are repurchased by the Depositor hereunder or repurchased by United Auto as Seller pursuant to Section 5.1 of the Purchase Agreement. None of the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or the Backup Servicer shall have a duty to conduct any affirmative investigation as to the occurrence of any conditions requiring the repurchase of any Receivable pursuant to this Section. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, none of the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or the Backup Servicer shall have any duty to ensure the eligibility of any Receivable for purposes of this Agreement or, except as provided in this Section, to enforce the repurchase obligations of the Depositor, unless a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee or the Backup Servicer, or a Responsible Officer (as such term is defined in the Trust Agreement) of the Owner Trustee, has received written notice of or has actual knowledge of such breach pursuant to the terms of the Basic Documents. For the avoidance of doubt, none of the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee nor the Backup Servicer shall be responsible for determining whether any breach of representations or warranty or document defect constitutes a breach or defect or the materiality thereof or any repurchase-related liabilities.

In addition to the foregoing and notwithstanding whether the related Receivable shall have been repurchased by the Depositor, the Depositor shall indemnify the Trust, the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Backup Servicer and the officers, directors, agents and employees thereof, and the Noteholders against all costs, expenses, losses, damages, claims and liabilities, including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel, which may be asserted against or incurred by any of them as a result of claims arising out of the events or facts giving rise to such breach, including any legal fees, costs (including court costs), and expenses incurred in connection with any enforcement (including any action, claim, or suit brought) by the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee or the Backup Servicer of any indemnification or other obligation of the Depositor. In the event the Depositor fails to provide such indemnity payments due pursuant to this paragraph to the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee or the Backup Servicer, the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee and the Backup Servicer shall collect such indemnities amounts pursuant to Section 5.7(b) hereof or Section 5.6 of the Indenture. This Section shall survive the termination or assignment of this Agreement and the earlier removal or resignation of the Depositor, the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee and/or the Backup Servicer.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Pursuant to Sections 2.1, the Depositor conveyed to the Trust all of the Depositor's right, title and interest in its rights and benefits, but none of its obligations or burdens, under the Purchase Agreement including the Depositor's rights under the Purchase Agreement and the delivery requirements, representations and warranties and the cure or repurchase and indemnity obligations of United Auto thereunder. The Depositor hereby represents and warrants to the Trust that such assignment is valid, enforceable and effective to permit the Trust to enforce such obligations of United Auto under the Purchase Agreement. Any purchase by United Auto pursuant to the Purchase Agreement shall be deemed a purchase by the Depositor pursuant to this Section 3.3 and the definition of Purchased Receivable.

SECTION III.4. <u>Custody of Receivable Files</u><u>»</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) In connection with the sale, transfer and assignment of the Receivables and the Other Conveyed Property to the Trust pursuant to this Agreement and the Purchase Agreement and simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Indenture Trustee shall enter into the Custodian Agreement, pursuant to which the Indenture Trustee shall revocably appoint the Custodian, and the Custodian shall accept such appointment, to act as the agent and bailee of the Indenture Trustee as custodian of the following documents or instruments in its possession or control (the "<u>Receivable Files</u>") which shall be, with respect to each Receivable evidenced by a contract which constitutes "tangible chattel paper" (within the meaning of the UCC as in effect in the State of New York), delivered to the Custodian as agent and bailee of the Indenture Trustee on or before the Closing Date or with respect to each Receivable evidenced by an Electronic Contract, communicated (as described in Section 3.4(c)), to the E-Vault Provider on or before the Closing 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) The fully executed original of the Contract or, with respect to Electronic Contracts, the Authoritative Copy of such Contract; 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;(ii) The Lien Certificate (when received), and otherwise such documents, if any, that United Auto keeps on file in accordance with its customary procedures indicating that the Financed Vehicle is owned by the Obligor and subject to the interest of United Auto as first lienholder or secured party (including any Lien Certificate received by United Auto or the Depositor), or, if such Lien Certificate has not yet been received, a copy of the application, receipt or other evidence of title therefor, showing United Auto as secured party.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) If the Indenture Trustee is acting as the Custodian pursuant to Section 9 of the Custodian Agreement, the Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to have assumed the obligations of the Custodian (except for any liabilities incurred by the predecessor Custodian) specified in the Custodian Agreement until such time as a successor Custodian has been appointed. Upon payment in full of any Receivable, the Servicer will notify the Custodian pursuant to a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Servicer (which certificate shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received in connection with such payments which are required to be deposited in the Lockbox Account or the Collection Account pursuant to Section 4.2 have been so deposited) and shall request delivery of the Receivable and Receivable File to the Servicer. From time to time as appropriate for servicing and enforcing any Receivable, the Custodian shall, upon written request of a Responsible Officer of the Servicer and delivery to the Custodian of a receipt signed by such

------

Responsible Officer, cause the original Receivable and the related Receivable File to be released to the Servicer. The Servicer's receipt of a Receivable and/or Receivable File shall obligate the Servicer to return the original Receivable and the related Receivable File to the Custodian when its need by the Servicer has ceased unless the Receivable is repurchased as described in Section 3.3, 4.2 or 4.7.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The parties agree that Electronic Contracts shall be "communicated" to the E-Vault Provider, as designated custodian of the Indenture Trustee, upon the transfer of the Authoritative Copy of such Electronic Contract to the UACC 2025-1 ABS Vault Partition and acceptance of the E-Vault Provider of such Authoritative Copy into the UACC 2025-1 ABS Vault Partition, and the E-Vault Provider shall thereafter maintain such Contract in the UACC 2025-1 ABS Vault Partition as within the meaning of Section 9-105(3) of the UCC for the purpose of the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders exercising control over such Contracts pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the Basic Documents.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) The parties agree that United Auto, solely in its capacity as Custodian, may convert any Receivable that is "tangible chattel paper" (within the meaning of the UCC as in effect in the State of New York) to "electronic chattel paper" (within the meaning of the UCC as in effect in the State of New York) and may convert a Receivable that is "electronic chattel paper" (within the meaning of the UCC as in effect in the State of New York) to "tangible chattel paper" (within the meaning of the UCC as in effect in the State of New York).

<u>Administration and Servicing of Receivables</u>

SECTION IV.1. <u>Duties of the Servicer and the Backup Service</u><u>r</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Servicer is hereby authorized to act as agent for the Trust and in such capacity shall manage, service, administer and make collections on the Receivables, and perform the other actions required by the Servicer under this Agreement. The Servicer agrees that its servicing of the Receivables shall be carried out in accordance with customary and usual procedures of institutions which service motor vehicle retail installment sales contracts and, to the extent more exacting, the degree of skill and attention that the Servicer exercises from time to time with respect to all comparable motor vehicle receivables that it services for itself or others. In performing such duties, so long as United Auto is the Servicer, it shall substantially comply with Servicing Policies and Procedures. The Servicer's duties shall include collecting and posting of all payments, responding to inquiries of Obligors on the Receivables, investigating delinquencies, sending payment coupons to Obligors, reporting any required tax information to Obligors, monitoring the collateral, complying with the terms of the Lockbox Agreement, accounting for collections and furnishing monthly and annual statements to the Indenture Trustee with respect to distributions, monitoring the status of Insurance Policies with respect to the Financed Vehicles and performing the other duties specified herein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The Servicer, or if United Auto is no longer the Servicer, United Auto, at the request of the Servicer, shall also administer and enforce all rights and responsibilities of the holder of the Receivables provided for in the Dealer Agreements (and shall maintain possession of the Dealer

