its stockholders all of Genaera’s assets; 

  

	B.	Section 7.2(c) of the Liquidating Trust Agreement provides: “As far as reasonably practicable, the Trustee shall cause any written instrument creating an
obligation of the Trust Assets to include a reference to [the Liquidating Trust] Agreement and to provide that neither the Beneficiaries, the Trustee nor its agents shall be liable thereunder, and that the other parties to such instrument shall look
solely to the Trust Assets for the payment of any claim [under such instrument] or the performance thereof; provided that the omission of such provision from any such instrument shall not render the Beneficiaries, the Trustee or its agents liable,
nor shall the Trustee be liable to anyone for such omission”; 

  

	C.	The Trust has deemed it desirable to sell, assign, transfer and convey to Purchaser all of the Trust’s rights, title and interest in certain royalties and other
Purchased Assets (as defined herein) which relate to IL-9 (as defined in Section 1.02) and the related rights thereunder under the License Agreement and the Ludwig Agreements (each as defined in Section 1.01);

  

	D.	The Trust now holds all right, title and interest previously held by Genaera in the Ludwig Agreements and the License Agreement as well as all of the intellectual
property another assets of Genaera related thereto and the Trust, by its terms, cannot conduct ongoing business operations indefinitely; and

 iv 

 INDENTURE, dated as of February 12, 2010, between ALLY MASTER OWNER TRUST, a Delaware
statutory trust (the “Issuing Entity” or the “Trust”), and WELLS FARGO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking association, as trustee and not in its individual capacity (the “Indenture
Trustee”). 
 Each party agrees as follows for the benefit of the other party and for the equal and ratable benefit of
the Holders of the Notes and any Series Enhancers: 
 GRANTING CLAUSE 

The Issuing Entity hereby grants to the Indenture Trustee, as trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders and any Secured Series
Enhancers, all of the Issuing Entity’s right, title and interest (whether now owned or hereafter acquired) in, to and under the following (collectively, the “Master Collateral”): 

(i) the Receivables transferred to the Issuing Entity pursuant to the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement, including all Collateral
Security with respect thereto and all monies, instruments, investment property and other property distributed or distributable in respect of such Receivables (together with all interest, proceeds, Recoveries, earnings, income, revenue, dividends and
other distributions thereof); 
 (ii) all Eligible Investments and all monies, instruments, securities, security entitlements,
documents, certificates of deposit and other property from time to time on deposit in or credited to the Collection Account, the Series Accounts, the Cash Collateral Account and the Excess Funding Account and in all interest, proceeds, Recoveries,
earnings, income, revenue, dividends and other distributions thereof (including any accrued discount realized on liquidation of any investment purchased at a discount); 

(iii) all rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims of the Issuing Entity under or with respect to the Trust Sale and Servicing
Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (whether arising pursuant to the terms of such agreements or otherwise available to the Issuing Entity at law or in equity), including the rights of the Issuing Entity to enforce the Trust Sale and
Servicing Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and to give or withhold any and all consents, requests, notices, directions, approvals, extensions or waivers under or with respect to the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement and the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement; and 
 (iv) all present and future claims, demands, causes of action and choses in action regarding any
of the foregoing and all payments on any of the foregoing and all proceeds of any nature whatsoever regarding any of the foregoing, including all proceeds of the voluntary or involuntary conversion thereof into cash or other liquid property and all
cash proceeds, accounts, accounts receivable, notes, drafts, acceptances, chattel paper, checks, deposit accounts, insurance proceeds, condemnation awards, rights to payment of any kind and other forms of obligations and receivables, instruments and
other property that at any time constitute any part of or are included in the proceeds of any of the foregoing. 

 The foregoing grants are made in trust to secure (a) the Issuing Entity’s
obligations under the Notes equally and ratably without prejudice, priority or distinction between any Note and any other Notes, except to the extent expressly provided in the Notes, this Indenture or the related Indenture Supplements, (b) the
Issuing Entity’s obligations under any Series Enhancement Agreements entered into with any Secured Series Enhancers, but only to the extent expressly provided in such Series Enhancement Agreements, this Indenture or the related Indenture
Supplements, (c) the payment of all other sums payable under the Notes, this Indenture and the related Indenture Supplements, and (d) the compliance with the terms and conditions of the Notes, this Indenture, the related Indenture
Supplements and any Series Enhancement Agreements entered into with any Series Enhancers. 
 The Indenture Trustee, as indenture
trustee on behalf of the Noteholders and any Secured Series Enhancers, hereby acknowledges the foregoing grants, accepts the trusts under this Indenture in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture, and agrees to perform the duties herein
required to the end that the interests of the Noteholders and any Secured Series Enhancers may be adequately protected. 
 As
provided in any Indenture Supplement, the Issuing Entity may grant to the Indenture Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of the related Series or any related Series Enhancers, other collateral in addition to the Master Collateral (such other
collateral, the “Series Collateral” and, collectively with the Master Collateral, the “Collateral”). Any grants of Series Collateral pursuant to an Indenture Supplement, unless otherwise provided in such Indenture Supplement,
shall be made for the exclusive benefit of the Holders of the related Series (and any other Persons specified therein) and shall not secure in any manner the Issuing Entity’s obligations under any other Series of Notes or any other Person.

principal amount of such Variable Funding Series; (d) the Note Interest Rate for each Class of Notes of such Series (or method for the determination thereof); (e) the payment date or dates and the date or dates from which interest will
accrue; (f) the Distribution Date; (g) the method for allocating Collections to Noteholders; (h) the designation of any Series Accounts and the terms governing the operation of any such Series Accounts; (i) the Servicing Fee;
(j) the issuer and terms of any form of Series Enhancements with respect thereto; (k) the terms on which the Notes of such Series may be exchanged for Notes of another Series, repurchased by the Depositor or remarketed to other investors;
(l) the Legal Maturity Date; (m) the number of Classes of Notes of such Series and, if more than one Class, the rights and priorities of each such Class; (n) the extent to which the Notes of such Series will be issuable in temporary
or permanent global form (and, in such case, the depository for such global note or notes, the terms and conditions, if any, upon which such global note may be exchanged, in whole or in part, for Definitive Notes, and the manner in which any
interest payable on a temporary or global note will be paid); (o) whether the Notes of such Series may be issued in bearer form and any limitations imposed thereon; (p) the priority of such Series with respect to any other Series;
(q) whether such Series will be an Interest Reallocation Series and, if so, its Interest Reallocation Group designation; (r) whether such Series will be a Principal Sharing Series and, if so, its Principal Sharing Group designation;
(s) whether such Series will be an Excess Interest Sharing Series, and, if so, its Excess Interest Sharing Group designation; (t) whether such Series or subseries within such Series will be part of a Shared Enhancement Series and, if so,
its Shared Enhancement Series designation; (u) the obligations or rights, if any, of the Issuing Entity to redeem or purchase Notes of such Series or other redemption provisions and the prices at which, and the terms and conditions upon which,
Notes of such Series shall be redeemed or purchased; and (v) any other terms of such Series (the “Principal Terms”). 

The terms of each series of Notes as provided for in an Indenture Supplement are part of the terms of this Indenture. 

(ii) The Opinion of Counsel shall provide, in addition to all other requirements of such opinion: 

(A) that the form and terms of such Notes have been established by or pursuant to an Indenture Supplement in conformity
with the terms of this Indenture; 
 (B) that Notes in such form, when completed by appropriate insertions and
executed and delivered by the Issuing Entity to the Authentication Agent for authentication in accordance with this Indenture, authenticated and delivered by the Authentication Agent in accordance with this Indenture and sold in the manner specified
in such Opinion of Counsel, will be valid and legally binding obligations of the Issuing Entity; 
 (C) that no
approval, authorization, consent or order of any court or governmental agency or body which has not already been obtained or given is required in connection with the valid and proper authorization, issuance and sale of such series of Notes pursuant
to this Indenture subject to certain exceptions, including but not limited to, state securities and Blue Sky laws and routine renewals of existing licenses and payments; and 

(D) for such other matters as the Authentication Agent may reasonably request. 

 

 4 

 (d) The terms of such Indenture Supplement may modify or amend the terms of this Indenture
solely as applied to such new Series, and such an Indenture Supplement shall not need to comply with the requirements of Section 9.1 if it complies with this Section 2.1. The obligation of the Indenture Trustee to

the following conditions:

(iv) the Depositor has delivered to the Indenture Trustee an Officer’s Certificate, dated such Closing Date, to the
effect that the Depositor reasonably believes that such issuance shall not, based on the facts known to such officer at the time of such certification, have an Adverse Effect with respect to any outstanding Series; 

(v) with respect to any Nonoverconcentration Series, the Adjusted Nonoverconcentration Pool Balance exceeds the Required
Nonoverconcentration Pool Balance after giving effect to such issuance; 
 (vi) with respect to any
Overconcentration Series, the Adjusted Overconcentration Pool Balance exceeds the Required Overconcentration Pool Balance after giving effect to such issuance; and 

(vii) the Depositor has received written confirmation from Standard & Poor’s that such issuance shall not
result in a downgrade, suspension or withdrawal of the then current ratings with respect to any outstanding Series rated by Standard & Poor’s. 

(e) Upon satisfaction of the conditions specified above, the Indenture Trustee shall execute such agreements and then the Indenture
Trustee or, if provided in an Indenture Supplement, with respect to a series of Notes, an authentication agent for such series of Notes acting on behalf of the Indenture Trustee (the Indenture Trustee or other person authenticating such Notes, the
“Authentication Agent”) shall thereupon authenticate and deliver the related Notes to or upon the written order of the Issuing Entity, signed by any Authorized Officer. 

 

 5

 (a) The Notes shall be in the forms provided from time to time by or pursuant to an Indenture Supplement

(b) The Authentication Agent certificate of authentication shall be substantially in the applicable following form: 

INDENTURE TRUSTEE’S CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICATION

	Title:	 	
		
	Dated:	 	  

		
	Or	 	
	
	                    , not in its individual capacity but

 6 

 SECTION 2.3 Temporary Notes. 

(a) Pending the preparation of Definitive Notes, if any, to be issued in exchange for Book-Entry Notes, the Issuing Entity may execute,
and upon receipt of an Issuing Entity Order the Authentication Agent shall authenticate and deliver, such Temporary Notes which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, of the tenor of the Definitive Notes in lieu
of which they are issued and with such variations as are consistent with the terms of this Indenture as the officers executing such Notes may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Notes. 

(b) If Temporary Notes are issued, the Issuing Entity shall cause Definitive Notes to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the
preparation of Definitive Notes, the Temporary Notes shall be exchangeable for Definitive Notes upon surrender of the Temporary Notes at the Agency Office of the Issuing Entity or a Paying Agent, if so specified in the applicable Indenture
Supplement, to be maintained as provided in Section 3.2, without charge to the Noteholder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more Temporary Notes, the Issuing Entity shall execute and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate
and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of Definitive Notes of authorized denominations. Until so delivered in exchange, the Temporary Notes shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as Definitive
Notes. 
 SECTION 2.4 Registration; Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Notes. 

(a) The Issuing Entity shall cause to be kept a Note Register, for each series of Notes, in which, subject to such reasonable regulations
as the Issuing Entity may prescribe, the Issuing Entity shall provide for the registration of the Notes and the registration of transfers and exchanges of the Notes. The Indenture Trustee shall initially be the Note Registrar for the purpose of
registering the Notes and transfers of the Notes as herein provided, unless with respect to a specific series of Notes, the Indenture Supplement applicable to such series of Notes provides otherwise. Upon any resignation of any Note Registrar, the
Issuing Entity shall promptly appoint a successor Note Registrar or, if it elects not to make such an appointment, assume the duties of the Note Registrar. 

