       13.           Section 409A.  The intent of the parties is that payments and benefits under this Agreement comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Section 409A”), to the extent subject thereto, and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, this Agreement shall be interpreted and be administered to be in compliance therewith.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, to the extent required in order to avoid accelerated taxation and/or tax penalties under Section 409A, the Executive shall not be considered to have terminated employment with the Company and its affiliates for purposes of this Agreement, and no payment shall be due to the Executive hereunder as a result of such termination, until the Executive would be considered to have incurred a “separation from service” from the Company and its affiliates within the meaning of Section 409A.  Any payments described in this Agreement that are due within the “short-term deferral period” as defined in Section 409A shall not be treated as deferred compensation unless applicable law requires otherwise.  Each amount to be paid or benefit to be provided to the Executive pursuant to this Agreement that constitutes deferred compensation subject to Section 409A shall be construed as a separate identified payment for purposes of Section 409A.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, to the extent that any payments to be made upon the Executive’s separation from service would result in the imposition of any individual penalty tax imposed under Section 409A, the payment shall instead be made on the first business day after the earlier of (i) the date that is six (6) months following such separation from service and (ii) the date of Executive's death.  Neither the Company nor any of its affiliates makes any representations that any or all of the payments described in this Agreement will be exempt from or comply with Section 409A and none of them make any undertaking to preclude Section 409A from applying to any such payment, and the Executive hereby releases the Company and its affiliates from any liability in respect thereof.

14.           The Company acknowledges that the Executive has agreed to accept the Severance Amount in Monthly Payments rather than in a lump sum in order to accommodate the Company’s cash flow needs, and accordingly agrees that under no condition shall the Company have the right to set off the amounts due to the Executive under the Severance Package against any claims against the Executive by the Company.

 

15.           (a)  Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, the Company shall execute and deliver to Executive’s counsel, Stark & Stark, P.C. (the “Escrow Agent”), a Confession of Judgment in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit E.  The Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the Confession of Judgment will be held in escrow by the Escrow Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and will not be entered and/or filed at any time other than in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  In the event the Company is unable to make a Monthly Payment under this Agreement, the Company will provide Executive with a signed Affidavit stating that the Company is unable to make payroll for that particular period and, accordingly, is unable to make the Monthly Payment (a “Cash Shortfall Notice”).  In the event that (i) the Company fails to make any two (2) consecutive Monthly Payments and the Executive has received a Cash Shortfall Notice for that particular period (the “Cash Shortfall Event”), or (ii) the Company fails to make any Monthly Payment and the Executive has not received a Cash Shortfall Notice for that particular period (either (i) or (ii) are hereinfter referred to as an “Event”), and then only after notice to the Company and the expiration of the Cure Period as set forth in paragraph 15(b) herein, the Escrow Agent may enter and/or file the Confession of Judgment.

 

(b)  Upon the occurrence of an Event, Executive must give Company ten (10) business days’ written notice to cure the Event (the “Cure Period”).  If Company does not cure the Event after the expiration of the Cure Period, then at such time, the Escrow Agent may release the Confession of Judgment and Executive may enter and/or file same.

 

       16.           No provision in this Agreement may be amended unless such amendment is agreed to in writing and signed by both Executive and an authorized officer of the Company.  No waiver by either Party of any breach by the other Party of any condition or provision contained in this Agreement to be performed by such other Party shall be deemed a waiver of a similar or dissimilar condition or provision at the same or any prior or subsequent time.  Any waiver must be in writing and signed by the Party to be charged with the waiver.  No delay by either Party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof.

 

       17.           In the event that any provision or portion of this Agreement shall be determined to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, in whole or in part, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall be unaffected thereby and shall remain in full force and effect to the fullest extent permitted by law.

 

       18.           This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of New York, without reference to principles of conflict of laws.  The Parties agree that the appropriate forum and venue of any disputes arising out of this Agreement shall be the State or Federal Courts located in the Southern District of New York, New York, and each of the Parties hereto submits to the personal jurisdiction of any such Court.  The foregoing shall not limit the right of any Party to obtain execution of judgment in any other jurisdiction.

 

19.           Any notice given to either Party shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given when delivered either personally, by fax, e-mail, or by nationally recognized overnight courier service (such as Federal Express), duly addressed to the Party concerned at the address indicated below or to such changed address as the Party may subsequently give notice of.

and such legends or endorsements placed thereon as may, consistently herewith, be determined by the officers executing the Notes,
as evidenced by their execution of the Notes. Any portion of the text of any Note may be set forth on the reverse thereof, with
an appropriate reference thereto on the face of the Note.

 

Each Note shall be dated
the date of its authentication. The terms of the Notes set forth in Exhibit A hereto are part of the terms of this Indenture.

 

SECTION 2.2 Execution,
Authentication and Delivery. The Notes shall be executed on behalf of the Issuer by any of its Authorized Officers. The signature
of any such Authorized Officer on the Notes may be manual or facsimile.

 

Notes bearing the manual
or facsimile signature of individuals who were at any time Authorized Officers of the Issuer shall bind the Issuer, notwithstanding
that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Notes or
did not hold such offices at the date of such Notes.

 

The Indenture Trustee
shall, upon Issuer Order, authenticate and deliver Class A-1 Notes for original issue in an Initial Note Balance of $152,000,000,
Class A-2 Notes for original issue in an Initial Note Balance of $135,000,000, Class A-3 Notes for original issue in an Initial

of its authorized signatories, and such certificate upon any Note shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such
Note has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder.

 

	 	3	Indenture (USAA 2016-1)

    	 

    	

    

SECTION 2.3 Temporary
Notes. Pending the preparation of Definitive Notes, the Issuer may execute, and upon receipt of an Issuer Order, the Indenture
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Notes which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise
produced, substantially of the tenor of the Definitive Notes in lieu of which they are issued and with such variations not inconsistent
with the terms of this Indenture as the officers executing such Notes may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Notes.

 

If temporary Notes are
issued, the Issuer shall cause Definitive Notes to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of Definitive
Notes, the temporary Notes shall be exchangeable for Definitive Notes upon surrender of the temporary Notes at the office or agency
of the Issuer to be maintained as provided in Section 3.2, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation
of any one or more temporary Notes, the Issuer shall execute and the Indenture Trustee upon Issuer Order shall authenticate and
deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of Definitive Notes of authorized denominations. Until so exchanged, the temporary
Notes shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as Definitive Notes.

 

SECTION 2.4 Registration
of Transfer and Exchange. The Issuer shall cause to be kept a register (the “Note Register”) in which, subject
to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Issuer shall provide for the registration of Notes and the registration
of transfers of Notes. The Indenture Trustee shall initially be “Note Registrar” for the purpose of registering Notes
and transfers of Notes as herein provided. Upon any resignation of any Note Registrar, the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor
or, if it elects not to make such an appointment, assume the duties of Note Registrar.

 

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

 

Upon surrender for registration
of transfer of any Note at the office or agency of the Issuer to be maintained as provided in Section 3.2, if the requirements
of Section 8-401 of the UCC and this Indenture are met, the Issuer shall execute and upon its written request the Indenture Trustee
shall authenticate and the Noteholder shall obtain from the Indenture Trustee, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees,
one or more new Notes, in any authorized denominations, of the same Class and a like aggregate outstanding principal amount.

 

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

 

	 	4	Indenture (USAA 2016-1)

    	 

    	

    

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

 

Every Note presented
or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be (i) duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by, a written instrument
of transfer in form and substance satisfactory to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee duly executed by the Noteholder thereof
or its attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing, with such signature guaranteed by an “eligible grantor institution”
meeting the requirements of the Note Registrar which requirements include membership or participation in a Securities Transfer
Agents Medallion Program (“Stamp”) or such other “signature guarantee program” as may be determined
by the Note Registrar in addition to, or in substitution for, Stamp, all in accordance with the Exchange Act and (ii) accompanied
by such other documents as the Indenture Trustee may require.

 

No service charge shall
be made to a Noteholder for any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient
to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of
Notes, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 2.3 or Section 9.6 not involving any transfer.

 

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

 

SECTION 2.5 Mutilated,
Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes. If (i) any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Indenture Trustee, or the Indenture Trustee
receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, and (ii) there is delivered to the Indenture
Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by it to hold the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee harmless, then, in the
absence of written notice to the Issuer, the Note Registrar and a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee that such Note has
been acquired by a “protected purchaser” (as contemplated by Article 8 of the UCC), and provided, that the requirements
of Section 8-405 of the UCC are met, the Issuer shall execute and upon its written request the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate
and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a replacement Note; provided,
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 upon delivery of the
security or indemnity herein required 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” (as contemplated by Article 8 of the UCC) 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” (as contemplated by Article 8 of the UCC), and shall be entitled to recover upon the security
or

 

	 	5	Indenture (USAA 2016-1)

    	 

    	

    

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 2.5, the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee may require the payment by the Noteholder
of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other reasonable
expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Indenture Trustee or the Note Registrar) connected therewith.

 

Every replacement Note
issued pursuant to this Section 2.5 in replacement of any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall constitute an
original additional contractual obligation of the Issuer, 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 2.5 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 2.6 Persons
Deemed Owners. 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 day of determination)
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 neither the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee nor any agent of
the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

 

SECTION 2.7 Payment
of Principal and Interest; Defaulted Interest. (a) Each Note shall accrue interest at its respective Interest Rate, and such
interest shall be payable on each Payment Date as specified therein, subject to Sections 3.1, 8.2 and 11.12.
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 Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) is registered
on the Record Date. On each Payment Date, distributions to be made with respect to interest on and principal of the Book-Entry
Notes will be paid to the registered Noteholder by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account designated by the
nominee of the Clearing Agency (initially, such nominee will be Cede & Co.). Distributions to be made with respect to interest
on and principal of the Definitive Notes will be paid to the Registered Noteholder (i) if such Noteholder has provided to the Note
Register appropriate written instructions at least five (5) Business Days prior to such Payment Date, by wire transfer in immediately
available funds to the account of such Noteholder or otherwise (ii) by cashier’s check mailed first class mail, postage prepaid,
to such registered Noteholder’s address as it appears on the Note Register on the related Record Date. However, the final
installment of principal (whether payable by wire transfer or check) of each Note on a Payment Date, the Redemption Date or the
applicable Final Scheduled Payment Date will be payable as provided below. The funds represented by any such checks returned undelivered
shall be held in accordance with Section 3.3.

