and be paid to the Issuer on an Issuer Order; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look

Paying Agent with respect to such trust money shall thereupon cease; provided that the Paying Agent, before being required
to make any such repayment, shall at the 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 shall not be less than 30 days from the

or entity other than the Trustee to comply with instructions originated by any person or entity other than the Trustee, (C) such
deposit account and the property credited thereto will not be subject to any lien, security interest, encumbrance, or right of

(ix)            in
the case of each of paragraphs (i) through (viii) above, such additional or alternative procedures as may hereafter become appropriate
to grant a first priority perfected security interest in such items of Indenture Collateral to the Trustee, consistent with applicable
law or regulations.

 

In each case of Delivery contemplated herein,
the Trustee or Custodian as bailee for the Trustee, as applicable, shall make appropriate notations on its records indicating that
each such item of Indenture Collateral is held by the Trustee pursuant to and as provided herein. Effective upon Delivery of any
item of Indenture Collateral, the Custodian as bailee for the Trustee shall be deemed to have acknowledged that it holds such item
of the Indenture Collateral as Trustee hereunder for the benefit of the Noteholders. Any additional or alternative procedures for
accomplishing “Delivery” for purposes of paragraph (ix) of this Section 3.06(a) shall be permitted only
upon delivery to the Trustee or the Custodian, as applicable, of an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such procedures are appropriate
to grant a first priority perfected security interest in the applicable type of collateral to the Trustee or the Custodian, as
applicable.

 

(b)       The
Issuer intends the security interest Granted pursuant to this Indenture in favor of the Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders
to be prior to all other liens in respect of the Indenture Collateral other than Permitted Liens, and the Issuer shall take
or shall cause the Servicer to take all actions necessary to obtain and maintain at all times, for the benefit of the Trustee
on behalf of the Noteholders, a first lien on and a first priority, perfected security interest in the Indenture Collateral,
subject to any Permitted Liens with respect thereto. In connection therewith, pursuant to Section 2.09 of the Sale and
Servicing Agreement, the Issuer shall cause to be delivered into the possession of the Custodian as bailee of the Trustee as
pledgee hereunder, indorsed in blank, any “instruments” (within the meaning of the UCC), not constituting part of
chattel paper, evidencing any Loan which is part of the Indenture Collateral and all other portions of the Loan Files. The
Trustee acknowledges and agrees that (i) it holds the Loan Assets delivered to it under the Sale and Servicing Agreement for
the benefit of the Issuer, and (ii) it holds the Indenture Collateral delivered to it pursuant to this Indenture for the
benefit of the Noteholders. The Trustee agrees to maintain continuous possession of such delivered instruments as pledgee
hereunder and the Custodian will maintain continuous possession of the Loan Files until this Indenture shall have terminated
in accordance with its terms or until, pursuant to the terms hereof or of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Trustee is
otherwise authorized to release such instrument from the Indenture Collateral. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
this Section 3.06(b) or the other provisions of the Indenture, the parties hereto acknowledge that the Custodian is holding
the Loan Files as bailee on behalf of the Trustee. The Trustee makes no representations as to and shall not be responsible
for or required to verify or hold the Loan Files. The Issuer authorizes and shall cause to be filed a financing statement
that names the Issuer as debtor and the Trustee as secured party to ensure the perfection of the interest of the Trustee in
the Indenture Collateral (including describing the Indenture Collateral as “all assets of the Debtor whether now
existing or hereafter acquired”). The Issuer will or will cause the Servicer from time to time to prepare (or shall
cause to be prepared), execute and deliver all such supplements and amendments hereto and all such financing statements,
continuation statements, instruments of further assurance and other instruments, and will take such other action necessary or
advisable to:

 

    15

     

    

 

(i)             maintain
or preserve the lien and security interest (and the priority thereof) of this Indenture or carry out more effectively the purposes
hereof;

 

(ii)            perfect,
publish notice of or protect the validity of any Grant made or to be made by this Indenture;

 

(iii)           enforce
any of the Loans transferred to the Issuer as and to the extent commercially reasonable and in accordance with the Sale and Servicing
Agreement; or

 

(iv)          preserve
and defend title to the Indenture Collateral and the rights of the Trustee and the Noteholders in such Indenture Collateral against
the claims of all persons and parties.

 

Except as otherwise
provided in or permitted by the Sale and Servicing Agreement or this Indenture, the Trustee shall not remove any portion of the
Indenture Collateral held by it that consists of money or is evidenced by an instrument, certificate or other writing from the
jurisdiction in which it was held at the date of the most recent Opinion of Counsel delivered pursuant to Section 3.07
hereof (or from the jurisdiction in which it was held as described in the Opinion of Counsel delivered at the Closing Date pursuant
to Section 3.07(a) hereof, if no Opinion of Counsel has yet been delivered pursuant to Section 3.07(b)
hereof) unless the Trustee shall have first received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the lien and security interest created
by this Indenture with respect to such property will continue to be maintained after giving effect to such action or actions.

 

The Issuer hereby designates
the Trustee its agent and attorney-in-fact to execute any financing statement, continuation statement or other instrument required
to be executed pursuant to this Section 3.06, provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be obligated to execute or authorize
such instruments except at the written direction of the Issuer.

the opinion of such counsel, no such action is necessary to make such lien and security interest effective.

 

    16

     

    

 

(b)       On
or before June 30 in each calendar year, beginning in 2019, the Servicer on behalf of the Issuer will furnish to the Trustee and
the Rating Agency an Opinion of Counsel at the expense of the Issuer either stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, such
action has been taken with respect to any other requisite documents and with respect to the execution and filing of any financing
statements and continuation statements as is necessary to maintain the perfection of the lien and security interest created by
this Indenture and reciting the details of such action or stating that in the opinion of such counsel no such action is necessary
to maintain the perfection of such lien and security interest. Such Opinion of Counsel shall also describe any other requisite

counsel, be required to maintain the lien and security interest of this Indenture until June 30 in the following calendar year.

Note or interest therein who is a Qualified Institutional Buyer and a Qualified Purchaser designated by such Noteholder or Owner,
or (iii) to the Trustee for delivery to such Noteholder, Owner or prospective purchaser, in order to permit compliance by such
Noteholder or Owner with Rule 144A in connection with the resale of such Note or beneficial interest therein by such Noteholder
or Owner in reliance on Rule 144A unless, at the time of such request, the Issuer is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13
or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, or exempt from reporting pursuant to Rule 12g3-2(b) under the Exchange Act.

 

Section 3.09           Performance

(b)       The
Issuer may contract with other Persons to assist it in performing its duties under this Indenture, the other Transaction Documents
and the instruments and agreements included in the Indenture Collateral, and any performance of such duties by a Person identified
to the Trustee in an Officer’s Certificate of the Issuer shall be deemed to be action taken by the Issuer. Initially, the
Issuer has contracted with the Servicer to assist the Issuer in performing its duties under this Indenture, the other Transaction
Documents and the instruments and agreements included in the Indenture Collateral.

 

(c)       The
Issuer will not take any action or permit any action to be taken by others which would release any Person from any of such Person’s
covenants or obligations under any of the documents relating to the Loans or under any instrument included in the Indenture Collateral,
or which would result in the amendment, hypothecation, subordination, termination or discharge of, or impair the validity or effectiveness
of, any of the documents relating to the Loans or any such instrument, except such actions as the Servicer is expressly permitted
to take in the Transaction Documents.

 

    17

     

    

 

(d)       If
a Responsible Officer of the Issuer shall have knowledge of the occurrence of a Servicer Default, the Issuer shall promptly notify
in writing the Trustee and the Rating Agency thereof, and shall specify in such notice the action, if any, the Issuer is taking
in respect of such Servicer Default. If such Servicer Default arises from the failure of the Servicer to perform any of its duties
or obligations under the Sale and Servicing Agreement with respect to the Indenture Collateral, the Issuer may remedy such failure.
So long as any such Servicer Default shall be continuing, the Trustee may exercise its remedies set forth in Section 8.02
of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. Unless granted or permitted by the Holders of the Notes to the extent provided in Article VIII
of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Issuer may not waive any such Servicer Default or terminate the rights and powers of the
Servicer under the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

Article IV

THE NOTES; SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE

 

Section 4.01        The
Notes.

 

The Notes shall be
issued as Physical Notes.

 

The Notes shall, on
original issue, be executed on behalf of the Issuer and authenticated and delivered by the Trustee upon receipt of an Issuer Order.

 

Section 4.02        Registration
of Transfer and Exchange of Notes.

 

(a)       The
Trustee shall cause to be kept a Note 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 and exchanges of
Notes as herein provided. The Trustee shall be “Note Registrar” for the purpose of registering Notes and transfers
of Notes as herein provided. The Note Register shall contain the name, note numbers and remittance instructions.

 

(b)       Each
Note shall be issued in minimum denominations of not less than the Minimum Denomination, so that on the Closing Date the sum of
the denominations of all outstanding Notes shall equal an amount up to the Commitment Amount. On the Closing Date and pursuant
to an Issuer Order, the Trustee will execute and authenticate Physical Notes all in an aggregate principal amount that shall equal
the Commitment Amount.

