SEPARATION AGREEMENT AND GENERAL RELEASE OF CLAIMS
This Separation Agreement and General Release of Claims (“Agreement”) is entered into by and between QCR Holdings, Inc., for itself and subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively, “Employer” or “QCRH”), and Robert Fulp (“Employee”) (Employer and Employee are each a Party and collectively referred to as “Parties”), as of the last date set forth on the signature page hereof but effective as of the Effective Date defined in Section 28 below.
RECITALS
WHEREAS, Employee is employed by Employer in the position of Chief Executive Officer of Springfield First Community Bank (“SFC”) pursuant to the terms of their Employment Agreement dated April 17, 2018 (the “Employment Agreement”);
WHEREAS, Employee has expressed his desire to retire, and Employer and Employee have mutually decided that Employee’s employment relationship with Employer will terminate in accordance with the terms of the Employment Agreement, effective February 11, 2021 (the “Separation Date”);
WHEREAS, the Parties wish to establish the terms of Employee’s separation and resolve any and all disputes and demands that Employee may have against Employer as defined herein, including, but not limited to, any and all claims arising or in any way related to Employee’s employment with, or separation from, Employer;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and obligations set forth in this Agreement, and for good and valuable consideration, the Parties agree as follows:
1.No Admission of Liability. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to be an admission by Employer of any wrongdoing or noncompliance with any federal, state, or local rule, ordinance, constitution, statute, contract, public policy, wage and hour law, wage payment law, tort law, common law, or any other unlawful conduct, liability, wrongdoing, or breach of any duty whatsoever. Employer specifically disclaims and denies any wrongdoing or liability to Employee.
2.Garden Leave Until Separation Date; Employee’s Obligations During Garden Leave. Between the date that Employee is presented with this Agreement and the Separation Date, Employee shall be on Garden Leave (the “Garden Leave Period”).  During the Garden Leave Period Employee’s employment status and obligations and Employer’s rights will be as follows in this Section 2:
(a)Employee Obligations During Garden Leave Period. Employee will remain employed by Employer and shall continue to owe a duty of loyalty and fiduciary duty to Employer during that time.  Thus, Employee is not permitted to perform any activities that are contrary to Employer’s best interests or that do, are designed to, or ordinarily would generate income for Employee or any other person or entity during the Garden Leave Period.  During the Garden Leave Period, the Company reserves the right, in its sole discretion:
(i)to remove the Employee from his active duties and responsibilities, in whole or in part;
​

(ii)to exclude the Employee from Employer’s workplace;
(iii)to limit or prohibit the Employee's contact and communications with Employer’s staff and its customers; and
(iv)to limit or cut off Employee's access to Employer’s computer systems, email, and other documents and information.
(b)Employer’s Right to Shorten Garden Leave. Employer reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to shorten the Garden Leave period by either requesting that Employee report to work or perform other duties, or by terminating the Employee's employment and paying Employee for the remainder of the Garden Leave Period.  If Employee fails to comply with instructions from Employer during the Garden Leave Period, the Company is entitled to all available legal and equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction, including but not limited to a temporary restraining order without the need for the posting of any bond.
(c)Compensation and Benefits During Garden Leave. During the Garden Leave Period, Employer will continue to pay Employee's current base salary and benefits, less applicable withholdings. Employee will remain eligible for any bonus, commissions, or other benefits, such as vacation accrual, during the Garden Leave Period.
3.Effect of Employee’s Separation.  After the Separation Date, Employee will not represent himself as being a current employee, officer, agent, or representative of Employer for any purpose. Prior to the Separation Date and upon Employer’s request, Employee agrees to execute all documents necessary to effect his resignation from the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company or any subsidiary or affiliated entity of the Company.  Provided that Employee accepts this Agreement and does not revoke it, for purposes of the Employment Agreement, Employer will treat Executive’s termination as a Voluntary Resignation for Good Reason (as defined in the Employment Agreement).
4.Separation Date is the Termination Date. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, the Separation Date is the employment termination date for the Employee for all purposes, including for fringe or welfare benefit calculations and termination dates.   For the avoidance of any doubt, except as may be provided in this Agreement, Employee will not be eligible to earn or accrue any further compensation, monies, or other benefits from Employer, including coverage under any benefit plans or programs sponsored by the Employer, as of the Separation Date.
5.Minimum Payments Upon Separation. Regardless of whether Employee signs this Agreement, upon the Separation Date, or as soon as practicable thereafter, Employee will receive the following Minimum Payments from Employer:
(a)Earned but Unpaid Portion of Current Base Salary.  Following the Separation Date, Employee will receive that portion of his current annual base salary which had been earned but unpaid, less applicable deductions and withholdings, in accordance with the Company’s usual and customary payroll practices and applicable law.
​

(b)Fiscal Year 2020 Incentive Compensation. Employee will receive his performance based annual deferred cash compensation for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2020 (the “Cash Bonus”). The Cash Bonus shall be determined in accordance with QCRH’s or the SFC’s, as the case may be, performance-based incentive compensation program in effect during fiscal year 2020 for senior executive employees and will be based on a target of thirty percent (30%) of Employee’s current base salary.  The Cash Bonus will be paid to Employee, less applicable deductions and withholdings, in a single installment within sixty (60) days of the Separation Date.  Employer shall issue a Form W-2 to Employee for this payment.
(c)Accrued but Unused Paid Time Off.  Following the Separation Date, Employee will receive the monetary equivalent of his accrued but unused vacation time and other eligible paid time off, less applicable deductions and withholdings, in accordance with the Company’s usual and customary vacation and payroll practices and applicable law.
(d)Expense Reimbursement. Employer will reimburse Employee for any unreimbursed out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Employee in connection with the performance of his duties before the Separation Date in accordance with Employer’s expense reimbursement policies and procedures.
(e)Other Benefits. Employee’s rights with respect to any benefits, incentives or awards provided to the Employee pursuant to the terms and conditions of any plan, program or arrangement sponsored or maintained by Employer, whether tax-qualified or not, which are not specifically addressed herein, shall be subject to the terms and conditions of such plan, program or arrangement, and this Agreement shall have no effect upon such terms and conditions except as specifically provided herein.
6.Consideration.  In consideration of Employee’s execution of and compliance with this Agreement, including Employee’s waiver and release of claims in Sections 7 and 8, Employer agrees to make the following payments, to which Employee is not otherwise entitled, provided that Employee accepts and has not revoked this Agreement in accordance with its terms:
(a)Severance. A total of Eight Hundred Three Thousand Six Hundred Thirty-Nine Dollars and Ninety-Four Cents ($803,639.94) (“Severance Pay”), less all relevant taxes and other withholdings, will be paid to Employee in equal monthly installments (on the first regular pay day of each month, in accordance with Employer’s usual and customary payroll practices of each month) over the 24-month period following the Separation Date.  The first such installment shall be made on the first regularly scheduled day of the month following the sixtieth (60th) day after the Separation Date and shall be in the amount of one-twelfths (1/12) of the Severance Pay due to Employee, and each of the remaining twenty-two (22) installments shall be in the amount of one-twenty-fourths (1/24) Severance Pay.
(b)Vesting of Otherwise Forfeited Equity Awards.  To the extent not previously vested under the terms of an applicable plan or award documents, Employer shall permit the vesting of any equity awards previously granted to Employee by Employer (whether in the form of stock options or shares of restricted stock) such that all of the unvested shares shall not be forfeited and instead become vested in accordance with the schedule set forth in Exhibit A.
​

(c)COBRA Reimbursement for Medical and Dental Benefits.  Subject to the conditions outlined in Section 6(f) of the Employment Agreement, if Employee timely elects continued group medical and dental coverage pursuant to the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended (“COBRA”), Employer will either pay directly or reimburse Employee for the COBRA premium payments for Executive and his eligible dependents to the extent such COBRA premium payments exceed premiums paid by then-current employees of Employer for similar coverage for the period following the Separation Date until the last day of the month in which Employee reaches the age of 65 (i.e., April 2022, or until such earlier time as Employee ends his participation in such coverage).
(d)Automobile Lease Reimbursement.  Subject to the provisions in Section 13(a) of this Agreement, Employer will reimburse Employee for the monthly lease payments owed to the vehicle Lessor following transfer of the lease of Employee’s Company car to Employee through December 31, 2021.  Such lease reimbursement payments, which shall not exceed a maximum monthly amount of One Thousand Eight Hundred Thirty-Five Dollars and Nineteen Cents ($1,835.19), will be made upon presentation by Employee of such documentation, expense statements, vouchers and/or other supporting information as Employer may request.
(e)Country Club Dues Reimbursement.  Employer will reimburse Employee for his annual membership dues at Hickory Hill Country Club in Springfield, Missouri in calendar years 2021 and 2022, up to a maximum annual amount of Eight Thousand Dollars and Zero Cents ($8,000.00), upon presentation by Employee of such documentation, expense statements, vouchers and/or other supporting information as Employer may request.
Employee agrees and acknowledges that, other than as provided for in this Agreement, Employee has been properly paid for all hours worked for Employer, that all salary, wages, commissions, bonuses, and other compensation due to Employee have been paid, and that Employee is not owed anything else from Employer.

10.No Outstanding or Known Future Claims/Causes of Action. Employee affirms that Employee has not filed with any governmental agency or court any type of action or report against Employer or any of the Released Parties, and currently knows of no existing act or omission that may constitute a claim or liability excluded from the releases in Sections 7 and 8 above.
11.Confidential Information.  Employee agrees and affirms that as consideration for the Employee’s execution of, non-revocation of, and compliance with this Section 11 of this Agreement, the Employer agreed to provide the Consideration described in Section 6 of this Agreement, to which the employee is not otherwise entitled:
(a)Employee understands and acknowledges that during the course of Employee’s employment by Employer, Employee has had access to and learned about confidential, secret, and proprietary documents, materials, and other information, in tangible and intangible form, of and relating to Employer and its business and existing and prospective clients, suppliers, investors, and other associated third parties (“Confidential Information”). Employee further understands and acknowledges that this Confidential Information and Employer’s ability to reserve it for the exclusive knowledge and use of Employer is of great competitive importance and commercial value to Employer, and that improper use or disclosure of the Confidential Information by Employee might cause Employer to incur financial costs, loss of business advantage, liability under confidentiality agreements with third parties, civil damages, and criminal penalties.
(b)For purposes of this Agreement, Confidential Information includes, but is not limited to, all information not generally known to the public, in spoken, printed, electronic, or any other form or medium, relating directly or indirectly to the Released Parties’: business processes, practices, methods, policies, plans, publications, documents, research, operations, services, strategies, techniques, agreements, contracts, terms of agreements, transactions, potential transactions, negotiations, pending negotiations, know-how, trade secrets, computer programs, computer software, applications, operating systems, software design, web design, work-in-process, databases, device configurations, embedded data, compilations, metadata, algorithms, technologies, manuals, records, articles, systems, material, sources of material, supplier information, vendor information, financial information, results, accounting information, accounting records, legal information, marketing information, advertising information, pricing information, credit information, design information, payroll information, staffing information, personnel information, employee lists, supplier lists, vendor lists, developments, reports, internal controls, security procedures, graphics, drawings, sketches, analyses, market studies, forecasts, sales information, revenue, costs, formulae, notes, memoranda, communications, product plans, designs, styles, models, ideas, audiovisual programs, inventions, unpublished patent applications, original works of authorship, discoveries, experimental processes, experimental results, specifications, customer information, customer lists, client information, client lists, manufacturing information, factory lists, distributor lists, and buyer lists or of any other person or entity that has entrusted information to Employer in confidence.
​

Employee understands that the above list is not exhaustive, and that Confidential Information also includes other information that is marked or otherwise identified or treated as confidential or proprietary, or that would otherwise appear to a reasonable person to be confidential or proprietary in the context and circumstances in which the information is known or used.
Employee understands and agrees that Confidential Information and work product developed by Employee in the course of Employee’s employment by Employer is subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement as if Employer furnished the same Confidential Information to Employee in the first instance. Confidential Information shall not include information that is generally available to and known by the public at the time of disclosure to Employee, provided that the disclosure is through no direct or indirect fault of Employee or person(s) acting on Employee’s behalf.
(c)Disclosure and Use Restrictions. Employee agrees and covenants:
(i)to treat all Confidential Information as strictly confidential;
(ii)not to directly or indirectly disclose, publish, communicate, or make available Confidential Information, or allow it to be disclosed, published, communicated, or made available, in whole or part, to any entity or person whatsoever (including other employees or former employees of Employer) not having a need to know and authority to know and use the Confidential Information in connection with the business of Employer and, in any event, not to anyone outside of the direct employ of Employer; and
(iii)not to access or use any Confidential Information and not to copy or retain any documents, records, files, media, or other resources containing any Confidential Information, or remove any such documents, records, files, media, or other resources from the premises or control of Employer.
(d)Permitted Disclosures. Nothing herein shall be construed to prevent disclosure of Confidential Information as may be required by applicable law or regulation, or pursuant to the valid order of a court of competent jurisdiction or an authorized government agency, provided that the disclosure does not exceed the extent of disclosure required by such law, regulation, or order.  Employee shall promptly provide written notice of any such order to Todd Gipple, QCRH President, via mail (3551 7th Street, Moline, Illinois 61265) and/or email (TGipple@qcrh.com), with a copy to outside counsel for Employer in accordance with Section 26 below.
Nothing in this confidentiality provision prohibits or restricts Employee (or Employee’s attorney) from initiating communications directly with, responding to an inquiry from, or providing testimony before the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), any other self-regulatory organization or any other federal or state regulatory authority regarding this settlement or its underlying facts or circumstances.
Pursuant to 18 USC § 1833(b), an individual may not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for disclosure of a trade secret: (i) made in confidence to a government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney, solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; and/or (ii) in a complaint or
​

8

other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. Additionally, an individual suing an employer for retaliation based on the reporting of a suspected violation of law may disclose a trade secret to his or her attorney and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding, so long as any document containing the trade secret is filed under seal and the individual does not disclose the trade secret except pursuant to court order.
12.Restrictive Covenants. QCRH is a multi-bank holding company serving communities in the Midwest through its wholly-owned subsidiary banks, including SFC.  Employee served in the key position of Chief Executive Officer of SFC.  Employee understands and acknowledges that the services the Employee provided to Employer and its customers were unique, and that Employer’s ability to reserve these for the exclusive knowledge and use of Employer is of great competitive importance and commercial value to Employer.  Employee further acknowledges that improper use or disclosure by Employee is likely to result in unfair or unlawful competitive activity.
(a)Non-Competition. Because of Employer’s legitimate business interest as described in this Agreement and the good and valuable Consideration offered to Employee as described in Section 6, the sufficiency of which is acknowledged, for a period of twenty-four (24) months, to run consecutively beginning on the Separation Date (the “Restricted Period”), Employee agrees and covenants not to engage in Prohibited Activity within the area that encompasses a 50-mile radius from Springfield, Missouri (“the “Restricted Territory”).
(i)For purposes of this non-compete clause, “Prohibited Activity” is activity in which Employee, within the Restricted Territory, engages or invests in, owns, manages, operates, finances, controls, or participates in the ownership, management, operation or control of, is employed by, associated with, or in any manner connected with, serves as a director, officer or consultant to, lends his name or any similar name to, lends his credit to, or renders services or advice to, any person, firm, partnership, corporation or trust which owns, operates or is in the process of forming, a bank, savings and loan association, credit union or similar financial institution (a “Financial Institution”) with an office located, or to be located at an address identified in a filing with any regulatory authority, within the Restricted Area.  Prohibited Activity also includes activity that may require or inevitably require disclosure of trade secrets, proprietary information, or Confidential Information.
Nothing in this agreement shall prohibit Employee from purchasing or owning less than five percent (5%) of the publicly traded securities of any corporation, provided that such ownership represents a passive investment and that the Employee is not a controlling person of, or a member of a group that controls, such corporation.
This Section does not, in any way, restrict or impede the Employee from exercising protected rights to the extent that such rights cannot be waived by agreement or from complying with any applicable law or regulation or a valid order of a court of competent jurisdiction or an authorized government agency, provided that such compliance does not exceed that required by the law, regulation, or order. Employee shall promptly provide written notice of any such order to Todd Gipple, QCRH President, via mail (3551 7th Street, Moline, Illinois 61265) and/or email (TGipple@qcrh.com), with a copy to outside counsel for Employer in accordance with Section 26 below.
​

(b)Non-Solicitation of Employees.  The Employee understands and acknowledges that Employer has expended and continues to expend significant time and expense in recruiting and training its employees and that the loss of employees would cause significant and irreparable harm to the Employer. Employee agrees and covenants not to directly or indirectly solicit, hire, recruit, or attempt to solicit, hire, or recruit, any of Employer’s employees or any person who was employed by Employer in the twelve (12) months preceding Employee’s Separation Date (collectively, “Covered Employee”), or induce the termination of employment of any Covered Employee for a period of twenty-four (24) months, to run consecutively beginning on the Separation Date.
This non-solicitation provision explicitly covers all forms of oral, written, or electronic communication, including, but not limited to, communications by email, regular mail, express mail, telephone, fax, instant message, and social media, including, but not limited to, Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, Twitter, and any other social media platform, whether or not in existence at the time of entering into this Agreement.
However, it will not be deemed a violation of this Agreement if Employee merely updates Employee’s LinkedIn profile or connects with a Covered Employee on Facebook, LinkedIn, or other social media platform without engaging in any other substantive communication, by social media or otherwise, that is prohibited by this Section.  Moreover, Employee shall not be precluded from hiring any officer, director, manager or employee who responds to any public advertisement (which is not directed or focused on personnel of Employer or any of its subsidiaries) placed by Employee or who otherwise contacts the Employee on his, her or its own initiative without any direct or indirect solicitation by the Employee.
(c)Non-Solicitation of Customers.  Employee understands and acknowledges that because of Employee’s experience with and relationship to Employer, Employee has had access to and has learned about much or all of the Employer’s client information, including, but not limited to, Confidential Information. “Customer Information” includes, but is not limited to, names, phone numbers, addresses, email addresses, order history, order preferences, chain of command, pricing information, and other information identifying facts and circumstances specific to the customer and relevant to the services Employer provides.
Employee understands and acknowledges that: (i) Employer’s relationships with its clients is of great competitive value; (ii) Employer has invested and continues to invest substantial resources in developing and preserving its client relationships and goodwill; and (iii) the loss of any such client relationship or goodwill will cause significant and irreparable harm to Employer.
Because of Employer’s legitimate business interest and for good and valuable consideration in the form of Severance Pay, as described in Section 6(a), Employee agrees and covenants, for a period of twenty-four (24) months to run consecutively beginning on the Separation Date not to:
(i)either for the Employee or any Financial Institution directly or indirectly solicit, contact, or attempt to solicit or contact, using any other form of oral, written, or electronic communication, including, but not limited to, email, regular mail, express mail, telephone, fax, or instant message, or social media,
​

