(b) The Notes shall be executed on behalf of the Issuing Entity by any of its Authorized Officers. The signature of any such Authorized Officer on the Notes may be manual or facsimile.

(b) If Temporary Notes are issued, the Issuing Entity 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 the Temporary Notes at the Agency Office of the Issuing Entity to be maintained as provided in Section 3.2, without charge to the Noteholder.

Temporary Notes, the Issuing Entity shall execute and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of Definitive Notes of authorized denominations. Until so delivered in exchange, the Temporary Notes shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as Definitive Notes.

SECTION 2.4 Registration of Notes; Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Notes.

(a) The Issuing Entity shall cause to be kept the Note Register, comprising separate registers for each class of Notes, in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as the Issuing Entity may prescribe, the Issuing Entity shall provide for the registration of the Notes and the registration of transfers and exchanges of the Notes. The Indenture Trustee shall initially be the Note Registrar for the purpose of registering the Notes and transfers of the Notes as herein provided. Upon any resignation of any Note Registrar, the Issuing Entity shall promptly appoint a successor Note Registrar or, if it elects not to make such an appointment, assume the duties of the Note Registrar.

(b) If a Person other than the Indenture Trustee is appointed by the Issuing Entity as Note Registrar, the Issuing Entity will give the Indenture Trustee prompt written notice of the appointment of such Note Registrar and of the location, and any change in the location, of the Note Register. The Indenture Trustee shall have the right to inspect the Note Register at all reasonable times and to obtain copies thereof. The Indenture Trustee shall have the right to rely upon a certificate executed on behalf of the Note Registrar by an Executive Officer thereof as to the names and addresses of the Noteholders and the principal amounts and number of such Notes.

(c) Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note at the Corporate Trust Office of the Indenture Trustee or the Agency Office of the Issuing Entity (and following the delivery, in the former case, of such Notes to the Issuing Entity by the Indenture Trustee), the Issuing Entity shall execute, the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and the Noteholder shall obtain from the Indenture Trustee, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes in any authorized denominations, of a like aggregate principal amount.

(d) At the option of the Noteholder, Notes may be exchanged for other Notes of the same class in any authorized denominations, of a like aggregate principal amount; and upon surrender of such Notes to be exchanged at the Corporate Trust Office of the Indenture Trustee or the Agency Office of the Issuing Entity (and following the delivery, in the former case, of such Notes to the Issuing Entity by the Indenture Trustee), the Issuing Entity shall execute, and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and the Noteholder shall obtain from the Indenture Trustee, such Notes which the Noteholder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

(e) All Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of other Notes shall be the valid obligations of the Issuing Entity, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

(f) Every Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee and the Note Registrar duly executed by, the Holder thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, with such signature guaranteed by a commercial bank or trust company located, or having a correspondent located, in The City of New York or the city in which the Corporate Trust Office of the Indenture Trustee is located, or by a member firm of a national securities exchange, and such other documents as the Indenture Trustee may require.

(g) No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, but the Issuing Entity or Indenture Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, other than exchanges pursuant to Sections 2.3 or 9.6 not involving any transfer.

(h) By acquiring a Class A Note, Class B Note, Class C Note or Class D Note, each purchaser and transferee shall be deemed to represent and warrant that either (i) it is not acquiring the Note with the plan assets of a Benefit Plan or other plan that is subject to Similar Law or (ii) (1) the acquisition and holding of the Note will not give rise to a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or a violation of Similar Law and (2) it acknowledges and agrees that a Note is not eligible for acquisition by Benefit Plans or other plans subject to Similar Law at any time that the ratings on such Note is below investment grade or the Note has been characterized as other than indebtedness for applicable local law purposes.

(i) By acquiring a Class A Note, Class B Note, Class C Note or Class D Note, each purchaser and transferee that is a Benefit Plan and its fiduciary which is representing the Benefit plan in its acquisition of the Notes (the “Plan Fiduciary”) shall be deemed to represent and warrant that (a) the decision to acquire the Note has been made on an arm’s length basis by the Plan Fiduciary; (b) the Plan Fiduciary is independent of the Seller, the Depositor, the Administrator, the Servicer, the sponsor, the Issuing Entity, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the underwriters or any of their respective affiliates (collectively, the “Transaction Parties”) and the Plan Fiduciary either: (i) is a bank as defined in Section 202 of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “Advisers Act”), or similar institution that is regulated and supervised and subject to periodic examination by a U.S. state or U.S. federal agency, (ii) is an insurance carrier which is qualified under the laws of more than one U.S. state to perform the services of managing, acquiring or disposing of assets of an “employee benefit plan” described in Section 3(3) of ERISA or “plan” described in Section 4975(e)(1)(A) of the Code, (iii) is an investment adviser registered under the Advisers Act, or, if not registered as an investment adviser under the Advisers Act by reason of paragraph (1) of Section 203A of the Advisers Act, is registered as an investment adviser under the laws of the U.S. state in which it maintains its principal office and place of business, (iv) is a broker-dealer registered under the Exchange Act or (v) holds, or has under its management or control, total assets of at least U.S. $50 million (provided that this clause (v) shall not be satisfied if the Plan Fiduciary is either (x) an individual directing his or her own individual retirement account or relative of such individual or (y) a participant or beneficiary of such benefit plan purchasing the offered notes or a relative of such participant or beneficiary); (c) the Plan Fiduciary is capable of evaluating investment risks

independently, both in general and with respect to particular transactions and investment strategies, including the acquisition by the Benefit Plan of the Note; (d) the Plan Fiduciary is a “fiduciary” with respect to the Benefit Plan within the meaning of Section 3(21) of ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code, or both, and is responsible for exercising independent judgment in evaluating the Benefit Plan’s acquisition of the Note; (e) none of the Transaction Parties has exercised any authority to cause the Benefit Plan to invest in the Note or to negotiate the terms of the Benefit Plan’s investment in the Note; and (f) the Plan Fiduciary has been informed by the Transaction Parties: (x) that none of the Transaction Parties are undertaking to provide impartial investment advice or to give advice in a fiduciary capacity in connection with the Benefit Plan’s acquisition of the Note and (y) of the existence and nature of the Transaction Parties’ financial interests in the Benefit Plan’s acquisition of the Note (as disclosed in the Prospectus).

(j) The preceding provisions of this Section 2.4 notwithstanding, the Issuing Entity shall not be required to transfer or make exchanges, and the Note Registrar need not register transfers or exchanges, of Notes that (i) have been selected for redemption pursuant to Article X, if applicable, or (ii) are due for repayment within fifteen (15) days of submission to the Corporate Trust Office or the Agency Office.

(k) (i) A Person other than the Depositor (or an Affiliate of the Depositor treated as the Depositor for federal income tax purposes) acquiring a Retained Note or an interest therein shall be deemed to have made the representations set forth in Section 2.14; and (ii) no sale, pledge or transfer of a Retained Note shall be made unless (A) the Depositor shall have provided prior written approval and (B) the Indenture Trustee and the Depositor previously received the Initial Certificate Transfer Opinion or (C) counsel satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee and the Depositor has rendered an opinion to the effect that (1) such sale, pledge or transfer by the Depositor will not cause the Issuing Entity to fail to qualify as a grantor trust for United States federal income tax purposes and (2) such Note will be characterized as indebtedness for United States federal income tax purposes;

provided, however, that the restrictions in this Section 2.4(k) shall not apply if the Depositor sells, transfers, conveys or assigns such Retained Note to an Affiliate of the Depositor where such Retained Notes transferred to such Affiliate represent all the Retained Notes of the Trust and the Affiliate (including a person treated as the Affiliate for federal income tax purposes) also owns all of the Retained Certificates. Any attempted transfer in contravention of this Section 2.4(k) shall be void ab initio and the purported transferor shall continue to be treated as the owner of the Retained Note. In addition, if for tax or other reasons it may be necessary to track such Notes (e.g., if the Notes have original issue discount), tracking conditions such as requiring that such Notes be in definitive registered form or have a different CUSIP may be required by the Administrator as a condition to such transfer.

(l) After the Closing Date, a Note (or beneficial interest therein) may not be sold or transferred to a Person that beneficially owns 100% of the Certificates of the Issuing Entity (and any other interest in the Issuing Entity treated as equity for United States federal income tax purposes); provided, however, that such sale or transfer shall be permitted if such Person covenants and agrees in writing, in form and substance satisfactory to the Issuing Entity and Indenture Trustee, that it will not transfer its Certificates or Notes except upon prior delivery to the Indenture Trustee of an Opinion of Counsel substantially to the effect described in Section

SECTION 2.10 Book-Entry Notes. The Notes, upon original issuance, shall be issued in the form of a typewritten Note or Notes representing the Book-Entry Notes, to be delivered to The Depository Trust Company, as the initial Clearing Agency, or its custodian, by or on behalf of the Issuing Entity, or in the case of the Ally Group Notes, at the Depositor’s option, as Definitive Notes delivered to the Depositor or its representative. Such Note or Notes shall be registered on the Note Register in the name of the Note Depository, and no Note Owner shall receive a Definitive Note representing such Note Owner’s interest in such Note, except as provided in Section 2.12. Unless and until the Definitive Notes have been issued to Note Owners pursuant to Section 2.12:

(a) the provisions of this Section 2.10 shall be in full force and effect;

Unless and until Definitive Notes are issued pursuant to Section 2.12, the initial Clearing Agency shall make book-entry transfers between the Clearing Agency Participants and receive and transmit payments of principal of and interest on such Notes to such Clearing Agency Participants, pursuant to the Note Depository Agreement; and

(e) whenever this Indenture requires or permits actions to be taken based upon instructions or directions of Holders of Notes evidencing a specified percentage of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class, the Clearing Agency shall be deemed to represent such percentage only to the extent that it has (i) 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 (ii) delivered such instructions to the Indenture Trustee.

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

SECTION 2.12 Definitive Notes. If (i) the Administrator advises the Indenture Trustee in writing that the Clearing Agency is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities with respect to the Notes and the Issuing Entity is unable to locate a qualified successor; (ii) the Administrator, at its option, advises the Indenture Trustee in writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry system through the Clearing Agency; or (iii) after the

occurrence of an Event of Default or a Servicer Default, Note Owners representing beneficial interests aggregating at least a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class advise the Clearing Agency in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system through the Clearing Agency is no longer in the best interests of the Note Owners, then the Clearing Agency shall notify all Note Owners and the Indenture Trustee of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of Definitive Notes to Note Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Indenture Trustee of the typewritten Note or Notes representing the Book-Entry Notes by the Clearing Agency, accompanied by registration instructions, the Issuing Entity shall execute and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate the Definitive Notes in accordance with the instructions of the Clearing Agency. None of the Issuing Entity, 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. Upon the issuance of Definitive Notes, the Indenture Trustee shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Notes as Noteholders.

SECTION 2.13 Depositor as Noteholder. The Depositor in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes of any class and may otherwise deal with the Issuing Entity or its affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not the Depositor.

SECTION 2.14 Tax Treatment.

(a) The Depositor and the Indenture Trustee, by entering into this Indenture, and the Noteholders, by acquiring any Note or interest therein (except a Note or interest therein acquired by the Depositor or other person considered for federal income tax purposes the issuer of such Note), (i) express their intention that the Notes qualify under applicable tax law as indebtedness secured by the Collateral, and (ii) unless otherwise required by appropriate taxing authorities, agree to treat the Notes as indebtedness secured by the Collateral for the purpose of federal income taxes (to the extent the Notes are treated as beneficially owned by a person other than Ally Bank or its affiliates), State and local income and franchise taxes, and any other taxes imposed upon, measured by or based upon gross or net income.

(b) Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by its acceptance of a Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note, agrees to provide to the Indenture Trustee, any Paying Agent or the Issuing Entity, as applicable, the Noteholder Tax Identification Information and, to the extent FATCA Withholding Tax is applicable, the Noteholder FATCA Information.

(c) Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by its acceptance of a Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note, agrees that the Indenture Trustee or any Paying Agent on behalf of the Issuing Entity has the right to withhold any amounts of interest (properly withholdable under law and without any corresponding gross-up) payable to a Noteholder or holder of an interest in a Note that fails to comply with the requirements of Section 2.14(b).

