Section 2.1      Form of Notes.

(a)      Form.  Each Class of Notes will be in substantially the form of Exhibit A with variations required or permitted by this Indenture.  The Notes may have marks of identification and legends or endorsements as determined by the Responsible Person of the Issuer executing the Notes.  The physical Notes will be produced by a method determined by the Responsible Person of the Issuer executing the Notes.

_______________

(c)      Denomination.  The Notes will initially be issued as Book-Entry Notes.  The Notes will be issued in minimum denominations of $1,000 and in multiples of $1,000.  However, one Note of each Class may be issued in a different amount if it exceeds the minimum denomination for the Class.

(d)      Certificate of Authentication.  No Note will have the benefit of this Indenture or be valid unless it has a certificate of authentication substantially in the form included in Exhibit A manually executed by an authorized signatory of the Indenture Trustee.  The certificate of authentication on a Note will be conclusive evidence that the Note has been duly authenticated and delivered under this Indenture.  Each Note will be dated the date of its authentication.

Section 2.3      Tax Treatment.  The Issuer intends that Notes be treated as indebtedness for purposes of U.S. federal, State and local income tax, franchise tax, and any other tax imposed on or measured in whole or in part by income.  The Issuer, by entering into this Indenture, and each Noteholder, by its acceptance of a Note (and each Note Owner by its acceptance of an interest in the applicable Book-Entry Note), agree to treat the Notes as indebtedness for purposes of U.S. federal, State and local income tax, franchise tax, and any other tax imposed on or measured in whole or in part by income and the Issuer as a mere security device formed to hold the Receivables and issue Notes and Certificates.

Section 2.4      Note Register.  The Issuer appoints the Indenture Trustee to be the “Note Registrar” and to keep a register (the “Note Register”) for the purpose of registering Notes and transfers and exchanges of Notes, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe.  On resignation of the Note Registrar, the Issuer will promptly appoint a successor or, if it elects not to make the appointment, assume the obligations of Note Registrar.  If the Issuer appoints a Person other than the Indenture Trustee as Note Registrar, (i) the Issuer will notify the Indenture Trustee of the appointment and (ii) the Indenture Trustee will have the right to rely on a certificate executed by an officer of the Note Registrar listing the names and addresses of the Noteholders and the principal amounts and number of the Notes.  Each of the Indenture Trustee (if it is not the Note Registrar), the Issuer and the Administrator will have the right to inspect the Note Register at reasonable times and to receive copies of the Note Register.

Section 2.5      Registration of Transfer and Exchange.

(a)      Transfer of Notes.  A Noteholder may transfer a Note by surrendering the Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Issuer maintained under Section 3.2.  If the requirements of Section 8-401(a) of the UCC are met, the Issuer will execute and the Indenture Trustee will authenticate and deliver to the Noteholder, in the name of the transferee or transferees, new Notes of the same Class, in the same aggregate principal amount.

(b)      Exchange of Notes.  A Noteholder may exchange Notes for other Notes of the same Class by surrendering the Notes to be exchanged at the office or agency of the Issuer maintained under Section 3.2.  If the requirements of Section 8-401(a) of the UCC are met, the Issuer will execute, the Indenture Trustee will authenticate and the Noteholder will receive from the Indenture Trustee new Notes of the same Class, in the same aggregate principal amount.

(c)      Valid Obligation.  Notes issued on the registration of transfer or exchange of Notes will be the valid obligations of the Issuer, evidencing the same debt, and have the same benefits under this Indenture as the Notes surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange.

(d)      Surrendered Notes.  Every Note surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange will be (i) duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Note Registrar duly executed by, the Noteholder of the Note or the Noteholder’s authorized attorney, with the signature guaranteed by an “eligible guarantor institution” meeting the requirements of the Note Registrar including membership or participation in the Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program or another “signature guarantee program”, according to the Exchange Act and (ii) accompanied by other documents the Note Registrar may require.

(e)      No Service Charge.  None of the Issuer, the Note Registrar or the Indenture Trustee will impose a service charge on a Noteholder for the registration of transfer or exchange of Notes.  The Issuer, the Note Registrar or the Indenture Trustee may require the Noteholder to pay an amount to cover taxes or other governmental charges that may be imposed for the registration of transfer or exchange of the Notes.

(f)      Registration of Transfers and Exchanges.

(i)      The Note Register will register transfers and exchanges of Notes in the Note Register.  However, neither the Issuer nor the Note Registrar will be required to register transfers or exchanges of Notes for which the next Payment Date is not more than fifteen (15) days after the requested date of transfer or exchange or which have been called for redemption.

(ii)      Neither the Indenture Trustee nor the Note Registrar shall have any obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Note (including any transfers between or among Clearing Agency participants or beneficial owners of interests in any Book-Entry Note) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.

(g)      ERISA Representations.  Each Note Owner that is subject to Title I of ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code or Similar Law and any fiduciary acting on behalf of the Note Owner, by accepting an interest or participation in a Note, is deemed to represent that its purchase, holding and disposition of that interest or participation does not and will not result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code due to the applicability of a statutory or administrative exemption from the prohibited transaction rules (or, if the Note Owner is subject to Similar Law, the purchase, holding and disposition does not and will not result in a non-exempt violation of that Similar Law).

Section 2.6      [Reserved].

Section 2.7      Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes.

(a)      Replacement Notes.  If a mutilated Note is surrendered to the Indenture Trustee or the Indenture Trustee receives evidence of the destruction, loss or theft of a Note, the Issuer will execute and, on Issuer Request, the Indenture Trustee will authenticate and deliver a replacement Note of the same Class and principal amount in exchange for or in place of the Note if the following conditions are met: (i) the Indenture Trustee receives security or indemnity to hold the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee harmless, (ii) none of the Issuer, the Note Registrar or the Indenture Trustee have received notice that the Note has been acquired by a protected purchaser, as defined in Section 8-303 of the UCC and (iii) the requirements of Section 8-405 of the UCC are met.  However, if a destroyed, lost or stolen Note (but not a mutilated Note) is due and payable within fifteen (15) days or has been called for redemption, instead of issuing a replacement Note, the Issuer may pay the destroyed, lost or stolen Note when so due or payable or on the Redemption Date without surrender of the Note.  If a protected purchaser of the original Note in place of which the replacement Note was issued (or the payment made) presents for payment the original Note, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee may recover the replacement Note (or the payment) from the Person to whom it was delivered or a Person taking the replacement Note (or the payment) from the Person to whom the replacement Note (or the payment) was delivered or an assignee of that Person, except a protected purchaser, and may recover on the security or indemnity provided for the replacement Note (or the payment) for any fee, expense, loss, damage or liability incurred by the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee for the replacement Note (or the payment).

