The Notes are not otherwise subject to early redemption or prepayment at the Issuer’s option, in whole or in part, prior to maturity.

on the Class A Notes and Class B Notes (in that order of priority) prior to their final maturity.
After the occurrence of the Scheduled Amortization Commencement Dates, the Issuer shall provide at least ten (10) days’ prior notice to the Trustee and the Trustee shall provide prompt (but not later than five (5) days prior to the applicable redemption date) notice thereof to DTC (and the Noteholders, if any Notes are held in definitive form).

Notice of redemption shall be given by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Issuer. In addition the Issuer shall notify each Rating Agency upon redemption of the Notes. 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 Note.
The Notes to be redeemed shall, following notice of redemption as required herein, on the redemption date become due and payable at the redemption price and (unless the Issuer shall default in the payment of the redemption price) no interest shall accrue on the redemption price for any period after the date to which accrued interest is calculated for purposes of calculating the redemption price.

[REVERSE OF NOTE]


Secured Senior Term Note, Series 2018-1, Class A
This Master Series 2018-1, Class A Note is being held by Citibank, N.A., as custodian for DTC acting as Depository, and registered in the name of Cede & Co., a nominee of DTC. This Master Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes, issued pursuant to a master indenture (the “Master Indenture”) between AM Capital Funding, LLC, as issuer (the “Issuer”), and Citibank, N.A., as indenture trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented by the Series 2018-1 Supplement thereto (the “Series 2018-1 Supplement”), and designated as the Issuer’s Secured Senior Term Notes, Series 2018-1, Class A (herein collectively called the “Notes”), and representing indebtedness of and the right to receive certain payments from the Issuer. The term “Indenture”, unless the context requires otherwise, refers to the Master Indenture as supplemented by the Series 2018-1 Indenture Supplement. Capitalized terms used herein that are not otherwise defined shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Indenture.
The holder of this Note, by its acceptance hereof, agrees that it will look solely to the Trust Estate and proceeds thereof allocated to the payment of this Note for payment hereunder and that the Trustee is not liable to the Noteholders for any amount payable under this Note or the Indenture or, except as expressly provided in the Indenture, subject to any liability under the Indenture.
This Note does not purport to summarize the Indenture, and reference is made to the Indenture for the interests, rights and limitations of rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced thereby, and the rights, duties and immunities of the Trustee.
Pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, interest on this Note will be payable on each Payment Date. Payments on this Note will be made to the Person in whose name this Note is registered at the close of business on the applicable Record Date in the amount required to be paid to such registered Holder on the Payment Date pursuant to the Indenture. The Record Date applicable to each Payment Date is the Business Day immediately preceding such Payment Date. The Payment Date is the fifteenth day of each calendar month (or, if not a Business Day, the next Business Day).
Payments on this Note shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Holder hereof at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor if such Noteholder so notifies the Trustee in writing before the related Record Date. If appropriate notice is not given by the Holder hereof, then payment to the Holder of this Note shall be by check mailed thereto at its address as it appears in the Note Register; provided, however, that the final payment of principal and interest on this Note shall be made only upon presentation and surrender of such Note at the office or agency specified in the notice of final payment.
The Notes are issuable only as fully-registered Notes without coupons in denominations specified in the Indenture. The Issuer will cause to be kept a register in which a transfer agent and registrar shall provide for the registration of Notes and the registration of transfers of Notes. Citibank, N.A. will initially be the Transfer Agent and Registrar for the purpose of

A-5




registering Notes and transfers of Notes. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note at the office or agency of the Transfer Agent and Registrar maintained pursuant to the Indenture, the Issuer will execute and the Trustee will authenticate and deliver at the direction of the Issuer, in the name of the designated transferees, new Notes (of the same Series and Class) in any authorized denominations of like aggregate principal amount. At the option of a Noteholder, Notes may be exchanged for other Notes (of the same Series and Class) in any authorized denominations and of like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at the office or agency of the Transfer Agent and Registrar. Whenever any Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the Issuer will execute and the Trustee will authenticate and deliver at the direction of the Issuer, the Notes that the Noteholder making the exchange is entitled to receive.
All Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes will evidence the same obligations and the same debt, and their Holders shall be entitled to the same rights and privileges under the Indenture, as the surrendered Notes or the Holders thereof, as applicable.
Every Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by (i) a written instrument of transfer in a form satisfactory to the Trustee and duly executed by its Holder or any attorney-in-fact thereof duly authorized in writing, (ii) any representation letters or certifications required by the Notes or Series 2018-1 Supplement and (iii) any other documents reasonably required by the Trustee. The Holder hereof must satisfy all transfer restrictions set forth in this Note and in the Indenture.
No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, but the Transfer Agent and Registrar or any co-transfer agent and registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of the Notes.
The Issuer and the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Issuer, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
The Notes are subject to repayment or redemption in whole or in part, in accordance with the Series 2018-1 Supplement.
The Notes will be retired on the date on which the final distribution of principal is made to the Noteholders, whether as a result of optional redemption by the Issuer pursuant to the Indenture or otherwise.