10

including but not limited to Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram or Twitter, or any other social media platform, whether or not in existence at the time of entering into this agreement, or meet with the Employer’s or affiliates’ current, former, or prospective customers for purposes of contracting with, becoming employed by, servicing, or offering or accepting goods or services similar to or competitive with those offered by the Employer. However, it will not be deemed a violation of this Agreement if the Employee merely updates his LinkedIn profile without engaging in any other substantive communication, by social media or otherwise, that is prohibited by this Section; or
(ii)induce or attempt to induce any customer, supplier, licensee, or business relation of Employer or its affiliates to cease doing business with Employer or its affiliates or in any way interfere with the relationship between Employer or its affiliates and their respective customers, suppliers, licensees, or business relations.
13.Return of Documents, and Other Property; Transfer of Lease of Company Automobile. Employee represents that to the extent not previously collected, by the Separation Date Employee will return to Employer all Employer Confidential Information or other property, and any and all copies of any documents, identification cards, badges, access codes or devices, keys, laptops, computers, telephones, mobile phones, hand-held electronic devices, credit cards, electronically stored documents or files, physical files, and any other Employer property in Employee’s possession.  Employee’s surrender of Employer property should be coordinated through QCRH President Todd Gipple and Senior Vice President of Human Resources Anne Howard.
(a)Transfer of Lease of Company Car.  Assuming the vehicle Lessor consents to a transfer and Employee meets all of Lessor’s qualifications imposed on Lessees, Employer will take such steps as may be required by the Lessor to transfer the lease of Employee’s Company car to Employee, such that Employee, personally, will assume all rights, liabilities, and obligations under the Lease as if he were the Lessee in the first instance.  For the avoidance of any doubt, Employee agrees and acknowledges that, following the transfer, Employee, and not Employer, will have sole responsibility for any obligations under the Lease, and for any liabilities that arise from being the vehicle Lessee (e.g., insurance, registration fees, maintenance, etc.)  However, for the remaining term of the lease, Employer will reimburse Employee for the lease payments in accordance with Section 6(d).  In the event the Lessor does not consent to Employee’s assumption of the lease, then Employee will be required to surrender his Company car, all keys thereto, and all related registration and insurance documentation within seven (7) days of being notified by Employer that a lease transfer will not be permitted.  If the Lessor does not consent to the lease transfer, Employee agrees and acknowledges that he will not receive the payments in Section 6(d).
14.Cooperation. Employee provided unique and valuable services to Employer and its customers.  The parties therefore agree that certain matters in which the Employee has been involved during the Employee's employment may need the Employee's cooperation with Employer in the future. Accordingly, for a period of two (2) years after the Separation Date, Employee shall cooperate with the Employer regarding matters arising out of or related to the Employee's service to the Employer. The Employer shall reimburse Employee for reasonable expenses incurred in connection with this cooperation, and, to the extent that the Employee is required to spend substantial time on such matters, Employer shall compensate the Employee
​

11

at an hourly rate based on the Employee’s base salary on the Separation Date; provided, however, that Employer shall have no obligation to compensate Employee under this Section 14 for his cooperation or assistance in any matter in which Employee is accused of wrongdoing or named as a defendant or respondent.
15.Mutual Non-Disparagement. Employee shall not at any time make, publish, or communicate to any person or entity or in any public forum any defamatory, maliciously false, or disparaging remarks, comments, or statements concerning any Released Parties, now or in the future.  Employer, for its part, will not knowingly disparage or make any derogatory statements regarding Employee; provided, however, that the Company’s obligations under this Section 15 shall be limited to communications by QCRH’s and SFC’s senior corporate executives having the rank of Senior Vice President or above and members of the Board.
This Section does not, in any way, restrict or impede Employee from exercising protected rights, to the extent that these rights cannot be waived by agreement or from complying with any applicable law or regulation or a valid order of a court of competent jurisdiction or an authorized government agency, provided that such compliance does not exceed that required by the law, regulation, or order. Employee shall promptly provide written notice of any such order to Todd Gipple, QCRH President, via mail (3551 7th Street, Moline, Illinois 61265) and/or email (TGipple@qcrh.com), with a copy to outside counsel for Employer in accordance with Section 26 below.
16.Waiver of Future Employment. Employee waives all rights and claims to employment with Employer and agrees that Employee will not knowingly seek or accept future employment with Employer or Employer’s current or future parents, subsidiaries, and other corporate affiliates or with any successor or assign. Employee agrees that if Employer or Employer’s parents, subsidiaries, and other corporate affiliates or any successor or assign declines to employ Employee, they shall not be liable for any damages.
17.Neutral Reference. Employee agrees to direct all requests for references to Todd Gipple, QCRH President, via mail (3551 7th Street, Moline, Illinois 61265) and/or email (TGipple@qcrh.com). In response to a request for a reference, Employer shall provide only Employee’s dates of employment and job title.
18.Successors and Assigns. Employer may freely assign this Agreement at any time. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of Employer and its successors and assigns. Employee shall not assign this Agreement in whole or in part. Any purported assignment by Employee shall be null and void from the initial date of the purported assignment.
19.Remedies and Enforcement. In the event of a breach or threatened breach by Employee of any of the provisions of this Agreement, Employee hereby consents and agrees that Employer will be entitled to discontinue any payments under Section 6 not yet made to him, to the extent permitted by law.  Further, Employee agrees that to the extent money damages would not afford an adequate remedy and that Employer shall be entitled to seek a temporary or permanent injunction or other provisional relief against such breach or threatened breach, as contemplated in Section 25 of this Agreement, without the necessity of showing any actual damages, and without the necessity of posting any bond or other security. Any injunctive or provisional relief shall be in addition to, not in lieu of, legal remedies, monetary damages, or other available relief.
​

12

In the event of a material breach by Employee of any of the provisions of this Agreement, Employee hereby consents and agrees that Employer shall further be entitled to seek, in addition to other available remedies, an award for liquidated damages in an amount equal to Ten Thousand Dollars and Zero Cents ($10,000.00) for each material breach (the “Liquidated Damages”). The Parties acknowledge and agree that Employee’s harm caused by a material breach would be impossible or very difficult to accurately estimate at the time of the breach and that the Liquidated Damages are a reasonable estimate of the anticipated or actual harm that might arise from a material breach.
The Parties mutually agree that this Agreement can be cited as evidence in arbitration or legal proceedings alleging breach of this Agreement.
20.Modification and Waiver. No provision of this Agreement may be amended or modified unless the amendment or modification is agreed to in writing and signed by Employee and by Employer’s Chief Executive Officer or President. No waiver by any Party of any breach by any other party of any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by any other party shall be deemed a waiver of any other provision or condition, nor shall the failure of or delay by any Party in exercising any right, power, or privilege under this Agreement operate as a waiver to preclude any other or further exercise of any right, power, or privilege.
21.Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect, or enforceable only if modified, such finding shall not affect the validity of the remainder of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be binding on the Parties.
22.Captions. Captions and headings of the sections and paragraphs of this Agreement are intended solely for convenience and no provision of this Agreement is to be construed by reference to the caption or heading of any section or paragraph.
23.Counterparts. The Parties may execute this Agreement in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart’s signature page of this Agreement, by facsimile, electronic mail in portable document format (.pdf), or by any other electronic means intended to preserve the original graphic and pictorial appearance of a document, has the same effect as delivery of an executed original of this Agreement.
24.Entire Agreement. This Agreement represents the entire agreement and understanding between the Company and Employee concerning Employee’s separation from the Company, and supersedes and replaces any and all prior agreements and understandings between the Parties concerning Employee’s relationship with the Company and Employee’s compensation by the Company, all such prior agreements and understandings being merged herein. In the event of any inconsistency between this Agreement and any other agreement between Employee and Employer, the statements in this Agreement shall control.
25.Governing Law; Arbitration; Attorneys’ Fees.  This Agreement, and all rights, duties, and remedies hereunder shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Missouri, without reference to its choice of law rules, except as preempted by federal law. The Parties agree that any and all disputes arising out of the terms of this Agreement, Employee’s employment Employer, Employee’s service as an officer or director of SFC, or Employee’s compensation and benefits, their interpretation, and any of the matters herein released, will be subject to binding arbitration in St. Louis, Missouri,
​

13

before the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc., under the American Arbitration Association’s National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes, supplemented by the Missouri Rules of Civil Procedure.  The Parties agree that the prevailing party in any arbitration will be entitled to injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to enforce the arbitration award.  The Parties agree to waive their right to have any dispute between them resolved in a court of law by a judge or jury.  This paragraph will not prevent either party from seeking injunctive relief (or any other provisional remedy) from any court having jurisdiction over the Parties and the subject matter of their dispute relating to Executive’s obligations under this Agreement and the Confidential Information Agreement. Any such action or proceeding by either of the Parties for injunctive or provisional relief shall be brought only in the County of St. Louis, Missouri or in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri.
Should any Party institute any arbitration or seek injunctive or provisional relief from a court to enforce, interpret, or apply any provision of this Agreement, the Parties agree that the prevailing party shall be entitled to seek reimbursement from the non-prevailing party of their recoverable costs and expenses, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, but all such costs and/or fees shall be awarded in the arbitrator’s or judge’s sole discretion. The arbitrator or judge shall base their determination of which party prevailed upon an assessment of which party’s arguments or positions could fairly be said to have prevailed over the other party’s arguments or positions on major disputed issues in the action, accounting for the possibility that in some circumstances it is appropriate to conclude that neither party prevailed.  Such assessment should include evaluation of the following:  the amount of the net recovery and/or value of the object of the action to the prevailing party; whether the prevailing party could have secured complete relief without also pursuing claims for equitable or declaratory relief; the primary issues disputed by the parties and the relative value or importance of resolving such issues to either the prevailing party or the non-prevailing party; whether the amount of the award comprises a significant percentage of the amount sought by the prevailing party where relief is sought in the form of damages; and the most recent settlement positions of the parties.
26.Notices. All notices under this Agreement must be timely given in writing by regular mail or receipted email at the addresses indicated in this Agreement. When providing written notice to Employer, a copy must be provided to Employer’s outside counsel at the addresses below.  Notice to the Employee must be provided to Employee at the address below:
Notice to Employer:
Allison N. Powers, Esq.
Barack, Ferrazzano, Kirschbaum & Nagelberg LLP

Chicago, IL 60606
(312) 629-5130

​
Notice to Employee:
At the last residential address known by Employer.
27.Tax Matters; Section 409A. Employee agrees and acknowledges that neither Employer nor its counsel have made any representations to Employee regarding the tax consequences of any payments or transactions contemplated by this Agreement.   Rather,
​

14

Employee has reviewed with Employee’s own tax advisors the federal, state, local, and/or foreign tax consequences of the payments and transactions contemplated by this Agreement and is relying solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of Employer, or any of its agents. Employee understands that Employee (and not Employer) shall be responsible for any tax liability that may arise as a result of the payments and transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
This Agreement is intended to comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (Section 409A), including the exceptions thereto, and shall be construed and administered in accordance with such intent. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, payments provided under this Agreement may only be made upon an event and in a manner that complies with Section 409A or an applicable exemption. Any payments under this Agreement that may be excluded from Section 409A either as separation pay due to an involuntary separation from service, as a short-term deferral, or as a settlement payment pursuant to a bona fide legal dispute shall be excluded from Section 409A to the maximum extent possible. For purposes of Section 409A, any installment payments provided under this Agreement shall each be treated as a separate payment. To the extent required under Section 409A, any payments to be made under this Agreement in connection with a termination of employment shall only be made if such termination constitutes a “separation from service” under Section 409A. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Employer makes no representations that the payments and benefits provided under this Agreement comply with Section 409A and in no event shall Employer be liable for all or any portion of any taxes, penalties, interest, or other expenses that may be incurred by Employee on account of non-compliance with Section 409A.
28.Knowing and Voluntary Acknowledgment/Effective Date. Employee specifically agrees and acknowledges that:
(a)Employee has read this Agreement in its entirety and understands all of its terms;
(b)by this instrument, Employee has been advised to consult with an attorney before executing this Agreement, and has consulted with such counsel, who helped to negotiate this Agreement, as Employee deemed necessary;
(c)Employee knowingly, freely, and voluntarily assents to all of its terms and conditions including, without limitation, the waiver, release, and covenants contained herein;
(d)Employee is executing this Agreement, including the waiver and release, in exchange for good and valuable consideration in addition to anything of value to which Employee is otherwise entitled; and
(e)Employee is not waiving or releasing rights or claims that may arise after Employee executes this Agreement.
This Agreement shall not become effective until the eighth (8th) day after Employee signs, without revoking, this Agreement (the “Effective Date”).  No Consideration due to Employee under this Agreement shall be made before the Effective Date.

only evidence, that such Note has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. 

SECTION 2.3            Temporary
Notes.    Pending the preparation of Definitive Notes, the Issuer may execute, and upon receipt of an Issuer Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, 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 not inconsistent with the terms of this Indenture as the officers executing such Notes may determine, as evidenced by
their execution of such Notes. 
 If temporary Notes are issued, the Issuer will cause Definitive Notes to be prepared
without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of Definitive Notes, the temporary Notes shall be exchangeable for Definitive Notes upon surrender of the temporary Notes at the office or agency of the Issuer to be maintained as provided in
Section 3.2, without charge to the Noteholder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Notes, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of
Definitive Notes of authorized denominations. Until so exchanged, the temporary Notes shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as Definitive Notes. 

SECTION 2.4            Registration; Registration of
Transfer and Exchange.    The Issuer shall cause to be kept a register (the “Note Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Issuer shall provide for the registration
of Notes and the registration of transfers of Notes. The Trustee shall be “Note Registrar” for the purpose of registering Notes and transfers of Notes as herein provided. Upon any resignation of any Note Registrar, the Issuer shall
promptly appoint a successor or, if it elects not to make such an appointment, assume the duties of Note Registrar. 
 If a
Person other than the Trustee is appointed by the Issuer as Note Registrar, the Issuer will give the Trustee prompt written notice of the appointment of such Note Registrar and of the location, and any change in the location, of the Note Register,
and the Trustee shall have the right to inspect the Note Register at all reasonable times and to obtain copies thereof, and the Trustee shall have the right to conclusively 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 of the Notes and the principal amounts and number of such Notes. 

  
 13 

 Subject to Sections 2.10 and 2.12 hereof, upon surrender for registration of
transfer of any Note at the office or agency of the Issuer to be maintained as provided in Section 3.2, if the requirements of Section 8-401(1) of the UCC are met the Issuer shall execute and upon
its request the Trustee shall authenticate and the Noteholder shall obtain from the Trustee, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes, in any authorized denominations, of the same class and a like aggregate
principal amount. 
 At the option of the Noteholder, Notes may be exchanged for other Notes in any authorized
denominations, of the same class and a like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Notes are so surrendered for exchange, subject to Sections 2.10 and 2.12 hereof, if the
requirements of Section 8-401(1) of the UCC are met the Issuer shall execute and upon its request the Trustee shall authenticate and the Noteholder shall obtain from the Trustee, the Notes which the
Noteholder making the exchange is entitled to receive. 
 All Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of
Notes shall be the valid obligations of the Issuer, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. 

Every Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be (i) duly endorsed by, or be
accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in the forms attached to Exhibits A-1, A-2-1, A-2-2, A-3, B, C, D and E duly executed by, the Holder thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, with such signature guaranteed by an
“eligible guarantor institution” meeting the requirements of the Note Registrar which requirements include membership or participation in Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program (“STAMP”) or such other “signature
guarantee program” as may be determined by the Note Registrar in addition to, or in substitution for, STAMP, all in accordance with the Exchange Act, and (ii) accompanied by such other documents as the Trustee may require. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of any sale or other transfer of a Class A Note, Class B Note,
Class C Note or Class D Note (the “Offered Notes”) that is a Definitive Note, the prospective transferee of a Definitive Note shall be required to represent and warrant in writing (or in the case of a Book Entry Note,
shall be deemed to have represented) to the Note Registrar that it is not, and is not acting on behalf of or investing the assets of, (a) an “employee benefit plan” (as defined in Section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”)), that is subject to the fiduciary responsibility provisions of Title I of ERISA, (b) a “plan” (as defined in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code), that is subject to
Section 4975 of the Code, (c) any entity whose underlying assets are deemed to include assets of an employee benefit plan or a plan described in (a) or (b) above by reason of such employee benefit plan’s or plan’s investment
in the entity (collectively, a “Benefit Plan Investor”) or (d) an employee benefit plan, a plan or other similar arrangement that is not a Benefit Plan Investor but is subject to federal, state, local, non-U.S. or other laws or regulations that are substantially similar to Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (“Similar Law”) (Benefit Plan Investors and plans subject to
Similar Law, collectively, a “Benefit Plan Entity”), unless such purchaser’s or transferee’s acquisition, holding and disposition of such Offered Note is covered by a Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption or the
Statutory Exemption or otherwise will not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or 

  
 14 

 
Section 4975 of the Code (or, if it is subject to any Similar Law, such acquisition, holding and disposition will not violate such Similar Law). 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of any sale or other transfer of a Class E Note that is a Definitive Note, the
transferee of such Definitive Note shall be required to represent and warrant in writing to the Note Registrar that it is not, and is not acting on behalf of or investing the assets of a Benefit Plan Entity. Each transferee of a Class E Note
that is a Book Entry Note shall be deemed to represent that it is not and is not acting on behalf of or investing the assets of a Benefit Plan Entity. 

No service charge shall be made to a Noteholder for any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, but the Note Registrar
may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 2.3 or 9.6 not involving
any transfer. 
 The preceding provisions of this section notwithstanding, the Issuer shall not be required to make and the
Note Registrar shall not register transfers or exchanges of Notes selected for redemption or of any Note for a period of fifteen (15) days preceding the due date for any payment with respect to the Note. 

SECTION 2.5            Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or
Stolen Notes.    If (a) any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee, or the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, and (b) there is delivered to the Trustee
such security or indemnity as may be required by it to hold the Issuer, the Trust Collateral Agent and the Trustee harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Issuer, the Note Registrar or the Trustee that such Note has been acquired by a bona
fide purchaser, and provided that the requirements of Section 8-405 of the UCC are met, the Issuer shall execute and upon its request the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu
of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a replacement Note; provided, however, that if any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, but not a mutilated Note, shall have become or within seven (7) days shall be due and payable,
or shall have been called for redemption, instead of issuing a replacement Note, the Issuer may direct the Trustee, in writing, to pay such destroyed, lost or stolen Note when so due or payable or upon the Redemption Date, without surrender thereof.
If, after the delivery of such replacement Note or payment of a destroyed, lost or stolen Note pursuant to the proviso to the preceding sentence, a bona fide purchaser of the original Note in lieu of which such replacement Note was issued presents
for payment such original Note, the Issuer and the Trustee shall be entitled to recover such replacement Note (or such payment) from the Person to whom it was delivered or any Person taking such replacement Note from such Person to whom such
replacement Note was delivered or any assignee of such Person, except a bona fide purchaser, and shall be entitled to recover upon the security or indemnity provided therefor to the extent of any loss, damage, cost or expense incurred by the Issuer
or the Trustee in connection therewith. 
 Upon the issuance of any replacement Note under this Section, the Issuer may
require the payment by the Holder of such Note of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other reasonable expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected
therewith. 