(b) If a Person other than the Indenture Trustee is appointed by the Issuing Entity as Note Registrar, the Issuing Entity shall give the
Indenture Trustee prompt written notice of the appointment of such Note Registrar and of the location, and any change in the location, of the Note Register. The Indenture Trustee shall have the right to inspect the Note Register at all reasonable
times and to obtain copies thereof. The Indenture Trustee shall have the right to rely upon a certificate executed on behalf of the Note Registrar by an Executive Officer thereof as to the names and addresses of the Noteholders and the principal
amounts and number of such Notes. 
 (c) Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note at the Corporate Trust Office
of the Indenture Trustee or the Agency Office of the Issuing Entity (and following the delivery, in the former case, of such Notes to the Issuing Entity by the Indenture Trustee), the Issuing Entity shall execute, the Authentication Agent shall
authenticate and the Noteholder shall obtain from the Authentication Agent, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes of the same Series in any authorized denominations of a like aggregate principal amount.

  

 7 

 (d) At the option of the Noteholder, Notes may be exchanged for other Notes of the same
Series in any authorized denominations, of a like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of such Notes to be exchanged at the Corporate Trust Office of the Authentication Agent or the Agency Office of the Issuing Entity (and following the
delivery, in the former case, of such Notes to the Issuing Entity by the Indenture Trustee), the Issuing Entity shall execute, and the Authentication Agent shall upon receipt of a written order, authenticate and the Noteholder shall obtain from the
Indenture Trustee, such Notes which the Noteholder making the exchange is entitled to receive. 
 (e) All Notes issued upon any
registration of transfer or exchange of other Notes shall be the valid obligations of the Issuing Entity, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer
or exchange. 
 (f) Every Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed by, or
be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee and the Note Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, with such signature guaranteed by
a commercial bank or trust company located, or having a correspondent located, in the City of New York or the place or places specified in the applicable Indenture Supplement or the city in which the Corporate Trust Office of the Indenture Trustee
is located, or having a correspondent in another place or places which is specified in the applicable Indenture Supplement; and such other documents as the Indenture Trustee may require. 

(g) No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, but the Issuing Entity or
Indenture Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, other than exchanges pursuant to
Sections 2.3 or 9.6 not involving any transfer. 
 (h) The preceding provisions of this
Section 2.4 notwithstanding, the Issuing Entity shall not be required to transfer or make exchanges, and the Note Registrar need not register transfers or exchanges, (i) of Notes that have been selected for redemption pursuant to
Article X, if applicable; (ii) of Notes that are due for repayment within 15 days of submission to the Corporate Trust Office or the Agency Office; or (iii) if Section 2.15 has not been complied with in connection
with such transfer. 
 (i) Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Indenture Supplement, by acquiring a Note, each
purchaser and transferee will be deemed to represent and warrant that either (a) it is not acquiring the Note with the plan assets of a Benefit Plan or any other plan that is subject to any law that is substantially similar to Title I of ERISA
or Section 4975 of the Code; or (b) the acquisition and holding of the Note will not give rise to a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406(a) of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or a non-exempt violation of any
substantially similar applicable law. 
  

 8 

 (j) Any Notes held by the Depositor at any time after the date of its original issuance may
be transferred or exchanged only upon the delivery to the Indenture Trustee of a Tax Opinion dated as of the date of such transfer or exchange, as the case may be, with respect to such transfer or exchange. 

SECTION 2.5 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes. 

(a) If (i) any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Indenture Trustee, or the Indenture Trustee receives evidence to its
satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, and (ii) there is delivered to the Indenture Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by it to hold the Issuing Entity and the Indenture Trustee harmless, then, in the
absence of notice to the Issuing Entity, the Note Registrar or the Indenture Trustee that such Note has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Issuing Entity shall execute and upon the Issuing Entity’s written request the Indenture Trustee
shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a replacement Note of a like series and aggregate principal amount; provided, however, that if any such destroyed, lost
or stolen Note, but not a mutilated Note, shall have become or within seven days shall be due and payable, or shall have been called for redemption, instead of issuing a replacement Note, the Issuing Entity or Paying Agent, as applicable, may make
payment to the Holder of such destroyed, lost or stolen Note when so due or payable or upon the Redemption Date, if applicable, without surrender thereof. 

(b) If, after the delivery of a replacement Note or payment in respect of a destroyed, lost or stolen Note pursuant to subsection (a), a
bona fide purchaser of the original Note in lieu of which such replacement Note was issued presents for payment such original Note, the Issuing Entity and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to recover such replacement Note (or such payment)
from (i) any Person to whom it was delivered, (ii) the Person taking such replacement Note from the Person to whom such replacement Note was delivered or (iii) any assignee of such Person, except a bona fide purchaser, and the Issuing
Entity and the Indenture Trustee 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 Issuing Entity or the Indenture Trustee in connection therewith.

 (c) In connection with the issuance of any replacement Note under this Section 2.5, the Issuing Entity 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 all fees and expenses of the Indenture Trustee)
connected therewith. 
 (d) Any duplicate Note issued pursuant to this Section 2.5 in replacement for any mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Issuing Entity, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be found at any time or be enforced by any Person, and shall be
entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder. 
  

 9 

 (e) The provisions of this Section 2.5 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the
extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes. 

SECTION 2.6 Persons Deemed Noteholders. Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of any Note, the Issuing Entity, the
Indenture Trustee, the Paying Agent and any other agent of the Issuing Entity or the Indenture Trustee may treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered (as of the day of determination) as the Noteholder for the purpose of receiving payments
of principal of and interest on such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note be overdue, and neither the Issuing Entity, the Indenture Trustee, the Paying Agent nor any other agent of the Issuing Entity or the Indenture
Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
 SECTION 2.7 Payment of Principal and Interest. 

(a) Interest on each series of Notes shall accrue and be payable as provided in this Section 2.7(a) and the applicable
Indenture Supplement. Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Indenture Supplement, any instalment of interest payable on any Note shall be punctually paid or duly provided for by a deposit by or at the direction of the Issuing Entity or Paying
Agent, on behalf of the Issuing Entity if so directed by the applicable Indenture Supplement into the applicable Note Distribution Account on or before the applicable Distribution Date and shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note (or one
or more Predecessor Notes) is registered on the applicable Record Date, by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account designated by such Holder. 

(b) The principal of each series of Notes shall be payable as provided in the applicable Indenture Supplement. Unless otherwise provided
in the applicable Indenture Supplement, all principal payments on each series of Notes shall be made pro rata to the Noteholders of such series entitled thereto. Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Indenture Supplement, any installment of
principal payable on any Note shall be punctually paid or duly provided for by a deposit by or at the direction of the Issuing Entity or Paying Agent on behalf of the Issuing Entity if so directed by the applicable Indenture Supplement into the

immediately available funds to the account designated by such Holder, except for the final installment of principal on any such Note and the Redemption Price for any Notes, if so called, which, in each case, shall be payable as provided herein. The
funds represented by any such checks in respect of interest or principal returned undelivered shall be held in accordance with Section 3.3. 

(c) With respect to any Distribution Date on which the final installment of principal and interest on a series of Notes is to be paid,
the Indenture Trustee shall notify each Noteholder of such series of Notes as of the Record Date for such Distribution Date of the fact that the final installment of principal of and interest on such Note is to be paid on such Distribution Date.
With respect to Book-Entry Notes for which Definitive Notes have not been issued, such notice shall be sent on the Business Day prior to such Distribution Date by facsimile or email, and with respect to Definitive Notes, such notice shall be sent
not later than three Business Days after such Record Date in accordance with Section 12.5(a), and, in each case, shall specify that such final installment shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of such Note and shall

 SECTION 2.8 Cancellation of Notes. All Notes surrendered for payment, redemption,
exchange or registration of transfer shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Indenture Trustee, be delivered to the Indenture Trustee and shall be promptly canceled by the Indenture Trustee. Each of the Depositor and the Issuing Entity
may at any time deliver to the Indenture Trustee for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which it may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Notes so delivered shall be promptly canceled by the Indenture
Trustee. Upon such cancellation, the calculation of interest (and other calculations under the Basic Documents) shall take into effect such cancellation and such Notes shall no longer be outstanding for any purpose. No Notes shall be authenticated
in lieu of or in exchange for any Notes canceled as provided in this Section 2.8, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All canceled Notes may be held or disposed of by the Indenture Trustee in accordance with its standard
retention or disposal policy as in effect at the time unless the Issuing Entity shall direct by an Issuing Entity Order that they be returned to it; provided, however, that such Issuing Entity Order is timely and the Notes have not
been previously disposed of by the Indenture Trustee. The Indenture Trustee shall certify to the Issuing Entity that surrendered Notes have been duly canceled and retained or destroyed, as the case may be. 

SECTION 2.9 Release of Collateral. The Indenture Trustee shall not release property from the lien of this Indenture, other than as
permitted by Sections 3.21, 8.7 and 12.1, and then only upon receipt of an Issuing Entity Request accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate, an Opinion of Counsel and (to the extent required by the TIA) Independent Certificates
in accordance with TIA §§ 314(c) and 314(d)(1). 
 SECTION 2.10 Book-Entry Notes. Unless otherwise
provided in the applicable Indenture Supplement, each series of Notes, upon original issuance, shall be issued in the form of a typewritten Note or Notes representing the Book-Entry Notes, to be delivered to The Depository Trust Company, the initial
Clearing Agency, by or on behalf of the Issuing Entity and such Note or Notes shall be registered on the Note Register in the name of the Note Depository (initially, Cede & Co.). No Note Owner shall receive a Definitive Note representing
such Note Owner’s interest in such Note, except as provided in Section 2.12. Unless and until Definitive Notes with respect to such Notes have been issued to such Note Owners pursuant to Section 2.12, with respect to
such Notes: 
 (a) the provisions of this Section 2.10 shall be in full force and effect; 

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

 

 11 

 (c) to the extent that the provisions of this Section 2.10 conflict with any
other provisions of this Indenture, the provisions of this Section 2.10 shall control; 
 (d) the rights of the Note
Owners shall be exercised only through the Clearing Agency and shall be limited to those rights established by law and agreements between such Note Owners and the Clearing Agency and/or the Clearing Agency Participants, and unless and until
Definitive Notes are issued pursuant to Section 2.12, the initial Clearing Agency shall make book-entry transfers between the Clearing Agency Participants and receive and transmit payments of principal of and interest on such Notes to
such Clearing Agency Participants, pursuant to the Note Depository Agreement; and 
 (e) whenever this Indenture requires or
permits actions to be taken based upon instructions or directions of Holders of Notes evidencing a specified percentage of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, the Clearing Agency shall be deemed to represent such percentage only to the extent that
it has (i) received written instructions to such effect from Note Owners and/or Clearing Agency Participants owning or representing, respectively, such required percentage of the beneficial interest in the Notes and (ii) delivered such
instructions to the Indenture Trustee. 
 SECTION 2.11 Notices to Clearing Agency. With respect to any Notes issued as
Book-Entry Notes, whenever a notice or other communication to the Noteholders is required under this Indenture, unless and until Definitive Notes representing such Notes shall have been issued to the related Note Owners pursuant to
Section 2.12, the Indenture Trustee shall give all such notices and communications specified herein to be given to the related Noteholders to the Clearing Agency and shall have no other obligation to such Note Owners. 