(b)      Taxes, Charges and Expenses.  On the issuance of a replacement Note under Section 2.7(a), (i) the Issuer may require the Noteholder of the Note to pay an amount to cover any taxes or other governmental charges imposed and any other reasonable expenses incurred for the replacement Note, (ii) the Indenture Trustee will, for a mutilated Note, cancel the Note and (iii) the Note Registrar will record in the Note Register that the destroyed, lost or stolen Note no longer has the benefits of this Indenture.

(c)      Additional Obligation.  Each replacement Note issued under Section 2.7(a) will be an original additional contractual obligation of the Issuer and will have the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with other Notes of the same Class duly issued under this Indenture.

(d)      Sole Remedy.  This Section 2.7 states the sole remedy available to Noteholders for the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes.

Section 2.8      Persons Deemed Owners.  On any date, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Note Registrar and any agent of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee may treat the Person in whose name a Note is registered as of that date as the owner of the Note for all purposes, including receiving payments of principal of and interest on the Note, without regard to any notice or other information to the contrary.

Section 2.9      Payments on Notes.

(a)      Interest Accrual.  Each Class of Notes will accrue interest on its Note Balance for each Interest Period until the Note Balance has been paid in full at a rate per annum equal to its Note Interest Rate for that Interest Period.  Interest on the Notes for each Interest Period will be calculated on the basis of (i) in the case of the Class A-1a Notes, the Class B Notes and the Class C Notes, a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months and (ii) in the case of the Class A-1b Notes, a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed in the related Interest Period.  Interest on each Note for each Interest Period will be due and payable on the related Payment Date.

(b)      Principal.  During the Revolving Period, no principal will be paid on the Notes.  During the Amortization Period, the principal of each Class of Notes will be payable in installments on each Payment Date in accordance with the provisions of Article VIII.  The Note Balance of each Class of Notes will be due and payable on the earlier of the Redemption Date or the applicable Final Maturity Date.  In addition, the Note Balance of each Class of Notes will be due and payable on the date the Notes are declared to be, or have automatically become, immediately due and payable according to Section 5.2(a).

(c)      Make-Whole Payments.  A Make-Whole Payment will be due in connection with the Optional Redemption of the Notes, as described in Section 8.2 of the Transfer and Servicing Agreement, and on each principal payment made on the Notes during the Amortization Period, if the Amortization Period began as a result of the occurrence of an Amortization Event described in either clause (a)(iii) or (d) of the definition of “Amortization Event,” solely to the extent funds are available therefor.  Any Make-Whole Payments on a Class of Notes not previously paid will be due and payable on the earlier of the Redemption Date or the applicable Final Maturity Date.  In addition, any Make-Whole Payments on a Class of Notes not previously paid will be due and payable on the date the Notes are declared to be, or have automatically become, immediately due and payable according to Section 5.2(a).  For the avoidance of doubt, no Make-Whole Payment will be payable in connection with any principal payment on the Notes resulting from (x) the occurrence of an Amortization Event described in either clause (a)(iii) or (d) of the definition of “Amortization Event” if such event occurs after the date set forth in clause (i) of the definition of “Amortization Period” or (y) an Optional Acquisition of the Receivables, as described in Section 8.1 of the Transfer and Servicing Agreement.

(d)      Monthly Payment of Interest, Principal and Other Amounts.  Payments of interest, principal and other amounts on each Class of Notes will be made pro rata to the Noteholders of that Class on each Payment Date.  For Book-Entry Notes, payments will be made by wire transfer to the account designated by the nominee of the Clearing Agency according to Section 2.12.  For Definitive Notes, payments will be made (i) if the Noteholder has given to the Note Registrar instructions at least five (5) Business Days before that Payment Date and the aggregate original principal amount of the Noteholder’s Notes is at least $1,000,000, by wire transfer to the account of the Noteholder or (ii) by check mailed first class mail, postage prepaid, to the Noteholder’s address as it appears on the Note Register on the related Record Date.  Amounts paid by wire transfers or checks that are returned undelivered will be held according to Section 3.3.

(e)      Payment of Final Installment.  The final installment of principal (whether payable by wire transfer or check) of each Note on a Payment Date, the Redemption Date or the applicable Final Maturity Date will be payable only on presentation and surrender of the Note, subject to Section 2.7(a).  Upon receipt of written notice thereof from the Servicer (which may be in the form of the Monthly Investor Report), the Indenture Trustee will notify each Noteholder of the date the Issuer expects to pay the final installment on any of the Notes, which notice will be delivered no later than five (5) days before that date (solely to the extent the Indenture Trustee has received notice prior to such date), and the place where the Notes may be presented and surrendered for payment.

Section 2.10      Cancellation of Notes.  Any Person that receives a Note surrendered for payment, registration of transfer, exchange or redemption will deliver the Note to the Indenture Trustee, and the Indenture Trustee will promptly cancel it.  The Issuer may surrender to the Indenture Trustee for cancellation Notes previously authenticated and delivered under this Indenture which the Issuer may have acquired, and the Indenture Trustee will promptly cancel them.  No Notes will be authenticated in place of or in exchange for Notes cancelled as stated in this Section 2.10.  The Indenture Trustee may hold or dispose of cancelled Notes according to its standard retention or disposal policy unless the Issuer directs, by Issuer Order, that they be destroyed or returned to it.

Section 2.11      Release of Collateral.  The Indenture Trustee will release property from the Lien of this Indenture only according to Sections 8.4 and 10.1.

Section 2.12      Book-Entry Notes.

