The terms of the Notes set forth in Exhibit A hereto are part of the terms of this Indenture.
Section 2.02
Execution, Authentication and Delivery. The Notes shall be executed by the Owner Trustee on behalf of the
Issuer. The signature of any authorized officer of the Owner Trustee on the Notes may be manual or by facsimile. Notes bearing the manual or facsimile signature of individuals who were at any time authorized officers of the Owner Trustee shall bind
the Issuer, notwithstanding that any such individuals have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Notes or did not hold such offices at the date of such Notes.
The Indenture Trustee shall, upon Issuer Order, authenticate and deliver for original issue the following aggregate principal amounts of the Notes: (i) $249,600,000 of
Class A-1 Notes, (ii) $490,200,000 of Class A-2a Notes, (iii) $90,000,000 of Class A-2b Notes, (iv) $580,200,000 of Class A-3 Notes and (v) $90,000,000 of Class A-4 Notes. The aggregate principal amount of

such Note has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder.
Section 2.03
Temporary Notes. Pending the preparation of Definitive Notes, the Owner Trustee may execute, on behalf of the
Issuer, and upon receipt of an Issuer Order, the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Notes that are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, substantially 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 shall cause Definitive Notes to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of Definitive Notes, the
temporary Notes shall be exchangeable for Definitive Notes upon surrender of such temporary Notes at the office or agency of the Issuer to be maintained as provided in Section 3.02, without charge to the related Noteholder. Upon surrender for
cancellation of any one or more temporary Notes, the Owner Trustee shall execute, on behalf of the Issuer, and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor, a like principal amount of Definitive Notes of authorized
denominations. Until so exchanged, such temporary Notes shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as Definitive Notes.
Section 2.04
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 Indenture Trustee is hereby appointed the “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 Indenture Trustee is appointed by the Issuer as Note Registrar, the Issuer shall give the Indenture Trustee prompt written notice of such
appointment and the location, and any change in such location, of the Note Register, and the Indenture Trustee shall
have the right to inspect the Note Register at all reasonable times and to obtain copies thereof, and the Indenture Trustee shall have the right to rely upon a certificate executed on
behalf of the Note Registrar by an Executive Officer as to the names and addresses of the Noteholders and the principal amounts and number of such Notes until a replacement certificate is provided to it by the Note Registrar.
Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note at the office or agency of the Issuer to be maintained as provided in Section 3.02, if the requirements of
Section 8-401 of the UCC are met, the Owner Trustee shall execute, on behalf of the Issuer, and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and the related Noteholder shall obtain from the Indenture Trustee, in the name of the designated transferee, one
or more new Notes in any authorized denominations, of a like aggregate principal amount.
At the option of the related Noteholder, Notes may be exchanged for other Notes in any authorized denominations, of a like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender
of such Notes at such office or agency. Whenever any Notes are so surrendered for exchange, if the requirements of Section 8-401 of the UCC are met, the Owner Trustee shall execute, on behalf of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate
and the Noteholder shall obtain from the Indenture Trustee the Notes that the Noteholder making such exchange is entitled to receive.
Every Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall (if so required by the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee) be duly endorsed, or be
accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form and substance satisfactory to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, duly executed by the Noteholder thereof or its attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing.
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.
No service charge shall be made to a Noteholder for any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover
any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith, other than exchanges pursuant to Sections 2.03 or 9.05 not involving any transfer.
No Note, or any interest therein, may be transferred to
an “employee benefit plan” within the meaning of Section 3(3) of ERISA that is
subject to ERISA, a “plan” described in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code that is subject to Section 4975 of the Code, any entity that is deemed to hold “plan assets” of any of the foregoing by reason of an employee benefit plan’s or other plan’s
investment in such entity (or a person investing “plan assets” of any such plan or entity), or any governmental, church or non-U.S. plan subject to applicable law that is substantially similar to the provisions of Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of
the Code (“
Similar Law”) (each such plan, a “
Plan”), unless such transferee represents, warrants and covenants that its acquisition, holding and disposition of such note will not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited
transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or a violation of any Similar Law. By its acquisition of a Note in book-entry form or any interest therein, each transferee will be deemed to have represented, warranted and
covenanted that it satisfies the
foregoing requirements and the Indenture Trustee may rely conclusively on the same for purposes hereof.
The preceding provisions of this Section notwithstanding, the Issuer shall not be required to make, and the Note Registrar need not register, transfers or exchanges of
any Note (i) selected for redemption or (ii) for a period of 15 days preceding the due date for any payment with respect to such Note.
All transfers or assignments of any Note or any interest in any Note shall be recorded in the Note Register.
Section 2.05
Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes. If (i) any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Indenture Trustee,
or the Indenture Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note and (ii) there is delivered to the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer such security or indemnity as may be required by it to hold the Issuer
and the Indenture Trustee harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Issuer, the Note Registrar or a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee that such Note has been acquired by a “protected purchaser” (as contemplated by Article Eight of
the UCC), and provided that the requirements of Section 8-405 of the UCC are met, the Owner Trustee shall execute, on behalf of the Issuer, and upon Issuer Request the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of
any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a replacement Note; provided, however, that if any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note (but not a mutilated Note) shall have become or within seven days shall become due and payable, or shall have
been called for redemption, instead of issuing a replacement Note, the Issuer may pay such destroyed, lost or stolen Note when so due or payable or upon the Redemption Date without the surrender thereof. If, after the delivery of such replacement
Note or payment of a destroyed, lost or stolen Note pursuant to the proviso to the preceding sentence, a “protected purchaser” (as contemplated by Article Eight of the UCC) of the original Note in lieu of which such replacement Note was issued
presents for payment such original Note, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to recover such replacement Note (or such payment) from the Person to whom it was delivered or any Person taking such replacement Note from such Person to
whom such replacement Note was delivered or any assignee of such Person, except a “protected purchaser” (as contemplated by Article Eight of the UCC), 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 Indenture Trustee in connection therewith.
Upon the issuance of any replacement Note under this Section, the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee may require the payment by the related Noteholder 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 Indenture Trustee or the Note Registrar) connected therewith.
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 2.06
Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of any Note, the Issuer, the
Indenture Trustee and their respective agents may treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered (as of the date of determination) 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 neither the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee nor any of their respective agents shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
Section 2.07
Cancellation. All Notes surrendered for payment, registration of transfer, exchange or redemption shall, if
surrendered to any Person other than the Indenture Trustee, be delivered to the Indenture Trustee and shall be promptly cancelled by the Indenture Trustee. The Issuer may at any time deliver to the Indenture Trustee for cancellation any Notes
previously authenticated and delivered hereunder that the Issuer may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Notes so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Indenture Trustee. No Notes shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange
for any Notes cancelled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All cancelled Notes may be held or disposed of by the Indenture Trustee in accordance with its standard retention or disposal policy as in effect
at the time unless the Issuer shall direct by an Issuer Order that they be destroyed or returned to it; provided, that such Issuer Order is timely and that such Notes have not been previously disposed of by the Indenture Trustee.

each $500 million in principal amount of each Class of Notes or such lesser amount as necessary. Such Notes shall initially be registered on the Note Register in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee of the initial Clearing Agency, and no Note
Owner shall receive a Definitive Note representing such Note Owner’s interest in such Note except as provided in Section 2.11. Unless and until Definitive Notes have been issued to Note Owners pursuant to Section 2.11:

Clearing Agency Participants and receive and transmit payments of principal of and interest on the Notes to such Clearing Agency Participants; and
(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, 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 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 Indenture Trustee.
Section 2.10

shall have no obligation to the Note Owners.

is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities as described in the Depository Agreement and (B) none of the Indenture Trustee, the Transferor or the Administrator is able to locate a qualified successor, (ii) the
Administrator at its option, with the consent of the applicable Clearing Agency Participants, advises the Indenture Trustee in writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry system through the Clearing Agency or (iii) after an Indenture Default,
Note Owners representing in the aggregate not less than 51% of the Outstanding Amount advise the Indenture Trustee through the Clearing Agency and its Participants in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system through the Clearing Agency or
its successor is no longer in the best interest of Note Owners, the Indenture Trustee shall be required to notify all Note Owners, through the Clearing Agency, of the occurrence of such event and the availability through the Clearing Agency of

shall issue Definitive Notes to Note Owners, who thereupon shall become Noteholders for all purposes of this Indenture. None of the Owner Trustee, the Note Registrar or the Indenture Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such
instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions.
The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable if the Indenture Trustee or the Administrator is unable to locate a qualified successor Clearing Agency. The Definitive
Notes shall be typewritten, printed, lithographed or engraved or produced by any combination of such methods
(with or without steel engraved borders), all as determined by the officers executing such Notes, as evidenced by their execution of such Notes.