SECTION 2.15 Special Terms Applicable to the Private Notes.

(a) None of the Private Notes have been or will be registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction. Consequently, the Private Notes are not transferable other than pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, or pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, and satisfaction of certain other provisions specified herein.

(b) Except in a sale, pledge or other transfer of the Private Notes to the Depositor or an Affiliate of the Depositor or pursuant to Section 2.15(a), no sale, pledge or other transfer of the Private Notes or an interest in the Private Notes may be made by any person other than to a person who the transferor reasonably believes is a “qualified institutional buyer” (“QIB”) as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act (“Rule 144A”) and is purchasing for its own account (and not for the account of others) or as a fiduciary or agent for others (which others also are QIBs) and is aware that the sale to it is being made in reliance on Rule 144A.

Upon the subsequent request of the Depositor, the Ally Group Notes shall be issued as Book-Entry Notes, to be delivered to The Depository Trust Company.

(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 Holder thereof or to authorize the Indenture Trustee 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.

SECTION 5.4 Remedies; Priorities.

(a) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Notes have been accelerated under Section 5.2(a), the Indenture Trustee may do one or more of the following (subject to Sections 5.3 and 5.5):

(i) institute Proceedings in its own name and as trustee of an express trust for the collection of all amounts then due and payable on the Notes or under this Indenture with respect thereto, whether by declaration of acceleration or otherwise, enforce any judgment obtained, and collect from the Issuing Entity 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) 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 or elect to have the Issuing Entity maintain possession of the Receivables and continue to apply collections on such Receivables as if there had been no declaration of acceleration;

provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee may not sell or otherwise liquidate the Trust Estate following an Event of Default and acceleration of the Notes, unless (i) (A) the Holders of all of the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Notes consent thereto or (B) the proceeds of such sale or liquidation distributable to the Noteholders are sufficient to discharge in full the principal of and the accrued interest on the Notes, at the date of such sale or liquidation or (C) (x) there has

been an Event of Default under Section 5.1(a), Section 5.1(b) or Section 5.1(c) or otherwise arising from a failure to make a required payment of principal on any Notes, (y) 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 and when they would have become due if the Notes had not been declared due and payable, and (z) the Indenture Trustee obtains the consent of Holders of 66 2/3% of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class and (ii) ten (10) days’ prior written notice of sale or liquidation has been given to the Rating Agencies by the Depositor, provided, however, that the Depositor shall have received such notice from the Indenture Trustee at least two (2) Business Days prior thereto. In determining such sufficiency or insufficiency with respect to clauses (B) and (C), the Indenture Trustee may, but need not, obtain 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;

provided, however, that prior to the exercise of the right to sell all or any portion of the Trust Estate as provided herein, the Indenture Trustee shall provide a notice in writing to the Issuing Entity (with a copy to the Depositor and the Owner Trustee) (the “Event of Default Sale Notice”) of its intention to sell all or any portion of the Trust Estate (the part to be sold being the “Subject Estate”), and if the Subject Estate is less than all of the Trust Estate, the portion of the Trust Estate to be sold. The Indenture Trustee shall not consummate any sale until at least seven (7) Business Days after the Event of Default Sale Notice has been given to the Issuing Entity (with a copy to the Depositor).

(b) If the Indenture Trustee collects any money or property pursuant to this Article V, it shall pay out the money or property in the following order:

FIRST: to the Indenture Trustee for amounts due under Section 6.7, then to the Owner Trustee for amounts due to the Owner Trustee (not including amounts due for payments to the Certificateholders) under the Trust Agreement or the Servicing Agreement and then to the Asset Representations Reviewer for amounts due to the Asset Representations Reviewer under the Asset Representations Review Agreement and then to the Administrator for amounts due to the Administrator under the Administration Agreement; and

SECOND: to the Collection Account, for distribution pursuant to Sections 8.01(b) and 8.01(e) of the Servicing Agreement.

SECTION 5.5 Optional Preservation of the Receivables. If the Notes have been declared to be due and payable under Section 5.2 following an Event of Default and such declaration and its consequences have not been rescinded and annulled in accordance with Section 5.2(b), the Indenture Trustee may, but need not, elect to take and maintain possession of the Trust Estate. It is the desire of the parties hereto and the Secured Parties that there be at all times sufficient funds for the payment of the Secured Obligations to the Secured Parties and the Indenture Trustee shall take such desire into account when determining whether or not to take

and maintain possession of the Trust Estate. In determining whether to take and maintain possession of the Trust Estate, the Indenture Trustee may, but need not, obtain 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 5.6 Limitation of Suits. No Holder of any Note shall have any right to institute any Proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, except in accordance with Section 2.04(c) of the Trust Sale Agreement, unless:

(a) such Holder has previously given written notice to the Indenture Trustee of a continuing Event of Default;

(b) the Holders of not less than 25% of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class have made written request to the Indenture Trustee to institute such Proceeding in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Indenture Trustee hereunder;

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

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

(e) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Indenture Trustee during such sixty (60) day period by the Holders of a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class;

it being understood and intended that no one or more Holders of Notes 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 Holders of Notes or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other Holders of Notes or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable (on the basis of the respective aggregate amount of principal and interest, respectively, due and unpaid on the Notes held by each Noteholder) and common benefit of all holders of Notes. For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of this Section 5.6, each and every Noteholder shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.

If the Indenture Trustee shall receive conflicting or inconsistent requests and indemnity from two or more groups of Holders of Notes, each representing less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class, the Indenture Trustee in its sole discretion may determine what action, if any, shall be taken, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture.

SECTION 5.7 Unconditional Rights of Noteholders To Receive Principal and Interest. Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Indenture, the Holder of any Note shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and interest on such Note on or after the respective due dates thereof expressed in such Note or in

this Indenture (or, in the case of redemption, if applicable, on or after the Redemption Date) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such right shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.

SECTION 5.8 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 to such Noteholder, then and in every such case the Issuing Entity, the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders shall, subject to any determination in such Proceeding, be restored severally to their respective 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 5.9 Rights and Remedies Cumulative. No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Indenture Trustee or to the Noteholders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

SECTION 5.10 Delay or Omission Not a Waiver. No delay or omission of the Indenture Trustee or any Holder of any Note to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Default or Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Default or Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article V or by law to the Indenture Trustee or to 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. The Holders of a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class shall, subject to provision being made for indemnification against costs, expenses and liabilities in a form satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee, have the right to direct in writing the time, method and place of conducting any Proceeding for any remedy available to the Indenture Trustee with respect to the Notes or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Indenture Trustee; provided, however, that:

(a) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture;

(b) subject to the express terms of Section 5.4, any direction to the Indenture Trustee to sell or liquidate the Trust Estate shall be by the Holders of Notes representing not less than 100% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes;

(c) if the conditions set forth in Section 5.5 have been satisfied and the Indenture Trustee elects to retain the Trust Estate pursuant to Section 5.5, then any direction to the Indenture Trustee by Holders of Notes representing less than 100% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes to sell or liquidate the Trust Estate shall be of no force and effect; and

(d) the Indenture Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Indenture Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction;

provided, however, that, subject to Section 6.1, the Indenture Trustee need not take any action that it determines might cause it to incur any liability or might materially adversely affect the rights of any Noteholders not consenting to such action.

SECTION 5.12 Waiver of Past Defaults.

(a) Prior to the declaration of the acceleration of the maturity of the Notes as provided in Section 5.2, the Holders of not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class may waive any past Default or Event of Default and its consequences except a Default (i) in the payment of principal of or interest on any of the Notes or (ii) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Note. In the case of any such waiver, the Issuing Entity, the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders shall be restored to their respective former positions and rights hereunder; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

(b) Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist and be deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred, for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

SECTION 5.13 Undertaking for Costs. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Note by such Holder’s acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any Proceeding for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any Proceeding against the Indenture Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Indenture Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such Proceeding of an undertaking to pay the costs of such Proceeding, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in such Proceeding, 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 5.13 shall not apply to:

(a) any Proceeding instituted by the Indenture Trustee;

(b) any Proceeding instituted by any Noteholder, or group of Noteholders, in each case holding in the aggregate more than 10% of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class; or

(c) any Proceeding instituted by any Noteholder for the enforcement of the payment of principal of or interest on any Note on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Note and in this Indenture (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date).

SECTION 5.14 Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. The Issuing Entity covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall 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. The Issuing Entity (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it shall not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Indenture Trustee, but shall 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 Issuing Entity 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 Issuing Entity. Any money or property collected by the Indenture Trustee shall be applied in accordance with Section 5.4(b).

SECTION 5.16 Performance and Enforcement of Certain Obligations.

(a) Promptly following a request from the Indenture Trustee to do so and at the Administrator’s expense, the Issuing Entity agrees to take all such lawful action as the Indenture Trustee may request to compel or secure the performance and observance by the Depositor and the Servicer of their respective obligations to the Issuing Entity under or in connection with the Trust Sale Agreement and the Servicing Agreement or by the Seller of its obligations under or in connection with the Pooling Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof, and to exercise any and all rights, remedies, powers and privileges lawfully available to the Issuing Entity under or in connection with the Servicing Agreement, the Trust Sale Agreement and the Pooling 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 Seller, the Depositor or the Servicer and the institution of legal or administrative actions or proceedings to compel or secure performance by the Seller, the Depositor or the Servicer of their respective obligations under the Servicing Agreement, the Trust Sale Agreement and the Pooling Agreement, as applicable.

(b) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee may, and, at the direction (which direction shall be in writing or by telephone (confirmed in writing promptly thereafter)) of the Holders of 66-2/3% of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class shall, exercise all rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims of the Issuing Entity against the Depositor or the Servicer under or in connection with the Servicing Agreement or the Trust Sale Agreement, including the right or power to take any action to compel or secure performance or observance by the Depositor or the Servicer of each of their obligations to the Issuing Entity thereunder and to give any consent, request, notice, direction, approval, extension or waiver under the Trust Sale Agreement or the Servicing Agreement, and any right of the Issuing Entity to take such action shall be suspended.

(c) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee may, and, at the direction (which direction shall be in writing or by telephone (confirmed in writing promptly thereafter)) of the Holders of 66-2/3% of the Outstanding Amount of the

Notes shall, exercise all rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims of the Depositor against each of the Seller and the Servicer under or in connection with the Pooling Agreement and the Servicing Agreement, as applicable, including the right or power to take any action to compel or secure performance or observance by each of the Seller and the Servicer of its obligations to the Depositor thereunder and to give any consent, request, notice, direction, approval, extension or waiver under the Servicing Agreement and the Pooling Agreement, as applicable, and any right of the Depositor to take such action shall be suspended.

SECTION 5.17 Asset Representations Review.

(a) Within 90 days of the occurrence of a Delinquency Trigger, the holders of 5% or more of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes shall be entitled to demand in accordance with Section 11.4 that a vote be conducted of all Noteholders and Note Owners to determine whether to cause the Asset Representations Reviewer to conduct an Asset Representations Review; provided that for the purpose of determining the holders of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, any Notes held by Ally Bank or any of its Affiliates shall not be included in such calculation.

(b) Upon the direction of the requisite Noteholders or Note Owners set forth in Section 5.17(a), the Indenture Trustee shall post a notice through the Note Depository, initiating a vote of all Noteholders. Each Noteholder that elects to vote shall vote whether or not the Asset Representations Reviewer should be directed to conduct an Asset Representations Review using the voting instructions and procedures included in the statement to securityholders set forth in Section 4.09 of the Servicing Agreement. Noteholders or Note Owners shall be permitted to vote for at least 150 days after the filing of the statement to securityholders indicating that the Delinquency Trigger has been met or exceeded.

(c) In the event that a Note Owner exercises its right to vote such Note Owner’s beneficial interest, the Indenture Trustee shall verify that each such Note Owner is a Verified Note Owner and shall provide such evidence to the Issuing Entity.

