other obligations under this Agreement, the Administrator may enter into transactions or otherwise deal with any of its affiliates; provided, however, that the terms of any such transactions or dealings shall be in accordance with any
directions received from the Issuer or the Owner Trustee and shall be no less favorable to the Issuer than would be available from unaffiliated parties. 

(vi)         If requested by the Depositor for purposes of

the related rules

and regulations of the Commission. The Depositor shall not exercise its right to request delivery of information or other performance under these provisions other than in good faith, or for
purposes other than compliance with the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act. The Administrator acknowledges that interpretations of the requirements of
Regulation AB may change over time, whether due to interpretive guidance provided by the Commission or its staff, consensus among participants in the asset-backed securities markets, advice of counsel or otherwise, and the Administrator agrees to
comply with all reasonable requests made by the Depositor in good faith for delivery of information and shall deliver to the Depositor all information and certifications reasonably required by the Depositor to comply with its Exchange Act reporting
obligations, including with respect to any of its predecessors or successors. The obligations of the Administrator to provide such information shall survive the removal or termination of the Administrator as Administrator hereunder.

judgment of the Administrator are Non-Ministerial (as defined below), the Administrator shall not be under any obligation to take any action; and in any event shall not take any action unless the Administrator shall have received instructions from

interests of the Issuer. The Administrator shall be entitled to be reimbursed by the Issuer for any expenses or liabilities incurred without willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence in connection with Non-Ministerial Matters. 

(ii)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
this Agreement, the Administrator shall not be obligated to, and shall not, take any action that the Issuer or

the Owner Trustee (with the consent of Noteholders representing a majority of the Note Balance of the Notes Outstanding of the Controlling Class) directs the Administrator not to take on its
behalf.

or represent the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee in any way and shall not otherwise be deemed an agent of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee.

impose any liability as such on any of them, or (iii) be deemed to confer on any of them any express, implied or apparent authority to incur any obligation or liability on behalf of the others. 

7.        Other Activities of the Administrator.  Nothing herein
shall prevent the Administrator or its affiliates from engaging in other businesses or, in its sole discretion, from acting in a similar capacity as an Administrator for any other person or entity even though such person or entity may engage in
business activities similar to those of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee.

Trustee to such effect delivered to the Issuer.

 11.        Amendments. 

(a)        It shall be a condition to the execution and delivery of any amendment to
be entered into pursuant to this Section 11 that the Rating Agency Condition be satisfied with respect to such amendment. 

(b)        This Agreement may be amended by the parties hereto, with prior written
notice to the Rating Agencies and the prior written consent of the Noteholders representing a majority of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class, for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the
provisions of this Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Noteholders. 

(c)        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, this Agreement
may not be amended in any way that would: (i) materially and adversely affect the Owner Trustee’s or the Indenture Trustee’s, as applicable, own rights, privileges, indemnities, duties or obligations under this Agreement without the
prior written consent of such Person; or (ii) significantly change the permitted activities or powers of the Issuer even if such amendment would not have an adverse effect on the Noteholders, without the consent of the Holders representing at
least a majority of the Note Balance of the Notes Outstanding; provided, however, this Agreement may be amended without the consent of the Noteholders to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provision hereof that may be
defective or inconsistent with any other provision of this Agreement, to add or supplement any credit enhancement arrangement or to add any covenants, restrictions or obligations of the parties to this Agreement, or to make other changes that, in
the Opinion of Counsel, do not have a material and adverse effect on the interests of the Noteholders nor increase or reduce in any manner the amount of, or accelerate or delay the timing of collections on the Receivables or payments that are to be
made hereunder for the benefit of the Noteholders. The Indenture Trustee shall have the right to receive such Opinion of Counsel.

