(a)
Series 2026-1 Class A-2 Notes Interest. From the Series 2026-1 Closing Date until the Series 2026-1 Legal Final Maturity Date (or, if earlier, the date on which the Series 2026-1 Class A-2 Outstanding Principal Amount with respect to a Tranche has been paid in full), the Series 2026-1 Class A-2 Outstanding Principal Amount with respect to such Tranche (after giving effect to all payments of principal made to Series 2026-1 Class A-2 Noteholders as of the first day of each Interest Accrual Period, or if such day is not a Quarterly Payment Date, as of the following Quarterly Payment Date, and also giving effect to repurchases and cancellations of Series 2026-1 Class A-2 Notes during such Interest Accrual Period) shall accrue interest at the Series 2026-1 Class A-2 Note Rate for such Tranche. Such accrued interest shall be due and payable in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date, from amounts that are made available for payment thereof (i) on any related Weekly Allocation Date in accordance with the Priority of Payments and (ii) on such Quarterly Payment Date in accordance with Section 5.14 (Quarterly Payment Date Applications) of the Base Indenture, commencing on May 15, 2026; provided that in any event all

To the extent any interest accruing at the Series 2026-1 Class A-2 Note Rate for any Tranche is not paid on a Quarterly Payment Date when due, such unpaid interest (net of all Debt Service Advances with respect thereto, a “Class A-2 Quarterly Interest Shortfall Amount”) shall accrue interest at the Series 2026-1 Class A-2 Note Rate for such Tranche. All computations of interest at the Series 2026-1 Class A-2 Note Rate shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days and twelve 30-day months.

(iii) On each Weekly Allocation Date and each Quarterly Payment Date, the Quarterly Scheduled Principal Deficiency Amount, if any, with respect to such Weekly Allocation Date or Quarterly Payment Date shall be allocated or due and payable, respectively, as and when amounts are made available for payment thereof (i) on any related Weekly Allocation Date in accordance with the Priority of Payments and (ii) on such Quarterly Payment Date in accordance with Section 5.14 (Quarterly Payment Date Applications) of the Base Indenture, in the amount so available, and failure to pay any Quarterly Scheduled Principal Deficiency Amounts in excess of available amounts in accordance with the foregoing shall not be an Event of Default.

(i) During any Rapid Amortization Period, principal payments shall be due and payable on each Quarterly Payment Date on the Series 2026-1 Class A-2 Notes (sequentially, in alphanumerical order of Class A Notes) as and when amounts are made available for payment thereof (x) on any related Weekly Allocation Date in accordance with the Priority of Payments and (y) on such Quarterly Payment Date in accordance with Section 5.14 (Quarterly Payment Date Applications) of the Base Indenture, in the amount so available, together with any Series 2026-1 Class A-2 Make-Whole Prepayment Premium required to be paid in connection therewith pursuant to Section 2.05(e) (Payment of Series 2026-1 Note Principal—Series 2026-1 Class A-2 Make-Whole Prepayment Premium Payments) of this Series Supplement; provided, for avoidance of doubt, that it shall not constitute an Event of Default if any such Series 2026-1 Class A-2 Make-Whole Prepayment Premium is not paid because insufficient funds are available to pay such Series 2026-1 Class A-2 Make-Whole Prepayment Premium, in accordance with the Priority of Payments. Such payments shall be ratably allocated among the Series 2026-1 Class A-2 Noteholders within each applicable Tranche, based on their respective portion of the Series 2026-1 Class A-2 Outstanding Principal Amount of such Tranche and unpaid amounts will continue to be due and payable on later payment dates.