(d) If the Vote Tabulation Agent notifies the Indenture Trustee that (i) a majority of the Noteholders voting pursuant to Section 5.17(b) vote to cause the Asset Representations Reviewer to conduct an Asset Representations Review and (ii) the holders of 5% or more of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes cast a vote, the Indenture Trustee shall provide such notice to the Issuing Entity (the “Asset Representations Review Notice”), which shall promptly provide such Asset Representations Review Notice to the Depositor and the Servicer pursuant to Section 2.03(b) of the Trust Sale Agreement.

(e) The Indenture Trustee shall cooperate with the Asset Representations Reviewer in the event an Asset Representations Review is commenced pursuant to Section 5.17(d) and shall provide the Asset Representations Reviewer with any documents or other information in its possession reasonably requested by the Asset Representations Reviewer in connection with the Asset Representations Review.

(f) If the Asset Representations Reviewer gives notice of its intent to resign or the Issuing Entity terminates the Asset Representations Reviewer pursuant to the terms of the

Asset Representations Review Agreement or if a vacancy exists in the office of the Asset Representations Reviewer for any reason (the Asset Representations Reviewer in such event being referred to herein as the retiring Asset Representations Reviewer), the Issuing Entity shall promptly appoint and designate a successor Asset Representations Reviewer; provided, however that such successor Asset Representations Reviewer shall not be an Affiliate of any of the Seller, the Administrator, the Depositor, the Issuing Entity, the Servicer, any Third Party Due Diligence Provider, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee. The Issuing Entity shall deliver a written notice to the Depositor, the Servicer and the Seller of the acceptance of a successor Asset Representations Reviewer. In the event that an Asset Representations Review has commenced at the time the retiring Asset Representations Reviewer resigns or a vacancy exists, the Issuing Entity shall cause the retiring Asset Representations Reviewer to provide the successor Asset Representations Reviewer with any information relating to the Asset Representations Review.

ARTICLE VI

THE INDENTURE TRUSTEE

SECTION 6.1 Duties of Indenture Trustee.

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

Except in the case of a Default in payment of principal of or interest on any Note, the Indenture Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of Noteholders.

SECTION 6.6 Reports by Indenture Trustee.

SECTION 6.7 Compensation; Indemnity.

(a) The Issuing Entity shall cause the Servicer pursuant to Section 2.08 of the Servicing Agreement to pay to the Indenture Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation for its services.

Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee’s agents, external counsel, accountants and experts. The Issuing Entity shall cause the Servicer to indemnify the Indenture Trustee in accordance with Section 6.01 of the Servicing Agreement.

(b) The Issuing Entity’s obligations to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section 6.7 shall survive the discharge of this Indenture.

SECTION 6.8 Replacement of Indenture Trustee.

(a) The Indenture Trustee may at any time give notice of its intent to resign by so notifying the Issuing Entity; provided, however, that no such resignation shall become effective and the Indenture Trustee shall not resign prior to the time set forth in Section 6.8(c). The Holders of a majority in Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class may remove the Indenture Trustee by so notifying the Indenture Trustee and may appoint a successor Indenture Trustee. Such resignation or removal shall become effective in accordance with Section 6.8(c). The Issuing Entity shall remove the Indenture Trustee if:

(i) the Indenture Trustee fails to comply with Section 6.11;

(ii) the Indenture Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent;

(iii) a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Indenture Trustee or its property; or

(iv) the Indenture Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting.

(b) If the Indenture Trustee gives notice of its intent to resign or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of the Indenture Trustee for any reason (the Indenture Trustee in

such event being referred to herein as the retiring Indenture Trustee), the Issuing Entity shall promptly appoint and designate a successor Indenture Trustee.

(c) A successor Indenture Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment and designation to the retiring Indenture Trustee and to the Issuing Entity. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Indenture Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Indenture Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture. 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.

(d) If a successor Indenture Trustee does not take office within sixty (60) days after the Indenture Trustee gives notice of its intent to resign or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Issuing Entity or the Holders of a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment and designation of a successor Indenture Trustee.

(e) 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.

Notice of redemption of the Notes under Section 10.1 shall be given by the Indenture Trustee by first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than five (5) days prior to the applicable Redemption Date to each Noteholder of record at such Noteholder’s address appearing in the Note Register.

(a) All notices of redemption shall state:

(i) the Redemption Date;

(ii) the applicable Redemption Price; and

(iii) the place where Notes are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price (which shall be the Agency Office of the Issuing Entity to be maintained as provided in Section 3.2).

(b) Notice of redemption of the Notes shall be given by the Indenture Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Issuing Entity. Failure to give notice of redemption, or any defect therein, to any Holder of any Note shall not impair or affect the validity of the redemption of any other Note.

SECTION 10.3 Notes Payable on Redemption Date. The Notes shall, following notice of redemption as required by Section 10.2, on the Redemption Date cease to be

Outstanding for purposes of this Indenture and shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the applicable Redemption Price and (unless the Issuing Entity shall default in the payment of such Redemption Price) no interest shall accrue on such Redemption Price for any period after the date to which accrued interest is calculated for purposes of calculating such Redemption Price.

SECTION 11.2 Form of Documents Delivered to Indenture Trustee.

(a) 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.

(b) Any certificate or opinion of an Authorized Officer of the Issuing Entity may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, counsel, unless such officer knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that any certificate, opinion or representation with respect to the matters upon which his certificate or opinion is based is erroneous. Any such certificate of an Authorized Officer or Opinion of Counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, an officer or officers of the Servicer, the Depositor, the Issuing Entity or the Administrator, stating that the information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the Servicer, the Depositor, the Issuing Entity or the Administrator, unless such counsel knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such matters are erroneous.

(c) 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.

(d) Whenever in this Indenture, in connection with any application or certificate or report to the Indenture Trustee, it is provided that the Issuing Entity shall deliver any document as a condition of the granting of such application, or as evidence of the Issuing Entity’s compliance with any term 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 Issuing Entity 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 VI.

SECTION 11.3 Acts of Noteholders.

(a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Noteholders or a class of 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 Issuing Entity. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Noteholders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 6.1) conclusive in favor of the Indenture Trustee and the Issuing Entity, if made in the manner provided in this Section 11.3.

(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.

(d) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action by the Holder of any Notes (or any one or more Predecessor Notes) shall bind the Holder of every Note issued upon the registration thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Indenture Trustee or the Issuing Entity in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Note.

SECTION 11.4 Notices, etc., to Indenture Trustee, Issuing Entity and Rating Agencies. Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Noteholders or other documents provided or permitted by this Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished to or filed with:

(a) the Indenture Trustee by any Noteholder or by the Issuing Entity shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or filed in writing to or with the Indenture Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office, or

(b) the Issuing Entity by the Indenture Trustee or by any Noteholder shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if in writing and either sent by electronic facsimile transmission (with hard copy to follow via first class mail) or mailed, by certified mail, return receipt requested to the Issuing Entity and the Owner Trustee each at the address specified in Appendix B to the Servicing Agreement.

The Issuing Entity shall promptly transmit any notice received by it from the Noteholders to the Indenture Trustee. The Indenture Trustee shall likewise promptly transmit any notice received by it from the Noteholders to the Issuing Entity and, if such notice is a Repurchase Request, to the Depositor.

Notices required to be given to the Rating Agencies by the Issuing Entity and the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee shall be delivered as specified in Appendix B to the Servicing Agreement.

SECTION 11.5 Notices to Noteholders; Waiver.

(a) Where this Indenture provides for notice to Noteholders of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if it is in writing and mailed, first-class, postage prepaid to each Noteholder affected by such event, at such Person’s address as it appears on the Note Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice. If 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 regardless of whether such notice is in fact actually received.

(b) 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.

(c) 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.

(d) Where this Indenture provides for notice to the Rating Agencies, failure to give such notice shall not affect any other rights or obligations created hereunder, and shall not under any circumstance constitute an Event of Default.

(e) If (i) the Indenture Trustee receives a Repurchase Request, (ii) the Depositor or Ally Bank does not repurchase or substitute the Receivables related to such Repurchase Request within 180 days of the receipt of such Repurchase Request and (iii) the Depositor notifies the Indenture Trustee that such 180 day period has expired, the Indenture Trustee shall deliver a Repurchase Response Notice to the related Noteholder or Note Owner.

(f) In the case of Book-Entry Notes, if the Note Depository allows for delivery of notice and other communications by electronic means, mail shall mean such electronic means, unless otherwise required by law.

SECTION 11.6 Alternate Payment and Notice Provisions. Notwithstanding any provision of this Indenture or any of the Notes to the contrary, the Issuing Entity may enter into any agreement with any Holder of a Note providing for a method of payment, or notice by the Indenture Trustee or any Paying Agent to such Holder, that is different from the methods provided for in this Indenture for such payments or notices. The Issuing Entity shall furnish to the Indenture Trustee a copy of each such agreement and the Indenture Trustee shall cause payments to be made and notices to be given in accordance with such agreements.

SECTION 11.7 Conflict with the Trust Indenture Act.

(a) If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with another provision hereof that is required to be included in this Indenture by any of the provisions of the TIA, such required provision shall control.

(b) The provisions of TIA §§ 310 through 317 that impose duties on any Person (including the provisions automatically deemed included herein unless expressly excluded by this Indenture) are a part of and govern this Indenture, whether or not physically contained herein.

SECTION 11.8 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 11.9 Successors and Assigns.

(a) All covenants and agreements in this Indenture and the Notes by the Issuing Entity shall bind its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not.

(b) All covenants and agreements of the Indenture Trustee in this Indenture shall bind its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not.

SECTION 11.10 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 11.11 Benefits of Indenture. Nothing in this Indenture or in the Notes, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and their successors hereunder, and to the extent expressly provided herein, the Noteholders, the 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.

SECTION 11.12 Legal Holidays. If the date on which any payment is due shall not be a Business Day, then (notwithstanding any other provision of the Notes or this Indenture) payment need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the date on which nominally due, and no interest shall accrue for the period from and after any such nominal date.

SECTION 11.13 Governing Law. THIS INDENTURE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 AND SECTION 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.

SECTION 11.14 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.

SECTION 11.15 Recording of Indenture. If this Indenture is subject to recording in any appropriate public recording offices, such recording is to be effected by the Issuing Entity and at its expense accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel 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 11.16 No Recourse. No recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuing Entity, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee on the Notes or under this Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith or therewith, against:

(a) the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity;

(b) the Depositor or any other owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuing Entity; or

(c) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer, director, employee or agent of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, the Depositor or any other holder of a beneficial interest in the Issuing Entity, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee or of any successor or assign of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity (or any of their successors or assigns), except as any such Person may have expressly agreed (it being understood that the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee have no such obligations in their individual capacity) and except that any such partner, owner or beneficiary shall be fully liable, to the extent provided by applicable law, for any unpaid consideration for stock, unpaid capital contribution or failure to pay any installment or call owing to such entity. For all purposes of this Indenture, in the performance of any duties or obligations of the Issuing Entity hereunder, the Owner Trustee shall be subject to, and entitled to the benefits of, the terms and provisions of Articles VI, VII and VIII of the Trust Agreement.

SECTION 11.17 No Petition. The Indenture Trustee, by entering into this Indenture, and each Noteholder and Note Owner, by accepting a Note (or interest therein) issued hereunder, hereby covenant and agree that they shall not, prior to the date which is one year and one day after the termination of this Indenture with respect to the Issuing Entity pursuant to Section 4.1, acquiesce, petition or otherwise invoke or cause the Depositor or the Issuing Entity to invoke the process of any court or government authority for the purpose of commencing or sustaining a case against the Depositor or the Issuing Entity under any federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other similar official of the Depositor or the Issuing Entity or any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of the affairs of the Depositor or the Issuing Entity under any federal or State bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding.

SECTION 11.18 Inspection. The Issuing Entity agrees that, on reasonable prior notice, it shall permit any representative of the Indenture Trustee, during the Issuing Entity’s normal business hours, to examine all the books of account, records, reports, and other papers of the Issuing Entity, to make copies and extracts therefrom, to cause such books to be audited by Independent certified public accountants, and to discuss the Issuing Entity’s affairs, finances and accounts with the Issuing Entity’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 that the Indenture Trustee may reasonably determine that such disclosure is consistent with its obligations hereunder.