Administrator is bound hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be assigned by the Administrator without the consent of the Issuer or the Owner Trustee; provided, the
consent of the Indenture Trustee acting at the written direction of the Noteholders representing a majority of the Note Balance of the Notes Outstanding of the Controlling Class is obtained, which consent will not unreasonably be withheld
(a) to a successor administrator located outside the State of California if the tax advisers to the Issuer have advised the Administrator in writing that assignment of this Agreement to such successor is necessary in order to avoid the
imposition by the State of California of any tax on the gross income of the Issuer or on dealer intangibles deemed to be held by the Issuer as a result of the Issuer being considered to be located in California or (b) to a corporation or other
organization that is a successor (by merger, consolidation or purchase of assets) to the Administrator; provided, further, that any such successor organization described in clause (a) or (b) executes and delivers to the
Issuer, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee an agreement in which such corporation or other organization agrees to be bound hereunder by the terms of said assignment in the same manner as the Administrator is bound hereunder. Subject to the
foregoing, this Agreement shall bind any successors or assigns of the parties hereto. 
 Each of the parties hereto hereby
acknowledges, consents and agrees to any transfer (including assignment, mortgage, pledge or grant of a security interest) by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders in accordance with the terms of the Indenture of all of the
Issuer’s rights hereunder. 
 13.      GOVERNING
LAW.    THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE CHOICE OF LAW PRINCIPLES THEREOF (OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW
OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK), AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS. 

14.      Waiver of Jury Trial.    EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY
IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS INDENTURE, THE NOTES OR THE TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. 

15.      Submission to Jurisdiction.  Each of the parties hereto hereby
irrevocably and unconditionally: 
 (a)        submits for itself and its property
in any legal action relating to this Indenture or any documents executed and delivered in connection herewith, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the nonexclusive general jurisdiction of the courts of the State
of New York located in the Borough of Manhattan, the courts of the United States of America for the Southern District of New York and appellate courts from any thereof; 

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

(c)        waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any and all right to trial
by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Indenture or the transactions contemplated hereby.

 16.      Headings and
Cross-references.  The various headings in this Agreement are included for convenience only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of any provision of this Agreement. References in this Agreement to section names or numbers
are to such Sections of this Agreement unless stated otherwise. 

17.      Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed by the parties hereto in
any number of counterparts including by facsimile or other electronic transmission each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. 

18.      Severability.  Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any
jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. 

19.      Limitation of Liability of Owner Trustee.  Notwithstanding anything
contained herein to the contrary, this instrument has been executed by
[                                ] not in its individual capacity but solely in
its capacity as Owner Trustee of the Issuer and in no event shall
[                                ] in its individual capacity have any liability
for the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or other obligations of the Issuer hereunder, as to all of which recourse shall be had solely to the assets of the Issuer. For all purposes of this Agreement, in the performance of any
duties or obligations of the Issuer hereunder, the Issuer shall be subject to, and entitled to the benefits of, the laws and provisions of Articles VI, VII and VIII of the Trust Agreement. No recourse under any obligation, covenant or agreement
of the Issuer contained in this Agreement shall be had against any agent, independent contractor, or other Person acting on behalf of the Issuer (including the Administrator and the Owner Trustee) as such by the enforcement of any assessment or by
any legal or equitable proceeding, by virtue of any statute or otherwise: it being expressly agreed and understood that this agreement is solely an obligation of the Issuer as a Delaware statutory trust, and that no personal liability whatever shall
attach to or be incurred by any agent, independent contractor, or other Person acting on behalf of the Issuer (including the Administrator and Owner Trustee), as such, under or by reason of any obligations, covenants or agreements of the Issuer
contained in this Agreement, or implied therefrom, and that any and all personal liability for breaches by the Issuer of any of its obligations, covenants or agreements, either at common law or at equity, or by statute or construction, of every such
agent, independent contractor, or Person is hereby expressly waived as a condition of and in consideration for the execution of this Agreement. 

20.      Third-Party Beneficiary.  The Indenture Trustee on behalf of the
Noteholders is an express third-party beneficiary to this Agreement and is entitled to the rights and benefits hereunder and may enforce the provisions hereof as if it were a party hereto. 

