 REVERSE OF 2021-1 EXCHANGE NOTE 

This 2021-1 Exchange Note is one of the duly authorized issue of Exchange Notes, which
may be issued under the Credit and Security Agreement, to which Credit and Security Agreement and all Exchange Note Supplements that are supplemental thereto reference is made for a statement of the respective rights and obligations thereunder of
the Borrower, the Lender, the Servicer, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the 2021-1 Exchange Noteholders. This 2021-1 Exchange Note is subject to all
terms of the Credit and Security Agreement and the Exchange Note Supplement. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this 2021-1 Exchange Note, the terms of the Credit and Security Agreement and the
terms of the Exchange Note Supplement, the Exchange Note Supplement will prevail. 
 Interest on and principal of this 2021-1 Exchange Note will be payable in accordance with the priority of payments set forth in Section 5.1 of the Exchange Note Supplement. 

Principal of this 2021-1 Exchange Note will be payable on each Payment Date in an
amount equal to the Exchange Note Principal Payment Amount for such Payment Date. “Payment Date” means the twentieth (20th) day of each calendar month or, if any such day is not a
Business Day, the next Business Day, commencing March 22, 2021. 
 As described on the face hereof, the entire unpaid
principal amount of this 2021-1 Exchange Note will be due and payable on the Exchange Note Final Scheduled Payment Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire unpaid principal amount of this 2021-1 Exchange Note will be due and payable on the date on which an Exchange Note Default with respect to this 2021-1 Exchange Note has occurred and is continuing and the 2021-1 Exchange Noteholder has declared this 2021-1 Exchange Note to be immediately due and payable, or the 2021-1 Exchange Note has
automatically been declared immediately due and payable, in each case in the manner provided in the Credit and Security Agreement and the Exchange Note Supplement. 

Payments of interest on this 2021-1 Exchange Note on each Payment Date, together with
the installment of principal, if any, to the extent not in full payment of this 2021-1 Exchange Note, will be made either by wire transfer in immediately available funds, to the account of the 2021-1 Exchange Noteholder or an account designated by the 2021-1 Exchange Noteholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor if such 2021-1 Exchange Noteholder has provided to the Exchange Note Registrar appropriate written instructions at least five Business Days prior to such Payment Date or, if not, by check mailed first-class mail postage
prepaid to the 2021-1 Exchange Noteholder’s address as it appears on the Exchange Note Register prior to such Payment Date, except that the final installment of principal payable on this 2021-1 Exchange Note on a Payment Date or the Exchange Note Final Scheduled Payment Date will be payable only upon the presentation and surrender of this 2021-1 Exchange Note
in the manner set forth the Credit and Security Agreement. Such payments will be made without requiring that this 2021-1 Exchange Note be submitted for notation of payment. Any reduction in the principal
amount of this 2021-1 Exchange Note effected by any payments made on any Payment Date or due to a reallocation of any Collateral Lease Agreements and Collateral Leased Vehicle from the 2021-1 Designated Pool will be binding upon all future 2021-1 Exchange Noteholders of this 2021-1 Exchange Note and of any 2021-1 Exchange Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not noted 

  
 EA-6 

 
hereon. If funds are expected to be available, as provided in the Exchange Note Supplement and the Credit and Security Agreement, for payment in full of the then remaining unpaid principal amount
of this 2021-1 Exchange Note on a Payment Date, then the Administrative Agent will notify the 2021-1 Exchange Noteholder of the date on which the Borrower expects that
the final installment of principal of and interest on this 2021-1 Exchange Note will be paid not later than 5 days prior to such date. Such notice will specify that such final installment will be payable only
upon presentation and surrender of this 2021-1 Exchange Note and will specify the place where this 2021-1 Exchange Note may be presented and surrendered for payment of
such installment. 
 As provided in the Exchange Note Supplement, the principal amount of this 2021-1 Exchange Note may be decreased from time to time, in the manner and to the extent described in Section 2.6 of the Exchange Note Supplement. 

The transfer of this 2021-1 Exchange Note is subject to the restrictions on transfer
specified on the face hereof and to the other limitations set forth in the Credit and Security Agreement and the Exchange Note Supplement. Subject to the satisfaction of such restrictions and limitations, the transfer of this 2021-1 Exchange Note may be registered on the Exchange Note Register upon surrender of this 2021-1 Exchange Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency
designated by the Borrower pursuant to the Credit and Security Agreement, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Administrative Agent duly executed by the
2021-1 Exchange Noteholder hereof or the 2021-1 Exchange Noteholder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, with such signature guaranteed by an “eligible
guarantor institution” meeting the requirements of the Exchange Note Registrar, and thereupon a new 2021-1 Exchange Note in the same aggregate principal amount will be issued to the designated transferee.
No service charge will be charged for any registration of transfer or exchange of this 2021-1 Exchange Note, but the transferor may be required to pay a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental
charge that may be imposed in connection with any such registration of transfer or exchange. 
 The 2021-1 Exchange Noteholder, by accepting this 2021-1 Exchange Note acknowledges and agrees that (i) if an Insolvency Event occurs with respect to the Borrower, any claim
that the 2021-1 Exchange Noteholder may seek to enforce at any time against the Borrower will be limited in recourse to the 2021-1 Designated Pool and (ii) if,
notwithstanding clause (i), the 2021-1 Exchange Noteholder is deemed to have any claim against the assets of the Borrower other than the assets included in the 2021-1
Designated Pool, whether by operation of law, legal process, pursuant to insolvency laws or otherwise (including by virtue of Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code), such claim will be subordinate to the payment in full, including
post-petition interest, of the claims of the Lender and the holders of (A) all other Exchange Notes and (B) in the case of assets allocated to a Series Interest other than the Series CSA Interest, all other asset-backed securities, the
payments on which are derived primarily from collections on designated assets of the Borrower and all related hedging arrangements. 