SECTION 11.19 Indemnification by and Reimbursement of Servicer. The Indenture Trustee acknowledges and agrees to reimburse (i) the Servicer and its directors, officers, employees and agents in accordance with Section 6.03(b) of the Servicing Agreement and (ii) the Depositor and its directors, officers, employees and agents in accordance with

Section 3.04 of the Trust Sale Agreement. The Indenture Trustee further acknowledges and accepts the conditions and limitations with respect to the Servicer’s obligation to indemnify, defend and hold the Indenture Trustee harmless as set forth in Section 6.01(a)(iv) of the Servicing Agreement.

SECTION 11.20 Subordination. Each Note represents beneficial interests in the Issuing Entity only and does not represent interests in or obligations of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Administrator, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or any Affiliate thereof and no recourse, either directly or indirectly, may be had against such parties or their assets, except as may be expressly set forth or contemplated in the Basic Documents. Except as expressly provided in the Basic Documents, in the event of nonpayment of any amounts with respect to the Notes, each Noteholder shall have no claim against any of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Administrator, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or any Affiliate for any deficiency, loss or claim therefrom. In the event that any of the covenants above of each Noteholder is prohibited by, or declared illegal or otherwise unenforceable against any such Noteholder under applicable law by any court or other authority of competent jurisdiction, and, as a result, a Noteholder is deemed to have an interest in any assets of the Depositor or any Affiliate of the Depositor other than the Issuing Entity, each Noteholder agrees that (i) its claim against any such other assets shall be, and hereby is, subject and subordinate in all respects to the rights of other Persons to whom rights in the other assets have been expressly granted, including to the payment in full of all amounts owing to such entitled Persons, and (ii) the covenant set forth in the preceding clause (i) constitutes a “subordination agreement” within the meaning of, and subject to, Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code.

SECTION 11.21 Compliance with Applicable Anti-Terrorism and Anti-Money Laundering Regulations. In order to comply with laws, rules and regulations applicable to banking institutions, including those relating to the funding of terrorist activities and money laundering, the Indenture Trustee is required to obtain, verify and record certain information relating to individuals and entities which maintain a business relationship with the Indenture Trustee. Accordingly, the Issuing Entity agrees to provide, and agrees to cause the Administrator and the Servicer to provide, to the Indenture Trustee upon its request from time to time such identifying information and documentation as may be reasonably available to such party without undue expense in order to enable the Indenture Trustee to comply with applicable law.

ARTICLE XII

COMPLIANCE WITH THE FDIC RULE

SECTION 12.1 Purpose.

(a) Each of the Noteholders, the Ally Parties and the Indenture Trustee acknowledges and agrees that the purpose of this Article XII is to facilitate compliance by the Ally Parties with the provisions of the FDIC Rule. Each of the Noteholders, the Ally Parties and the Indenture Trustee acknowledges that the interpretations of the requirements of the FDIC Rule may change over time, whether due to interpretive guidance provided by the FDIC or its staff, consensus among participants in the asset-backed securities markets, advice of counsel, or otherwise, and agrees that the provisions set forth in this Article XII shall have the effect and

meanings that are appropriate under the FDIC Rule as such meanings change over time on the basis of evolving interpretations of the FDIC Rule.

(b) If any provision of the FDIC Rule is amended, or any interpretive guidance regarding the FDIC Rule is provided by the FDIC or its staff, as a result of which the Issuing Entity determines that an amendment to this Article XII is necessary or desirable, then the Issuing Entity and the Indenture Trustee shall be authorized and entitled to amend this Article XII in accordance with such FDIC Rule amendment or guidance, provided that the Issuing Entity delivers to the Indenture Trustee an Officer’s Certificate to the effect that (i) such amendment will not have a material adverse effect on the Noteholders or (ii) such amendment is required to remain in compliance with the FDIC Rule. Nothing in this Section 12.1(b) shall limit the rights of the Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 9.3.

(c) As used in this Article XII, but subject to the rules of interpretation specified in Section 12.1(a) and Section 12.1(b), references to (i) the “sponsor” shall mean the Seller, (ii) the “issuing entity” shall mean, collectively, the Depositor and the Issuing Entity (except in Section 12.2(e), where such term shall have the meaning in the FDIC Rule), (iii) the “servicer” shall mean the Servicer or Administrator, as applicable, (iv) “obligations” or “securitization obligations” shall mean the Notes and, to the extent permitted by the FDIC Rule, the Certificates, (v) “investors” shall mean the Noteholders and, to the extent permitted by the FDIC Rule, Certificateholders and (vi) “financial assets” and “securitized financial assets” shall mean the Receivables (except in Section 12.2(e), where such term shall have the meaning in the FDIC Rule).

(d) The Issuing Entity believes that the transactions and actions contemplated by the Basic Documents and the Prospectus comply with the requirements of Section 12.2.

SECTION 12.2 Requirements of FDIC Rule. As required by the FDIC Rule:

(a) Payment of principal and interest on the securitization obligations must be primarily based on the performance of financial assets that are transferred to the issuing entity and, except for interest rate or currency mismatches between the financial assets and the obligations, shall not be contingent on market or credit events that are independent of such financial assets.

(b) The sponsor, issuing entity, or servicer, as appropriate, shall make available to investors, information describing the financial assets, obligations, capital structure, compensation of relevant parties, and relevant historical performance data set forth below:

(i) On or prior to issuance of obligations and at the time of delivery of any periodic distribution report and, in any event, at least once per calendar quarter, while obligations are outstanding, information about the obligations and the securitized financial assets shall be disclosed to all potential investors at the financial asset or pool level, as appropriate for the financial assets, and security-level to enable evaluation and analysis of the credit risk and performance of the obligations and financial assets. Such information and its disclosure, at a minimum, shall comply with the requirements of Regulation AB or any successor disclosure requirements for public issuances, even if the obligations are issued in a private placement or are

not otherwise required to be registered; provided, however, that information that is unknown or not available to the sponsor or the issuing entity after reasonable investigation may be omitted if the issuing entity includes a statement in the offering documents disclosing that the specific information is otherwise unavailable;

(ii) On or prior to issuance of obligations, the structure of the securitization and the credit and payment performance of the obligations shall be disclosed, including the capital or tranche structure, the priority of payments and specific subordination features; representations and warranties made with respect to the financial assets, the remedies for and the time permitted for cure of any breach of representations and warranties, including the repurchase of financial assets, if applicable; liquidity facilities and any credit enhancements permitted by the FDIC Rule, any waterfall triggers or priority of payment reversal features; and policies governing delinquencies, servicer advances, loss mitigation and write-offs of financial assets;

(iii) While obligations are outstanding, the issuing entity shall provide to investors information with respect to the credit performance of the obligations and the financial assets, including periodic and cumulative financial asset performance data, delinquency and modification data for the financial assets, substitutions and removal of financial assets, servicer advances, as well as losses that were allocated to such tranche and remaining balance of financial assets supporting such tranche, if applicable, and the percentage of each tranche in relation to the securitization as a whole; and

(iv) The nature and amount of compensation paid to the originator, sponsor, rating agency or third-party advisor, any mortgage or other broker, and the servicer(s), and the extent to which any risk of loss on the underlying assets is retained by any of them for such securitization shall be disclosed. The issuer shall provide to investors while any obligations are outstanding any changes to such information and the amount and nature of payments of any deferred compensation or similar arrangements to any of the parties.

(c) The sponsor or a majority-owned affiliate of the sponsor shall retain an economic interest in the credit risk of the financial assets in accordance with Regulation RR, 17 C.F.R. §246.1, et seq. (“Regulation RR”), including (1) the restrictions on sale, pledging and hedging set forth therein and (2) any disclosure requirements set forth therein.

(d) The obligations shall not be predominantly sold to an affiliate (other than a wholly-owned subsidiary consolidated for accounting and capital purposes with the sponsor) or insider of the sponsor.

(e) The sponsor shall separately identify in its financial asset data bases the financial assets transferred into any securitization and shall maintain an electronic or paper copy of the closing documents in a readily accessible form, a current list of all of its outstanding securitizations and issuing entities, and the most recent Form 10-K, if applicable, or other periodic financial report for each securitization and issuing entity. The sponsor shall make these records readily available for review by the FDIC promptly upon written request.

(f) To the extent serving as servicer, custodian or paying agent for the securitization, the sponsor shall not comingle amounts received with respect to the financial assets with its own assets except for the time, not to exceed two business days, necessary to clear any payments received.

SECTION 12.3 Performance. The Issuing Entity agrees to (i) perform the covenants set forth in Section 12.2, except to the extent any such obligation is specifically imposed exclusively on the servicer or the sponsor and (ii) facilitate compliance with this Article XII by all Ally Parties.

SECTION 12.4 [Reserved].

SECTION 12.5 Actions upon Repudiation. Without such actions constituting an acknowledgement or agreement by any investor or any other party to the Basic Documents that the provisions of paragraph (d)(4) of the FDIC Rule are applicable:

(a) In the event that the Seller becomes the subject of an insolvency proceeding and the FDIC as receiver or conservator for the Seller provides a written notice of repudiation as contemplated by paragraph (d)(4)(ii) of the FDIC Rule, the Servicer shall determine whether the FDIC in such capacity will pay damages as provided in such paragraph (d)(4)(ii). Upon making such determination, the Servicer shall promptly, and in any event no more than one Business Day thereafter, so notify the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee.

(b) Following delivery of the notice specified in Section 12.5(a):

(i) at the direction of the Holders of at least 25% of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class, the Indenture Trustee shall request the Servicer to compute the damages due to the Holders of each Class of Notes pursuant to paragraph (d)(4)(ii) of the FDIC Rule and shall notify the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee and the FDIC of such amounts; and

(ii) at the direction of the Majority Certificateholders, if the Owner Trustee provides the Servicer with written instructions setting forth the amount of damages claimed by the Certificateholders pursuant to paragraph (d)(4)(ii) of the FDIC Rule, the Servicer shall notify the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee and the FDIC of such claim for damages.

(c) If any principal or accrued interest on the Notes remains unpaid upon receipt of the notice specified in Section 12.5(a), the Indenture Trustee shall thereupon determine the date (the “applicable distribution date”) for making a distribution to Noteholders of such damages, which date shall be the earlier of (i) the next Distribution Date on which such damages could be distributed and (ii) the earliest practicable date by which the Indenture Trustee could declare a special distribution date, in each case subject to all applicable provisions of this Indenture, Applicable Law and the procedures of any applicable Clearing Agency. The Indenture Trustee is authorized and instructed to retain possession and control of the Reserve Account and the Collection Account and all amounts on deposit therein.

(d) When the applicable distribution date is determined, the Servicer shall promptly compute the amount of interest to be paid on each Class of Notes on the applicable

distribution date, which interest (unless such applicable distribution date is a Distribution Date) shall be the amount accruing up to the applicable distribution date and which shall be computed by pro rating the amount that would otherwise be payable on the next succeeding Distribution Date on the basis of (x) the number (in the case of Notes other than the Class A-1 Notes, not to exceed 30) of days elapsed from such preceding Distribution Date based on a 360 day year divided by (y) 30. The Servicer shall notify the Indenture Trustee of the applicable amounts of principal and interest to be paid on each Class of Notes and the total of such amounts (such total, the “aggregate Note amount”) not later than the Business Day following the day on which the applicable distribution date is determined.

(e) If the applicable distribution date is a special distribution date, the Indenture Trustee shall (i) declare such special distribution date (the record date for which shall be the close of business on the day immediately preceding such special distribution date), (ii) declare a special distribution to Noteholders consisting of unpaid interest on each Note and the outstanding principal balance of each Note and (iii) deliver notice to the Noteholders and the Servicer (which shall deliver such notice to the Owner Trustee) of such special distribution date and special distribution.