  
 13 

 21.      Nonpetition
Covenants.  Notwithstanding any prior termination of this Agreement, the Administrator and the Indenture Trustee shall not, prior to the date which is one (1) year and one (1) day after the Notes have been Paid In
Full, acquiesce, petition or otherwise invoke or cause the Issuer to invoke the process of any court of government authority for the purpose of commencing or sustaining a case against the Issuer under any federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or
similar law or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other similar official of the Issuer or any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of the affairs of the Issuer.

 22.      Liability of Administrator.  Neither the Administrator nor any of
its directors, officers, employees or agents shall be under any liability to the Issuer, the Depositor, the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, or the Noteholders, except as provided in this Agreement, for any action taken or for refraining from
the taking of any action pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Administrator against any liability by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of its
duties. The Administrator and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Administrator may conclusively reasonably rely in good faith on the advice of counsel or on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any
Person respecting any matters arising under this Agreement or any other Basic Document. 

23.      Relocation.  If the Administrator’s acting as administrator of
the Issuer would cause a tax to be imposed by the State of California on the gross income of the Issuer or on dealer intangibles deemed to be owned by the Issuer, and if the Administrator does not assign this Agreement to a successor pursuant to
Section 12, the Administrator shall, if in its reasonable discretion it believes it necessary, relocate its trust administrative functions such that the Issuer shall not, as evidenced by an opinion of a nationally recognized California tax
counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Owner Trustee, acting at the direction of the Noteholders representing a majority of the Note Balance of the Notes Outstanding of the Controlling Class, be subject to said California tax on its gross income or
on any dealer intangibles. 
 24.      Patriot Act.  The parties hereto
acknowledge that in accordance with Section 326 of the USA PATRIOT Act,
[                                ] and CRB, like all financial institutions and in
order to help fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering, are required to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person or legal entity that establishes a relationship or opens an account. The parties to this Agreement
agree that they will provide [                                ] and CRB, as the
case may be, with such information as either may request in order for
[                                ] and CRB to satisfy the requirements of the USA
PATRIOT Act.

 RECEIVABLES PURCHASE AGREEMENT 

This RECEIVABLES PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made as of
[                ], 201[    ], by and between CALIFORNIA REPUBLIC BANK, a California corporation (in such capacity and for
purposes of this Agreement only, the “Seller”), and CALIFORNIA REPUBLIC FUNDING, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Purchaser”). 

WHEREAS, in the regular course of its business, motor vehicle retail installment sale contracts and motor vehicle loans secured in each case

 WHEREAS, Purchaser desires to purchase from Seller a portfolio of Auto Receivables (the “Receivables”); 

WHEREAS, Seller is willing to sell such Receivables to Purchaser; 

WHEREAS, Seller is selling such Receivables to Purchaser and Purchaser is buying such Receivables for the purpose of selling those Receivables
to California Republic Auto Receivables Trust 201[    ]-[    ] which will in turn issue notes and certificates backed by the cash flow from those Receivables in a transaction contemplated by the
parties to this Agreement and the other Basic Documents (as defined below) to be a “securitization” as that term is defined in 12 CFR §360.6 (the “FDIC Rule”). 

NOW, THEREFORE, in reliance upon the foregoing recitals, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants herein contained, the
parties hereto agree as follows: 
 ARTICLE I

[                        ], as Indenture Trustee, or in the Amended and Restated Trust Agreement, dated as of
[            ], 201[    ], between California Republic Funding, LLC, as Depositor, and