  
 15 

 Every replacement Note issued pursuant to this Section in replacement of any
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Issuer, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to
all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder. 
 The
provisions of this Section 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
Owner.    Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of any Note, the Issuer, the Trustee, the Trust Collateral Agent and any agent of the Issuer, the Trustee or the Trust Collateral Agent may treat the Person in
whose name any Note is registered (as of the Record Date) as the owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payments of principal of and interest, if any on such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note be overdue,
and none of the Issuer, the Trustee, the Trust Collateral Agent nor any agent of the Issuer, the Trustee or the Trust Collateral Agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 

SECTION 2.7            Payment of Principal and Interest;
Defaulted Interest. 
 (a)        The Notes shall accrue interest as provided in
the forms of the Class A-1 Note, the Class A-2 Note, the Class A-3 Note, the Class B Note, the Class C
Note, the Class D Note and the Class E Note set forth in Exhibits A-1, A-2-1, A-2-2, A-3, B, C, D and E, respectively, and such interest shall be due and payable on each Distribution Date, as specified therein. Any installment of interest or
principal, if any, payable on any Note which is punctually paid or duly provided for by the Issuer on the applicable Distribution Date, shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) is registered on the
Record Date, by check mailed first-class, postage prepaid, to such Person’s address as it appears on the Note Register on such Record Date, except that, unless Definitive Notes have been issued pursuant to Section 2.12, with respect to
Notes registered on the Record Date in the name of the nominee of the Clearing Agency (initially, such nominee to be Cede & Co.), payment will be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account designated by such nominee
and except for the final installment of principal payable with respect to such Note on a Distribution Date or on the Final Scheduled Distribution Date (and except for the Redemption Price for any Note called for redemption pursuant to
Section 10.1(a)) which shall be payable as provided below. The funds represented by any such checks returned undelivered shall be held in accordance with Section 3.3. 

(b)        The principal of each Note shall be payable in installments on each
Distribution Date as provided in the forms of the Class A-1 Note, the Class A-2 Note, the Class A-3 Note, the
Class B Note, the Class C Note, the Class D Note and the Class E Note, set forth in Exhibits A-1, A-2-1, A-2-2, A-3, B, C, D and E, respectively. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire unpaid principal amount of the Notes shall be due
and payable, if not previously paid, on the date on which an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, if the Trustee or the Majority Noteholders have declared the Notes to be immediately due and payable in the manner provided in
Section 5.2. All principal payments on each class of Notes shall be made pro rata to 

  
 16 

 
the Noteholders of such class entitled thereto. Upon written notice from the Issuer, the Trustee shall notify the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on the Record
Date preceding the Distribution Date on which the Issuer expects that the final installment of principal of and interest on such Note will be paid. Such notice shall be mailed or transmitted by facsimile prior to such final Distribution Date and
shall specify that such final installment will be payable only upon presentation and surrender of such Note and shall specify the place where such Note may be presented and surrendered for payment of such installment. Notices in connection with
redemptions of Notes shall be mailed to Noteholders as provided in Section 10.2. 

(c)        If the Issuer defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, and such
default is waived by the Controlling Party, acting at the direction of the Majority Noteholders, the Issuer shall pay defaulted interest (plus interest on such defaulted interest to the extent lawful) at the applicable Interest Rate in any lawful
manner. The Issuer may pay such defaulted interest to the Persons who are Noteholders on the immediately following Distribution Date, and, if such amount is not paid on such following Distribution Date, then on a subsequent special record date,
which date shall be at least five (5) Business Days prior to the payment date. The Issuer shall fix or cause to be fixed any such special record date and payment date, and, at least fifteen (15) days before any such special record date,
the Issuer shall mail to each Noteholder and the Trustee a notice that states the special record date, the payment date and the amount of defaulted interest to be paid. 

SECTION 2.8            Cancellation.   
 All Notes surrendered for payment, registration of transfer, exchange or redemption shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee and shall be promptly canceled by the Trustee. The Issuer may at any
time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Issuer may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Notes so delivered shall be promptly canceled by the Trustee. No Notes shall
be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Notes canceled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All canceled Notes may be held or disposed of by the Trustee in accordance with its standard retention or
disposal policy as in effect at the time unless the Issuer shall timely direct by an Issuer Order that they be destroyed or returned to it; provided that such Issuer Order is timely and the Notes have not been previously disposed of by the Trustee.

 SECTION 2.9            Release of
Collateral.    The Trust Collateral Agent shall, on the earlier of (a) the Termination Date or (b) the Redemption Date (if the Notes are redeemed in full on such date), in either case, so long as any amounts due to
the Trustee or the Trust Collateral Agent pursuant to the Basic Documents have been paid in full, execute such documents as are reasonably provided to it by the Seller (which documents shall be prepared at the Seller’s expense) in order to
release any remaining portion of the Trust Estate from the lien created by this Indenture and deposit in the Collection Account any funds then on deposit in any other Trust Account. 

SECTION 2.10          Book-Entry
Notes.    The Class A Notes, Class B Notes, Class C Notes, Class D Notes and Class E Notes, upon original issuance, will be issued in the form of typewritten Notes representing the Book Entry Notes,
to be delivered to The Depository Trust Company, the initial Clearing Agency, by, or on behalf of, the Issuer. Such Notes shall initially 

  
 17 

 
be registered on the Note Register in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee of the initial Clearing Agency, and no Note Owner will receive a Definitive Note representing such Note
Owner’s interest in such Note, except as provided in Section 2.12. Unless and until definitive, fully registered Notes (the “Definitive Notes”) have been issued to Note Owners pursuant to Section 2.12: 

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

(b)        the Note Registrar and the Trustee shall be entitled to deal with the
Clearing Agency for all purposes of this Indenture (including the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes and the giving of instructions or directions hereunder) as the sole Holder of the Notes, and shall have no obligation to the Note
Owners; 
 (c)        to the extent that the provisions of this Section conflict
with any other provisions of this Indenture, the provisions of this Section shall control; 

(d)        the rights of Note Owners shall be exercised only through the Clearing
Agency and shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such Note Owners and the Clearing Agency and/or the Clearing Agency Participants. Unless and until Definitive Notes are issued pursuant to Section 2.12, the initial
Clearing Agency will make book-entry transfers among the Clearing Agency Participants and receive and transmit payments of principal of and interest on the Notes to such Clearing Agency Participants; 

(e)        whenever this Indenture requires or permits actions to be taken based upon
instructions or directions of Noteholders evidencing a specified percentage of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, the Clearing Agency shall be deemed to represent such percentage only to the extent that it has received instructions to such effect
from Note Owners and/or Clearing Agency Participants owning or representing, respectively, such required percentage of the beneficial interest in the Notes and has delivered such instructions to the Trustee; and 

(f)        Note Owners may receive copies of any reports sent to Noteholders pursuant
to this Indenture, upon written request, together with a certification that they are Note Owners and payment of reproduction and postage expenses associated with the distribution of such reports, from the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office. 

SECTION 2.11          Notices to Clearing
Agency.    Whenever a notice or other communication to the Noteholders is required under this Indenture, unless and until Definitive Notes shall have been issued to Note Owners pursuant to Section 2.12, the Trustee shall
give all such notices and communications specified herein to be given to the Noteholders to the Clearing Agency, and shall have no obligation to the Note Owners. 

SECTION 2.12          Definitive
Notes.    If (a) the Servicer advises the Trustee in writing that the Clearing Agency is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities with respect to the Notes representing the Book Entry Notes,
and the Servicer is unable to locate a qualified successor or (b) after the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Majority Noteholders advise the Trustee through 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 the Note Owners, then the Clearing Agency shall notify all Note Owners and the Trustee of the occurrence of any such 

  
 18 

 
event and of the availability of Definitive Notes to Note Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Trustee of the typewritten Note or Notes representing the Book Entry Notes by the
Clearing Agency, accompanied by registration instructions, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate the Definitive Notes in accordance with the instructions of the Clearing Agency. Additionally, the Holder of a Class E Note
who is not eligible to hold such Class E Note through the Clearing Agency may instruct the Trustee to issue a Definitive Note in accordance with Section 2.4 hereof. None of the Issuer, the Note Registrar or the Trustee shall be liable for
any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be fully protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Notes, the Trustee and the Trust Collateral Agent shall recognize the Holders of
the Definitive Notes as Noteholders. 
 ARTICLE III

SECTION 3.2            Maintenance of Office or
Agency.    The Issuer will maintain in Dallas, Texas, an office or agency where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange, and an office in New York, New York where notices and demands to or upon the
Issuer in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served. The Issuer hereby initially appoints the Trustee to serve as its agent for the foregoing purposes. The Issuer will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and of any
change in the location, of any such office or agency. If at any time the Issuer shall fail to maintain any such office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such surrenders, notices and demands may be made or
served at the Corporate Trust Office, and the Issuer hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all such surrenders, notices and demands. 

SECTION 3.3            Money for Payments to be Held in
Trust.    On or before each Distribution Date and Redemption Date, the Issuer shall deposit or cause to be deposited in the Note Distribution Account from the Collection Account an aggregate sum sufficient to pay the amounts
then becoming due under the Notes, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto and (unless the Note Paying Agent is the Trustee) shall promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act. 

  
 19 

 The Issuer will cause each Note Paying Agent other than the Trustee or the
Trust Collateral Agent to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Note Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee (and if the Trustee or the Trust Collateral Agent acts as Note Paying Agent, it hereby so agrees), subject to the
provisions of this Section, that such Note Paying Agent will: 
 (a)        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; 
 (b)        give the Trustee (unless it is the same
entity) written notice of any default by the Issuer (or any other obligor upon the Notes) of which it has actual knowledge in the making of any payment required to be made with respect to the Notes; 

(c)        at any time during the continuance of any such default, upon the written
request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by such Note Paying Agent; 

(d)        immediately resign as a Note Paying Agent and forthwith pay to the 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 Note Paying Agent at the time of its appointment; and 

(e)        comply with all requirements of the Code with respect to the withholding
from any payments made by it on any Notes of any applicable withholding taxes imposed thereon and with respect to any applicable reporting requirements in connection therewith. 

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

Subject to applicable laws with respect to the escheat of funds, any money held by the Trustee, the Trust Collateral Agent or
any Note Paying Agent in trust for the payment of any amount due with respect to any Note and remaining unclaimed for two (2) years after such amount has become due and payable shall be discharged from such trust and be paid to the Issuer on
Issuer Request and shall be deposited by the Trustee in the Collection Account; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Issuer for payment thereof (but only to the extent of the amounts so
paid to the Issuer), and all liability of the Trustee, the Trust Collateral Agent or such Note Paying Agent with respect to such trust money shall thereupon cease. The Trustee or the Trust Collateral Agent shall adopt and employ, at the expense of
the Issuer, any reasonable means of notification of such repayment it chooses, if any (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 moneys due and payable but not claimed is determinable from the records of the Trustee or of any Note Paying Agent, at the last address of record for each such Holder). 

  
 20 

SECTION 3.4            Existence.   
 Except as otherwise permitted by the provisions of Section 3.10, the Issuer will keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a statutory trust under the laws of the State of Delaware (unless it becomes, or any successor
Issuer hereunder is or becomes, organized under the laws of any other state or of the United States of America, in which case the Issuer will keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises under the laws of such other jurisdiction) and
will obtain and preserve its qualification to do business in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes, the Collateral and each other instrument or
agreement included in the Trust Estate. 

SECTION 3.5          Protection of Trust
Estate.    The Issuer intends the security interest Granted pursuant to this Indenture in favor of the Issuer Secured Parties to be prior to all other liens in respect of the Trust Estate, and the Issuer shall take all
actions necessary to obtain and maintain, in favor of the Trust Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Issuer Secured Parties, a first lien on and a first priority, perfected security interest in the Trust Estate. The Issuer will from time to time
prepare (or shall cause to be prepared), execute and deliver all such supplements and amendments hereto and all such financing statements, continuation statements, instruments of further assurance and other instruments, and will take such other
action necessary or advisable to: 
 (a)        Grant more effectively all or any
portion of the Trust Estate;

security interest (and the priority thereof) in favor of the Trust Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Issuer Secured Parties created by this Indenture or carry out more effectively the purposes hereof; 

(c)        perfect, publish notice of or protect the validity of any Grant made or to

 If at the time the Servicer ceases to act as Servicer, in accordance with Section 9.2 or Section 8.6 of the Sale and
Servicing Agreement, no Person has accepted its appointment as successor Servicer, the Issuer hereby designates the Trust Collateral Agent its agent and attorney-in-fact
to execute any financing statement, continuation statement or other instrument required by the Trust Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section.

Indenture until January 31 in the following calendar year. 

SECTION 3.7            Performance of Obligations;
Servicing of Receivables. 
 (a)        The Issuer will not take any action and
will use its best efforts not to permit any action to be taken by others that would release any Person from any of such Person’s material covenants or obligations under any instrument or agreement included in the Trust Estate or that would
result in the amendment, hypothecation, subordination, termination or discharge of, or impair the validity or effectiveness of, any such instrument or agreement, except as ordered by any bankruptcy or other court or as expressly provided in this
Indenture, the Basic Documents or such other instrument or agreement. 

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

(c)        The Issuer will punctually perform and observe all of its obligations and
agreements contained in this Indenture, the Basic Documents and in the instruments and agreements included in the Trust Estate, including, but not limited to, preparing (or causing to prepared) and filing (or causing to be filed) all UCC financing
statements and continuation statements required to be filed by the terms of this Indenture and the Sale and Servicing Agreement in accordance with and within the time periods provided for herein and therein. Except as otherwise expressly provided
therein, the Issuer shall not waive, amend, modify, supplement or terminate any Basic Document or any provision thereof without the consent of the Trustee or the Majority Noteholders.

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

installment of the principal of any Note when the same becomes due and payable, the Issuer will pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes, the whole amount then due and payable on such Notes for principal and interest, with
interest upon the overdue principal, and, to the extent payment at such rate of interest shall be legally enforceable, upon overdue installments of interest, at the applicable Interest Rate and in addition thereto such further amount as shall be

Trustee at the direction of such Majority Noteholders shall deem most effective to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power
granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy or legal or equitable right vested in the Trustee by this Indenture or by law.

reasonable compensation to the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee, and their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and for reimbursement of all expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and each predecessor
Trustee, except as a result of negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct) and of the Noteholders allowed in such Proceedings;

authorize or consent to or vote for or accept or adopt on behalf of any Noteholder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in
respect of the claim of any Noteholder in any such 

  
 32

other appropriate action to protect and enforce the rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes; and 

(iv)      direct the Trust Collateral Agent to sell the Trust Estate or any
portion thereof or rights or interest therein, at one or more public or private sales called and conducted in any manner permitted by law; provided, however, that, the Trustee may not sell or otherwise liquidate the Trust Estate following an
Event of Default unless: 
 (A)      such Event of Default is of the type
described in Section 5.1(a) or (b), or 
 (B)      either: 

(1)        the Holders of 100% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes
consent thereto, or 

  
 33 

 (2)        the
proceeds of such sale or liquidation distributable to the Noteholders are sufficient to discharge in full all amounts then due and unpaid upon such Notes for principal and interest, or 

(3)        the Trust Estate will not continue to provide sufficient
funds for the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes as they would have become due if the Notes had not been declared due and payable, and the Trustee provides prior written notice to the Issuer (who shall deliver such notice to the
Rating Agencies) and obtains the consent of Holders of 66-2/3% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes. 

(b)        In determining such sufficiency or insufficiency with respect to clauses
(2) and (3), the Trustee may, but need not, obtain and conclusively rely upon an opinion of an Independent investment banking or accounting firm of national reputation (which expense shall be reimbursable pursuant to Section 5.6(a)) as to
the feasibility of such proposed action and as to the sufficiency of the Trust Estate for such purpose. 

SECTION 5.5            Optional Preservation of the
Receivables.    If the Notes 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, the Trustee may, but
need not, elect to direct the Trust Collateral Agent to maintain possession 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
the Notes, and the Trustee shall take such desire into account when determining whether or not to direct the Trust Collateral Agent to maintain possession of the Trust Estate. In determining whether to direct the Trust Collateral Agent to maintain
possession of the Trust Estate, the Trustee may, but need not, obtain and conclusively rely upon an opinion of an Independent investment banking or accounting firm of national reputation (which expense shall be reimbursable pursuant to
Section 5.6(a)) as to the feasibility of such proposed action and as to the sufficiency of the Trust Estate for such purpose. 

SECTION 5.6            Priorities. 

(a)        Following (i) the acceleration of the Notes pursuant to

Notes shall be made in the order and priority set forth in Section 5.7 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. 

(b)        The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to
Noteholders pursuant to this Section 5.6. At least fifteen (15) days before such record date the Issuer shall mail to each Noteholder and the Trustee a notice that states the record date, the payment date and the amount to be paid. 

SECTION 5.7            Limitation of
Suits.    No Holder of any Note shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder,
unless: 
 (a)        such Holder has previously given written notice to the Trustee
of a continuing Event of Default; 
 (b)        the Holders of not less than 25% of
the Outstanding Amount of the Notes have made written request to the Trustee to institute such Proceeding in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder; 

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

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

(e)        no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the
Trustee during such sixty (60) day period by the Majority Noteholders; 
 it being understood and intended that no one or more
Noteholders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Noteholders or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference
over any other Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided. 

SECTION 5.8            Unconditional Rights of Noteholders
To Receive Principal and Interest.    Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Indenture, the Holder of any Note shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and
interest, if any, on such Note on or after the respective due dates thereof expressed in such Note or in this Indenture (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment,
and such right shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder. 

SECTION 5.9            Restoration of Rights and
Remedies.    If the Controlling Party or any Noteholder has instituted any Proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture 

  
 36 

 
and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Noteholder, then and in every such case the Issuer, the Trustee
and the Noteholders shall, subject to any determination in such Proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Noteholders shall continue as
though no such Proceeding had been instituted. 

SECTION 5.10          Rights and Remedies
Cumulative.    No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Controlling Party or to the Noteholders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent
permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not
prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy. 

SECTION 5.11          Delay or Omission Not a
Waiver.    No delay or omission of the Trustee, the Trust Collateral Agent, the Controlling Party or any Noteholder to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Default or Event of Default shall impair any such right or
remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Default or Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article V or by law to the Trustee, the Trust Collateral Agent, the Controlling Party or the Noteholders may be
exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee, the Trust Collateral Agent, the Controlling Party or the Noteholders, as the case may be. 

SECTION 5.12          Control by
Noteholders.    The Majority Noteholders shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any Proceeding for any remedy available to the Trust Collateral Agent, as Controlling Party, or the Trustee, as
applicable, with respect to the Notes or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Controlling Party or the Trustee, as applicable; provided, that: 

(a)        such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this
Indenture; 
 (b)        subject to the express terms of Section 5.4, any
direction to the Trustee to sell or liquidate the Trust Estate shall be by the Noteholders representing not less than 100% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes; 

(c)        if the conditions set forth in Section 5.5 have been satisfied and the
Trustee elects to retain the Trust Estate pursuant to such Section, then any direction to the Trustee by Noteholders 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 Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the
Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction; 
 provided, however, that, subject to Article VI, neither the Trustee nor the
Trust Collateral Agent need take any action that it determines might involve it in liability, financial or otherwise, without receiving indemnity satisfactory to it, or might materially adversely affect the rights of any Noteholders not consenting
to such action. 

  
 37 

SECTION 5.13          Waiver of Past
Defaults.    Prior to the declaration of the acceleration of the maturity of the Notes as provided in Section 5.2, the Majority Noteholders may waive any past Default or Event of Default and its consequences except a
Default (a) in payment of principal of or interest on any of the Notes or (b) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Note. In the case of any such waiver,
the Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes 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 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 thereto. 
 SECTION 5.14          Undertaking for
Costs.    All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Note by such Holder’s acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement
of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such
court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such
party litigant; but the provisions of this Section shall not apply to (a) any suit instituted by the Trustee, (b) any suit instituted by any Noteholder, or group of Noteholders, in each case holding in the aggregate more than 10% of the
Outstanding Amount of the Notes or (c) any suit instituted by any Noteholder for the enforcement of the payment of principal of or interest on any Note on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Note and in this Indenture (or, in
the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date). 