list of the names and addresses of the Noteholders (i) as of each Record Date, within five days thereafter and (ii) as of not more than ten days prior to the time such list is furnished, within 30 days after receipt by the Owner Trustee of a written

2.04, 2.05 and 9.05, as fully to all intents and purposes as though each such Authenticating Agent had been expressly authorized by such Sections to authenticate such Notes. For all purposes of this Indenture, the authentication of Notes by an
Authenticating Agent pursuant to this Section shall be deemed to be the authentication of Notes by the Indenture Trustee.
Any corporation into which any Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger,
consolidation or conversion to which any Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate trust business of any Authenticating Agent, shall be the successor of such Authenticating Agent hereunder, without the
execution or filing of any further act on the part of the parties hereto or such Authenticating Agent or such successor corporation.
Any Authenticating Agent may at any time resign by giving written notice of resignation to the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer. The Indenture Trustee may at any time
terminate the agency of any Authenticating Agent by giving written notice of termination to such Authenticating Agent and the Issuer. Upon receiving such notice of resignation or upon such termination, the Indenture Trustee shall promptly appoint a
successor Authenticating Agent and shall give written notice of such appointment to the Issuer.
The Issuer agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its services and reimbursement for its reasonable expenses relating
thereto. The provisions of Sections 2.07 and 6.04 shall be applicable to any Authenticating Agent.

have no obligation to request such Tax Information or to determine what Tax Information is applicable for any Noteholder.

Section 3.01
Payment of Principal and Interest; Determination of SOFR; Benchmark Replacement.
(a) The Issuer will duly and punctually pay the principal of and interest, if any, on the Notes in accordance with the terms of the Notes and this Indenture.
Without limiting the foregoing, on each Payment Date and on any applicable distribution date pursuant to Section 8.04, the Issuer will cause to be distributed all amounts deposited pursuant to this Indenture, as applicable, into the Note Distribution
Account in accordance with the priorities and amounts set forth herein (i) for the benefit of the Class A-1 Notes, to the Class A-1 Noteholders, (ii) for the benefit of the Class A-2a Notes, to the Class A-2a Noteholders, (iii) for the benefit of the
Class A-2b Notes, to the Class A-2b Noteholders, (iv) for the benefit of the Class A-3 Notes, to the Class A-3 Noteholders and (v) for the benefit of the Class A-4 Notes, to the Class A-4 Noteholders. Amounts properly withheld under the Code by any

(b) So long as the Class A-2b Notes are Outstanding, the Paying Agent shall obtain SOFR in accordance with the definition of “SOFR Rate” on each SOFR Determination
Date and shall promptly provide such rate to the Administrator or such person as directed by the Administrator. The SOFR Rate obtained by the Paying Agent, in the absence of manifest error, will be conclusive and binding on the Noteholders.
(c) Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrator or any other Person in connection with any SOFR Adjustment Conforming Change or
any decision to take or refrain from taking any action in connection with the SOFR Rate, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error, may be made in the Administrator’s sole discretion, and will become effective without the consent of any
other person (including any Noteholder). The Noteholders, including the Class A-2b Noteholders, shall not have any right to approve or disapprove of these determinations or changes and each Noteholder shall be deemed by its acceptance of a Note to
waive and release any and all claims relating to any such determinations and changes. None of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Administrator, the Sponsor, the Vehicle Trustee, the Depositor or the Servicer
will have any liability for any action or inaction taken or refrained from being taken by it with respect to any SOFR Adjustment Conforming Changes or any other matters related to or arising in connection with the foregoing. Each Noteholder and Note
Owner, 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 Paying Agent, the Administrator, the Sponsor, the
Depositor, the Vehicle Trustee and the Servicer relating to any such determinations and changes.
(d) If the Administrator determines prior to the relevant Reference Time that a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred
prior to the determination of the then-current Benchmark, the Benchmark Replacement determined by the Administrator will replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes relating to the Class A-2b Notes in respect of such determination on such
date and all such determinations on all subsequent dates (unless and until a subsequent Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date occurs). The Administrator shall deliver written notice to each
Rating Agency, the Indenture Trustee and the Paying Agent on any SOFR Determination Date if, as of the applicable Reference Time, the Administrator has determined with respect to the
related Accrual Period that there will be a change in the SOFR Rate or the terms related thereto since the immediately preceding SOFR Determination Date due to a determination by the Administrator that a Benchmark Transition Event and its related
Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred. The Administrator shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to make SOFR Adjustment Conforming Changes and, in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, Benchmark Replacement
Conforming Changes, from time to time.
(e) All percentages resulting from any calculation on the Class A-2b Notes shall be rounded to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point, with
five-millionths of a percentage point rounded upwards (e.g., 9.8765445% (or 0.098765445) would be rounded to 9.87655% (or 0.0987655)), and all dollar amounts used in or resulting from that calculation on the Class A-2b Notes will be rounded to the
nearest cent (with one-half cent being rounded upwards).
(f) Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrator or any other Person in connection with a Benchmark Transition Event, a Benchmark
Replacement Conforming Change or a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this Section 3.01 (or pursuant to any capitalized term used in this Section 3.01 or in any such capitalized term), including, but not limited to, any determination with respect to
administrative feasibility (whether due to technical, administrative or operational issues), a tenor, rate, an 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, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error, may be made in the Administrator’s sole discretion and will become effective without the consent of any other Person (including any Noteholder). The Noteholders, including
the Class A-2b Noteholders, shall not have any right to approve or disapprove of these determinations or changes and shall be deemed by their acceptance of a Note to waive and release any and all claims relating to any such determinations and
changes. None of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Administrator, the Sponsor, the Vehicle Trustee, the UTI Beneficiary, the Depositor or the Servicer will have any liability for any action or inaction taken
or refrained from being taken by it with respect to any Benchmark, Benchmark Transition Event, Benchmark Replacement Date, Benchmark Replacement, Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement, Benchmark Replacement Adjustment, Benchmark Replacement Conforming
Changes or any other matters related to or arising in connection with the foregoing. Each Noteholder and beneficial owner of Notes, by its acceptance of a Note or a beneficial interest in a Note, will be deemed to waive and release any and all claims
against the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Administrator, the Sponsor, the Depositor, the UTI Beneficiary, the Vehicle Trustee and the Servicer relating to any such determinations and changes.

availability, unavailability or cessation of SOFR, or any other applicable Benchmark or whether or when there has occurred, or to give notice to any other transaction party of the occurrence of, any Benchmark Transition Event or Benchmark Replacement
Date, (ii) to select, determine or designate any Benchmark Replacement, or other successor or replacement benchmark index or whether any conditions to the designation of such a rate have been satisfied, (iii) to select,
determine or designate any Benchmark Replacement Adjustment, or Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement, or other modifier to any replacement or successor index, or (iv) to determine whether or
what SOFR Adjustment Conforming Changes or Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes are necessary or advisable, if any.
(h) None of the Indenture Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Owner Trustee or the Vehicle Trustee shall be liable for any inability, failure or delay on its part to

the terms of this Indenture and the other Basic Documents and reasonably required for the performance of such duties.

the Issuer in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served. The Issuer hereby appoints the Indenture Trustee as its agent to receive all such surrenders, notices and demands. The Issuer shall give prompt written notice to the Indenture
Trustee of the location, and of any change in the location, of any such office or agency. If at any time the Issuer shall fail to maintain any such office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Indenture Trustee with the address thereof, such

therefrom for payments of Notes shall be paid over to the Issuer except as provided in this Section.
On each Payment Date and Redemption Date, the Issuer shall deposit or cause to be deposited into the Note Distribution Account an aggregate sum sufficient to pay the

failure by the Issuer to effect such deposit.
The Issuer shall cause each Paying Agent other than the Indenture Trustee to execute and deliver to the Indenture Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent
shall agree with the Indenture Trustee (and if the Indenture Trustee acts as Paying Agent, it hereby so agrees to the extent relevant), subject to the provisions of this Section, that such Paying Agent shall:
(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 Indenture Trustee notice of any default by the Issuer of which it has actual knowledge (or any other obligor upon the Notes) in the making of any
payment required to be made with respect to the Notes;

held in trust by such Paying Agent;
(d) immediately resign as a Paying Agent and forthwith pay to the Indenture Trustee all sums held by it in trust for the payment of Notes if at any time it ceases
to meet the standards required to be met by a Paying Agent at the time of its appointment; and