 

(c)       The
maximum Aggregate Outstanding Note Balance shall be the Commitment Amount.

 

(d)       The
Trustee, the Note Registrar, the Servicer, the Paying Agent and the Issuer shall recognize the Holders of the Physical Notes as
Noteholders hereunder.

 

(e)       Upon
surrender for registration of transfer of any Note at the office of the Note Registrar and, upon satisfaction of the conditions
set forth below, the Issuer shall execute, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, a new Note and of the same
aggregate Percentage Interest and dated the date of authentication by the Trustee. The Note Registrar shall maintain a record of
any such transfer and deliver it to the Issuer, Servicer or Trustee upon request.

 

(f)       At
the option of the Noteholders, Notes may be exchanged for other Notes in authorized denominations, upon surrender of the
Notes to be exchanged at the Corporate Trust Office. Whenever any Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the Issuer shall
execute the Notes which the Noteholder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Every Note presented or surrendered for
transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by wiring instructions, if applicable, in the form of Exhibit C hereto. The
preceding provisions of this section notwithstanding, the Issuer shall not be required to make and the Note Registrar shall
not register transfers or exchanges of Notes called for redemption.

 

    27

     

    

 

(g)       No
service charge shall be made for any transfer or exchange of Notes, but prior to transfer the Note Registrar may require payment
by the transferor of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer
or exchange of Notes.

 

All Notes surrendered
for payment, transfer and exchange or redemption shall be marked canceled by the Note Registrar and retained and destroyed in accordance
with its policies and procedures.

 

(h)       By
acceptance of a Physical Note, whether upon original issuance or subsequent transfer, each Holder of such a Note acknowledges the
restrictions on the transfer of such Note set forth in the Securities Legend and agrees that it will transfer such Note only as
provided herein. In addition, the following restrictions shall apply with respect to the transfer and registration of transfer
to a transferee that takes delivery in the form of a Physical Note:

 

(i)         The
Note Registrar shall register the transfer of an Physical Note if the requested transfer is being made to a transferee who has
provided the Note Registrar with a Rule 144A Certification or to a transferee who is an Affiliate of the Originator in a transfer
which otherwise complies with Section 4.02(j) hereof; or

 

(ii)       The
Note Registrar shall register the transfer of any Physical Note if (A) the transferor has advised the Note Registrar in writing
that the Note is being transferred to a Person that is both an Institutional Accredited Investor and a Qualified Purchaser; (B)
prior to the transfer the transferee furnishes to the Note Registrar a Transferee Letter; and (C) such transfer otherwise
complies with Section 4.02(j) hereof.

 

(i)        Subject
to the restrictions on transfer and exchange set forth in this Section 4.02, the Holder of any Physical Note may transfer
or exchange the same in whole or in part (in a Note balance amount or amounts not less than the applicable Minimum Denomination)
by surrendering such Note at the Corporate Trust Office, or at the office of any transfer agent, together with an executed instrument
of assignment and transfer satisfactory in form and substance to the Note Registrar in the case of transfer and a written request
for exchange in the case of exchange.

 

(j)        (i)
No transfer of any Note shall be made unless such transfer is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act
and any applicable state securities laws or is made in accordance with the Securities Act and such laws. No transfer of any
Note shall be made if such transfer would require the Issuer to register as an “investment company” under the
1940 Act. In the event of any such transfer, unless such transfer is made in reliance upon Rule 144A under the Securities Act
or Regulation S under the Securities Act or is a transfer of an Physical Note to an Affiliate of the Originator, (A) the
Trustee may require a written Opinion of Counsel acceptable to and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Trustee that such transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption, describing the applicable exemption and the basis therefor,
from said Act and laws or is being made pursuant to said Act and laws, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of
the Trustee, the Issuer, or the Servicer and (B) the Trustee shall require the transferee to execute a Transferee Letter
certifying to the Issuer and the Trustee the facts surrounding such transfer, which Transferee Letter or certification shall
not be an expense of the Trustee, the Issuer or the Servicer. The Holder of a Note desiring to effect such transfer shall,
and by accepting a Note and the benefits of this Indenture does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the Issuer, the
Servicer and the Initial Purchasers against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in
accordance with such federal and state laws. None of the Issuer, the Trustee, or the Servicer is obligated to register or
qualify any Note under the Securities Act or any state or international securities laws.

 

    28

     

    

 

(ii)        If,
at any time, any Holder of any Note is not both a Qualified Purchaser and either (A) a Qualified Institutional Buyer, (B) an Institutional
Accredited Investor or (C) a non-U.S. Person that acquired such Note outside of the United States in compliance with Regulation
S (any such person, a “Non-Permitted Holder”), the Issuer shall, promptly after obtaining actual knowledge that
such person is a Non-Permitted Holder, send notice to such Non-Permitted Holder demanding that such Non-Permitted Holder transfer
its interest to a Person that is not a Non-Permitted Holder within 30 days of the date of such notice. If such Non-Permitted Holder
fails to transfer such Notes, the Issuer shall have the right, without further notice to the Non-Permitted Holder, to sell such
Notes or interests in such Notes to a purchaser selected by the Issuer that is not a Non-Permitted Holder on such terms and by
such means as the Issuer may choose in its sole discretion. The Holder of each Note, the Non-Permitted Holder and each other Person
in the chain of title from the Holder to the Non-Permitted Holder, by its acceptance of an interest in the Notes, agrees to cooperate
with the Issuer and the Trustee to effect such transfers. The proceeds of such sale, net of any commissions, expenses and taxes
due in connection with such sale, shall be remitted to the Non-Permitted Holder.

 

(k)       No
Note, or any interest therein, may be acquired directly or indirectly by, for, on behalf of or with any assets of an employee benefit
plan as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA that is subject to Title I of ERISA, any plan described in and subject to Section 4975
of the Code (collectively, a “Plan”) or governmental, non-U.S. or church plan or arrangement subject to any
federal, state, local or non-U.S. law or regulation substantively similar or of similar effect to the foregoing provisions of ERISA
or the Code (“Similar Law”) unless it represents or is deemed to represent that its acquisition and holding
of the Note will not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975
of the Code by reason of any of Section 408(b)(17) of ERISA or Section 4975(d)(20) of the Code, Prohibited Transaction
Class Exemption (“PTCE”) 96-23, PTCE 95-60, PTCE 91-38, PTCE 90-1, PTCE 84-14, each as amended, or an exemption
similar to the foregoing exemptions or, in the case of a governmental, non-U.S. or church plan or arrangement subject to Similar
Law, will not constitute or result in a non-exempt violation of Similar Law. Such representation shall be made in a certification
from the transferee to the Trustee.

 

(l)        The
Trustee and Note Registrar shall not be responsible for ascertaining whether any transfer complies with, or otherwise
monitoring or determining compliance with, the requirements or terms of the Securities Act, applicable state or international
securities laws, ERISA, the Code or the 1940 Act; except that if a transfer certificate or opinion is specifically required
by the terms of this Section to be provided to the Trustee or the Note Registrar by a prospective transferee or
transferor, the Trustee or Note Registrar, as applicable, shall be under a duty to receive and examine the same to determine
whether it conforms substantially on its face to the applicable requirements of this Section 4.02.

 

    29

     

    

 

(m)      Any
Note may be cancelled by the Note Registrar without any notice to or approval of any Noteholder in accordance with Section 4.03
hereof or once such Note has been properly surrendered for (i) final payment, (ii) transfer and exchange or (iii) redemption. Any
Note acquired by the Issuer or otherwise surrendered for cancellation or marked as abandoned by Holder thereof will be cancelled
by the Note Registrar only upon receipt of written consent thereto from both the Servicer and the Majority Noteholders.

 

(n)       Each
Noteholder and each Owner of a Note shall be deemed to acknowledge that (i) none of the Issuer, the Servicer, the Trustee, the
Custodian, or any of their respective affiliates is acting as a fiduciary or financial or investment adviser for such Owner; and
(ii) such Owner has consulted with its own legal, regulatory, tax, business, investment, financial and accounting advisors to the
extent it has deemed necessary and has made its own investment decisions (including decisions regarding the suitability of any
transaction pursuant to the Indenture) based upon its own judgment and upon any advice from such advisors as it has deemed necessary
and not upon any view expressed by the Issuer, the Servicer, the Trustee, the Custodian or any of their respective affiliates.

 

(o)       Each
Noteholder shall be deemed to have acknowledged and agreed that (i) it may not transfer any portion of the Notes during the Investment
Period unless the Issuer shall have consented to such transfer in its sole discretion and any such transferee shall have entered
into an agreement to make Advances under the same terms as the Initial Purchasers, such agreement to be in form satisfactory to
the Issuer in its sole discretion and (ii) following the Investment Period, each Noteholder may not transfer any portion of the
Notes unless the Issuer shall have consented to such transfer, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.

 

Section 4.03        Mutilated,
Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes.