THE RECITATION SET FORTH IN THE PRECEDING PARAGRAPH WILL BE DEEMED TO CONSTITUTE AN ENFORCEABLE SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT WITHIN
THE MEANING OF SECTION 510(A) OF THE BANKRUPTCY CODE. 

  
 EA-7 

 The 2021-1 Exchange Noteholder, by
accepting this 2021-1 Exchange Note, covenants and agrees that for a period of one year and one day (or, if longer, any applicable preference period) after payment in full of all obligations under the Credit

Note is issued with the intention that, for U.S. federal, State and local income, single business and franchise tax purposes, this 2021-1 Exchange Note will qualify as indebtedness of the Borrower. The 2021-1 Exchange Noteholder, by its acceptance of this 2021-1 Exchange Note, will be deemed to agree to treat this 2021-1 Exchange Note
for U.S. federal, State and local income, single business and franchise tax purposes as indebtedness of the Borrower. 

Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of this 2021-1 Exchange
Note, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and any agent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent may treat the Person in whose name this 2021-1 Exchange Note (as of the day of determination or as of

permitted by applicable law, none of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any such agent will be affected by notice to the contrary. 

The Credit and Security Agreement permits the amendment thereof (in any manner and for any purpose) by the Borrower, the
Collateral Agent, the Lender and the Administrative Agent so long as each Exchange Noteholder of an Outstanding Exchange Note has consented to such amendment. The Credit and Security Agreement also permits the amendment thereof to amend or waive
certain terms and conditions set forth therein without the consent of the Noteholders provided that certain conditions are satisfied. Any such consent by the 2021-1 Exchange Noteholder will be conclusive and
binding upon the 2021-1 Exchange Noteholder and upon all future holders of this 2021-1 Exchange Note and of any 2021-1 Exchange
Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this 2021-1 Exchange Note.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained, and of other good and valuable consideration, the

 ARTICLE I 

DEFINITIONS 

SECTION 1.1.    Definitions. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement that are not otherwise
defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in Appendix 1 to the 2021-1 Exchange Note Supplement or, if not defined therein, in Appendix A to the Credit and Security Agreement. 

ARTICLE II 
 TRANSFER OF THE
CONVEYED ASSETS 
 SECTION 2.1.    Transfer of the Conveyed Assets. 

(a)    Effective as of the 2021-1 Closing Date and immediately
before the transactions contemplated by the 2021-1 Exchange Note Transfer Agreement, the Lender sells and assigns to the Depositor, without recourse, all right, title and interest of the Lender, whether now
owned or hereunder acquired, in the following “Conveyed Assets”: 

(i)    the 2021-1 Exchange Note; 

(ii)    all of the Lender’s rights and benefits, as Exchange Noteholder of the 2021-1 Exchange Note under the 2021-1 Exchange Note, the Credit and Security Agreement, the 2021-1 Exchange Note Supplement and the 2021-1 Servicing Agreement; and 
 (iii)    all
proceeds, accounts, money, general intangibles, instruments, chattel paper, goods, investment property and other property consisting of, arising from or relating to the foregoing. 

(b)    In consideration for the Conveyed Assets, the Depositor will pay to the Lender an amount equal to
the net proceeds of the sale of the Notes in cash by federal wire transfer on the 2021-1 Closing Date. The Depositor and the Lender each represents and warrants to the other that the amount of cash paid by the
Depositor, together with the increase in the value in the Lender’s capital in the Depositor, is equal to the fair market value of the Conveyed Assets. 

  
 2 

 (c) The sale, transfer, assignment and conveyance of the Conveyed Assets
pursuant to this Agreement is without recourse, and the Lender does not guarantee payment on the 2021-1 Exchange Note or collection of any underlying asset included in the
2021-1 Designated Pool. 
 SECTION 2.2.    True
Sale. 
 (a)     The parties hereto intend that the sale, transfer, assignment and conveyance
of the Conveyed Assets hereunder constitutes a true sale and assignment of the Conveyed Assets such that any interest in and title to the Conveyed Assets would not be property of the Lender’s estate in the event the Lender becomes a debtor in a
case under any Insolvency Law. To the extent that the conveyance of any Conveyed Asset hereunder is characterized by a court or similar Governmental Authority as a financing (a “Recharacterization”), it is intended by the Lender and
the Depositor that the interest conveyed constitute a grant of a first priority perfected security interest under the UCC as in effect in the State of New York by the Lender to the Depositor to secure the payment of the sale price of the Conveyed
Assets to the Lender. The Lender does hereby grant to the Depositor a security interest in all of its rights, title and privileges and interest, whether now owned or existing or hereafter acquired or arising, in the Conveyed Assets and the parties
hereto agree that this Agreement constitutes a “security agreement” under all applicable law. In the case of any Recharacterization, each of the Depositor and the Lender represents and warrants as to itself that each remittance of 2021-1 Exchange Note Collections made to the Depositor will have been (i) in payment of a debt incurred by the Lender in the ordinary course of business or financial affairs of the Lender and the Depositor, and
(ii) made in the ordinary course of business or financial affairs of the Lender and the Depositor. 

(b)     The Lender makes the following representations and warranties to the Depositor in the event that,
notwithstanding the express intent of the parties, the sale, transfer, assignment and conveyance of the Conveyed Assets hereunder is not a true sale and assignment of the Conveyed Assets to the Depositor. The representations and warranties speak as