(a)      Issuance and Registration.  The Notes will be issued as Book-Entry Notes on the Closing Date.  The Book-Entry Notes, on original issuance, will be issued in the form of printed Notes representing the Book-Entry Notes and delivered to The Depository Trust Company, the initial Clearing Agency, by, or on behalf of, the Issuer.  The Book-Entry Notes will be registered initially on the Note Register in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee of the initial Clearing Agency.

(b)      Sole Noteholder.  The Note Registrar and the Indenture Trustee may deal with the Clearing Agency as the sole Noteholder of the Book-Entry Notes for all purposes of this Indenture and will not be obligated to the Note Owners, except as stated in Section 7.1.

(c)      Rights.  The rights of Note Owners may be exercised only through the Clearing Agency and will be limited to those established by law and agreements between the Note Owners and the Clearing Agency and/or its participants under the Depository Agreement.

(d)      Clearing Agency Obligations.  The Clearing Agency will make book-entry transfers among its participants and receive and transmit payments of principal of and interest on the Book-Entry Notes to the participants.  The Indenture Trustee, the Note Registrar and the Note Paying Agent shall have no responsibility or liability for any actions taken or not taken by the Clearing Agency.

(e)      Representation of Noteholders.  If this Indenture requires or permits actions to be taken based on instructions or directions of the Noteholders of a stated percentage of the Note

Balance of the Notes (or the Controlling Class), the Clearing Agency will be deemed to represent those Noteholders only if it has received instructions to that effect from Note Owners and/or the Clearing Agency’s participants owning or representing, the required percentage of the beneficial interest of the Notes (or the Controlling Class) and has delivered the instructions to the Indenture Trustee.

(f)      Conflicts.  If this Section 2.12 conflicts with other terms of this Indenture, this Section 2.12 will control.

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

Section 2.13      Definitive Notes.  No Note Owner will receive a definitive, fully registered Note (a “Definitive Note”) representing the Note Owner’s interest in the Note unless and until (a) the Administrator notifies the Indenture Trustee that the Clearing Agency is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities as depository for the Book-Entry Notes and the Administrator is unable to reach an agreement on satisfactory terms with a qualified successor, (b) the Administrator notifies the Indenture Trustee that it elects to terminate the book-entry system through the Clearing Agency or (c) after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default or a Servicer Termination Event, Note Owners of a majority of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class notify the Indenture Trustee and the Clearing Agency that they elect to terminate the book-entry system through the Clearing Agency.  In these cases, the Clearing Agency will notify Note Owners and the Indenture Trustee of the availability of Definitive Notes.  After the Clearing Agency has surrendered the printed Notes representing the Book-Entry Notes and delivered the registration instructions to the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer will execute and the Indenture Trustee, on Issuer Request, will authenticate the Definitive Notes according to the instructions of the Clearing Agency.  None of the Issuer, the Note Registrar or the Indenture Trustee will be liable for delay in delivery of the instructions and may conclusively rely, and will be protected in relying, on the instructions.  On the issuance of Definitive Notes to Note Owners, the Indenture Trustee will recognize the holders of the Definitive Notes as Noteholders.

Section 2.14      Authenticating Agents.

(a)      Appointment.  The Indenture Trustee may appoint one or more Persons as authenticating agents for the Notes (each, an “Authenticating Agent”) with the power to act on its behalf and subject to its direction in the authentication of Notes for issuances, transfers, exchanges and replacements.  The authentication of Notes by an Authenticating Agent under this Section 2.14 is deemed to be the authentication of Notes “by the Indenture Trustee.” If no Authenticating Agent is appointed, the Indenture Trustee will be the Authenticating Agent for the Notes.

(b)      Resignation and Termination.  An Authenticating Agent may resign by notifying the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee.  The Indenture Trustee may terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by notifying the Authenticating Agent and the Owner Trustee.

(a)      Appointment.  The Indenture Trustee may appoint one or more Note Paying Agents that meet the eligibility standards for the Indenture Trustee in Section 6.11.  If no Note Paying Agent is appointed, then the Indenture Trustee will be the Note Paying Agent for the Notes.  Each Note Paying Agent will have the power to make distributions from the Bank Accounts.

(b)      Resignation and Termination.  A Note Paying Agent may resign by notifying the Indenture Trustee, the Administrator and the Issuer.  The Indenture Trustee may terminate the agency of a Note Paying Agent by notifying the Note Paying Agent, the Administrator and the Issuer.

Section 2.16      Effect of Benchmark Transition Event.

(a)      Benchmark Replacement.  If the Administrator determines that a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any determination of the Benchmark on any date, the Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes under the Transaction Documents and the Notes in respect of such determination on such date and all determinations on all subsequent dates.

(b)      Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes.  In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrator shall have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time.  Notice of the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date, the determination of a Benchmark Replacement and the making of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will be delivered in writing by the Administrator to the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, a Responsible Person of the Indenture Trustee, the Parent Support Provider, the Sponsor, the Depositor and the Servicer and included in the Monthly Investor Report. Notwithstanding anything in the Transaction Documents to the contrary, upon the delivery of notice to a Responsible Person of the Indenture Trustee and the inclusion of such information in the Monthly Investor Report, the relevant Transaction Documents and the Notes will be deemed to have been amended to reflect the new Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement, Benchmark Replacement Adjustment and/or Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes without further compliance with the amendment provisions of the relevant Transaction Documents.

(c)      Decisions and Determinations. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrator pursuant to this Section 2.16, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error, may be made in the Administrator’s sole discretion, and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Transaction Documents, shall

become effective without consent from any other party or Noteholder and shall not be subject to any of the amendment provisions of the Transaction Documents (including, without limitation, the provisions under Article IX). None of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Note Paying Agent, the Administrator, the Sponsor, the Depositor or the Servicer shall have any liability for any determination made by or on behalf of the Administrator in connection with a Benchmark Transition Event or a Benchmark Replacement as set forth above, and each Noteholder, by its acceptance of a Note or a beneficial interest in a Note, shall be deemed to waive and release any and all claims against the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Note Paying Agent, the Administrator, the Sponsor, the Depositor or the Servicer relating to any such determinations.  Notwithstanding anything in the Transaction Documents to the contrary, upon the delivery of notice to a Responsible Person of the Indenture Trustee and inclusion in a Monthly Investor Report of the information set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) of Section 3.5(a)(iii) in the Transfer and Servicing Agreement, the relevant Transaction Documents shall be deemed to have been amended to reflect the new Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement, Benchmark Replacement Adjustment and/or Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes without further compliance with the amendment provisions of the relevant Transaction Documents.  Neither the Indenture Trustee nor the Owner Trustee will have any liability or obligation with respect to any determination by the Administrator that a Benchmark Transition Event has occurred or the selection of any replacement index.