AM Capital Funding, LLC
Secured Subordinated Term Notes, Series 2018-1, Class B
This Master Series 2018-1, Class B Note is being held by Citibank, N.A., as custodian for DTC acting as Depository, and registered in the name of Cede & Co., a nominee of DTC. This Master Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes, issued pursuant to a master indenture (the “Master Indenture”) between AM Capital Funding, LLC, as issuer (the “Issuer”), and Citibank, N.A., as indenture trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented by the Series 2018-1 Supplement thereto (the “Series 2018-1 Supplement”), and designated as the Issuer’s Secured Subordinated Term Notes, Series 2018-1, Class B (herein collectively called the “Notes”), and representing indebtedness of and the right to receive certain payments from the Issuer. The term “Indenture”, unless the context requires otherwise, refers to the Master Indenture as supplemented by the Series 2018-1 Indenture Supplement. Capitalized terms used herein that are not otherwise defined shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Indenture.
The holder of this Note, by its acceptance hereof, agrees that it will look solely to the Trust Estate and proceeds thereof allocated to the payment of this Note for payment hereunder and that the Trustee is not liable to the Noteholders for any amount payable under this Note or the Indenture or, except as expressly provided in the Indenture, subject to any liability under the Indenture.
This Note does not purport to summarize the Indenture, and reference is made to the Indenture for the interests, rights and limitations of rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced thereby, and the rights, duties and immunities of the Trustee.
Pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, interest on this Note will be payable on each Payment Date. Payments on this Note will be made to the Person in whose name this Note is registered at the close of business on the applicable Record Date in the amount required to be paid to such registered Holder on the Payment Date pursuant to the Indenture. The Record Date applicable to each Payment Date is the Business Day immediately preceding such Payment Date. The Payment Date is the fifteenth day of each calendar month (or, if not a Business Day, the next Business Day).
Payments on this Note shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Holder hereof at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor if such Noteholder so notifies the Trustee in writing before the related Record Date. If appropriate notice is not given by the Holder hereof, then payment to the Holder of this Note shall be by check mailed thereto at its address as it appears in the Note Register; provided, however, that the final payment of principal and interest on this Note shall be made only upon presentation and surrender of such Note at the office or agency specified in the notice of final payment.
The Notes are issuable only as fully-registered Notes without coupons in denominations specified in the Indenture. The Issuer will cause to be kept a register in which a transfer agent and registrar shall provide for the registration of Notes and the registration of transfers of Notes. Citibank, N.A. will initially be the Transfer Agent and Registrar for the purpose of registering Notes and transfers of Notes. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note at the office or agency of the Transfer Agent and Registrar maintained pursuant to the Indenture, the Issuer will execute and the Trustee will authenticate and deliver at the direction of the Issuer, in the name of the designated transferees, new Notes (of the same Series and Class) in any authorized denominations of like aggregate principal amount. At the option of a Noteholder, Notes may be exchanged for other Notes (of the same Series and Class) in any authorized denominations and of like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at the office or agency of the Transfer Agent and Registrar. Whenever any Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the Issuer will execute and the Trustee will authenticate and deliver at the direction of the Issuer, the Notes that the Noteholder making the exchange is entitled to receive.
All Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes will evidence the same obligations and the same debt, and their Holders shall be entitled to the same rights and privileges under the Indenture, as the surrendered Notes or the Holders thereof, as applicable.
Every Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by (i) a written instrument of transfer in a form satisfactory to the Trustee and duly executed by its Holder or any attorney-in-fact thereof duly authorized in writing, (ii) any representation letters or certifications required by the Notes or Series 2018-1 Supplement and (iii) any other documents reasonably required by the Trustee. The Holder hereof must satisfy all transfer restrictions set forth in this Note and in the Indenture.
No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, but the Transfer Agent and Registrar or any co-transfer agent and registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of the Notes.
The Issuer and the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Issuer, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
The Notes are subject to repayment or redemption in whole or in part, in accordance with the Series 2018-1 Supplement.
The Notes will be retired on the date on which the final distribution of principal is made to the Noteholders, whether as a result of optional redemption by the Issuer pursuant to the Indenture or otherwise.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
In connection with the proposed purchase by the undersigned (the “Transferee”) of the above-referenced Notes, the Transferee hereby confirms as follows (capitalized terms used herein to have the meaning such terms would be assigned if used in the Indenture, as defined in and pursuant to which the Notes are issued):