(f) Following payment by the FDIC of any damages described in Section 12.5(a),

(i) such damages shall be deposited, first, into the Note Distribution Account (in an amount equal to the lesser of the (x) the aggregate Note amount and (y) the amount of such damages) and, second, into the Certificate Distribution Account (in the amount of such damages, if any, remaining after making the deposit described in clause first);

(ii) the Servicer shall promptly, and no later than one Business Day after such damages have been paid by the FDIC, (x) compute the amount, if any, required to be withdrawn from available funds in the Reserve Account (and, if necessary, the Collection Account) and transferred to the Note Distribution Account so that the amount on deposit in the Note Distribution Account shall equal the aggregate Note amount, if any and (y) promptly inform the Indenture Trustee and Owner Trustee of such computations; and

(iii) on the applicable distribution date, the Indenture Trustee shall, based on the computations in Section 12.5(f)(ii), first, withdraw from monies on deposit in the Reserve Account and, if necessary, monies on deposit in the Collection Account the amount so computed and cause such amount to be deposited into the Note Distribution Account and second, cause all amounts deposited in the Note Distribution Account pursuant to this Section 12.5 to be applied in accordance with Section 2.7(c), to the extent of the amounts available for application pursuant thereto (but distributing to each class the amount of interest computed by the Servicer pursuant to Section 12.5(d), rather than the amount specified in Section 2.7(c)).

(g) As promptly as practicable after giving effect to the distributions in Section 12.5(f), any funds remaining in the Note Distribution Account, the Certificate Distribution Account, the Collection Account and the Reserve Account shall be distributed on the earlier of (x) the date, if any, specified in the Trust Agreement and (y) the following Distribution Date (or on such applicable distribution date, if it is a Distribution Date), such

distributions to be made in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Basic Documents, with the Servicer to adjust the amounts of such distributions in the Servicer’s Accounting to take into account the amounts distributed on the applicable distribution date.

SECTION 12.6 Notice.

(a) In the event that the Seller becomes the subject of an insolvency proceeding and the FDIC as receiver or conservator provides a written notice of repudiation as contemplated by paragraph (d)(4)(ii) of the FDIC Rule, the Person receiving such notice shall promptly deliver such notice to each of the Ally Parties, the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee.

(b) If the FDIC (i) is appointed as a conservator or receiver of the Seller and (ii) is in default in the payment of principal or interest on the Notes when due following the expiration of any cure period hereunder or under the other Basic Documents, the Indenture Trustee at the direction of the Holders of at least 25% of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class, the Servicer or a Noteholder shall be entitled to deliver written notice to the FDIC requesting the exercise of contractual rights hereunder and under the other Basic Documents.

(c) If (i) the FDIC is appointed as a conservator or receiver of the Seller, (ii) the Notes have been paid in full and (iii) the FDIC is in default in the payment of any amounts due to Certificateholders following the expiration of any cure period hereunder or under the other Basic Documents, the Owner Trustee at the direction of the Majority Certificateholders or a Certificateholder shall be entitled to deliver written notice to the FDIC requesting the exercise of contractual rights hereunder and under the other Basic Documents.

SECTION 12.7 Reservation of Rights. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, neither the inclusion of this Article XII in this Indenture nor the compliance by any Person with, or the acknowledgment by any Person of, this Article’s provisions (a) constitutes an agreement or acknowledgment by any Person that, in the case of an insolvency proceeding with respect to Ally Bank, a receiver or conservator will have any rights with respect to the Trust Estate or (b) shall be deemed to limit in any way whatsoever the right of any Person to contest any decision, assertion or other action taken or made by such a receiver or conservator in respect of the obligations or the Basic Documents, including any such action seeking to apply the FDIC Rule, or the provisions of paragraph (d)(4) of the FDIC Rule rather than paragraph (d)(3) thereof, to the transactions contemplated by the Basic Documents.

CLASS A-1 2.30000% ASSET BACKED NOTES

ALLY AUTO RECEIVABLES TRUST 2018-2, a statutory trust organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (herein referred to as the “Issuing Entity”), for value received, hereby promises to pay to [ ][Cede & Co., or registered assigns,] the principal sum of [ ] DOLLARS ($[ ]) or such lesser outstanding amount as may be payable in accordance with the Indenture (as defined on the reverse side of this Note), on each Distribution Date, in an amount equal to the result obtained by multiplying (i) a fraction, the numerator of which is the initial principal amount hereof and the denominator of which is the aggregate initial principal amount for such Class A-1 Notes by (ii) the aggregate amount, if any, payable on such Distribution Date from the Note Distribution Account in respect of principal on the Class A-1 Notes pursuant to Sections 2.7, 3.1 and 8.2(c) of the Indenture; provided, however, that the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note shall be due and payable on May 15, 2019 (the “Final Scheduled Distribution Date”) unless this Class A-1 Note is earlier redeemed pursuant to Section 10.1 of the Indenture, in which case such unpaid principal amount shall be due on the Redemption Date. The Issuing Entity shall pay interest on this Class A-1 Note at the rate per annum shown above on each Distribution Date until the principal of this Class A-1 Note is paid or made available for payment on the principal amount of this Class A-1 Note outstanding on the preceding Distribution Date (after giving effect to all payments of principal made on the preceding Distribution Date (or, for the initial Distribution Date, the outstanding principal balance on the Closing Date)). Interest on the Class A-1 Notes will accrue from and including the Closing Date and will be payable on each Distribution Date in an amount equal to the Note Class Interest Distributable Amount for such Distribution Date for the Class A-1 Notes. Interest will be computed on the basis of actual number of days elapsed from and including the prior Distribution Date (or, in the case of the first Distribution Date, from and including the Closing Date) to but excluding the current Distribution Date and a 360-day year. Such principal of and interest on this Class A-1 Note shall be paid in the manner specified on the reverse hereof. All interest payments on each class of Notes on any Distribution Date shall be made pro rata to the Noteholders of such class entitled thereto.

The principal of and interest on this Class A-1 Note are payable in such coin or currency of the United States of America which, at the time of payment, is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.

Reference is made to the further provisions of this Class A-1 Note set forth on the reverse hereof, which shall have the same effect as though fully set forth on the face of this Class A-1 Note.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Indenture Trustee whose name appears below by manual signature, this Class A-1 Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture referred to on the reverse hereof or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

REVERSE OF NOTE

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Issuing Entity, designated as its Class A-1 2.30000% Asset Backed Notes (herein called the “Class A-1 Notes”), all issued under an indenture, dated as of April 30, 2018 (such indenture, as amended or supplemented, is herein called the “Indenture”), between the Issuing Entity and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as trustee (the “Indenture Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights and obligations thereunder of the Issuing Entity, the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders. The Class A-1 Notes are one of several duly authorized classes of Notes of the Issuing Entity issued pursuant to the Indenture (collectively, as to all Notes of all such classes, the “Notes”). The Notes are governed by and subject to all terms of the Indenture (which terms are incorporated herein and made a part hereof), to which Indenture the Holder of this Class A-1 Note by virtue of acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound. All capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Class A-1 Note that are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in or pursuant to the Indenture.

The Class A-1 Notes and all other Notes issued pursuant to the Indenture are and will be equally and ratably secured by the Collateral pledged as security therefor as provided in the Indenture.

Each Class A-1 Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Class A-1 Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Class A-1 Note will be deemed to represent and warrant that either (i) it is not acquiring the Note with the assets of (a) an “employee benefit plan” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA that is subject to the provisions of Title I of ERISA, (b) a “plan” subject to Section 4975 of the Code, (c) an entity whose underlying assets include plan assets by reason of investment by an employee benefit plan or plan in such entity or (d) any other plan that is subject to any law that is substantially similar to Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or (ii) (a) the acquisition and holding of the Note will not give rise to a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or a violation of any substantially similar applicable law, (b) it acknowledges and agrees that the Note is not eligible for acquisition by Benefit Plans or other Plans subject to Similar Law at any time that the ratings on such Note is below investment grade or the Note has been characterized as other than indebtedness for applicable local law purposes and (c) certain other requirements, as set forth in Section 2.4(i) of the Indenture, are satisfied, if applicable.

Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Class A-1 Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Class A-1 Note, covenants and agrees that no recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuing Entity, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee on the Notes or under the Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered in connection therewith, against (i) the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in their individual capacities, (ii) the Depositor or any other owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuing Entity or (iii) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer, director or employee of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in their individual capacities, any holder of a beneficial interest in the Issuing Entity, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee or of any successor or assign of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in their individual capacities,

Ex. C-1-7

except as any such Person may have expressly agreed and except that any such partner, owner or beneficiary shall be fully liable, to the extent provided by applicable law, for any unpaid consideration for stock, unpaid capital contribution or failure to pay any installment or call owing to such entity.

Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Class A-1 Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Class A-1 Note, covenants and agrees that by accepting the benefits of the Indenture such Noteholder or Note Owner will not, prior to the date which is one year and one day after the termination of the Indenture with respect to the Issuing Entity, acquiesce, petition or otherwise invoke or cause the Depositor or the Issuing Entity to invoke the process of any court or government authority for the purpose of commencing or sustaining a case against the Depositor or the Issuing Entity under any federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other similar official of the Depositor or the Issuing Entity or any substantial part of the property of either of them, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of the affairs of the Depositor or the Issuing Entity under any federal or State bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding.

Each Noteholder or holder of an interest in a Class A-1 Note, by acceptance of such Class A-1 Note or such interest therein, agrees to provide to the Indenture Trustee, any Paying Agent or the Issuing Entity, as applicable, the Noteholder Tax Identification Information and, to the extent FATCA Withholding Tax is applicable, the Noteholder FATCA Information. In addition, each Noteholder or holder of an interest in a Class A-1 Note, by acceptance of such Class A-1 Note or such interest therein, agrees that the Indenture Trustee has the right to withhold any amounts of interest (properly withholdable under law and without any corresponding gross-up) payable to a Noteholder or holder of an interest in a Class A-1 Note that fails to comply with the requirements of the preceding sentence.

Each Noteholder by accepting a Class A-1 Note (or any interest therein) acknowledges that such Person’s Class A-1 Note (or interest therein) represents beneficial interests in the Issuing Entity only and does not represent interests in or obligations of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Administrator, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or any Affiliate thereof and no recourse, either directly or indirectly, may be had against such parties or their assets, except as may be expressly set forth or contemplated in the Basic Documents. Each Noteholder by the acceptance of a Class A-1 Note (or beneficial interest therein) agrees that except as expressly provided in the Basic Documents, in the event of nonpayment of any amounts with respect to the Class A-1 Notes, it shall have no claim against any of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Administrator, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or any Affiliate for any deficiency, loss or claim therefrom. In the event that any of the foregoing covenants of each Noteholder is prohibited by, or declared illegal or otherwise unenforceable against any such Noteholder under applicable law by any court or other authority of competent jurisdiction, and, as a result, a Noteholder is deemed to have an interest in any assets of the Depositor or any Affiliate of the Depositor other than the Issuing Entity, each Noteholder agrees that (i) its claim against any such other assets shall be, and hereby is, subject and subordinate in all respects to the rights of other Persons to whom rights in the other assets have been expressly granted, including to the payment in full of all amounts owing to such entitled Persons, and (ii) the covenant set

Ex. C-1-8

forth in the preceding clause (i) constitutes a “subordination agreement” within the meaning of, and subject to, Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code.

Except a Noteholder which is considered for federal income tax purposes the issuer of the Class A-1 Note (or is disregarded as an entity separate from such issuer), each Noteholder, by acceptance of a Class A-1 Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Class A-1 Note, expresses its intention that this Class A-1 Note qualifies under applicable tax law as indebtedness secured by the Collateral and, unless otherwise required by appropriate taxing authorities, agrees to treat the Class A-1 Notes as indebtedness secured by the Collateral for the purpose of federal income taxes (to the extent the Class A-1 Notes are treated as beneficially owned by a person other than Ally Bank or its affiliates), State and local income and franchise taxes, and any other taxes imposed upon, measured by or based upon gross or net income.

Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of this Class A-1 Note, the Issuing Entity, the Indenture Trustee and any agent of the Issuing Entity or the Indenture Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Class A-1 Note (as of the day of determination or as of such other date as may be specified in the Indenture) is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Class A-1 Note shall be overdue, and none of the Issuing Entity, the Indenture Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

Each Class A-1 Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Class A-1 Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Class A-1 Note, acknowledges and agrees that the purpose of Article XII of the Indenture is to facilitate compliance with the FDIC Rule by the Seller, the Depositor, the Servicer and the Issuing Entity and that the interpretations of the requirements of the FDIC Rule may change over time, whether due to interpretive guidance provided by the FDIC or its staff, consensus among participants in the asset-backed securities markets, advice of counsel, or otherwise, and agrees that the provisions set forth in Article XII of the Indenture shall have the effect and meanings that are appropriate under the FDIC Rule as such meanings change over time on the basis of evolving interpretations of the FDIC Rule.

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Issuing Entity and the rights of the Noteholders under the Indenture at any time by the Issuing Entity with the consent of the Holders of Notes representing a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of Notes representing specified percentages of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class, on behalf of the Holders of all the Class A-1 Notes, to waive compliance by the Issuing Entity with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Class A-1 Note (or any one of more Predecessor Notes) shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Class A-1 Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Class A-1 Note. The Indenture also permits the Indenture Trustee to amend or waive certain terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture without the consent of the Noteholders.

Ex. C-1-9

The term “Issuing Entity” as used in this Class A-1 Note includes any successor to the Issuing Entity under the Indenture.

The Issuing Entity is permitted by the Indenture, under certain circumstances, to merge or consolidate, subject to the rights of the Indenture Trustee and the Holders of Notes under the Indenture.

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

Interest on the [Class A-2] [Class A-3] [Class A-4] Notes will accrue from and including the Closing Date and will be payable on each Distribution Date in an amount equal to the Note Class Interest Distributable Amount for such Distribution Date for the [Class A-2] [Class A-3] [Class A-4] Notes.

All interest payments on each class of Notes on any Distribution Date shall be made pro rata to the Noteholders of such class entitled thereto.

The principal of and interest on this Note are payable in such coin or currency of the United States of America which, at the time of payment, is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. All payments made by the Issuing Entity with respect to this Note shall be applied first to interest due and payable on this Note as provided above and then to the unpaid principal of this Note.

Reference is made to the further provisions of this Note set forth on the reverse hereof, which shall have the same effect as though fully set forth on the face of this Note.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Indenture Trustee whose name appears below by manual signature, this Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture referred to on the reverse hereof or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

REVERSE OF NOTE

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Issuing Entity, designated as [Class A-2] [Class A-3] [Class A-4] [ ]% Asset Backed Notes (herein called the “[Class A-2] [Class A-3] [Class A-4] Notes”), all issued under an indenture, dated as of April 30, 2018 (such indenture, as amended or supplemented, is herein called the “Indenture”), between the Issuing Entity and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as trustee (the “Indenture Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights and obligations thereunder of the Issuing Entity, the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders. The [Class A-2] [Class A-3] [Class A-4] Notes are one of several duly authorized classes of Notes of the Issuing Entity issued pursuant to the Indenture (collectively, as to all Notes of all such classes, the “Notes”). The Notes are governed by and subject to all terms of the Indenture (which terms are incorporated herein and made a part hereof), to which Indenture the Holder of this [Class A-2] [Class A-3] [Class A-4] Note by virtue of acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound. All capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this [Class A-2] [Class A-3] [Class A-4] Note that are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in or pursuant to the Indenture.

The [Class A-2] [Class A-3] [Class A-4] Notes and all other Notes issued pursuant to the Indenture are and will be equally and ratably secured by the Collateral pledged as security therefor as provided in the Indenture.

Each [Class A-2] [Class A-3] [Class A-4] Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a [Class A-2] [Class A-3] [Class A-4] Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a [Class A-2] [Class A-3] [Class A-4] Note will be deemed to represent and warrant that either (i) it is not acquiring the Note with the assets of (a) an “employee benefit plan” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA that is subject to the provisions of Title I of ERISA, (b) a “plan” subject to Section 4975 of the Code, (c) an entity whose underlying assets include plan assets by reason of investment by an employee benefit plan or plan in such entity or (d) any other plan that is subject to any law that is substantially similar to Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or (ii) (a) the acquisition and holding of the Note will not give rise to a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or a violation of any substantially similar applicable law, (b) it acknowledges and agrees that the Note is not eligible for acquisition by Benefit Plans or other plans subject to Similar Law at any time that the ratings on such Note is below investment grade or the Note has been characterized as other than indebtedness for applicable local law purposes and (c) certain other requirements, as set forth in Section 2.4(i) of the Indenture, are satisfied, if applicable.

Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a [Class A-2] [Class A-3] [Class A-4] Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a [Class A-2] [Class A-3] [Class A-4] Note, covenants and agrees that no recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuing Entity, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee on the Notes or under the Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered in connection therewith, against (i) the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in their individual capacities, (ii) the Depositor or any other owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuing Entity or (iii) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer, director or employee of the Indenture Trustee or the

Ex. C-2-8

Owner Trustee in their individual capacities, any holder of a beneficial interest in the Issuing Entity, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee or of any successor or assign of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in their individual capacities, except as any such Person may have expressly agreed and except that any such partner, owner or beneficiary shall be fully liable, to the extent provided by applicable law, for any unpaid consideration for stock, unpaid capital contribution or failure to pay any installment or call owing to such entity.

Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a [Class A-2] [Class A-3] [Class A-4] Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a [Class A-2] [Class A-3] [Class A-4] Note, covenants and agrees that by accepting the benefits of the Indenture such Noteholder or Note Owner will not, prior to the date which is one year and one day after the termination of the Indenture with respect to the Issuing Entity, acquiesce, petition or otherwise invoke or cause the Depositor or the Issuing Entity to invoke the process of any court or government authority for the purpose of commencing or sustaining a case against the Depositor or the Issuing Entity under any federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other similar official of the Depositor or the Issuing Entity or any substantial part of the property of either of them, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of the affairs of the Depositor or the Issuing Entity under any federal or State bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding.

Each Noteholder or holder of an interest in a [Class A-2] [Class A-3] [Class A-4] Note, by acceptance of such [Class A-2] [Class A-3] [Class A-4] Note or such interest therein, agrees to provide to the Indenture Trustee, any Paying Agent or the Issuing Entity, as applicable, the Noteholder Tax Identification Information and, to the extent FATCA Withholding Tax is applicable, the Noteholder FATCA Information. In addition, each Noteholder or holder of an interest in a [Class A-2] [Class A-3] [Class A-4] Note, by acceptance of such [Class A-2] [Class A-3] [Class A-4] Note or such interest therein, agrees that the Indenture Trustee has the right to withhold any amounts of interest (properly withholdable under law and without any corresponding gross-up) payable to a Noteholder or holder of an interest in a [Class A-2] [Class A-3] [Class A-4] Note that fails to comply with the requirements of the preceding sentence.

Each Noteholder by accepting a [Class A-2] [Class A-3] [Class A-4] Note (or any interest therein) acknowledges that such Person’s [Class A-2] [Class A-3] [Class A-4] Note (or interest therein) represents beneficial interests in the Issuing Entity only and does not represent interests in or obligations of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Administrator, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or any Affiliate thereof and no recourse, either directly or indirectly, may be had against such parties or their assets, except as may be expressly set forth or contemplated in the Basic Documents. Each Noteholder by the acceptance of a [Class A-2] [Class A-3] [Class A-4] Note (or beneficial interest therein) agrees that except as expressly provided in the Basic Documents, in the event of nonpayment of any amounts with respect to the [Class A-2] [Class A-3] [Class A-4] Notes, it shall have no claim against any of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Administrator, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or any Affiliate for any deficiency, loss or claim therefrom. In the event that any of the foregoing covenants of each Noteholder is prohibited by, or declared illegal or otherwise unenforceable against any such Noteholder under applicable law by any court or other authority of competent jurisdiction, and, as a result, a Noteholder is deemed to have an interest in any assets of the Depositor or any Affiliate of the Depositor other than the Issuing Entity, each Noteholder agrees that (i) its claim against any such

Ex. C-2-9

other assets shall be, and hereby is, subject and subordinate in all respects to the rights of other Persons to whom rights in the other assets have been expressly granted, including to the payment in full of all amounts owing to such entitled Persons, and (ii) the covenant set forth in the preceding clause (i) constitutes a “subordination agreement” within the meaning of, and subject to, Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code.

Except a Noteholder which is considered for federal income tax purposes the issuer of the [Class A-2] [Class A-3] [Class A-4] Note (or is disregarded as an entity separate from such issuer), each Noteholder, by acceptance of a [Class A-2] [Class A-3] [Class A-4] Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a [Class A-2] [Class A-3] [Class A-4] Note, expresses its intention that this [Class A-2] [Class A-3] [Class A-4] Note qualifies under applicable tax law as indebtedness secured by the Collateral and, unless otherwise required by appropriate taxing authorities, agrees to treat the [Class A-2] [Class A-3] [Class A-4] Notes as indebtedness secured by the Collateral for the purpose of federal income taxes (to the extent the [Class A-2] [Class A-3] [Class A-4] Notes are treated as beneficially owned by a person other than Ally Bank or its affiliates), State and local income and franchise taxes, and any other taxes imposed upon, measured by or based upon gross or net income.

Each [Class A-2] [Class A-3] [Class A-4] Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a [Class A-2] [Class A-3] [Class A-4] Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a [Class A-2] [Class A-3] [Class A-4] Note, acknowledges and agrees that the purpose of Article XII of the Indenture is to facilitate compliance with the FDIC Rule by the Seller, the Depositor, the Servicer and the Issuing Entity and that the interpretations of the requirements of the FDIC Rule may change over time, whether due to interpretive guidance provided by the FDIC or its staff, consensus among participants in the asset-backed securities markets, advice of counsel, or otherwise, and agrees that the provisions set forth in Article XII of the Indenture shall have the effect and meanings that are appropriate under the FDIC Rule as such meanings change over time on the basis of evolving interpretations of the FDIC Rule.

Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of this [Class A-2] [Class A-3] [Class A-4] Note, the Issuing Entity, the Indenture Trustee and any agent of the Issuing Entity or the Indenture Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this [Class A-2] [Class A-3] [Class A-4] Note (as of the day of determination or as of such other date as may be specified in the Indenture) is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this [Class A-2] [Class A-3] [Class A-4] Note shall be overdue, and none of the Issuing Entity, the Indenture Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Issuing Entity and the rights of the Noteholders under the Indenture at any time by the Issuing Entity with the consent of the Holders of Notes representing a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of Notes representing specified percentages of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class, on behalf of the Holders of all the [Class A-2] [Class A-3] [Class A-4] Notes, to waive compliance by the Issuing Entity with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this [Class A-2] [Class A-3] [Class A-4] Note (or any one of more Predecessor Notes) shall be conclusive and

Ex. C-2-10

binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this [Class A-2] [Class A-3] [Class A-4] Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this [Class A-2] [Class A-3] [Class A-4] Note. The Indenture also permits the Indenture Trustee to amend or waive certain terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture without the consent of the Noteholders.

The term “Issuing Entity” as used in this [Class A-2] [Class A-3] [Class A-4] Note includes any successor to the Issuing Entity under the Indenture.

The Issuing Entity is permitted by the Indenture, under certain circumstances, to merge or consolidate, subject to the rights of the Indenture Trustee and the Holders of Notes under the Indenture.

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

REVERSE OF NOTE

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Issuing Entity, designated as Class B 3.24% Asset Backed Notes (herein called the “Class B Notes”), all issued under an indenture, dated as of April 30, 2018 (such indenture, as amended or supplemented, is herein called the “Indenture”), between the Issuing Entity and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as trustee (the “Indenture Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights and obligations thereunder of the Issuing Entity, the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders. The Class B Notes are one of several duly authorized classes of Notes of the Issuing Entity issued pursuant to the Indenture (collectively, as to all Notes of all such classes, the “Notes”). The Notes are governed by and subject to all terms of the Indenture (which terms are incorporated herein and made a part hereof), to which Indenture the Holder of this Class B Note by virtue of acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound. All capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Class B Note that are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in or pursuant to the Indenture.