 

	 	6	Indenture (USAA 2016-1)

    	 

    	

    

(b) The principal of
each Note shall be payable in installments on each Payment Date as provided in Section 8.2. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the entire unpaid Note Balance and all accrued interest thereon shall be due and payable, if not previously paid, on the earlier
of (i) the date on which an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, if the Indenture Trustee or the Holders of
a majority of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class, have declared the Notes to be immediately due and payable in the manner
provided in Section 5.2 and (ii) with respect to any Class of Notes, on the Final Scheduled Payment Date for that Class.
All principal payments on each Class of Notes shall be made pro rata to the Noteholders of such Class entitled thereto. 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 Payment
Date on which Indenture Trustee expects that the final installment of principal of and interest on such Note will be paid. Such
notice shall be transmitted prior to such final Payment 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.

 

(c) If the Issuer defaults
on a payment of interest on any Class of Notes, the Issuer shall pay defaulted interest (plus interest on such defaulted interest
to the extent lawful at the applicable Interest Rate for such Class of Notes), which shall be due and payable on the Payment Date
following such default. The Issuer shall pay such defaulted interest to the Persons who are Noteholders on the Record Date for
such following Payment Date.

 

SECTION 2.8 Cancellation.
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 cancelled 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 cancelled by the Indenture
Trustee. No Notes shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Notes cancelled as provided in this Section, except
as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All cancelled 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 direct by an Issuer Order that
they be destroyed or returned to it; provided, that such Issuer Order is timely and that such Notes have not been previously
disposed of by the Indenture Trustee.

 

SECTION 2.9 Release
of Collateral. Subject to Section 11.1, the Indenture Trustee shall release property from the lien of this Indenture
only upon receipt of an Issuer Request accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate, an Opinion of Counsel, and, unless the Notes
have been redeemed in accordance with Section 10.1, Independent Certificates in accordance with TIA Sections 314(c) and
314(d)(1) or an Opinion of Counsel in lieu of such Independent Certificates to the effect that the TIA does not require any such
Independent Certificates. If the Commission shall issue an exemptive order under TIA Section 304(d) modifying the Issuer’s
obligations under TIA Sections 314(c) and 314(d)(1), subject to Section 11.1 and the terms of the Transaction Documents,
the Indenture Trustee shall release property from the lien of this Indenture in accordance with the conditions and procedures set
forth in such exemptive order.

 

	 	7	Indenture (USAA 2016-1)

    	 

    	

    

SECTION 2.10 Book-Entry
Notes. The Notes, upon original issuance, will be issued in the form of typewritten notes representing the Book-Entry Notes,
to be delivered to the Indenture Trustee, as agent for DTC, the initial Clearing Agency, by, or on behalf of, the Issuer. One fully
registered Note shall be issued with respect to each $500 million in principal amount of each Class of Notes and any such lesser
amount. Such Notes shall initially be registered on the Note Register in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee of the initial
Clearing Agency, and no Note Owner shall receive a Definitive Note representing such Note Owner’s interest in such Note,
except as provided in Section 2.12. Unless and until definitive, fully registered Notes (the “Definitive Notes”)
have been issued to Note Owners pursuant to Section 2.12:

 

(a) the provisions of
this Section shall be in full force and effect;

 

(b) 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 Notes and the giving of instructions or directions hereunder) as the sole Noteholder,
and shall have no obligation to the Note Owners;

 

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

 

(d) 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
or among such Note Owners and the Clearing Agency and/or the Clearing Agency Participants or Persons acting through Clearing Agency
Participants. Pursuant to the Note Depository Agreement, 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 (and neither the Indenture Trustee nor the Note
Registrar shall have liability or responsibility thereof); and

 

(e) whenever this Indenture
requires or permits actions to be taken based upon instructions or directions of Noteholders evidencing a specified percentage
of the Outstanding Note Balance, 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 or Persons acting through Clearing Agency
Participants owning or representing, respectively, such required percentage of the beneficial interest in the Notes and has delivered
such instructions to the Indenture Trustee.

 

SECTION 2.11 Notices
to Clearing Agency. 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 2.12 Definitive
Notes. If (a) the Administrator advises the Indenture Trustee in writing that the Clearing Agency is no longer willing or able
to properly discharge its responsibilities with respect to the Notes, and the Administrator or the Indenture Trustee is unable
to locate a qualified successor, (b) the Administrator at its option advises the Indenture

 

	 	8	Indenture (USAA 2016-1)

    	 

    	

    

Trustee in writing that
it elects to terminate the book-entry system through the Clearing Agency or (c) after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Note
Owners representing beneficial interests aggregating at least a majority of the Outstanding Note Balance, voting together as a
single Class, advise the Indenture Trustee through the Clearing Agency or its successor in writing that the continuation of a book-entry
system through the Clearing Agency or its successor is no longer in the best interests of the Note Owners, then the Indenture Trustee
shall instruct the Clearing Agency to notify each Clearing Agency Participant and request that such Clearing Agency Participant
notify the related Note Owners associated, 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 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 Definitive Notes
shall be typewritten, printed, lithographed or engraved or produced by any combination of these methods (with or without steel
engraved borders), all as determined by the officers executing such Notes, as evidenced by their execution of such Notes.

 

SECTION 2.13 Authenticating
Agents. (a) Upon the request of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee shall, and if the Indenture Trustee so chooses the Indenture
Trustee may, appoint one or more Persons (each, an “Authenticating Agent”) with power to act on its behalf and
subject to its direction in the authentication of Notes in connection with issuance, transfers and exchanges under Sections
2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5 and 9.6, as fully to all intents and purposes as though
each such Authenticating Agent had been expressly authorized by those Sections to authenticate such Notes. For all purposes of
this Indenture, the authentication of Notes by an Authenticating Agent pursuant to this Section shall be deemed to be the authentication
of Notes “by the Indenture Trustee.” The Indenture Trustee shall be the Authenticating Agent in the absence of any
appointment thereof.

 

(b) Any corporation
into which any Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting
from any merger, consolidation or conversion to which any Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding
to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of any Authenticating Agent, shall be the successor of such Authenticating
Agent hereunder, without the execution or filing of any further act on the part of the parties hereto or such Authenticating Agent

(d) The provisions of
Section 6.4 shall be applicable to any Authenticating Agent.

 

SECTION 2.14 Tax
Treatment.

 

(a) The Issuer has entered
into this Indenture, and the Notes shall be issued, with the intention that, for federal, state and local income, franchise and/or
value added tax purposes, the Notes shall qualify as indebtedness secured by the Collateral (except Notes owned by the Issuer or
a Person that is considered the same Person as the Issuer for U.S. federal income tax purposes). The Issuer, by entering into this
Indenture, and each Noteholder, by its acceptance of a Note (and each Note Owner by its acceptance of an interest in the applicable
Book-Entry Note, if applicable), agree to treat such Notes for federal, state and local income, franchise and/or value added tax
purposes as indebtedness (except Notes owned by the Issuer or a Person that is considered the same Person as the Issuer for U.S.
federal income tax purposes).

 

(b) Promptly upon request,
each Noteholder and Note Owner shall provide to the Indenture Trustee, Paying Agent and/or the Issuer (or other person responsible
for withholding of taxes, including but not limited to FATCA Withholding Tax, or delivery of information under FATCA) with Tax
Identification Information. Further, each Noteholder and Note Owner is deemed to understand that the Issuer, Indenture Trustee
and Paying Agent have the right to withhold interest payable with respect to the Note (without any corresponding gross-up) on any
beneficial owner of an interest in a Note that fails to comply with the preceding sentence.

 

SECTION 2.15 Certain
Transfer Restrictions on the Notes.

 

(a) By acquiring a Note,
each purchaser and transferee (and if the purchaser or transferee is a Plan, its fiduciary) shall be deemed to represent and warrant
that either (a) it is not acquiring such Note (or any interest therein) on behalf of or with any assets of (x) a Benefit Plan or
(y) any governmental plan, non-U.S. plan, church plan, other employee benefit plan or other retirement arrangement that is subject
to Similar Law; or (b) (i) such Note is rated at least “BBB-” or its equivalent by at least one nationally recognized
statistical rating organization at the time of purchase or transfer and (ii) the acquisition, holding and disposition of such Note
(or any interest therein) will not give rise to a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975
of the Code or a violation of any Similar Law.

 

(b) Any Notes retained
on the Closing Date by the Issuer or a Person that is considered the same Person as the Issuer for U.S. federal income tax purposes
may not be transferred to another Person (other than a Person that is considered the same Person as the Issuer for U.S. federal
income tax purposes) unless the Administrator shall cause an Opinion of Counsel to be delivered to the Depositor and the Indenture
Trustee at such time stating that either (x) such Notes will be debt for U.S. federal income tax purposes or (y) the sale of such
Notes to a Person unrelated to the Issuer will not cause the Issuer to be treated as an association or publicly traded partnership
taxable as a corporation. With respect to any transfer for which the Opinion of Counsel provided pursuant to the preceding sentence
is as described in clause (y), the sale or transfer of such Notes must be to a Person who is a United States Person (within the
meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code), must not be required to be registered under the Securities Act and such Notes and
the Certificate may at no time be held by more than 95 Persons, directly or indirectly, unless such Opinion of Counsel also states
that such Notes will be debt for U.S.