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) As set forth in, and in accordance with, Section 9.3, in the event the Servicer is terminated or resigns, unless an entity other than the Backup Servicer is appointed as successor to the Servicer, the Backup Servicer shall be responsible for the Servicer's duties in this Agreement as if it were the Servicer; *provided*, that the Backup Servicer shall not be liable for the Servicer's breach of its obligations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) The Backup Servicer shall: (i) complete a data-mapping, and (ii) once per year, update or amend the data-mapping by effecting a data-map refresh upon receipt of written notice from the Servicer specifying updated or amended fields, if any, in (a) fields in the Monthly Tape

------

or (b) fields confirmed in the original data-mapping referred to in clause (i) above. Each data-mapping shall be at the cost of the Servicer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) The Servicer shall furnish to a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee as soon as reasonably practicable and in any event within two Business Days after any authorized officer of the Servicer obtains knowledge of, or receives a copy of (in the case of clause (iii)), which such notice the Indenture Trustee shall make available to the Noteholders: (i) the occurrence of any event of default or material breach by any party of its obligations under, or the termination of, the United Auto E-Vault Services Agreement, (ii) any changes to the E-Vault System or the UACC 2025-1 ABS Vault Partition made by the E-Vault Provider or the Custodian or (iii) copies of all notices received under the United Auto E-Vault Services Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) The Servicer shall not, (i) except in accordance with Section 4.2, make (or permit to make) any change to the Authoritative Copy of any Electronic Contract, and (ii) except as otherwise contemplated by the Basic Documents, cause any Receivable which is an Electronic Contract to be removed from the UACC 2025-1 ABS Vault Partition.

SECTION IV.2. <u>Collection of Receivable Payments; Modifications of Receivables; Lockbox Agreemen</u><u>ts</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Consistent with the standards, policies and procedures required by this Agreement, the Servicer (i) shall make reasonable efforts to collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Receivables as and when the same shall become due, and shall follow such collection procedures as it follows with respect to all comparable automobile receivables that it services for itself or others and otherwise act with respect to the Receivables, the Dealer Agreements, the Dealer Assignments, the Insurance Policies and the Other Conveyed Property in such manner as will, in the reasonable judgment of the Servicer, maximize the amount to be received by the Trust with respect thereto, and (ii) is authorized in its discretion to waive any prepayment charge, late payment charge or any other similar fees that may be collected in the ordinary course of servicing any Receivable. The Servicer shall allocate collections on or in respect of the Receivables between principal and interest in accordance with the Simple Interest Method and the standard of care required by Section 4.1.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The Servicer may grant extensions, rebates, deferrals, amendments, modifications or adjustments with respect to any Receivable in accordance with its Servicing Policies and Procedures; provided, however, that any such action by the Servicer is a Permitted Modification. If the Servicer grants a Permitted Modification that (i) extends a Receivable beyond the Collection Period immediately preceding the latest Final Scheduled Distribution Date or (ii) reduces the Amount Financed or APR with respect to any Receivable, it may repurchase such Receivable in the manner provided in <u>Section 4.7</u>. If the Servicer grants an extension, rebate, deferral, amendment, modification or adjustment with respect to any Receivable in accordance with its Servicing Policies and Procedures, but such action is not a Permitted Modification, the Servicer shall address such impermissible modification in such a manner as to allow the Trust to maintain its status as a fixed investment trust described in Treasury Regulation Section 301.7701-4(c) that is treated as a grantor trust under subtitle A, chapter 1, subchapter J, part I, subpart E of the Code, which may include repurchasing such Receivable in the manner provided in <u>Section 4.7</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The Servicer may grant payment extensions on, or other modifications or amendments to, a Receivable (in addition to those modifications permitted by Section 4.2(b)), in

------

accordance with its Servicing Policies and Procedures if the Servicer believes in good faith that such extension, modification or amendment (x) is necessary to avoid a default on such Receivable, (y) will maximize the amount to be received by the Trust with respect to such Receivable, and (z) is otherwise in the best interests of the Trust; *provided, however,* 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;(i) the aggregate period of all extensions on a Receivable shall not exceed eight months;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) in no event may a Receivable be extended beyond the Collection Period immediately preceding the latest Final Scheduled Distribution Date; 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;(iii) the Servicer shall not make a modification described above that would trigger a purchase requirement for the sole purpose of enabling the Servicer to purchase a Receivable.

If the Servicer fails to comply with the provisions of Section 4.2(c), the Servicer shall be required to purchase each Receivable affected thereby for the related Purchase Amount as of the close of business on the last day of the Collection Period that includes the 30<sup>th</sup> day after the Servicer becomes aware of such failure, by making such deposit in the manner specified in Section 3.3.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) For the avoidance of doubt, neither the Indenture Trustee nor the Backup Servicer shall have any obligation to approve or consent to, or monitor compliance of the Servicer with the satisfaction of the conditions related to, any such modification, waiver, amendment or deferral referred to herein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) The Servicer shall use its best efforts to notify or direct Obligors to make all payments on the Receivables, whether by check or by direct debit of the Obligor's bank account, to be made directly to one or more Lockbox Banks, acting as agent for the Trust pursuant to a Lockbox Agreement. The Servicer shall use its best efforts to notify or direct any Lockbox Bank to deposit all payments on the Receivables in the Lockbox Account no later than the Business Day after receipt, and to cause all amounts credited to the Lockbox Account on account of such payments to be transferred to the Collection Account no later than the second Business Day after receipt of such payments. The Servicer will deposit all payments on the Receivables received directly by the Servicer into the Lockbox Account promptly and no later than the second Business Day after receipt of such payments. The Lockbox Account shall be a demand deposit account held by the Lockbox Bank.

Prior to the Closing Date, the Servicer shall have notified each Obligor to make its payments on such Receivables directly to the Lockbox Bank (except in the case of Obligors that have already been making such payments to the Lockbox Bank), and shall have provided each such Obligor with remittance invoices in order to enable such Obligors to make such payments directly to the Lockbox Bank for deposit into the Lockbox Account. The Servicer will, not less often than every three months, notify those Obligors whose payments were not directed to the Lockbox Bank. If at any time, an Obligor's direct debit is rejected more than once, the Servicer shall notify such Obligor that it cannot make payment by direct debit for a period of six months and during such time must make payment to the Lockbox Bank by another method offered by the Servicer.

Notwithstanding any Lockbox Agreement, or any of the provisions of this Agreement relating to the Lockbox Agreement, the Servicer shall remain obligated and liable to the Trust, the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders for servicing and administering the Receivables and the Other Conveyed Property in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement without diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue thereof; *provided, however,* that the foregoing shall not apply to any Backup Servicer for so long as a Lockbox Bank is performing its obligations pursuant to the terms of a Lockbox Agreement.