SECTION 5.15          Waiver of Stay or Extension
Laws.    The Issuer covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead or in any manner whatsoever, claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law
wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Issuer (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law,
and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted. 

SECTION 5.16          Action on
Notes.    The Trustee’s right to seek and recover judgment on the Notes or under this Indenture shall not be affected by the seeking, obtaining or application of any other relief under or with respect to this Indenture.
Neither the lien of this Indenture nor any rights or remedies of the Trustee or the Noteholders shall be impaired by the recovery of any judgment by the Trustee against the Issuer or by the levy of any execution under such judgment upon any portion
of the Trust Estate or upon any of the assets of the Issuer. 

  
 38 

SECTION 5.17          Performance and Enforcement of Certain
Obligations. 
 (a)        Promptly following a request from the Trustee to do
so and at the Servicer’s expense, the Issuer agrees to take all such lawful action as the Trustee may request to compel or secure the performance and observance by the Seller and the Servicer, as applicable, of each of their obligations to the
Issuer under or in connection with the Sale and Servicing Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof, and to exercise any and all rights, remedies, powers and privileges lawfully available to the Issuer under or in connection with the Sale and
Servicing Agreement to the extent and in the manner directed by the Trustee, including the transmission of notices of default on the part of the Seller or the Servicer thereunder and the institution of legal or administrative actions or Proceedings
to compel or secure performance by the Seller or the Servicer of each of their obligations under the Sale and Servicing Agreement. 

(b)        If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Controlling
Party may, and, at the written direction of the Holders of 66-2/3% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes shall, subject to Article VI, exercise all rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims of the
Issuer against the Seller or the Servicer under or in connection with the Sale and Servicing Agreement, including the right or power to take any action to compel or secure performance or observance by the Seller or the Servicer of each of their
obligations to the Issuer thereunder and to give any consent, request, notice, direction, approval, extension or waiver under the Sale and Servicing Agreement, and any right of the Issuer to take such action shall be suspended. 

ARTICLE VI 
 The Trustee and
the Trust Collateral Agent 

SECTION 6.1            Duties of Trustee. 

(a)        If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall
exercise the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture and the Basic Documents to which it is a party 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. 
 (b)        Except during the continuance of an
Event of Default: 
 (i)        the Trustee undertakes to perform
such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no implied duties, covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and 

(ii)       in the absence of bad faith on its part, the 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 Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; however, the Trustee shall
examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform on their face to the requirements of this Indenture. 

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

  
 39 

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

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

(iii)      the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action it takes
or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to Section 5.12. 

(d)        The Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it
except as the Trustee may agree in writing with the Issuer. 
 (e)        Money held
in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law or the terms of this Indenture or the Sale and Servicing Agreement. 

(f)        No provision of this Indenture shall require the 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 repayment of such funds or indemnity
reasonably satisfactory to it against such risk or liability is not assured to it. 

(g)        Every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the
liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 6.1 and to the provisions of the TIA. 

(h)        The Trustee shall, and hereby agrees that it will, perform all of the
obligations and duties required of it under the Sale and Servicing Agreement. 

(i)        Without limiting the generality of this Section 6.1, the Trustee shall
have no duty (i) to see to any recording, filing or depositing of this Indenture or any agreement referred to herein or any financing statement evidencing a security interest in the Financed Vehicles, or to see to the maintenance of any such
recording or filing or depositing or to any recording, refiling or redepositing of any thereof, (ii) to see to any insurance of the Financed Vehicles or Obligors or to effect or maintain any such insurance, (iii) to see to the payment or
discharge of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge or any Lien or encumbrance of any kind owing with respect to, assessed or levied against any part of the Trust, (iv) to confirm or verify the contents of any reports or certificates
delivered to the Trustee pursuant to this Indenture or the Sale and Servicing Agreement believed by the Trustee to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties, or (v) to inspect the Financed Vehicles at any
time or ascertain or inquire as to the performance of observance of any of the Issuer’s, the Seller’s or the Servicer’s representations, warranties or covenants or the Servicer’s duties and obligations as Servicer and as
custodian of the Receivable Files under the Sale and Servicing Agreement. 

(j)        In no event shall Citibank, N.A., in any of its capacities hereunder, be
deemed to have assumed any duties of the Owner Trustee under the Delaware Statutory Trust Act, common law, or the Trust Agreement or of the Servicer under the Sale and Servicing Agreement (unless it 

  
 40 

 
is acting as successor Servicer thereunder or is recording, registering, filing, re-recording, re-filing, or re-registering any financing statement, continuation statement or other instrument required by the Trust Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 3.5 hereof or is taking any action to perfect or re-perfect the security interests in the financed vehicles pursuant to Section 4.5(b) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement). 

SECTION 6.2        Rights of Trustee. 

(a)        The Trustee may conclusively rely on any document believed by it to be
genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper person. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document. 

(b)        Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an
Officer’s Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on the Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel. 

(c)        The 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 Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of, or for the supervision of, AmeriCredit Financial Services,
Inc., or any other such agent, attorney, custodian or nominee appointed with due care by it hereunder. 

(d)        The 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 Trustee’s conduct does not constitute willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith. 

(e)        The 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 Trustee shall be under no
obligation to institute, conduct or defend any litigation under this Indenture or in relation to this Indenture, at the request, order or direction of any of the Noteholders, pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, unless such Noteholders
shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities that may be incurred therein or thereby (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel); provided,
however, that the Trustee shall, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (that has not been cured), exercise the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture with reasonable care and skill. 

(g)        The 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, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or document, unless requested in writing to do so by the Noteholders evidencing not less than 25%
of the Outstanding Amount thereof; provided, however, that if the payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the
Trustee, not reasonably assured to the Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms of this Indenture or the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Trustee may require indemnity reasonably 

  
 41 

 
satisfactory to it against such cost, expense or liability as a condition to so proceeding; the reasonable expense of every such examination shall be paid by the Person making such request, or,
if paid by the Trustee, shall be reimbursed by the Person making such request upon demand. 

(h)        The Trustee shall not be liable for any losses on investments except for
losses resulting from the failure of the Trustee to make an investment in accordance with instructions given in accordance hereunder. 

(i)        If the Trustee acts as the Note Paying Agent or Note Registrar, the rights,
privileges, immunities, benefits and protections afforded to the Trustee shall be afforded to the Note Paying Agent and Note Registrar as if they were expressly set forth herein for the benefit of the Trustee in such capacity, mutatis mutandis. 

(j)        The Trustee shall not be required to take notice or be deemed to have
notice or knowledge of any default or Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have received written notice or obtained actual knowledge thereof. In the absence of receipt of such notice or actual knowledge, the Trustee may
conclusively assume that there is no default or Event of Default. 
 (k)        The
Trustee shall not be responsible for delays or failures in performance resulting directly or indirectly from forces beyond its control (including, without limitation, acts of God, strikes, work stoppages, accidents, severe weather, floods, nuclear
or natural catastrophes, lockouts, riots, civil or military disturbances, acts of war or terrorism, pandemics or epidemics, any provision of any present or future law or regulation or any act of any governmental authority, and any interruption, loss
or malfunction of utilities, communications, computer services (software or hardware) or Federal Reserve Bank wire service) provided such default or delay could not have been prevented by the taking of commercially reasonable precautions such as the
implementation and execution of disaster recovery plans. 
 (l)        Anything in
this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the Trustee be liable for special, indirect, incidental, punitive or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), whether or not
any such damages were foreseeable or contemplated, even if the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action. 

(m)      No provision of this Indenture or any Basic Document shall be deemed to impose any duty
or obligation on the Trustee to take or omit to take any action, or suffer any action to be taken or omitted, in the performance of its duties or obligations under the Basic Documents, or to exercise any right or power thereunder, to the extent that
taking or omitting to take such action or suffering such action to be taken or omitted would violate applicable law binding upon it (which determination may be based on the advice or opinion of its counsel). 

(n)        The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits provided to
the Trustee hereunder (including but not limited to its right to be indemnified) are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, both the Trustee and the Trust Collateral Agent in each of their capacities hereunder and to each of their officers,
directors, and other Persons duly employed by the Trustee or the Trust Collateral Agent as if they were each expressly set forth herein for the 

  
 42 

 
benefit of the Trustee and the Trust Collateral Agent in each such capacity, their officers, their directors or their employees, mutatis mutandis. 

(o)        The Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be fully protected in acting or
refraining from acting upon any resolution, Officer’s Certificate, opinion of counsel, certificate of auditors or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, direction, order, appraisal, bond or
other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties, and the Trustee need not investigate any statement, representation or warranty or any fact or matter stated in any such
document and may conclusively rely as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein. 

(p)        The right of the Trustee to perform any discretionary act enumerated in
this Indenture shall not be construed as a duty, and the Trustee shall not be answerable for other than its willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith in the performance or omission of such act. 

(q)        The Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or surety. 

(r)        In making or disposing of any investment permitted by this Indenture, the
Trustee is authorized to deal with itself (in its individual capacity) or with any one or more of its Affiliates, in each case on an arm’s-length basis and on standard market terms, whether it or such
Affiliate is acting as a subagent of the Trustee or for any third person or dealing as principal for its own account. 

(s)        Delivery of reports, information and documents to the Trustee shall not
constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein (other than any written notices of an Event of Default delivered to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee pursuant to
Section 6.2(j)), including the Issuer’s or any other entity’s compliance with any covenants under this Indenture, the Notes or any other related documents. The Trustee shall not be obligated to monitor or confirm, on a continuing
basis or otherwise, the Issuer’s or any other entity’s compliance with the covenants described herein or with respect to any reports or other documents filed under this Indenture, the Notes or any other related document. 

(t)        The Trustee shall have the right to require that any directions,
instructions or notices provided to it be signed by an Authorized Person (as hereinafter defined), contain such evidence as may be reasonably requested by the Trustee to establish the identity and/or signatures thereon. The identity of such
Authorized Persons, as well as their specimen signatures and title, shall be delivered to the Trustee in the list of authorized signers and shall remain in effect until the applicable party, or an entity acting on its behalf, notifies the Trustee of
any change thereto (the person(s) so designated from time to time, the “Authorized Persons”). 

(u)        To help the U.S. government fight the funding of terrorism and money
laundering activities, federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who opens an account. When an account is opened, the Trustee will ask for information that will allow the
Trustee to identify relevant parties. The parties hereto 

  
 43 

 
hereby acknowledge such information disclosure requirements and agree to comply with all such information disclosure requests from time to time from the Trustee. 

(v)        Notwihstanding anything to the contrary herein, any and all email

 (w)        For certain
payments made pursuant to this Indenture, the Trustee may be required to make a “reportable payment” or “withholdable payment” and in such cases the Trustee shall have the duty to act as a payor or withholding agent,
respectively, that is responsible for any tax withholding and reporting required under Chapters 3, 4 and 61 of the Code. The Trustee shall have the sole right to make the determination as to which payments are “reportable payments” or
“withholdable payments.” All parties to this Indenture shall provide an executed IRS Form W-9 or appropriate IRS Form W-8 (or, in each case, any successor
form) to the Trustee prior to closing, and shall promptly update any such form to the extent such form becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect. The Trustee shall have the right to request from any party to this Indenture, or any other person
entitled to payment hereunder, any additional forms, documentation or other information as may be reasonably necessary for the Trustee to satisfy its reporting and withholding obligations under the Code. To the extent any such forms to be delivered
under this Section 6.2(v) are not provided prior to or by the time the related payment is required to be made or are determined by the Trustee to be incomplete and/or inaccurate in any respect, the Trustee shall be entitled to withhold on any
such payments hereunder to the extent withholding is required under Chapters 3, 4 or 61 of the Code, and shall have no obligation to gross up any such payment. 

SECTION 6.3            Individual Rights of
Trustee.    The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any
Trust Collateral Agent, Note Paying Agent, Note Registrar, co-registrar or co-Note Paying Agent may do the same with like rights. However, the Trustee must comply with
Sections 6.11 and 6.12. 

SECTION 6.4            Trustee’s
Disclaimer.    The Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture, the Trust Estate or the Notes, it shall not be accountable for the Issuer’s use of the
proceeds from the Notes, and it shall not be responsible for any statement of the Issuer in this Indenture or in any document issued in connection with the sale of the Notes or in the Notes other than the Trustee’s certificate of
authentication. 
 SECTION 6.5            Notice of
Defaults.    If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if it is either known by, or written notice of the existence thereof has been delivered to, a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to each
Noteholder notice of the 

  
 44 

 
Default within ninety (90) days after such knowledge or notice occurs. Except in the case of a Default in payment of principal of or interest on any Note (including payments pursuant to the
mandatory redemption provisions of such Note), the Trustee may withhold the notice to the Noteholder if and so long as it in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of Noteholders. 

SECTION 6.6            Reports by Trustee to
Holders.    At the end of each calendar year, the Trustee shall deliver to each Person who at any time during the calendar year was a Noteholder that requests it in writing, a statement as to the aggregate amounts of interest
and principal paid to the Noteholder to the extent required by the Code, and any other information as may be reasonably required to enable such Holder to prepare its federal and State income tax returns. 

SECTION 6.7            Compensation and Indemnity.

 (a)        Pursuant to Section 5.7(a) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement or
Section 5.6(a) of this Indenture, as applicable, the Issuer shall, or shall cause the Servicer to, pay to the Trustee and the Trust Collateral Agent from time to time compensation for its services. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be
limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Issuer shall cause the Servicer to reimburse the Trustee and the Trust Collateral Agent (subject to any applicable caps) for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it, including costs of collection, in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee’s and the Trust Collateral Agent’s agents, counsel, accountants and experts. The Issuer shall cause the Servicer to indemnify the Trustee, the Trust Collateral Agent and their respective officers,
directors, employees and agents against any and all loss, liability or expense (including attorneys’ fees and expenses, and court costs) incurred by each of them in connection with the acceptance or the administration of the Trust and the
performance of its duties under the Basic Documents (including any expenses and costs (including attorneys’ fees and expenses and court costs) incurred in connection with any action or suit brought by the Trustee or Trust Collateral Agent to
enforce any indemnification or other obligation of the Issuer or Servicer). The Trustee or the Trust Collateral Agent shall notify the Issuer and the Servicer promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee or the Trust
Collateral Agent to so notify the Issuer and the Servicer shall not relieve the Issuer of its obligations hereunder or the Servicer of its obligations under Article XI of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. The Issuer shall cause the Servicer to
defend the claim, and the Trustee or the Trust Collateral Agent may have separate counsel and the Issuer shall cause the Servicer to pay the fees and expenses of such counsel. Neither the Issuer nor the Servicer need to reimburse any expense or
indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Trustee or the Trust Collateral Agent through the Trustee’s or the Trust Collateral Agent’s own willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith. 

(b)        The Issuer’s payment obligations to the Trustee or the Trust
Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section shall survive the discharge of this Indenture or the earlier resignation or removal of the Trustee or the Trust Collateral Agent. When the Trustee or the Trust Collateral Agent incurs expenses after the
occurrence of a Default specified in Section 5.1(d) with respect to the Issuer, the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under Title 11 of the United States Code or any other applicable federal or State bankruptcy,
insolvency or similar 

  
 45 

 
law. Notwithstanding anything else set forth in this Indenture or the Basic Documents, the Trustee agrees that the obligations of the Issuer (but not the Servicer) to the Trustee hereunder and
under the Basic Documents shall be recourse to the Trust Estate only and specifically shall not be recourse to the assets of the Certificateholder or any Noteholder. In addition, the Trustee agrees that its recourse to the Issuer, the Trust Estate
and the Seller shall be limited to the right to receive the distributions referred to in Section 5.7(a) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement or Section 5.6(a) of this Indenture, as applicable. 

SECTION 6.8            Replacement of
Trustee.    The Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the Issuer. The Issuer may and shall, remove the Trustee, if: 

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

(b)        a court having jurisdiction in the premises in respect of the Trustee in an
involuntary case or proceeding under federal or State banking or bankruptcy laws, as now or hereafter constituted, or any other applicable federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, shall have entered a decree or order granting
relief or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, conservator, sequestrator (or similar official) for the Trustee or for any substantial part of the Trustee’s property, or ordering the
winding-up or liquidation of the Trustee’s affairs; 

(c)        an involuntary case under the federal bankruptcy laws, as now or hereafter
in effect, or another present or future federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law is commenced with respect to the Trustee and such case is not dismissed within sixty (60) days; 

(d)        the Trustee commences a voluntary case under any federal or State banking
or bankruptcy laws, as now or hereafter constituted, or any other applicable federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, or consents to the appointment of or taking possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian,
trustee, conservator, sequestrator (or other similar official) for the Trustee or for any substantial part of the Trustee’s property, or makes any assignment for the benefit of creditors or fails generally to pay its debts as such debts become
due or takes any action in furtherance of any of the foregoing; or 
 (e)        the
Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting. 
 If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office
of Trustee for any reason (the Trustee in such event being referred to herein as the retiring Trustee), the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee. 

A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and the Issuer. Thereupon
the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Trustee under this Indenture subject to satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition.
The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to the Noteholders. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee. 

  
 46 

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

If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 6.11, any Noteholder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee. 
 Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and
appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall not become effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee pursuant to Section 6.8, the appointment of a successor Trust Collateral
Agent pursuant to Section 6.17 and payment of all fees, expenses and indemnities owed to the outgoing Trustee and Trust Collateral Agent. 

Notwithstanding the replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section, the Issuer’s and the Servicer’s obligations
under Section 6.7 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee. 
 The Issuer shall pay any costs and
expenses associated with the replacement of the Trustee. To the extent the Issuer fails to pay such costs and expenses on or before the Distribution Date following the replacement of the Trustee, the Depositor shall pay such amount then outstanding.

 SECTION 6.9            Successor Trustee by
Merger.    If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all its corporate trust business or assets to, another corporation or banking association, the resulting, surviving or
transferee corporation or banking association, without any further act shall be the successor Trustee. The Trustee shall provide prior written notice of any such transaction to the Issuer (who shall deliver such notice to the Rating Agencies). 

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

SECTION 6.10          Appointment of
Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee. 

(a)        Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, at any time, for
the purpose of meeting any legal requirement of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust Estate may at the time be located, the Trustee shall have the power and may execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons to act as
a co-trustee or co-trustees, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Trust Estate, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity
and for the benefit of the Noteholders, such title to the Trust Estate, or any part hereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable.
No co-trustee 

  
 47 

 
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 hereof. 

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

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

(ii)       no trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any
act or omission of any other trustee hereunder, including acts or omissions of predecessor or successor trustees; and 

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

(c)        Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed
to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or
co-trustee shall refer to this Indenture and the conditions of this Article VI. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall
be vested with the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Indenture, specifically including every provision of
this Indenture relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee. Every such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee. 

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

(e)        Any and all amounts relating to the fees and expenses of the co-trustee or separate trustee will be borne by the Trust Estate. 