Agent to pay to the Indenture Trustee all sums held in trust by such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Indenture Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which such sums were held by such Paying Agent; and upon such payment by any Paying
Agent to the Indenture Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money.
Subject to applicable laws with respect to escheat of funds, any money held by the Indenture Trustee or any Paying Agent in trust for the payment of any amount due
with respect to any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such amount has become due and payable shall be discharged from such trust and deposited by the Indenture Trustee into the 2026-1 SUBI Collection Account, and the related Noteholder
shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Issuer for payment thereof, and all liability of the Indenture
Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any
such repayment, may at the expense of the Issuer cause to be published once, in an Authorized Newspaper, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which date shall not be less than 30 days from the date of
such publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining shall be paid to the Administrator. The Indenture Trustee shall also adopt and employ, at the expense of the Issuer, any other reasonable means of notification of such repayment

Indenture Trustee or any Paying Agent at the last address of record for each such Noteholder).
Section 3.04

Noteholders, a first lien on and a first priority, perfected security interest in the Trust Estate. The Issuer shall from time to time execute and deliver all such supplements and amendments hereto and all such financing statements, continuation

Section 3.07
Performance of Obligations; Administration of the 2026-1 SUBI Assets.
(a) The Issuer shall not take any action and shall use its best efforts not to permit any action to be taken by others, including the Administrator, 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 expressly provided in 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 Indenture Trustee in an Officer’s Certificate of the Issuer shall be deemed to be action taken by the Issuer. Initially, the Issuer has contracted with the Administrator, and the Administrator has agreed, to assist the Issuer in
performing its duties under this Indenture.
(c) The Issuer shall, and, shall cause the Administrator and the Servicer to, punctually perform and observe all of its and their respective obligations and

by the terms of this Indenture and the other Basic Documents in accordance with and within the time periods provided for herein and therein. Except as otherwise expressly provided therein, the Issuer, as a party to the Basic Documents and as Holder
of the 2026-1 SUBI Certificate, shall not, and shall cause each of the Servicer and the Administrator not to, modify, amend, supplement, waive or terminate any Basic Document to which it is a party or any provision thereof without satisfying the
Rating Agency Condition and
satisfying each other condition as may be specified in the particular provision or Basic Document. Copies of any statements and certificates required to be provided to the Indenture
Trustee pursuant to the Servicing Agreement or any other Basic Document may be obtained by Securityholders by a request in writing addressed to the Indenture Trustee.
(d) If the Issuer or a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee shall have actual knowledge of the occurrence and continuation of a Servicer Default, such
entity shall promptly notify the other entity and the Administrator thereof, and shall specify in such notice the action, if any, the other entity is taking in respect of such default. If a Servicer Default shall arise from the failure of the
Servicer to perform any of its duties or obligations under the Servicing Agreement with respect to the 2026-1 SUBI Assets, the Issuer shall take all reasonable steps available to it to remedy such failure. Upon the occurrence and continuation of a
Servicer Default with respect to the 2026-1 SUBI, the Indenture Trustee may (and at the written direction of Noteholders holding not less than 66 ⅔% of the Outstanding Amount shall) terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer with
respect to the 2026-1 SUBI only, and a successor Servicer shall be appointed pursuant to the Servicing Agreement.
(e) Upon any termination of the Servicer’s rights and powers or resignation of the Servicer pursuant to the Servicing Agreement, the Issuer or the Indenture
Trustee shall promptly, but in any event within two Business Days of such termination or resignation, notify the other entity thereof. As soon as a successor Servicer is appointed pursuant to the Servicing Agreement, the Issuer or the Indenture
Trustee shall notify the other entity of such appointment, specifying in such notice the name and address of such successor Servicer.

liens that arise by operation of law, in each case on any 2026-1 SUBI Asset and arising solely as a result of an action or omission of the related Lessee) or (iii) except as otherwise provided in the Basic
Documents, permit the lien of this Indenture not to constitute a valid first priority (other than with respect to any such tax, mechanics’ or other lien) security interest in the Trust
Estate;