In the event of the resignation or the termination of the Servicer, the successor Servicer shall either (x) assume all of the rights and obligations of the outgoing Servicer under the Lockbox Agreement subject to the terms hereof or (y) terminate its participation in the Lockbox Agreement and either (i) direct Obligors to make payments directly to such successor Servicer or (ii) enter into a replacement Lockbox Agreement on substantially the same terms as the existing Lockbox Agreement (subject to the rights of the Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 9.2). In the event that the successor Servicer assumes the outgoing Servicer's rights and obligations under the existing Lockbox Agreement, the successor Servicer shall be deemed to have assumed all of the outgoing Servicer's interest therein and to have replaced the outgoing Servicer as a party to each such Lockbox Agreement to the same extent as if such Lockbox Agreement had been assigned to the successor Servicer, except that the outgoing Servicer shall not thereby be relieved of any liability or obligations on the part of the outgoing Servicer to the Lockbox Bank under such Lockbox Agreement. The outgoing Servicer shall, upon request of the Indenture Trustee, but at the expense of the outgoing Servicer, deliver to the successor Servicer all documents and records relating to each such Lockbox Agreement and an accounting of amounts collected and held by the Lockbox Bank and otherwise use its best efforts to effect either (x) the orderly and efficient transfer of any Lockbox Agreement to the successor Servicer or (y) the entry by the successor Servicer into a replacement Lockbox Agreement. In the event that the identity of the Lockbox Bank changes in connection with the entry by the successor Servicer into a replacement Lockbox Agreement, the outgoing Servicer, at its expense, shall cause the Lockbox Bank to deliver to the Indenture Trustee or a successor Lockbox Bank all documents and records relating to the Receivables and all amounts held (or thereafter received) by the Lockbox Bank (together with an accounting of such amounts) and shall otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the lockbox arrangements and the Servicer shall notify the Obligors to make payments to the Lockbox established by the successor Servicer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) The Servicer shall remit all payments on or related to the Receivables directly by the Servicer to the Lockbox Bank as soon as practicable, but in no event later than the second Business Day after receipt thereof. The Servicer shall deposit such amounts into the Lockbox Account and transfer such amounts from the Lockbox Account to the Collection Account in accordance with Section 4.2(d).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) United Auto shall not cause or permit the substitution of the Financed Vehicle relating to a Receivable unless the Financed Vehicle originally financed under the related Receivable was the subject of an order by a court of competent jurisdiction directing United Auto to substitute another vehicle under the related Receivable.

------

SECTION IV.3. <u>Realization upon Receivables</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Consistent with the standards, policies and procedures required by this Agreement, the Servicer shall use its best efforts to repossess (or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of) and liquidate any Financed Vehicle securing a Receivable with respect to which the Servicer has determined that payments thereunder are not likely to be resumed, as soon as is practicable; *provided, however,* that the Servicer may elect not to repossess a Financed Vehicle if in its good faith judgment it determines that the proceeds ultimately recoverable with respect to such Receivable would be increased by forbearance. The Servicer is authorized to follow such customary practices and procedures as it shall deem necessary or advisable, consistent with the standard of care required by Section 4.1, which practices and procedures may include reasonable efforts to realize upon any recourse to Dealers, the sale of the related Financed Vehicle at public or private sale, the submission of claims under an Insurance Policy and other actions by the Servicer in order to realize upon such a Receivable. The foregoing is subject to the provision that, in any case in which the Financed Vehicle shall have suffered damage, the Servicer shall not expend funds in connection with any repair or towards the repossession of such Financed Vehicle unless it expects in its sole discretion, that such repair and/or repossession shall increase the proceeds of liquidation of the related Receivable by an amount greater than the amount of such expenses. All amounts received upon liquidation of a Financed Vehicle shall be remitted directly by the Servicer to the Lockbox Account (and remitted to the Collection Account pursuant to Section 4.2(e)) without deposit into any intervening account as soon as practicable, but in no event later than the Business Day after receipt thereof. The Servicer shall be entitled to recover all reasonable expenses incurred by it in the course of repossessing and liquidating a Financed Vehicle into cash proceeds, but only out of the cash proceeds of such Financed Vehicle, any deficiency obtained from the Obligor or any amounts received from the related Dealer, which amounts in reimbursement may be retained by the Servicer (and shall not be required to be deposited as provided in Section 4.2(e)) to the extent of such expenses. The Servicer shall pay on behalf of the Trust any personal property taxes assessed on repossessed Financed Vehicles. The Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement of any such tax from Net Liquidation Proceeds with respect to such Receivable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) If the Servicer, or if United Auto is no longer the Servicer, United Auto at the request of the Servicer, elects to commence a legal proceeding to enforce a Dealer Agreement or Dealer Assignment, the act of commencement shall be deemed to be an automatic assignment from the Trust to the Servicer, or to United Auto at the request of the Servicer, of the rights under such Dealer Agreement or Dealer Assignment for purposes of collection only. If, however, in any enforcement suit or legal proceeding it is held that the Servicer or United Auto, as appropriate, may not enforce a Dealer Agreement or Dealer Assignment on the grounds that it is not a real party in interest or a Person entitled to enforce the Dealer Agreement or Dealer Assignment, the Owner Trustee and/or the Indenture Trustee, at United Auto's expense, or the Depositor, at the Depositor's expense, shall take such steps as the Servicer deems reasonably necessary to enforce the Dealer Agreement or Dealer Assignment, including bringing suit in its name or the name of the Depositor or of the Trust and the Owner Trustee and/or the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders. All amounts recovered shall be remitted directly by the Servicer to the Lockbox Account as provided in Section 4.2(e).

------

SECTION IV.4. <u>Insura</u><u>nce</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Servicer shall require, in accordance with the Servicing Policies and Procedures, that each Financed Vehicle be insured by the related Obligor under the Insurance Policies referred to in Paragraph 26 of the Schedule of Representations and Warranties and shall monitor the status of such physical loss and damage insurance coverage thereafter, in accordance with the Servicing Policies and Procedures. Each Receivable requires the Obligor to maintain such physical loss and damage insurance, naming United Auto and its successors and assigns as additional insureds, and permits the holder of such Receivable to obtain physical loss and damage insurance at the expense of the Obligor if the Obligor fails to maintain such insurance. If the Servicer shall determine that an Obligor has failed to obtain or maintain a physical loss and damage Insurance Policy covering the related Financed Vehicle which satisfies the conditions set forth in clause (i)(a) of such Paragraph 26 (including during the repossession of such Financed Vehicle) the Servicer may enforce the rights of the holder of the Receivable under the Receivable to require the Obligor to obtain such physical loss and damage insurance in accordance with the Servicing Policies and Procedures. The Servicer may maintain Collateral Insurance in the event any Obligor fails to maintain physical loss and damage insurance with respect to the related Financed Vehicle. The Servicer shall cause itself, and may cause the Indenture Trustee, to be named as named insured under all policies of Collateral Insurance. Costs incurred by the Servicer in maintaining such Collateral Insurance shall be paid by the Servicer. The Servicer shall not obtain force-placed insurance in respect of the Receivables.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The Servicer may sue to enforce or collect upon the Insurance Policies, in its own name, if possible, or as agent of the Trust. If the Servicer elects to commence a legal proceeding to enforce an Insurance Policy, the act of commencement shall be deemed to be an automatic assignment of the rights of the Trust under such Insurance Policy to the Servicer for purposes of collection only. If, however, in any enforcement suit or legal proceeding it is held that the Servicer may not enforce an Insurance Policy on the grounds that it is not a real party in interest or a holder entitled to enforce the Insurance Policy, the Owner Trustee and/or the Indenture Trustee, at the Servicer's expense, or the Depositor, at the Depositor's expense, shall take such steps as the Servicer deems necessary to enforce such Insurance Policy, including bringing suit in its name or the name of the Trust and the Owner Trustee and/or the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders.

SECTION IV.5. <u>Maintenance of Security Interests in</u> <u>Vehicles</u>.