SECTION 6.11          Eligibility:
Disqualification.    The Trustee shall at all times satisfy the requirements of TIA § 310(a). The Trustee shall have a combined capital and surplus of at 

  
 48 

 
least $50,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition and it shall have a long-term debt rating of BBB, or an equivalent rating, or better by the Rating Agencies.
The Trustee shall comply with TIA § 310(b), including the optional provision permitted by the second sentence of TIA § 310(b)(9); provided, however, that there shall be excluded from the operation of TIA § 310(b)(1) any
indenture or indentures under which other securities of the Issuer are outstanding if the requirements for such exclusion set forth in TIA § 310(b)(1) are met. 

Within ninety (90) days after ascertaining the occurrence of an Event of Default which shall not have been cured or
waived, unless authorized by the Commission, the Trustee shall resign with respect to the Class A Notes, the Class B Notes, the Class C Notes, the Class D Notes and/or the Class E Notes in accordance with Section 6.8 of
this Indenture, and the Issuer shall appoint a successor Trustee for each of such Classes, as applicable, so that there will be separate Trustees for the Class A Notes, the Class B Notes, the Class C Notes, the Class D Notes and
the Class E Notes. In the event the Trustee fails to comply with the terms of the preceding sentence, the Trustee shall comply with clauses (ii) and (iii) of TIA Section 310(b). 

In the case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to any Class of Notes pursuant to this
Section 6.11, the Issuer, the retiring Trustee and the successor Trustee with respect to such Class of Notes shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto wherein each successor Trustee shall accept such appointment and which
(i) shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, the successor Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Notes of the
Class to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates, (ii) if the retiring Trustee is not retiring with respect to all Classes of Notes, shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that
all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Notes of each Class as to which the retiring Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the Trustee and (iii) shall add to or change any of
the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall constitute such
Trustees co-trustees of the same trust and that each such Trustee shall be a trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such Trustee;
and upon the removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided herein. 

SECTION 6.12          Preferential Collection of Claims Against
Issuer.  The Trustee shall comply with TIA § 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA § 311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA § 311(a). 

SECTION 6.13          Appointment and
Powers.    Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each of the Issuer Secured Parties hereby appoints Citibank, N.A., as the Trust Collateral Agent with respect to the Collateral, and Citibank, N.A. hereby accepts such
appointment and agrees to act as Trust Collateral Agent with respect to the Collateral for the Issuer Secured Parties, to maintain custody and possession of such Collateral (except as otherwise provided hereunder) and to perform the other duties of
the Trust Collateral Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture and the Basic Documents. Each Issuer Secured Party hereby authorizes the Trust Collateral Agent to take such action on its behalf, and to exercise such rights, remedies,
powers and privileges hereunder, as the Trustee may direct and as are 

  
 49 

 
specifically authorized to be exercised by the Trust Collateral Agent by the terms hereof, together with such actions, rights, remedies, powers and privileges as are reasonably incidental
thereto, including, but not limited to, the execution of any powers of attorney. The Trust Collateral Agent shall act upon and in compliance with the written instructions of the Controlling Party delivered pursuant to this Indenture promptly
following receipt of such written instructions; provided that neither the Trustee nor the Trust Collateral Agent shall act upon its own accord or in accordance with any instructions (a) if such actions are not authorized by, or in violation of
the provisions of, this Indenture, (b) if such actions are in violation of any applicable law, rule or regulation or (c) with respect to actions for which the Trustee has been directed to act but for which the Trustee has not received
indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it. Receipt of such instructions shall not be a condition to the exercise by the Trust Collateral Agent of its express duties hereunder, except where this Indenture provides that the Trust Collateral Agent is
permitted to act only following and in accordance with such instructions. 

SECTION 6.14          Performance of Duties. 

(a)        Neither the Trust Collateral Agent nor the Trustee shall have any duties or
responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Indenture and the Basic Documents to which the Trust Collateral Agent or the Trustee is a party or as directed by the Controlling Party in accordance with this Indenture. Neither the Trust
Collateral Agent nor the Trustee shall be required to take any discretionary actions hereunder except at the written direction and with reasonable security and indemnity satisfactory to the Trust Collateral Agent or the Trustee, as applicable. The
Trust Collateral Agent and the Trustee shall, and hereby agree that each will, subject to this Article, perform all of their respective duties and obligations required of it under the Sale and Servicing Agreement. 

(b)        Each of the Trust Collateral Agent and the Trustee hereby covenants that it
will provide prompt written notice to the Seller and the Servicer upon actual knowledge by a Responsible Officer of such Person of any instances of non-compliance by the Trust Collateral Agent or the Trustee,
as applicable, with this Indenture or the Basic Documents to which the Trust Collateral Agent or the Trustee, as applicable, is a party. 

SECTION 6.15          Limitation on Liability. None of the
Trustee, the Trust Collateral Agent or any of their respective directors, officers or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder, or in connection herewith, except that the Trustee and the Trust
Collateral Agent shall be liable for its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct; nor shall the Trustee or the Trust Collateral Agent be responsible for the validity, effectiveness, value, sufficiency or enforceability against the Issuer of
this Indenture or any of the Collateral (or any part thereof). Notwithstanding any term or provision of this Indenture, neither the Trustee nor the Trust Collateral Agent shall incur any liability to the Issuer or the Issuer Secured Parties for any
action taken or omitted by the Trustee or the Trust Collateral Agent in connection with the Collateral, except for the negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the Trustee or the Trust Collateral Agent, and, further, neither the
Trustee nor the Trust Collateral Agent shall incur any liability to the Issuer Secured Parties except for negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in carrying out its duties to the Issuer Secured Parties. The Trustee and the Trust Collateral
Agent shall be protected and shall incur no liability to any such party in relying upon the accuracy, acting in reliance upon the contents, and 

  
 50 

 
assuming the genuineness of any notice, demand, certificate, signature, instrument or other document reasonably believed by the Trustee or the Trust Collateral Agent to be genuine and to have
been duly executed by the appropriate signatory, and (absent actual knowledge to the contrary by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee or the Trust Collateral Agent) neither the Trustee nor the Trust Collateral Agent shall be required to make any
independent investigation with respect thereto. The Trustee and the Trust Collateral Agent shall at all times be free independently to establish to its reasonable satisfaction, but shall have no duty to independently verify, the existence or
nonexistence of facts that are a condition to the exercise or enforcement of any right or remedy hereunder or under any of the Basic Documents. The Trustee and the Trust Collateral Agent may consult with counsel, and shall not be liable for any
action taken or omitted to be taken by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel. Neither the Trustee nor the Trust Collateral Agent shall be under any obligation to exercise any of the remedial rights
or powers vested in it by this Indenture or to follow any direction from the Trustee (at the direction of the Noteholders) or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder unless it shall
have received reasonable security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee or the Trust Collateral Agent, as applicable, against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it. 

SECTION 6.16          Reliance Upon
Documents.    In the absence of negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on its part, the Trust Collateral Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any communication, instrument, paper or other document reasonably
believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person or Persons and shall have no liability in acting, or omitting to act, where such action or omission to act is in reasonable reliance upon any statement or
opinion contained in any such document or instrument. 

SECTION 6.17          Successor Trust Collateral Agent. 

(a)        Merger. Any Person into which the Trust Collateral Agent may be
converted or merged, or with which it may be consolidated, or to which it may sell or transfer its trust business and assets as a whole or substantially as a whole, or any Person resulting from any such conversion, merger, consolidation, sale or
transfer to which the Trust Collateral Agent is a party, shall (provided it is otherwise qualified to serve as the Trust Collateral Agent hereunder) be and become a successor Trust Collateral Agent hereunder and be vested with all of the title to
and interest in the Collateral and all of the trusts, powers, discretions, immunities, privileges and other matters as was its predecessor without the execution or filing of any instrument or any further act, deed or conveyance on the part of any of
the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, except to the extent, if any, that any such action is necessary to perfect, or continue the perfection of, the security interest of the Issuer Secured Parties in the Collateral;
provided that any such successor shall also be the successor Trustee under Section 6.9. 

(b)        Resignation. The Trust Collateral Agent and any successor Trust
Collateral Agent may resign at any time by so notifying the Issuer; provided, that the Trust Collateral Agent shall not so resign unless it shall also resign as Trustee hereunder. 

(c)        Removal. The Trust Collateral Agent shall automatically be removed
at any time that the Trustee has resigned or has been removed in accordance with Section 6.8; provided, 

  
 51 

 
however, if at any time the Trust Collateral Agent and the Trustee are separate entities, the Trust Collateral Agent may be removed by the Trustee at any time, with or without cause, by an
instrument or concurrent instruments in writing delivered to the Trust Collateral Agent, the other Issuer Secured Party and the Issuer. A temporary successor may be removed at any time to allow a successor Trust Collateral Agent to be appointed
pursuant to subsection (d) below. Any removal pursuant to the provisions of this subsection (c) shall take effect only upon the date which is the latest of (i) the effective date of the appointment of a successor Trust Collateral
Agent and the acceptance in writing by such successor Trust Collateral Agent of such appointment and of its obligation to perform its duties hereunder in accordance with the provisions hereof, and (ii) receipt by the Trustee of an Opinion of
Counsel to the effect described in Section 3.6. 
 (d)        Acceptance by
Successor. The Issuer shall have the sole right to appoint each successor Trust Collateral Agent. Every temporary or permanent successor Trust Collateral Agent appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to its predecessor and to
the Trustee, each Issuer Secured Party and the Issuer an instrument in writing accepting such appointment hereunder and the relevant predecessor shall execute, acknowledge and deliver such other documents and instruments as will effectuate the
delivery of all Collateral to the successor Trust Collateral Agent, whereupon such successor, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the estates, properties, rights, powers, duties and obligations of its
predecessor. Such predecessor shall, nevertheless, on the written request of either Issuer Secured Party or the Issuer, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor all the estates, properties, rights and powers of such
predecessor hereunder. In the event that any instrument in writing from the Issuer or an Issuer Secured Party is reasonably required by a successor Trust Collateral Agent to more fully and certainly vest in such successor the estates, properties,
rights, powers, duties and obligations vested or intended to be vested hereunder in the Trust Collateral Agent, any and all such written instruments shall, at the request of the temporary or permanent successor Trust Collateral Agent, be forthwith
executed, acknowledged and delivered by the Trustee or the Issuer, as the case may be. The designation of any successor Trust Collateral Agent and the instrument or instruments removing any Trust Collateral Agent and appointing a successor
hereunder, together with all other instruments provided for herein, shall be maintained with the records relating to the Collateral and, to the extent required by applicable law, filed or recorded by the successor Trust Collateral Agent in each
place where such filing or recording is necessary to effect the transfer of the Collateral to the successor Trust Collateral Agent or to protect or continue the perfection of the security interests granted hereunder. 

SECTION 6.18          Compensation.    The
Trust Collateral Agent shall not be entitled to any compensation for the performance of its duties hereunder other than the compensation it is entitled to receive in its capacity as Trustee. 

SECTION 6.19          Representations and Warranties of the Trust
Collateral Agent and the Issuer. 
 (a)        The Trust Collateral Agent
represents and warrants to the Issuer and to each Issuer Secured Party as follows: 

  
 52 

 (i)        Due
Organization. The Trust Collateral Agent is a national banking association and is duly authorized and licensed under applicable law to conduct its business as presently conducted. 

(ii)       Corporate Power. The Trust Collateral Agent has all
requisite right, power and authority to execute and deliver this Indenture and to perform all of its duties as Trust Collateral Agent hereunder. 

(iii)      Due Authorization. The execution and delivery by the Trust
Collateral Agent of this Indenture and the Basic Documents to which it is a party, and the performance by the Trust Collateral Agent of its duties hereunder and thereunder, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate proceedings and no
further approvals or filings, including any governmental approvals, are required for the valid execution and delivery by the Trust Collateral Agent, or the performance by the Trust Collateral Agent, of this Indenture and such Basic Documents. 

(iv)      Valid and Binding Indenture. The Trust Collateral Agent has
duly executed and delivered this Indenture and each Basic Document to which it is a party, and each of this Indenture and each such Basic Document constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Trust Collateral Agent, enforceable against
the Trust Collateral Agent in accordance with its terms, except as (A) such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization and similar laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally
and (B) the availability of equitable remedies may be limited by equitable principles of general applicability. 

(v)       No Conflicts. The execution and delivery of each Basic
Document to which it is a party by the Trust Collateral Agent and the performance by the Trust Collateral Agent of its obligations thereunder, in its capacity as Trust Collateral Agent or otherwise, do not conflict with or result in any violation of
(A) any law or regulation of the United States of America governing the banking or trust powers of the Trust Collateral Agent or (B) the articles of incorporation and by-laws of the Trust Collateral
Agent. 
 (vi)      No Actions. To the best of the Trust Collateral
Agent’s knowledge, there are no actions, proceedings or investigations known to the Trust Collateral Agent, either pending or threatened in writing, before any court, regulatory body, administrative agency or other tribunal or governmental
instrumentality which would, if adversely determined, affect in any material respect the consummation, validity or enforceability against the Trust Collateral Agent, in its capacity as Trust Collateral Agent or otherwise, of any Basic Document. 

(b)        The Issuer represents and warrants that the representations and warranties
set forth on the attached Schedule of Representations with respect to the Receivables as of the Cutoff Date, and as of the Closing Date, are true and correct. Such representations and warranties speak as of the execution and delivery of this
Indenture and as of the Closing Date, but shall survive the pledge of the Receivables to the Trust Collateral Agent and shall not be waived. 

  
 53 

SECTION 6.20          Waiver of
Setoffs.    The Trust Collateral Agent hereby expressly waives any and all rights of setoff that the Trust Collateral Agent may otherwise at any time have under applicable law with respect to any Trust Account and agrees that
amounts in the Trust Accounts shall at all times be held and applied solely in accordance with the provisions hereof and the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

and Addresses of Noteholders. The Issuer will furnish or cause to be furnished to the Trustee and the Trust Collateral Agent (a) not more than five days after the earlier of (i) each Record Date and (ii) three months after the
last Record Date, a list, in such form as the Trustee may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of the Holders as of such Record Date, (b) at such other times as the Trustee or the Trust Collateral Agent may request in writing, within
thirty (30) days after receipt by the Issuer of any such request, a list of similar form and content as of a date not more than ten (10) days prior to the time such list is furnished; provided, however, that so long as the Trustee
is the Note Registrar, no such list shall be required to be furnished. The Trustee and the Trust Collateral Agent shall each be fully protected and have no liability for relying on any such list furnished by the Issuer. 

SECTION 7.2            Preservation of Information;
Communications to Noteholders. 
 (a)        The Trustee shall preserve, in as
current a form as is reasonably practicable, the names and addresses of the Holders contained in the most recent list furnished to the Trustee as provided in Section 7.1 and the names and addresses of Holders received by the Trustee in its
capacity as Note Registrar. The Trustee may destroy any list furnished to it as provided in such Section 7.1 upon receipt of a new list so furnished. 

(b)        Noteholders may communicate pursuant to TIA § 312(b) with other
Noteholders with respect to their rights under this Indenture or under the Notes. 

(c)        The Issuer, the Trustee and the Note Registrar shall have the protection of
TIA § 312(c). 
 (d)        A Noteholder (if the Notes are represented by
Definitive Notes) or a Note Owner (if the Notes are represented by Book-Entry Notes) may communicate with the Trustee and provide notices and make requests and demands and give directions to the Trustee through the procedures of the Clearing Agency
and by notice to the Trustee. Any Note Owner must provide a written certification stating that the Note Owner is a beneficial owner of a Note, together with supporting documentation such as a trade confirmation, an account statement, a letter from a
broker or dealer verifying ownership or another similar document evidencing ownership of a Note upon which the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely without liability therefor. The Trustee will not be required to take action in response to
requests, demands or directions of a Noteholder or a Note Owner, other than requests, demands or directions relating to an asset representations review demand pursuant to Section 7.2(f), unless the Noteholder or Note Owner

  
 54 

 
has offered reasonable security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee to protect it against the costs and expenses that it may incur in complying with the request, demand or
direction. 
 (e)        A Noteholder (if the Notes are represented by Definitive
Notes) or a Note Owner (if the Notes are represented by Book-Entry Notes) that wishes to communicate with other Noteholders or Note Owners, as applicable, about a possible exercise of rights under this Indenture or the Basic Documents may send a
request to the Issuer or the Servicer, on behalf of the Issuer, to include information regarding the communication in a Form 10-D to be filed by the Issuer with the Commission. Each request must include
(i) the name of the requesting Noteholder or Note Owner, (ii) the method by which other Noteholders or Note Owners, as applicable, may contact the requesting Noteholder or Note Owner and (iii) in the case of a Note Owner, a
certification from that Person that it is a Note Owner, together with at least one form of documentation evidencing its ownership of a Note, including a trade confirmation, account statement, letter from a broker or dealer or similar document. A
Noteholder or Note Owner, as applicable, that delivers a request under this Section 7.2(e) will be deemed to have certified to the Issuer and the Servicer that its request to communicate with other Noteholders or Note Owners, as applicable,
relates solely to a possible exercise of rights under this Indenture or the Basic Documents, and will not be used for other purposes. The Issuer will promptly deliver any such request to the Servicer. On receipt of a request, the Servicer will
include, or will cause the Depositor (at the Servicer’s expense) to include, in the Form 10-D filed by the Issuer with the Commission for the Collection Period in which the request was received (A) a
statement that the Issuer has received a request from a Noteholder or Note Owner, as applicable, that is interested in communicating with other Noteholders or Note Owners, as applicable, about a possible exercise of rights under this Indenture or
the Basic Documents, (B) the name of the requesting Noteholder or Note Owner, (C) the date the request was received and (D) a description of the method by which the other Noteholders or Note Owners, as applicable, may contact the
requesting Noteholder or Note Owner. 
 (f)        If a Delinquency Trigger occurs,
a Noteholder (if the Notes are represented by Definitive Notes) or a Note Owner (if the Notes are represented by Book-Entry Notes) may make a demand on the Trustee to cause a vote of the Noteholders or Note Owners, as applicable, about whether to
direct the Asset Representations Reviewer to conduct an Asset Review of the Asset Review Receivables under the Asset Representations Review Agreement. In the case of a Note Owner, each demand must be accompanied by a certification from that Person
that it is a Note Owner, together with at least one form of documentation evidencing its ownership of a Note, including a trade confirmation, account statement, letter from a broker or dealer or similar document. If Noteholders and Note Owners, as
applicable, of at least 5% of the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Notes demand a vote within ninety (90) days of the filing of the Form 10-D reporting the occurrence of the Delinquency Trigger, the
Trustee will promptly request such a vote of the Noteholders through the Clearing Agency, which vote will remain open until the 150th day after the filing of the related Form 10-D. If (i) a voting quorum of Noteholders holding at least 5% of the aggregate Outstanding Amount participate in the related vote and (ii) Noteholders of a majority of the Outstanding Amount of Notes
that voted agree to an Asset Review, then the Trustee will send an Asset Review Notice to the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Servicer to the notice addresses set forth in Section 12.3(a) of

  
 55 

 
the Sale and Servicing Agreement directing the Asset Representations Reviewer to conduct the Asset Review. 

SECTION 7.3            Reports by Issuer. 

(a)        The Issuer shall: 

(i)        file with the Trustee, within fifteen (15) days after
the Issuer is required to file the same with the Commission, copies of the annual reports and of the information, documents and other reports (or copies of such portions of any of the foregoing as the Commission may from time to time by rules and
regulations prescribe) which the Issuer may be required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act; 

(ii)       file with the Trustee and the Commission in accordance with
rules and regulations prescribed from time to time by the Commission such additional information, documents and reports with respect to compliance by the Issuer with the conditions and covenants of this Indenture as may be required from time to time
by such rules and regulations; and 
 (iii)      supply to the Trustee (and
the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Noteholders described in TIA § 313(c)) such summaries of any information, documents and reports required to be filed by the Issuer pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section 7.3(a) as
may be required by rules and regulations prescribed from time to time by the Commission. 