 

If (a) any
mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee, or the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss
or theft of any Note, and (b) there is delivered to the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by it to hold
the Issuer and the Trustee harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Issuer, the Note Registrar or the Trustee that
such Note has been acquired by a protected purchaser, the Issuer shall execute, and upon its request the 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 pay such destroyed, lost or stolen Note when so due without surrender thereof. If, after the delivery of such
replacement Note or payment of a destroyed, lost or stolen Note pursuant to the proviso to the preceding sentence, a
protected purchaser of the original Note in lieu of which such replacement Note was issued presents for payment such original
Note, the Issuer and the Trustee shall be entitled to recover such replacement Note (or such payment) from the Person to whom
it was delivered or any Person taking such replacement Note from such Person to whom such replacement Note was delivered or
any assignee of such Person, except a protected purchaser, and shall be entitled to recover upon the security or indemnity
provided therefor to the extent of any loss, damage, cost or expense incurred by the Issuer or the Trustee in connection
therewith.

 

    30

     

    

 

Upon the issuance of
any replacement Note under this Section 4.03, the Issuer may require the payment by the Holder of such Note of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other reasonable expenses
(including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith.

 

Every replacement Note
issued pursuant to this Section 4.03 in replacement of any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall constitute
an original additional contractual obligation of the Issuer, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall
be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with
any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder.

 

The provisions of this
Section 4.03 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 4.04        Payment
of Principal and Interest; Defaulted Interest.

 

(a)       The
Notes shall accrue interest during each Interest Period as calculated in accordance with the Sale and Servicing Agreement. 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 is registered on the Record Date, in the manner
set forth in Section 7.04 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, except that the Redemption Price for any Note called for redemption
pursuant to Article X hereof shall be payable as provided in Section 4.04(b) or Article X hereof,
as applicable. The funds represented by any such checks returned undelivered shall be held in accordance with Section 3.03
hereof.

 

(b)       The
principal of each Note shall be payable on each Payment Date to the extent of funds available therefor in accordance with the Priority
of Payments as provided in the Sale and Servicing Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire unpaid principal amount
of the Notes shall be due and payable, if not previously paid, on the date on which an Event of Default shall have occurred and
be continuing, if the Trustee with the consent or at the direction of the Super-Majority Noteholders has declared the Notes to
be immediately due and payable in the manner provided in Section 5.02 hereof. All principal payments among the Notes
shall be made in the order and priorities set forth herein and in the Sale and Servicing Agreement and all principal payments on
the Notes shall be made pro rata to the Noteholders. The 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 the Issuer expects that the final installment of
principal of and interest on such Note will be paid; provided that the Issuer or Servicer shall have provided the Trustee
with timely notice of such expectation. Such notice shall be mailed or transmitted by facsimile 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 a redemption
shall be given to Noteholders as provided in Article X.

 

    31

     

    

 

Section 4.05        Tax
Treatment.

 

(a)       The
Issuer has entered into this Indenture, and the Notes will be issued, with the intention that, for federal, state and local income,
business and franchise tax purposes, (i) the Notes will qualify as indebtedness secured by the Indenture Collateral and (ii) the
Issuer shall not be treated as an association, taxable mortgage pool or publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation. The
Issuer, by entering into this Indenture, and each Noteholder, by the acceptance of any such Note (and each Owner, by its acceptance
of an interest in the applicable Note), agree to treat such Notes for federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes
as indebtedness of the Issuer. Each Holder of any such Note agrees that it will cause any Owner acquiring an interest in a Note
through it to comply with this Indenture as to treatment of indebtedness under applicable tax law, as described in this Section 4.05.
The parties hereto agree that they shall not cause or permit the making, as applicable, of any election under Treasury Regulation
Section 301.7701-3 whereby the Issuer or any portion thereof would be treated as a corporation for federal income tax purposes
and, except as required by the terms of this Indenture or applicable law, shall not file tax returns for the Issuer, but shall
treat the Issuer as a disregarded entity for federal income tax purposes (unless, pursuant to Section 4.05(b)(ii) hereof,
the Issuer is treated as partnership). The provisions of this Indenture shall be construed in furtherance of the foregoing intended
tax treatment.

 

(b)       All
payments made by the Issuer under the Notes will be made without any deduction or withholding for or on the account of any tax
unless such deduction or withholding is required by applicable law, as modified by the practice of any relevant governmental revenue
authority, then in effect. If the Issuer is so required to deduct or withhold it will provide notice to the Trustee of such requirement
promptly after a Responsible Officer becomes aware thereof, and the Issuer will not be obligated to pay to the holder of any such
Note any additional amounts in respect of such withholding or deduction.

 

(c)       Each
Holder and each Owner, by acceptance of such Note or its interest in such Note, shall be deemed to understand and acknowledge that
failure to provide the Issuer, the Trustee or any other party acting as Paying Agent with the applicable U.S. federal income tax
certifications (generally, an Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or successor applicable form) in the case of a person that is
a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code or an appropriate Internal Revenue
Service Form W-8 (or successor applicable form) in the case of a person that is not a “United States person” within
the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) may result in amounts being withheld from payments in respect of such Note.

 

(d)       Each
Holder of a Note or an interest therein, by acceptance of such Note or such interest, will be deemed to have agreed to provide
the Trustee with its Noteholder Tax Identification Information and, to the extent FATCA Withholding Tax is applicable, its Noteholder
FATCA Information. In addition, each holder of a Note will be deemed to understand that the Trustee has the right to withhold interest
payable with respect to the Note (without any corresponding gross-up) on any Owner that fails to comply with the foregoing requirements.

 

    32

     

    

 

Section 4.06       Satisfaction

hereof; (v) the rights, obligations and immunities of the Trustee hereunder (including the rights of the Trustee under Section 6.07
hereof and the obligations of the Trustee under Section 4.07 hereof) and (vi) the rights of Noteholders as beneficiaries
hereof with respect to the property so deposited with the Trustee payable to all or any of them. This Indenture shall cease to
be of further effect with respect to the Notes (and the Trustee, on written demand of and at the expense of the Issuer, shall execute
proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to the Notes) when:

 

(A)       either

 

(1)       all
Notes theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than (i) Notes that have been destroyed, lost or stolen and that have
been replaced or paid as provided in Section 4.03 hereof and (ii) Notes for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited
into trust or segregated and held in trust by the Issuer and thereafter repaid to the Issuer or discharged from such trust, as
provided in Section 3.03 hereof) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation (two Business Days prior to the final
Payment Date) pursuant to Section 4.02(v) hereof; or

 

(2)       all
Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation:

obligations of or obligations guaranteed by the United States of America (which will mature prior to the date such amounts
are payable), in trust for such purpose, in an amount sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on such Notes
not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation when due to the Legal Final Payment Date therefor, Redemption Date
(if Notes shall have been called for redemption pursuant to Article X hereof), as the case may be; and

 

(B)       the
Issuer has delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an opinion of counsel, which may be internal counsel

meeting the applicable requirements of Section 11.02 hereof and, subject to Section 11.02 hereof, stating
that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect
to the Notes have been complied with;

 

    33

     

    

 

(C)       the
Issuer has delivered to the Trustee an opinion of counsel to the effect that the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture will
not cause any Noteholder to be treated as having sold or exchanged its notes for purposes of Section 1001 of the Code; and

 

(D)       the
Issuer has made payment of all other sums due under this Indenture and the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

 

(b)       By
acceptance of any Note, the Holder thereof agrees to surrender such Note to the Trustee promptly upon such Noteholder’s receipt
of the final payment thereon or as otherwise provided in the Transaction Documents.

All moneys deposited
with the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.06 hereof shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions

the Holders of Notes for the payment or redemption for which such moneys have been deposited with the Trustee, of all sums due
and to become due thereon for principal and interest; but such moneys need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent
required herein or in the Sale and Servicing Agreement or required by law.

 

Section 4.08        Repayment
of Moneys Held by Paying Agent.

 

In connection with
the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to the Notes, all moneys then held by any Paying Agent other than
the Trustee under the provisions of this Indenture with respect to such Notes shall, upon demand of the Issuer, be paid to the
Trustee to be held and applied according to Section 3.05 hereof and thereupon such Paying Agent shall be released from
all further liability with respect to such moneys.

shall have been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Issuer by the Trustee, a written notice specifying such default
and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a notice of default hereunder;

 

(f)         any
representation, warranty, certification or written statement of the Issuer in this Indenture or any other Transaction Document
or in any certificate delivered under this Indenture shall prove to have been incorrect in any material respect when made, and

(i)         the
Trustee, on behalf of the Noteholders, shall fail to have a valid and perfected first priority security interest in the

Noteholders;

 

    35

     

    

 

(j)          failure
of the Issuer to be treated as an entity that is disregarded as separate entity from its owner for U.S. federal income tax purposes

(k)         a
Servicer Termination Event occurs and is continuing.

 

The Issuer shall deliver
to the Trustee and the Rating Agency, within two Business Days after the occurrence of an Event of Default, written notice in the
form of an Officer’s Certificate of any event which with the giving of notice and the lapse of time would become an Event
of Default under clause (f) or clause (g) above, its status and what action the Issuer is taking or proposes to take
with respect thereto.

 

Section 5.02        Acceleration
of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.