The Class B Notes and all other Notes issued pursuant to the Indenture are and will be equally and ratably secured by the Collateral pledged as security therefor as provided in the Indenture.

Each Class B Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Class B Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Class B Note will be deemed to represent and warrant that either (i) it is not acquiring the Note with the assets of (a) an “employee benefit plan” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA that is subject to the provisions of Title I of ERISA, (b) a “plan” subject to Section 4975 of the Code, (c) an entity whose underlying assets include plan assets by reason of investment by an employee benefit plan or plan in such entity or (d) any other plan that is subject to any law that is substantially similar to Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or (ii) (a) the acquisition and holding of the Note will not give rise to a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or a violation of any substantially similar applicable law, (b) it acknowledges and agrees that the Note is not eligible for acquisition by Benefit Plans or other plans subject to Similar Law at any time that the ratings on such Note is below investment grade or the Note has been characterized as other than indebtedness for applicable local law purposes and (c) certain other requirements, as set forth in Section 2.4(i) of the Indenture, are satisfied, if applicable.

Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Class B Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Class B Note, covenants and agrees that no recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuing Entity, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee on the Notes or under the Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered in connection therewith, against (i) the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in their individual capacities, (ii) the Depositor or any other owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuing Entity or (iii) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer, director or employee of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in their individual capacities, any holder of a beneficial interest in the Issuing Entity, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee or of any successor or assign of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in their individual capacities, except as any such Person may have expressly agreed and except that any such partner, owner or

Ex. C-3-7

beneficiary shall be fully liable, to the extent provided by applicable law, for any unpaid consideration for stock, unpaid capital contribution or failure to pay any installment or call owing to such entity.

Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Class B Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Class B Note, covenants and agrees that by accepting the benefits of the Indenture such Noteholder or Note Owner will not, prior to the date which is one year and one day after the termination of the Indenture with respect to the Issuing Entity, acquiesce, petition or otherwise invoke or cause the Depositor or the Issuing Entity to invoke the process of any court or government authority for the purpose of commencing or sustaining a case against the Depositor or the Issuing Entity under any federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other similar official of the Depositor or the Issuing Entity or any substantial part of the property of either of them, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of the affairs of the Depositor or the Issuing Entity under any federal or State bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding.

Each Noteholder or holder of an interest in a Class B Note, by acceptance of such Class B Note or such interest therein, agrees to provide to the Indenture Trustee, any Paying Agent or the Issuing Entity, as applicable, the Noteholder Tax Identification Information and, to the extent FATCA Withholding Tax is applicable, the Noteholder FATCA Information. In addition, each Noteholder or holder of an interest in a Class B Note, by acceptance of such Class B Note or such interest therein, agrees that the Indenture Trustee has the right to withhold any amounts of interest (properly withholdable under law and without any corresponding gross-up) payable to a Noteholder or holder of an interest in a Class B Note that fails to comply with the requirements of the preceding sentence.

Each Noteholder by accepting a Class B Note (or any interest therein) acknowledges that such Person’s Class B Note (or interest therein) represents beneficial interests in the Issuing Entity only and does not represent interests in or obligations of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Administrator, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or any Affiliate thereof and no recourse, either directly or indirectly, may be had against such parties or their assets, except as may be expressly set forth or contemplated in the Basic Documents. Each Noteholder by the acceptance of a Class B Note (or beneficial interest therein) agrees that except as expressly provided in the Basic Documents, in the event of nonpayment of any amounts with respect to the Class B Notes, it shall have no claim against any of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Administrator, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or any Affiliate for any deficiency, loss or claim therefrom. In the event that any of the foregoing covenants of each Noteholder is prohibited by, or declared illegal or otherwise unenforceable against any such Noteholder under applicable law by any court or other authority of competent jurisdiction, and, as a result, a Noteholder is deemed to have an interest in any assets of the Depositor or any Affiliate of the Depositor other than the Issuing Entity, each Noteholder agrees that (i) its claim against any such other assets shall be, and hereby is, subject and subordinate in all respects to the rights of other Persons to whom rights in the other assets have been expressly granted, including to the payment in full of all amounts owing to such entitled Persons, and (ii) the covenant set forth in the preceding clause (i) constitutes a “subordination agreement” within the meaning of, and subject to, Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code.

Ex. C-3-8

Except a Noteholder which is considered for federal income tax purposes the issuer of the Class B Note (or is disregarded as an entity separate from such issuer), each Noteholder, by acceptance of a Class B Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Class B Note, expresses its intention that this Class B Note qualifies under applicable tax law as indebtedness secured by the Collateral and, unless otherwise required by appropriate taxing authorities, agrees to treat the Class B Notes as indebtedness secured by the Collateral for the purpose of federal income taxes (to the extent the Class B Notes are treated as beneficially owned by a person other than Ally Bank or its affiliates), State and local income and franchise taxes, and any other taxes imposed upon, measured by or based upon gross or net income.

Each Class B Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Class B Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Class B Note, acknowledges and agrees that the purpose of Article XII of the Indenture is to facilitate compliance with the FDIC Rule by the Seller, the Depositor, the Servicer and the Issuing Entity and that the interpretations of the requirements of the FDIC Rule may change over time, whether due to interpretive guidance provided by the FDIC or its staff, consensus among participants in the asset-backed securities markets, advice of counsel, or otherwise, and agrees that the provisions set forth in Article XII of the Indenture shall have the effect and meanings that are appropriate under the FDIC Rule as such meanings change over time on the basis of evolving interpretations of the FDIC Rule.

Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of this Class B Note, the Issuing Entity, the Indenture Trustee and any agent of the Issuing Entity or the Indenture Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Class B Note (as of the day of determination or as of such other date as may be specified in the Indenture) is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Class B Note shall be overdue, and none of the Issuing Entity, the Indenture Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Issuing Entity and the rights of the Noteholders under the Indenture at any time by the Issuing Entity with the consent of the Holders of Notes representing a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of Notes representing specified percentages of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class, on behalf of the Holders of all the Class B Notes, to waive compliance by the Issuing Entity with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Class B Note (or any one of more Predecessor Notes) shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Class B Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Class B Note. The Indenture also permits the Indenture Trustee to amend or waive certain terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture without the consent of the Noteholders.

The term “Issuing Entity” as used in this Class B Note includes any successor to the Issuing Entity under the Indenture.

Ex. C-3-9

The Issuing Entity is permitted by the Indenture, under certain circumstances, to merge or consolidate, subject to the rights of the Indenture Trustee and the Holders of Notes under the Indenture.

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

This Class B Note and the Indenture shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without reference to its conflict of law provisions, and the obligations, rights and remedies of the parties hereunder and thereunder shall be determined in accordance with such laws.

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Class B Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuing Entity, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Class B Note at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency herein prescribed.

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, except as expressly provided in the Basic Documents, neither the Depositor, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee nor the Owner Trustee in their respective individual capacities, any owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuing Entity, nor any of their respective partners, beneficiaries, agents, officers, directors, employees or successors or assigns, shall be personally liable for, nor shall recourse be had to any of them for, the payment of principal of or interest on, or performance of, or omission to perform, any of the covenants, obligations or indemnifications contained in this Class B Note or the Indenture, it being expressly understood that said covenants, obligations and indemnifications have been made by the Owner Trustee solely as the Owner Trustee in the assets of the Issuing Entity. The Holder of this Class B Note by the acceptance hereof agrees that, except as expressly provided in the Basic Documents, in the case of an Event of Default under the Indenture, the Holder shall have no claim against any of the foregoing for any deficiency, loss or claim therefrom; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be taken to prevent recourse to, and enforcement against, the assets of the Issuing Entity for any and all liabilities, obligations and undertakings contained in the Indenture or in this Class B Note.

REVERSE OF NOTE

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Issuing Entity, designated as Class C 3.43% Asset Backed Notes (herein called the “Class C Notes”), all issued under an indenture, dated as of April 30, 2018 (such indenture, as amended or supplemented, is herein called the “Indenture”), between the Issuing Entity and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as trustee (the “Indenture Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights and obligations thereunder of the Issuing Entity, the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders. The Class C Notes are one of several duly authorized classes of Notes of the Issuing Entity issued pursuant to the Indenture (collectively, as to all Notes of all such classes, the “Notes”). The Notes are governed by and subject to all terms of the Indenture (which terms are incorporated herein and made a part hereof), to which Indenture the Holder of this Class C Note by virtue of acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound. All capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Class C Note that are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in or pursuant to the Indenture.

The Class C Notes and all other Notes issued pursuant to the Indenture are and will be equally and ratably secured by the Collateral pledged as security therefor as provided in the Indenture.

Each Class C Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Class C Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Class C Note will be deemed to represent and warrant that either (i) it is not acquiring the Note with the assets of (a) an “employee benefit plan” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA that is subject to the provisions of Title I of ERISA, (b) a “plan” subject to Section 4975 of the Code, (c) an entity whose underlying assets include plan assets by reason of investment by an employee benefit plan or plan in such entity or (d) any other plan that is subject to any law that is substantially similar to Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or (ii) (a) the acquisition and holding of the Note will not give rise to a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or a violation of any substantially similar applicable law, (b) it acknowledges and agrees that the Note is not eligible for acquisition by Benefit Plans or other plans subject to Similar Law at any time that the ratings on such Note is below investment grade or the Note has been characterized as other than indebtedness for applicable local law purposes and (c) certain other requirements, as set forth in Section 2.4(i) of the Indenture, are satisfied, if applicable.

Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Class C Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Class C Note, covenants and agrees that no recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuing Entity, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee on the Notes or under the Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered in connection therewith, against (i) the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in their individual capacities, (ii) the Depositor or any other owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuing Entity or (iii) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer, director or employee of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in their individual capacities, any holder of a beneficial interest in the Issuing Entity, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee or of any successor or assign of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in their individual capacities, except as any such Person may have expressly agreed and except that any such partner, owner or

Ex. C-4-7

Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Class C Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Class C Note, covenants and agrees that by accepting the benefits of the Indenture such Noteholder or Note Owner will not, prior to the date which is one year and one day after the termination of the Indenture with respect to the Issuing Entity, acquiesce, petition or otherwise invoke or cause the Depositor or the Issuing Entity to invoke the process of any court or government authority for the purpose of commencing or sustaining a case against the Depositor or the Issuing Entity under any federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other similar official of the Depositor or the Issuing Entity or any substantial part of the property of either of them, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of the affairs of the Depositor or the Issuing Entity under any federal or State bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding.

Each Noteholder or holder of an interest in a Class C Note, by acceptance of such Class C Note or such interest therein, agrees to provide to the Indenture Trustee, any Paying Agent or the Issuing Entity, as applicable, the Noteholder Tax Identification Information and, to the extent FATCA Withholding Tax is applicable, the Noteholder FATCA Information. In addition, each Noteholder or holder of an interest in a Class C Note, by acceptance of such Class C Note or such interest therein, agrees that the Indenture Trustee has the right to withhold any amounts of interest (properly withholdable under law and without any corresponding gross-up) payable to a Noteholder or holder of an interest in a Class C Note that fails to comply with the requirements of the preceding sentence.

Each Noteholder by accepting a Class C Note (or any interest therein) acknowledges that such Person’s Class C Note (or interest therein) represents beneficial interests in the Issuing Entity only and does not represent interests in or obligations of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Administrator, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or any Affiliate thereof and no recourse, either directly or indirectly, may be had against such parties or their assets, except as may be expressly set forth or contemplated in the Basic Documents. Each Noteholder by the acceptance of a Class C Note (or beneficial interest therein) agrees that except as expressly provided in the Basic Documents, in the event of nonpayment of any amounts with respect to the Class C Notes, it shall have no claim against any of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Administrator, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or any Affiliate for any deficiency, loss or claim therefrom. In the event that any of the foregoing covenants of each Noteholder is prohibited by, or declared illegal or otherwise unenforceable against any such Noteholder under applicable law by any court or other authority of competent jurisdiction, and, as a result, a Noteholder is deemed to have an interest in any assets of the Depositor or any Affiliate of the Depositor other than the Issuing Entity, each Noteholder agrees that (i) its claim against any such other assets shall be, and hereby is, subject and subordinate in all respects to the rights of other Persons to whom rights in the other assets have been expressly granted, including to the payment in full of all amounts owing to such entitled Persons, and (ii) the covenant set forth in the preceding clause (i) constitutes a “subordination agreement” within the meaning of, and subject to, Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code.