(b)        Unless the Issuer otherwise determines, the fiscal year of the Issuer shall
end on December 31 of each year. 

SECTION 7.4            Reports by
Trustee.    If required by TIA § 313(a), within sixty (60) days after each May 31, beginning with May 31, 2021, the Trustee shall mail to each Noteholder if required by TIA § 313(c) a brief
report dated as of such date that complies with TIA § 313(a). The Trustee also shall comply with TIA § 313(b). 

A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to Noteholders shall be filed by the Trustee with the Commission and each
stock exchange, if any, on which the Notes are listed. The Issuer shall notify the Trustee if and when the Notes are listed on any stock exchange. 

SECTION 7.5            Review Reports. Upon the
request of any Noteholder to the Trustee for a copy of any Review Report (as defined in the Asset Representations Review Agreement), the Trustee shall promptly provide a copy of such Review Report to such Noteholder; provided, that if the requesting
Noteholder is not a Noteholder of record, such Noteholder must provide the Trustee with a written certification stating that it is a beneficial owner of a Note, together with supporting documentation supporting that statement (which may include, but
is not limited to, a trade confirmation, an account statement or a letter from a broker or dealer verifying ownership) before the Trustee delivers such Review Report to such Noteholder; provided, further, that the Trustee shall provide the Servicer
with notice of such request before delivering the related Review Report to the requesting Noteholder and if such 

  
 56 

 
Review Report contains personally identifiable information regarding Obligors, and if the Servicer provides notice to the Trustee, then the Servicer may condition the Trustee’s delivery of
that portion of the Review Report to the requesting Noteholder on such Noteholder’s delivery to the Servicer of an agreement acknowledging that such Noteholder may use such information only for the limited purpose of assessing the nature of the
related breaches of representations and warranties and may not use that information for any other purpose. 
 ARTICLE VIII 

Accounts, Disbursements and Releases 

SECTION 8.1        Collection of Money.    Except as
otherwise expressly provided herein, the Trustee may demand payment or delivery of, and shall receive and collect, directly and without intervention or assistance of any fiscal agent or other intermediary, all money and other property payable to or
receivable by the Trust Collateral Agent pursuant to this Indenture and the Sale and Servicing Agreement. The Trustee shall apply all such money received by it, or cause the Trust Collateral Agent to apply all money received by it as provided in
this Indenture and the Sale and Servicing Agreement. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Indenture or in the Sale and Servicing Agreement, if any default occurs in the making of any payment or performance under any agreement or instrument
that is part of the Trust Estate, the Trustee may take such action as may be appropriate to enforce such payment or performance, including the institution and prosecution of appropriate proceedings. Any such action shall be without prejudice to any
right to claim a Default or Event of Default under this Indenture and any right to proceed thereafter as provided in Article V. 

SECTION 8.2        Release of Trust Estate. 

(a)        Subject to the payment of its fees and expenses and other amounts pursuant
to Section 6.7, the Trust Collateral Agent may, and when required by the provisions of this Indenture shall, execute instruments prepared by and at the expense of the Seller to release property from the lien of this Indenture, in a manner and
under circumstances that are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture. No party relying upon an instrument executed by the Trust Collateral Agent as provided in this Article VIII shall be bound to ascertain the Trust Collateral
Agent’s authority, inquire into the satisfaction of any conditions precedent or see to the application of any moneys. 

(b)        The Trust Collateral Agent shall, at such time as there are no Notes
outstanding and all sums due the Trustee and the Trust Collateral Agent pursuant to the Basic Documents have been paid, execute such documents as are reasonably provided to it by the Seller (which documents shall be prepared at the Seller’s
expense) in order to release any remaining portion of the Trust Estate that secured the Notes from the lien of this Indenture and release to the Issuer or any other Person entitled thereto any funds then on deposit in the Trust Accounts. 

SECTION 8.3        Opinion of Counsel.    The Trust
Collateral Agent shall receive at least seven (7) days’ notice when requested by the Issuer to take any action pursuant to Section 8.2(a), accompanied by copies of any instruments involved, and the Trustee shall also require as a
condition to such action, an Opinion of Counsel in form and substance satisfactory to the 

  
 57 

 
Trustee, stating the legal effect of any such action, outlining the steps required to complete the same, and concluding that all conditions precedent to the taking of such action have been
complied with. Counsel rendering any such opinion may rely, without independent investigation, on the accuracy and validity of any certificate or other instrument delivered to the Trustee in connection with any such action. 

ARTICLE IX

this Indenture or in any supplemental indenture; provided that such action shall not adversely affect the interests of the Holders of the Notes; 

(vi)      to evidence and provide for the acceptance of the appointment
hereunder by a successor trustee with respect to the Notes and to add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one trustee, pursuant to the
requirements of Article VI; or 
 (vii)     to modify, eliminate or add to the
provisions of this Indenture to such extent as shall be necessary to effect the qualification of this Indenture under the TIA or 

  
 58

The Trustee is hereby authorized to join in the execution of any such supplemental indenture and to make any further

changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of, this Indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Notes under this Indenture; provided, however, that such action shall not, as evidenced by an
Opinion of Counsel, adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Noteholder. 

SECTION 9.2            Supplemental Indentures with
Consent of Noteholders.    The Issuer and the Trustee, when authorized by an Issuer Order, also may, with prior notice to the Rating Agencies by the Issuer, and with the consent of the Majority Noteholders, by Act of such
Holders delivered to the Issuer and the Trustee, enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding any provisions to, or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of, this Indenture or of modifying

on any Note, or reduce the principal amount thereof, the interest rate thereon or the Redemption Price with respect thereto, change the provision of this Indenture relating to the application of collections on, or the proceeds of the sale of, the

(b)        impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of the provisions of

 59 

 (f)        modify any provision of
this Section except to increase any percentage specified herein or to provide that certain additional provisions of this Indenture or the Basic Documents cannot be modified or waived without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Note
affected thereby; 
 (g)        modify any of the provisions of this Indenture in
such manner as to affect the calculation of the amount of any payment of interest or principal due on any Note on any Distribution Date (including, in all cases, the calculation of any of the individual components of such calculation) or to affect
the rights of the Noteholders to the benefit of any provisions for the mandatory redemption of the Notes contained herein; or 

(h)        permit the creation of any lien ranking prior to or on a parity with the
lien of this Indenture with respect to any part of the Trust Estate or, except as otherwise permitted or contemplated herein or in any of the Basic Documents, terminate the lien of this Indenture on any property at any time subject hereto or deprive
the Holder of any Note of the security provided by the lien of this Indenture. 
 The Trustee may determine whether or not
any Notes would be affected by any supplemental indenture and any such determination shall be conclusive upon the Holders of all Notes, whether theretofore or thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder. The Trustee shall not be liable for any
such determination made in good faith. 
 It shall not be necessary for any Act of Noteholders under this Section to approve
the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such Act shall approve the substance thereof. 

Promptly after the execution by the Issuer and the Trustee of any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Section, the Trustee
shall mail to the Holders of the Notes to which such amendment or supplemental indenture relates a notice setting forth in general terms the substance of such supplemental indenture. Any failure of the Trustee to mail such notice, or any defect
therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture. 

SECTION 9.3            Execution of Supplemental
Indentures.    In executing, or permitting the additional trusts created by, any supplemental indenture permitted by this Article IX or the amendments or modifications thereby of the trusts created by this Indenture, the
Trustee and the Trust Collateral Agent shall be entitled to receive and shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture. The
Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such supplemental indenture that affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties, liabilities or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise. 

SECTION 9.4        Effect of Supplemental
Indenture.    Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions hereof, this Indenture shall be and be deemed to be modified and amended in accordance therewith with respect to the Notes affected
thereby, and the respective rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties, liabilities and immunities under this Indenture of the Trustee, the Issuer and the Holders of the Notes shall thereafter be

  
 60 

 
determined, exercised and enforced hereunder subject in all respects to such modifications and amendments, and all the terms and conditions of any such supplemental indenture shall be and be
deemed to be part of the terms and conditions of this Indenture for any and all purposes. 

SECTION 9.5            Conformity With Trust Indenture
Act.    Every amendment of this Indenture and every supplemental indenture executed pursuant to this Article IX shall conform to the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act as then in effect so long as this Indenture shall
then be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act. 

SECTION 9.6            Reference in Notes to Supplemental
Indentures.    Notes authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Article IX may, and if required by the Trustee shall, bear a notation in form approved by the Trustee as to
any matter provided for in such supplemental indenture. If the Issuer or the Trustee shall so determine, new Notes so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Trustee and the Issuer, to any such supplemental indenture may be prepared and
executed by the Issuer and authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in exchange for Outstanding Notes. 
 ARTICLE X 

Redemption of Notes 

SECTION 10.1          Redemption. 

(a)        The Notes shall be redeemed in whole, but not in part, on any Distribution
Date on which the Servicer or Seller exercises its option to purchase the Trust Estate pursuant to Section 10.1(a) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, for a purchase price equal to the Redemption Price; provided, however, that no such
redemption may be effected unless the Issuer has available funds sufficient to pay the Redemption Price on such Distribution Date. The Servicer or the Issuer shall furnish the Rating Agencies notice of such redemption. If the Notes are to be
redeemed pursuant to this Section 10.1(a), the Servicer or the Issuer shall furnish notice of such election to the Trustee not later than twenty-five (25) days prior to the Redemption Date and the Issuer shall deposit with the Trustee in
the Collection Account the amount required to be so deposited pursuant to Section 10.1(a) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, whereupon all outstanding Notes shall be due and payable on the Redemption Date subject to the furnishing of a notice
complying with Section 10.2 to each Holder of Notes. 
 (b)        In the event
that the assets of the Trust are distributed pursuant to Section 8.1 of the Trust Agreement, all amounts on deposit in the Note Distribution Account shall be paid to the Noteholders up to the Outstanding Amount of the Notes and all accrued and
unpaid interest thereon. If amounts are to be paid to Noteholders pursuant to this Section 10.1(b), the Servicer or the Issuer shall, to the extent practicable, furnish notice of such event to the Trustee not later than forty-five
(45) days prior to the Redemption Date whereupon all such amounts shall be payable on the Redemption Date. 

SECTION 10.2          Form of Redemption. 

(a)        Notice of redemption under Section 10.1(a) shall be given by the
Trustee by facsimile or by first-class mail, postage prepaid, transmitted or mailed prior to the applicable 

  
 61 

 
Redemption Date to each Holder of Notes, as of the close of business on the Record Date preceding the applicable Redemption Date, at such Holder’s address appearing in the Note Register.

 All notices of redemption shall state: 

(i)        the Redemption Date; 

(ii)       the Redemption Price; 

(iii)      that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Redemption Date is
not applicable and that payments shall be made only upon presentation and surrender of such Notes and the place where such Notes are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price (which shall be the office or agency of the Issuer to be
maintained as provided in Section 3.2); and 
 (iv)      that interest on
the Notes shall cease to accrue on the Redemption Date. 
 (b)        Notice of
redemption of the Notes shall be given by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Issuer. Failure to give notice of redemption, or any defect therein, to any Holder of any Note shall not impair or affect the validity of the redemption of
any other Note. 
 (c)        Prior notice of redemption under Section 10.1(b)
is not required to be given to the Noteholders. 

SECTION 10.3          Notes Payable on Redemption
Date.    The Notes to be redeemed shall, following notice of redemption, as required by Section 10.2 (in the case of redemption pursuant to Section 10.1(a)), on the Redemption Date become due and payable at the
Redemption Price and (unless the Issuer shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price) no interest shall accrue on the Redemption Price for any period after the date to which accrued interest is calculated for purposes of calculating the
Redemption Price.

year, as set forth in the certificates required by clause (iii) above and this clause (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 1 percent of the then Outstanding Amount of the Notes. 

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

 SECTION 11.2          Form of Documents
Delivered to Trustee.    In any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be certified by, or covered by the
opinion of, only one such Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more other such Persons as to other matters, and any such
Person may certify or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents. 
 Any certificate or opinion of an
Authorized Officer of the Issuer may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, counsel, unless such officer knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the
certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which his or her 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 Seller or the Issuer, stating that the information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the Servicer, the
Seller or the Issuer, 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. 

Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two (2) or more applications, requests, consents, certificates,
statements, opinions or other instruments under this Indenture, they may, but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument. 

Whenever in this Indenture, in connection with any application or certificate or report to the Trustee, it is provided that
the Issuer shall deliver any document as a condition of the granting of such application, or as evidence of the Issuer’s compliance with any term hereof, it is 

  
 64 

 
intended that the truth and accuracy, at the time of the granting of such application or at the effective date of such certificate or report (as the case may be), of the facts and opinions stated
in such document shall in such case be conditions precedent to the right of the Issuer to have such application granted or to the sufficiency of such certificate or report. The foregoing shall not, however, be construed to affect the Trustee’s
right to rely upon the truth and accuracy of any statement or opinion contained in any such document as provided in Article VI. 

SECTION 11.3          Acts of Noteholders. 

(a)        Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or
other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Noteholders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Noteholders in person or by agents duly appointed in writing; and
except as herein otherwise expressly provided such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee, and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Issuer. Such instrument or instruments (and the
action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Noteholders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such
agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 6.1) conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Issuer, if made in the manner provided in this Section. In the event the Trustee shall receive conflicting or
inconsistent requests and indemnity from two or more groups of Noteholders, each representing less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes or the Majority Noteholders, the Trustee in its sole discretion may determine what action, if
any, shall be taken, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture. 

(b)        The fact and date of the execution by any person of any such instrument or
writing may be proved in any customary manner of the Trustee. 
 (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 shall bind the Holder of every Note issued upon the registration thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, in respect of anything done,
omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee or the Issuer in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Note. 

SECTION 11.4          Notices, etc., to Trustee, Issuer 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 Trustee by any Noteholder or by the Issuer shall be personally
delivered, delivered by overnight courier or mailed certified mail, return receipt requested and shall be deemed to have been duly given upon receipt to the Trustee at its applicable Corporate Trust Office, or 

(b)        The Issuer by the Trustee or by any Noteholder shall be personally
delivered, delivered by overnight courier or mailed certified mail, return receipt requested and shall deemed 

  
 65 

 
to have been duly given upon receipt to the Issuer addressed to: AmeriCredit Automobile Receivables Trust 2021-1, in care of Wilmington Trust Company,
Rodney Square North, 1100 North Market Street, Wilmington, Delaware 19890-0001, Attention: Corporate Trust Administration, with a copy to AmeriCredit Automobile Receivables Trust 2021-1, c/o AmeriCredit
Financial Services, Inc., 801 Cherry Street, Suite 3500, Fort Worth, Texas 76102, Attention: Chief Financial Officer, or at any other address previously furnished in writing to the Trustee by Issuer. The Issuer shall promptly transmit any notice
received by it from the Noteholders to the Trustee. 

(c)        Notices required to be given to the Rating Agencies shall
be provided by the Issuer in writing, personally delivered, electronically delivered, delivered by overnight courier or mailed certified mail, return receipt requested to (i) in the case of Fitch, at the following address: Fitch Ratings, Inc.,
33 Whitehall Street, New York, New York 10004, Attention: Asset Backed Surveillance; or (ii) in the case of Standard & Poor’s, via electronic delivery to Servicer_reports@spglobal.com; for any information not available in
electronic format, hard copies should be sent to S&P Global Ratings, 55 Water Street, 41st Floor, New York, New York 10041, Attention: ABS Surveillance; or as to each of the foregoing, at such other address as shall be designated by written
notice to the other parties. 
 SECTION 11.5          Notices to
Noteholders; Waiver.    Where this Indenture provides for notice to Noteholders of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class, postage
prepaid to each Noteholder affected by such event, at his address as it appears on the Note Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice. In any case where notice to
Noteholders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice nor any defect in any notice so mailed to any particular Noteholder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Noteholders, and any notice that is mailed in
the manner here in provided shall conclusively be presumed to have been duly given. 
 Where this Indenture provides for
notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by any Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Noteholders shall be filed with
the Trustee but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such a waiver. 

In case, by reason of the suspension of regular mail service as a result of a strike, work stoppage or similar activity, it
shall be impractical to mail notice of any event to Noteholders when such notice is required to be given pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, then any manner of giving such notice as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee shall be deemed to be
a sufficient giving of such notice. 
 Where this Indenture provides for notice to the Rating Agencies, failure to give such
notice shall not affect any other rights or obligations created hereunder, and shall not under any circumstance constitute a Default or Event of Default. 

SECTION 11.6          [Reserved] 

  
 66 

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

successors. All agreements of the Trust Collateral Agent in this Indenture shall bind its successors. 

SECTION 11.10        Separability.    In case any

SECTION 11.11        Benefits of Indenture.    Nothing
in this Indenture or in the Notes, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and their successors hereunder, the Noteholders, 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 11.12        Legal Holidays.    In any case
where the date on which any payment is due shall not be a Business Day, then (notwithstanding any other provision of the Notes or this Indenture) payment need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the
same force and effect as if made on the date on which nominally due, and no interest shall accrue for the period from and after any such nominal date. 

SECTION 11.13        GOVERNING LAW.    THIS INDENTURE
SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND THIS INDENTURE AND ALL MATTERS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THIS INDENTURE SHALL BE, GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS (OTHER
THAN SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW). 

SECTION 11.14        Counterparts and Consent to Do Business
Electronically

to the Trustee or any other counsel reasonably acceptable to the 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 Trustee or the Trust Collateral Agent under this Indenture. 

SECTION 11.16        Trust Obligation.    No recourse

 [REVERSE OF NOTE] 

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Issuer, designated as its
Class A-1 0.15954% Asset Backed Notes (herein called the “Class A-1 Notes”), all issued under an Indenture dated as of March 10, 2021 (such
indenture, as supplemented or amended, is herein called the “Indenture”), between the Issuer and Citibank, N.A., as trustee (the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor Trustee under the Indenture) and as trust
collateral agent (the “Trust Collateral Agent”), which term includes any successor Trust Collateral Agent) to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights
and obligations thereunder of the Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes. The Notes are subject to all terms of the Indenture. All terms used in this Note that are defined in the Indenture, as supplemented or amended, shall have the
meanings assigned to them in or pursuant to the Indenture, as so supplemented or amended. 
 The Class A-1 Notes, the Class A-2 Notes, the Class A-3 Notes, the Class B Notes, the Class C Notes, the
Class D Notes and the Class E Notes (together, the “Notes”) are and will be equally and ratably secured by the collateral pledged as security therefor as provided in the Indenture. 

Principal of the Class A-1 Notes will be payable on each Distribution Date in an
amount described on the face hereof. “Distribution Date” means the eighteenth day of each month, or, if any such date is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day, commencing April 19, 2021. If AmeriCredit is no longer
acting as Servicer, the distribution date may be a different day of the month. The term “Distribution Date,” shall be deemed to include the Final Scheduled Distribution Date. 