ARTICLE II 
 PURCHASE AND SALE OF
RECEIVABLES 
 Section 2.01.  Purchase and Sale of Receivables.  Effective as of the Closing Date and
immediately prior to the transactions pursuant to the Indenture, the Sale and Servicing Agreement, and the Trust Agreement, Seller does hereby sell, transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to Purchaser, without recourse (subject to the
obligations herein), all right, title and interest of Seller in and to the Conveyed Assets. 
 The sale, transfer, assignment, setting over
and conveyance made hereunder shall not constitute and is not intended to result in an assumption by Purchaser of any obligation of Seller to the Obligors, the Dealers or any other Person in connection with the Receivables and the other assets and
properties conveyed hereunder or any agreement, document or instrument related thereto. 
 It is the intention of the parties hereto that,
other than for federal, State and local income, single business or franchise tax purposes, the transfer and assignment of the Conveyed Assets on the Closing Date constitutes an absolute sale (and not a pledge to secure debt or other obligations of
the Seller) of the Conveyed Assets such that (i) the Conveyed Assets shall not be included in the bankruptcy estate of the Seller pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 541, (ii) the FDIC shall not, by exercise of its authority to
disaffirm or repudiate contracts under Section 13(e) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, reclaim, recover or recharacterize as property of the Seller any Conveyed Assets transferred by the Seller to Purchaser or disregard the separateness of
Purchaser or the Issuer from the Seller, and (iii) the transfer of Conveyed Assets pursuant to this Agreement shall comply with the requirements of 12 C.F.R. Section 360.6. If, notwithstanding the intention of Seller and Purchaser, such
conveyance is deemed to be a pledge in connection with a financing or is otherwise deemed not to be a sale (a “Recharacterization”), Seller hereby grants, and the parties intend that Seller shall have granted to the Purchaser, a first
priority perfected security interest in all of Seller’s right, title and interest in all of the Conveyed Assets and all proceeds of the foregoing, and that this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under Applicable Law and the
Purchaser shall have all of the rights and remedies of a secured party and creditor under the UCC as in force in the relevant jurisdictions. In the case of any Recharacterization, each of Seller and Purchaser represents and warrants as to itself
that each remittance of collections by Seller to Purchaser hereunder will have been (i) in payment of a debt incurred by Seller in the ordinary course of business or financial affairs of Seller and Purchaser and (ii) made in the ordinary
course of business or financial affairs of Seller and Purchaser 

  
 2 

 Effective as of the Closing Date, the Seller shall retain possession of the Receivable Files in
its capacity as Custodian. 
 Section 2.02.  Receivables Purchase Price.  In consideration for the Conveyed
Assets, Purchaser shall, on the Closing Date, pay to Seller the Receivables Purchase Price. The “Receivables Purchase Price” shall be
$[                      ], payable in cash. 

Section 2.03.  Expenses.  In connection with the purchase of the Receivables hereunder and the issuance and
sale of the Notes and placement of the Certificates, the Seller shall pay (or shall reimburse the Underwriter and the Placement Agent or any other Person to the extent that the Underwriter or the Placement Agent or such other Person shall pay), to
the extent any of the amounts below have not been paid by Purchaser pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement, including: (i) expenses incident to the preparing, printing, reproducing and distributing of the Prospectus and the Private
Placement Memorandum, (ii) the fees and expenses of qualifying the Notes and Certificates under the securities laws of the several jurisdictions and of preparing, printing and distributing any blue sky survey (including related fees and
expenses of counsel to the Underwriter and the Placement Agent), (iii) any fees charged by a Rating Agency in connection with the rating of the Notes, (iv) the fees of DTC in connection with the book-entry registration of the Notes and
Certificates, (v) the fees and disbursements of the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee and their respective counsels, (vi) the fees and disbursements of the accountants, and (vii) the fees and disbursements of the Underwriter and
Placement Agent and, as previously agreed upon, their counsel.

 ARTICLE IV 

SELLER’S COMPLIANCE WITH THE FDIC RULE 

Section 4.01.  Purpose. 