 

If an Event of Default
should occur and be continuing, (other than an Event of Default specified in Sections 5.01(g) or (h) hereof),
then and in every such case the Trustee may, and shall at the direction of the Super-Majority Noteholders, declare the Notes to
be immediately due and payable by a notice in writing to the Issuer (who shall promptly forward the same to the Rating Agency)
(and to the Trustee if given by Noteholders), and upon any such declaration the unpaid principal amount of the 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 Sections 5.01(g) or (h) hereof occurs, the unpaid principal amount of the Notes, together
with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, through the date of acceleration, shall automatically, and without any notice to the
Issuer, become immediately due and payable.

 

At any time after such
declaration or automatic occurrence of acceleration of maturity and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has
been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in this Article V provided, the Super-Majority Noteholders, by written
notice to the Issuer and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if:

 

(A)       the
Issuer has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay:

 

(i)        all
payments of principal of and interest on the Notes, and all other amounts that would then be due hereunder, upon the Notes if the
Event of Default giving rise to such acceleration had not occurred; and

 

(ii)       all
sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses, indemnities, disbursements and advances
of the Trustee and its agents and counsel; and

 

(B)        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 hereof.

 

    36

     

    

 

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

 

If the notes are accelerated
following an Event of Default specified in Sections 5.01(iii) or (iv) hereof, then on each Payment Date on or
after such Event of Default, payments will be made by the Trustee from all funds available to it in the same order of priority
as that provided for in Section 7.05(a) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

 

Section 5.03       Collection
of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee.

 

(a)       The
Issuer covenants that if (i) default is made in the payment of any interest on any Note, or (ii) default is made in the payment
of the principal of or any installment of the principal of any Note, when the same becomes due and payable, and in each case such
default continues for a period of two Business Days, the Issuer will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of
the Noteholders, the whole amount then due and payable on the Notes for principal and interest, with interest upon the overdue
principal, 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 Trustee and its agents and counsel.

 

(b)       In
case the Issuer shall fail forthwith to pay such amounts upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express
trust, with the consent of the Majority Noteholders and subject to the provisions of Section 11.15 hereof 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 the Notes and collect in the manner provided by law out of the Indenture
Collateral, wherever situated, the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable.

 

(c)       If
an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, and the Notes have been declared due and payable and such declaration and its consequences
have not been rescinded and annulled, the Trustee subject to the provisions of Section 5.04 and Section 11.15
hereof may, as more particularly provided in Section 5.04 hereof, in its discretion, proceed to protect and enforce
its rights and the rights of the Noteholders by such appropriate Proceedings as the 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 Trustee by
this Indenture or by law.

 

(d)       In
case there shall be pending, relative to the Issuer or any Person having or claiming an ownership interest in the Indenture
Collateral, Proceedings under Title 11 of the United States 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 Person, or in case of any other comparable judicial Proceedings relative to the Issuer, or to the creditors or property
of the Issuer, the 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 Trustee shall have made any demand pursuant to the
provisions of this Section 5.03, shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such Proceedings or
otherwise:

 

    37

     

    

 

(i)         to
file and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount of principal and interest, as applicable, 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 Trustee
(including any claim for reasonable compensation to the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee, and their respective agents, attorneys
and counsel, and for reimbursement of all reasonable expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and
each predecessor Trustee, except as a result of negligence or bad faith) 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 moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute all amounts received
with respect to the claims of the Noteholders and of the Trustee on their behalf;

 

(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 Trustee
or the Noteholders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer, its creditors and its property; and

 

(v)       to
participate as a member, voting or otherwise, of any official committee of creditors appointed in such matter;

 

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

 

(e)       Nothing
herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the 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 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 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 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 Trustee, each predecessor Trustee and their respective
agents and attorneys, shall be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes.

 

    38

     

    

 

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

 

Section 5.04        Remedies;
Priorities.

 

(a)       If
an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and the Notes have been declared due and payable and such declaration and its
consequences have not been rescinded and annulled, subject to the provisions of Section 11.15 hereof, the Trustee may
do one or more of the following (subject to the provisions of this Section 5.04 and Section 5.15 hereof):

 

(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 moneys adjudged due;

 

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

 

(iii)       exercise
any remedies of a secured party under the UCC and take any other appropriate action to protect and enforce the rights and remedies
of the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes; and

 

(iv)       sell
the Indenture Collateral or any portion thereof or rights or interest therein at one or more public or private sales called
and conducted in any matter permitted by law;

 

provided,
however, that the Trustee may not sell or otherwise liquidate the Indenture Collateral following and during the continuance
of an Event of Default unless (A) the Notes have been declared or have otherwise become immediately due and payable in accordance
with Section  5.02 hereof and such declaration or acceleration and its consequences have not been rescinded and annulled
and (B) either (1) the proceeds of such Sale or liquidation are sufficient to discharge in full all amounts then due and unpaid
upon the Notes for principal and interest, and all amounts due to the Trustee, Custodian, Backup Servicer and Lockbox Bank (2)
the Trustee determines that the Indenture Collateral would not be sufficient on an ongoing basis to make all payments on the Notes
as those payments would have become due had the Notes not been declared due and payable and the Super-Majority Noteholders (excluding
Notes held by the Originator, the Servicer or any of their respective affiliates) consent to such Sale or (3) 100% of the holders
of the outstanding Notes (excluding Notes held by the Originator, the Servicer or any of their respective affiliates) consent
to such Sale. In determining whether the proceeds of such Sale or liquidation distributable to the Noteholders and the other parties
entitled thereto are sufficient to discharge in full the amounts referenced in clause (B)(1) above, the Trustee may, but
need not, obtain, at the Issuer’s expense, and rely upon an opinion of an independent accountant or an investment banking
firm of national reputation as to the feasibility of such proposed action and as to the sufficiency of the expected sales proceeds
of the Indenture Collateral for such purpose.

 

    39

     

    

 

(b)       If
the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article V, it shall distribute such money in accordance with Section 7.05(c)
of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. The Trustee may fix a record date and distribution date (which may be a date other than a
Payment Date) for any payment to Noteholders pursuant to this Section 5.04. At least five days before such record date,
the Issuer shall mail to each Noteholder and the Trustee a notice that states the record date, the distribution date and the amount
to be paid.

 

Section 5.05        [Reserved].

 

Section 5.06        Limitation
of Suits.

 

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 and subject to the provisions of Section 11.15
hereof:

 

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

 

(ii)        prior
to the payment in full of Notes, the Noteholders evidencing 25% of the Aggregate Outstanding Note Balance have made written request
to the Trustee to institute such Proceeding in respect of such Event of Default in its capacity as Trustee hereunder;

 

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

 

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

 

(v)        prior
to the payment in full of the Notes, no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such
60-day period by the Holders of a majority of the Aggregate Outstanding Note Balance.

 

It is understood and intended that no one
or more of the Holders of Notes 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 Holders of Notes or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or
preference over any other Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided.

 

In the event the Trustee
shall receive conflicting or inconsistent requests and indemnity from two or more groups of Holders of Notes, each representing
less than a majority of the Aggregate Outstanding Note Balance then entitled to make such request, the Trustee shall take the action
requested by the Holders of the Notes representing the greatest percentage of the Aggregate Outstanding Note Balance to determine
what action, if any, shall be taken, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture.

 

    40

     

    

 

Section 5.07     Unconditional
Rights of Noteholders to Receive Principal and Interest.

 

Notwithstanding any
other provisions in this Indenture, but subject to Section 11.15(a) hereof, the Holder of any Note shall have the right,
which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and interest, if any, on such Note on or after the
respective due dates thereof expressed in such Note or in this Indenture and such right shall not be impaired without the consent
of such Holder.

 

Section 5.08     Restoration
of Rights and Remedies.

 

If the 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 Trustee or to such Noteholder, then and in every such case
the Issuer, the 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 Trustee and the Noteholders shall continue as
though no such Proceeding had been instituted.

 

Section 5.09     Rights
and Remedies Cumulative.

 

No right or remedy
herein conferred upon or reserved to the 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 Trustee or any Holder of any Note in the exercise of 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 Trustee or to the Noteholders may be exercised from time
to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Noteholders, as the case may be.

 

Section 5.11     Control
by Noteholders.

 

The Majority Noteholders
shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any Proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee
with respect to the Notes or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee; provided that:

 

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

 

(ii)      subject
to the express terms of Section 5.04 hereof, any direction to the Trustee to sell or liquidate the Indenture Collateral
shall be by Holders of the Notes representing the Majority Noteholders; and

 

(iii)     the
Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction.

 

Notwithstanding the
rights of Noteholders set forth in this Section 5.11, subject to Section 6.01, the Trustee need not take
any action that it determines might involve it in liability.

 

    41

     

    

 

Section 5.12     Waiver
of Past Defaults.

 

Prior to the declaration
of the acceleration of the maturity of the Notes as provided in Section 5.02 hereof, the Majority Noteholders may waive
any past Event of Default and its consequences except an Event of Default with respect to payment of principal or interest, as
applicable, on any of the Notes or in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which cannot be modified or amended without the
waiver or consent of each of the Holders of the Outstanding Notes affected thereby. In the case of any such waiver, the Issuer,
the 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 Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

 

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

 

Section 5.13     Undertaking
for Costs.