SECTION 2.12 Definitive Notes. If for any Notes issued as Book-Entry Notes (i) the Administrator advises the Indenture
Trustee in writing that the Clearing Agency is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities with respect to such Notes and the Issuing Entity is unable to locate a qualified successor; (ii) the Administrator, at its
option, advises the Indenture Trustee in writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry system through the Clearing Agency; or (iii) after the occurrence of an Event of Default or a Servicing Default, Note Owners representing beneficial
interests aggregating at least a majority of the Outstanding Amount of such Notes advise the Clearing Agency in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system through the Clearing Agency is no longer in the best interests of such Note Owners,
then the Clearing Agency shall notify all Note Owners and the Indenture Trustee of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of Definitive Notes to such Note Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Indenture Trustee of the
typewritten Note or Notes representing such Book-Entry Notes by the Clearing Agency, accompanied by registration instructions, the Issuing Entity shall execute and the Authentication Agent shall authenticate the related Definitive Notes in
accordance with the instructions of the Clearing Agency within 60 days of the occurrence of the relevant event. None of the Issuing Entity, the Note Registrar or the Indenture Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions
and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of such Definitive Notes, the Indenture Trustee shall recognize the Holders of such Definitive Notes as Noteholders. The terms and conditions of
the affected series of Notes, the Indenture, the related Indenture Supplement and any related paying agent agreement or related document shall be amended in such manner as the Indenture Trustee reasonably requires to take account of the issue of
such Definitive Notes. The manner of the issuance of such Definitive Notes, for the series may be subject to such additional or different provisions as are specified in the related Indenture Supplement. 

 

 12 

 SECTION 2.13 Depositor as Noteholder. The Depositor in its individual or any other
capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes of any series and may otherwise deal with the Issuing Entity or its affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not the Depositor. 

SECTION 2.14 Tax Treatment. 

(a) The Issuing Entity and the Indenture Trustee, by entering into this Indenture, and the Noteholders and the Note Owners, by acquiring
any Note or interest therein, except as otherwise specified in the applicable Indenture Supplement, (i) express their intention that the Notes qualify under applicable tax law as indebtedness secured by the Collateral and (ii) unless
otherwise required by appropriate taxing authorities or otherwise specified in an Indenture Supplement, agree to treat the Notes as indebtedness secured by the Collateral for the purpose of federal income, state and local income and franchise taxes
and any other taxes imposed upon, measured by or based upon gross or net income. 
 (b) If the Issuing Entity is required to
file tax returns, the Servicer shall prepare or cause to be prepared such tax returns and shall provide such tax returns to the Administrator for signature at least five days before such tax returns are due to be filed. The Servicer, in accordance
with the applicable terms of each Indenture Supplement, if any, shall also prepare or cause to be prepared all tax information required by law to be distributed to Noteholders and shall deliver such information to the Indenture Trustee at least five
days prior to the date it is required by law to be distributed to Noteholders. The Indenture Trustee, upon request, shall furnish the Servicer with all such information known to the Indenture Trustee as may be reasonably required in connection with
the preparation of all tax returns of the Issuing Entity. In no event shall the Indenture Trustee be liable for any liabilities, costs or expenses of the Issuing Entity or any Noteholder arising under any tax law, including United States federal,
state or local income or excise taxes or any other tax imposed on or measured by income (or any interest or penalty with respect thereto arising from a failure to comply therewith). 

 

 13 

 SECTION 2.15 Special Terms Applicable to Subsequent Transfers of Certain Notes.

 (a) Certain Series or Classes of Notes may not be registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any other
jurisdiction. Consequently, such Notes (the “Unregistered Notes”) are not transferable other than pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and satisfaction of certain other provisions
specified herein or in the related Indenture Supplement. Unless otherwise provided in the related Indenture Supplement, no sale, pledge or other transfer of any Unregistered Note (or interest therein) after the date thereof may be made by any Person
unless either (i) such sale, pledge or other transfer is made to a “qualified institutional buyer” (as defined under Rule 144A under the Securities Act) or to an institutional investor that is an “accredited investor”
(as described in Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act) and, if so requested by the Depositor or the Indenture Trustee, such proposed transferee executes and delivers a certificate, substantially in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit A or otherwise in form and substance satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee and the Depositor, (ii) such sale, pledge or other transfer occurs outside of the United States to a non-United States
Person in accordance with Regulation S of the Securities Act, or (iii) such sale, pledge or other transfer is otherwise made in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, in which case (A) the Indenture
Trustee shall require that both the prospective transferor and the prospective transferee certify to the Indenture Trustee and the Depositor in writing the facts surrounding such transfer, which certification shall be in form and substance
satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee and the Depositor, and (B) the Indenture Trustee shall require a written opinion of counsel (which shall not be at the expense of the Issuing Entity, the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer or the Indenture
Trustee) satisfactory to the Depositor and the Indenture Trustee to the effect that such transfer will not violate the Securities Act. Neither the Depositor nor the Indenture Trustee shall be obligated to register any Unregistered Notes under the
Securities Act, qualify any Unregistered Notes under the securities laws of any state or provide registration rights to any purchaser or holder thereof. 

(b) Unless otherwise provided in the related Indenture Supplement, Unregistered Notes shall be issued in the form of Definitive Notes,
shall be in fully registered form and Sections 2.10, 2.11 and 2.12 of this Indenture shall not apply thereto. 

(c) Each Unregistered Note shall bear legends to the effect set forth in subsections (a) above. 

SECTION 2.16 CUSIP Numbers. The Issuing Entity in issuing the Notes may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use),
and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” numbers in notices of redemption, if any, as a convenience to Holders; provided that such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as
printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other indemnification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such
numbers. The Issuing Entity will promptly notify the Indenture Trustee of any change in the “CUSIP” numbers. 

SECTION 2.17 Global Notes; Euro-Note Exchange Date. 

If specified in the related Indenture Supplement for any Series, Notes may be initially issued in the form of a single temporary Global
Note (the “Global Note”) in the denomination of the Initial Invested Amount or a portion thereof and substantially in the form attached to the related Indenture Supplement. Unless otherwise specified in the related Indenture
Supplement, the provisions of this Section shall apply to such Global Note. The Global Note will be authenticated by the Indenture Trustee upon the same conditions, in substantially the same manner and with the same effect as the Definitive Notes.
The Global Note may be exchanged in the manner described in the related Indenture Supplement. 
  

 14 

 SECTION 2.18 Meetings of Noteholders. 

To the extent provided by the Indenture Supplement for any Series issued in whole or in part in Bearer Notes, the Servicer or the
Indenture Trustee may at any time call a meeting of the Noteholders of such Series, to be held at such time and at such place as the Servicer or the Indenture Trustee, as the case may be, determines, for the purpose of approving a modification of or
amendment to, or obtaining a waiver of, any covenant or condition set forth in this Indenture with respect to such Series or in the Notes of such Series, subject to Article X. 

SECTION 2.19 Uncertificated Classes. 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article II or in Article XI, unless otherwise specified in any Indenture
Supplement, any provisions contained in this Article II and in Article XI relating to the registration, form, execution, authentication, delivery, presentation, cancellation and surrender of Notes are not applicable to any uncertificated Notes;
provided, however, that, except as otherwise expressly provided in the related Indenture Supplement, any such uncertificated Notes will be issued in “registered form” within the meaning of Section 163(f)(1) of the Code.

 ARTICLE III

Account to be paid to the Noteholders in accordance with the terms of the Notes and this Indenture, less amounts properly withheld under the Code or the laws of any applicable foreign jurisdiction by any Person from a payment to any Noteholder of
interest and/or principal. Any amounts so withheld shall be considered as having been paid by the Issuing Entity to such Noteholder for all purposes of this Indenture.

exchange, and where notices and demands to or upon the Issuing Entity in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served. Unless another person shall otherwise be appointed in the Indenture Supplement, the Issuing Entity hereby initially
appoints the Indenture Trustee to serve as its agent for the foregoing purposes. The Issuing Entity shall give prompt written notice to the Indenture Trustee of the location, and of any change in the location, of any such office or agency. If at any
time the Issuing Entity shall fail to maintain any such office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Indenture Trustee with the address thereof, such surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the
Indenture Trustee, and the Issuing Entity hereby appoints the Indenture Trustee as its agent to receive all such surrenders, notices and demands.

 (c) The Issuing Entity shall cause each
Paying Agent, other than the Indenture Trustee, to execute and deliver to the Indenture Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Indenture Trustee (and if the Indenture Trustee acts as Paying Agent, it hereby so agrees),
subject to the provisions of this Section 3.3, that such Paying Agent shall: 
 (i) hold all sums
held by it for the payment of amounts due with respect to the Notes in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and pay such sums to such Persons
as herein provided; 
 (ii) give the Indenture Trustee notice of any default by the Issuing Entity (or any other
obligor upon the Notes) of which it has actual knowledge in the making of any payment required to be made with respect to the Notes; 

(iii) at any time during the continuance of any such default, upon the written request of the Indenture Trustee, forthwith
pay to the Indenture Trustee all sums so held in trust by such Paying Agent; 
 (iv) immediately resign as a
Paying Agent and forthwith pay to the Indenture Trustee all sums held by it in trust for the payment of Notes if at any time it ceases to meet the standards required to be met by a Paying Agent in effect at the time of determination; and 

(v) comply with all requirements of the Code with respect to the withholding from any payments made by it on any Notes of

purpose, by Issuing Entity Order direct any Paying Agent to pay to the Indenture Trustee all sums held in trust by such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Indenture Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which the sums were held by such
Paying Agent; and upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Indenture Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money.

 (e) Subject to applicable laws with respect to escheat of funds, any money held by the
Indenture Trustee or any Paying Agent in trust for the payment of any amount due with respect to any Note and remaining unclaimed for one year after such amount has become due and payable shall be discharged from such trust and be paid by the
Indenture Trustee to the Issuing Entity; or, if so directed by the Administrator, to or at the order of the Depositor; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Issuing Entity for payment
thereof (but only to the extent of the amounts so paid to the Issuing Entity), and all liability of the Indenture Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the
Indenture Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such payment, may at the expense of the Issuing Entity cause to be published once, in a newspaper published in the English language, customarily published on each Business Day
and of general circulation in the City of New York, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then
remaining shall be paid to the Issuing Entity. The Indenture Trustee may also adopt and employ, at the expense of the Issuing Entity, any other reasonable means of notification of such repayment (including, but not limited to, mailing notice of such
repayment to Holders whose Notes have been called but have not been surrendered for redemption or whose right to or interest in monies due and payable but not claimed is determinable from the records of the Indenture Trustee or of any Paying Agent,
at the last address of record for each such Holder). 
 SECTION 3.4 Existence. The Issuing Entity shall keep in full
effect its existence, rights and franchises as a statutory trust under the laws of the State of Delaware (unless it becomes, or any successor Issuing Entity hereunder is or becomes, organized under the laws of any other State or of the
United States of America, in which case the Issuing Entity shall keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises under the laws of such other jurisdiction) and shall obtain and preserve its qualification to do business in each

 SECTION 3.6 Opinions as to
Trust Estate. 
 (a) On the Initial Closing Date, the Issuing Entity shall furnish to the Indenture Trustee an Opinion of
Counsel either stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, such action has been taken with respect to the recording and filing of this Indenture, any indentures supplemental hereto and any other requisite documents, and with respect to the
execution and filing of any financing statements and continuation statements as are necessary to perfect and make effective the lien and security interest of this Indenture and reciting the details of such action, or stating that, in the opinion of

2011), the Issuing Entity shall furnish to the Indenture Trustee an Opinion of Counsel either stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, such action has been taken with respect to the recording, filing, re-recording and refiling of this
Indenture, any indentures supplemental hereto and 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 lien and security interest created

 SECTION 3.7 Performance of Obligations; Servicing of Receivables.

the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in accordance with and within the time periods provided for herein and therein.