 

	 	10	Indenture (USAA 2016-1)

    	 

    	

    

federal income tax purposes.
In addition, if for tax or other reasons it may be necessary to track such Notes (e.g., if the Notes have original issue discount),
tracking conditions such as requiring that such Notes be in definitive registered form may be required by the Administrator as
a condition to such transfer. Any Notes whose transfer required the delivery of the Opinion of Counsel as is described in clause
(y) will require a similar Opinion of Counsel with respect to each subsequent transfer of such Notes.

 

(c) Any purported transfer
of a Note not in accordance with this Section 2.15 shall be null and void ab initio and shall not be given effect
for any purpose hereunder.

 

(d) The Indenture Trustee
shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under
this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Note other than to require delivery
of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required
by the terms of, this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements
hereof.

III COVENANTS

 

SECTION 3.1 Payment
of Principal and Interest. The Issuer will duly and punctually pay the principal of and interest on the Notes in accordance
with the terms of the Notes and this Indenture. Without limiting the foregoing and subject to Section 8.2, on each Payment

Payment Date and the Reserve Account Draw Amount for such Payment Date received by the Servicer during the preceding Collection
Period. Amounts properly withheld under the Code by any Person from a payment to any Noteholder of interest and/or principal shall
be considered to have been paid by the Issuer to such Noteholder for all purposes of this Indenture. Interest accrued on the Notes
shall be due and payable on each Payment Date. The final interest payment on each Class of Notes is due on the earlier of (a) the

the Notes and this Indenture may be served, which office or agency shall initially be located at the Corporate Trust Office provided
in clause (i) of the definition of such term. The Issuer hereby initially appoints the Indenture Trustee to serve as its agent
for the foregoing purposes. The Issuer shall give prompt written notice to the Indenture Trustee of the location, and of any change
in the location, of any such office or agency. If at any time the Issuer shall fail to maintain any such office or agency or shall
fail to furnish the Indenture Trustee with the address thereof, such surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the
Corporate Trust Office, and the Issuer hereby appoints the Indenture Trustee as its agent to receive all such surrenders, notices

pursuant to the Transaction Documents and (unless the Paying Agent is the Indenture Trustee) shall promptly notify the Indenture
Trustee in writing of its action or failure so to act.

 

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

 

(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
provided in the Transaction Documents;

 

(ii) give the
Indenture Trustee written 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;

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 Paying Agent;

 

(iv) promptly
provide 30 days’ prior written notice of its resignation as a 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 Paying
Agent at the time of its appointment; and

 

(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, including any FATCA Withholding Tax (including obtaining and retaining from Persons entitled to payments
with respect to the Notes any Tax Identification Information and paying over such withheld amounts to the appropriate Governmental
Authority), and with respect to any applicable reporting requirements in connection with any payments made by it on any Notes and
any withholding of taxes therefrom, and, upon request, provide any collected Tax Identification Information or Tax Identification

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

 

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

 

SECTION 3.4 Existence.
The Issuer will keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a statutory trust under the laws of the State of Delaware
(unless it becomes, or any successor Issuer hereunder is or becomes, organized under the laws of any other State or of the United
States of America, in which case the Issuer shall keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises under the laws of such
other jurisdiction) and shall 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.

 

SECTION 3.5 Protection
of Collateral. The Issuer intends the security interest Granted pursuant to this Indenture in favor of the Indenture Trustee
on behalf of the Noteholders to be prior to all other Liens in respect of the Collateral, and the Issuer shall take all actions
necessary to obtain and maintain, for the benefit of the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders, a first lien on and a
first priority, perfected security interest in the Collateral (except to the extent that the interest of the Indenture Trustee
therein cannot be perfected by the filing of a financing statement). The Issuer shall from time to time execute and deliver all
such supplements and amendments hereto, shall file or authorize the filing of all such financing statements, continuation statements,
instruments of further assurance and other instruments, all as prepared by the Administrator and delivered to the Issuer, and shall
take such other action necessary or advisable to:

any documents or instruments in any public office at any time or times or otherwise perfecting or maintaining the perfection of

of any financing statements and continuation statements as are necessary to perfect and make effective the first priority lien
and security interest of this Indenture, and reciting the details of such action, or (ii) no such action is necessary to make such

interest created by this Indenture, and reciting the details of such actions or referring to prior Opinions of Counsel in which
such details are given or (ii) no such action is necessary to maintain such lien and security interest. Such Opinion of Counsel
shall also describe the recording, filing, re-recording and refiling of this Indenture, any indentures supplemental hereto and
any other requisite documents and the filing of any financing statements and continuation statements that will, in the opinion
of such counsel, be required to maintain the lien and security interest of this Indenture until April 30 in the following calendar
year.

to permit any action to be taken

with other Persons to assist it in performing its duties under this Indenture, and any performance of such duties by a Person identified

or by Noteholders evidencing at least a majority of the Outstanding Note Balance, a written notice specifying such failure and
requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder;

 

(d) any representation
or warranty of the Issuer made in this Indenture proves to have been incorrect in any material respect when made, which failure
materially and adversely affects the interests of the Noteholders, and which failure continues unremedied for 60 days after there
shall have been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Issuer by the Indenture Trustee or by Noteholders evidencing at
least a majority of the Outstanding Note Balance, a written notice specifying such failure and requiring it to be remedied and
stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder; or

 

(e) an Insolvency
Event with respect to the Issuer;

 

provided, however, that a delay
in or failure of performance referred to under clauses (a), (b), (c) or (d) above for a period of 90
days will not constitute an Event of Default if that delay or failure was caused by force majeure or another similar occurrence
as certified by the Issuer in an Officer’s Certificate of the Issuer delivered to the Indenture Trustee.

 

The Issuer shall deliver
to the Indenture Trustee, within five (5) days of the occurrence thereof, written notice in the form of an Officer’s Certificate
of any event which with the giving

 

	 	19	Indenture (USAA 2016-1)

    	 

    	

    

of notice and the lapse
of time would become an Event of Default, its status and what action the Issuer is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

 

SECTION 5.2 Acceleration
of Maturity; Waiver of Event of Default. (a) Except as set forth in the last sentence of this Section 5.2(a), if an
Event of Default should occur and be continuing, then and in every such case the Indenture Trustee may, or if directed by the Noteholders
representing not less than a majority of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class shall, or the Noteholders of at least a majority
of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class may declare all the Notes to be immediately due and payable, by a notice in writing
to the Issuer (and to the Indenture Trustee if given by Noteholders), and upon any such declaration the unpaid Note Balance of
such Notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon through the date of acceleration, shall become immediately due and
payable. If an Event of Default specified in Section 5.1(e) occurs, all unpaid principal, together with all accrued and
unpaid interest thereon, of all Notes, and all other amounts payable hereunder, shall automatically become due and payable without
any declaration or other act on the part of the Indenture Trustee or any Noteholder.

 

(b) At any time after
such declaration of acceleration of maturity has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been
obtained by the Indenture Trustee as hereinafter provided for in this Article V, the Noteholders representing a majority
of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class, by written notice to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, may rescind and annul
such declaration and its consequences if:

 

(i) the Issuer
has paid or deposited with the Indenture Trustee a sum sufficient to pay (A) all payments of principal of and interest on all Notes
and all other amounts that would then be due hereunder or upon such Notes if the Event of Default giving rise to such acceleration
had not occurred, and (B) all sums paid or advanced by the Indenture Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee and its agents and counsel; and

 

(ii) all Events
of Default, other than the nonpayment of the principal of the Notes that has become due solely by such acceleration, have been
cured or waived as provided in Section 5.12.

 

No such rescission shall
affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereto.

 

If the Notes have been
declared due and payable or have automatically become due and payable following an Event of Default, the Indenture Trustee may
institute Proceedings to collect amounts due, exercise remedies as a secured party (including foreclosure or sale of the Collateral)
or elect to maintain the Collateral. Any sale of the Collateral by the Indenture Trustee will be subject to the terms and conditions
of Section 5.4.

 

SECTION 5.3 Collection
of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by the Indenture Trustee. (a) The Issuer covenants that if (i) default is made in
the payment of any interest on any Note of the Controlling Class when the same becomes due and payable, and such default continues
for a period of five Business Days or more, or (ii) default is made in the payment of

 

	 	20	Indenture (USAA 2016-1)

    	 

    	

    

the principal of any
Note at the related Final Scheduled Payment Date or the Redemption Date, the Issuer will, upon demand of the Indenture Trustee
in writing as directed by a majority of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class, pay to the Indenture Trustee, for the benefit
of the Holders of the Notes, the whole amount then due and payable on such Notes for principal and interest, with interest upon
the overdue principal, and, to the extent payment at such rate of interest shall be legally enforceable, upon overdue installments
of interest, at the applicable Interest Rate and in addition thereto such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs
and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee
and its agents and counsel.

 

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

 

(c) If an Event of Default
shall have occurred and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee may, as more particularly provided in Section 5.4, in its discretion,
proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Noteholders, by such appropriate Proceedings as the Indenture Trustee
shall deem most effective to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement
in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy or legal or equitable
right vested in the Indenture Trustee by this Indenture or by law.

 

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

 

(i) to file
and prove a claim or claims for the 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 and disbursements made,
by the Indenture Trustee and each predecessor Indenture Trustee,

 

	 	21	Indenture (USAA 2016-1)

    	 

    	

    

except as a
result of negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct) and of the Noteholders allowed in such Proceedings;

 

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

 

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

 

(iv) to file
such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Indenture
Trustee or the Noteholders allowed in any judicial 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 Noteholder 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 and disbursements made, by the Indenture Trustee and each predecessor Indenture Trustee except as a result of
negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct, and any other amounts due the Indenture Trustee under Section 6.7.

 

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

 

(f) All rights of action
and of asserting claims under this Indenture, or under any of the Notes, may be enforced by the Indenture Trustee without the possession
of any of the Notes or the production thereof in any trial or other Proceedings relative thereto, and any such action or Proceedings
instituted by the Indenture Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment,
subject to the payment of the expenses, disbursements and compensation of the Indenture Trustee, each predecessor Indenture Trustee
and their respective agents and attorneys, shall be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes, to the extent set forth
in Section 5.4(b).