 

All parties to this
Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Note by such Holder’s acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any
court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit
against the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as 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 5.13 shall not apply to (a) any suit instituted
by the Trustee, (b) any suit instituted by any Noteholder, or group of Noteholders, in each case holding in the aggregate
more than 25% of the Aggregate Outstanding Note Balance or (c) any suit instituted by any Noteholder for the enforcement of the
payment of principal or interest, as applicable, on any Note on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Note and in
this Indenture.

 

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 Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

 

    42

     

    

 

Section 5.15     Sale
of Indenture Collateral.

 

(a)       The
power to effect any sale or other disposition (a “Sale”) of any portion of the Indenture Collateral pursuant
to Section 5.04 hereof is expressly subject to the provisions of Section 5.11 hereof and this Section 5.15.
The power to effect any such Sale shall not be exhausted by any one or more Sales as to any portion of the Indenture Collateral
remaining unsold, but shall continue unimpaired until the entire Indenture Collateral shall have been sold or all amounts payable
on the Notes and under this Indenture shall have been paid. The Trustee hereby expressly waives its right to any amount fixed by
law as compensation for any Sale.

 

(b)       Other

or any portion thereof, unless the Majority Noteholders consent to or such Noteholders as required by Section 5.11
hereof direct the Trustee to make such Sale and:

 

(i)       the
proceeds of such Sale or liquidation are sufficient to discharge in full all amounts then due and unpaid upon the Notes for principal
and interest, as applicable, to pay all amounts then due and payable to the Trustee, the Custodian, the Backup Servicer and Lockbox
Bank and to reimburse the Servicer for any outstanding unreimbursed Servicing Advances and Scheduled Payment Advances; or

 

(ii)       the
Trustee determines, at the direction of Noteholders representing at least 25% of the Aggregate Outstanding Note Balance, that the
conditions for liquidation of the Indenture Collateral set forth in Section 5.04 hereof are satisfied (in making any
such determination, the Trustee may rely upon an opinion of an Independent investment banking firm obtained and delivered as provided
in Section 5.04 hereof).

 

(c)       In
connection with a Sale of all or any portion of the Indenture Collateral:

 

(i)       other
than in the case of a Sale of any Loan as contemplated by the Sale and Servicing Agreement, any Holder or Holders of Notes may
bid for and purchase the property offered for Sale, and upon compliance with the terms of Sale may hold, retain and possess and
dispose of such property, without further accountability, and may, in paying the purchase money therefor, deliver any Notes or
claims for interest thereon in lieu of cash up to the amount which shall, upon distribution of the net proceeds of such Sale, be
payable thereon, and such Notes, in case the amounts so payable thereon shall be less than the amount due thereon, shall be returned
to the Holders thereof after being appropriately stamped to show such partial payment;

 

    43

     

    

 

(ii)       other
than in the case of a Sale of any Loan as contemplated by the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Trustee may bid for and
acquire the property offered for Sale in connection with any Sale thereof, and, subject to any requirements of, and to the
extent permitted by, Requirements of Law in connection therewith, may purchase all or any portion of the Indenture Collateral
in a private sale, and, in lieu of paying cash therefor, may make settlement for the purchase price by crediting the gross
Sale price against the sum of (A) the amount which would be distributable to the Holders of the Notes as a result of such
Sale in accordance with Section 5.04(b) hereof on the Payment Date next succeeding the date of such Sale and (B)
the expenses of the Sale and of any Proceedings in connection therewith which are reimbursable to it, without being required
to produce the Notes in order to complete any such Sale or in order for the net Sale price to be credited against such Notes,
and any property so acquired by the Trustee shall be held and dealt with by it in accordance with the provisions of this
Indenture;

 

(iii)       the
Trustee shall execute and deliver an appropriate instrument of conveyance transferring its interest in any portion of the Indenture
Collateral in connection with a Sale thereof;

 

(iv)       the
Trustee is hereby irrevocably appointed the agent and attorney-in-fact of the Issuer to transfer and convey its interest in any
portion of the Indenture Collateral in connection with a Sale thereof, and to take all action necessary to effect such Sale;

 

(v)       the
Trustee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to maximize the proceeds of any such Sale of the Indenture Collateral;

 

(vi)       no
purchaser or transferee at such a Sale shall be bound to ascertain the Trustee’s authority, inquire into the satisfaction
of any conditions precedent or see to the application of any moneys; and

 

(vii)       all
proceeds received by the Servicer in connection with the liquidation or sale of the Indenture Collateral shall be deposited into
the Lockbox Account no later than two Business Days following receipt thereof.

 

Section 5.16     Action
on Notes.

 

The 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
Trustee or the Noteholders shall be impaired by the recovery of any judgment by the Trustee against the Issuer or by the levy of
any execution under such judgment upon any portion of the Indenture Collateral or upon any of the assets of the Issuer. Any money
or property collected by the Trustee shall be applied in accordance with Section 5.04(b) hereof.

 

Section 5.17     Performance
and Enforcement of Certain Obligations.

 

(a)       Promptly
following a request from the Trustee to do so, the Issuer shall take all such lawful action as the Trustee may request to compel

Issuer under or in connection with the Transaction Documents, and to exercise any and all rights, remedies, powers and privileges
lawfully available to the Issuer under or in connection with the Transaction Documents to the extent and in the manner directed
by the Trustee, including the transmission of notices of default to the Originator or the Servicer thereunder and the institution
of legal or administrative actions or proceedings to compel or secure performance by the Originator or the Servicer of each of
their obligations under the Transaction Documents.

 

(b)       If
a Servicer Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee, at the direction (which direction shall be in writing or by
telephone (confirmed in writing promptly thereafter)) of the Majority Noteholders, shall exercise all rights, remedies,
powers, privileges and claims of the Issuer against the Servicer under or in connection with the Sale and Servicing
Agreement, including the right or power to take any action to compel or secure performance or observance by the Servicer, of
its obligations to the Issuer thereunder and to give any consent, request, notice, direction, approval, extension or waiver
under the Sale and Servicing Agreement, and any right of the Issuer to take such action shall not be suspended.

Article VI

THE TRUSTEE

 

Section 6.01     Duties
of Trustee.

 

(a)       If
an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture

the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness

face to the requirements of this Indenture.

 

(c)       The
Trustee may not be relieved from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct,
except that:

paragraph does not limit the effect of paragraph (b) of this Section 6.01;

and (g) of this Section 6.01.

Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the Trustee may agree in writing with the Issuer.

 

    45

     

    

 

(f)       Money
held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law or the terms of this
Indenture or the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

 

(g)       The

its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or to honor the request
or direction of any of the Noteholders pursuant to this Indenture, unless such Noteholder or Noteholders shall have offered to
the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses, and liabilities that might be incurred by it in compliance
with the request or direction. Anything in this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the Trustee be liable
for special, indirect, punitive or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits).

provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall
be subject to the provisions of this Section 6.01.

(d)       The

its rights or powers; provided that the Trustee’s conduct does not constitute willful misconduct, negligence or bad
faith.

 

(e)       The
Trustee may consult with counsel, and the advice of counsel or an Opinion of Counsel with respect to legal matters relating to

Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or surety in respect of the performance of its powers and duties hereunder.

 

(h)       Except

the part of the Trustee to recalculate, evaluate or verify any report, certificate or information received by it from the Issuer
or Servicer or to otherwise monitor the activities of the Issuer or Servicer.

 

(i)       In
the event that the Trustee is also acting in the capacity of Custodian, Securities Intermediary, Paying Agent, Backup Servicer

(j)       The
Trustee shall not be required to take any action it is directed to take under this Indenture if the Trustee reasonably determines

Rights of Trustee.

 

The Trustee in its
individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or its Affiliates
with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Note Registrar, co-registrar, Paying Agent or co-paying agent may
do the same with like rights. However, the Trustee must comply with Section 6.11 hereof.

 

Section 6.04     Trustee’s
Disclaimer.

 

The Trustee shall not
be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture, the Sale and Servicing Agreement,
the Notes or any other Transaction Document, the validity or sufficiency of any security interest intended to be created or the

to each Noteholder and the Servicer (who shall promptly forward the same to the Rating Agency, for so long as any of the Notes
are Outstanding) notice of an Event of Default within 30 days after a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof
in accordance with Section 6.01 hereof.

 

    47

     

    

 

Section 6.06     Reports
by Trustee to Holders.

 

The Trustee shall deliver
to each Noteholder such information in its possession as may be required to enable such holder to prepare its federal and state
income tax returns. In addition, upon the Issuer’s or a Noteholder’s written request, the Trustee shall promptly furnish
information reasonably requested by the Issuer or such Noteholder that is reasonably available to the Trustee to enable the Issuer
or such Noteholder to perform its federal and state income tax reporting obligations.

 

The Trustee shall not
be responsible for any tax reporting, disclosure, record keeping or list maintenance requirements of the Issuer under Internal
Revenue Code Sections 6011(a), 6111(d) or 6112, including, but not limited to, the preparation of IRS Form 8886 pursuant to
Treasury Regulations Section 1.6011-4(d) or any successor provision and any required list maintenance under Treasury Regulations
Section 301.6112-1 or any successor provision.