Issuing Entity shall promptly notify the Indenture Trustee and the Rating Agencies thereof, and shall specify in such notice the response or action, if any, the Issuing Entity has taken or is taking with respect of such default. If a Servicing
Default shall arise from the failure of the Servicer to perform any of its duties or obligations under the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement with respect to the Receivables in the Accounts in the Pool of
Accounts, the Issuing Entity and the Indenture Trustee shall take all reasonable steps available to them pursuant to the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to remedy such failure.

of the payment of the taxes levied or assessed upon any part of the Trust Estate;

readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or other proceeding, or apply for an order by a court or agency or supervisory authority for the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs or any other event specified in any Issuing Entity
Insolvency Event of Default; or 
 (d) either (i) permit the validity or effectiveness of this Indenture to be impaired, or

Authorized Officer and the nature and status thereof. A copy of such certificate may be obtained by any Noteholder by a request in writing to the Issuing Entity addressed to the Corporate Trust Office of the Indenture Trustee.

Trustee, pay to it, for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes of the affected Series, Class, Sub-Class or Tranche, the whole amount then due and payable on such Notes for principal and interest, with interest upon the overdue principal,
and, to the extent payment at such rate of interest is legally enforceable, interest upon overdue instalments of interest, at the applicable Note Interest Rate borne by the Notes of such Series, Class, Sub-Class or Tranche, and in addition thereto
shall pay such further amount as is sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee and its agents and counsel, with all such amounts

 27 

 (b) If the Issuing Entity shall fail forthwith to pay such amounts upon such demand, the
Indenture Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a Proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute such Proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce the same against the
Issuing Entity or other obligor upon the Notes of such Series, Class, Sub-Class or Tranche and collect in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Issuing Entity or other obligor upon such Notes, wherever situated, the monies adjudged
or decreed to be payable. 
 (c) If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee may, as more
particularly provided in Section 5.4, in its discretion, proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Noteholders of the affected Series, by such appropriate Proceedings as the Indenture Trustee shall deem most
effective to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy or legal or equitable
right vested in the Indenture Trustee by this Indenture or by applicable law.

trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization, liquidator, sequestrator, custodian or similar official shall have been appointed for or taken possession of the Issuing Entity or its property or such other obligor or Person, or in case of any other
comparable judicial Proceedings relative to the Issuing Entity or other obligor upon the Notes of such Series, Class, Sub-Class or Tranche, or to the creditors or property of the Issuing Entity or such other obligor, the Indenture Trustee,
irrespective of whether the principal of such Notes shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Indenture Trustee shall have made any demand pursuant to the provisions of this
Section 5.3, shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such Proceedings or otherwise: 

(i) to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount of principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the
Notes of such Series, Class, Sub-Class or Tranche and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Indenture Trustee (including any claim for reasonable compensation to the Indenture
Trustee and each predecessor Indenture Trustee, and their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and for reimbursement of all expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Indenture Trustee and each predecessor Indenture

Sub-Class or Tranche in any election of a trustee, a standby trustee or Person performing similar functions in any such Proceedings;

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

party to any such Proceedings. 
  

 29 

 SECTION 5.4 Remedies; Priorities. 

(a) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing with respect to any Series, and the Notes of such Series have been
accelerated pursuant to Section 5.2, the Indenture Trustee may (but shall not be required to) do one or more of the following (subject to Section 5.5): 

(i) institute Proceedings in its own name and as trustee of an express trust for the collection of all amounts then due
and payable on the Notes of the affected Series, Class, Sub-Class or Tranche or under this Indenture with respect thereto, whether by declaration or otherwise, enforce any judgment obtained, and collect from the Issuing Entity and any other obligor
upon such Notes monies adjudged due; 
 (ii) exercise any remedies of a secured party under the UCC and take any
other appropriate action to protect and enforce the rights and remedies of the Indenture Trustee and the Holders of the Notes of the affected Series; 

(iii) at its own election or at the direction of the Holders of at least a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes
of any accelerated Series (or such other percentage as may be provided in the related Indenture Supplement), institute foreclosure Proceedings from time to time with respect to the portion of the Trust Estate which secures such Notes by causing the
Issuing Entity to sell to a Permitted Assignee an amount of Principal Receivables (together with their related interest components) and other assets of the Trust Estate equal the Net Invested Amount of the accelerated Series in accordance with
Section 5.15, but only if the Indenture Trustee determines that the proceeds of such sale shall be sufficient to pay principal of and interest on such Notes in full; and 

(iv) at the direction of the Holders of 100% of the Outstanding Amount of each Class of the Notes of any accelerated
Series (or such other percentage as may be provided in the related Indenture Supplement), institute foreclosure Proceedings from time to time with respect to the portion of the Trust Estate (together with their related interest components) that
secures the related Notes, regardless of the sufficiency of the proceeds thereof, by causing the Issuing Entity to sell to a Permitted Assignee an amount of Principal Receivables (together with their related interest components) and other assets of
the Trust Estate equal to the Net Invested Amount of the accelerated Series or such other amount as is required by the related Indenture Supplement, in each case in accordance with Section 5.15 (each of the actions described in this
clause (iv) and clause (iii) above, being a “Foreclosure Remedy”). 
 In determining such sufficiency
or insufficiency with respect to clauses (iii) and (iv) above, the Indenture Trustee may, but need not, obtain and rely upon an opinion of an Independent investment banking or accounting firm of national reputation as to the feasibility of
such proposed action and as to the sufficiency of the Trust Estate for such purpose. 
  

 30 

 (b) Any money or property collected by the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Article V
following the acceleration of the maturities of the Notes of the affected Series, Class, Sub-Class or Tranche pursuant to Section 5.2 (so long as such declaration has not been rescinded or annulled) shall be paid out or treated in the
following order: 
 (i) FIRST: to the Indenture Trustee for amounts due under Section 6.7 and the
applicable Indenture Supplement and to the Owner Trustee for amounts due under Section 6.9 of the Trust Agreement and Section 7.1 of the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement; 

(ii) SECOND: as Collections (allocated between Principal Collections and Interest Collections pro rata in accordance with
the outstanding aggregate balances of all Principal Receivables and all Interest Receivables held by the Issuing Entity as of the last day of the immediately preceding Collection Period) and distributed, together with any amounts then held in the
Collection Account, Excess Funding Account, the Cash Collateral Account or any Series Accounts for such Series, Class, Sub-Class or Tranche and any amounts available under the Series Enhancement for such Series, Class, Sub-Class or Tranche, as
payments to the Holders of the Notes of such Series, Class, Sub-Class or Tranche and the Series Enhancer for such Series, Class, Sub-Class or Tranche in accordance with the terms of this Indenture, the related Indenture Supplement and the Series
Enhancement for such Series, Class, Sub-Class or Tranche. Following the sale of the Collateral (or portion thereof) for a Series, Class, Sub-Class or Tranche and the application of the proceeds of such sale to such Series, Class, Sub-Class or
Tranche and the application of the amounts then held in the Collection Account, the Excess Funding Account, the Cash Collateral Account and any Series Accounts for such Series, Class, Sub-Class or Tranche as are allocated to such Series, Class,
Sub-Class or Tranche and any amounts available under the Series Enhancement for such Series, Class, Sub-Class or Tranche, such Series, Class, Sub-Class or Tranche shall no longer be entitled to any allocation of Collections or other property
constituting the Collateral under this Indenture and the Notes of such Series, Class, Sub-Class or Tranche shall no longer be Outstanding. 

(c) In its exercise of the Foreclosure Remedy pursuant to Section 5.4(a), the Indenture Trustee shall solicit bids from
Permitted Assignees for the sale of the Trust Estate (or interests therein) in an amount equal to the Net Invested Amount of the affected Series of Notes at the time of sale or such other amount as is required by the related Indenture Supplement.
Before soliciting bids, the Indenture Trustee may request (at the sole cost and expense of the Permitted Assignee) an Opinion of Counsel from each Permitted Assignee to the effect that its purchase of the Trust Estate (or interests therein) shall
not cause the Issuing Entity to be treated as an association (or a publicly traded partnership) taxable as a corporation for United States federal income tax purposes, and the Indenture Trustee shall have no obligation to solicit bids from any
Permitted Assignee that has not furnished the requested opinion. The Depositor or any of its Affiliates who are Permitted Assignees shall be entitled to participate in, and to receive from the Indenture Trustee a copy of each other bid submitted in
connection with, such bidding process; provided that (i) at least one participant other than the Depositor and any of its Affiliates must submit a bona fide offer and (ii) the Depositor and any of its Affiliates are prohibited from bidding
an amount which exceeds fair value of such Trust Estate. Subject to Section 5.4(a)(iii) above, the Indenture Trustee must sell such Trust Estate (together with their related interest components) to the bidder with the highest cash
purchase offer. The proceeds of any such sale must be applied in accordance with Section 5.4(b). 
  

 31 

 SECTION 5.5 Optional Preservation of Trust Estate. 

If the Notes of any Series, Class, Sub-Class or Tranche have been declared to be due and payable under Section 5.2 following
an Event of Default and such declaration and its consequences have not been rescinded and annulled, and the Indenture Trustee has not received direction from the Noteholders pursuant to Section 5.11, the Indenture Trustee may, but need
not, elect to maintain possession of all or any portion of the Trust Estate. It is the desire of the parties hereto and the Noteholders that there be at all times sufficient funds for the payment of principal of and interest on such affected Notes,
and the Indenture Trustee shall take such desire into account when determining whether or not to maintain possession of the Trust Estate. In determining whether to maintain possession of all or any portion of the Trust Estate, the Indenture Trustee
may, but need not, obtain and rely upon an opinion of an Independent investment banking or accounting firm of national reputation as to the feasibility of such proposed action and as to the sufficiency of the Trust Estate for such purpose.

 SECTION 5.6 Limitation on Suits. 

No Noteholder of any Series, Class, Sub-Class or Tranche shall have any right to institute any Proceedings, judicial or otherwise, with
respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless: 

(i) the Holders of at least 25% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes of each affected Series, Class, Sub-Class or
Tranche have made written request to the Indenture Trustee to institute such Proceeding in its own name as Indenture Trustee; 

(ii) such Noteholder or Noteholders has or have previously given written notice to the Indenture Trustee of a continuing
Event of Default with respect to the Notes of such Series, Class, Sub-Class or Tranche; 
 (iii) such Noteholder
or Noteholders has or have offered to the Indenture Trustee reasonable indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request; 

(iv) the Indenture Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to
institute any such proceeding; and 
 (v) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to
the Indenture Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of at least a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes of such Series, Class, Sub-Class or Tranche; 

it being understood and intended that no one or more Noteholders of the affected Series, Class, Sub-Class or Tranche has any right in any
manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Noteholders of such Series, Class, Sub-Class or Tranche or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference
over any other Noteholders of such Series, Class, Sub-Class or Tranche or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all the Noteholders of such Series, Class, Sub-Class
or Tranche. 
  