------

insufficient, without a notation on the related Financed Vehicle's certificate of title, or without fulfilling any additional administrative requirements under the laws of the State in which the Financed Vehicle is located, to perfect a security interest in the related Financed Vehicle in favor of the Trust, the Servicer hereby acknowledges and agrees that the designation of United Auto as the secured party on the Lien Certificate is in its capacity as Servicer as agent of the Trust.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Upon the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event, the Servicer shall take or cause to be taken such action as may, as set forth in the Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 12.2(h), be necessary to perfect or re-perfect the security interests in the Financed Vehicles securing the Receivables in the name of the Trust by amending the title documents of such Financed Vehicles or by such other reasonable means as may, as set forth in the Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Indenture Trustee, be necessary or prudent.

United Auto hereby agrees to pay all expenses related to such perfection or reperfection and to take all action necessary therefor. In no event shall the successor Servicer be required to expend funds in connection with this Section 4.5 that will not otherwise be reimbursed to it. To the extent that United Auto fails to reimburse the successor Servicer for any such amounts, such expense shall be reimbursed pursuant to Sections 5.7(b)(i) and 5.7(b)(xv). United Auto hereby appoints any successor Servicer as its attorney-in-fact to take any and all steps required to be performed by United Auto pursuant to this Section 4.5(b) (it being understood that and agreed that the successor Servicer shall have no obligation to take such steps with respect to all perfection or reperfection, except as pursuant to the Basic Documents to which it is a party and to which United Auto has paid all expenses), including execution of Lien Certificates or any other documents in the name and stead of United Auto, and any successor Servicer hereby accepts such appointment.

SECTION IV.6. <u>Covenants, Representations, and Warranties of Servicer and United Auto</u>. By its execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Servicer makes the following representations, warranties and covenants on which the Indenture Trustee relies in accepting the Receivables and on which the Indenture Trustee relies in authenticating the Notes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Servicer covenants as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) <u>Liens in Force</u>. The Financed Vehicle securing each Receivable shall not be released in whole or in part from the security interest granted by the Receivable, except upon payment in full of the Receivable or as otherwise contemplated herein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) <u>No Impairment</u>. The Servicer shall do nothing to impair the rights of the Depositor, the Indenture Trustee, the Trust or the Noteholders in the Trust Property except as otherwise expressly provided herein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) <u>No Amendments</u>. The Servicer shall not extend or otherwise amend the terms of any Receivable, except in accordance with Section 4.2.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) <u>Restrictions on Liens</u>. The Servicer shall not (A) create, incur or suffer to exist, or agree to create, incur or suffer to exist, or consent to cause or permit in the future (upon the happening of a contingency or otherwise) the creation, incurrence or existence of any Lien or restriction on transferability of the Receivables except for the Lien in favor of the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders and the restrictions on

------

transferability imposed by this Agreement or (B) sign or file under the Uniform Commercial Code of any jurisdiction any financing statement which names United Auto or the Servicer as a debtor, or sign any security agreement authorizing any secured party thereunder to file such financing statement, with respect to the Receivables, except in each case any such instrument solely securing the rights and preserving the Lien of the Indenture Trustee, for the benefit of the Noteholders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) <u>Schedule of Receivables</u>. The Servicer shall on or before the Closing Date and at any time thereafter, upon the request of the Indenture Trustee, deliver to the Indenture Trustee a copy of the Schedule of Receivables.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) <u>Changes in Servicing System.</u> The Servicer shall promptly notify the Backup Servicer in writing of any material changes which the Servicer makes to its servicing systems and provide sufficient detail with respect thereto to the Backup Servicer as the Backup Servicer may require.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) For so long as any Notes are Outstanding, United Auto represents, covenants and undertakes to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee, solely for the benefit of each Noteholder and, for the purposes of the EU Securitization Rules and U.K. Securitization Rules, each Affected Investor, as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) <u>Regulation RR Risk Retention</u>. On and after the Closing Date, to the extent required by Regulation RR, United Auto, as sponsor, (a) will cause the Depositor to retain an "eligible vertical interest" in each class of "ABS interests" of the Issuer (as such terms are used in Regulation RR) of not less than 5% of the initial principal amount of each class of Notes and not less than 5% of the nominal principal amount of the Certificates and (b) will not, and will not permit the Depositor to, sell, transfer or hedge that eligible vertical interest, except as permitted by Regulation RR.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) <u>EU Securitization Rules and U.K. Securitization Rules</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;A. United Auto will, as an "originator" (as such term is defined for purposes of each of the EU Securitization Regulation and the U.K. Securitization Rules, each as in effect as of the Closing Date), and in accordance with paragraph (B) below, retain, continually and on an on-going basis, a material net economic interest (the "<u>EU and U.K. Retained Interest</u>") in the securitization transaction described in the Offering Memorandum, of not less than 5%, in the form of the retention of not less than 5% of the nominal value of each of the tranches sold or transferred to investors, as provided in Article 6(3)(a) of the EU Securitization Regulation, SECN 5.2.8R(1)(a) of the FCA Rules and Article 6(3)(a) of Chapter 2 of the PRA Rules, each as in effect as of the Closing 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;B. United Auto will retain the EU and U.K. Retained Interest by means of (1) United Auto holding and retaining directly 100% of the equity interests in the Depositor and (2) the Depositor holding and retaining directly at least 5% of the initial principal amount of each class of Notes and at least 5% of the aggregate nominal principal amount of the Certificates;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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. United Auto directly owns 100% of the equity interests in the Depositor, and will not dispose of such interests;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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. United Auto will not change, or permit to be changed, the form of the EU and U.K. Retained Interest while the Notes are Outstanding, except, where applicable, under exceptional circumstances in accordance with the EU Securitization Rules and the U.K. Securitization Rules;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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. notwithstanding the arrangements described under "*U.S. Credit Risk Retention*" in the Offering Memorandum, neither the EU and U.K. Retained Interest nor United Auto's beneficial ownership interest in the Depositor will be subject to any credit risk mitigation or hedging, and neither United Auto nor the Depositor will sell, transfer or otherwise surrender all or part of the rights, benefits or obligations arising from the EU and U.K. Retained Interest, except to the extent permitted under the EU Securitization Rules and the U.K. Securitization Rules;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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. United Auto granted all the credits giving rise to the Receivables on the basis of sound and well-defined criteria and clearly established processes for approving, amending, renewing and financing those credits and has effective systems in place to apply those criteria and processes to ensure that credit-granting is based on a thorough assessment of each obligor's creditworthiness;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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. United Auto will provide ongoing confirmation of its continued compliance with its obligations set out in clauses A through F above: (1) in or concurrently with the delivery of each Servicer's Certificate, (2) promptly following the occurrence of any Event of Default and (3) from time to time upon any request by any Noteholder in connection with any material change in the performance of the Receivables or the Notes or any breach of the Basic Documents; and any such confirmation under clauses (2) or (3) of this paragraph shall be provided to the Indenture Trustee (and made available to Noteholders in accordance with Section 5.10(b) of this Agreement);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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. United Auto will promptly notify the Indenture Trustee of any violation of United Auto's obligations set out above or any change in the manner in which the EU and U.K. Retained Interest is held; and any such notification will be made available to Noteholders in accordance with Section 5.10(b) of this Agreement; 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;I. United Auto will provide (or cause the Servicer to provide), promptly after written request by any Affected Investor, directly or on behalf of such Affected Investor by the Indenture Trustee from time to time, such further information as any Affected Investor may reasonably request for purposes of (1) the EU Investor Requirements, or (2) U.K. Investor Requirements, as applicable; provided that, and only to the extent that, such information is in the possession or control of United Auto or the Servicer and United Auto (or the Servicer) can provide such information without breaching applicable confidentiality laws or contractual obligations binding on them; and provided further that United Auto

------

shall not be required to make available any EU Prescribed Reporting or U.K. Prescribed Reporting.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) <u>Schedule of Representations</u>. United Auto represents, warrants and covenants as of the Closing Date as to itself that the representations and warranties set forth on the Schedule of Representations attached hereto as Schedule B are true and correct.