1.    That he or she is [Title of Officer] of [Name of Transferee], a [savings institution] [corporation] [trust] duly organized and existing under the laws of [the State of ____________] [the United States], on behalf of which he or she makes this affidavit.
2.    The Transferee understands that the Notes have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and are being sold in a transaction that is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.
3.    The Purchaser is a “qualified institutional buyer” within the meaning of Rule 144A (“Rule 144A”) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Purchaser is aware that the transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A, and the Purchaser has had the opportunity to obtain the information required to be provided pursuant to paragraph (d)(4)(i) of Rule 144A.
4.     The Purchaser’s intention is to acquire the Notes (a) for investment for the Purchaser’s own account or (b) for resale to “qualified institutional buyers” in transactions under Rule 144A. The Purchaser understands that the Notes (and any subsequent Notes) have not been registered under the Securities Act, by reason of a specified exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the Purchaser’s investment intent (or intent to resell to only certain investors in certain exempted transactions), as expressed herein.
5.    The Transferee understands that the Issuer has not been and will not be registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). The Transferee certifies that (i) it is a “qualified purchaser” (within the meaning of Section 3(c)(7) of the Investment Company Act), and (ii) that it is acquiring the Notes for its own account and not for the account of any other beneficial owner (within the meaning of Section 3(c)(1) of the Investment Company Act).
6.    With respect to a transfer of the Class A Notes, the Transferee represents and warrants for the benefit of the Issuer, its Affiliates and the Trustee that, on the date of transfer and at all times on which the transferee holds the Class A Notes, such Transferee either (i) is not and will not be, acquiring the Notes for, or on behalf of, an employee benefit plan or any entity deemed to hold the assets of an employee benefit plan (each of the foregoing being a “Benefit Plan”) that is subject to Section 406 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), or to Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Code”), or to any substantially similar law (“Similar Law”) or (ii), the acquisition and holding of the Notes for, or on behalf of, a Benefit Plan is exempt from the prohibited transaction restrictions of Section 406 of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code or Similar Law because one or more of the following Prohibited Transaction Class Exemptions (“PTCE”) applies to the acquisition and holding of the Notes and the conditions of such PTCE(s) are met: PTCE 84-14, PTCE 90-1, PTCE 91-38, PTCE 95-60, or PTCE 96-23 (or another applicable PTCE or statutory exemption reasonably acceptable to each of the Issuer, its Affiliates and the Trustee). With respect to a transfer of the Class B Notes, the Transferee represents and warrants for the benefit of the Issuer, its Affiliates and the Trustee that, on the date of transfer and at all times on which the transferee holds the Class B Notes, such Transferee is not and will not be acquiring the Class B Notes for, or on behalf of a Benefit Plan that is subject to Section 406 of ERISA or to Section 4975 of the Code or to any Similar Law.
7.    If the Transferee is a U.S. person (as defined in the Code), the Transferee has fully and accurately completed and delivered to the Issuer IRS Form W-9 (or any successor form thereto), a copy of which is attached hereto as Annex A. If the Transferee is not a U.S. person (as defined in the Code), the Transferee has fully and accurately completed and delivered to the Issuer the applicable IRS Form W-8 (or any successor form thereto), a copy of which is attached hereto as Annex B. The Transferee will promptly inform the Issuer of any change in the applicable status of the Transferee, and execute and deliver to the Issuer a new Form W-8 or W-8, as applicable.
8.    The Transferee agrees to treat the Notes as evidencing indebtedness of the Issuer for U.S. federal, state, local and foreign income and franchise tax purposes.
9.    The Transferee understands that it may not transfer any beneficial interest in the Notes unless the subsequent transferee delivers to the Trustee an executed certificate in substantially the form of this certificate and otherwise in compliance with the provisions and restrictions of the Indenture.
10.    The Transferee has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Notes, and that it is able to bear the economic risk of such investment and has no need for immediate liquidity in its investment in the Notes.
11.    The Transferee has read the Indenture and the Servicing Agreement and has had access to such financial and other information concerning the Issuer, the initial Servicer and the Trustee as it deemed necessary or appropriate in order to make an informed investment decision with respect to its purchase of the Notes, including an opportunity to ask questions of and request information from the Issuer, the initial Servicer and the Trustee.
12.    The Transferee is not relying upon any information, representation or warranty by the Issuer, the initial Servicer or the Trustee in determining to invest in the Notes; and it has consulted to the extent deemed appropriate by the Transferee with the Transferee’s own advisors as to the financial, tax, legal, accounting and related matters concerning an investment in the Notes and on that basis believes that an investment in the Notes is suitable and appropriate for the Transferee.
13.    The Transferee agrees to be bound by the terms of the Indenture as applicable and relevant to its investment in the Notes.
14.    The Transferee understands that the Trustee is conclusively entitled to rely upon the truth of the statements and the genuineness of the signatures contained herein.    
This certificate and the statements contained herein are made for your benefit and the benefit of the Issuer.