 32 

 If the Indenture Trustee shall receive conflicting or inconsistent requests and indemnity
from two or more groups of Noteholders of such affected Series, Class, Sub-Class or Tranche, each holding less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of such Notes, the Indenture Trustee in its sole discretion may determine what action, if any,
shall be taken, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture. 
 SECTION 5.7 Unconditional Rights of Noteholders to
Receive Principal and Interest. 
 Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, each Noteholder has the absolute

If the Indenture Trustee or any Noteholder has instituted any Proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such

any determination in such Proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders shall continue as though no such Proceeding had
been instituted. 
 SECTION 5.9 Rights and Remedies Cumulative. 

No right, remedy, power or privilege herein conferred upon or reserved to the Indenture Trustee or to the Noteholders is intended to be
exclusive of any other right, remedy, power or privilege, and every right, remedy, power or privilege is, to the extent permitted by law, cumulative and in addition to every other right, remedy, power or privilege given hereunder or now or hereafter
existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or exercise of any right or remedy shall not preclude any other further assertion or the exercise of any other appropriate right or remedy. 

SECTION 5.10 Delay or Omission Not Waiver. 

No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Indenture Trustee or of any Noteholder or other Person, any right
or remedy occurring hereunder upon any Default or Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver thereof of any such Default or Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article
V or by law to the Indenture Trustee or to the Noteholders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Indenture Trustee or by the Noteholders, as the case may be.

Trustee with respect to the Notes of such Series, Class, Sub-Class or Tranche; provided, however, that subject to Section 6.01:

terms of Section 5.4, any direction given to the Indenture Trustee to sell or liquidate the Trust Estate shall be by the Holders of Notes representing not less than 100% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes of such Series, Class,
Sub-Class or Tranche; 
 (c) if the conditions set forth in Section 5.5 have been satisfied and the Indenture
Trustee elects to retain the Trust Estate pursuant to Section 5.5, then any direction to the Indenture Trustee by Holders of Notes representing less than 100% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes to sell or liquidate the Trust Estate
shall be of no force and effect; and 
 (d) the Indenture Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Indenture
Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction; 
 provided, however, that, subject to Section 6.1, the
Indenture Trustee need not take any action that it determines might cause it to incur any liability (y) with respect to which the Indenture Trustee shall have reasonable grounds to believe that adequate indemnity against such liability is not
assured to it and (z) which might materially adversely affect the rights of any Noteholders not consenting to such action. 

SECTION 5.12 Waiver of Past Defaults. 

Prior to the declaration of the acceleration of the maturity of the Notes of the affected Series, Class, Sub-Class or Tranche as provided
in Section 5.2, Holders of at least a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes of such Series, Class, Sub-Class or Tranche may, on behalf of all such Noteholders of such Series, Class, Sub-Class or Tranche waive in writing any

 34 

 In the case of any such waiver, the Issuing Entity, the Indenture Trustee and such
Noteholders shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereto. 

Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist and shall be deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred, and any Event of
Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred, for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent
thereon. After a declaration of acceleration, only waivers pursuant to Section 5.2 are permitted. 
 SECTION 5.13

it as Indenture Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such Proceeding of an undertaking to pay the costs of such Proceeding, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and
expenses, against any party litigant in such Proceeding, 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 Proceeding instituted by the Indenture Trustee; 

(b) any Proceeding instituted by any Noteholder, or group of Noteholders, in each case holding in the aggregate more than 10% of the
Outstanding Amount of the Notes of the affected Series, Class, Sub-Class or Tranche; or 
 (c) any Proceeding instituted by any
Noteholder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal or interest in respect of any Note on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Note and in this Indenture or the related Indenture Supplement (or, in the case of redemption,
on or after the applicable Redemption Date).

The Issuing Entity covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall 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, which may adversely affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Issuing Entity (to
the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it shall not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Indenture Trustee, but shall suffer and
permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

impaired by the recovery of any judgment by the Indenture Trustee against the Issuing Entity or by the levy of any execution under such judgment upon any portion of the Trust Estate or upon any of the assets of the Issuing Entity. Any money or
property collected by the Indenture Trustee shall be applied first as specified in accordance with Section 5.4(b), and second as specified in the applicable Indenture Supplement. 

SECTION 5.17 Performance and Enforcement of Certain Obligations. 

(a) Promptly following a request from the Indenture Trustee to do so and at the Administrator’s expense, the Issuing Entity agrees
to take all such lawful action as the Indenture Trustee may request to compel or secure the performance and observance by the Seller, the Depositor and the Servicer of their respective obligations to the Issuing Entity under or in connection with

THE INDENTURE TRUSTEE 

SECTION 6.1 Duties of Indenture Trustee. 

(a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee shall exercise the rights and powers vested in it by
this Indenture and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs, including without limitation, continuing to hold the Trust
Estate and receive collections on the Receivables included therein and provided in the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement. 

(b) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default: 

(i) the Indenture Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this
Indenture and the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture or the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement against the Indenture Trustee; and 

 

 37 

 (ii) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Indenture Trustee may
conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Indenture Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; provided,
however, that the Indenture Trustee shall examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of any mathematical calculations
or other facts stated therein). 
 (c) The Indenture Trustee may not be relieved from liability for its own negligent action,
its own negligent failure to act or its own wilful misconduct, except that:

Section 6.1(c) does not limit the effect of Section 6.1(b); 
 (ii) the Indenture Trustee
shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer unless it is proved that the Indenture Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and 

(iii) the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in

 (f) No provision of this Indenture
shall require the Indenture Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds to
believe that repayments of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. 

(g) Every provision of this Indenture relating to the Indenture Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this
Section 6.1 and to the provisions of the TIA. 
 SECTION 6.2 Rights of Indenture Trustee.

proper Person. The Indenture Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document. 
 (b) Before the Indenture
Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officer’s Certificate from the Issuing Entity or an Opinion of Counsel that such action or omission is required or permitted hereunder. The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any
action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel. 
  

 38 

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

 (e) The Indenture Trustee may consult with counsel, and the advice or opinion of counsel with respect to legal matters
relating to this Indenture and the Notes shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect to any action taken, omitted or suffered by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such
counsel. 
 (f) The Indenture Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this
Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders pursuant to this Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Indenture Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee against the costs, expenses and
liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction. 
 (g) The Indenture Trustee shall not
be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other
paper or document, but the Indenture Trustee, in its direction, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit. 

(h) The Indenture Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Default or Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the
Indenture Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a default is received by the Indenture Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Indenture Trustee, and such notice references the Notes
and this Indenture. 
 (i) The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Indenture Trustee,
including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Indenture Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder.

pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuing Entity, the Servicer or any of their respective Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Indenture Trustee; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee
shall comply with Sections 6.10 and 6.11. Any Paying Agent, Note Registrar, co-registrar or co-paying agent may do the same with like rights. 
  

 39 

 SECTION 6.4 Indenture Trustee’s Disclaimer. The Indenture Trustee shall not be
responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes, it shall not be accountable for the Issuing Entity’s use of the proceeds from the Notes, and it shall not be responsible for any
statement of the Issuing Entity in the Indenture or in any document issued in connection with the sale of the Notes or in the Notes other than the Indenture Trustee’s certificate of authentication. 

SECTION 6.5 Notice of Defaults. If a Default occurs and is continuing and if it is known to a Responsible Officer of the Indenture
Trustee, the Indenture Trustee shall mail to each Noteholder notice of the Default within 90 days after it occurs. Except in the case of a Default in payment of principal of or interest on any Note, the Indenture Trustee may withhold the notice if

SECTION 6.6 Reports by Indenture Trustee to Holders. The Indenture Trustee shall deliver to each Noteholder the information and
documents set forth in Article VII, and, in addition, all such information with respect to the Notes as may be required by the terms of the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement and each Indenture Supplement to be provided to Holders by the
Indenture Trustee to enable such Holder to prepare its federal and state income tax returns. 
 SECTION 6.7 Compensation;
Indemnity. 
 (a) Subject to Section 12.20, the Issuing Entity shall cause the Servicer pursuant to
Section 3.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to pay to the Indenture Trustee from time to time such compensation for its services as shall be agreed upon in writing. The Indenture Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited
by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. Subject to Section 12.20, the Issuing Entity shall cause the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to reimburse the Indenture
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 Indenture Trustee’s agents, counsel, accountants and experts. The Issuing Entity shall cause the Servicer pursuant to the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement to indemnify the Indenture Trustee in accordance with
Section 7.1 of the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement. 
 (b) The Issuing Entity’s obligation to cause the
Servicer to honor the Issuing Entity’s obligations to the Indenture Trustee specified in Section 6.7(a) shall survive the discharge of this Indenture. When the Indenture Trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence of a Default
specified in any Insolvency Event of Default with respect to the Issuing Entity, if the Servicer has failed to honor such obligation the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Insolvency Law. 

 

 40 

 SECTION 6.8 Replacement of Indenture Trustee. 

(a) The Indenture Trustee may at any time give notice of its intent to resign by so notifying the Issuing Entity; provided, however, that
no such resignation shall become effective and the Indenture Trustee shall not resign prior to the time set forth in Section 6.8(c). The Holders of a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes may remove the Indenture Trustee by so
notifying the Indenture Trustee and may appoint a successor Indenture Trustee. Such resignation or removal shall become effective in accordance with Section 6.8(c). The Issuing Entity shall remove the Indenture Trustee if:

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

to resign or is removed, the retiring Indenture Trustee, the Issuing Entity or the Holders of a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment and designation of a successor
Indenture Trustee. 
 (e) If the Indenture Trustee fails to comply with Section 6.11, any Noteholder may petition
any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Indenture Trustee and the appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee.

 41 

 (b) If at the time such successor or successors by merger or consolidation to the Indenture
Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture, any of the Notes shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Indenture Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor trustee, and
deliver such Notes so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Notes shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Indenture Trustee may authenticate such Notes either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of
the successor to the Indenture Trustee. In all such cases such certificate of authentication shall have the same full force as is provided anywhere in the Notes or herein with respect to the certificate of authentication of the Indenture Trustee.