 

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

 

	 	22	Indenture (USAA 2016-1)

    	 

    	

    

SECTION 5.4 Remedies;
Priorities. (a) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Indenture Trustee may, or at the direction
of Noteholders representing not less than a majority of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class shall, do one or more of the
following (subject to Sections 5.2, 5.5, 5.6 and 5.11):

 

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

 

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

 

(iii) exercise
any other 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 Noteholders; and

 

(iv) subject
to Section 5.17, after an acceleration of the maturity of the Notes pursuant to Section 5.2, sell the Collateral
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 Collateral following an Event of Default unless (A) the Holders of 100%
of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class have consented to such liquidation, (B) the proceeds of such sale or liquidation are
sufficient to pay in full the principal of and the accrued interest on the Outstanding Notes or (C) the default either (x) relates
to the failure to pay interest or principal when due (a “Payment Default”) and the Indenture Trustee determines
(but shall have no obligation to make such determination) that the Collections on the Receivables will not be sufficient on an
ongoing basis to make all payments on the Notes as they would have become due if the Notes had not been declared due and payable
or (y) relates to an Insolvency Event and, in the case of each of (x) and (y) above, the Indenture Trustee obtains the consent
of the Holders of 66-2/3% of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class. In determining such sufficiency or insufficiency with respect
to clauses (B) and (C) of the preceding sentence, the Indenture Trustee may at the expense of the Issuer, but need
not, obtain and rely upon an opinion of an Independent investment banking or accounting firm of national reputation as to the feasibility
of such proposed action and as to the sufficiency of the Trust Estate for such purpose. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, if the Event of Default does not relate to a Payment Default or Insolvency Event with respect to the Issuer, the Indenture
Trustee may not sell or otherwise liquidate the Trust Estate unless the Holders of all Outstanding Notes consent to such sale or
the proceeds of such sale are sufficient to pay in full the principal of and accrued interest on the Outstanding Notes.

 

(b) Notwithstanding
the provisions of Section 8.2 of this Indenture or Section 4.4 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement after an Event
of Default and acceleration of the Notes, if the Indenture Trustee collects any Collections, money or property with respect to
the Collateral, it shall pay out such Collections, money or property (and other amounts, including all amounts

 

	 	23	Indenture (USAA 2016-1)

    	 

    	

    

held on deposit in the
Reserve Account) held as Collateral for the benefit of the Noteholders (net of liquidation costs associated with the sale of the
Trust Estate) in the following order of priority:

 

(i) first,
to the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee, any accrued and unpaid fees (including any unpaid Indenture Trustee or Owner Trustee
fees with respect to prior periods), and expenses and indemnity payments which have not previously been paid;

 

(ii) second,
to the Asset Representations Reviewer, any accrued and unpaid fees (including any unpaid Asset Representations Reviewer fees with
respect to prior periods) and expenses and indemnity payments which have not previously been paid;

 

(iii) third,
to the Servicer, the Servicing Fee and all unpaid Servicing Fees with respect to prior Collection Periods;

 

(iv) fourth,
pro rata, based on amounts due to the Class A Noteholders, for payment to each respective Class of Class A Noteholders, the Accrued
Class A Note Interest; provided, that if there are not sufficient funds available to pay the entire amount of the Accrued
Class A Note Interest, the amount available shall be applied to the payment of such interest on each Class of Class A Notes on
a pro rata basis based on the amount of interest payable to each Class of Class A Notes;

 

(v) fifth,
to the Holders of the Class A-1 Notes in respect of principal thereof until the Class A-1 Notes have been paid in full;

 

(vi) sixth,
to the Holders of the Class A-2 Notes, Class A-3 Notes and Class A-4 Notes, in respect of principal thereon, on a pro rata basis
(based on the Note Balance of each Class on such Payment Date), until all Classes of the Class A Notes have been paid in full;

 

(vii) seventh,
to the Holders of the Class B Notes, the Accrued Class B Note Interest;

 

(viii) eighth,
to the Holders of the Class B Notes in respect of principal thereon until the Class B Notes have been paid in full;

 

(ix) ninth,
to the Servicer, legal expenses and costs incurred pursuant to Section 6.4(b) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement; and

 

(x) tenth,
any remaining funds shall be distributed to or at the direction of the Certificateholder.

 

The Indenture Trustee
may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Noteholders pursuant to this Section 5.4. At least 15 days before
such record date, the Issuer shall mail to each Noteholder and the Indenture Trustee a notice that states the record date, the
payment date and the amount to be paid.

 

If the Notes have not
been accelerated because of an Event of Default, if the Indenture Trustee collects any money or property pursuant to this Article
V, such amounts shall be

 

	 	24	Indenture (USAA 2016-1)

    	 

    	

    

deposited into the Collection
Account and distributed in accordance with Section 4.4 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement and Section 8.2 hereof.

 

SECTION 5.5 Optional
Preservation of the Collateral. If the Notes have been declared or are automatically due and payable under Section 5.2
following an Event of Default and such declaration or automatic occurrence and its consequences have not been rescinded and annulled,
if permitted hereunder, the Indenture Trustee may, but need not, elect to maintain possession of the Trust Estate and continue
to apply the proceeds thereof in accordance with Section 5.4(b). It is the intent 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 intent into account when determining whether or not to maintain possession of the Collateral. In determining whether
to maintain possession of the Collateral, the Indenture Trustee may (at other than its own expense), but need not, obtain and rely
upon an opinion of an Independent investment banking or accounting firm of national reputation as to the feasibility of such proposed
action and as to the sufficiency of the Collateral for such purpose.

 

SECTION 5.6 Limitation
of Suits. (a) No Holder of any Note shall have any right to institute any Proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to
this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless:

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

No Noteholder or group of Noteholders shall
have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice
the rights of any other Noteholders or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other Noteholders or to enforce
any right under this Indenture, except, in each case, to the extent and in the manner herein provided.

 

In the event the Indenture
Trustee shall receive conflicting or inconsistent requests and indemnity from two or more groups of Noteholders, each representing
less than a majority of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class, the Indenture Trustee shall act at the direction of the group
of Noteholders representing the greater Note Balance of the Controlling Class. If the

 

	 	25	Indenture (USAA 2016-1)

    	 

    	

    

Indenture Trustee receives
conflicting or inconsistent requests and indemnity from two or more groups of Noteholders representing equal Note Balances of the
Controlling Class, the Indenture Trustee in its sole discretion may determine what action, if any, shall be taken, notwithstanding
any other provisions of this Indenture.

 

(b) No Noteholder shall
have any right to vote except as provided pursuant to this Indenture and the Notes, nor any right in any manner to otherwise control
the operation and management of the Issuer. However, in connection with any action as to which Noteholders are entitled to vote
or consent under this Indenture and the Notes, the Issuer may set a record date for purposes of determining the identity of Noteholders
entitled to vote or consent in accordance with TIA Section 316(c).

 

SECTION 5.7 Rights
of Noteholders to Receive Principal and Interest. Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Indenture, the Holder of any
Note shall have the right to receive payment of the principal of and interest on such Note on or after the respective due dates
thereof expressed in such Note or in this Indenture (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date) and to institute
suit for the enforcement of any such payment and such right shall not be impaired without the consent of such Noteholder.

 

SECTION 5.8 Restoration
of Rights and Remedies. If the Indenture Trustee or any Noteholder has instituted any Proceeding to enforce any right or remedy
under this Indenture and such Proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or has been determined adversely to
the Indenture Trustee or to such Noteholder, then and in every such case the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders
shall, subject to any determination in such Proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder,
and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders shall continue as though no such Proceeding
had been instituted.

 

SECTION 5.9 Rights
and Remedies Cumulative. No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Indenture Trustee or to the Noteholders
is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be
cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or
otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder or otherwise shall not prevent the concurrent assertion
or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

 

SECTION 5.10 Delay
or Omission Not a Waiver. No delay or omission of the Indenture Trustee or any Holder of any Note to exercise any right or
remedy accruing upon any Default or Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Default
or Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article 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.

 

SECTION 5.11 Control
by Noteholders. Subject to the provisions of Sections 5.4, 5.6, 6.1(c), 6.2(d), 6.2(e) and
6.2(f). Noteholders holding not less than a majority of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class, shall have the right
to direct the time, method and place of conducting

 

	 	26	Indenture (USAA 2016-1)

    	 

    	

    

any Proceeding for any
remedy available to the Indenture Trustee with respect to the Notes or with respect to the exercise of any trust or power conferred
on the Indenture Trustee; provided, that

 

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

 

(b) subject
to the express terms of the proviso and the last sentence of Section 5.4(a), any direction to the Indenture Trustee to sell
or liquidate the Trust Estate shall be by the Holders of Notes representing not less than 100% of the Outstanding Note Balance
unless the proceeds of such sale are sufficient to pay in full the principal of and accrued interest on the Outstanding Notes;

 

(c) if the
conditions set forth in Section 5.5 have been satisfied and the Indenture Trustee elects to retain the Trust Estate pursuant
to such Section, then any direction to the Indenture Trustee by Holders of Notes representing less than 100% of the Outstanding
Note Balance to sell or liquidate the Trust Estate shall be of no force and effect;

 

(d) the Indenture
Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Indenture Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction, applicable
law and the terms of this Indenture; and

 

(e) such direction
shall be in writing;

 

provided, further, that,
subject to Section 6.1, the Indenture Trustee need not take any action that it determines might expose it to personal liability
or might materially adversely affect or unduly prejudice the rights of any Noteholders not consenting to such action.