As described above, the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note shall be due and payable on the earlier of the Final
Scheduled Distribution Date and the Redemption Date, if any, pursuant to the Indenture. As described above, a portion of the unpaid principal amount of this Note shall be due and payable on the Redemption Date, if any. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the entire unpaid principal amount of the Notes shall be due and payable on the date on which an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Majority Noteholders have declared the Notes to be immediately due and payable in the
manner provided in the Indenture. All principal payments on the Class A-1 Notes shall be made pro rata to the Class A-1 Noteholders entitled thereto. 

Payments of interest on this Note due and payable on each Distribution Date, together with the installment of principal, if
any, to the extent not in full payment of this Note, shall be made by check mailed to the Person whose name appears as the Holder of this Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) on the Note Register as of the close of business on each Record Date,
except that with respect to Notes registered on the Record Date in the name of the nominee of the Clearing Agency (initially, such nominee to be Cede & Co.), payments will be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the
account designated by such nominee. Such checks shall be mailed to the Person entitled thereto at the address of such Person as it appears on the Note Register as of the applicable Record Date without requiring that this Note be submitted for
notation of payment. Any reduction in the principal amount of this Note (or any one or more Predecessor Notes) effected by any payments made on any Distribution Date shall be binding 

  
 A-1-5 

 
upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not noted hereon. If funds are expected to
be available, as provided in the Indenture, for payment in full of the then remaining unpaid principal amount of this Note on a Distribution Date, then the Trustee, in the name of and on behalf of the Issuer, will notify the Person who was the
Holder hereof as of the Record Date preceding such Distribution Date by notice mailed prior to such Distribution Date and the amount then due and payable shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of this Note at the Trustee’s
principal Corporate Trust Office or at the office of the Trustee’s agent appointed for such purposes located in Jersey City, New Jersey. 

The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the
Class A-1 Interest Rate to the extent lawful. 
 As provided in the Indenture
and subject to certain limitations set forth therein, the transfer of this Note may be registered on the Note Register upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency designated by the Issuer pursuant to the
Indenture, (i) duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, with such signature guaranteed by an
“eligible guarantor institution” meeting the requirements of the Note Registrar which requirements include membership or participation in Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program (“STAMP”) or such other “signature
guarantee program” as may be determined by the Note Registrar in addition to, or in substitution for, STAMP, all in accordance with the Exchange Act, and (ii) accompanied by such other documents as the Trustee may require, and thereupon
one or more new Notes of authorized denominations and in the same aggregate principal amount will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. No service charge will be charged for any registration of transfer or exchange of this Note, but
the transferor may be required to pay a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any such registration of transfer or exchange. 

If this Note has been issued as a Definitive Note, the Note Registrar shall not register the transfer of this Note unless the
prospective transferee has represented and warranted in writing that either (a) it is not a Benefit Plan Entity or (b) it is a Benefit Plan Entity and its acquisition, holding and disposition of this Note is covered by a Prohibited
Transaction Class Exemption or the Statutory Exemption or otherwise will not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code
(or, if it is subject to any Similar Law, such acquisition, holding and disposition will not violate such Similar Law). If this Note has been issued as a Book Entry Note, each transferee of this Note or any beneficial interest herein shall be deemed
to represent that either (a) it is not a Benefit Plan Entity or (b) it is a Benefit Plan Entity and its acquisition, holding and disposition of this Note or any beneficial interest herein is covered by a Prohibited Transaction
Class Exemption or the Statutory Exemption or otherwise will not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (or, if it is
subject to any Similar Law, such acquisition, holding and disposition will not violate such Similar Law). 
 Each Noteholder
or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note covenants and agrees (i) that no recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuer, the Owner
Trustee, the Trust 

  
 A-1-6 

 
Collateral Agent or the Trustee on the Notes or under the Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered in connection therewith, against (a) the Seller, the Servicer, the Trustee,
the Trust Collateral Agent or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, (b) any owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer or (c) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer, director or employee of the Seller, the Servicer, the
Trustee, the Trust Collateral Agent or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, any holder of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, the Seller, the Servicer, the Owner Trustee, the Trust Collateral Agent or the Trustee or of any successor or
assign of the Seller, the Servicer, the Trustee, the Trust Collateral Agent or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, except as any such Person may have expressly agreed (it being understood that the Trustee, the Trust Collateral Agent and
the Owner Trustee have no such obligations in their individual capacity) and except that any such partner, owner or beneficiary shall be fully liable, to the extent provided by applicable law, for any unpaid consideration for stock, unpaid capital
contribution or failure to pay any installment or call owing to such entity, and (ii) to treat the Notes that are owned or beneficially owned by a Person other than AFS SenSub Corp., or its Affiliates, as indebtedness for purposes of federal
income, State and local income and franchise and any other income taxes. 
 Prior to the due presentment for registration of
transfer of this Note, the Issuer, the Trust Collateral Agent and the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer, the Trust Collateral Agent or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Note (as of the day of determination or as of such other
date as may be specified in the Indenture) is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and neither the Issuer, the Trust Collateral Agent, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the
contrary.

 [REVERSE OF NOTE] 

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Issuer, designated as its
Class A-2 0.28% Asset Backed Notes (herein called the “Class A-2 Notes”), all issued under an Indenture dated as of March 10, 2021 (such
indenture, as supplemented or amended, is herein called the “Indenture”), between the Issuer and Citibank, N.A., as trustee (the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor Trustee under the Indenture) and as trust
collateral agent (the “Trust Collateral Agent”), which term includes any successor Trust Collateral Agent) to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights
and obligations thereunder of the Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes. The Notes are subject to all terms of the Indenture. All terms used in this Note that are defined in the Indenture, as supplemented or amended, shall have the
meanings assigned to them in or pursuant to the Indenture, as so supplemented or amended. 
 The Class A-1 Notes, the Class A-2 Notes, the Class A-3 Notes, the Class B Notes, the Class C Notes, the
Class D Notes and the Class E Notes (together, the “Notes”) are and will be equally and ratably secured by the collateral pledged as security therefor as provided in the Indenture. 

Principal of the Class A-2 Notes will be payable on each Distribution Date in an
amount described on the face hereof. “Distribution Date” means the eighteenth day of each month, or, if any such date is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day, commencing April 19, 2021. If AmeriCredit is no longer
acting as Servicer, the distribution date may be a different day of the month. The term “Distribution Date,” shall be deemed to include the Final Scheduled Distribution Date. 

As described above, the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note shall be due and payable on the earlier of the Final
Scheduled Distribution Date and the Redemption Date, if any, pursuant to the Indenture. As described above, a portion of the unpaid principal amount of this Note shall be due and payable on the Redemption Date, if any. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the entire unpaid principal amount of the Notes shall be due and payable on the date on which an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Majority Noteholders have declared the Notes to be immediately due and payable in the
manner provided in the Indenture. All principal payments on the Class A-2 Notes shall be made pro rata to the Class A-2 Noteholders entitled thereto. 

Payments of interest on this Note due and payable on each Distribution Date, together with the installment of principal, if
any, to the extent not in full payment of this Note, shall be made by check mailed to the Person whose name appears as the Holder of this Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) on the Note Register as of the close of business on each Record Date,
except that with respect to Notes registered on the Record Date in the name of the nominee of the Clearing Agency (initially, such nominee to be Cede & Co.), payments will be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the
account designated by such nominee. Such checks shall be mailed to the Person entitled thereto at the address of such Person as it appears on the Note Register as of the applicable Record Date without requiring that this Note be submitted for
notation of payment. Any reduction in the principal amount of this Note (or any one or more Predecessor Notes) effected by any payments made on any Distribution Date shall be binding 

  
 A-2-1-5 

 
upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not noted hereon. If funds are expected to
be available, as provided in the Indenture, for payment in full of the then remaining unpaid principal amount of this Note on a Distribution Date, then the Trustee, in the name of and on behalf of the Issuer, will notify the Person who was the
Holder hereof as of the Record Date preceding such Distribution Date by notice mailed prior to such Distribution Date and the amount then due and payable shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of this Note at the Trustee’s
principal Corporate Trust Office or at the office of the Trustee’s agent appointed for such purposes located in Jersey City, New Jersey. 

The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the
Class A-2 Interest Rate to the extent lawful. 
 As provided in the Indenture
and subject to certain limitations set forth therein, the transfer of this Note may be registered on the Note Register upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency designated by the Issuer pursuant to the
Indenture, (i) duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, with such signature guaranteed by an
“eligible guarantor institution” meeting the requirements of the Note Registrar which requirements include membership or participation in Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program (“STAMP”) or such other “signature
guarantee program” as may be determined by the Note Registrar in addition to, or in substitution for, STAMP, all in accordance with the Exchange Act, and (ii) accompanied by such other documents as the Trustee may require, and thereupon
one or more new Notes of authorized denominations and in the same aggregate principal amount will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. No service charge will be charged for any registration of transfer or exchange of this Note, but
the transferor may be required to pay a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any such registration of transfer or exchange. 

If this Note has been issued as a Definitive Note, the Note Registrar shall not register the transfer of this Note unless the
prospective transferee has represented and warranted in writing that either (a) it is not a Benefit Plan Entity or (b) it is a Benefit Plan Entity and its acquisition, holding and disposition of this Note is covered by a Prohibited
Transaction Class Exemption or the Statutory Exemption or otherwise will not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code
(or, if it is subject to any Similar Law, such acquisition, holding and disposition will not violate such Similar Law). If this Note has been issued as a Book Entry Note, each transferee of this Note or any beneficial interest herein shall be deemed
to represent that either (a) it is not a Benefit Plan Entity or (b) it is a Benefit Plan Entity and its acquisition, holding and disposition of this Note or any beneficial interest herein is covered by a Prohibited Transaction
Class Exemption or the Statutory Exemption or otherwise will not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (or, if it is
subject to any Similar Law, such acquisition, holding and disposition will not violate such Similar Law). 
 Each Noteholder
or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note covenants and agrees (i) that no recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuer, the Owner
Trustee, the Trust

Trustee, the Trust Collateral Agent or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, any holder of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, the Seller, the Servicer, the Owner Trustee, the Trust Collateral Agent or the Trustee or of any successor or
assign of the Seller, the Servicer, the Trustee, the Trust Collateral Agent or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, except as any such Person may have expressly agreed (it being understood that the Trustee, the Trust Collateral Agent and
the Owner Trustee have no such obligations in their individual capacity) and except that any such partner, owner or beneficiary shall be fully liable, to the extent provided by applicable law, for any unpaid consideration for stock, unpaid capital
contribution or failure to pay any installment or call owing to such entity, and (ii) to treat the Notes that are owned or beneficially owned by a Person other than AFS SenSub Corp., or its Affiliates, as indebtedness for purposes of federal
income, State and local income and franchise and any other income taxes. 
 Prior to the due presentment for registration of
transfer of this Note, the Issuer, the Trust Collateral Agent and the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer, the Trust Collateral Agent or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Note (as of the day of determination or as of such other
date as may be specified in the Indenture) is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and neither the Issuer, the Trust Collateral Agent, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the
contrary. 
 The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification
of the rights and obligations of the Issuer and the rights of the Holders of the Notes under the Indenture at any time by the Issuer with the consent of the Majority Noteholders. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Noteholders
representing specified percentages of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes, to waive compliance by the Issuer with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their
consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note (or any one of more Predecessor Notes) shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of
transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note. The Indenture also permits the Trustee to amend or waive certain terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture
without the consent of Holders of the Notes issued thereunder. 
 The term “Issuer” as used in this Note includes
any successor to the Issuer under the Indenture. 
 The Issuer is permitted by the Indenture, under certain circumstances,
to merge or consolidate, subject to the rights of the Trustee and the Noteholders under the Indenture.

issuable only in registered form in denominations as provided in the Indenture, subject to certain limitations therein set forth.

 [REVERSE OF NOTE] 

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Issuer, designated as its
Class A-3 0.37% Asset Backed Notes (herein called the “Class A-3 Notes”), all issued under an Indenture dated as of March 10, 2021 (such
indenture, as supplemented or amended, is herein called the “Indenture”), between the Issuer and Citibank, N.A., as trustee (the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor Trustee under the Indenture) and as trust
collateral agent (the “Trust Collateral Agent”), which term includes any successor Trust Collateral Agent) to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights
and obligations thereunder of the Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes. The Notes are subject to all terms of the Indenture. All terms used in this Note that are defined in the Indenture, as supplemented or amended, shall have the
meanings assigned to them in or pursuant to the Indenture, as so supplemented or amended. 
 The Class A-1 Notes, the Class A-2 Notes, the Class A-3 Notes, the Class B Notes, the Class C Notes, the
Class D Notes and the Class E Notes (together, the “Notes”) are and will be equally and ratably secured by the collateral pledged as security therefor as provided in the Indenture. 

Principal of the Class A-3 Notes will be payable on each Distribution Date in an
amount described on the face hereof. “Distribution Date” means the eighteenth day of each month, or, if any such date is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day, commencing April 19, 2021. If AmeriCredit is no longer
acting as Servicer, the distribution date may be a different day of the month. The term “Distribution Date,” shall be deemed to include the Final Scheduled Distribution Date. 

As described above, the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note shall be due and payable on the earlier of the Final
Scheduled Distribution Date and the Redemption Date, if any, pursuant to the Indenture. As described above, a portion of the unpaid principal amount of this Note shall be due and payable on the Redemption Date, if any. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the entire unpaid principal amount of the Notes shall be due and payable on the date on which an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Majority Noteholders have declared the Notes to be immediately due and payable in the
manner provided in the Indenture. All principal payments on the Class A-3 Notes shall be made pro rata to the Class A-3 Noteholders entitled thereto. 

Payments of interest on this Note due and payable on each Distribution Date, together with the installment of principal, if
any, to the extent not in full payment of this Note, shall be made by check mailed to the Person whose name appears as the Holder of this Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) on the Note Register as of the close of business on each Record Date,
except that with respect to Notes registered on the Record Date in the name of the nominee of the Clearing Agency (initially, such nominee to be Cede & Co.), payments will be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the
account designated by such nominee. Such checks shall be mailed to the Person entitled thereto at the address of such Person as it appears on the Note Register as of the applicable Record Date without requiring that this Note be submitted for
notation of payment. Any reduction in the principal amount of this Note (or any one or more Predecessor Notes) effected by any payments made on any Distribution Date shall be binding 

  
 A-3-5 

 
upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not noted hereon. If funds are expected to
be available, as provided in the Indenture, for payment in full of the then remaining unpaid principal amount of this Note on a Distribution Date, then the Trustee, in the name of and on behalf of the Issuer, will notify the Person who was the
Holder hereof as of the Record Date preceding such Distribution Date by notice mailed prior to such Distribution Date and the amount then due and payable shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of this Note at the Trustee’s
principal Corporate Trust Office or at the office of the Trustee’s agent appointed for such purposes located in Jersey City, New Jersey. 

The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the
Class A-3 Interest Rate to the extent lawful. 
 As provided in the Indenture
and subject to certain limitations set forth therein, the transfer of this Note may be registered on the Note Register upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency designated by the Issuer pursuant to the
Indenture, (i) duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, with such signature guaranteed by an
“eligible guarantor institution” meeting the requirements of the Note Registrar which requirements include membership or participation in Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program (“STAMP”) or such other “signature
guarantee program” as may be determined by the Note Registrar in addition to, or in substitution for, STAMP, all in accordance with the Exchange Act, and (ii) accompanied by such other documents as the Trustee may require, and thereupon
one or more new Notes of authorized denominations and in the same aggregate principal amount will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. No service charge will be charged for any registration of transfer or exchange of this Note, but
the transferor may be required to pay a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any such registration of transfer or exchange. 

If this Note has been issued as a Definitive Note, the Note Registrar shall not register the transfer of this Note unless the
prospective transferee has represented and warranted in writing that either (a) it is not a Benefit Plan Entity or (b) it is a Benefit Plan Entity and its acquisition, holding and disposition of this Note is covered by a Prohibited
Transaction Class Exemption or the Statutory Exemption or otherwise will not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code
(or, if it is subject to any Similar Law, such acquisition, holding and disposition will not violate such Similar Law). If this Note has been issued as a Book Entry Note, each transferee of this Note or any beneficial interest herein shall be deemed
to represent that either (a) it is not a Benefit Plan Entity or (b) it is a Benefit Plan Entity and its acquisition, holding and disposition of this Note or any beneficial interest herein is covered by a Prohibited Transaction
Class Exemption or the Statutory Exemption or otherwise will not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (or, if it is
subject to any Similar Law, such acquisition, holding and disposition will not violate such Similar Law). 
 Each Noteholder
or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note covenants and agrees (i) that no recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuer, the Owner
Trustee, the Trust

contribution or failure to pay any installment or call owing to such entity, and (ii) to treat the Notes that are owned or beneficially owned by a Person other than AFS SenSub Corp., or its Affiliates, as indebtedness for purposes of federal
income, State and local income and franchise and any other income taxes. 
 Prior to the due presentment for registration of
transfer of this Note, the Issuer, the Trust Collateral Agent and the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer, the Trust Collateral Agent or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Note (as of the day of determination or as of such other

transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note. The Indenture also permits the Trustee to amend or waive certain terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture
without the consent of Holders of the Notes issued thereunder. 
 The term “Issuer” as used in this Note includes

issued to the designated transferee or transferees. No service charge will be charged for any registration of transfer or exchange of this Note, but the transferor may be required to pay a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge
that may be imposed in connection with any such registration of transfer or exchange. 
 If this Note has been issued as a
Definitive Note, the Note Registrar shall not register the transfer of this Note unless the prospective transferee has represented and warranted in writing that either (a) it is not a Benefit Plan Entity or (b) it is a Benefit Plan Entity
and its acquisition, holding and disposition of this Note is covered by a Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption or the Statutory Exemption or otherwise will not constitute or result in a non-exempt
prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (or, if it is subject to any Similar Law, such acquisition, holding and disposition will not violate such Similar Law). If this Note has been issued as a Book
Entry Note, each transferee of this Note or any beneficial interest herein shall be deemed to represent that either (a) it is not a Benefit Plan Entity or (b) it is a Benefit Plan Entity and its acquisition, holding and disposition of this
Note or any beneficial interest herein is covered by a Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption or the Statutory Exemption or otherwise will not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction
under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (or, if it is subject to any Similar Law, such acquisition, holding and disposition will not violate such Similar Law). 

Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note

the Owner Trustee have no such obligations in their individual capacity) and except that any such partner, owner or beneficiary shall be fully liable, to the extent provided by applicable law, for any unpaid consideration for stock, unpaid capital
contribution or failure to pay any installment or call owing to such entity, and (ii) to treat the Notes that are owned or beneficially owned by a Person other than AFS SenSub Corp., or its Affiliates, as indebtedness for purposes of federal
income, State and local income and franchise and any other income taxes. 
 Prior to the due presentment for registration of
transfer of this Note, the Issuer, the Trust Collateral Agent and the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer, the Trust Collateral Agent or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Note (as of the day of determination or as of such other
date as may be specified in the Indenture) is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and neither the Issuer, the Trust Collateral Agent, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the

of the rights and obligations of the Issuer and the rights of the Holders of the Notes under the Indenture at any time by the Issuer with the consent of the Majority Noteholders. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Noteholders
representing specified percentages of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes, to waive compliance by the Issuer with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their
consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note (or any one of more Predecessor Notes) shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of
transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note. The Indenture also permits the Trustee to amend or waive certain terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture
without the consent of Holders of the Notes issued thereunder. 
 The term “Issuer” as used in this Note includes
any successor to the Issuer under the Indenture. 
 The Issuer is permitted by the Indenture, under certain circumstances,
to merge or consolidate, subject to the rights of the Trustee and the Noteholders under the Indenture. 
 The Notes are
issuable only in registered form in denominations as provided in the Indenture, subject to certain limitations therein set forth.