(a)        Seller and Purchaser acknowledge and agree that the Receivables sold and transferred to
Purchaser by Seller pursuant to this Agreement will be concurrently sold and transferred to the Issuer and the Issuer will concurrently issue Notes backed by the cash flow from the Receivables subject to the Indenture in a transaction intended to be
a securitization as that term is defined in the FDIC Rule. The Seller and Purchaser desire that the Receivables not be subject to reclamation, recovery, or recharacterization as assets of the Seller or the conservatorship or receivership estate upon
the institution of a conservatorship or receivership by the FDIC. The provisions of this Article IV are intended to ensure compliance by the Seller of the FDIC Rule. 

(b)        As used in this Article IV, but subject to the rules of interpretation specified in
Section 1.02, references to (i) the “sponsor” shall mean California Republic Bank, (ii) the “issuing entity” shall mean, collectively, the Purchaser in its capacity as the Depositor, and the Issuer, (iii) the
“servicer” shall mean the Servicer or Administrator, as applicable, (iv) “obligations” or “securitization obligations” shall mean the Notes, and (v) “financial assets” and “securitized financial
assets” shall mean the Receivables. 

  
 13 

 (c)        The purpose of this Article IV is to
facilitate compliance by the sponsor with the provisions of the FDIC Rule. The Seller, as sponsor, and the Purchaser, as an issuing entity acknowledge that the interpretations of the requirements of the FDIC Rule may change over time, whether due to
interpretive guidance provided by the FDIC or its staff, consensus among participants in the asset-backed securities markets, advice of counsel, or otherwise, and agree that the provisions set forth in this Article IV shall have the effect and
meanings that are appropriate under the FDIC Rule as such meanings change over time on the basis of evolving interpretations of the FDIC Rule. 

(d)        If any provision of the FDIC Rule is amended, or any interpretive guidance regarding the
FDIC Rule is provided by the FDIC or its staff, as a result of which Purchaser is advised by the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee that either have determined that an amendment to this Article IV is necessary or desirable, then the Seller agrees that
it will cause this Agreement to be amended in accordance with such FDIC Rule amendment or guidance, provided that the Purchaser or Trust delivers to the Indenture Trustee an Officer’s Certificate to the effect that (i) such amendment will
not have a material adverse effect on the Noteholders, or (ii) such amendment is required to remain in compliance with the FDIC Rule. 

Section 4.02.  Requirements of FDIC Rule.  As required by the FDIC Rule: 

(a)        Payment of principal and interest on the securitization obligations must be primarily based
on the performance of financial assets that are transferred to the issuing entity and, except for interest rate or currency mismatches between the financial assets and the obligations, shall not be contingent on market or credit events that are
independent of such financial assets. 
 (b)        The sponsor, issuing entity, and/or servicer, as
appropriate, shall make available to investors, information describing the financial assets, obligations, capital structure, compensation of relevant parties, and relevant historical performance data set forth below: 

(i)        On or prior to issuance of obligations and at the time of delivery of any
periodic distribution report and, in any event, at least once per calendar quarter, while obligations are outstanding, information about the obligations and the securitized financial assets shall be disclosed to all potential investors at the
financial asset or pool level, as appropriate for the financial assets, and security-level to enable evaluation and analysis of the credit risk and performance of the obligations and financial assets. Such information and its disclosure, at a
minimum, shall comply with the requirements of Regulation AB or any successor disclosure requirements for public issuances, even if the obligations are issued in a private placement or are not otherwise required to be registered; provided, however,
that information that is unknown or not available to the sponsor or the issuing entity after reasonable investigation may be omitted if the issuing entity includes a statement in the offering documents disclosing that the specific information is
otherwise unavailable; 
 (ii)       On or prior to issuance of obligations, the
structure of the securitization and the credit and payment performance of the obligations shall be disclosed, including 

  
 14 

 
the capital or tranche structure, the priority of payments and specific subordination features; representations and warranties made with respect to the financial assets, the remedies for and the
time permitted for cure of any breach of representations and warranties, including the repurchase of financial assets, if applicable; liquidity facilities and any credit enhancements permitted by the FDIC Rule, any waterfall triggers or priority of
payment reversal features; and policies governing delinquencies, servicer advances, loss mitigation, and write-offs of financial assets; 