Section 3.1      Payment of Principal, Interest and Other Amounts.  The Issuer will duly and punctually pay the principal of and interest and Make-Whole Payments, if any, on the Notes according to the terms of the Notes and this Indenture.  Amounts withheld under the Code or State or local tax law by any Person from a payment to a Noteholder will be considered as having been paid by the Issuer to the Noteholder.

Section 3.2      Maintenance of Office or Agency.  The Issuer will maintain an office or agency at the Corporate Trust Office of the Indenture Trustee designated for such purpose, where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange, and where notices to and demands on the Issuer for the Notes and this Indenture may be served.  The Issuer initially appoints the Indenture Trustee to serve as its agent for those purposes.  The Issuer will promptly notify the Indenture Trustee of a change in the location of the office or agency.  If the Issuer fails to maintain the office or agency or fails to furnish the Indenture Trustee with the address of the office or agency, any surrender, notices or demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office, and the Issuer appoints the Indenture Trustee as its agent to receive them.

Section 3.3      Money for Payments To Be Held in Trust.

(a)      Payments on the Notes.  Payments on the Notes that are to be made from amounts withdrawn from the Bank Accounts will be made on behalf of the Issuer by the Note Paying Agent.  No amounts withdrawn for payments on the Notes may be paid over to the Issuer, except as stated in this Section 3.3.

(b)      Agreement by Note Paying Agent.  The Indenture Trustee will, and will cause each Note Paying Agent (other than the Indenture Trustee) to, execute and deliver to the Indenture Trustee, an instrument in which the Note Paying Agent agrees with the Indenture Trustee (and if the Indenture Trustee acts as the Note Paying Agent, it hereby so agrees) to:

(i)      hold funds held by it for the payment of amounts due on the Notes in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to that money and pay it to those Persons under this Indenture;

(ii)     notify the Indenture Trustee of a default by the Issuer of which it has actual knowledge in the making of a required payment on the Notes;

(iii)    during the continuance of a default, on the request of the Indenture Trustee, immediately pay to the Indenture Trustee money held by it in trust;

(c)      Payment Direction.  The Issuer may by Issuer Order, direct a Note Paying Agent to pay to the Indenture Trustee money held in trust by the Note Paying Agent, which money will be held by the Indenture Trustee on the same terms as the Note Paying Agent.  On a Note Paying Agent’s payment of money held in trust to the Indenture Trustee, the Note Paying Agent will be released from liability for such amounts.

(d)      Unclaimed Money.  Subject to applicable law, money held by the Indenture Trustee or a Note Paying Agent in trust under this Section 3.3 which remains unclaimed for two years after it became due and payable will be discharged from the trust and paid to the Issuer on Issuer Request.  After discharge and payment, the Noteholder of the Note will, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Issuer for payment of the amount due and unclaimed, and the Indenture Trustee or the Note Paying Agent will be released from liability for such amounts.  However, the Indenture Trustee or the Note Paying Agent, before making the payment, will publish once, at the expense and direction of the Issuer, in a newspaper customarily published on each Business Day in the English language and of general circulation in The City of New York, notice that the money remains unclaimed and that after a date stated in the notice, which must be at least thirty (30) days from the date of publication, any unclaimed balance of the money then remaining will be paid to the Issuer.  The Indenture Trustee will also use other reasonable means to notify Noteholders of unclaimed payments.

thereunder or official interpretations thereof (“FATCA Withholding Tax”), provided such parties have obtained the requisite information about the Noteholders; (ii) the Noteholders are required to provide information sufficient to eliminate the imposition of, or determine the amount of, FATCA Withholding Tax (the “FATCA Information”) to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, (iii) the Issuer shall comply with all requirements of the Code with respect to the withholding from any payment made by it on any Note of any applicable FATCA Withholding Tax imposed thereon and with respect to any applicable reporting requirement in connection therewith; and (iv) to the extent the Issuer determines that FATCA Withholding Tax is applicable, it will promptly notify the Note Paying Agent of such fact.  To the extent the Issuer has the Noteholders’ information, the Issuer will provide the FATCA Information to the Indenture Trustee, the Note Registrar and the Note Paying Agent upon request.

Section 3.6      Performance of Obligations.

(a)      Performance of Obligations.  The Issuer will perform all of its obligations under the Transaction Documents and documents included in the Collateral in all material respects.  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 Collateral 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 expressly provided in or permitted under this Indenture, the other Transaction Documents, the Servicing Procedures or such other instrument or agreement.

(d)      Cap Agreement.  Promptly following the termination of the Cap Agreement due to an “Event of Default” or “Termination Event” (as each such term is defined in the Cap Agreement), the Issuer will use reasonable efforts to enter into a replacement cap agreement on

terms similar to those of the terminated Cap Agreement with an Eligible Replacement Cap Counterparty unless the Indenture Trustee sells the Collateral pursuant to Section 5.6(a)(ii).

Section 3.17      Issuer’s Representations and Warranties.  The Issuer represents and warrants to the Indenture Trustee as of the Closing Date and each Acquisition Date:

(a)      Organization and Qualification.  The Issuer is duly formed and validly existing as a statutory trust in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware.

(b)      Power, Authority and Enforceability.  The Issuer has the power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents to which it is a party.  The Issuer has authorized the execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party.  The Transaction Documents to which it is a party are the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Issuer enforceable against the Issuer, except as may be limited by insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other laws relating to the enforcement of creditors’ rights or by general equitable principles.