 [REVERSE OF NOTE] 

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Issuer, designated as its Class C 0.89% Asset Backed Notes
(herein called the “Class C Notes”), all issued under an Indenture dated as of March 10, 2021 (such indenture, as supplemented or amended, is herein called the “Indenture”), between the Issuer and Citibank,
N.A., as trustee (the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor Trustee under the Indenture) and as trust collateral agent (the “Trust Collateral Agent”), which term includes any successor Trust Collateral Agent)
to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights and obligations thereunder of the Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes. The Notes are subject to all terms of
the Indenture. All terms used in this Note that are defined in the Indenture, as supplemented or amended, shall have the meanings assigned to them in or pursuant to the Indenture, as so supplemented or amended. 

The Class A-1 Notes, the Class A-2
Notes, the Class A-3 Notes, the Class B Notes, the Class C Notes, the Class D Notes and the Class E Notes (together, the “Notes”) are and will be equally and ratably
secured by the collateral pledged as security therefor as provided in the Indenture. 
 Principal of the Class C Notes
will be payable on each Distribution Date in an amount described on the face hereof. “Distribution Date” means the eighteenth day of each month, or, if any such date is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day, commencing
April 19, 2021. If AmeriCredit is no longer acting as Servicer, the distribution date may be a different day of the month. The term “Distribution Date,” shall be deemed to include the Final Scheduled Distribution Date. 

As described above, the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note shall be due and payable on the earlier of the Final
Scheduled Distribution Date and the Redemption Date, if any, pursuant to the Indenture. As described above, a portion of the unpaid principal amount of this Note shall be due and payable on the Redemption Date, if any. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the entire unpaid principal amount of the Notes shall be due and payable on the date on which an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Majority Noteholders have declared the Notes to be immediately due and payable in the
manner provided in the Indenture. All principal payments on the Class C Notes shall be made pro rata to the Class C Noteholders entitled thereto. 

Payments of interest on this Note due and payable on each Distribution Date, together with the installment of principal, if
any, to the extent not in full payment of this Note, shall be made by check mailed to the Person whose name appears as the Holder of this Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) on the Note Register as of the close of business on each Record Date,
except that with respect to Notes registered on the Record Date in the name of the nominee of the Clearing Agency (initially, such nominee to be Cede & Co.), payments will be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the
account designated by such nominee. Such checks shall be mailed to the Person entitled thereto at the address of such Person as it appears on the Note Register as of the applicable Record Date without requiring that this Note be submitted for
notation of payment. Any reduction in the principal amount of this Note (or any one or more Predecessor Notes) effected by any payments made on any Distribution Date shall be binding 

  
 C-5 

 
upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not noted hereon. If funds are expected to
be available, as provided in the Indenture, for payment in full of the then remaining unpaid principal amount of this Note on a Distribution Date, then the Trustee, in the name of and on behalf of the Issuer, will notify the Person who was the
Holder hereof as of the Record Date preceding such Distribution Date by notice mailed prior to such Distribution Date and the amount then due and payable shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of this Note at the Trustee’s
principal Corporate Trust Office or at the office of the Trustee’s agent appointed for such purposes located in Jersey City, New Jersey. 

The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the Class C Interest Rate to the extent lawful. 

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations set forth therein, the transfer of this Note may be registered
on the Note Register upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency designated by the Issuer pursuant to the Indenture, (i) duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, with such signature guaranteed by an “eligible guarantor institution” meeting the requirements of the Note Registrar which
requirements include membership or participation in Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program (“STAMP”) or such other “signature guarantee program” as may be determined by the Note Registrar in addition to, or in substitution
for, STAMP, all in accordance with the Exchange Act, and (ii) accompanied by such other documents as the Trustee may require, and thereupon one or more new Notes of authorized denominations and in the same aggregate principal amount will be
issued to the designated transferee or transferees. No service charge will be charged for any registration of transfer or exchange of this Note, but the transferor may be required to pay a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge
that may be imposed in connection with any such registration of transfer or exchange. 
 If this Note has been issued as a
Definitive Note, the Note Registrar shall not register the transfer of this Note unless the prospective transferee has represented and warranted in writing that either (a) it is not a Benefit Plan Entity or (b) it is a Benefit Plan Entity
and its acquisition, holding and disposition of this Note is covered by a Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption or the Statutory Exemption or otherwise will not constitute or result in a non-exempt
prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (or, if it is subject to any Similar Law, such acquisition, holding and disposition will not violate such Similar Law). If this Note has been issued as a Book

under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (or, if it is subject to any Similar Law, such acquisition, holding and disposition will not violate such Similar Law). 

Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note
covenants and agrees (i) that no recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Trust

upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not noted hereon. If funds are expected to
be available, as provided in the Indenture, for payment in full of the then remaining unpaid principal amount of this Note on a Distribution Date, then the Trustee, in the name of and on behalf of the Issuer, will notify the Person who was the
Holder hereof as of the Record Date preceding such Distribution Date by notice mailed prior to such Distribution Date and the amount then due and payable shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of this Note at the Trustee’s
principal Corporate Trust Office or at the office of the Trustee’s agent appointed for such purposes located in Jersey City, New Jersey. 

The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the Class D Interest Rate to the extent lawful. 

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations set forth therein, the transfer of this Note may be registered
on the Note Register upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency designated by the Issuer pursuant to the Indenture, (i) duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, with such signature guaranteed by an “eligible guarantor institution” meeting the requirements of the Note Registrar which
requirements include membership or participation in Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program (“STAMP”) or such other “signature guarantee program” as may be determined by the Note Registrar in addition to, or in substitution
for, STAMP, all in accordance with the Exchange Act, and (ii) accompanied by such other documents as the Trustee may require, and thereupon one or more new Notes of authorized denominations and in the same aggregate principal amount will be
issued to the designated transferee or transferees. No service charge will be charged for any registration of transfer or exchange of this Note, but the transferor may be required to pay a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge
that may be imposed in connection with any such registration of transfer or exchange. 
 If this Note has been issued as a
Definitive Note, the Note Registrar shall not register the transfer of this Note unless the prospective transferee has represented and warranted in writing that either (a) it is not a Benefit Plan Entity or (b) it is a Benefit Plan Entity
and its acquisition, holding and disposition of this Note is covered by a Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption or the Statutory Exemption or otherwise will not constitute or result in a non-exempt
prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (or, if it is subject to any Similar Law, such acquisition, holding and disposition will not violate such Similar Law). If this Note has been issued as a Book
Entry Note, each transferee of this Note or any beneficial interest herein shall be deemed to represent that either (a) it is not a Benefit Plan Entity or (b) it is a Benefit Plan Entity and its acquisition, holding and disposition of this
Note or any beneficial interest herein is covered by a Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption or the Statutory Exemption or otherwise will not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction
under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (or, if it is subject to any Similar Law, such acquisition, holding and disposition will not violate such Similar Law). 

Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note
covenants and agrees (i) that no recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Trust

Collateral Agent or the Trustee on the Notes or under the Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered in connection therewith, against (a) the Seller, the Servicer, the Trustee,
the Trust Collateral Agent or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, (b) any owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer or (c) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer, director or employee of the Seller, the Servicer, the
Trustee, the Trust Collateral Agent or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, any holder of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, the Seller, the Servicer, the Owner Trustee, the Trust Collateral Agent or the Trustee or of any successor or
assign of the Seller, the Servicer, the Trustee, the Trust Collateral Agent or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, except as any such Person may have expressly agreed (it being understood that the Trustee, the Trust Collateral Agent and
the Owner Trustee have no such obligations in their individual capacity) and except that any such partner, owner or beneficiary shall be fully liable, to the extent provided by applicable law, for any unpaid consideration for stock, unpaid capital
contribution or failure to pay any installment or call owing to such entity, and (ii) to treat the Notes that are owned or beneficially owned by a Person other than AFS SenSub Corp., or its Affiliates, as indebtedness for purposes of federal
income, State and local income and franchise and any other income taxes. 
 Prior to the due presentment for registration of
transfer of this Note, the Issuer, the Trust Collateral Agent and the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer, the Trust Collateral Agent or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Note (as of the day of determination or as of such other
date as may be specified in the Indenture) is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and neither the Issuer, the Trust Collateral Agent, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the
contrary.

of the rights and obligations of the Issuer and the rights of the Holders of the Notes under the Indenture at any time by the Issuer with the consent of the Majority Noteholders. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Noteholders
representing specified percentages of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes, to waive compliance by the Issuer with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their
consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note (or any one of more Predecessor Notes) shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of
transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note. The Indenture also permits the Trustee to amend or waive certain terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture
without the consent of Holders of the Notes issued thereunder. 
 The term “Issuer” as used in this Note includes
any successor to the Issuer under the Indenture. 
 The Issuer is permitted by the Indenture, under certain circumstances,
to merge or consolidate, subject to the rights of the Trustee and the Noteholders under the Indenture. 
 The Notes are
issuable only in registered form in denominations as provided in the Indenture, subject to certain limitations therein set forth.

 [REVERSE OF NOTE] 

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Issuer, designated as its Class E Asset Backed Notes (herein
called the “Class E Notes”), all issued under an Indenture dated as of March 10, 2021 (such indenture, as supplemented or amended, is herein called the “Indenture”), between the Issuer and Citibank, N.A., as
trustee (the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor Trustee under the Indenture) and as trust collateral agent (the “Trust Collateral Agent”), which term includes any successor Trust Collateral Agent) to which
Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights and obligations thereunder of the Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes. The Notes are subject to all terms of the
Indenture. All terms used in this Note that are defined in the Indenture, as supplemented or amended, shall have the meanings assigned to them in or pursuant to the Indenture, as so supplemented or amended. 

The Class A-1 Notes, the Class A-2
Notes, the Class A-3 Notes, the Class B Notes, the Class C Notes, the Class D Notes and the Class E Notes (together, the “Notes”) are and will be equally and ratably
secured by the collateral pledged as security therefor as provided in the Indenture. 
 Principal of the Class E Notes
will be payable on each Distribution Date in an amount described on the face hereof. “Distribution Date” means the eighteenth day of each month, or, if any such date is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day, commencing
April 19, 2021. If AmeriCredit is no longer acting as Servicer, the distribution date may be a different day of the month. The term “Distribution Date,” shall be deemed to include the Final Scheduled Distribution Date. 

As described above, the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note shall be due and payable on the earlier of the Final
Scheduled Distribution Date and the Redemption Date, if any, pursuant to the Indenture. As described above, a portion of the unpaid principal amount of this Note shall be due and payable on the Redemption Date, if any. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the entire unpaid principal amount of the Notes shall be due and payable on the date on which an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Majority Noteholders have declared the Notes to be immediately due and payable in the
manner provided in the Indenture. All principal payments on the Class E Notes shall be made pro rata to the Class E Noteholders entitled thereto. 

Payments of interest on this Note due and payable on each Distribution Date, together with the installment of principal, if
any, to the extent not in full payment of this Note, shall be made by check mailed to the Person whose name appears as the Holder of this Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) on the Note Register as of the close of business on each Record Date,
except that with respect to Notes registered on the Record Date in the name of the nominee of the Clearing Agency (initially, such nominee to be Cede & Co.), payments will be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the
account designated by such nominee. Such checks shall be mailed to the Person entitled thereto at the address of such Person as it appears on the Note Register as of the applicable Record Date without requiring that this Note be submitted for
notation of payment. Any reduction in the principal amount of this Note (or any one or more Predecessor Notes) effected by any payments made on any Distribution Date shall be binding 

  
 E-6 

 
upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not noted hereon. If funds are expected to
be available, as provided in the Indenture, for payment in full of the then remaining unpaid principal amount of this Note on a Distribution Date, then the Trustee, in the name of and on behalf of the Issuer, will notify the Person who was the
Holder hereof as of the Record Date preceding such Distribution Date by notice mailed prior to such Distribution Date and the amount then due and payable shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of this Note at the Trustee’s
principal Corporate Trust Office or at the office of the Trustee’s agent appointed for such purposes located in Jersey City, New Jersey. 

The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the Class E Interest Rate to the extent lawful. 

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations set forth therein, the transfer of this Note may be registered
on the Note Register upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency designated by the Issuer pursuant to the Indenture, (i) duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, with such signature guaranteed by an “eligible guarantor institution” meeting the requirements of the Note Registrar which
requirements include membership or participation in Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program (“STAMP”) or such other “signature guarantee program” as may be determined by the Note Registrar in addition to, or in substitution
for, STAMP, all in accordance with the Exchange Act, and (ii) accompanied by such other documents as the Trustee may require, and thereupon one or more new Notes of authorized denominations and in the same aggregate principal amount will be
issued to the designated transferee or transferees. No service charge will be charged for any registration of transfer or exchange of this Note, but the transferor may be required to pay a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge
that may be imposed in connection with any such registration of transfer or exchange. 
 If this Note has been issued as a
Definitive Note, the Note Registrar shall not register the transfer of this Note unless the prospective transferee has represented and warranted in writing it is not a Benefit Plan Entity. If this Note has been issued as a Book Entry Note, each
transferee of this Note or any beneficial interest herein shall be deemed to represent that it is not a Benefit Plan Entity. 

Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note
covenants and agrees (i) that no recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Trust Collateral Agent or the Trustee on the Notes or under the Indenture or any certificate
or other writing delivered in connection therewith, against (a) the Seller, the Servicer, the Trustee, the Trust Collateral Agent or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, (b) any owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer or
(c) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer, director or employee of the Seller, the Servicer, the Trustee, the Trust Collateral Agent or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, any holder of a beneficial interest in the Issuer,
the Seller, the Servicer, the Owner Trustee, the Trust Collateral Agent or the Trustee or of any successor or assign of the Seller, the Servicer, the Trustee, the Trust Collateral Agent or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, except as any
such Person may have expressly agreed (it being 

  
 E-7 

 
understood that the Trustee, the Trust Collateral Agent and the Owner Trustee have no such obligations in their individual capacity) and except that any such partner, owner or beneficiary shall
be fully liable, to the extent provided by applicable law, for any unpaid consideration for stock, unpaid capital contribution or failure to pay any installment or call owing to such entity, and (ii) to treat the Notes that are owned or
beneficially owned by a Person other than AFS SenSub Corp., or its Affiliates, as indebtedness for purposes of federal income, State and local income and franchise and any other income taxes. 

Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of this Note, the Issuer, the Trust Collateral Agent and the Trustee
and any agent of the Issuer, the Trust Collateral Agent or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Note (as of the day of determination or as of such other date as may be specified in the Indenture) is registered as the owner hereof for
all purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and neither the Issuer, the Trust Collateral Agent, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights
and obligations of the Issuer and the rights of the Holders of the Notes under the Indenture at any time by the Issuer with the consent of the Majority Noteholders. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Noteholders representing
specified percentages of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes, to waive compliance by the Issuer with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences.
Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note (or any one of more Predecessor Notes) shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or
in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note. The Indenture also permits the Trustee to amend or waive certain terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture without the consent of
Holders of the Notes issued thereunder. 
 The term “Issuer” as used in this Note includes any successor to the
Issuer under the Indenture. 
 The Issuer is permitted by the Indenture, under certain circumstances, to merge or
consolidate, subject to the rights of the Trustee and the Noteholders under the Indenture. 
 The Notes are issuable only in
registered form in denominations as provided in the Indenture, subject to certain limitations therein set forth. 
 This
Note and the Indenture shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without reference to its conflict of law provisions, and the obligations, rights and remedies of the parties hereunder and thereunder shall be determined
in accordance with such laws. 
 No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture
shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Note at the times, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency herein prescribed. 

  
 E-8 

 Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, except as expressly
provided in the Indenture or the Basic Documents, neither Wilmington Trust Company in its individual capacity, any owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, nor any of their respective partners, 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 this Note or the Indenture, it being expressly understood that said covenants, obligations and indemnifications have been made by the Issuer for the sole purposes of binding the Issuer. The Holder of this Note by the
acceptance hereof agrees that except as expressly provided in the Indenture or the Basic Documents, in the case of an Event of Default under the 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 Issuer for any and all liabilities, obligations and undertakings contained in the Indenture or in this
Note.

 SCHEDULE A 

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE ISSUER 

Representations and Warranties Regarding the Receivables: 

1.      Security Interest in Financed Vehicle. This Indenture creates a valid and
continuing Security Interest (as defined in the applicable UCC) in the Receivables in favor of the Trust Collateral Agent, which Security Interest is prior to all other Liens, and is enforceable as such as against creditors of and purchasers from
the Seller. The Issuer owns and has good and marketable title to the Receivables free and clear of any Lien (other than the Lien in favor of the Trust Collateral Agent), claim or encumbrance of any Person. 

2.      Perfection of Security Interest. Each Receivable is secured by a first priority
validly perfected security interest in the related Financed Vehicle or all necessary actions with respect to such Receivable have been taken or will be taken to perfect a first priority security interest in the related Financed Vehicle in favor of
the Trust Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Issuer Secured Party. 
 3.      All
Filings Made. The Issuer has taken all steps necessary to perfect the Trust Collateral Agent’s security interest in the property securing the Receivables, provided that, if not done as of the Closing Date, the Issuer will cause, within ten
days of the Closing Date, the filing of all appropriate financing statements in the proper filing office in the State of Delaware under applicable law in order to perfect the security interest in the Receivables granted to the Trust Collateral Agent
hereunder. All financing statements filed or to be filed against the Issuer in favor of the Trust Collateral Agent in connection herewith describing the Receivables contain a statement to the following effect: “A purchase of or a security
interest in any collateral described in this financing statement will violate the rights of the Trust Collateral Agent.” 

4.      No Impairment. The Issuer has not done anything to convey any right to any Person
that would result in such Person having a right to payments due under the Receivable or otherwise to impair the rights of the Trustee, the Trust Collateral Agent and the Noteholders in any Receivable or the proceeds thereof. Other than the security
interest granted to the Trust Collateral Agent pursuant to this Indenture, the Issuer has not pledged, assigned, sold, granted a security interest in, or otherwise conveyed any of the Receivables. The Issuer has not authorized the filing of and is
not aware of any financing statements against the Issuer that include a description of collateral covering the Receivables other than any financing statement relating to the security interest granted to the Trust Collateral Agent hereunder or that
has been terminated. The Issuer is not aware of any judgment, ERISA or tax lien filings against it. 

5.      Chattel Paper. The Receivables constitute “tangible chattel paper” or
“electronic chattel paper” within the meaning of the UCC. 

  
 Sch.A-1 

 6.      Good Title. Immediately prior

chattel paper”, the Servicer has marked all copies of each such Contract other than an authoritative copy with a legend to the following effect: “This is not an authoritative copy.” 

10.    Revisions. With respect to Contracts that are “electronic chattel paper”, the
related Receivables have been established in a manner such that (a) all copies or revisions that add or change an identified assignee of the authoritative copy of each such Contract must be made with the participation of the Trust Collateral
Agent and (b) all revisions of the authoritative copy of each such Contract must be readily identifiable as an authorized or unauthorized revision. 

11.    Pledge or Assignment. With respect to Contracts that are “electronic chattel