(iii)        While obligations are outstanding, the issuing entity shall provide to
investors information with respect to the credit performance of the obligations and the financial assets, including periodic and cumulative financial asset performance data, delinquency and modification data for the financial assets, substitutions
and removal of financial assets, servicer advances, as well as losses that were allocated to such tranche and remaining balance of financial assets supporting such tranche, if applicable, and the percentage of each tranche in relation to the
securitization as a whole; and 
 (iv)        The nature and amount of compensation
paid to the originator, sponsor, rating agency or third-party advisor, any mortgage or other broker, and the servicer(s), and the extent to which any risk of loss on the underlying assets is retained by any of them for such securitization shall be
disclosed; the Issuer shall provide to investors while any obligations are outstanding any changes to such information and the amount and nature of payments of any deferred compensation or similar arrangements to any of the parties. 

(c)        Prior to the effective date of regulations required under Section 15G of the Exchange
Act, 15 U.S.C. 78a, et seq., added by Section 941(b) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (such regulations, the “Section 941 Rules” and such date, the “Section 941 Effective Date”), the sponsor
shall retain an economic interest in a material portion, defined as not less than five (5) percent, of the credit risk of the financial assets. This retained interest may be either in the form of an interest of not less than five
(5) percent in each of the credit tranches sold or transferred to the investors or in a representative sample of the securitized financial assets equal to not less than five (5) percent of the principal amount of the financial assets at
transfer. This retained interest may not be sold or pledged or hedged, except for the hedging of interest rate or currency risk, during the term of the securitization. 

(d)        The obligations shall not be predominantly sold to an Affiliate of the sponsor (other than
a wholly-owned subsidiary consolidated for accounting and capital purposes with the sponsor) or insider of the sponsor. 

(e)        The sponsor shall separately identify in its financial asset data bases the financial
assets transferred into any securitization and shall maintain an electronic or paper copy of the closing documents in a readily accessible form, a current list of all of its outstanding securitizations and issuing entities, and the most recent Form
10-K, if applicable, or other periodic financial report for each securitization and issuing entity. The sponsor shall make these records readily available for review by the FDIC promptly upon written request. 

(f)        To the extent serving as servicer, custodian or paying agent for the securitization, the
sponsor shall not comingle amounts received with respect to the financial assets with its own assets except for the time, not to exceed two business days, necessary to clear any payments received. 

  
 15 

 Section 4.03.  Effect of Section 941
Rules.  Section 4.02(c) shall not be construed to require the sponsor to retain any greater economic interest in the credit risk of the financial assets than is required to comply with the FDIC Rule and other Applicable Law.
Accordingly, upon the Section 941 Effective Date and thereafter, the sponsor shall be entitled to adjust the amount of credit risk that it retains, or the terms under which such credit risk is retained, to the greatest extent elected by the
sponsor, so long as the sponsor’s retention shall be in compliance with then Applicable Law. Within a reasonable time after the sponsor has so adjusted the amount or terms of the credit risk it retains, the sponsor shall give notice thereof to
the Noteholders, and each of the Seller and Purchaser, with the consent of the Indenture Trustee are authorized and entitled to amend Section 4.02(c), in accordance with and to the extent the Issuing Entity determines necessary or appropriate,
to reflect the requirements of the Section 941 Rules. 
 Section 4.04.  Actions Upon Repudiation.  In
the event that the Seller becomes the subject of an insolvency proceeding and the FDIC as receiver or conservator for the Seller exercises its right of repudiation as contemplated by paragraph (d)(4)(ii) of the FDIC Rule, the Servicer shall
determine whether the FDIC in such capacity will pay damages as provided in such paragraph (d)(4)(ii). Upon making such determination, the Servicer shall promptly, and in any event no more than one Business Day thereafter, so notify the Indenture
Trustee. The Servicer shall, thereafter, comply with the directions of the Indenture Trustee pertaining to such damages and the distribution of such damages. 