SECTION IV.7. <u>Purchase of Receivables Upon Breach of Covenant or Modification</u>. Upon (a) the discovery by the Depositor, the Servicer or the Issuer, or (b) the receipt of written notice by or actual knowledge of a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee or Backup Servicer, of (i) a breach of any of the covenants set forth in Sections 1, 2 or 3 of the Custodian Agreement or in Sections 4.5(a) or 4.6 or (ii) the Servicer grants a modification as described in <u>Section 4.2(b)</u>, the party discovering or in receipt of notice of such breach or modification shall give prompt written notice to the others; *provided, however,* that the failure to give any such notice shall not affect any obligation of United Auto under this Section. As of the second Accounting Date following (or, at United Auto's election, the first Accounting Date following) its discovery or receipt of notice of (x) any breach of any covenant set forth in Sections 1, 2 or 3 of the Custodian Agreement or Sections 4.5(a) or 4.6 which materially and adversely affects the interests of the Noteholders in any Receivable (including any Defaulted Receivable) or the related Financed Vehicle or (y) modification described in <u>Section 4.2(b)</u>, United Auto (1) shall with respect to a breach described in clause (x) of this sentence, unless such breach shall have been cured in all material respects using commercially reasonable efforts, or (2) may with respect to a modification described in Section 4.2(b), purchase from the Trust the Receivable affected by such breach or modification and, on the related Determination Date, United Auto shall pay the related Purchase Amount; *provided, that*, upon the Depositor's, the Servicer's or the Issuer's discovery or receipt of such notice of a breach described in clause (x) above, United Auto shall promptly use commercially reasonable effort to cure such breach in all material respects. For any purchase due to a modification described in Section 4.2(b), such purchase shall be deemed to have occurred immediately before the modification, with the Purchase Amount determined as of that date and time. If United Auto fails to cause any such Receivable to be so purchased by remitting the related Purchase Amount to the Collection Account as required, United Auto shall promptly notify the Noteholders of such event and specify in such notice each Receivable that was not so repurchased as required. It is understood and agreed that the obligation of United Auto to purchase any Receivable (including any Defaulted Receivable) with respect to which such a breach has occurred and is continuing shall, if such obligation is fulfilled, constitute the sole remedy against United Auto for such breach available to the Noteholders, the Owner Trustee, the Backup Servicer or the Indenture Trustee; *provided, further*, *however,* that United Auto shall indemnify the Trust, the Backup Servicer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders from and against all costs, expenses, losses, damages, claims and liabilities, including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel, and including any reasonable legal fees, costs (including court costs), and expenses incurred in connection with any enforcement (including any action, claim, or suit brought) by a party pursuant to this paragraph of any indemnification or other obligation of United Auto, which may be asserted against or incurred by any of them as a result of claims arising out of the events or facts giving rise to such breach, and any legal fees, costs (including court costs), and expenses incurred in connection with any enforcement (including any action, claim, or suit brought) by the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee or the Backup Servicer of any indemnification or other obligation of United Auto. In the event United Auto fails to provide such indemnity payments due pursuant to this paragraph to the Owner Trustee, Indenture Trustee or Backup Servicer, the Owner Trustee, Indenture Trustee and Backup Servicer shall collect such indemnities amounts pursuant

------

to Section 7.2 of the Trust Agreement (with respect to the Owner Trustee), Section 5.7(b) hereof or Section 5.6 of the Indenture. Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, none of the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or the Backup Servicer shall have any duty to conduct an affirmative investigation as to the occurrence of any condition requiring the repurchase of any Receivable pursuant to this Section 4.7, the eligibility of any Receivable for purposes of this Agreement or, except as provided in this Section, to enforce the repurchase obligations of United Auto, unless a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee or the Backup Servicer, or a Responsible Officer (as such term is defined in the Trust Agreement) of the Owner Trustee, has received written notice of or has actual knowledge of such breach pursuant to the terms of the Basic Documents. For the avoidance of doubt, none of the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or the Backup Servicer shall be responsible for determining whether any breach of representations or warranty or document defect constitutes a breach or defect or the materiality thereof or any repurchase-related liabilities. This Section shall survive the termination or assignment of this Agreement and the earlier removal or resignation of United Auto, the Indenture Trustee and/or the Backup Servicer.

For the avoidance of doubt, United Auto does not intend to cause a breach of any of the covenants or grant any modifications described above that would trigger a purchase requirement for the sole purpose of enabling United Auto to purchase a Receivable.

SECTION IV.8. <u>Total Servicing Fee; Payment of Certain Expenses by Servicer</u>. On each Distribution Date, the Servicer shall be entitled to receive out of the Collection Account the Base Servicing Fee and any Supplemental Servicing Fee for the related Collection Period (together, the "<u>Servicing Fee</u>") pursuant to Section 5.7. The Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its activities under this Agreement (including taxes imposed on the Servicer, expenses incurred in connection with distributions and reports made by the Servicer to the Noteholders and all other fees and expenses of the Owner Trustee, the Backup Servicer, any successor Custodian or the Indenture Trustee, except taxes levied or assessed against the Trust, and claims against the Trust in respect of indemnification, which taxes and claims in respect of indemnification against the Trust are expressly stated to be for the account of United Auto). The Servicer shall be liable for the fees and expenses of the Owner Trustee, the Backup Servicer, the Indenture Trustee, any successor Custodian, the Lockbox Bank (and any fees under the Lockbox Agreement) and the Independent Accountants to the extent such fees and expenses have not been paid or reimbursed pursuant to Section 5.7 on any Distribution Date. The Servicer may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive or defer the Base Servicing Fee or any Supplemental Servicing Fee on any given Distribution Date and subsequently collect such waived or deferred Base Servicing Fee or Supplemental Servicing Fee on any following Distribution Date pursuant to Section 5.7. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Servicer shall not be United Auto, a successor to United Auto as Servicer including the Backup Servicer permitted by Section 9.3, shall not be liable for taxes levied or assessed against the Trust (except as specifically set forth in Section 8.3(d)) or claims against the Trust in respect of indemnification, or the fees and expenses referred to above, and United Auto shall remain liable therefor.

------

SECTION IV.9. <u>Servicer's Certificate</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) No later than noon Eastern time on each Determination Date, the Servicer shall deliver (facsimile or electronic delivery being acceptable) to the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Backup Servicer, and each Rating Agency a Servicer's Certificate executed by a Responsible Officer of the Servicer containing among other things: (i) all information necessary to enable the Indenture Trustee to make the distributions required by Sections 5.7(a), 5.7(b), 5.7(c), 5.7(d) and 5.7(e) hereof and Section 5.6 of the Indenture; (ii) a listing of all Purchased Receivables purchased by the Servicer as of the related Accounting Date, identifying the Receivables so purchased by the Servicer or sold by the Issuer, (iii) all information necessary to enable the Backup Servicer to perform its obligations under Section 4.13, (iv) confirmation of its continued compliance with its obligations set out in clauses A through F of Section 4.6(b)(ii) in accordance with Section 4.6(b)(ii)(G), and (v) all information necessary to enable the Indenture Trustee to send the statements to Noteholders required by Section 5.10. Receivables purchased by the Servicer or by the Depositor on the related Accounting Date and each Receivable which became a Defaulted Receivable or which was paid in full during the related Collection Period shall be identified by account number (as set forth in the Schedule of Receivables).