 

SECTION 5.12 Waiver
of Past Defaults. Prior to the declaration of the acceleration of the maturity of the Notes as provided in Section 5.2,
the Holders of Notes of not less than a majority of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class may waive any past Default or Event
of Default and its consequences except a Default (a) in payment of principal of or interest on any of the Notes, (b) in respect
of a covenant or provision hereof which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of each Noteholder or (c) arising from
an Insolvency Event with respect to the Issuer. In the case of any such waiver, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders
shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent
or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

 

Upon any such waiver,
such Default or Event of 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 prior, subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

 

SECTION 5.13 Undertaking
for Costs. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Noteholder by such Noteholder’s acceptance thereof shall be
deemed to have agreed, that any

 

	 	27	Indenture (USAA 2016-1)

    	 

    	

    

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 the Indenture Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking
to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’
fees, 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
Note Balance, 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 5.14 Waiver
of Stay or Extension Laws. The Issuer covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist
upon, or plead or in any manner whatsoever, claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted,
now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Issuer (to the
extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will
not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Indenture Trustee, but will suffer and permit the
execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

 

SECTION 5.15 Action
on Notes. The Indenture Trustee’s right to seek and recover judgment on the Notes or under this Indenture shall not be
affected by the seeking, obtaining or application of any other relief under or with respect to this Indenture. Neither the lien
of this Indenture nor any rights or remedies of the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders shall be impaired by the recovery of any
judgment by the Indenture Trustee against the Issuer or by the levy of any execution under such judgment upon any portion of the
Trust Estate or upon any of the assets of the Issuer. Any money or property collected by the Indenture Trustee shall be applied
in accordance with Section 5.4(b), if the maturity of the Notes has been accelerated pursuant to Section 5.2, or
Section 4.4 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement and Section 8.2 of this Indenture, if the maturity of the Notes has
not been accelerated.

 

SECTION 5.16 Performance
and Enforcement of Certain Obligations. (a) Promptly following a request from the Indenture Trustee to do so, the Issuer shall
take all such lawful action as the Indenture Trustee may request to compel or secure the performance and observance (i) by the
Seller and the Servicer, as applicable, of each of their obligations to the Issuer under or in connection with the Sale and Servicing
Agreement, or (ii) by the Seller or the Bank, as applicable, of each of their obligations under or in connection with the Purchase
Agreement, in each case, 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 and the Purchase Agreement, as the
case may be, to the extent and in the manner directed by the Indenture Trustee, including the transmission of notices of default
on the part of the Seller, the Servicer or the Bank thereunder and the institution of legal or administrative actions or Proceedings
to compel or secure performance by the Seller or the Servicer of each of their obligations under the Sale and Servicing Agreement
or by the Seller or

 

	 	28	Indenture (USAA 2016-1)

    	 

    	

    

the Bank, as applicable,
of each of their obligations under or in connection with the Purchase Agreement.

 

(b) If an Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee may, and, at the direction (which direction shall be in writing) of the Holders
of a majority of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class shall, exercise all rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims
of the Issuer against the Seller or the Servicer under or in connection with the Sale and Servicing Agreement or against the Seller
or the Bank under the Purchase Agreement, including the right or power to take any action to compel or secure performance or observance
by the Seller, the Servicer or the Bank of each of their obligations to the Issuer thereunder and to give any consent, request,
notice, direction, approval, extension or waiver under the Sale and Servicing Agreement or the Purchase Agreement, as applicable,
and any right of the Issuer to take such action shall be suspended.

 

SECTION 5.17 Sale
of Collateral. If the Indenture Trustee acts to sell the Collateral or any part thereof, pursuant to Section 5.4(a),
the Indenture Trustee or its agent shall publish a notice in an Authorized Newspaper stating that the Indenture Trustee or its
agent intends to effect such a sale in a commercially reasonable manner and on commercially reasonable terms, which shall include
the solicitation of competitive bids. Following such publication, the Indenture Trustee or its agent shall, unless otherwise prohibited
by applicable law from any such action, sell the Collateral or any part thereof, in such manner and on such terms as provided above
to the highest bidder, provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee or its agent may from time to time postpone
any sale by public announcement made at the time and place of such sale. The Indenture Trustee or its agent shall give notice to
the Seller and the Servicer of any proposed sale, and the Seller, the Servicer or any Affiliate thereof shall be permitted to bid
for the Collateral at any such sale. The Indenture Trustee or its agent may obtain a prior determination from a conservator, receiver
or trustee in bankruptcy of the Issuer that the terms and manner of any proposed sale are commercially reasonable. The power to
effect any sale of any portion of the Collateral pursuant to Section 5.4 and this Section 5.17 shall not be exhausted
by any one or more sales as to any portion of the Collateral remaining unsold, but shall continue unimpaired until the entire Collateral
shall have been sold or all amounts payable on the Notes shall have been paid. The Indenture Trustee may utilize an agent at other
than its own expense for the purpose of conducting any sale of Collateral hereunder.

shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith which it reasonably believes to be authorized or within

(e) The Indenture Trustee
may consult with counsel, and the advice or opinion of counsel with respect to legal matters relating to this Indenture, the Notes
and any Transaction Documents to which the Indenture Trustee is a party shall be full and complete authorization and protection

or opinion of such counsel.

 

(f) The Indenture Trustee
shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture or to institute, conduct or

Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the Indenture Trustee be liable under or in connection with this Indenture

	 	32	Indenture (USAA 2016-1)

    	 

    	

    

and their respective
Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not the Indenture Trustee, and the Seller, the Owner Trustee, the Administrator
and their respective Affiliates may maintain normal commercial banking and investment banking relationships with the Indenture
Trustee and its Affiliates. Any Paying Agent, Note Registrar, co-registrar, co-paying agent, co-trustee or separate trustee may
do the same with like rights. However, the Indenture Trustee must comply with Section 6.11.

 

SECTION 6.4 The Indenture
Trustee’s Disclaimer. The Indenture Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity
or adequacy of this Indenture, the Notes or the other Transaction Documents or the validity, sufficiency or perfection of the Collateral,
shall not be accountable for the Issuer’s use of the proceeds from the Notes, and shall not be responsible for any statement
or omission of the Issuer in the Indenture or the other Transaction Documents or in any document issued in connection with the
sale of the Notes or in the Notes, all of which shall be taken as the statements of the Issuer, other than the Indenture Trustee’s
certificate of authentication. The Indenture Trustee shall not be responsible for making Collections called for under the terms
and provisions of the Receivables and on each Payment Date shall make the deposits and distributions specified in this Indenture
and the Sale and Servicing Agreement solely based on information contained in, and as directed by, the Servicer’s Certificate.

 

SECTION 6.5 Notice
of Defaults. If a Default occurs and is continuing and if it is either actually known by a Responsible Officer of the Indenture
Trustee 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 and the Administrator notice of the Default within 90 days after such knowledge or notice
occurs. Except in the case of a Default in payment of principal of or interest on any Note (including payments pursuant to the
mandatory redemption provisions of such Note), the Indenture Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its
Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of Noteholders.

 

SECTION 6.6 Reports
by the Indenture Trustee to Noteholders. Upon delivery from the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee shall make available on its
website at www.usbank.com/abs or such other website address as is provided by the Indenture Trustee to each Noteholder, not later
than the latest date permitted by law (provided that such information is timely delivered by the Servicer), such information as
may be required by law to enable such Holder to prepare its federal and state income tax returns.

 

SECTION 6.7 Compensation
and Indemnity. The Issuer shall cause the Servicer pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement to agree (i) to pay to the
Indenture Trustee from time to time such compensation as the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee shall agree in writing for services
rendered by the Indenture Trustee hereunder and under the Transaction Documents in accordance with a fee letter between the Servicer
and the Indenture Trustee effective as of the Closing Date, (ii) to reimburse the Indenture Trustee for all reasonable expenses,
advances and disbursements incurred by it in connection with the performance of its duties as Indenture Trustee hereunder and under
the Transaction Documents and (iii) to reimburse and indemnify the Indenture Trustee from and against any and all loss, liability,
expense, tax, penalty or claim (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) of any kind and nature whatsoever which may at

 

	 	33	Indenture (USAA 2016-1)

    	 

    	

    

any time be imposed on,
incurred by or asserted against the Indenture Trustee in any way relating to or arising out of this Indenture, the other Transaction
Documents, or the action or inaction of the Indenture Trustee, including but not limited to the costs of defending any claim or
bringing any claim to enforce its rights, including enforcement of the Servicer’s indemnification obligations hereunder.
The Indenture Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The
Indenture Trustee shall notify the Issuer and the Servicer promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the
Indenture Trustee to so notify the Issuer and the Servicer shall not relieve the Issuer or the Servicer of its obligations hereunder.
The Issuer shall, or shall cause the Servicer to, defend any such claim, and the Indenture Trustee may have separate counsel of
its own choosing and the Issuer shall, or shall cause the Servicer to, pay the fees and expenses of such counsel within a reasonable
time following receipt by the Servicer of an invoice therefor. The Indenture Trustee shall not be indemnified by the Administrator,
the Issuer, the Seller or the Servicer against any loss, liability or expense incurred by it or arising from (i) U.S. Bank National
Association’s own willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith, (ii) the inaccuracy of any representation, warranty or covenant
expressly made by U.S. Bank National Association in its individual capacity or any representation, warranty or covenant made by
U.S. Bank National Association in accordance with Sections 9.21 or 9.22 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement or (iii)
taxes, fees or other charges on, based on or measured by, any fees, commissions or compensation received by the Indenture Trustee.

 

The compensation and
indemnity obligations to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section shall survive the resignation or removal of the Indenture
Trustee, the discharge of this Indenture and the termination of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. When the Indenture Trustee incurs
expenses after the occurrence of an Event of Default set forth in Section 5.1(e) with respect to the Issuer, the expenses
are intended to constitute expenses of administration under the Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy,
insolvency or similar law.