(c)      No Conflicts and No Violation.  The completion of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents to which it is a party and the performance of its obligations under such documents will not (i) conflict with, or be a material breach or material default under any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, guarantee or similar document under which the Issuer is a debtor or guarantor, (ii) result in the creation or imposition of a Lien on the Issuer’s properties or assets under the terms of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, guarantee or similar document (other than this Indenture), (iii) violate the Trust Agreement or (iv) violate a Law or, to the Issuer’s knowledge, an order, rule or regulation of a federal or State court, regulatory body, administrative agency or other governmental instrumentality having jurisdiction over the Issuer or its properties that applies to the Issuer, which, in each case of clauses (i) through (iv), would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(d)      No Proceedings.  To the Issuer’s knowledge, there are no proceedings or investigations pending or threatened in writing before a federal or State court, regulatory body, administrative agency or other governmental instrumentality having jurisdiction over the Issuer or its properties (i) asserting the invalidity of the Transaction Documents or the Notes, (ii) seeking to prevent the issuance of the Notes or the completion of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, (iii) seeking any determination or ruling that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or would materially adversely impact the validity or enforceability of the Notes or (iv) relating to the Issuer that would reasonably be expected to

(A) affect the treatment of the Notes as indebtedness for purposes of U.S. federal and State income tax, franchise tax, and any other tax imposed on or measured in whole or in part by income, (B) be deemed to cause a taxable exchange of the Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes or (C) cause the Issuer to be treated as an association or publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, in each case, other than any proceedings that, to the Issuer’s knowledge, would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Issuer, the performance by the Issuer of its obligations under, or the validity and enforceability of, the Transaction Documents or the Notes or the tax treatment of the Issuer or the Notes.

(e)      No Investment Company.  The Issuer is not an “investment company” as defined in the Investment Company Act.  In making this determination, the Issuer is relying on the definition in Section 3(c)(5)(A) of the Investment Company Act, although other exclusions or exemptions may also be available to the Issuer.

(f)      ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Rule.  The Issuer is structured not to be a “covered fund” under the regulations adopted to implement Section 619 of the ▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, commonly known as the “▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Rule.”

Section 3.18      Issuer’s Representations and Warranties About Security Interest.  The Issuer represents and warrants to the Indenture Trustee as of the Closing Date and each Acquisition Date, which representations and warranties will survive the termination of this Indenture and may not be waived by the Indenture Trustee:

(a)      Valid Security Interest.  This Indenture creates a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the applicable UCC) in the Collateral in favor of the Indenture Trustee which is prior to all other Liens, other than Permitted Liens, and is enforceable against creditors of, purchasers from and transferees and absolute assignees of the Issuer.

(b)      Type.  The Receivables are either “accounts” or “payment intangibles” within the meaning of the applicable UCC.

(c)      Good Title.  The Issuer owns and has good title to the Collateral free and clear of any Lien, other than Permitted Liens.  The Issuer has received all consents and approvals required by the terms of the Collateral to Grant to the Indenture Trustee all of its right, title and interest in the Collateral, except if a requirement for consent or approval is extinguished under the applicable UCC.

(d)      Filing Financing Statements.  The Issuer has caused, or will cause within ten (10) days after the Closing Date, the filing of all appropriate financing statements in the proper filing office in the appropriate jurisdictions under applicable law to perfect the security interest Granted in the Collateral to the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture.  All financing statements filed or to be filed against the Issuer in favor of the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture describing the Collateral will contain a statement to the following effect: “A purchase, absolute assignment or transfer of or grant of a security interest in any collateral described in this financing statement will violate the rights of the Secured Parties.”

(e)      No Other Sale, Grant or Financing Statements.  Other than the security interest Granted to the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture, the Issuer has not sold or Granted a security interest in any of the Collateral.  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 any of the Collateral, other than financing statements relating to the security interest Granted to the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture.  The Issuer is not aware of any judgment or tax Lien filings against it.

(f)      Securities Account.  All Permitted Investments have been and will be credited to a Securities Account.  The Securities Intermediary for each Securities Account has agreed to treat all assets credited to the Securities Accounts as “financial assets” within the meaning of the applicable UCC.

(g)      Securities Intermediary Agreement.  The Issuer has delivered to the Indenture Trustee a fully executed Account Control Agreement (1) that provides that the agreement is governed solely by the law of the State of New York and that the law of the State of New York shall govern all issues specified in Article 2(1) of the Hague Securities Convention, (2) pursuant to which the Securities Intermediary has agreed to comply with all instructions originated by the Indenture Trustee relating to the Securities Accounts without further consent by the Issuer, and (3) with a Securities Intermediary that at the time of this Indenture has one or more offices (within the meaning of the Hague Securities Convention) in the United States of America which satisfies the “qualifying office” condition provided in the second sentence of Article 4(1) of the Hague Securities Convention.

(h)      Name of Securities Accounts.  The Securities Accounts are not in the name of a Person other than the Issuer or the Note Paying Agent.  The Issuer has not consented to the Securities Intermediary of a Securities Account complying with entitlement orders of a Person other than the Indenture Trustee.

(ii)       the Issuer fails to pay the principal of or any Make-Whole Payments on a Note on the applicable Final Maturity Date;

(iii)      the Issuer fails to observe or perform a material covenant or agreement of the Issuer in this Indenture (other than to pay interest on or principal of the Notes), or a representation or warranty of the Issuer made in this Indenture or in an Officer’s Certificate or other document delivered under this Indenture is incorrect in any material respect when made, and in each case, the failure or error continues for at least sixty (60) days after the Issuer receives written notice from the Indenture Trustee (upon receipt of written notice or actual knowledge thereof by a Responsible Person of the Indenture Trustee), or the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee receive written notice from the Noteholders of at least 25% of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class, in each case, stating the failure or error, requiring it to be corrected and stating that the notice is a “Notice of Default”; or

(iv)      an Insolvency Event of the Issuer occurs.