similar official of the Issuer or for any substantial part of the Trust Estate, the making by the Issuer of any general assignment for the benefit of creditors, the failure by the Issuer generally to pay its debts as such debts become due or the
taking of action by the Issuer in furtherance of any of the foregoing.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a delay in or failure of performance referred to under clause (a) for a period of 45 days, under clause (b) for a period of 60 days or under clause (c) for
a period of 120 days, will not constitute an Indenture Default if that failure or delay was caused by a Force Majeure.
The Issuer shall promptly deliver to the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Vehicle Trustee, each Noteholder, and with respect to each Rating Agency shall make
available, written notice in the form of an Officer’s Certificate of any Indenture Default, its status and what action the Issuer is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.
Subject to the provisions herein relating to the duties of the Indenture Trustee, if an Indenture Default occurs and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee shall be
under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers under this Indenture at the request or direction of any Noteholder, if the Indenture Trustee reasonably believes that it will not be adequately indemnified against the costs, expenses and
liabilities that might be incurred by it in complying with such request. Subject to such provisions for indemnification and certain limitations contained herein, Noteholders holding not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount shall have the
right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding or any remedy available to the Indenture Trustee or exercising any trust power conferred on the Indenture Trustee, and Noteholders holding not less than a majority of the
Outstanding Amount may, in certain cases, waive any default with respect thereto, except a default in the payment of principal or interest or a default in respect of a covenant or provision of the Indenture that cannot be modified without the waiver
or consent of all of the Noteholders of the Outstanding Notes.
Section 5.02
Acceleration of Maturity; Waiver of Indenture Default. If an Indenture Default should occur and be continuing,
the Indenture Trustee may (and, at the written direction of the Noteholders holding not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes,
shall) declare the principal of the Notes to be immediately due and payable. Upon such declaration, the Indenture Trustee shall promptly provide written notice to the Administrator.
Such declaration may be rescinded by Noteholders holding a majority of the Outstanding Amount before a judgment or decree for payment of the amount due has been obtained by the Indenture Trustee if (a) the Issuer has deposited with the Indenture
Trustee an amount sufficient to pay (i) all interest on and principal of the Notes as if the Indenture Default giving rise to such declaration had not occurred and (ii) all amounts advanced by the Indenture Trustee and its costs and expenses and (b)
all Indenture Defaults (other than the nonpayment of principal of the Notes that has become due solely by such acceleration) have been cured or waived.
At any time prior to the declaration of the acceleration of the maturity of the Notes, Noteholders holding not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount may waive
an Indenture Default as set forth in Section 5.12.
If the Notes have been declared due and payable following an Indenture Default, the Indenture Trustee may institute proceedings to collect amounts due, exercise
remedies as a secured party (including foreclosure or sale of the Trust Estate) or elect to maintain the Trust Estate and continue to apply the proceeds from the Trust Estate as if there had been no declaration of acceleration. Any sale of the Trust
Estate by the Indenture Trustee will be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 5.04.
Section 5.03
Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Indenture Trustee.
(a) The Issuer covenants that if there is a default in the payment of (i) any interest on the Notes when the same becomes due and payable, and such default
continues for a period of five days or (ii) the principal of the Notes at the Note Final Scheduled Payment Date or the Redemption Date, the Issuer shall, upon demand of the Indenture Trustee, pay to the Indenture Trustee, for the benefit of such
Noteholders, the entire amount then due and payable on such Notes for principal and interest, with interest on the overdue principal, and, to the extent payment at such rate of interest shall be legally enforceable, upon overdue installments of
interest, at the Overdue Interest Rate and in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture
Trustee and its agents, attorneys and counsel.
(b) In case the Issuer shall fail forthwith to pay amounts described in Section 5.03(a) upon demand, the Indenture Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an
express trust, may institute a Proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute such Proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce the same against the Issuer or other obligor upon such Notes and collect in the
manner provided by law out of the property of the Issuer or other obligor upon such Notes, wherever situated, the monies adjudged or decreed to be payable.
(c) If an Indenture Default occurs and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee may, in its discretion, proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the
Noteholders, by such appropriate Proceedings as the Indenture Trustee shall deem most effective to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in
this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy or legal or equitable right vested in the Indenture Trustee by this Indenture
or by law.
(d) In case there shall be pending, relative to the Issuer or any other obligor upon the Notes or any Person having or claiming an ownership interest in the Trust
Estate, Proceedings under Title 11 of the Code or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, or in case a receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization, liquidator, sequestrator or similar
official shall have been appointed for or taken possession of the Issuer or its property or such other obligor or Person, or in case of any other comparable judicial Proceedings relative to the Issuer or other obligor upon the Notes, or to the
property of the Issuer or such other obligor, the Indenture Trustee, irrespective of whether the principal of any Notes shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Indenture
Trustee shall have made any demand pursuant to the provisions of this Section, shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such Proceedings or otherwise:
(i) to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount of principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Notes and to file such
other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Indenture Trustee (including any claim for reasonable compensation to the Indenture Trustee and each predecessor Indenture Trustee, and their respective
agents, attorneys and counsel, and for reimbursement of all expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances and disbursements made, by the Indenture Trustee and each predecessor Indenture Trustee, except as a result of negligence or bad faith)
and of the Noteholders allowed in such Proceedings;
(ii) unless prohibited by applicable law and regulations, to vote on behalf of the Noteholders in any election of a trustee, a standby trustee
or Person performing similar functions in any such Proceedings;
(iii) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute all amounts received with
respect to the claims of the Noteholders and the Indenture Trustee on their behalf; and
(iv) to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Indenture
Trustee or the Noteholders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer, its creditors and its property;
and any trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official in any such Proceeding is hereby authorized by each Noteholder to make payments to the Indenture Trustee and,
in the event the Indenture Trustee shall consent to the making of payments directly to such Noteholders, to pay to the Indenture Trustee such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover reasonable compensation to the Indenture Trustee, each predecessor
Indenture Trustee and their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and all other expenses and liabilities incurred and all advances and disbursements made by the Indenture Trustee and each predecessor Indenture
Trustee except as a result of negligence or bad faith, and any other amounts due the Indenture Trustee under Section 6.07.
(e) Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Indenture Trustee to authorize or consent to or vote for or accept or adopt on behalf of any
Noteholder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Noteholder or to vote in respect of the claim of any Noteholder in any such proceeding except, as aforesaid, to vote for the
election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar Person.
(f) All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture, or under the Notes, may be enforced by the Indenture Trustee without the possession of the
Notes or the production thereof in any trial or other Proceedings relative thereto, and any such action or Proceedings instituted by the Indenture Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment,
subject to the payment of the expenses, advances, disbursements and compensation of the Indenture Trustee, each predecessor Indenture Trustee and their respective agents, attorneys and counsel shall be for the ratable benefit of the Noteholders in
respect of which such judgment has been recovered.
(g) In any Proceedings brought by the Indenture Trustee (and also any Proceedings involving the interpretation of any provision of this Indenture to which the
Indenture Trustee shall be a party), the Indenture Trustee shall be held to represent all the Noteholders, and it shall not be necessary to make any Noteholder a party to any such Proceedings.
Section 5.04
Remedies; Priorities.
(a) If an Indenture Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Indenture Trustee may do one or more of the following (subject to Section 5.05):
(i) institute Proceedings in its own name and as trustee of an express trust for the collection of all amounts then payable on the Notes or
under this Indenture with respect thereto, whether by declaration or otherwise, enforce any judgment obtained, and collect from the Issuer and any other obligor upon such Notes monies adjudged due;
(ii) institute Proceedings from time to time for the complete or partial foreclosure of this Indenture with respect to the Trust Estate;
(iii) exercise any remedies of a secured party under the UCC and take any other appropriate action to protect and enforce the rights and
remedies of the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders; and
(iv) subject to Section 5.17, after an acceleration of the maturity of the Notes pursuant to Section 5.02, 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, the Indenture Trustee may not sell or otherwise liquidate the Trust Estate following an Indenture Default pursuant to clause (iv) above, other than an Indenture
Default described in Section 5.01 (a) or (b), unless (A) Noteholders holding 100% of the Outstanding
Amount consent thereto, (B) the proceeds of such sale are sufficient to discharge in full all amounts then due and unpaid upon all outstanding Notes or (C) the Indenture Trustee
determines that 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 Indenture Trustee
obtains the consent of Noteholders holding not less than 66 2/3% of the Outstanding Amount; provided further, that the Indenture Trustee may not sell the Trust Estate, unless it shall first have obtained an Opinion of Counsel that such sale will not
cause the Vehicle Trust or an interest therein or portion thereof to be characterized as an association or a publicly traded partnership, in either case taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In determining such sufficiency
or insufficiency with respect to clauses (B) and (C) of the preceding sentence, the Indenture Trustee may but need not obtain (at the expense of the Issuer) and rely upon an opinion of an Independent investment banking or accounting firm of national
reputation as to the feasibility of such proposed action and as to the sufficiency of the Trust Estate for such purpose.
(b) If the Indenture Trustee collects any money or property pursuant to this Article Five after an acceleration of the maturity of the Notes pursuant to Section
5.02, it shall pay out such money or property held as Collateral (and other amounts including all amounts held on deposit in the Reserve Fund) for the benefit of the Noteholders, net of liquidation costs associated with the sale of the Trust Estate
in the following order:
(i) to the Indenture Trustee, the Note Registrar, the Certificate Registrar, the Paying Agent, the Owner Trustee and the Asset Representations
Reviewer, pro rata, based on unpaid amounts due and owing to each such party, for payment of any Trustee and Reviewer Fees and other amounts required to be paid and/or reimbursed to such party pursuant to Section 6.07 of this Indenture, Section 8.01
of the Trust Agreement or pursuant to the terms of the Asset Representations Review Agreement, respectively;
(ii) to the Servicer, for any Payment Date Advance Reimbursement;
(iii) to the Servicer, for amounts due in respect of accrued and unpaid Servicing Fees;
(iv) to the Noteholders, pro rata, based upon the aggregate amount of interest due to the Noteholders of each Class, to pay due and unpaid
interest, including any overdue interest and, to the extent permitted under applicable law, interest on any overdue interest at the applicable Overdue Interest Rate;
(v) to the Noteholders of the Class A-1 Notes, in payment of the principal amount due and unpaid on the Class A-1 Notes, until paid in full;
(vi) to the Noteholders of the Class A-2a Notes, Class A-2b Notes, Class A-3 Notes and Class A-4 Notes, pro rata, based on the aggregate
outstanding principal amount of each such Class, in payment of the principal amount due and unpaid on such Notes until paid in full; and
(vii) to the Certificateholder, any remaining amounts.
(c) The Indenture Trustee, pursuant to an Issuer Request may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Noteholders pursuant to this Section as provided
in the Issuer Request. At least 15 days before such record date, the Issuer shall mail to each Noteholder and the Indenture Trustee a notice that states the record date, the payment date and the amount to be paid.
Section 5.05
Optional Preservation of the 2026-1 SUBI Assets. If the Notes have been declared to be due and payable under
Section 5.02 following an Indenture Default and such declaration and its consequences have not been rescinded and annulled, the Indenture Trustee may, but need not, elect to maintain possession of the Trust Estate and continue to apply the proceeds
thereof in accordance with Section 3.01 and 8.04. It is the intent 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 Indenture Trustee shall take
such intent into account when determining whether or not to maintain possession of the Trust Estate. In determining whether to maintain possession of the Trust Estate, the Indenture Trustee may but need not obtain (at the expense of the Issuer) and
rely upon an opinion of an Independent investment banking or accounting firm of national reputation as to the feasibility of such proposed action and as to the sufficiency of the Trust Estate for such purpose.
Section 5.06
Limitation of Suits.
(a) 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: (i) such Noteholder previously has given to the Indenture Trustee written notice of a continuing Indenture Default, (ii) Noteholders holding not less than 25% of the Outstanding Amount
have made written request to the Indenture Trustee to institute such Proceeding in respect of such Indenture Default in its own name as Indenture Trustee, (iii) such Noteholder has offered the Indenture Trustee reasonable indemnity against the costs,
expenses and liabilities to be incurred in complying with such request, (iv) the Indenture Trustee has for 60 days failed to institute such Proceedings and (v) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Indenture
Trustee during such 60-day period by Noteholders holding a majority of the Outstanding Amount.
No Noteholder or group of 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 Noteholder or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided.
In the event the Indenture 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, the Indenture Trustee shall act in accordance with the request specified by the group of Noteholders with the greatest percentage of the Outstanding Amount, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture.
(b) No Noteholder shall have any right to vote except as provided pursuant to this Indenture and the Notes, nor any right in any manner to otherwise control the
operation and
management of the Issuer. However, in connection with any action as to which Noteholders are entitled to vote or consent under this Indenture and the Notes, the Issuer may set a record
date for purposes of determining the identity of Noteholders entitled to vote or consent in accordance with TIA Section 316(c).
Section 5.07
Unconditional Rights of Noteholders to Receive Principal and Interest. Notwithstanding any other provision in
this Indenture, any Noteholder shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and interest on, if any, such Note on or after the respective due dates thereof expressed in such Note or 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 Noteholder.
Section 5.08
Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Indenture Trustee or any Noteholder has instituted any Proceeding to
enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such Proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or has been determined adversely to the Indenture Trustee or such Noteholder, then and in every such case the Issuer, the Indenture
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 Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders shall
continue as though no such Proceeding had been instituted.
Section 5.09
Rights and Remedies Cumulative. No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Indenture Trustee or
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, in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder or otherwise shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.
Section 5.10
Delay or Omission Not a Waiver. No delay or omission of the Indenture Trustee or any Noteholder to exercise any
right or remedy accruing upon any Default or Indenture Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Default or Indenture Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law
to the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Indenture Trustee or by the Noteholders, as the case may be.
Section 5.11
Control by Noteholders. Subject to the provisions of Sections 5.06, 6.02(d) and 6.02(e), Noteholders holding not
less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any Proceeding for any remedy available to the Indenture Trustee with respect to the Notes or with respect to the exercise of any
trust or power conferred on the Indenture Trustee, provided that:
(a) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or this Indenture;
(b) subject to Section 5.04, any direction to the Indenture Trustee to, sell or liquidate the Trust Estate shall be made by Noteholders holding not less than 100%
of the Outstanding Amount;
(c) if the conditions set forth in Section 5.05 have been satisfied and the Indenture Trustee elects to retain the Trust Estate pursuant to such Section, and
except in the case of a sale of the Trust Estate pursuant to Section 2.19 of the Servicing Agreement, then any direction to the Indenture Trustee by Noteholders holding less than 100% of the Outstanding Amount to sell or liquidate the Trust Estate
shall be of no force and effect; and
(d) the Indenture Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Indenture Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction.
Notwithstanding the rights of Noteholders set forth in this Section, subject to Section 6.01, the Indenture Trustee need not take any action it determines might expose
it to personal liability or might materially adversely affect or unduly prejudice the rights of any Noteholders not consenting to such action, or is contrary to law or this Indenture.
Section 5.12
Waiver of Past Defaults. Prior to the acceleration of the maturity of the Notes as provided in Section 5.02,
Noteholders holding not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount, by written notice to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, may waive any such Indenture Default and its consequences except an Indenture Default (i) in payment of principal of or
interest on the Notes or (ii) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof that cannot be modified or amended without the consent of each Noteholder. In the case of any such waiver, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders shall be
restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Indenture Default or impair any right consequent thereto.
Upon any such waiver, such Indenture Default shall cease to exist and be deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred, and any Indenture 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 Indenture Default or impair any right consequent thereto.
Section 5.13
Undertaking for Costs. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Noteholder by such Noteholder’s acceptance
of a Note 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 Indenture Trustee for any action taken, suffered or
omitted by it as Indenture Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any
party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant, but the provisions of this Section shall not apply to (i) any suit instituted by the Indenture Trustee, (ii) any suit
instituted by any Noteholder or group of Noteholders, in each case holding in the aggregate more than 10% of the Outstanding Amount or (iii) any suit instituted by any Noteholder for the enforcement of the payment of principal of or interest on any
Note on or after the related due
dates expressed in such Note and in this Indenture (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date).
Section 5.14
Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. The Issuer covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will
not at any time insist upon, or plead or in any manner whatsoever, claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this
Indenture, and the Issuer (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Indenture
Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.
Section 5.15
Action on Notes. The Indenture 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 Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders shall be impaired
by the recovery of any judgment by the Indenture 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. Any money or property collected by the
Indenture Trustee as a recovery of any judgment on the Notes or under this Indenture shall be applied in accordance with Section 5.04(b).
Section 5.16
Performance and Enforcement of Certain Obligations.
(a) Promptly following a request from the Indenture Trustee to do so, the Issuer shall take all such lawful action as the Indenture Trustee may request to compel
or secure the performance and observance by the Servicer of its obligations to the Issuer under or in connection with the 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 each such agreement to the extent and in the manner directed by the Indenture Trustee, including the transmission of notices of default on the part of the Servicer thereunder and the
institution of legal or administrative actions or proceedings to compel or secure performance by the Servicer of its obligations under the Servicing Agreement.
(b) If an Indenture Default has occurred and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee may, and at the direction (which direction shall be in writing) of Noteholders
holding not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount, shall, exercise all rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims of the Issuer against the Vehicle Trustee or the Servicer under or in connection with the Servicing Agreement or the
Servicing Supplement, as applicable, including the right or power to take any action to compel or secure performance or observance by the Servicer of its obligations to the Issuer thereunder and to give any consent, request, notice, direction,
approval, extension or waiver under the Servicing Agreement, and any right of the Issuer to take such action shall be suspended.
Section 5.17
Sale of Trust Estate. If the Indenture Trustee acts to sell the Trust Estate or any part thereof, pursuant to
Section 5.04(a), the Indenture Trustee shall publish a notice in an Authorized Newspaper stating that the Indenture Trustee intends to effect such a sale in a
commercially reasonable manner and on commercially reasonable terms, which shall include the solicitation of competitive bids. Following such publication, the Indenture Trustee shall,
unless otherwise prohibited by applicable law from any such action, sell the Trust Estate or any part thereof, in such manner and on such terms as provided above to the highest bidder, provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee may from time to
time postpone any sale by public announcement made at the time and place of such sale. The Indenture Trustee shall give notice to the Transferor and Servicer of any proposed sale, and the Transferor and Servicer shall be permitted to bid for the
Trust Estate at any such sale. The Indenture Trustee may obtain a prior determination from a conservator, receiver or trustee in bankruptcy of the Issuer that the terms and manner of any proposed sale are commercially reasonable. The power to
effect any sale of any portion of the Trust Estate pursuant to Section 5.04 and this Section 5.17 shall not be exhausted by any one or more sales as to any portion of the Trust Estate remaining unsold, but shall continue unimpaired until the entire
Trust Estate shall have been sold or all amounts payable on the Notes shall have been paid.
ARTICLE SIX