 

SECTION 6.8 Removal,
Resignation and Replacement of the Indenture Trustee. The Indenture Trustee may resign upon 30 days’ prior written notice
to the Issuer, the Administrator and the Servicer. The Holders of a majority of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class may remove
the Indenture Trustee without cause upon 30 days’ prior written notice to the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer, and following
that removal may appoint a successor to the Indenture Trustee. The Issuer shall, upon 30 days’ prior written notice, cause
the Administrator to remove the Indenture Trustee if:

 

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

 

(b) an Insolvency
Event occurs with respect to the Indenture Trustee;

 

(c) a receiver
or other public officer takes charge of the Indenture Trustee or its property; or

 

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

 

If the Indenture Trustee
resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of the Indenture Trustee for any reason (the Indenture Trustee in such
event being referred to herein as

 

	 	34	Indenture (USAA 2016-1)

    	 

    	

    

the retiring Indenture
Trustee), the Issuer shall cause the Administrator to promptly appoint a successor Indenture Trustee which satisfies the requirements
set forth in Section 6.11.

 

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, without any
further act, deed or conveyance, shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture. The
successor Indenture Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to Noteholders. The retiring Indenture Trustee shall promptly
transfer all property held by it as the Indenture Trustee to the successor Indenture Trustee.

 

If a successor Indenture
Trustee does not take office within 30 days after the retiring Indenture Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Indenture
Trustee, the Issuer or the Holders of a majority of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class may petition any court of competent
jurisdiction, at the expense of the Issuer, for the appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee.

 

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

 

Any resignation or removal
of the Indenture Trustee and appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee pursuant to 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, expenses and indemnities owed to the retiring Indenture Trustee.

 

The Indenture Trustee
shall not be liable for the acts or omissions of any successor Indenture Trustee.

 

If the Indenture Trustee
is acting as Paying Agent under this Indenture, the Paying Agent shall be subject to the resignation and removal timing requirements
set forth in this Section 6.8.

 

SECTION 6.9 Successor
Indenture Trustee by Merger. Subject to Section 6.11, if the Indenture Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts
into, or transfers all or substantially all its corporate trust business or assets to, another corporation or banking association,
the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation without any further act shall be the successor Indenture Trustee, provided,
that such corporation or banking association shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under Section 6.11. The Indenture
Trustee shall provide the Administrator written notice of any such consolidation, merger, conversion or transfer within one Business
Day of the effectiveness of such transaction.

 

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

 

	 	35	Indenture (USAA 2016-1)

    	 

    	

    

SECTION 6.10 Appointment
of Co-Indenture Trustee or Separate Indenture Trustee. (a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, at any time,
after delivering written notice to the Administrator, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirement of any jurisdiction in which
any part of the Trust Estate may at the time be located, the Indenture Trustee and the Administrator acting jointly shall have
the power and may execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons to act as a co-trustee or co-trustees, or
separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Trust 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 and the Administrator may consider
necessary or desirable. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor
trustee under 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.

 

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

 

(i) all rights,
powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Indenture Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised
or performed by the Indenture Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being intended 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 Collateral 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;

 

(ii) neither
the Indenture Trustee nor any separate trustee or co-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

 

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

 

(c) Any notice, request
or other writing given to the Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the 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 and a copy thereof given to the Administrator.

 

	 	36	Indenture (USAA 2016-1)

    	 

    	

    

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

 

SECTION 6.11 Eligibility;
Disqualification. The Indenture Trustee shall at all times satisfy the requirements of TIA Section 310(a) and, in addition,
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

relationship listed in TIA Section 311(b). Any Indenture Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA Section
311(a) to the extent indicated.

 

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

 

(i) the Indenture
Trustee is a national banking association duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the United States; and

 

(ii) the Indenture
Trustee has full power, authority and legal right to execute, deliver, and perform this Indenture and shall have taken all necessary

require, of the names and addresses of the Noteholders as of such Record Date, and (b) at such other times as the Indenture Trustee
may request in writing, within 30 days after receipt by the Issuer of any such request, a list of similar form and content as of

as provided in Section
7.1 and the names and addresses of Noteholders received by the Indenture Trustee in its capacity as the Note Registrar. The
Indenture Trustee may destroy any list furnished to it as provided in such Section 7.1 upon receipt of a new list so furnished;
provided, however, that so long as the Indenture Trustee is the Note Registrar or the Notes are issued as Book-Entry
Notes, no such list shall be required to be preserved or maintained.

 

(b) The Noteholders
may communicate pursuant to TIA Section 312(b) with other Noteholders with respect to their rights under this Indenture or under

(a) If a Noteholder
(if the Notes are represented by Definitive Notes) or a Note Owner (if the Notes are represented by Book-Entry Notes) becomes aware
of a breach of the Bank’s representations and warranties in Section 3.3 of the Purchase Agreement that would require
the Bank to repurchase a Receivable pursuant to Section 3.4 of the Purchase Agreement such Noteholder or Note Owner (the
“Requesting Investor”) may notify the Bank and request that the Bank repurchase the related Receivable. Any
such written notice shall provide sufficient detail of the purported breach of a representation or warranty to allow the Bank reasonably
to investigate such purported breach. Sufficient detail shall be deemed to be provided if the Requesting Investor identifies the
Receivable to be repurchased and includes the corresponding Test Fail described in the Form 10-D with the Asset Representations
Reviewer’s report. If the Requesting Investor is a Note Owner, the Bank may require that the Requesting Investor provide
a certification stating that it is a beneficial owner of a Note, as well as Verification Documents. The Bank shall be responsible
for reimbursing the Indenture Trustee for any expenses incurred in connection with such verification.

of notice of

 

	 	38	Indenture (USAA 2016-1)

    	 

    	

    

the request by the Bank,
the Requesting Investor may, at its discretion, refer the matter to either mediation (including non-binding arbitration) or binding
arbitration pursuant to Section 9.26 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. The Indenture Trustee shall not be deemed to have
actual knowledge that any repurchase request remained unresolved for 180 days unless a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee
has actual knowledge that such repurchase request remained unresolved for 180 days or has received written notice evidencing that
such repurchase request remained unresolved for 180 days. Other than the Indenture Trustee’s obligation to notify the Seller
and the Bank of any demands communicated to a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee for the repurchase or replacement of
any Receivable for breach of the representations and warranties concerning such Receivable pursuant to Section 9.21(c) of
the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Indenture Trustee shall have no obligation under the Indenture or any other Transaction Document
to monitor and/or report the status of repurchase requests.

 

(c) A Requesting Investor
shall not be required to direct that an Asset Representations Review be performed prior to submitting a repurchase request with
respect to any Receivable or using the dispute resolution provisions pursuant to Section 9.26 of the Sale and Servicing
Agreement with respect to such Receivable. The failure of a Requesting Investor to direct an Asset Representations Review shall
not affect whether any Requesting Investor can pursue dispute resolution. In addition, whether any Requesting Investor voted affirmatively,
negatively or abstained in the vote to cause a review shall not affect whether such Requesting Investor may use the dispute resolution
proceedings pursuant to Section 9.26 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. A Requesting Investor may refer to either mediation
(including non-binding arbitration) or binding arbitration pursuant to Section 9.26 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement
a dispute related to any Receivables, including any Receivables that the Asset Representations Reviewer did not review in connection
with an Asset Representations Review, any Receivables for which the Asset Representations Reviewer found a Test Fail in connection
with an Asset Representations Review and any Receivables that the Asset Representation Reviewer reviewed and determined that there
were no Test Fails in connection with an Asset Representations Review.

 

(d) For the avoidance
of doubt, the Indenture Trustee shall not be required to (i) determine whether or not to give notice to Noteholders that a Delinquency
Trigger has occurred or (ii) determine which assets are subject to an Asset Representations Review by the Asset Representations
Reviewer.

 

SECTION 7.5 Asset
Representations Review Voting

 

(a) If the Delinquency
Percentage on any Payment Date exceeds the Delinquency Trigger for that Payment Date, then Noteholders (if the Notes are represented
by Definitive Notes) or Note Owners (if the Notes are represented by Book-Entry Notes) holding at least 5% of the Outstanding Note
Balance as of the filing of the Form 10-D that disclosed that the Delinquency Percentage exceeded the Delinquency Trigger (the
“Instituting Noteholders”) may elect to initiate a vote (which shall be conducted in accordance with the Indenture
Trustee’s standard internal vote solicitation process at the time) to determine whether the Asset Representations Reviewer
should conduct an Asset Representations Review by giving written notice to the Indenture Trustee of their desire to institute such
a vote within 90 days after the filing of the Form 10-D disclosing that the Delinquency Percentage exceeds the Delinquency

 

	 	39	Indenture (USAA 2016-1)

    	 

    	

    

Trigger; provided,
however, that the failure of any Noteholder or Note Owner to institute such a vote shall not preclude such Noteholder or
Note Owner, as applicable, from pursuing dispute resolution pursuant to Section 9.26 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement.
Notice of the initiation of such vote shall be provided on Form 10-D. If any Instituting Noteholder is not a Noteholder as reflected
on the Note Register, the Indenture Trustee may require such Instituting Noteholder to provide Verification Documents to confirm
that the Instituting Noteholder is, in fact, a Note Owner. If the Instituting Noteholders initiate such a vote, the Indenture Trustee
shall submit the matter to a vote of all Noteholders, which shall be through the Clearing Agency if the Notes are represented by
Book-Entry Notes. The Indenture Trustee may set a Record Date for purposes of determining the identity of Noteholders or Note Owners,
as applicable, entitled to vote in accordance with TIA Section 316(c). The vote will remain open until the 150th day
after the filing of the Form 10-D disclosing that the Delinquency Percentage exceeds the Delinquency Trigger. Abstaining from,
voting in favor of, or voting against causing the Asset Representations Reviewer to conduct an Asset Representations Review shall
not preclude any Noteholder from pursuing dispute resolution pursuant to Section 9.26 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement.
The Bank, the Depositor and the Issuer shall cooperate with the Indenture Trustee to facilitate the voting process. The “Noteholder
Direction” shall be deemed to have occurred if Noteholders representing at least a majority of the voting Noteholders
vote in favor of directing an Asset Representations Review of the Subject Receivables by the Asset Representations Reviewer. Following
the completion of the voting process, the next Form 10-D filed by the Depositor will disclose whether or not a Noteholder Direction
has occurred.