The Backup Servicer shall certify to the Indenture Trustee that it has verified the Servicer's Certificate in accordance with this Section and shall notify the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee of any discrepancies, in each case, on or before the fifth Business Day following the Distribution Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) [Reserved].

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) In the event that any Trust Account is maintained with an institution other than the Indenture Trustee (in the case of the Collection Account, the Note Distribution Account and the Reserve Account) or the Certificate Paying Agent (in the case of the Certificate Distribution Account), the Servicer shall instruct and cause such institution to make all deposits and distributions pursuant to paragraphs (a), (b), (c), (d) and/or (e) of this Section 5.7, as applicable, on the related Distribution Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) In the event that any withholding tax is imposed on the Trust's payment (or allocations of income) to a Noteholder, such tax shall reduce the amount otherwise distributable to the Noteholder in accordance with this Section. The Indenture Trustee is hereby authorized and directed to retain from amounts otherwise distributable to the Noteholders sufficient funds for the payment of any tax attributable to the Trust (but such authorization shall not prevent the Indenture Trustee from contesting any such tax in appropriate proceedings, and withholding payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings). The amount of any withholding tax imposed with respect to a Noteholder shall be treated as cash distributed to such Noteholder at the time it is withheld by the Trust and remitted to the appropriate taxing authority. If there is a possibility that withholding tax is payable with respect to a distribution (such as a distribution to a non-US Noteholder), the Indenture Trustee may in its sole discretion withhold such amounts in accordance with this clause (g). In the event that a Noteholder wishes to apply for a refund of any such withholding tax, the Indenture Trustee shall reasonably cooperate with such Noteholder in making such claim so long as such Noteholder agrees to reimburse the Indenture Trustee for any out-of-pocket expenses (including legal fees and expenses) incurred.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) Distributions required to be made to Noteholders on any Distribution Date shall be made to each Noteholder of record on the preceding Record Date either by (i) wire transfer, in immediately available funds, to the account of such Holder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Noteholder shall have provided to the Note Registrar appropriate written instructions at least five Business Days prior to such Distribution Date and such Holder's Notes in the aggregate evidence a denomination of not less than $1,000,000 (other than with respect to Notes held in book-entry form) or (ii) check mailed to such Noteholder at the address of such holder appearing in the Note Register. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the final distribution in respect of any Note (whether on the related Final Scheduled Distribution Date or otherwise) will be payable only upon presentation and surrender of such Note at the office or agency maintained for that purpose by the Note Registrar pursuant to Section 2.4 of the Indenture.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) Subject to Section 5.1 and this Section, monies received by the Indenture Trustee hereunder need not be segregated in any manner except to the extent required by law and may be deposited under such general conditions as may be prescribed by law, and the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any interest thereon.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j) Amounts properly received by the Certificateholders pursuant to this Agreement shall not be available to the Indenture Trustee or the Issuer for the purpose of making deposits to the Reserve Account, or making payments to the Noteholders, nor shall the Certificateholders be required to refund any amount properly received by them.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) On each Distribution Date, the Servicer shall instruct the Indenture Trustee (based on the information contained in the Servicer's Certificate delivered on the related Determination Date) to withdraw the Reserve Account Withdrawal Amount from the Reserve Account and deposit such amounts in the Collection Account to be included as Total Available Funds for that Distribution Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) If, on any Distribution Date, the amount on deposit in the Reserve Account, together with Available Funds, is sufficient to pay the sum of (i) all amounts due pursuant to clauses (i), (ii) and (xv) of Section 5.7(b), (ii) the aggregate Noteholders' Interest Distributable Amount for all Classes of Notes and (iii) the aggregate Note Balance of all Classes of Notes, then the Servicer will instruct the Indenture Trustee to withdraw the full amount on deposit in the Reserve Account and to use such withdrawn amount, together with Available Funds, to make such payments, with any excess to be deposited into the Certificate Distribution Account for distribution to the Certificateholders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Following (i) the occurrence of an Event of Default pursuant to Sections 5.1(i), 5.1(ii), 5.1(iv) or 5.1(v) of the Indenture or (ii) the receipt of Termination Proceeds pursuant to Section 10.1(b), all amounts on deposit in the Reserve Account shall be applied by the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the priorities set forth in Section 5.6 of the Indenture.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) The Certificateholders will be entitled, pro rata, to any amounts not needed to make payments on the Notes and on all other obligations to be paid under the Indenture and this Agreement, and to receive amounts remaining in the Reserve Account following the payment in full of the Notes and of all other amounts owing or to be distributed under this Agreement or the Indenture or the Trust Agreement to the Noteholders, the Servicer, the Backup Servicer, the

United Auto, the Backup Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of United Auto or Backup Servicer may rely in good faith on the written advice of counsel or on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising under this Agreement. The Servicer shall not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action that shall not be incidental to its obligations under this Agreement, and that in its opinion may involve it in any expense or liability.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The Backup Servicer shall not be liable for any obligation of the Servicer contained in this Agreement or for any errors of the Servicer contained in any Computer Tape, certificate or other data or document delivered to the Backup Servicer hereunder or on which the Backup Servicer must rely in order to perform its obligations hereunder, and the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Backup Servicer, the Depositor and the Noteholders shall look only to the Servicer to perform such obligations. The Backup Servicer, the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee and the Custodian shall have no responsibility and shall not be in default hereunder or incur any liability for any failure, error, malfunction or any delay in carrying out any of their respective duties under this Agreement if such failure or delay results from the Backup Servicer acting in accordance with information prepared or supplied by a Person other than the Backup Servicer (or contractual agents) or the failure of any such other Person to prepare or provide such information. The Backup Servicer shall have no responsibility, shall not be in default and shall incur no liability for (i) any act or failure to act of any third party (other than its contractual agents), including the Servicer or the Majority Noteholders, (ii) any inaccuracy or omission in a notice or communication received by the Backup Servicer from any third party (other than its contractual agents), (iii) the invalidity or unenforceability of any Receivable under applicable law, (iv) the breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made with respect to any Receivable, or (v) the acts or omissions of any successor Backup Servicer.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The parties expressly acknowledge and consent to Computershare Trust Company, N.A., acting in the possible dual capacity of Backup Servicer or successor Servicer and in the capacity as Indenture Trustee. Computershare Trust Company, N.A., may, in such dual or other capacity, discharge its separate functions fully, without hindrance or regard to conflict of interest principles or other breach of duties to the extent that any such conflict or breach arises from the performance by Computershare Trust Company, N.A., of express duties set forth in this Agreement in any of such capacities, all of which defenses, claims or assertions are hereby expressly waived by the other parties hereto and the Noteholders except in the case of willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence by Computershare Trust Company, N.A..

No delegation or sub-contracting by the Servicer of its duties herein in the manner described in this Section 8.6 shall relieve the Servicer of its responsibility with respect to such duties. All compensation payable to a subservicer under a subservicing or sub-contracting agreement shall be payable by the Servicer from its servicing compensation or otherwise from its own funds.