Duties of Indenture Trustee.
(a) If a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee has actual knowledge that an Indenture Default has occurred and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee shall

powers; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee’s conduct does not constitute willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith.
(e) The Indenture Trustee may consult with counsel, and the advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel with respect to legal matters relating to this
Indenture and the Notes shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect to any action taken, omitted or suffered by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel.
(f) The Indenture Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture or to institute, conduct or defend
any litigation under this Indenture or in relation to this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Noteholders pursuant to this Indenture, other than requests, demands or directions explicitly required to be honored by the Indenture
Trustee pursuant to Sections 12.01, 12.02 or 12.04 of this Indenture or Section 1.21 of the Issuer Administration Agreement, unless such Noteholders shall have offered to the Indenture Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to it against the

(g) The Indenture Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument,
opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or document, unless requested in writing to do so by Noteholders evidencing not less than 50% of the Outstanding Amount; provided, however, that if the payment within a
reasonable time to the Indenture 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 Indenture Trustee, not reasonably assured to the Indenture Trustee by the
security afforded to it by the terms of this Indenture, the Indenture Trustee may require indemnity satisfactory to it against such cost, expense or liability as a condition to so proceeding. The reasonable expense of each such investigation shall
be paid by the Person making such request, or, if paid by the Indenture Trustee, shall be reimbursed by the Person making such request upon demand.
(h) Any request or direction of the Issuer mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by an Issuer Request.

rights and protections afforded to the Indenture Trustee under Article VI of this Indenture, other than under Section 6.07 herein.