Section 4.05.  Notice. 

(a)        In the event that the Seller becomes the subject of an insolvency proceeding and the FDIC
as receiver or conservator provides a written notice of repudiation as contemplated by paragraph (d)(4)(ii) of the FDIC Rule, the party receiving such notice shall promptly deliver such notice to each of the Purchaser, the Seller, and the Indenture
Trustee. 
 (b)        If the FDIC (i) is appointed as a conservator or receiver of the Seller
and (ii) is in default in the payment of principal or interest when due following the expiration of any cure period hereunder or under the other Basic Documents, delivery of written notice to the FDIC requesting the exercise of contractual
rights hereunder and under the other Basic Documents shall be taken by the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture. 

Section 4.06.  Reservation of Rights.  Neither the inclusion of this Article IV in this Agreement nor the
compliance by any Person with, or the acknowledgment by any Person of, this Article’s provisions constitutes an agreement or acknowledgment by any Person that, in the case of an insolvency proceeding with respect to the Seller, a receiver or
conservator will have any rights with respect to the Collateral.

 ARTICLE V 

COVENANTS OF SELLER 

Section 5.01.  Protection of Title to Conveyed Assets.  Seller covenants and agrees with Purchaser as follows:

 (a)        Seller shall authorize and file such UCC financing statements and cause to be
authorized and filed such UCC continuation statements, all in such manner and in such places as may be required by Applicable Law fully to preserve, maintain and protect the interest of Purchaser, Owner Trustee, and the Indenture Trustee in the
Receivables and the proceeds thereof. Seller shall deliver (or cause to be delivered) to Purchaser file-stamped copies of, or filing receipts for, any document filed as provided above, as soon as available following such filing. In the event that
Seller fails to perform its obligations under this subsection, Purchaser, or the Indenture Trustee may do so, at the expense of such Seller. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Seller hereby authorizes the Purchaser, or the Indenture Trustee to
file a record or records (as defined in the applicable UCC), including financing statements, in all jurisdictions and with all filing offices as each may determine, in its sole discretion, are necessary or advisable to perfect the security interest
granted to the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement. Such financing statements may describe the collateral in the same manner as described herein or may contain an indication or description of collateral that describes such property in any other
manner as such party may determine, in its sole discretion, is necessary, advisable or prudent to ensure the perfection of the security interest in the collateral granted to the Purchaser herein. 

(b)        Seller hereby authorizes the Purchaser, or the Issuer, to the extent Seller has not done so
at their request, to execute and file in Seller’s name any document required by applicable law to change to lien holder of record as to any Financed Vehicle to the Issuer if the Purchaser, or the Issuer determine such change is necessary to
maintain the perfected security interest of the Issuer in that Financed Vehicle. 

(c)        Seller shall not change its name, identity or corporate structure or jurisdiction of
organization in any manner that would, could or might make any financing statement or continuation statement filed in accordance with paragraph (a) above seriously misleading within the meaning of the UCC, unless it shall have given Purchaser,
Owner Trustee, and the Indenture Trustee at least sixty (60) days’ prior written notice thereof and shall have promptly filed appropriate amendments to all previously filed financing statements or continuation statements. 

(d)        Seller shall give Purchaser, Owner Trustee, and the Indenture Trustee at least sixty
(60) days’ prior written notice of any relocation of its principal executive office or change in its jurisdiction or organization, if, as a result of such relocation, the applicable provisions of the UCC would require the filing of any
amendment of any previously filed financing or continuation statement or of any new financing statement and shall promptly file any such amendment or new financing statement. 