(b)      Issuer to Notify.  In addition to the Issuer’s notification obligations set forth in Section 3.15, the Issuer will notify the Indenture Trustee within five (5) Business Days after a Responsible Person of the Issuer has knowledge of the occurrence of a Default under Section 5.1(a)(iii), which notice will describe the Default, the status of the Default and what action the Issuer is taking to correct the Default.  The Issuer will deliver a copy of the notice to each Qualified Institution (if not the Indenture Trustee) maintaining a Bank Account.

(c)      Indenture Trustee to Notify.  In addition to the notice obligations of the Indenture Trustee under Section 6.5(a), the Indenture Trustee will notify the Noteholders within five (5) Business Days after a Responsible Person of the Indenture Trustee has actual knowledge of the occurrence of an Event of Default.

(b)      Rescission of Acceleration.  The Noteholders of a majority of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class, by notifying the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, may rescind a declaration of acceleration before a judgment or decree for payment of the amount due has been obtained by the Indenture Trustee as stated in this Article V if:

(i)      the Issuer has paid or deposited with the Indenture Trustee an amount sufficient to (A) pay the due and unpaid principal of and interest on the Notes and all other amounts that would then be due under this Indenture or on the Notes if the Event of Default giving rise to the acceleration had not occurred, (B) pay all amounts owed to the Indenture Trustee under Section 6.7 and (C) pay all other outstanding fees and expenses of the Issuer; and

Section 5.3      Collection of Indebtedness by Indenture Trustee.

(a)      Overdue Amounts.  If an Event of Default under Section 5.1(a)(i) or (ii) occurs and is continuing, the Issuer, on demand of the Indenture Trustee, will pay to the Note Paying

(c)      Proceedings.  If the Issuer fails to pay those amounts and the collection costs set forth in Section 5.3(b) on demand, the Indenture Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may start a Proceeding to collect the money due and unpaid, and may pursue the Proceeding to final judgment, and may enforce the judgment against the Issuer and collect the money due and unpaid in the manner provided by law out of the Collateral.

Section 5.4      Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

(a)      Proofs of Claim.  If there is a Proceeding involving the Issuer under the Bankruptcy Code or another bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, or in case a trustee, liquidator, receiver or similar official has been appointed for or taken possession of the Issuer or its property, the Indenture Trustee may:

(i)      file a proof of claim for the due and unpaid principal of and interest on the Notes and file other proofs of claim (including any claims for compensation or indemnification under Section 6.7) or documents necessary or advisable to have the claims of the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Secured Parties allowed in the Proceedings or in other judicial proceedings involving the Issuer, its creditors and its property;

(ii)     unless prohibited by applicable Law, vote on behalf of the Secured Parties in the election of a trustee, a standby trustee or a Person performing similar functions in the Proceedings; and

(iii)    collect and receive any money or other property payable or deliverable on the claims and pay all amounts received on the claims of the Secured Parties, including the claims asserted by the Indenture Trustee on their behalf.

(b)      Authorization by Noteholders.  Each Noteholder authorizes a trustee, liquidator, receiver or similar official in a Proceeding to make payments to the Indenture Trustee and, if the Indenture Trustee consents to make payments directly to the Noteholders, to pay to the Indenture Trustee the amounts owed to the Indenture Trustee under Section 6.7.

(c)      No Right to Consent or Vote.  Except as permitted under Section 5.4(a)(ii), this Indenture (i) does not authorize the Indenture Trustee to authorize or consent to or vote for or accept or adopt on behalf of a Noteholder a plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes and (ii) does not limit the rights of a Noteholder to authorize the Indenture Trustee to vote on the claim of a Noteholder in the Proceeding.

(a)      Standard of Care.  If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee will exercise the rights and powers vested in it under this Indenture using the same degree of care and skill as a prudent person would use under the circumstances in the conduct of that person’s own affairs.

(b)      Obligations; Reliance.  Except during the continuance of an Event of Default:

(i)      the Indenture Trustee agrees to perform the duties and only such duties as specifically stated in this Indenture and no implied covenants, duties (including fiduciary duties) or obligations are to be read into this Indenture against the Indenture Trustee; and

(ii)      in the absence of willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence on its part, the Indenture Trustee may conclusively rely, for the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions furnished to it, on certificates or opinions furnished to it and, if required by this Indenture, conforming to the requirements of this Indenture.  The Indenture Trustee will examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform as to form to the requirements (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts therein), if any, of this Indenture.

(c)      Indenture Trustee Liable.  The Indenture Trustee will not be relieved from liability for its own willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence, except that:

(i)      this Section 6.1(c) does not limit the effect of Section 6.1(b);

(ii)      the Indenture Trustee will not be liable for an error of judgment made in good faith unless it is proved that the Indenture Trustee was negligent in determining the relevant facts;

(iii)      the Indenture Trustee will not be liable for any action taken or not taken in good faith according to this Indenture or the Transfer and Servicing Agreement or a direction received by it from the Noteholders in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture or the Transfer and Servicing Agreement; and

(iv)      the Indenture Trustee will not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in good faith in the administration of any Noteholder or Verified Note Owner vote about whether to direct the Asset Representations Reviewer to conduct an Asset Representations Review so long as the administration of such vote conforms in all material respects to the Indenture Trustee’s standard internal vote solicitation process.

(d)      Not Liable for Interest.  The Indenture Trustee will not be liable for interest on money received by it, except as the Indenture Trustee may agree in writing with the Issuer.

(h)      Action upon Notice of Breach.  Upon the actual knowledge of or receipt of written notice by a Responsible Person of the Indenture Trustee of a material breach of an Originator’s Eligibility Representation made in Section 3.3 of the Originator Receivables Transfer Agreement, a material breach of the Servicer’s Eligibility Representation made in Section 3.3 of the Master Trust Receivables Transfer Agreement, or any other specified breach by the Servicer under the Transfer and Servicing Agreement, the Indenture Trustee’s sole obligations are to (i) make a demand upon the applicable Originator (or to cause the Depositor to make a demand upon the applicable Originator) to reacquire the Receivable under Section 3.4 of the Originator Receivables Transfer Agreement or upon the Servicer to acquire the Receivable under Section 3.4 of the Master Trust Receivables Transfer Agreement or Section 3.3 of the Transfer and Servicing Agreement, as applicable and (ii) to the extent amounts due under clause (i) are not remitted by the applicable Originator or the Servicer, to promptly provide written notice to the Parent Support Provider of the failure by such party to remit such Acquisition Amount.  Unless the Indenture Trustee receives written direction and indemnity satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee from a majority of the Controlling Class of the Notes specifying any additional step, including but not limited to commencing litigation, that the Indenture Trustee should take, the Indenture Trustee shall have no duty or obligation to take any further action to investigate or enforce remedies for breaches of representations and warranties.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture, the Indenture Trustee will not be required to take any action if the Indenture Trustee reasonably determines that such action (x) will not be in the best interests of the Noteholders or (y) will be contrary to applicable Law.  The permissive right of the Indenture Trustee to take any action under the Transaction Documents shall not be construed as a duty to take such action.