implementation and execution of disaster recovery plans. Notwithstanding the occurrence of a foregoing event, the Indenture Trustee shall perform its obligations hereunder to the extent it is able to do so under such event. The Indenture Trustee
shall use reasonable efforts which are consistent with accepted practices in the banking industry
to prevent any failure or delay in performance and to resume performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances.
(n) In no event shall the Indenture Trustee be liable for failure to perform its duties under this Indenture if (i) such failure is a direct or proximate result of
another party’s failure to perform its obligations under this Indenture, (ii) such other party’s failure was not a direct or proximate result of the Indenture Trustee’s willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence and (iii) such failure by the
Indenture Trustee does not constitute willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith.
(o) Knowledge of U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as the Indenture Trustee shall not be attributed or imputed to its other roles in the transaction
and knowledge of the Securities Intermediary shall not be attributed or imputed to the Indenture Trustee (other than those where the roles are performed by the same group or division within U.S. Bank National Association or otherwise share the same
Responsible Officers), or any affiliate, line of business, or other division of U.S. Bank National Association (and vice versa).
Section 6.03
Individual Rights of Indenture Trustee. The Indenture 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 Indenture Trustee. Any Paying Agent, Note Registrar, co-registrar, co-paying agent, co-trustee or separate
trustee may do the same with like rights. The Indenture Trustee must, however, comply with Section 6.11.
Section 6.04
Indenture Trustee’s Disclaimer. The Indenture Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation
as to the enforceability, validity or adequacy of this Indenture, the Trust Estate or the Notes, shall not be accountable for the Issuer’s use of the proceeds from the Notes sold to the Underwriters and shall not be responsible for any statement in
the Indenture or in any document issued in connection with the sale of the Notes or in the Notes, all of which shall be taken as the statements of the Issuer, other than the Indenture Trustee’s certificate of authentication.
Section 6.05
Notice of Defaults. If an Indenture Default occurs and is continuing, and a Responsible Officer of the Indenture
Trustee has actual knowledge thereof, the Indenture Trustee shall mail to each Noteholder and the Administrator notice of such Indenture Default within 90 days after it occurs. Except in the case of an Indenture Default with respect to payment of
principal of or interest on any Note (including payments pursuant to the redemption of Notes), the Indenture Trustee may withhold such notice if and so long as a committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding such
notice is in the interests of the Noteholders; provided, however, that in the case of any Indenture Default of the character specified in Section 5.01(d), no such notice shall be given until at least 30 days after the occurrence thereof.
Section 6.06
Reports by Indenture Trustee to Noteholders. The Indenture Trustee, at the expense of the Issuer, shall deliver
to each Noteholder, not later than the latest date permitted by law, such information as may be reasonably requested (and reasonably available to the Indenture Trustee) to enable such holder to prepare its federal and state income tax returns. On
each Payment Date, the Indenture Trustee shall make available to the Noteholders, via the Indenture Trustee’s internet website at https://pivot.usbank.com (or via such other internet
website as may be designated by the Indenture Trustee for such purpose), the related Payment Date Certificate received by it from the Servicer pursuant to Section 8.03. Noteholders with questions may direct them to the Indenture Trustee’s bondholder
services group at (800) 934-6802.
Section 6.07
Compensation and Indemnity. The Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to the Indenture Trustee Fee as compensation
for its services hereunder. The Issuer shall (i) pay the Indenture Trustee Fee, (ii) reimburse the Indenture Trustee for all reasonable expenses (which shall include reasonable (and customary) out-of-pocket compensation and expenses (including
extraordinary expenses), disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee’s agents, counsel, accountants and experts but shall exclude overhead), advances and disbursements reasonably incurred and (iii) indemnify the Indenture Trustee and any of
its directors, officers, employees and agents (each, an “
Indemnified Party”) for, and hold it harmless against, any and all loss, liability or expense (including extraordinary expenses) (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses,
including those incurred by an Indemnified Party in defending against any claim relating to the actions or inactions of the Indemnified Party or in connection with the enforcement of any indemnification or other obligation of the Issuer) incurred by
it in connection with the administration of the Issuer or the performance of its duties hereunder or under any other Basic Document. The fees, expenses and indemnities described in the immediately preceding sentence shall be paid and/or reimbursed
by the Issuer pursuant to the terms of Sections 5.04 or 8.04 of this Indenture, as applicable. The Indenture Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Indenture Trustee shall notify
the Issuer and the Administrator promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Indenture Trustee to so notify the Issuer and the Administrator shall not relieve the Issuer of its obligations hereunder. The Issuer shall, or
shall cause the Administrator to, defend any such claim, and the Indenture Trustee may have separate counsel and the Issuer shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indenture Trustee shall not be
indemnified by the Issuer against any loss, liability or expense incurred by it through its own willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith, except that the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable (i) for any error of judgment made by it in good faith
unless it is proved that the Indenture Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts, (ii) with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it from the Noteholders in accordance
with the terms of this Indenture and (iii) for interest on any money received by it except as the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer may agree in writing. The Indenture Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any event unless a Responsible
Officer of the Indenture Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or has received written notice thereof.
The Issuer’s payment obligations and indemnities to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section shall survive the discharge of this Indenture or the earlier
resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee. When the Indenture Trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence of a Default set forth in Section 5.01(e) or (f) with respect to the Issuer, the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of
administration under Title 11 of the Code or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.
Section 6.08
Replacement of Indenture Trustee. The Indenture Trustee may resign at any time with 30 days’ prior written

custodian, trustee, conservator, sequestrator (or similar official) for the Indenture Trustee or for any substantial part of the Indenture Trustee’s property, or ordering the winding-up or liquidation of the Indenture Trustee’s affairs, provided any
such decree or order shall have continued unstayed and in effect for a period of 30 consecutive days;
(iii) the Indenture 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 Indenture Trustee or for any substantial part of the Indenture 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 corporate action in furtherance
of any of the foregoing; or

A successor Indenture Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Indenture Trustee and to the Issuer. Thereupon the resignation or
removal of the retiring Indenture Trustee shall become effective and the successor Indenture Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture, subject to
satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition. The successor Indenture Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to Noteholders. The retiring Indenture Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Indenture Trustee to the successor
Indenture Trustee. The retiring Indenture Trustee shall not be responsible for any acts or omissions of any successor Indenture Trustee.

Issuer or Noteholders holding not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee.
If the Indenture Trustee fails to comply with Section 6.11, any Noteholder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Indenture Trustee
and the appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee.
Any resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee and appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall not become
effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section and payment of all fees and expenses owed to the outgoing Indenture Trustee. Notwithstanding the replacement of the Indenture Trustee pursuant to
this Section, the retiring Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to payment or reimbursement of such amounts as such Person is entitled pursuant to Section 6.07. Any costs associated with the resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee shall be
paid by the Servicer, in its capacity as Administrator.

transfers all or substantially all its corporate trust business or assets to another corporation or depository institution the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation, without any further act, shall be the successor Indenture Trustee;
provided, that such corporation or depository institution shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under Section 6.11. The Indenture Trustee shall provide the Administrator written notice of any such transaction within 30 days of such consolidation
or merger.
In case at the time such successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation to the Indenture Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture,
the Notes shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Indenture Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor trustee and deliver such Notes so authenticated, and in case at that time the Notes
shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Indenture Trustee may authenticate such Notes either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor to the Indenture Trustee, and in all such cases such certificates
shall have the full force that it is anywhere in the Notes or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Indenture 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 Indenture Trustee shall have the power and may execute and deliver all instruments to appoint at its own expense 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 Collateral, 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 Indenture Trustee and the Administrator may consider necessary or desirable. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder
shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 6.11 and no notice to Noteholders of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall
be required under Section 6.08.
(b) Every separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and conditions:
(i) all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Indenture Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised
or performed by the Indenture Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being intended that such separate trustee or co-trustee is not authorized to act separately without the Indenture Trustee joining in such act), except to the
extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed, the Indenture Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations
(including the holding of title to the Collateral or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed singly by such separate trustee or co-trustee, but solely at the direction of the Indenture Trustee;
(ii) no separate trustee or co-trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder; and
(iii) the Indenture Trustee may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee.

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. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts
conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Indenture Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Indenture and specifically
including every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Indenture Trustee. Every such instrument shall be filed with the Indenture Trustee and a copy thereof given to the

not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this Indenture on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, then all of its estates, properties,
rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the Indenture Trustee to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor trustee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture, the appointment of
any separate trustee or co-trustee shall not relieve the Indenture Trustee of its obligations and duties under this Indenture.

collected or receivable from the Trust Estate are being applied in accordance with Section 5.05 as if there had not been such a declaration, then the Indenture Trustee shall, to the fullest extent practicable, invest and reinvest funds in investments
that are Permitted Investments in accordance with standing instructions most recently given in writing by the Servicer.

or from affiliated banks and broker-dealers, invest funds in registered investment companies that receive investment management and custodial services from the Indenture Trustee or its affiliates, subject to the limitations set forth herein.
(h) The Issuer acknowledges that to the extent regulations of the Comptroller of the Currency or other applicable regulatory entity grant the Issuer the right or option to receive individual
confirmations of security transactions at no additional cost, as they occur, the Issuer specifically waives the option to receive such confirmation to the extent permitted by law. The Indenture Trustee will furnish the Issuer periodic cash
transaction statements that include detail for all investment transactions made by the Indenture Trustee hereunder.

maintained as provided in Section 3.02); and
(d) that on the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price will become due and payable upon each such Note and that interest thereon shall cease to accrue from and
after the Redemption Date.
Notice of redemption of the Notes shall be given by the Indenture Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Issuer. Failure to give notice of redemption (or any
defect therein) to any Noteholder shall not impair or affect the validity of the redemption of any other Note.