 

(b) Within 5 Business
Days of the Review Satisfaction Date, the Indenture Trustee will send a written notice (a “Review Notice”) to
the Servicer and the Asset Representations Reviewer specifying that the asset review conditions have been satisfied and providing
the applicable Review Satisfaction Date.

 

(c) Notwithstanding
clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 7.5, a Noteholder (if the Notes are represented by Definitive Notes) or
Note Owner (if the Notes are represented by Book-Entry Notes) need not direct an Asset Representations Review be performed prior
to (i)(x) notifying the Bank of a breach of the Bank’s representations and warranties in Section 3.3 of the Purchase
Agreement that would require the Bank to repurchase a Receivable pursuant to Section 3.4 of the Purchase Agreement and (y)
requesting that the Bank repurchase the related Receivable pursuant to Section 7.4 hereof or (ii) referring the matter,
at its discretion, to either mediation (including non-binding arbitration) or binding arbitration pursuant to Section 9.26
of the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

more of the Outstanding Note Balance, but such certificate need not be furnished in the case of any release of property or securities
if the fair value thereof as set forth in the related Officer’s Certificate is less than $25,000 or less than one percent
of the then Outstanding Note Balance.

 

	 	48	Indenture (USAA 2016-1)

    	 

    	

    

(v) Notwithstanding
Section 2.9 or any other provision of this Section, the Issuer may (A) collect, liquidate, sell or otherwise dispose of
Receivables and Financed Vehicles as and to the extent permitted or required by the Transaction Documents, and (B) make cash payments
out of the Trust Accounts as and to the extent permitted or required by the Transaction Documents.

 

SECTION 11.2 Form
of Documents Delivered to the Indenture Trustee. In any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered
by an opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion of,
only one such Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one such Person may certify or give an
opinion with respect to some matters and one or more other such Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify or
give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents.

 

Any certificate of an
Authorized Officer of the Issuer may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon an opinion of, or representations by,
counsel, unless such officer knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the opinion or representations with
respect to the matters upon which his or her certificate is based are erroneous. Any Opinion of Counsel may be based, insofar as
it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate, or representations by, an officer or officers of the Servicer, the Seller, the
Administrator or the Issuer, stating that the information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the Servicer,
the Seller, the Administrator or the Issuer, unless such counsel knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that
the certificate 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 11.3 Acts
of Noteholders.

 

(a) Any request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Noteholders
may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Noteholders in person
or by agents duly appointed in writing; and except as herein otherwise expressly provided such action shall become effective when
such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Indenture Trustee, and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Issuer.
Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein

 

	 	49	Indenture (USAA 2016-1)

    	 

    	

    

sometimes referred to
as the “Act” of the Noteholders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument
or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 6.1)
conclusive in favor of the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer, if made in the manner provided in this Section.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

SECTION 11.4 Notices.
All demands, notices and communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be delivered or mailed by registered or certified
first-class United States mail, postage prepaid, hand delivery, prepaid courier service, by facsimile or, if so provided on
Schedule I to the Sale and Servicing Agreement, by electronic transmission, and addressed in each case as specified on Schedule
I to the Sale and Servicing Agreement or at such other address as shall be designated by any of the specified addressees in
a written notice to the other parties hereto. Delivery will be deemed to have been made: (i) upon delivery or, in the case of a
letter mailed by registered or certified first-class United States mail, postage prepaid, three days after deposit in the mail,
(ii) in the case of a facsimile, when receipt is confirmed by telephone, reply email or reply facsimile from the recipient, (iii)
in the case of electronic transmission, when receipt is confirmed by telephone or reply email from the recipient and (iv) in the
case of an electronic posting to a password-protected website to which the recipient has been provided access, upon delivery (without
the requirement of confirmation of receipt) and notice (including email) to such recipient stating that such electronic posting
has occurred.

 

SECTION 11.5 Notices
to Noteholders; Waiver. Where this Indenture provides for notice to Noteholders of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently
given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class, postage prepaid to each Noteholder affected
by such event, at 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 herein provided shall conclusively be presumed to
have been duly given.

 

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

 

	 	50	Indenture (USAA 2016-1)

    	 

    	

    

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 an Event of Default.

 

SECTION 11.6 Alternate
Payment and Notice Provisions. Notwithstanding any provision of this Indenture or any of the Notes to the contrary, the Issuer
may enter into any agreement with any Noteholder providing for a method of payment, or notice by the Indenture Trustee or any Paying
Agent to such Noteholder, that is different from the methods provided for in this Indenture for such payments or notices, provided,
that such methods are reasonable, acceptable to and consented to by the Indenture Trustee (which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld). The Issuer will furnish to the Indenture Trustee a copy of each such agreement and the Indenture Trustee will cause
payments to be made and notices to be given in accordance with such agreements.

 

SECTION 11.7 Conflict
with Trust Indenture Act. If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with another provision hereof that is required
to be included in this Indenture by any of the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act, such required provision shall control.

 

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

 

SECTION 11.8 Effect
of Headings and Table of Contents. The Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience only
and shall not affect the construction hereof.

 

SECTION 11.9 Successors
and Assigns. All covenants and agreements in this Indenture and the Notes by the Issuer shall bind its successors and assigns,
whether so expressed or not. All agreements of the Indenture Trustee in this Indenture shall bind its successors.

 

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

 

SECTION 11.11 Benefits
of Indenture. Nothing in this Indenture or in the Notes, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties
hereto and their successors hereunder and to the extent expressly provided herein, the Noteholders, any other party with rights
to payments or distributions under this Indenture, and any other Person with an ownership interest in any portion of the Collateral,
any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture.

 

	 	51	Indenture (USAA 2016-1)

    	 

    	

    

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

 

SECTION 11.13 Governing
Law. THIS INDENTURE SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS CONFLICT
OF LAW PROVISIONS OTHER THAN SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW, AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS
AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.

 

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

 

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

 

SECTION 11.16 Trust
Obligation. Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note, or, in the case of a Note Owner or a beneficial interest
in a Note, by accepting the benefits of this Indenture, covenants and agrees that no recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly,

or any certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith or therewith, against (i) the Indenture Trustee or the Owner
Trustee in their respective individual capacities, (ii) any Certificateholder or any other owner of a beneficial interest in the
Issuer, (iii) the Servicer, the Administrator or the Seller or (iv) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer, director,

such Person may have expressly agreed (it being understood that the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee have no such obligations
in their individual capacity) and except that any such partner, owner or beneficiary shall be fully liable, to the extent provided
by applicable law, for any unpaid consideration for stock, unpaid capital contribution or failure to pay any installment or call
owing to such entity.

 

SECTION 11.17 No
Petition. Each of the Indenture Trustee, by entering into this Indenture, and each Noteholder and Note Owner, by accepting
a Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note, hereby covenants and agrees that prior to the date which

or seeking the appointment of an administrator, a trustee,

receiver, liquidator,

consent to any such relief or to the appointment of or taking possession by any such official in an involuntary case or other Proceeding
commenced against such Bankruptcy Remote Party, or to make a general assignment for the benefit of, its creditors generally, any
party hereto or any other creditor of such Bankruptcy Remote Party, and (ii) such party shall not commence, join with any other
Person in commencing or institute with any other Person any Proceeding against such Bankruptcy Remote Party under any bankruptcy,
reorganization, arrangement, liquidation or insolvency law or statute now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction, provided
that the foregoing shall in no way limit the rights of the parties hereto to pursue any other creditor rights or remedies that
such Persons may have against the Issuer under applicable law.

 

SECTION 11.18 Intent.
(a) It is the intent of the Issuer that the Notes constitute indebtedness for all financial accounting purposes and the Issuer
agrees and each purchaser of a Note (by virtue of the acquisition of such Note or an interest therein) shall be deemed to have

(b) It is the intent
of the Issuer that the Notes constitute indebtedness for all tax purposes and the Issuer agrees and each purchaser of a Note (by

the same Person as the Issuer for U.S. federal income tax purposes).

 

SECTION 11.19 Submission
to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.

 

(a) Each of the parties
hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:

 

(i) submits
for itself and its property in any legal action or Proceeding relating to this Indenture or any documents executed and delivered

(ii) consents
that any such action or Proceeding may be brought and maintained in such courts and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter
have to the venue of such action or Proceeding in any such court or that such action or Proceeding was brought in an inconvenient
court and agrees not to plead or claim the same;

 

(iii) agrees
that service of process in any such action or Proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail
(or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to such Person at its address determined in accordance with Section

	 	53	Indenture (USAA 2016-1)

    	 

    	

    

(v) to the

by jury in any action, Proceeding or counterclaim based on, or arising out of, under or in connection with this Indenture, any
other Transaction Document, or any matter arising hereunder or thereunder.

 

SECTION 11.20 Subordination
of Claims. The Issuer’s obligations under this Indenture are obligations solely of the Issuer and will not constitute
a claim against the Seller to the extent that the Issuer does not have funds sufficient to make payment of such obligations. In
furtherance of and not in derogation of the foregoing, each of the Owner Trustee (in its individual capacity and as the Owner Trustee),
by accepting the benefits of this Indenture, the Certificateholder, by accepting the Certificate, and the Indenture Trustee (in
its individual capacity and as Indenture Trustee), by entering into this Indenture, and each Noteholder, each Note Owner, by accepting
the benefits of this Indenture, hereby acknowledges and agrees that such Person has no right, title or interest in or to the Other
Assets of the Seller. To the extent that, notwithstanding the agreements and provisions contained in the preceding sentence, each
of the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, each Noteholder or Note Owner and the Certificateholder either (i) asserts an interest
or claim to, or benefit from, Other Assets, or (ii) is deemed to have any such interest, claim to, or benefit in or from Other
Assets, whether by operation of law, legal process, pursuant to applicable provisions of insolvency laws or otherwise (including
by virtue of Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or any successor provision having similar effect under the Bankruptcy Code),
then such Person further acknowledges and agrees that any such interest, claim or benefit in or from Other Assets is and will be
expressly subordinated to the indefeasible payment in full, which, under the terms of the relevant documents relating to the securitization
or conveyance of such Other Assets, are entitled to be paid from, entitled to the benefits of, or otherwise secured by such Other
Assets (whether or not any such entitlement or security interest is legally perfected or otherwise entitled to a priority of distributions
or application under applicable law, including insolvency laws, and whether or not asserted against the Seller), including the
payment of post-petition interest on such other obligations and liabilities. This subordination agreement will be deemed a subordination
agreement within the meaning of Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code. Each of the Indenture Trustee (in its individual capacity
and as the Indenture Trustee), by entering into or accepting this Indenture, the Certificateholder, by accepting the Certificate,
and the Owner Trustee, and each Noteholder or Note Owner, by accepting the benefits of this Indenture, hereby further acknowledges
and agrees that no adequate remedy at law exists for a breach of this Section and the terms of this Section may be enforced by
an action for specific performance. The provisions of this Section will be for the third party benefit of those entitled to rely
thereon and will survive the termination of this Indenture.