Section 14.2      Noteholder and Note Owner Vote on Asset Representations Review.  Beginning promptly after receipt from the Administrator of a copy of a notice sent to Noteholders and Note Owners pursuant to Section 2.9(a)(ii) of the Administration Agreement, the Indenture Trustee shall cause the initiation of such a review to be submitted to a yes or no vote of the Noteholders (with respect to Book-Entry Notes, as directed by the related Note Owners via the applicable Clearing Agency pursuant to its procedures for such votes) of record as of the most recent Record Date.  Any Noteholder vote about whether to direct the Asset Representations Reviewer to conduct an Asset Representations Review shall be conducted by the Indenture Trustee in accordance with its standard internal vote solicitation process.  The

Indenture Trustee may select a vote agent that is experienced in the administration of Noteholder votes and/or consent solicitations to conduct and administer any Noteholder vote about whether to direct the Asset Representations Reviewer to conduct an Asset Representations Review and, so long as the Indenture Trustee selects such vote agent with due care, the Indenture Trustee will not be liable for any actions or inactions of such vote agent. If, by no earlier than the deadline specified by the Administrator pursuant to Section 2.9(a)(ii) of the Administration Agreement, a majority of the Noteholders casting a vote so direct (provided that such affirmative votes represent votes by Noteholders holding at least 5% of the aggregate Note Balance), the Indenture Trustee will promptly notify the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Administrator and the Servicer that the requisite Noteholders have directed the Asset Representations Reviewer to perform a review of the 60-Day Delinquent Receivables for the purpose of determining whether such 60-Day Delinquent Receivables were in compliance with the Eligibility Representation made by the applicable Originator pursuant to Section 3.3 of the Originator Receivables Transfer Agreement or by the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.3 of the Master Trust Receivables Transfer Agreement.

Section 14.3      Evaluation of Review Report.  If a Noteholder or a Verified Note Owner notifies the Indenture Trustee in writing that it considers any non-compliance of any representation to be a breach of the applicable Receivables Transfer Agreement, or requests in writing that any Receivable be reacquired or acquired, as applicable (including, for the avoidance of doubt, as described in Section 11.2 of the Transfer and Servicing Agreement), the Indenture Trustee will forward, as soon as practicable and within five (5) Business Days, that written notice to the Administrator and the related Originator or the Servicer (in the case of Receivables transferred by the Master Trust).  In addition, the Indenture Trustee, on behalf of the Requesting Party may, but is not obligated to, request the reacquisition or acquisition, as applicable, of a 60-Day Delinquent Receivable on behalf of all Noteholders.  Subject to the provisions for indemnification and certain limitations contained in this Indenture, the Indenture Trustee (acting at the direction of Noteholders evidencing at least a majority of the aggregate Note Balance of the Controlling Class of Notes, acting together as a single Class) shall, in the time, method and place directed by such Noteholders, exercise any trust or power conferred on the Indenture Trustee, including the ability to assert to the Administrator and the related Originator or the Servicer (in the case of Receivables transferred by the Master Trust), on behalf of all Noteholders, whether any such non-compliance may be a breach and to request the reacquisition or acquisition, as applicable, of the related 60-Day Delinquent Receivable.  The Indenture Trustee shall have no duty or obligation to determine whether any noncompliance with representations or warranties constitute a breach under the Transaction Documents or to make any determination as to the materiality of any breach.

The related Originator or the Servicer (in the case of Receivables transferred by the Master Trust) will have the sole ability to determine if there was non-compliance with the Eligibility Representation made by it that constitutes a breach, and whether to reacquire or acquire, as applicable, the related 60-Day Delinquent Receivable from the Issuer.

The Issuer will pay interest on this Note at the rate per annum shown above on each Payment Date until the principal of this Note is paid or made available for payment, on the Note Balance of this Note outstanding on the Payment Date immediately preceding such Payment Date (in each case, after giving effect to payments of principal made on the Payment Date immediately preceding such Payment Date), subject to limitations in Section 3.1 of the Indenture[Class A-1b only:, and provided that, if the sum of One-Month LIBOR plus [__]% is less than 0.00% for any Interest Period, then the per annum rate at which interest will accrue on this Class A-1b Note for such Interest Period will be 0.00%].  [Class A-1a, Class B and Class C only:][Interest on this Note will accrue for each Payment Date from and including the 20th day of the calendar month immediately preceding such Payment Date to but excluding the 20th day of the calendar month in which such Payment Date occurs (or, for the initial Payment Date, from and including the Closing Date to but excluding March 20, 2020).  Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30 day months.][Class A-1b only:][Interest on this Note will accrue for each Payment Date from and including the Payment Date immediately preceding the current Payment Date to but excluding the current Payment Date (or, for the initial Payment Date, from and including the Closing Date to but excluding March 20, 2020).  Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed in the related Interest Period.]

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Class [A-1a][A-1b][B][C] [One-Month LIBOR +] [___%] Asset Backed Notes (the “Class [A-1a][A-1b][B][C] Notes”) of the Issuer.  Also authorized under the Indenture are the Class [A-1a][A-1b][B][C] Notes.  The Indenture and indentures supplemental to the Indenture state the respective rights and obligations of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders.  The Notes are subject to the Indenture.

The Notes may be redeemed, in whole but not in part, in the manner and to the extent described in the Indenture and the Transfer and Servicing Agreement.