Section 10.02, become due and payable on the Redemption Date 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.

Opinion of Counsel stating that in the opinion of such counsel all such conditions precedent, if any, have been complied with, except that, in the case of any such application or request as to which the furnishing of such documents is specifically

(b) In addition to any obligation imposed in Section 11.01(a) or elsewhere in this Indenture:
(i) Prior to the deposit of any Collateral or other property or securities with the Indenture Trustee that is to be made the basis for the
release of any property or securities subject to the lien of this Indenture, the Issuer shall furnish to the Indenture Trustee an Officer’s Certificate certifying or stating the opinion of each Person signing such certificate as to the fair value
(within 90 days of such deposit) to the Issuer of the Collateral or other property or securities to be so deposited.
(ii) Whenever the Issuer is required to furnish to the Indenture Trustee an Officer’s Certificate certifying or stating the opinion of any
signer thereof as to the matters described in clause (i) above, the Issuer shall also deliver to the Indenture Trustee an Independent Certificate as to the same matters, if the fair value of the property or securities to be so deposited and of all
other such securities made the basis of any such withdrawal or release since the commencement of the then-current calendar year of the Issuer, as set forth in the certificates delivered pursuant to clause (i) above and this clause, is 10% or more of
the Outstanding Amount, but such a certificate need not be furnished with respect to any securities so deposited, if the fair value thereof to the Issuer as set forth in the related Officer’s Certificate is less than $25,000 or less than 1% of the
Outstanding Amount.
(iii) Other than with respect to any release described in clause (A) or (B) of Section 11.01(b)(v), whenever any property or securities are to

signer thereof as to the matters described in clause (iii) above, the Issuer shall also furnish to the Indenture Trustee an Independent Certificate as to the same matters, if the fair value of the property or securities and of all other property, or
securities (other than property described in clauses (A) or (B) of Section 11.01(b)(v)) released from the lien of this Indenture since the commencement of the then current calendar year, as set forth in the Officer’s Certificates required by clause
(iii) above and this clause, equals 10% or more of the Outstanding Amount, but such Officer’s 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% of the
Outstanding Amount.
(v) Notwithstanding Section 2.08 or any other provision of this Section, the Issuer may (A) collect, liquidate, sell or otherwise dispose of the
Collateral as and to the extent permitted or required by the Basic Documents and (B) make cash payments out of the Accounts as and to the extent permitted or required by the Basic Documents.
Section 11.02
Form of Documents Delivered to Indenture 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 may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by,
counsel. 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 Administrator, the Transferor
or the Issuer, stating that the information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the Administrator, the Transferor or the Issuer.
Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other instruments under this
Indenture, they may, but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument.
Whenever in this Indenture, in connection with any application or certificate or report to the Indenture 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 terms hereof, it is intended that the truth and accuracy, at the time of the granting of such application or at the effective date of such
certificate or report (as the case may be), of the facts and opinions stated in such document shall in such case be conditions precedent to the right of the 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 Indenture Trustee’s right to rely upon the truth and accuracy of any statement or opinion contained in any such document as provided in Article Six.
Section 11.03
Acts of Noteholders.
(a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Noteholders may be
embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Noteholders in person or by agents duly appointed in writing; and except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective
when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Indenture Trustee, and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Issuer. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes
referred to as the “Act” of the Noteholders signing such instrument or instruments.
Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 6.01) conclusive in
favor of the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer, if made in the manner provided in this Section.
(b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved in any manner that the Indenture Trustee deems sufficient.
(c) The ownership of Notes shall be proved by the Note Register.
(d) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action by a Noteholder shall bind the Noteholder of every Note issued upon the
registration thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Indenture Trustee or the Issuer in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Note.
Section 11.04
Notices. All demands, notices and communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be delivered or mailed
by registered or certified first-class United States mail, postage prepaid, hand delivery, prepaid courier service, and addressed in each case as follows: (i) if to the Issuer c/o the Owner Trustee, at Rodney Square North, 1100 North Market Street,
Wilmington, Delaware 19890-1600, Attention: Corporate Trust Administration, with a copy to the Administrator, at 200 BMW Drive, Woodcliff Lake, New Jersey 07677, Attention: General Counsel, with a copy (which shall not constitute notice) to Philip
Russell, Esq., Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP, 110 North Wacker Drive, Suite 2800, Chicago, Illinois 60606; (ii) if to the Indenture Trustee, at the Corporate Trust Office; (iii) if to Moody’s, to Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., ABS/RMBS Monitoring
Department, 7 World Trade Center, 250 Greenwich Street, New York, New York 10007, Email: ServicerReports@moodys.com; (iv) if to Fitch, to Fitch Ratings, Inc., 300 West 57th Street, New York, New York 10019, Email: notifications.abs@fitchratings.com,
Attention: Asset Backed Surveillance; or (v) at such other address as shall be designated by any of the foregoing in a written notice to the other parties hereto. Delivery shall occur only upon receipt or reported tender of such communication by an
officer of the recipient entitled to receive such notices located at the address of such recipient for notices hereunder.
Section 11.05
Notices to Noteholders; Waiver. Where this Indenture provides for notice to Noteholders of any event, such
notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, 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 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 herein provided shall conclusively be presumed to have been duly given.
Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by any Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the
event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Noteholders shall be filed
with the Indenture 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 of Noteholders when such notice is required to be given pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, then any manner of giving such notice as shall be satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to be a sufficient giving of such
notice.
Where this Indenture provides that notice be made available to each Rating Agency, notice will be made available to the Rating Agencies by the Administrator and
failure to make such notice available shall not affect any other rights or obligations created hereunder, and shall not under any circumstance constitute an Indenture Default.
Section 11.06
Effect of Headings and Table of Contents. The Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are
for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.
Section 11.07
Successors and Assigns. All covenants and agreements in this Indenture and the Notes by the Issuer shall bind
its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not. All agreements of the Indenture Trustee in this Indenture shall bind its successors.
Section 11.08
Severability. In case any provision in this Indenture or in the Notes shall be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable, the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
Section 11.09
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, with respect to Sections 8.03 and 8.04, the Trust Certificateholders), the Owner Trustee, 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Securities Intermediary shall be a third-party beneficiary of this Indenture solely with
respect to the provisions of Section 6.02(i) hereof.
Section 11.10
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 except in the case of the Class A-1 Notes and Class A-2b Notes.
Section 11.11
Governing Law. This Indenture shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of
New York without reference to its conflicts of law provisions other than Sections 5-1401 and 5-1402 of the New York General Obligations Law, and the obligations, rights and remedies of the parties hereunder shall be determined in accordance with such
laws. Regardless of any provision in any other agreement, for purposes of the UCC, New York shall be deemed to be the Securities Intermediary’s jurisdiction, and the law
of the State of New York shall govern all issues specified in Article 2(1) of the Hague Securities Convention.
Section 11.12
Counterparts. This Indenture may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall be
deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. Each party agrees that this Indenture and any other documents to be delivered in connection herewith may be electronically signed (other
than any such other document which is explicitly required by the terms of this Indenture to be signed manually), and that any electronic signatures appearing on this Indenture or such other documents are the same as handwritten signatures for the
purposes of validity, enforceability, and admissibility to the fullest extent permitted by law.
Section 11.13
Recording of Indenture. If this Indenture is subject to recording in any appropriate public recording offices,
such recording is to be effected by the Issuer accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel (who may be counsel to the Indenture Trustee or any other counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indenture Trustee) to the effect that such recording is necessary
either for the protection of the Noteholders or any other Person secured hereunder or for the enforcement of any right or remedy granted to the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture.
Section 11.14
Trust Obligation. No recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the

consideration for stock, unpaid capital contribution or failure to pay any installment or call owing to such entity. For all purposes of this Indenture, in the performance of any duties or obligations of the Issuer hereunder, the Owner Trustee shall
be subject to, and entitled to the benefits of, the terms and provisions of Articles Six, Seven and Eight of the Trust Agreement.
Section 11.15

accepting a Note or in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note, hereby covenant and agree that prior to the date that is one year and one day after the date upon which all obligations and payments under the Securitized Financing

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.
Section 11.17
Inspection. The Issuer agrees that on reasonable prior notice it will permit any representative of the
Indenture Trustee, during the Issuer’s normal business hours, to examine all the books of account, records, reports and other papers of the Issuer, to make copies and extracts therefrom, to cause such books to be audited by Independent certified
public accountants and to discuss the Issuer’s affairs, finances and accounts with the Issuer’s officers, employees and Independent certified public accountants, all at such reasonable times and as often as may be reasonably requested. The Indenture
Trustee shall and shall cause its representatives to hold in confidence all such information, except to the extent disclosure may be required by law (and all reasonable applications for confidential treatment are unavailing) and except to the extent
the Indenture Trustee may reasonably determine that such disclosure is consistent with its obligations hereunder.

the representations, undertakings and agreements herein made on the part of the Issuer is made and intended not as personal representations, undertakings and agreements by Wilmington Trust, National Association but is made and intended for the
purpose of binding only the Issuer, (c) nothing herein contained shall be construed as creating any liability on Wilmington Trust, National Association, individually or personally, to perform any covenant either expressed or implied contained herein

conflicts with another provision hereof that is required to be included in this Indenture by any of the provisions of the TIA, such required provision shall control.