 

SECTION 11.21 Limitation
of Liability of Owner Trustee. It is expressly understood and agreed by and between the parties hereto that (i) this Indenture
is executed and delivered by

 

	 	54	Indenture (USAA 2016-1)

    	 

    	

    

Wells Fargo Delaware
Trust Company, National Association, not in its individual capacity but solely as Owner Trustee of the Issuer in the exercise of
the power and authority conferred and vested in it as such Owner Trustee, (ii) each of the representations, undertakings and agreements
made herein by the Issuer are not personal representations, undertakings and agreements of Wells Fargo Delaware Trust Company,
National Association, but are binding only on the Issuer, (iii) nothing contained herein shall be construed as creating any liability
on Wells Fargo Delaware Trust Company, National Association individually or personally, to perform any covenant of the Issuer,
either expressed or implied, contained herein, all such liability, if any, being expressly waived by the parties hereto and by
any Person claiming by, through or under any such party, and (iv) under no circumstances shall Wells Fargo Delaware Trust Company,
National Association be personally liable for the payment of any indebtedness or expense of the Issuer or be liable for the breach
or failure of any obligation, representation, warranty or covenant made or undertaken by the Issuer under this Indenture.

 

SECTION 11.22 Information
Requests. The parties hereto shall provide any information reasonably requested by the Servicer, the Issuer, the Seller or
any of their Affiliates, that such party has access to, and is not restricted from providing, in order to comply with or obtain
more favorable treatment under any current or future law, rule, regulation, accounting rule or principle.

 

SECTION 11.23 Inspection.
The Issuer agrees that, with reasonable prior notice, it will permit any representative of the Indenture Trustee, during the Issuer’s
normal business hours, to examine all the books of account, records, reports and other papers of the Issuer, to make copies and
extracts therefrom, to cause such books to be audited by Independent certified public accountants, and to discuss the Issuer’s
affairs, finances and accounts with the Issuer’s officers, employees, and Independent certified public accountants, all at
such reasonable times and as often as may be reasonably requested. The Indenture Trustee shall and shall cause its representatives
to hold in confidence all such information except to the extent disclosure may be required by law (and all reasonable applications
for confidential treatment are unavailing) and except to the extent that the Indenture Trustee may reasonably determine that such
disclosure is consistent with its obligations hereunder.

 

SECTION 11.24 Force
Majeure. The Indenture Trustee shall not incur any liability for not performing any act or fulfilling any duty, obligation
or responsibility hereunder if such delay or failure was caused by a force majeure or other similar occurrence.

 

SECTION 11.25 Patriot
Act. The parties hereto acknowledge that in accordance with Section 326 of the U.S.A. Patriot Act, the Indenture Trustee, like
all financial institutions and in order to help fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering, is required to obtain, verify,
and record information that identifies each person or legal entity that establishes a relationship or opens an account with the
Indenture Trustee. The parties to this Indenture agree that they will provide the Indenture Trustee with such information as it
may request in order for the Indenture Trustee to satisfy the requirements of the U.S.A. Patriot Act.

SCHEDULE I

 

PERFECTION REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES
AND COVENANTS

 

In addition to the representations,
warranties and covenants contained in the Indenture, the Issuer hereby represents, warrants and covenants to the Indenture Trustee
as follows on the Closing Date:

 

General

 

1.
The Indenture creates a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the applicable UCC) in the Receivables and
the other Collateral in favor of the Indenture Trustee, which security interest is prior to all other Liens, and is enforceable
as such against creditors of and purchasers from the Issuer.

 

2.
The Receivables constitute “chattel paper” (including “tangible chattel paper” and “electronic
chattel paper”) within the meaning of the applicable UCC.

 

3.
Each Receivable is secured by a first priority validly perfected security interest in the related Financed Vehicle in favor
of the Originator, as secured party, or all necessary actions with respect to such Receivable have been taken or will be taken
to perfect a first priority security interest in the related Financed Vehicle in favor of the Originator, as secured party.

 

4.
Each Trust Account constitutes either a “deposit account” or a “securities account” within the meaning
of the UCC.

 

Creation

 

5.
Immediately prior to the sale, transfer, assignment and conveyance of a Receivable by the Seller to the Issuer, the Seller
owned and had good and marketable title to such Receivable free and clear of any Lien and immediately after the sale, transfer,
assignment and conveyance of such Receivable to the Issuer, the Issuer will have good and marketable title to such Receivable free
and clear of any Lien.

 

Perfection

 

6.
The Issuer has caused or will have caused, within ten days after the effective date of the Indenture, the filing of all
appropriate financing statements in the proper filing office in the appropriate jurisdictions under applicable law in order to
perfect the security interest in the Receivables granted to the Indenture Trustee hereunder; and the Servicer, in its capacity
as custodian, has in its possession the original copies of such tangible chattel paper that constitute or evidence the Receivables,
and all financing statements referred to in this paragraph contain a statement that: “A purchase of or security interest
in any collateral described in this financing statement will violate the rights of the Secured Party.”

 

7.
With respect to Receivables that constitute tangible chattel paper, either:

 

	 	I-1	Indenture (USAA 2016-1)

    	 

    	

    

(i) all original executed
copies of each such tangible chattel paper have been delivered to the Indenture Trustee; or

 

(ii) such tangible chattel
paper is in the possession of the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee has received a written acknowledgment from the Servicer that
the Servicer (in its capacity as custodian) is holding such tangible chattel paper solely on behalf and for the benefit of the
Indenture Trustee; or

 

(iii) the Servicer received
possession of such tangible chattel paper after the Indenture Trustee received a written acknowledgment from the Servicer that
the Servicer is acting solely as agent of the Indenture Trustee.

 

8.
With respect to the Trust Accounts that constitute deposit accounts, either:

 

(i) the Issuer has delivered
to the Indenture Trustee a fully executed agreement pursuant to which the bank maintaining the deposit accounts has agreed to comply
with all instructions originated by the Indenture Trustee directing disposition of the funds in such Trust Accounts without further
consent by the Issuer; or

 

(ii) the Issuer has
taken all steps necessary to cause the Indenture Trustee to become the account holder of such Trust Accounts.

 

9.
With respect to the Trust Accounts that constitute securities accounts or securities entitlements, either:

 

(i) the Issuer has delivered
to the Indenture Trustee a fully executed agreement pursuant to which the securities intermediary has agreed to comply with all
instructions originated by the Indenture Trustee relating to such Trust Accounts without further consent by the Issuer; or

 

(ii) the Issuer has
taken all steps necessary to cause the securities intermediary to identify in its records the Indenture Trustee as the Person having
a security entitlement against the securities intermediary in each of such Trust Accounts.

 

Priority

 

10.
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 (i) relating to the conveyance of the Receivables
by the Bank to the Seller under the Purchase Agreement, (ii) relating to the conveyance of the Receivables by the Seller to the
Issuer under the Sale and Servicing Agreement, (iii) relating to the security interest granted to the Indenture Trustee under the
Indenture or (iv) that has been terminated.

 

11.
The Issuer is not aware of any material judgment, ERISA or tax lien filings against the Issuer.

 

12.
Neither the Issuer nor a custodian or vaulting agent thereof holding any Receivable that is electronic chattel paper has
communicated an “authoritative copy” (as such

 

	 	I-2	Indenture (USAA 2016-1)

    	 

    	

    

term is used in Section
9-105 of the UCC) of any loan agreement that constitutes or evidences such Receivable to any Person other than the Servicer.

 

13.
None of the tangible chattel paper or electronic chattel paper that constitute or evidence the Receivables has any marks
or notations indicating that they have been pledged, assigned or otherwise conveyed to any Person other than the Seller, the Issuer
or the Indenture Trustee.

 

14.
No Trust Account that constitutes a securities account or securities entitlement is in the name of any Person other than
the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee. The Issuer has not consented to the securities intermediary of any such Trust Account to comply
with entitlement orders of any Person other than the Indenture Trustee.

 

15.
No Trust Account that constitutes a deposit account is in the name of any Person other than the Issuer or the Indenture
Trustee. The Issuer has not consented to the bank maintaining such Trust Account to comply with instructions of any Person other
than the Indenture Trustee.

 

Survival of Perfection Representations

 

16.
Notwithstanding any other provision of the Indenture or any other Transaction Document, the perfection representations,
warranties and covenants contained in this Schedule I shall be continuing, and remain in full force and effect until such
time as all obligations under the Indenture have been finally and fully paid and performed.

 

No Waiver

to such Bankruptcy Remote Party or its debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect in
any jurisdiction or seeking the appointment of an administrator, a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official
with respect to such Bankruptcy Remote Party or any substantial part of its property or to consent to any such relief or to the

Noteholder or Note Owner, as applicable, shall to the extent permitted by applicable law, waive all right of trial by jury in any
action, Proceeding or counterclaim based on, or arising out of, under or in connection with this Note, the Indenture, any other
Transaction Document, or any matter arising hereunder or thereunder.

 

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

 

No reference herein