The transfer of this Note is subject to the restrictions on transfer stated on the face of this Note and to the other limitations in the Indenture.  Subject to the satisfaction of those restrictions and limitations, the transfer of this Note may be registered on the Note Register on surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency designated by the Issuer under the Indenture, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee duly executed by, the Noteholder of this Note or its attorney-in-fact, with the signature guaranteed by an “eligible guarantor institution” meeting the requirements of the Note Registrar, and then one or more new Notes of the same Class in 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 the registration of transfer or exchange of this Note, but the transferor may be required to pay an amount to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed under any registration of transfer or exchange.

Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by accepting a Note or, for a Note Owner, an interest or participation in a Note, agrees that no recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, for the obligations of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee on the Notes or under the Indenture or a certificate or other writing delivered for the Notes and the Indenture, against (i) the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee, each in its individual capacity, (ii) any holder of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, (iii) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer, director, employee or agent of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee, each in its individual capacity or (iv) any holder of a beneficial interest in the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee, each in its individual capacity.

The obligations of the Issuer under the Indenture are solely the obligations of the Issuer and do not represent an obligation or interest in any assets of the Depositor other than the Depositor Transferred Property conveyed to the Issuer under the Transfer and Servicing Agreement.  Each Noteholder and Note Owner, by its acceptance of a Note or an interest or participation in a Note, acknowledges and agrees that it has no right, title or interest in or to any Other Assets of the Depositor.  If the Noteholder or Note Owner either (i) asserts an interest or claim to, or benefit from, Other Assets or (ii) is deemed to have any interest, claim to or benefit in or from Other Assets, whether by operation of law, legal process, under insolvency laws or otherwise (including by virtue of Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code), then the Noteholder or Note Owner further acknowledges and agrees that any interest, claim or benefit in or from Other Assets is and will be expressly subordinated to the indefeasible payment in full of the other obligations and liabilities, which, under the relevant documents relating to the securitization or conveyance of those Other Assets, are entitled to be paid from, entitled to the benefits of, or secured by those Other Assets (whether or not any entitlement or security interest is legally perfected or otherwise entitled to a priority of distributions or application under applicable law, including insolvency laws, and whether or not asserted against the Depositor), including the payment of post-petition interest on the other obligations and liabilities.  THIS PARAGRAPH IS A SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT WITHIN THE MEANING OF SECTION 510(a) OF THE BANKRUPTCY CODE.

Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by accepting a Note or, for a Note Owner, an interest or participation in a Note, agrees that, before the date that is one year and one day (or, if longer, any applicable preference period) after the payment in full of (a) all securities issued by the

Depositor or by a trust for which the Depositor was a depositor and (b) the Notes, it will not start or pursue against (i) the Depositor or (ii) the Issuer, respectively, or join any other Person in starting or pursuing against the Depositor or the Issuer of, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings or other proceedings under any bankruptcy or similar law.

The Issuer has entered into the Indenture, and this Note is issued with the intention that, for purposes of U.S. federal, State and local income tax, franchise tax, and any other tax imposed on or measured in whole or in party by income, Notes will qualify as indebtedness of the Issuer secured by the Collateral.  Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by its acceptance of a Note or an interest or participation in a Note, will be deemed to agree to treat the Notes as indebtedness for purposes of U.S. federal, State and local income tax, franchise tax and any other tax imposed on or measured in whole or in part by income and the Issuer as a mere security device formed to hold the Receivables and issue Notes and Certificates.

For any date, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered as of that date as the owner of this Note for the purpose of receiving payments of principal of and any interest on the Note and for all other purposes, without regard to any notice or other information to the contrary.

The Indenture permits, with some exceptions requiring the consent of all adversely affected Noteholders under the Indenture, the amendment of the Indenture and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Issuer and the rights of the Noteholders under the Indenture by the Issuer with the consent of the Noteholders of Notes evidencing not less than a majority of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class.  The Indenture also permits the Indenture Trustee to amend or waive some terms and conditions in the Indenture without the consent of the Noteholders if some conditions are satisfied.  In addition, the Indenture contains terms permitting the Noteholders of Notes evidencing stated percentages of the Note Balance of the Notes or of the Controlling Class, on behalf of all Noteholders, to waive compliance by the Issuer with some terms of the Indenture and some defaults under the Indenture and their consequences.  Any consent or waiver by the Noteholder of this Note will be conclusive and bind the Noteholder and all future Noteholders of this Note and of any Note issued on the registration of transfer of this Note or in exchange of this Note or in place of this Note whether or not notation of the consent or waiver is made on this Note.

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 some circumstances, to merge or consolidate, subject to the rights of the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders under the Indenture.

The Notes are issuable only in registered form in denominations as stated in the Indenture, subject to some limitations in the Indenture.

THIS NOTE AND THE INDENTURE, INCLUDING THE RIGHTS AND DUTIES OF THE PARTIES HERETO, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (INCLUDING SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, BUT WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY OTHER CONFLICTS OF LAW PROVISIONS THEREOF).

No reference in this Note to the Indenture, and no terms of this Note or of the Indenture, will 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 time, place and rate, and in the coin or currency prescribed in this Note.

Except as permitted under the Transaction Documents, none of U.S. Bank National Association, in its individual capacity, Wilmington Trust, National Association, in its individual capacity, any owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, or their respective partners, beneficiaries, agents, officers, directors, employees or successors or assigns will be personally liable for, nor will recourse be had to any of them for, the payment of principal of or interest on this Note or performance of, or omission to perform, any of the covenants, obligations or indemnifications in the Indenture.  The Noteholder of this Note, by its acceptance of this Note, agrees that, except as permitted in the Transaction Documents, for an Event of Default under the Indenture, the Noteholder has no claim against those Persons for any deficiency, loss or claim from this Note.  However, nothing in this Note will be taken to prevent recourse to, and enforcement against, the assets of the Issuer for liabilities, obligations and undertakings in the Indenture or in this Note.

Unless the certificate of authentication on this Note has been executed by the Indenture Trustee whose name appears below by manual signature, this Note will not have the benefit of the Indenture, or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.