Section 3.09 of this Indenture is to facilitate compliance by the Issuer and the Depositor with the provisions of Regulation AB and related rules and regulations of the Commission.
Neither the Issuer nor the Administrator (acting on behalf of the Issuer) shall exercise its right to request delivery of information or other performance under these
provisions other than in good faith, or for purposes other than compliance with the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder (or the provision in a private offering of disclosure comparable to that
required under the Securities Act). Each of the parties agrees that (a) the obligations of the parties hereunder shall be interpreted in such a manner as to accomplish compliance with Regulation AB and (b) the parties’ obligations hereunder will be
supplemented and modified as necessary to be consistent with any such amendments, interpretive guidance provided by the Commission or its staff, or consensus among participants in the asset-backed securities markets, in respect of the requirements of

and deliverable (provided that, in the good faith determination of the Issuer, the Administrator or the Indenture Trustee, such additional or different information is required to comply with the provisions of Regulation AB).
The Issuer (or the Administrator, acting on behalf of the Issuer) shall cooperate with the Indenture Trustee by providing timely notice of requests for information

any of their respective officers, directors or employees) without the participation of the Administrator.
ARTICLE TWELVE
ASSET REPRESENTATIONS REVIEW
Section 12.01
Noteholder and Note Owner Requests for Vote on Asset Representations Review. If the Indenture Trustee receives
a notice from the Servicer pursuant to Section 4.1(a) of the Servicing Supplement regarding the occurrence of a Delinquency Trigger, then the Administrator shall confirm with the Indenture Trustee the method by which Noteholders and Note Owners may
contact the Indenture Trustee in order to request a vote on whether to cause the ARR Leases to be reviewed by the Asset Representations Reviewer pursuant to the terms of the Asset Representations Review Agreement. Noteholders and Note Owners may
request a vote not later than ninety (90) days after the date on which the Form 10-D describing the occurrence of such Delinquency Trigger shall have been filed by the Administrator pursuant to the terms of Section 1.21 of the Issuer Administration
Agreement; provided that, if the requesting party is a Note Owner and not a Noteholder, the Note Owner must include with its request a written certification that the requesting party is a Note Owner, together with one of the following additional
forms of documentation of the requesting party’s status as a Note Owner: (A) a trade confirmation, (B) an account statement; (C) a letter from a broker-dealer that is acceptable to the Indenture Trustee or Administrator, as applicable; or (D) any
other form of documentation that is acceptable to the Indenture Trustee or Administrator, as applicable (any such Note Owner who provides the required certification and documentation, a “
Verified Note Owner”). The Indenture Trustee shall
promptly notify the Servicer and the Administrator if Noteholders and Verified Note Owners representing at least 5% of the outstanding aggregate principal amount of all Outstanding Notes (such requesting Noteholders and Verified Note Owners,
collectively, the “
Requesting Noteholders”) properly and timely request a vote to cause the ARR Leases to be reviewed by the Asset Representations Reviewer pursuant to the terms of the Asset Representations Review Agreement.
Section 12.02
Noteholder and Note Owner Vote on Asset Representations Review. Beginning promptly after receipt from the
Administrator of a notice sent to the Indenture Trustee for distribution to Noteholders and Note Owners pursuant to Section 1.21(a)(ii) of the Issuer Administration Agreement, the Indenture Trustee shall cause the initiation of a review of the ARR
Leases pursuant to the terms of the Asset Representations Review Agreement to be submitted to a yes or no vote of the Noteholders using the Indenture Trustee’s standard procedures for conducting a vote of 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). If, by no earlier than the deadline specified by the Administrator pursuant to Section 1.21(a)(ii) of the Issuer
Administration Agreement, (i) votes have been cast by Noteholders holding at least 5% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Outstanding Notes and (ii) affirmative votes in favor of an Asset Representations Review have been cast by
Noteholders
representing at least a majority of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Outstanding Notes held by voting Noteholders, the Indenture Trustee will promptly notify the
Servicer, the Administrator and the Asset Representations Reviewer that the requisite Noteholders have directed the Asset Representations Reviewer to perform a review of the ARR Leases for the purpose of determining whether such ARR Leases were in
compliance with the representations and warranties made by the Servicer pursuant to Section 2.15(a) of the Servicing Supplement.
Section 12.03
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 with respect to any ARR Lease to be a breach of the applicable Basic Document, or requests in writing that any 2026-1 Lease (including any ARR Lease) be reallocated (including, for the
avoidance of doubt, as described in Section 4.2 of the Servicing Supplement), the Indenture Trustee will promptly forward that written notice to the Servicer. The Indenture Trustee shall have no obligation to pursue or otherwise be involved in
resolving any reallocation request, including any such request that is the subject of a dispute resolution proceeding, unless it is directed to do so by Noteholders representing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount and such Noteholders
shall have offered to the Indenture Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to it against the reasonable costs, expenses, disbursements, advances and liabilities that might be incurred by it, its agents and its counsel in compliance with such
direction. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Indenture Trustee does not agree to pursue or otherwise be involved in resolving any reallocation request, the related Noteholders may independently pursue dispute resolution in respect of such
reallocation request in accordance with Section 4.2 of the Servicing Supplement.
The Servicer will have the sole ability to determine if there was non-compliance with any representation or warranty made by it that constitutes a breach that
materially and adversely affects the interest of the Issuer in the related ARR Lease, and whether to reallocate the related ARR Lease from the Issuer.
Section 12.04
Dispute Resolution. Any Noteholder or Verified Note Owner may pursue dispute resolution procedures as set forth
in Section 4.2 of the Servicing Supplement. If directed to do so by the Servicer with respect to any reallocation request, the Indenture Trustee will notify the related Requesting Party of the date when the 180-day period related to such
reallocation request ends without resolution by the appropriate party and that the Requesting Party has 30 days to notify the Servicer if it wishes to pursue dispute resolution. For the avoidance of doubt, the Indenture Trustee shall be under no
obligation to monitor reallocation activity or to independently determine whether a reallocation request remains unresolved at the end of the related 180-day period.

SCHEDULE I
PERFECTION REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS
In addition to the representations, warranties and covenants contained in this Indenture, the Issuer hereby represents, warrants, and covenants to the Indenture
Trustee as follows on the Closing Date:
(1) The
Indenture creates a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the applicable UCC) in the Collateral in favor of the Indenture Trustee, which security interest is prior to all other Liens and is enforceable as such as against creditors
of and purchasers from the Issuer.
(2) The
2026-1 SUBI Certificate constitutes a “general intangible,” “instrument,” “certificated security,” or “tangible chattel paper,” within the meaning of the applicable UCC. The Accounts and all subaccounts thereof, constitute either deposit accounts
or securities accounts.
(3) All
of the Collateral that constitutes securities entitlements (other than the 2026-1 SUBI Certificate to the extent the 2026-1 SUBI Certificate constitutes a certificated security) has been or will have been credited to one of the Accounts. The
securities intermediary for each Account has agreed to treat all assets credited to the Accounts as “financial assets” within the meaning of the applicable UCC.
(4) The
Issuer owns and has good and marketable title to the Collateral free and clear of any Liens, claim or encumbrance of any Person, excepting only liens for taxes, assessments or similar governmental charges or levies incurred in the ordinary course
of business that are not yet due and payable or as to which any applicable grace period shall not have expired, or that are being contested in good faith by proper proceedings and for which adequate reserves have been established, but only so long
as foreclosure with respect to such a lien is not imminent and the use and value of the property to which the Liens attaches is not impaired during the pendency of such proceeding.
(5) The