SECTION VIII.7. <u>Servicer and Backup Servicer Not to Resign</u><u>»</u>. Subject to the provisions of Section 8.4, neither the Servicer nor the Backup Servicer shall resign from the obligations and duties imposed on it by this Agreement as Servicer or Backup Servicer except upon a determination that the performance of its duties under this Agreement is no longer permissible by law. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Servicer or Backup Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered and acceptable to the Indenture Trustee. No resignation of the Servicer shall become effective until the Backup Servicer or a Permitted Successor shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the Servicer. No resignation of the Backup Servicer shall become effective until a Permitted Successor shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the Backup Servicer; *provided, however,* that (i) in the event a successor Backup Servicer is not appointed within 60 days after the Backup Servicer has given notice of its resignation and has provided the Opinion of Counsel required by this Section, the Backup Servicer may petition a court for its removal (with all reasonable fees, costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees and expenses) incurred in connection with such petition to be paid by the Issuer pursuant to Section 5.7(b) of this Agreement or Section 5.6 of the Indenture, as applicable, and to the extent not paid thereby, by the initial Servicer), and (ii) if Computershare Trust Company, N.A. resigns as Indenture Trustee under the Indenture, it will no longer be the Backup Servicer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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 Responsible Officer of the Backup Servicer shall not be imputed with any knowledge of, or information possessed or obtained by, another Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee or any other Affiliate, other business line or division of Computershare Trust Company, N.A. and vice versa.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) Except to the extent expressly set forth in the Basic Documents, the Backup Servicer shall not be held responsible for the acts or omissions of the Depositor, Servicer, Issuer, Indenture Trustee, Owner Trustee, or any other party to the Basic Documents, and may assume performance of such parties absent written notice or actual knowledge of a Responsible Officer to the contrary.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) No discretionary, permissive right, nor privilege of the Backup Servicer shall be deemed or construed as a duty or obligation. The duties and obligations of the Backup Servicer shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement and no implied covenants or obligations (including any implied duty to enforce another party's obligations if the Transaction Documents have not assigned such responsibility to a party) shall be read into this Agreement against the Backup Servicer; and in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Backup Servicer may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to it and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement; however, the Backup Servicer shall examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform on their face to the requirements of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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 Backup Servicer shall be entitled to each protection, privilege or indemnity afforded to the Indenture Trustee under Sections 3.7, 6.1(c), 6.1(f) (except for any express costs and expenses related to the performance of the Backup Servicer's duties under this Agreement, such as transition expenses which exceed the maximum set forth in Sections 4.5(c)), 6.1(i), 6.1(k), 6.2(a), 6.2(b), 6.2(c), 6.2(e), 6.2(g), 6.2(j), 6.2(l), 6.2(m), 6.2(n), 6.2(o) and 6.2(p) of the Indenture.

SECTION IX.3. <u>Appointment of Successor</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) On and after the time the Servicer receives a notice of termination pursuant to Section 9.2 or upon the resignation of the Servicer pursuant to Section 8.7, the Backup Servicer (unless the Majority Noteholders shall have exercised its option pursuant to Section 9.3(b) to appoint an alternate successor Servicer) shall be the successor in all respects to the Servicer in its capacity as servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for in this Agreement and the other Basic Documents, and shall be subject to all the rights, responsibilities, restrictions, duties, liabilities and termination provisions relating thereto placed on the Servicer by the terms and provisions of this Agreement except as otherwise stated herein. The Indenture Trustee and such successor Servicer shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession. If a successor Servicer is acting as Servicer hereunder, it shall be subject to termination under Section 9.2 upon the occurrence of any Servicer Termination Event applicable to it as Servicer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The Indenture Trustee (acting at the written direction of the Majority Noteholders) may exercise at any time its right to appoint as Backup Servicer or as successor to the Servicer a Person other than the Person serving as Backup Servicer at the time, and shall have no liability to United Auto, the Depositor, the Person then serving as Backup Servicer, any Noteholders or any other Person if it does so. Notwithstanding the above, if the Backup Servicer shall be legally unable or unwilling to act as successor Servicer pursuant to Section 9.3(a), then the Backup Servicer, the Indenture Trustee or the Majority Noteholders may petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a Permitted Successor as the successor to the Servicer. Pending appointment pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Backup Servicer shall act as successor Servicer unless it is legally unable to do so, in which event the outgoing Servicer shall continue to act as Servicer until a successor has been appointed and accepted such appointment. Subject to Section 8.7, no provision of this Agreement shall be construed as relieving the Backup Servicer of its obligation to succeed as successor Servicer upon the termination of the Servicer pursuant to Section 9.2 or the resignation of the Servicer pursuant to Section 8.7. If upon the termination of the Servicer pursuant to Section 9.2 or the resignation of the Servicer pursuant to Section 8.7, the Majority Noteholders direct the Indenture Trustee to appoint a successor Servicer other than the Backup Servicer, the Backup Servicer shall not be relieved of its duties as Backup Servicer hereunder. In the event any successor Servicer is terminated pursuant to Section 9.2, the Indenture Trustee (acting at the written direction of the Majority Noteholders), shall appoint a Permitted Successor as successor Servicer or may petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a Person that it determines is competent to perform the duties of the Servicer hereunder as successor Servicer. Pending appointment pursuant to the preceding sentence, the outgoing Servicer shall continue to act as Servicer until a successor has been appointed and accepted such appointment.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Any successor Servicer shall be entitled to such compensation (whether payable out of the Collection Account or otherwise) as the Servicer would have been entitled to under this Agreement if the Servicer had not resigned or been terminated hereunder or such other compensation as set forth herein. If any successor Servicer is appointed, including as a result of the Backup Servicer's refusal (in breach of the terms of this Agreement) to act as Servicer although it is legally able to do so, the Depositor and such successor Servicer may agree on reasonable additional compensation to be paid to such successor Servicer; *provided*, *however*, it being understood and agreed that the Depositor shall give prior notice to the Backup Servicer with respect to the appointment of such successor and the payment of additional compensation, if any. The Indenture Trustee shall have the right to agree to compensation of a successor Servicer in excess of that permitted to the Servicer hereunder with the consent of the Majority Noteholders. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Indenture Trustee be liable for any Servicing Fee or for any differential between the amount of the Servicing Fee paid to the original servicer and the amount necessary to induce any successor servicer to act as successor servicer hereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the successor Servicer is authorized to accept and rely on all of the accounting records (including computer records) and work of the prior Servicer relating to the Receivables (collectively, the "<u>Predecessor Servicer Work Product</u>") without any audit or other examination thereof, and the successor Servicer shall have no duty, responsibility, obligation or liability for the acts and omissions of the prior Servicer. If any error, inaccuracy, omission or incorrect or non-standard practice or procedure (collectively, "<u>Errors</u>") exist in any Predecessor Servicer Work Product and such Errors make it materially more difficult to service or should cause or materially contribute to the successor Servicer making or continuing any Errors (collectively, "<u>Continuing Errors</u>"), the successor Servicer shall have no duty, responsibility, obligation or liability for such Continuing Errors; *provided, however,* that the successor Servicer agrees to use its best efforts to prevent further Continuing Errors. In the event that the successor Servicer has actual knowledge or has received written notice of Errors or Continuing Errors, it shall, with the prior consent of the Indenture Trustee (acting at the written direction of the Majority Noteholders), use its best efforts to reconstruct and reconcile such data as is commercially reasonable to correct such Errors and Continuing Errors and to prevent future Continuing Errors. The successor Servicer shall be entitled to recover its costs thereby expended from funds available of such purpose in accordance with Section 5.7(b).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) Any successor Servicer (including the Backup Servicer) shall have (i) no liability with respect to any obligation which was required to be performed by the predecessor Servicer prior to the date that the successor Servicer becomes the Servicer or any claim of a third party based on any alleged action or inaction of the predecessor Servicer, (ii) no obligation to perform any repurchase or advancing obligations, if any, of the Servicer, (iii) no obligation to pay any taxes required to be paid by the Servicer, (iv) no obligation to pay any of the fees and expenses of any other party involved in this transaction and (v) no liability or obligation with respect to any Servicer indemnification obligations of any prior Servicer including the original Servicer. The indemnification obligations of the Backup Servicer upon becoming the successor Servicer are expressly limited to those instances of negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of the Backup Servicer in its role as successor Servicer. Any successor Servicer appointed pursuant to this Section 9.3 (other than the Backup Servicer) must be a Permitted Successor.