 SECTION 6.10 Appointment of Co-Indenture Trustee or Separate Indenture 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 Issuing Entity or any Dealer may at the time be located, the Indenture Trustee shall have the power and may execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by the Indenture Trustee to
act as a co-trustee or co-trustees, jointly with the Indenture Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Issuing Entity, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the
Noteholders and (only to the extent expressly provided herein) the Certificateholders, such title to the Issuing Entity, or any part hereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 6.10, such powers, duties, obligations,
rights and trusts as the Indenture Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 6.11 and no notice to
Noteholders of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required under Section 6.8. 
 (b)
Every separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and conditions: 

(i) all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Indenture Trustee shall be conferred or
imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Indenture Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being understood that such separate trustee or co-trustee is not authorized to act separately without the Indenture Trustee joining
in such act), except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed the Indenture Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights,
powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to the Issuing Entity or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed singly by such separate trustee or co-trustee, but solely at the direction of the
Indenture Trustee; 
  

 42

Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Indenture and the
conditions of this Article VI. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Indenture
Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Indenture, specifically including every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the
Indenture Trustee. Every such instrument shall be filed with the Indenture Trustee. 
 (d) Any separate trustee or co-trustee
may at any time appoint the Indenture Trustee as its agent or attorney-in-fact with full power and authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this Indenture on its behalf and in its name. If any
separate trustee or co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the Indenture Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without
the appointment of a new or successor trustee. 
 SECTION 6.11 Eligibility; Disqualification. The Indenture Trustee shall

On any Business Day on which the Adjusted Overconcentration Pool Balance on that Business Day (determined after giving effect to any
Principal Receivables that shall be transferred to the Issuing Entity on such date or, with respect to any Determination Date, on the immediately succeeding Distribution Date) is lower than the Required Overconcentration Pool Balance on that
Business Day, the Depositor shall instruct the Servicer to deposit funds, otherwise allocable to the holders of the Certificate Interest from amounts available from the Overconcentration Interest and, if the Adjusted Nonoverconcentration Pool

Account Holder, shall have the right to instruct an Account Holder to transfer any or all of the Designated Accounts to another Eligible Institution designated by the Servicer in such notice. No Designated Account shall be maintained with an Account
Holder if the short-term unsecured debt obligations of such Account Holder cease to have the Required Deposit Rating (except that any Designated Account may be maintained with an Account Holder even if the short-term unsecured debt obligations of
such Account Holder do not have the Required Deposit Rating, if such Account Holder maintains such Designated Account as a segregated account in its corporate trust department and the credit rating assigned by each Rating Agency to any of the
securities issued by such Account Holder signifies investment grade). Should an Account Holder no longer satisfy the requirements in the preceding sentence with respect to any Designated Account, then the Servicer shall, within ten
(10) Business Days (or such longer period, not to exceed thirty (30) calendar days, as to which each Rating Agency shall consent), with the Account Holder’s assistance as necessary, cause each affected Designated Account (A) to
be moved to an Account Holder that is an Eligible Institution with the Required Deposit Rating or (B) to be moved to a segregated account in the corporate trust department of the Account Holder provided that the credit rating assigned by each
Rating Agency to any of the securities issued by such Account Holder signifies investment grade. All amounts held in Designated Accounts (other than any Designated Account with respect to a series of Notes specified otherwise in the Indenture
Supplement with respect to such series of Notes) (including amounts, if any, which the Servicer is required to remit daily to the Collection Account pursuant to Section 8.3) shall, to the extent permitted by applicable laws, rules and
regulations, be invested, at the written direction of the Servicer (provided, however, with respect to a series of Notes, the Indenture Supplement with respect to such series of Notes may provide that under specified conditions a person other than
the Servicer shall direct the investment of funds in deposit in the Designated Accounts with respect to such series of Notes on the terms set forth in such Indenture Supplement), by such Account Holder in Eligible Investments. Such written direction
shall constitute certification by the Servicer that any such investment is authorized by this Section 8.3. Each Account Holder holding a Designated Account as provided in this Section 8.3(d)(i), shall be a “Securities
Intermediary.” If a Securities Intermediary shall be a Person other than the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer shall obtain the express agreement of such Person to the obligations of the Securities Intermediary set forth in this
Section 8.3 and an Opinion of Counsel that such Person can perform such Obligations. 
  

 52

agrees, by its acceptance hereof, that: 
 (A) Any Designated Account Property that is held in deposit accounts
shall be held solely in Eligible Deposit Accounts. The Designated Accounts are accounts to which Financial Assets shall be credited. 

(B) All securities or other property underlying any Financial Assets credited to the Designated Accounts shall be
registered in the name of the Securities Intermediary, indorsed to the Securities Intermediary or in blank or credited to another securities account maintained in the name of the Securities Intermediary and in no case shall any Financial Asset
credited to any of the Designated Accounts be registered in the name of the Issuing Entity, the Servicer or the Depositor, payable to the order of the Issuing Entity, the Servicer or the Depositor or specially indorsed to the Issuing Entity, the
Servicer or the Depositor except to the extent the foregoing have been specially indorsed to the Securities Intermediary or in blank. 

(C) All property delivered to the Securities Intermediary pursuant to this Agreement shall be credited upon receipt of
such property to the appropriate Designated Account. 
 (D) Each item of property (whether investments,
investment property, Financial Asset, security, instrument or cash) credited to a Designated Account shall be treated as a “financial asset” within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(9) of the New York UCC. 

(E) If at any time the Securities Intermediary shall receive any order from the Indenture Trustee directing transfer or
redemption of any Financial Asset relating to the Designated Accounts, the Securities Intermediary shall comply with such order without further consent by the Issuing Entity, the Servicer, the Depositor or any other Person. 

(F) The Designated Accounts shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York, regardless of any provision in any
other agreement. For purposes of the UCC, New York shall be deemed to be the Securities Intermediary’s jurisdiction and the Designated Accounts (as well as the Security Entitlements related thereto) shall be governed by the laws of the State of
New York. 
  

 53 

 (G) The Securities Intermediary has not entered into, and until the
termination of this Agreement shall not enter into, any agreement with any other Person relating to the Designated Accounts and/or any Financial Assets or other property credited thereto pursuant to which it has agreed to comply with entitlement
orders (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(8) of the New York UCC) of such other Person and the Securities Intermediary has not entered into, and until the termination of this Agreement shall not enter into, any agreement with the Issuing
Entity, the Depositor, the Servicer, the Account Holder or the Indenture Trustee purporting to limit or condition the obligation of the Securities Intermediary to comply with entitlement orders as set forth in Section 8.3(d)(ii)(E)
hereof. 
 (H) Except for the claims and interest of the Indenture Trustee in the Designated Accounts, the
Securities Intermediary has no knowledge of claims to, or interests in, the Designated Accounts or in any Financial Asset credited thereto. If any other Person asserts any Lien, encumbrance or adverse claim (including any writ, garnishment,
judgment, warrant of attachment, execution or similar process) against the Designated Accounts or in any Financial Asset carried therein, the Securities Intermediary shall promptly notify the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer and the Issuing Entity
thereof. 
 (I) The Securities Intermediary shall promptly send copies of all statements, confirmations and other
correspondence concerning the Designated Accounts and/or any Designated Account Property simultaneously to each of the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee, at the addresses set forth in Appendix B to the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement.

 (J) The Account Holder shall maintain each item of Designated Account Property in the particular Designated
Account to which such item originated and shall not commingle items from different Designated Accounts. 
 (K)
The Servicer or other Person directing the investment of funds in the Designated Accounts shall not direct the Indenture Trustee to: 

(1) invest in any Physical Property, any Uncertificated Security that is not a Federal Book-Entry Security or any
Certificated Security unless the Indenture Trustee takes Delivery of such item; or 
 (2) invest in any Security
Entitlement or Federal Book-Entry Security unless the Indenture Trustee obtains Control over such investment. 

(iii) The Servicer shall not direct the Account Holder to make any investment of any funds or to sell any investment held
in any of the Designated Accounts unless the security interest granted and perfected in such account shall continue to be perfected in such investment or the proceeds of such sale, in either case without any further action by any Person, and, in
connection with any direction to the Account Holder to make any such investment or sale, if requested by the Account Holder, the Servicer shall deliver to the Account Holder an Opinion of Counsel, acceptable to the Indenture Trustee, to such effect.

  

 54 

 (f) Subject to Section 6.1(c), the Indenture Trustee shall not in any way be
held liable by reason of any insufficiency in any of the Designated Accounts resulting from any loss on any Eligible Investment included therein except for losses attributable to the Indenture Trustee’s failure to make payments on such Eligible
Investments issued by the Indenture Trustee, in its commercial capacity as principal obligor and not as trustee, in accordance with their terms. 

(g) If (i) the Servicer shall have failed to give investment directions for any funds on deposit in the Designated Accounts to the
Indenture Trustee by 11:00 a.m., New York City time (or such other time as may be agreed by the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee) on any Business Day or (ii) an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing with
respect to a series of Notes but the Notes shall not have been declared due and payable pursuant to Section 5.2, or, if such series of Notes shall have been declared due and payable following an Event of Default, but amounts collected or
receivable from the Trust Estate are being applied in accordance with Section 5.5 as if there had not been such a declaration, then the Indenture Trustee shall, to the fullest extent practicable, invest and reinvest funds in the
Designated Accounts in one or more Eligible Investments selected by the Indenture Trustee. 
 (h) The Indenture Trustee, the
Owner Trustee, the Securities Intermediary, each Account Holder and each other Eligible Deposit Institution with whom a Designated Account is maintained waives any right of set-off, counterclaim, security interest or bankers’ lien to which it
might otherwise be entitled.

 SECTION 11.2 Final Distribution. 

(a) The Servicer shall give the Indenture Trustee at least 30 days’ prior notice of the Distribution Date on which the Noteholders

Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement, notice of such Distribution Date promptly after the Servicer has determined that a final distribution shall occur, if such determination is made less than 30 days prior to such Distribution Date). Such notice must
be accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the information specified in Section 4.1 of the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement covering the period during the current calendar year through the date of such notice. Not
later than the fifth day of the month in which the final distribution in respect of such Series or Class is payable to Noteholders, the Indenture Trustee shall provide notice to Noteholders of such Series or Class specifying (i) the date upon
which final payment of such Series or Class shall be made upon presentation and surrender of Notes of such Series or Class at the office or offices therein designated, (ii) the amount of any such final payment and (iii) that the Record
Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable, payments being made only upon presentation and surrender of such Notes at the office or offices therein specified (which, in the case of Bearer Notes, shall be outside the United
States). The Indenture Trustee shall give such notice to the Transfer Agent and Registrar and the Paying Agent at the time such notice is given to Noteholders. 

(b) Notwithstanding a final distribution to the Noteholders of any Series or Class (or the termination of the Indenture or the
dissolution of the Issuing Entity), except as otherwise provided in this paragraph, all funds then on deposit in the Collection Account and any Series Account allocated to such Noteholders shall continue to be held in trust for the benefit of such
Noteholders and the Paying Agent or the Indenture Trustee shall pay such funds to such Noteholders upon surrender of their Notes, if certificated (and any excess shall be paid in accordance with the terms of any Series Enhancement Agreement). If all
such Noteholders do not surrender their Notes for cancellation within six months after the date specified in the notice from the Indenture Trustee described in Section 11.2(a), the Indenture Trustee shall give a second notice to the
remaining such Noteholders to surrender their Notes for cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect thereto (which surrender and payment, in the case of Bearer Notes, shall be outside the United States). If within one year after the
second notice all such Notes have not been surrendered for cancellation, the Indenture Trustee may take appropriate steps, or may appoint an agent to take appropriate steps, to contact the remaining such Noteholders concerning surrender of their
Notes, and the cost thereof shall be paid out of the funds in the Collection Account or any Series Account held for the benefit of such Noteholders. The Indenture Trustee and the Paying Agent shall pay to the Depositor any monies held by them for
the payment of principal or interest that remains unclaimed for two years. After payment to the Depositor, any Noteholders entitled to the money must look to the Depositor for payment as general creditors unless an applicable abandoned property law
designates another Person. 
  

 65 

 SECTION 11.3 Depositor’s Termination Rights. 

Upon the termination of the Indenture pursuant to Section 11.1, the Indenture Trustee shall assign and convey to the Owner

or thereafter created, all monies due or to become due and all amounts received with respect thereto (including all monies then held in the Collection Account, the Excess Funding Account, the Cash Collateral Account or any Series Account) and all
proceeds thereof, except for amounts held by the Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 11.2(b) for distribution in accordance with the Trust Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or any Indenture Supplement: 

(a) The Depositor may at its option be discharged from its obligations hereunder with respect to any Series or all outstanding Series
(each, a “Defeased Series”) on the date the applicable conditions set forth in Section 11.4(c) are satisfied (a “Defeasance”); provided, however, that the following rights, obligations,
powers, duties and immunities shall survive with respect to each Defeased Series until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (i) the rights of the Holders of Notes of the Defeased Series to receive, solely from the trust funds provided
for in Section 11.4(c), payments in respect of interest on and principal of such Notes when such payments are due; (ii) the Depositor’s obligations with respect to such Notes under Sections 2.4 and 2.5;
(iii) the rights, powers, trusts, duties, and immunities of the Indenture Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Transfer Agent and Registrar hereunder; and (iv) this Section. 