 

Section 6.07     Compensation
and Indemnity.

 

The Issuer shall pay
to the Trustee on each Payment Date reasonable compensation for its services under this Indenture and the other Transaction Documents
pursuant to a separate agreement dated as of the date hereof between the Trustee and the Issuer. The Trustee’s compensation
shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Issuer shall reimburse the Trustee for all
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it, including costs of collection, in addition to the compensation for its
services. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee’s
agents, counsel, accountants and experts. The Issuer shall indemnify the Trustee and its officers, directors, employees, representatives
and agents against any and all loss, liability or expense (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by it in connection with the
administration of this trust and the performance of its duties hereunder, including the reasonable costs and expenses of defending
themselves against any claim, loss, damage or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of their powers or
duties under this Indenture or under any of the other Issuer Documents, including any legal fees or expenses incurred by the Trustee
in connection with the enforcement of the Issuer’s indemnification or other contractual obligations hereunder. The Trustee
shall notify the Issuer promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Issuer shall
not relieve the Issuer of its obligations. The Issuer need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or
expense incurred by the Trustee through the Trustee’s own willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith, except that the Trustee
shall not be liable (i) for any error of judgment made by it in good faith unless it is proved that the Trustee was negligent in
ascertaining the pertinent facts, (ii) for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with directions received
by it from the Holders of the Notes in accordance with the terms hereunder, or (iii) for interest on any money received by it except
as the Trustee and the Issuer may agree in writing. The Issuer shall assume (with the consent of the Trustee, such consent not
to be unreasonably withheld) the defense of claim for indemnification hereunder and any settlement of any such claim and pay all
expenses in connection therewith, including reasonable counsel fees. If the consent of the Trustee required in the immediately
preceding sentence is unreasonably withheld, the Issuer is relieved of its indemnification obligations hereunder with respect thereto.
The obligations of the Issuer set forth in this Section 6.07 are subject in all respects to Section 11.15(b)
hereof.

 

    48

     

    

 

The Trustee hereby
agrees not to cause the filing of a petition in bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, receivership, conservatorship
or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect against the Issuer for the non-payment to the Trustee of any amounts provided
by this Section 6.07 until at least one year and one day, or, if longer, the applicable preference period then in effect,
after the payment in full of all Notes issued under this Indenture.

 

The amounts payable
to the Trustee pursuant to this Section 6.07 shall not, except as provided by Section 7.05 of the Sale and Servicing
Agreement, exceed on any Payment Date the limitation on the amount thereof described in the Priority of Payments for such Payment
Date and in the definition of Administrative Expenses in the Sale and Servicing Agreement; provided that (i) the Trustee shall
not institute any proceeding for payment of any amount payable hereunder except in connection with an action pursuant to Section 5.03
or 5.04 hereof for the enforcement of the lien of this Indenture for the benefit of the Noteholders and (ii) the Trustee
may only seek to enforce payment of such amounts in conjunction with the enforcement of the rights of the Noteholders in the manner
set forth in Section 5.04 hereof.

 

The Trustee shall,
subject to the Priority of Payments, receive amounts pursuant to this Section 6.07 and Section 7.05 of the Sale
and Servicing Agreement, and only to the extent that the payment thereof would not result in an Event of Default and the failure
to pay such amounts to the Trustee will not, by itself, constitute an Event of Default. Subject to Section 6.08 hereof,
the Trustee shall continue to serve as Trustee under this Indenture notwithstanding the fact that the Trustee shall not have received
amounts due it hereunder and hereby agrees not to cause the filing of a petition in bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium,
receivership, conservatorship or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect against the Issuer for the nonpayment to the Trustee
of any amounts provided by this Section 6.07 until at least one year and one day, or, if longer, the applicable preference
period then in effect, after the payment in full of all Notes issued under this Indenture.

 

The Issuer’s
payment obligations to the Trustee pursuant to this Section 6.07 shall survive the discharge of this Indenture and
resignation or removal of the Trustee. When the Trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in
clauses (vi) or (vii) of the definition of “Event of Default” with respect to the Issuer, the expenses
are intended to constitute expenses of administration under Title 11 of the United States Code or any other applicable federal
or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.

 

    49

     

    

 

Section 6.08     Replacement
of Trustee.

 

No resignation or removal
of the Trustee shall become effective until the appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Section 6.08 and
that meets the criteria set forth in Section  6.11 hereof has become effective. The Trustee may resign with 30 days
prior written notice to the Issuer, the Noteholders and the Servicer. The Majority Noteholders or the Issuer, with the written
consent of the Majority Noteholders, may remove the Trustee with 30 days prior written notice to the Trustee in writing (a copy
of which notice shall promptly be provided by the Issuer to the Rating Agency). The Issuer shall remove the Trustee if:

 

(i)       the
Trustee fails to comply with Section 6.11 hereof;

 

(ii)       the
Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent;

 

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

 

(iv)       the
Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting; or

 

(v)       the
Trustee defaults in any of its obligations under the Transaction Documents and such default is not cured within 30 days after a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee receives written notice of such default.

 

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

 

A successor Trustee
shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Issuer. Upon the appointment becoming
effective, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all
the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. No successor Trustee shall accept appointment as provided in
this Section 6.08 unless at the time of such appointment becoming effective such Person shall be eligible under the
provisions of Section 6.11 hereof. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property (including all Indenture
Collateral) held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee and shall execute and deliver such instruments and such other documents
as may reasonably be required to more fully and certainly vest and confirm in the successor Trustee all such rights, powers, duties
and obligations.

 

If a successor Trustee
does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Issuer or the Majority
Noteholders may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

 

Notwithstanding the
replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 6.08, the Issuer’s obligations under Section 6.07
hereof shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.

 

Upon the appointment
of a successor Trustee as provided in this Section 6.08, the successor Trustee shall mail notice of such succession
hereunder at the expense of the Issuer to all Holders of Notes at their addresses as shown in the Note Register.

 

Section 6.09     Successor
Trustee by Merger.

 

If the 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 or banking association without any further act shall
be the successor Trustee; provided that such corporation or banking association shall be otherwise qualified and eligible
under Section 6.11 hereof.

 

In case at the
time such successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation to the 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 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 Trustee may authenticate such Notes either
in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor to the Trustee; and in all such cases such
certificates shall have the full force which it is anywhere provided for in the Notes or in this Indenture.

 

    50

     

    

 

Section 6.10     Appointment
of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.

 

(a)       Notwithstanding
any other provisions of this Indenture, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirement of any jurisdiction in which
any part of the Indenture Collateral may at the time be located, the Trustee shall have the power and may execute and deliver all
instruments to appoint one or more Persons to act as a co-trustee or co-trustees, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of
all or any part of the Indenture Collateral, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the
Noteholders, such interest to the Indenture Collateral, or any part hereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 
6.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. No co-trustee
or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor Trustee under Section 6.11
hereof and no notice to the Noteholders of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required under Section 6.08
hereof. No appointment of a co-trustee or a separate trustee shall relieve the Trustee of its duties and obligations hereunder.

 

(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 Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or
performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being understood that such separate trustee or co-trustee
is not authorized to act separately without the 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 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 Indenture 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 Trustee;

 

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

 

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

 

(c)       Any
notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate
trustees and co-trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or
co-trustee shall refer to this Indenture and the conditions of this Article VI. Each separate trustee and
co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its
instrument of appointment, either jointly with the 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 Trustee. Every such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee.

 

(d)       Any
separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time constitute the 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 Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment
of a new or successor trustee.

 

    51

the laws of any state or the United States, (b) be authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, (c) have a combined
capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000, (d) have unsecured and unguaranteed long-term debt obligations rated at least
Baa3 by Moody’s or an equivalent rating by Morningstar (if rated by Morningstar), and (e) be subject to supervision or examination
by federal or state authority. If such banking association publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to Applicable
Law or the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 6.11
its combined capital and surplus shall be deemed to be as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. In case
at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.11, the Trustee
shall give prompt notice to the Issuer (who shall promptly forward the same to the Rating Agency), the Servicer and the Noteholders
that it has so ceased to be eligible to be the Trustee.

Warranties and Covenants of the Trustee.

(d)       The
execution, delivery and performance by the Trustee of this Indenture and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a
party shall not (i) violate any provision of any law or any order, writ, judgment or decree of any court, arbitrator or
governmental authority applicable to it or any of its assets, (ii) violate any provision of the corporate charter or by-laws
of the Trustee or (iii) violate any provision of, or constitute, with or without notice or lapse of time, a default under, or
result in the creation or imposition of any lien on any properties included in the Indenture Collateral pursuant to the
provisions of, any mortgage, indenture, contract, agreement or other undertaking to which it is a party, which violation,
default or lien could reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the Trustee’s performance or ability to
perform its duties as Trustee under this Indenture and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party or the
transactions contemplated in this Indenture and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party.

 

    52

     

    

 

(e)       The
execution, delivery and performance by the Trustee of this Indenture and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party
shall not require the authorization, consent or approval of, the giving of notice to, the filing or registration with or the taking

the Trustee.