SECTION IX.4. <u>Notification to Noteholders</u>. Upon any termination of, or appointment of a successor to, the Servicer or the Backup Servicer, the Indenture Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to each Noteholder and to the Seller (who shall promptly deliver such notice to the Rating Agencies).

SECTION IX.5. <u>Waiver of Past Defaults</u>. The Majority Noteholders may, on behalf of all Noteholders, waive any default by the Servicer in the performance of its obligations hereunder and its consequences. Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any Servicer Termination Event arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement and the Basic Documents. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereto.

SECTION IX.6. <u>Backup Servicer Termination</u>. Prior to an appointment as successor Servicer, the Indenture Trustee may, in its discretion, or shall, at the direction of the Majority Noteholders, (a) terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Backup Servicer under this Agreement in the event of a breach of any of the representations or warranties, covenants or obligations of the Backup Servicer contained in this Agreement or (b) in its sole discretion, without cause upon not less than 30 days' notice, terminate the rights and obligations of the Backup Servicer. The terminated Backup Servicer agrees to cooperate with any successor Backup Servicer appointed by the Indenture Trustee (acting at the written direction of the Majority Noteholders) in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the terminated Backup Servicer under this Agreement, including the delivery to the successor Backup Servicer of all documents, records and electronic information related to the Receivables in the possession of the Backup Servicer. Expenses incurred by the Backup Servicer in respect of the foregoing sentence shall be reimbursed from the funds available for such purpose in accordance with Section 5.7(b).

To exercise such option, the Servicer shall deposit pursuant to Section 5.6 in the Collection Account an amount equal to the amount necessary to pay the sum of any amounts owed by the Trust to the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee, the Backup Servicer, any successor Custodian, the Owner Trustee and the Lockbox Bank hereunder and under the Indenture and the full amount of principal and interest then due and payable on the Notes, plus the appraised value of any other property held by the Trust (such value to be determined by the Servicer, or if the Indenture Trustee has received written notice that there is a material error in the Servicer's calculation, by an appraiser mutually agreed upon by the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee), and shall succeed to all interests in and to the Trust.

if to you, to:

your address shown at the top of this Agreement, or any other address the Company or you designate by written notice to the other.

**15.** **Intended Third-Party Beneficiaries**. The Releasees are intended third-party beneficiaries of this Agreement.

**16.** **Successors and Assigns**. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors, assigns, heirs, and representatives; provided, however, that you may not assign, transfer, or delegate your rights or obligations under this Agreement and any attempt to do so shall be invalid.

**17.** **Counterparts**. This Agreement may be signed and delivered (including by fax or electronically) in one or more parts. Each of these parts shall constitute an original document, but all of them together shall be considered the same Agreement.

**18.** **Severability**. The Parties want this Agreement enforced to the fullest extent allowed by law. If a court with jurisdiction judges any provision of this Agreement invalid, prohibited, or unenforceable for any reason, that provision shall be revised so that it is not invalid, prohibited, or unenforceable. If revision is not possible, such provision shall be considered ineffective, without invalidating the rest of this Agreement or making the Agreement unenforceable.

**19.** **Governing Law**. This Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted under the laws of the State of New York, without regard to principles of conflicts of laws.

**20.** **Jurisdiction and Venue**. The Company and the Employee hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submit, for themselves and their property, to the jurisdiction of any state or federal court located in New York County, New York. The Company and Employee irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

**21.** **Merger Clause; Amendment; Headings**. This Agreement (including Exhibit A), together with the PIIA, is the entire, final agreement of the Parties relating to the Agreement's subject. The Agreement overrides and replaces any other oral and written statements. In entering into this Agreement, you have not relied on any representations other than those set forth in this Agreement. This Agreement may only be changed, terminated, or waived by a writing signed by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company and you. The captions and headings in this Agreement are for convenience only, and do not control the scope or content of any provision of this Agreement.

**22.** **Neutral Interpretation**. This Agreement shall be interpreted in a neutral manner, and not more strongly for or against either Party based on the Party that drafted this Agreement.

**23.** **Section 409A of the Code**. This Agreement is intended, to the greatest extent permitted under law, to comply with the short-term deferral exemption and the separation pay exemption provided in Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations and other interpretative guidance issued thereunder ("Section 409A") such that no benefits or payments under this Agreement are subject to Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the timing of any payments under this Agreement shall be made consistent with such exemption. To the extent applicable, this Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with Section 409A, including without limitation any such regulations or other guidance that may be issued after the Separation Date. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that the Company determines that any amounts payable hereunder may be subject to Section 409A, the Company may, to the extent permitted under Section 409A

------

Exhibit 10.8

cooperate in good faith to adopt such amendments to this Agreement or adopt other appropriate policies and procedures, including amendments and policies with retroactive effect, that the Company determines are necessary or appropriate to avoid the imposition of taxes under Section 409A; provided however, that this paragraph shall not create an obligation on the part of the Company to adopt any such amendment, policy or procedure or take any such other action, nor shall the Company have any liability for failing to do so. To the extent that any reimbursements payable pursuant to this Agreement are subject to the provisions of Section 409A, such reimbursements shall be paid to Employee no later than December 31 of the year following the year in which the expense was incurred, the amount of expenses reimbursed in one year shall not affect the amount eligible for reimbursement in any subsequent year, and Employee's right to reimbursement under this Agreement shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit. For purposes of Section 409A (including, without limitation, for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(2)(iii)), Employee's right to receive any installment payments under this Agreement shall be treated as a right to receive a series of separate payments and, accordingly, each such installment payment shall at all times be considered a separate and distinct payment. To the extent required to avoid accelerated taxation and/or tax penalties under Section 409A, amounts that would otherwise be payable and benefits that would otherwise be provided pursuant to this Agreement during the six-month period immediately following the Separation Date shall instead be paid in a lump sum on the first day of the seventh month following the Separation Date (or upon Employee's death, if earlier).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**24.** **WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL**. NO PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY ASSIGNEE, SUCCESSOR, HEIR, OR PERSONAL REPRESENTATIVE OF A PARTY SHALL SEEK A JURY TRIAL IN ANY LAWSUIT, PROCEEDING, COUNTERCLAIM, OR ANY OTHER LITIGATION PROCEDURE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR THE DEALINGS OR RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE PARTIES. NO PARTY SHALL SEEK TO CONSOLIDATE ANY SUCH ACTION, IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL HAS BEEN WAIVED, WITH ANY OTHER ACTION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT OR HAS NOT BEEN WAIVED. THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION HAVE BEEN FULLY DISCUSSED BY THE PARTIES HERETO, AND THESE PROVISIONS SHALL BE SUBJECT TO NO EXCEPTIONS. NEITHER PARTY HAS IN ANY WAY AGREED WITH OR REPRESENTED TO THE OTHER PARTY THAT THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION WILL NOT BE FULLY ENFORCED IN ALL SITUATIONS.

**25.** **ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF FULL UNDERSTANDING**. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a.THAT YOU HAVE FULLY READ, UNDERSTAND, AND VOLUNTARILY ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT;