(b) Subject to Section 11.4(c), the Depositor at its option may cause Collections allocated to each Defeased Series and
available to purchase additional Receivables to be applied to purchase Eligible Investments rather than additional Receivables. 

(c) The following conditions must be satisfied prior to any Defeasance under Section 11.4(a): 

(i) the Depositor irrevocably has deposited or caused to be deposited with the Indenture Trustee (such deposit to be made
from other than the Depositor’s or any Affiliate of the Depositor’s funds), under the terms of an irrevocable trust agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee, as trust funds in trust in an amount sufficient to
pay and discharge (without relying on income or gain from reinvestment of such amount) all remaining scheduled interest and principal payments on all outstanding Notes of each Defeased Series on the dates scheduled for such payments in this
Indenture and the related Indenture Supplements and all amounts owing to the Series Enhancers with respect to each Defeased Series. The Depositor shall make these amounts available in cash or Eligible Investments or a combination thereof. The
Indenture Trustee shall apply all such amounts to pay and discharge the amounts specified above; 
  

 66 

 (ii) a statement from a firm of nationally recognized independent public
accountants (who may also render other services to the Depositor) to the effect that such deposit is sufficient to pay the amounts specified in clause (i) above; 

(iii) prior to its first exercise of its right pursuant to this Section with respect to a Defeased Series to substitute
money or Eligible Investments for Receivables, the Depositor has delivered to the Indenture Trustee (the preparation and delivery of which shall not be at the expense of the Indenture Trustee): 

(A) an Opinion of Counsel to the effect contemplated by clause (b) of the definition of the term “Tax
Opinion” with respect to such deposit and termination of obligations; and 
 (B) an Opinion of Counsel to
the effect that such deposit and termination of obligations shall not result in the Issuing Entity being required to register as an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act; 

(iv) the Depositor has delivered to the Indenture Trustee an Officer’s Certificate of the Depositor stating that the
Depositor reasonably believes that such deposit and termination of obligations shall not, based on the facts known to such officer at the time of such certification, then cause an Early Amortization Event with respect to any Series or any event
that, with the giving of notice or the lapse of time, would result in the occurrence of a Early Amortization Event with respect to any Series; and 

(v) the Rating Agency Condition has been satisfied.

 (iv) a statement as to whether, in the opinion of each such signatory, such condition or
covenant has been complied with. 
 (b) (i) Prior to the deposit with the Indenture Trustee of any Collateral or other property
or securities that is to be made the basis for the release of any property or securities subject to the lien of this Indenture, the Issuing Entity shall, in addition to any obligation imposed in Section 12.1(a) or elsewhere in this
Indenture, furnish to the Indenture Trustee an Officer’s Certificate certifying or stating the opinion of each Person signing such certificate as to the fair value (within 90 days of such deposit) to the Issuing Entity of the Collateral or
other property or securities to be so deposited. 
 (ii) Whenever the Issuing Entity is required to furnish to
the Indenture Trustee an Officer’s Certificate certifying or stating the opinion of any signer thereof as to the matters described in clause (b)(i) above, the Issuing Entity shall also deliver to the Indenture Trustee an Independent
Certificate as to the same matters, if the fair value to the Issuing Entity of the securities to be so deposited and of all other such securities made the basis of any such withdrawal or release since the commencement of the then current fiscal year
of the Issuing Entity, as set forth in the certificates delivered pursuant to clause (i) above and this clause (b)(ii), is 10% or more of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, but such a certificate need not be furnished with
respect to any securities so deposited, if the fair value thereof to the Issuing Entity as set forth in the related Officer’s Certificate is less than $25,000 or less than one percent of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes. 

(iii) Other than with respect to the release of any Warranty Receivables, Administrative Receivables or Defaulted
Receivables, whenever any property or securities are to be released from the lien of this Indenture, the Issuing Entity shall also furnish to the Indenture Trustee an Officer’s Certificate certifying or stating the opinion of each Person
signing such certificate as to the fair value (within 90 days of such release) of the property or securities proposed to be released and stating that in the opinion of such Person the proposed release will not impair the security under this
Indenture in contravention of the provisions hereof. 
 (iv) Whenever the Issuing Entity is required to furnish
to the Indenture Trustee an Officer’s Certificate certifying or stating the opinion of any signatory thereof as to the matters described in clause (b)(iii) above, the Issuing Entity shall also furnish to the Indenture Trustee an
Independent Certificate as to the same matters if the fair value of the property or securities and of all other property, other than Warranty Receivables, Administrative Receivables or Defaulted Receivables, or securities released from the lien of
this Indenture since the commencement of the then current calendar year, as set forth in the certificates required by clause (b)(iii) above and this clause (b)(iv), equals 10% or more of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes,
but such certificate need not be furnished in the case of any release of property or securities if the fair value thereof as set forth in the related Officer’s Certificate is less than $25,000 or less than one percent of the then Outstanding
Amount of the Notes. 
  

 68 

 (v) Notwithstanding Section 2.9 or any other provision of this
Section 12.1, the Issuing Entity may (A) collect, liquidate, sell or otherwise dispose of Receivables and related Collateral Security and proceeds of both as and to the extent permitted or required by the Basic Documents,
(B) make cash payments out of the Designated Accounts and the Certificate Distribution Account as and to the extent permitted or required by the Basic Documents and (C) take any other action not inconsistent with the TIA. 

SECTION 12.2 Form of Documents Delivered to Indenture Trustee. 

(a) 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. 

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

(c) 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. 
 (d)
Whenever in this Indenture, in connection with any application or certificate or report to the Indenture Trustee, it is provided that the Issuing Entity shall deliver any document as a condition of the granting of such application, or as evidence of
the Issuing Entity’s compliance with any term hereof, it is intended that the truth and accuracy, at the time of the granting of such application or at the effective date of such certificate or report (as the case may be), of the facts and
opinions stated in such document shall in such case be conditions precedent to the right of the Issuing Entity to have such application granted or to the sufficiency of such certificate or report. The foregoing shall not, however, be construed to
affect the Indenture Trustee’s right to rely upon the truth and accuracy of any statement or opinion contained in any such document as provided in Article VI. 

 

 69 

 SECTION 12.3 Acts of Noteholders. 

(a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or
taken by Noteholders or a series of Noteholders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Noteholders in person or by agents duly appointed in writing; and except as herein otherwise
expressly provided such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Indenture Trustee, and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Issuing Entity. 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 6.1) conclusive in favor of the Indenture Trustee and the Issuing Entity, if made in the manner provided in this Section 12.3. 

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

(d) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action by the Holder of any Notes (or any one or more
Predecessor Notes) shall bind the Holder of every Note issued upon the registration thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Indenture Trustee or the Issuing Entity in
reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Note. 
 SECTION 12.4 Notices, etc., to Indenture
Trustee, Issuing Entity and Rating Agencies. Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Noteholders or other documents provided or permitted by this Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished to or filed
with: 
 (a) the Indenture Trustee by any Noteholder or by the Issuing Entity shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if
made, given, furnished or filed in writing to or with the Indenture Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office, or 
 (b) the Issuing
Entity by the Indenture Trustee or by any Noteholder shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if in writing and either sent by electronic facsimile or email transmission (with hard copy to follow via first class mail) or mailed, by certified
mail, return receipt requested to the Issuing Entity and the Owner Trustee each at the address specified in Appendix B to the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement. 

 

 70 

 The Issuing Entity shall promptly transmit any notice received by it from the Noteholders to
the Indenture Trustee and the Indenture Trustee shall likewise promptly transmit any notice received by it from the Noteholders to the Issuing Entity. 

(c) Notices required to be given to the Rating Agencies by the Issuing Entity, the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee shall be
delivered as specified in Appendix B to the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement. 
 (d) A notice delivered by email
or facsimile shall satisfy the requirement that such notice be written or in writing. 
 SECTION 12.5 Notices to Noteholders;
Waiver. 
 (a) Where this Indenture provides for notice to Noteholders of any condition or event, such notice shall be
sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if it is in writing and mailed, first-class, postage prepaid to each Noteholder affected by such event, at such Person’s address as it appears on the Note Register, not later than
the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice. If 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 regardless of whether such notice is in fact actually
received. 
 (b) Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by any Person
entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Noteholders shall be filed with the Indenture Trustee but such filing shall not be a condition precedent
to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such a waiver. 
 (c) 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 of Noteholders when such notice is required to be given pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, then any manner of giving
such notice as shall be satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to be a sufficient giving of such notice. 
 (d)
Where this Indenture provides for notice to the Rating Agencies, failure to give such notice shall not affect any other rights or obligations created hereunder, and shall not under any circumstance constitute an Event of Default. 

SECTION 12.6 Alternate Payment and Notice Provisions. Notwithstanding any provision of this Indenture or any of the Notes to the
contrary, the Issuing Entity may enter into any agreement with any Holder of a Note providing for a method of payment, or notice by the Indenture Trustee or any Paying Agent to such Holder, that is different from the methods provided for in this
Indenture for such payments or notices. The Issuing Entity shall furnish to the Indenture Trustee a copy of each such agreement and the Indenture Trustee shall cause payments to be made and notices to be given in accordance with such agreements.

  

 71 

 SECTION 12.7 Conflict with Trust Indenture Act. 

(a) If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with another provision hereof that is required to be included in this
Indenture by any of the provisions of the TIA, such required provision shall control. 
 (b) The provisions of
TIA §§ 310 through 317 that impose duties on any Person (including the provisions automatically deemed included herein unless expressly excluded by this Indenture) are a part of and govern this Indenture, whether or not
physically contained herein. 
 SECTION 12.8 Effect of Headings and Table of Contents. The Article and Section headings
herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.

bind its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not. 
 (b) All covenants and agreements of the Indenture Trustee in
this Indenture shall bind its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not. 
 SECTION 12.10 Severability. In case
any provision in this Indenture or in the Notes shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. 

SECTION 12.11 Benefits of Indenture. Nothing in this Indenture or in the Notes, express or implied, shall give to any Person,
other than the parties hereto and their successors hereunder, the Noteholders and the Note Owners and any other party secured hereunder, and any other Person with an ownership interest in any part of the Trust Estate, any benefit or any legal or
equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture. 
 SECTION 12.12 Legal Holidays. 

If the date on which any payment is due shall not be a Business Day, then (notwithstanding any other provision of the Notes or this
Indenture) payment need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day, with the same force and effect as if made on the date on which nominally due, and no interest shall accrue for the period from and after any such
nominal date. 
 SECTION 12.13 GOVERNING LAW. THIS INDENTURE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE
INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO THE CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS THEREOF OR OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 AND SECTION 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. 
  

 72 

 SECTION 12.14 Counterparts. This Indenture may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. 

SECTION 12.15 Recording of Indenture. If this Indenture is subject to recording in any appropriate public recording offices, such
recording is to be effected by the Issuing Entity and at its expense accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel (which may be counsel to the Indenture Trustee or any other counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indenture Trustee) to the effect that such
recording is necessary either for the protection of the Noteholders or any other Person secured hereunder or for the enforcement of any right or remedy granted to the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture. 