(e)        Seller shall maintain its computer systems relating to installment loan recordkeeping so
that, from and after the time of sale under this Agreement of its Receivables, Seller’s master computer records (including any backup archives) that refer to a Receivable shall 

  
 17 

 
indicate clearly the interest of Purchaser, the Issuer, and the Indenture Trustee in such Receivable and that such Receivable has been sold to Purchaser and by Purchaser to the Issuer and is
owned by the Issuer and has been pledged to Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture. Indication of Purchaser’s, Trust’s, and the Indenture Trustee’s interest in a Receivable shall be deleted from or modified on Seller’s
computer systems when, and only when, the related Receivable shall have been paid in full, repurchased by Seller or purchased by Servicer. 

(f)        If at any time Seller shall propose to sell, grant a security interest in or otherwise
transfer any interest in receivables to any prospective purchaser, lender or other transferee, Seller shall give to such prospective purchaser, lender or other transferee computer tapes, records or printouts (including any restored from backup
archives) that, if they shall refer in any manner whatsoever to any Receivable, shall indicate clearly that such Receivable has been sold to Purchaser, sold by Purchaser to the Issuer and pledged to the Indenture Trustee. 

(g)        Seller shall, upon receipt of reasonable prior notice, permit Purchaser, Owner Trustee, and
Indenture Trustee and their respective agents at any time during normal business hours to inspect, audit and make copies of and abstracts from Seller’s records regarding any Receivable. 

(h)        Upon request at any time Purchaser, Owner Trustee, or Indenture Trustee shall have
reasonable grounds to believe that such request is necessary in connection with the performance of its duties under this Agreement, Seller shall furnish to Purchaser, Owner Trustee, and Indenture Trustee, within thirty (30) Business Days, a
list of all Receivables (by contract number and name of Obligor) conveyed to Purchaser hereunder and then owned by the Issuer, and pledged to Indenture Trustee, together with a reconciliation of such list to the Schedule of Receivables and to each
of the Servicer’s Monthly Certificates furnished before such request indicating removal of Receivables from the Issuer. 

(i)         Seller covenants and agrees to deliver in kind upon receipt to the Servicer under the
Sale and Servicing Agreement all payments received by or on behalf of Seller in respect of the Receivables as soon as practicable after receipt thereof by Seller, but in no event later than two Business Days following such receipt. 

Section 5.02.  Other Liens or Interests.  Except for the conveyances hereunder, Seller will not sell, pledge,
assign or transfer to any other Person, or grant, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien on the Conveyed Assets or any interest therein, and Seller shall defend the right, title, and interest of Purchaser and the Issuer in and to the
Conveyed Assets against all claims of third parties claiming through or under Seller. 

Section 5.03.  Indemnification. 

(a)        Seller shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser, the Issuer, the Indenture
Trustee, the Backup Servicer, the Custodian, the Owner Trustee, the Noteholders and the Certificateholders from and against any and all costs, expenses, losses, damages, claims and liabilities arising out of or resulting from (i) any breach of
any of Seller’s representations and warranties contained herein, (ii) any action taken, or failed to be taken, by it in respect of any 

  
 18 

 
portion of the Receivables other than in accordance with this Agreement or the Sale and Servicing Agreement, or (iii) the failure of any Receivable, or the sale of the related Financed
Vehicle, to comply with all requirements of Applicable Law. 
 (b)        Indemnification under this
Section 5.03 shall include reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and expenses of litigation and shall survive payment of the Notes and the Certificate. The indemnity obligations hereunder shall be in addition to any obligation that Seller may
otherwise have. 
 Section 5.04.  Nonpetition Covenant.   Notwithstanding any prior termination of this
Agreement, the Seller shall not, prior to the date which is one year and one day after the termination of this Agreement with respect to the Issuer, acquiesce, petition or otherwise invoke or cause the Purchaser or the Issuer to invoke the process
of any court or government authority for the purpose of commencing or sustaining a case against the Purchaser or the Issuer under any Federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee,
custodian, sequestrator or other similar official of the Purchaser or the Issuer or any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of the affairs of the Purchaser or the Issuer and agrees that it will not cooperate
with or encourage others to file a bankruptcy petition against the Purchaser or the Issuer during the same period. This Section 5.04 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