 

(f)       This
Indenture and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party have been duly executed and delivered by the Trustee and constitute
the legal, valid and binding agreements of the Trustee enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, subject to the effect
of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally
or the application of equitable principles in any proceeding, whether at law or in equity. The Trustee hereby agrees and covenants
that it will not, at any time in the future, deny that this Indenture and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party
constitute its legal, valid and binding agreements.

 

(g)       The
Trustee shall not take any action, or fail to take any action, if such action or failure to take action will materially interfere
with the enforcement of any rights of the Noteholders under this Indenture or the other Transaction Documents.

 

(h)       The
Trustee is not affiliated, as that term is defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act, with the Issuer.

The Trustee is hereby
directed and authorized:

 

(i)       to

If a Default occurs
and is continuing and the Trustee is deemed to have a “conflicting interest” (as defined in the TIA) as a result of
acting as trustee for the Notes, the Issuer, at its expense, shall appoint a successor Trustee for the Notes so that there will
be separate Trustees for each of the Notes. No such event shall alter the voting rights of the Noteholders under this Indenture
or under any of the other Transaction Documents.

Section 8.03     Officer’s
Certificate.

 

Except for releases
or conveyances required or permitted by the Sale and Servicing Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, the Trustee shall
receive at least two Business Days’ notice when requested by the Issuer to take any action pursuant to Section 8.05(a)
hereof, accompanied by copies of any instruments to be executed, and the Trustee shall also require, as a condition to such action,
an Officer’s Certificate, in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee, stating the effect of any such action, outlining
the steps required to complete the same, and concluding that all conditions precedent to the taking of such action have been complied
with and such action will not materially and adversely impair the security for the Notes or the rights of the Noteholders in contravention
of the provisions of this Indenture.

Upon Distribution to Noteholders.

 

Subject to Section 4.06
hereof, this Indenture and the respective obligations and responsibilities of the Issuer and the Trustee created hereby shall terminate

Section 8.05     Release
of Indenture Collateral.

 

(a)       Subject
to the payment of its fees and reasonable expenses, the Trustee may, and when required by the provisions of this Indenture shall,
execute instruments to release property from the lien of this Indenture, or convey the Trustee’s interest in the same, in
a manner and under circumstances that are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture, the Sale and Servicing Agreement
and the other Transaction Documents. No party relying upon an instrument executed by the Trustee as provided in Article IV
hereof shall be bound to ascertain the Trustee’s authority, inquire into the satisfaction of any conditions precedent, or
see to the application of any moneys. The Trustee shall not release any Loan from the lien of this Indenture in connection with
a sale of such Loan to an Affiliate of the Servicer or the Issuer without first receiving an Officer’s Certificate of the
Servicer in the form of Exhibit F to the Sale and Servicing Agreement. The Trustee shall make copies of any such Officer’s
Certificate available to any Noteholder upon written request of such Noteholder, subject to Section 11.01 hereof.

 

(b)       The
Trustee shall, at such time as (i) there are no Notes Outstanding and (ii) all sums due the Trustee pursuant to this Indenture
have been paid, release any remaining portion of the Indenture Collateral that secured the Notes from the lien of this Indenture.
The Trustee shall release property from the lien of this Indenture pursuant to this Section 8.05(b) only upon receipt
of a request from the Issuer accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that all conditions
precedent to such release have been satisfied.

 

    56

     

    

 

Section 8.06     The
Securities Intermediary.

 

(a)       There
shall at all times be one or more securities intermediaries appointed for purposes of this Indenture (the “Securities
Intermediary”). U.S. Bank is hereby appointed as the initial Securities Intermediary hereunder, and U.S. Bank accepts
such appointment.

 

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

 

(c)       It
is the intent of the Trustee and the Issuer that each Transaction Account shall be a securities account of the Trustee and not
an account of the Issuer. Nonetheless, the Securities Intermediary shall agree to comply with entitlement orders originated by
the Trustee without further consent by the Issuer or any other person or entity, and U.S. Bank as initial Securities Intermediary
agrees that, for so long as it is the Securities Intermediary hereunder, it will comply with entitlement orders originated by the
Trustee without further consent by the Issuer or any other person or entity. The Securities Intermediary shall covenant that it
will not agree with any person or entity other than the Trustee that it will comply with entitlement orders originated by any person
or entity other than the Trustee, and U.S. Bank as initial Securities Intermediary hereby covenants that, for so long as it is
the Securities Intermediary hereunder, it will not agree with any person or entity other than the Trustee that it will comply with
entitlement orders originated by any person or entity other than the Trustee.

 

(d)       Nothing
herein shall imply or impose upon the Securities Intermediary any duties or obligations other than those expressly set forth
herein and those applicable to a securities intermediary under the UCC and the United States Regulations (and the Securities
Intermediary shall be entitled to all of the protections available to a securities intermediary under the UCC and the United
States Regulations). Without limiting the foregoing, nothing herein shall imply or impose upon the Securities Intermediary
any duties of a fiduciary nature.

 

(e)       The
Securities Intermediary may at any time resign by notice to the Trustee and may at any time be removed by notice from the Trustee;
provided that it shall be the responsibility of the Servicer to appoint a successor Securities Intermediary and to cause
the Transaction Accounts to be established and maintained with such successor Securities Intermediary in accordance with the terms
hereof; and the responsibilities and duties of the retiring Securities Intermediary hereunder shall remain in effect until all
of the Collateral credited to the Transaction Accounts held by such retiring Securities Intermediary have been transferred to such
successor. Any corporation into which the Securities Intermediary may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated,
or any corporation resulting from any merger, consolidation or conversion to which the Securities Intermediary shall be a party,
shall be the successor of the Securities Intermediary hereunder, without the execution or filing of any further act on the part
of the parties hereto or such Securities Intermediary or such successor corporation.

Issuer and the Trustee, when authorized by an Issuer Order, may also, without the consent of any of the Holders of the Notes but
with prior notice to the Rating Agency (to be delivered by the Issuer) and the Servicer, enter into a supplemental indenture for
the purpose of adding any provisions to, or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of, this Indenture or of
modifying in any manner the rights of the Noteholders under this Indenture (other than as included in clauses (i) through

effective with the consent of each Holder of a Note. It shall not be necessary for the Noteholders to approve the particular form
of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof.

 

    59

     

    

 

Section 9.02     Supplemental

(a)       Except

to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such Act shall approve the
substance thereof.

 

(d)       Promptly
after the execution by the Issuer and the Trustee of any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Section 9.02, the

Article X

OPTIONAL REDEMPTION

 

Section 10.01     Optional
Redemption.

 

(a)       The
Issuer may (i) on any date after the Investment Period Termination Date, where the Aggregate Outstanding Note Balance divided by
the Aggregate Outstanding Loan Balance is less than or equal to 0.40, or (ii) upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, effect
an Optional Redemption, in whole but not in part, on any Redemption Date (such Redemption Date shall be a Payment Date to be specified
in a notice to be delivered as described in the second sentence of this Section 10.01(a)) by deposit in full of the
Redemption Price in the Distribution Account for distribution to the Holders of the Notes and other persons entitled thereto by
10:00 a.m. (New York, New York time) on the business day preceding the applicable Payment Date whereupon all such Notes shall be
due and payable on the applicable Payment Date, in connection with which the Issuer shall comply with the provisions of this Section 10.01
and Section 10.02 hereof. The Issuer will furnish notice of such election to the Trustee and the Rating Agency no later
than ten Business Days prior to the proposed Redemption Date.

 

    62

     

    

 

(b)       The

on the Redemption Date become due and payable at the Redemption Price with respect thereto and (unless such Redemption Price is
not paid) no interest shall accrue on such Redemption Price for any period after the date to which accrued interest is calculated
for purposes of calculating the Redemption Price. On the Redemption Date, upon deposit in full by the Issuer in the Distribution
Account of an amount equal to the Redemption Price, the Noteholders shall have no interest therein nor any claim to any distributions
in respect of the Indenture Collateral (other than the Transaction Accounts).

 

(c)       The
portion of the Redemption Price constituting payment of principal or the Make-Whole Amount, if applicable, of the Notes shall be
distributed to Noteholders in accordance with Section 7.05(b) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement and all other amounts included

(d)       The
Issuer may withdraw any notice of Optional Redemption or specify a new Redemption Date at any time prior to the proposed Redemption
Date set forth in any prior notice of Optional Redemption by providing written notice to the Trustee and the Rating Agency by no
later than the second Business Day preceding such Redemption Date. A withdrawal of such notice of Optional Redemption or the inability
of the Issuer to complete an Optional Redemption of the Notes will not constitute an Event of Default.

 

Section 10.02     Form

(a)       Notice
of redemption under Section 10.01 hereof shall be given by the Trustee by facsimile, electronic mail, overnight courier

(iv)       that

Article XI

MISCELLANEOUS

 

Section 11.01     Confidentiality.