SECTION 12.16 No Recourse. 

(a) Each Noteholder will agree by acceptance of a Note (or interest therein) that no recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with
respect to the obligations of the Issuing Entity, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee on the Notes or under this Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith or therewith, against: 

(i) the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity; 

(ii) any owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuing Entity; or 

(iii) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer, director or employee of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee
in its individual capacity, any holder of a beneficial interest in the Issuing Entity, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee or of any successor or assign of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, except as any
such Person may have expressly agreed (it being understood that the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee have no such obligations in their individual capacity) and except that any such partner, owner or beneficiary shall be fully liable, to the
extent provided by applicable law, for any unpaid consideration for stock, unpaid capital contribution or failure to pay any instalment or call owing to such entity. For all purposes of this Indenture, in the performance of any duties or obligations
of the Issuing Entity hereunder, the Owner Trustee shall be subject to, and entitled to the benefits of, the terms and provisions of Articles VI, VII and VIII of the Trust Agreement. 

(b) It is expressly understood that this Indenture has been executed by HSBC Bank USA National Association, not in its individual
capacity but solely as Owner Trustee on behalf of the Issuing Entity and except as expressly provided in the Basic Documents, none of the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in their respective individual
capacities, any owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuing Entity, nor any of their respective partners, owners, beneficiaries, agents, officers, directors, employees or successors or assigns, shall be personally liable for, nor shall recourse be
had to any of them for, the payment of principal of or interest on, or performance of, or omission to perform, any of the covenants, obligations or indemnifications contained in the Notes or this Indenture, it being expressly understood that said
covenants, obligations and indemnifications of the Issuing Entity have been made by the Issuing Entity alone. Each Noteholder or Note Owner by the acceptance of a Note (or beneficial interest therein) will agree that, except as expressly provided in
the Basic Documents, in the case of an Event of Default under this Indenture, the Holder shall have no claim against any of the foregoing for any deficiency, loss or claim therefrom; provided, however, that nothing contained herein
shall be taken to prevent recourse to, and enforcement against, the assets of the Issuing Entity for any and all liabilities, obligations and undertakings contained in this Indenture or in the Notes. 

 

 73 

 (c) If any of the foregoing covenants of a Noteholder is prohibited by, or declared illegal
or otherwise unenforceable against or with respect to any Noteholder under applicable law by any court or other authority of competent jurisdiction, and, as a result, a Noteholder is deemed to have an interest in any assets of the Depositor or any
Affiliate of the Depositor other than the Issuing Entity (“other assets”), each agrees by acceptance of a Note (or interest therein) that (i) its claim against any such other assets shall be, and hereby is, subject and subordinate in
all respects to the rights of other Persons to whom rights in the other assets have been expressly granted (“entitled Persons”), including to the payment in full of all amounts owing to such entitled Persons, and (ii) the covenant set
forth in the preceding clause (i) constitutes a “subordination agreement” within the meaning of, and subject to, Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code. 

SECTION 12.17 No Petition. The Indenture Trustee, by entering into this Indenture, and each Noteholder and Note Owner, by
accepting a Note (or interest therein) issued hereunder, hereby covenant and agree that they shall not, prior to the date which is one year and one day after the final distribution with respect to the Securities and, with respect to the Depositor,
the securities issued by each other trust formed by and each other financing by the Depositor, acquiesce, petition or otherwise invoke or cause the Depositor or the Issuing Entity to invoke the process of any court or government authority for the
purpose of commencing or sustaining a case against the Depositor or the Issuing Entity under any Insolvency Law or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other similar official of the Depositor or the
Issuing Entity or any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of the affairs of the Depositor or the Issuing Entity. 

SECTION 12.18 Inspection. The Issuing Entity agrees that, on reasonable prior notice, it shall permit any representative of the
Indenture Trustee, during the Issuing Entity’s normal business hours, to examine all the books of account, records, reports and other papers of the Issuing Entity, to make copies and extracts therefrom, to cause such books to be audited by
Independent certified public accountants, and to discuss the Issuing Entity’s affairs, finances and accounts with the Issuing Entity’s officers, employees and Independent certified public accountants, all at such reasonable times and as
often as may be reasonably requested. The Indenture Trustee shall and shall cause its representatives to hold in confidence all such information except to the extent disclosure may be required by law (and all reasonable applications for confidential
treatment are unavailing) and except to the extent that the Indenture Trustee may reasonably determine that such disclosure is consistent with its obligations hereunder. 
  

 74 

 SECTION 12.19 Indemnification of and Reimbursement of the Depositor and the Servicer.
The Indenture Trustee acknowledges and agrees to reimburse (i) the Servicer and its directors, officers, employees and agents in accordance with Section 7.3(b) of the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement and (ii) the Depositor
and its directors, officers, employees and agents in accordance with Section 3.4 of the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement. The Indenture Trustee further acknowledges and accepts the conditions and limitations with respect to the
Servicer’s obligation to indemnify, defend and hold the Indenture Trustee harmless as set forth in Section 7.1(a) of the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement. 

SECTION 12.20 Successor Servicer. In the event that the Back-up Servicer or the Indenture Trustee shall be appointed as the

conditions, limitations and qualifications set forth in the Back-up Servicing Agreement (notwithstanding any termination of the Back-up Servicing Agreement).

SECTION 13.1 Intent of the Parties; Reasonableness. 

The Depositor and the Indenture Trustee acknowledge and agree that the purpose of this Article XIII is to facilitate compliance by the
Depositor with the provisions of Regulation AB and related rules and regulations of the Commission. The Depositor shall not exercise its right to request delivery of information or other performance under these provisions other than in good faith,
or for purposes other than the Depositor’s compliance with the Securities Act, the Securities Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder (or the provision in a private offering of disclosure comparable to that
required under the Securities Act). The Indenture Trustee agrees to cooperate in good faith with any reasonable request by the Depositor for information regarding the Indenture Trustee which is required in order to enable the Depositor to comply
with the provisions of Items 1103(a)(1), 1109(a), 1109(b), 1117, 1118, 1119 and 1122 of Regulation AB as it relates to the Indenture Trustee or to the Indenture Trustee’s obligations under this Indenture or any indenture supplement. 

SECTION 13.2 Reporting Requirements. 

(a) If required of the Indenture Trustee by Regulation AB, the Indenture Trustee will deliver to the Depositor, the Owner Trustee and the
Servicer on or before March 1 of each year, beginning March 1, 2011, an officer’s certificate, dated as of December 31 of the preceding calendar year, signed by a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee to the effect that
(i) a review of the Indenture Trustee’s activities during the immediately preceding calendar year (or, in the case of the first certificate, since the Closing Date) and of its performance under this Indenture has been made under such
Responsible Officer’s supervision and (ii) to such Responsible Officer’s knowledge, based on such review, the Indenture Trustee has fulfilled in all material respects all of its obligations under this Indenture throughout such
calendar year (or applicable portion of such calendar year), or, if there has been a failure to fulfill any such obligation in any material respect, specifically identifying each such failure known to such Responsible Officer and the nature and
status of such failure. If the Issuing Entity is not required to file periodic reports under the Exchange Act or otherwise required by law to file an officer’s certificate of the Indenture Trustee as to compliance, such officer’s
certificate may be delivered on or before April 1 of each calendar year. 
  

 75 

 (b) If required of the Indenture Trustee under Regulation AB, the Indenture Trustee will:

 (i) deliver to the Depositor, the Owner Trustee and the Servicer, a report, dated as of December 31 of
the preceding calendar year, on its assessment of compliance with the minimum Servicing Criteria regarding general servicing, cash and collection administration, investor remittances and reporting and pool asset administration during the preceding
calendar year (or, in the case of the first year, since no later than the Closing Date), including disclosure of any material instance of non-compliance identified by the Indenture Trustee, as required by Rule 13a-18 and 15d-18 of the Exchange Act
and Item 1122 of Regulation AB under the Securities Act. 
 (ii) cause a firm of registered public
accountants (the “Firm”) that is qualified and independent within the meaning of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act to deliver to the Depositor, Owner Trustee and the Servicer an attestation report that satisfies
the requirements of Rule 13a-18 or Rule 15d-18 under the Exchange Act, as applicable, on the assessment of compliance with Servicing Criteria with respect to the prior calendar year (or, in the case of the first year, since no later than the Closing
Date). Such attestation report will be addressed to the board of directors of the Servicer and the Depositor. Such attestation report will be in accordance with Rules 1-02(a)(3) and 2-02(g) of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act and the Exchange
Act. The Firm may render other services to the Indenture Trustee, but the Firm must indicate in each attestation report that it is qualified and independent within the meaning of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act. 

(c) The reports referred to in Section 13.2(b) hereof shall be delivered on or before March 1 of each year that the
Issuing Entity is required to submit an annual report to the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 10-K, beginning March 1, 2011. 

SECTION 13.3 Additional Representations and Warranties of the Indenture Trustee. 

The Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to represent to the Depositor, as of the date on which information is provided to the Depositor
under Section 7.4 that, except as disclosed in writing to the Depositor prior to such date to the best of its knowledge, but without independent investigation: (i) neither the execution, delivery and performance by the Indenture
Trustee of this Indenture or any indenture supplement, the performance by the Indenture Trustee of its obligations under this Indenture or any indenture supplement nor the consummation of any of the transactions by the Indenture Trustee contemplated
thereby, is in violation of any indenture, mortgage, bank credit agreement, note or bond purchase agreement, long-term lease, license or other agreement or instrument to which the Indenture Trustee is a party or by which it is bound, which violation
would have a material adverse effect on the Indenture Trustee’s ability to perform its obligations under this Indenture or any indenture supplement, or of any judgment or order applicable to the Indenture Trustee; and (ii) there are no
proceedings pending or threatened against the Indenture Trustee in any court or before any governmental authority, agency or arbitration board or tribunal which, individually or in the aggregate, would have a material adverse effect on the right,
power and authority of the Indenture Trustee to enter into this Indenture or any indenture supplement or to perform its obligations under this Indenture or any indenture supplement. 

 

 76 

 Section 13.4 Information to be Provided by the Indenture Trustee. The Indenture
Trustee shall (i) on or before the fifth Business Day of each month, provide to the Depositor, in writing, such information regarding the Indenture Trustee as is requested for the purpose of compliance with Item 1117 of Regulation AB, and

as Indenture Trustee for 

Ally Master Owner Trust 
 Ladies
and Gentlemen: 
 In connection with the purchase of a Note subject to Section 2.15 of the Indenture dated as of
February 12, 2010 (the “Unregistered Note”) of the Ally Master Owner Trust, the undersigned buyer (“Buyer”) hereby acknowledges, represents and agrees that: 

(a) The Buyer has received the [describe offering document] relating to the offering of the Unregistered Note (including exhibits
thereto). 
 (b) The Buyer understands that the Unregistered Note has not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the “Securities Act”), and may not be sold except as permitted in the following sentence. The Buyer agrees, on its own behalf and on behalf of any accounts for which it is acting as hereinafter stated, that such
Unregistered Note may be resold, pledged or transferred only (i) to an institutional investor that is an “Accredited Investor” as defined in Rule 501(a)(1),(2),(3) or (7) (an “Institutional Accredited
Investor”) under the Securities Act acting for its own account (and not for the account of others) or as a fiduciary or agent for others (which others also are Institutional Accredited Investors unless the holder is a bank acting in its