 

(a)       No
Receiving Party shall use any Confidential Information except to the extent necessary to evaluate and monitor the transaction represented
by the Transaction Documents. Each Receiving Party agrees (and each Holder of a Note is deemed to agree) that it will make available
Confidential Information only to (i) its officers, employees, directors, affiliates, advisors, agents, shareholders, members, partners
and managers who have a need to know such Confidential Information for the purpose of evaluating or monitoring the transaction,
(ii) its accounting firms and legal counsel (and their respective officers, employees, directors, agents, affiliates and advisors)
and (iii) any prospective purchasers of a Note, in each case who have need to know such Confidential Information for the purposes
of modeling, surveilling, evaluating or monitoring the transaction (collectively, “representatives”), and that
all persons to whom such Confidential Information is made available will be made aware of the confidential nature of such Confidential
Information and agree to be bound by the restrictions imposed by this Indenture on the use of Confidential Information. This Section 11.01
shall constitute a confidentiality agreement for purposes of Regulation FD under the Exchange Act.

 

(b)       No
Receiving Party or any of its representatives will disclose any Confidential Information to any third party, except as may be required
by law or required or requested by any regulatory agency with authority over such Receiving Party or expressly permitted pursuant
to this Section 11.01.

 

(c)       Each
Receiving Party acknowledges and agrees that the breach or threatened breach of this Section 11.01 by it may result
in irreparable and continuing damage to the Disclosing Parties, for which there will be no adequate remedy at law. Accordingly,
each Receiving Party agrees that the Disclosing Parties shall be entitled, without prejudice, to all the rights and remedies available
to each of them, including an injunction or specific performance to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of any of the provisions
of this Indenture by an action instituted in a court having proper jurisdiction.

 

(d)       The
confidentiality provisions of this Section 11.01 shall remain in effect for a period commencing on the date hereof
and end two years after the Legal Final Payment Date.

 

(e)       If
any Receiving Party or any of its affiliates or representatives is required by legal process to disclose any of the Confidential
Information, such Receiving Party shall provide the Disclosing Parties with notice of such requirement so that the Disclosing Parties
may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy or waive compliance with the provisions of this Indenture unless such notice
is prohibited by statute, regulation, rule or court order. If a protective order or other remedy is not obtained, such Receiving
Party, its affiliates and representatives may, without violating this Indenture, disclose that portion of the Confidential Information
that such party is legally required to disclose.

 

(f)       Notwithstanding
the foregoing in this Section 11.01, all parties hereto agree that each of them and each of their managers,
officers, employees, representatives, and other agents may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind,
the tax treatment and tax structure of the transaction and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax
analyses) that are provided to any of them relating to such tax treatment and tax structure. “Tax treatment” and
 “tax structure” shall have the same meaning as such terms have for purposes of Treasury Regulation
Section 1.6011-4.

 

    64

     

    

 

Section 11.02     Form
of Documents Delivered to 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 or
opinion of a Responsible Officer of the Issuer may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion
of, or representations by, counsel, unless such officer knows that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to
the matters upon which the certificate or opinion is based are erroneous. Any such certificate of a Responsible Officer or Opinion
of Counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, an
officer or officers of the Servicer, the Issuer or any other appropriate Person, stating that the information with respect to such
factual matters is in the possession of the Servicer, the Issuer or such other Person, unless such counsel knows that the certificate
or opinion or representations with respect to such matters are erroneous.

 

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

 

Whenever in this Indenture,
in connection with any application or certificate or report to the 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 in all material respects, 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 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 hereof.

 

Section 11.03     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 Trustee, and, where it is hereby
expressly required, to the Issuer. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are
herein sometimes referred to as the “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 6.01 hereof) conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Issuer, if made in the
manner provided in this Section 11.03.

 

    65

     

    

 

(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 Trustee deems
sufficient.

 

(c)       The
ownership of Notes shall be proved by the Note Register; provided that in all cases except where otherwise required by law
or regulation, any act by a Holder of a Note may be taken by the Owner of such Note.

 

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

 

Section 11.04     Notices,
etc., to Trustee and Others.

 

(a)       Any
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Noteholders or other documents provided or permitted

Noteholders is to be made upon, given or furnished to or filed with:

    66

required to be given to the Rating Agency shall be in writing, personally delivered or mailed by certified mail, return receipt
requested, to Morningstar, at the following address: Morningstar Credit Ratings, LLC, 4 World Trade Center, 48th Floor,
150 Greenwich Street, New York, New York 10007, Attention: ABS Monitoring, Email: absmonitoring@morningstar.com; or as to each
of the foregoing, at such other address as shall be designated by written notice to the other parties; provided that no notice
shall be required to be given to Morningstar unless the Outstanding Notes is rated by Morningstar.

 

(c)       Delivery

above will be deemed effective: (i) if in writing and delivered in Person or by overnight courier service, on the date it
is delivered; (ii) if sent by facsimile transmission, on the date that transmission is received by the recipient in legible
form (it being agreed that the burden of proving receipt will be on the sender and will not be met by a transmission report generated
by the sender’s facsimile machine); or (iii) if sent by mail, on the date that mail is delivered or its delivery is attempted;
and if sent by email, on the date of transmission; in each case, unless the date of that delivery (or attempted delivery) or that
receipt, as applicable, is not a Business Day or that communication is delivered (or attempted) or received, as applicable, after
the close of business on a Business Day, in which case that communication shall be deemed given and effective on the first following
day that is a Business Day.

 

Section 11.05     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, by nationally recognized overnight courier or by 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, if any, 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 Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such a waiver.

 

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

 

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

 

    67

     

    

 

Section 11.06     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 Holder of a Note
providing for a method of payment, or notice by the Trustee or any other party acting as paying agent to such Holder, that is different
from the methods provided for in this Indenture for such payments or notices. The Issuer will furnish to the Trustee a copy of
each such agreement and the Trustee, at the expense of the Issuer, will cause payments to be made and notices to be given in accordance
with such agreements.

 

Section 11.07     Effect
of Headings.

 

The Article and
Section headings herein are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.

 

Section 11.08     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 Trustee in this Indenture shall bind its successors, co-trustees and agents.

 

Section 11.09     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 11.10     Benefits
of Indenture.

 

Except as otherwise
specifically provided herein, nothing in this Indenture or in the Notes shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto
and their successors hereunder, and the Noteholders, and any other party secured hereunder, and any other Person with an ownership
interest in any part of the Indenture Collateral, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture.

 

Section 11.11     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.

 

    68

     

    

 

Section 11.12     GOVERNING
LAW.

 

(a)       THIS
INDENTURE, EACH SUPPLEMENT AND THE NOTES 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.

 

(b)       EACH
PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT
OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS INDENTURE. Each party hereto (i) certifies
that no representative, agent or attorney of any other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party would
not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and (ii) acknowledges that it and the other parties
hereto have been induced to enter into this Indenture by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this Section 11.12(b).

 

Section 11.13     Counterparts.

 

This Indenture may
be executed in any number of counterparts (including by facsimile), 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 11.14     Issuer
Obligation.

 

No recourse may be
taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuer or the Trustee on the Notes or under this Indenture
or any of the other Transaction Documents or any certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith or therewith, against
(a) the Trustee in its individual capacity, (b) any of the Originator, the Servicer and any member of the Issuer or (c) any partner,
owner, beneficiary, stockholder, manager, member, officer, director, employee or agent of any of the parties identified in clauses
(i) and (ii) or of any successor or assign of any such Person.

 

Section 11.15     No
Petition; Limited Recourse.

 

(a)       The
Trustee, by entering into this Indenture, and each Noteholder, by accepting a Note, hereby covenant and agree that they will not
prior to the date which is one year and one day or, if longer, the preference period then in effect after payment in full of the
Notes rated by the Rating Agency, institute against the Issuer, or join in any institution against the Issuer of, any bankruptcy,
reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, or other proceedings under any United States federal or state
bankruptcy or similar law in connection with any obligations relating to the Notes, this Indenture or any of the other Transaction
Documents.

 

(b)       No
recourse shall be had against any officer, administrator, member, director, employee, security holder, holder of a beneficial interest
in or incorporator of the Issuer or their respective successors or assigns for the payment of any amounts payable under the Notes,
this Indenture or any other Transaction Document.

 

    69

     

    

 

Section 11.16     Inspection;
Confidentiality.

 

The Issuer agrees that,
on reasonable prior notice, it will permit any representative of the Trustee, during the Issuer’s normal business hours,
and in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with the Issuer’s normal operations, 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, in such reasonable manner, and as often
as may be reasonably requested. Subject to and in accordance with Section 11.01 hereof, the Trustee shall and shall
cause its representatives, its legal counsel and its auditors 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 Trustee may reasonably determine that such disclosure is consistent with its obligations hereunder and under Applicable Law.

 

Section 11.17     Reserved.

 

Section 11.18     Disclaimer.

 

Each Noteholder by
accepting a Note and by accepting the benefits of this Indenture acknowledges and agrees that this Indenture and the Notes represent
a debt obligation of the Issuer only and do not represent an interest in any assets (other than the Indenture Collateral) of the
Originator or any member of the Issuer (including by virtue of any deficiency claim in respect of obligations not paid or otherwise
satisfied from the Indenture Collateral and proceeds thereof).