Ex. C-4-8

Except a Noteholder which is considered for federal income tax purposes the issuer of the Class C Note (or is disregarded as an entity separate from such issuer), each Noteholder, by acceptance of a Class C Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Class C Note, expresses its intention that this Class C Note qualifies under applicable tax law as indebtedness secured by the Collateral and, unless otherwise required by appropriate taxing authorities, agrees to treat the Class C Notes as indebtedness secured by the Collateral for the purpose of federal income taxes (to the extent the Class C Notes are treated as beneficially owned by a person other than Ally Bank or its affiliates), State and local income and franchise taxes, and any other taxes imposed upon, measured by or based upon gross or net income.

Each Class C Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Class C Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Class C Note, acknowledges and agrees that the purpose of Article XII of the Indenture is to facilitate compliance with the FDIC Rule by the Seller, the Depositor, the Servicer and the Issuing Entity and that the interpretations of the requirements of the FDIC Rule may change over time, whether due to interpretive guidance provided by the FDIC or its staff, consensus among participants in the asset-backed securities markets, advice of counsel, or otherwise, and agrees that the provisions set forth in Article XII of the Indenture shall have the effect and meanings that are appropriate under the FDIC Rule as such meanings change over time on the basis of evolving interpretations of the FDIC Rule.

Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of this Class C Note, the Issuing Entity, the Indenture Trustee and any agent of the Issuing Entity or the Indenture Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Class C Note (as of the day of determination or as of such other date as may be specified in the Indenture) is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Class C Note shall be overdue, and none of the Issuing Entity, the Indenture Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Issuing Entity and the rights of the Noteholders under the Indenture at any time by the Issuing Entity with the consent of the Holders of Notes representing a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of Notes representing specified percentages of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class, on behalf of the Holders of all the Class C Notes, to waive compliance by the Issuing Entity with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Class C Note (or any one of more Predecessor Notes) shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Class C Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Class C Note. The Indenture also permits the Indenture Trustee to amend or waive certain terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture without the consent of the Noteholders.

The term “Issuing Entity” as used in this Class C Note includes any successor to the Issuing Entity under the Indenture.

Ex. C-4-9

The Issuing Entity is permitted by the Indenture, under certain circumstances, to merge or consolidate, subject to the rights of the Indenture Trustee and the Holders of Notes under the Indenture.

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

This Class C Note and the Indenture shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without reference to its conflict of law provisions, and the obligations, rights and remedies of the parties hereunder and thereunder shall be determined in accordance with such laws.

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Class C Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuing Entity, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Class C Note at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency herein prescribed.

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, except as expressly provided in the Basic Documents, neither the Depositor, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee nor the Owner Trustee in their respective individual capacities, any owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuing Entity, nor any of their respective partners, beneficiaries, agents, officers, directors, employees or successors or assigns, shall be personally liable for, nor shall recourse be had to any of them for, the payment of principal of or interest on, or performance of, or omission to perform, any of the covenants, obligations or indemnifications contained in this Class C Note or the Indenture, it being expressly understood that said covenants, obligations and indemnifications have been made by the Owner Trustee solely as the Owner Trustee in the assets of the Issuing Entity. The Holder of this Class C Note by the acceptance hereof agrees that, except as expressly provided in the Basic Documents, in the case of an Event of Default under the Indenture, the Holder shall have no claim against any of the foregoing for any deficiency, loss or claim therefrom; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be taken to prevent recourse to, and enforcement against, the assets of the Issuing Entity for any and all liabilities, obligations and undertakings contained in the Indenture or in this Class C Note.

REVERSE OF NOTE

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Issuing Entity, designated as Class D 3.78% Asset Backed Notes (herein called the “Class D Notes”), all issued under an indenture, dated as of April 30, 2018 (such indenture, as amended or supplemented, is herein called the “Indenture”), between the Issuing Entity and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as trustee (the “Indenture Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights and obligations thereunder of the Issuing Entity, the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders. The Class D Notes are one of several duly authorized classes of Notes of the Issuing Entity issued pursuant to the Indenture (collectively, as to all Notes of all such classes, the “Notes”). The Notes are governed by and subject to all terms of the Indenture (which terms are incorporated herein and made a part hereof), to which Indenture the Holder of this Class D Note by virtue of acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound. All capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Class D Note that are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in or pursuant to the Indenture.

The Class D Notes and all other Notes issued pursuant to the Indenture are and will be equally and ratably secured by the Collateral pledged as security therefor as provided in the Indenture.

Each Class D Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Class D Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Class D Note will be deemed to represent and warrant that either (i) it is not acquiring the Note with the assets of (a) an “employee benefit plan” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA that is subject to the provisions of Title I of ERISA, (b) a “plan” subject to Section 4975 of the Code, (c) an entity whose underlying assets include plan assets by reason of investment by an employee benefit plan or plan in such entity or (d) any other plan that is subject to any law that is substantially similar to Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or (ii) (a) the acquisition and holding of the Note will not give rise to a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or a violation of any substantially similar applicable law, (b) it acknowledges and agrees that the Note is not eligible for acquisition by Benefit Plans or other plans subject to Similar Law at any time that the ratings on such Note is below investment grade or the Note has been characterized as other than indebtedness for applicable local law purposes and (c) certain other requirements, as set forth in Section 2.4(i) of the Indenture, are satisfied, if applicable.

Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Class D Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Class D Note, covenants and agrees that no recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuing Entity, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee on the Notes or under the Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered in connection therewith, against (i) the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in their individual capacities, (ii) the Depositor or any other owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuing Entity or (iii) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer, director or employee of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in their individual capacities, any holder of a beneficial interest in the Issuing Entity, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee or of any successor or assign of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in their individual capacities, except as any such Person may have expressly agreed and except that any such partner, owner or

Ex. C-5-7

Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Class D Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Class D Note, covenants and agrees that by accepting the benefits of the Indenture such Noteholder or Note Owner will not, prior to the date which is one year and one day after the termination of the Indenture with respect to the Issuing Entity, acquiesce, petition or otherwise invoke or cause the Depositor or the Issuing Entity to invoke the process of any court or government authority for the purpose of commencing or sustaining a case against the Depositor or the Issuing Entity under any federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other similar official of the Depositor or the Issuing Entity or any substantial part of the property of either of them, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of the affairs of the Depositor or the Issuing Entity under any federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding.

Each Noteholder or holder of an interest in a Class D Note, by acceptance of such Class D Note or such interest therein, agrees to provide to the Indenture Trustee, any Paying Agent or the Issuing Entity, as applicable, the Noteholder Tax Identification Information and, to the extent FATCA Withholding Tax is applicable, the Noteholder FATCA Information. In addition, each Noteholder or holder of an interest in a Class D Note, by acceptance of such Class D Note or such interest therein, agrees that the Indenture Trustee has the right to withhold any amounts of interest (properly withholdable under law and without any corresponding gross-up) payable to a Noteholder or holder of an interest in a Class D Note that fails to comply with the requirements of the preceding sentence.

Each Noteholder by accepting a Class D Note (or any interest therein) acknowledges that such Person’s Class D Note (or interest therein) represents beneficial interests in the Issuing Entity only and does not represent interests in or obligations of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Administrator, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or any Affiliate thereof and no recourse, either directly or indirectly, may be had against such parties or their assets, except as may be expressly set forth or contemplated in the Basic Documents. Each Noteholder by the acceptance of a Class D Note (or beneficial interest therein) agrees that except as expressly provided in the Basic Documents, in the event of nonpayment of any amounts with respect to the Class D Notes, it shall have no claim against any of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Administrator, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or any Affiliate for any deficiency, loss or claim therefrom. In the event that any of the foregoing covenants of each Noteholder is prohibited by, or declared illegal or otherwise unenforceable against any such Noteholder under applicable law by any court or other authority of competent jurisdiction, and, as a result, a Noteholder is deemed to have an interest in any assets of the Depositor or any Affiliate of the Depositor other than the Issuing Entity, each Noteholder agrees that (i) its claim against any such other assets shall be, and hereby is, subject and subordinate in all respects to the rights of other Persons to whom rights in the other assets have been expressly granted, including to the payment in full of all amounts owing to such entitled Persons, and (ii) the covenant set forth in the preceding clause (i) constitutes a “subordination agreement” within the meaning of, and subject to, Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code.

Ex. C-5-8

Except a Noteholder which is considered for federal income tax purposes the issuer of the Class D Note (or is disregarded as an entity separate from such issuer), each Noteholder, by acceptance of a Class D Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Class D Note, expresses its intention that this Class D Note qualifies under applicable tax law as indebtedness secured by the Collateral and, unless otherwise required by appropriate taxing authorities, agrees to treat the Class D Notes as indebtedness secured by the Collateral for the purpose of federal income taxes (to the extent the Class D Notes are treated as beneficially owned by a person other than Ally Bank or its affiliates), state and local income and franchise taxes, and any other taxes imposed upon, measured by or based upon gross or net income.

Each Class D Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Class D Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Class D Note, acknowledges and agrees that the purpose of Article XII of the Indenture is to facilitate compliance with the FDIC Rule by the Seller, the Depositor, the Servicer and the Issuing Entity and that the interpretations of the requirements of the FDIC Rule may change over time, whether due to interpretive guidance provided by the FDIC or its staff, consensus among participants in the asset-backed securities markets, advice of counsel, or otherwise, and agrees that the provisions set forth in Article XII of the Indenture shall have the effect and meanings that are appropriate under the FDIC Rule as such meanings change over time on the basis of evolving interpretations of the FDIC Rule.

Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of this Class D Note, the Issuing Entity, the Indenture Trustee and any agent of the Issuing Entity or the Indenture Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Class D Note (as of the day of determination or as of such other date as may be specified in the Indenture) is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Class D Note shall be overdue, and none of the Issuing Entity, the Indenture Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Issuing Entity and the rights of the Noteholders under the Indenture at any time by the Issuing Entity with the consent of the Holders of Notes representing a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of Notes representing specified percentages of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class, on behalf of the Holders of all the Class D Notes, to waive compliance by the Issuing Entity with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Class D Note (or any one of more Predecessor Notes) shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Class D Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Class D Note. The Indenture also permits the Indenture Trustee to amend or waive certain terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture without the consent of the Noteholders.

The term “Issuing Entity” as used in this Class D Note includes any successor to the Issuing Entity under the Indenture.

Ex. C-5-9

The Issuing Entity is permitted by the Indenture, under certain circumstances, to merge or consolidate, subject to the rights of the Indenture Trustee and the Holders of Notes under the Indenture.

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

This Class D Note and the Indenture shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without reference to its conflict of law provisions, and the obligations, rights and remedies of the parties hereunder and thereunder shall be determined in accordance with such laws.

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Class D Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuing Entity, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Class D Note at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency herein prescribed.

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, except as expressly provided in the Basic Documents, neither the Depositor, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee nor the Owner Trustee in their respective individual capacities, any owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuing Entity, nor any of their respective partners, beneficiaries, agents, officers, directors, employees or successors or assigns, shall be personally liable for, nor shall recourse be had to any of them for, the payment of principal of or interest on, or performance of, or omission to perform, any of the covenants, obligations or indemnifications contained in this Class D Note or the Indenture, it being expressly understood that said covenants, obligations and indemnifications have been made by the Owner Trustee solely as the Owner Trustee in the assets of the Issuing Entity. The Holder of this Class D Note by the acceptance hereof agrees that, except as expressly provided in the Basic Documents, in the case of an Event of Default under the Indenture, the Holder shall have no claim against any of the foregoing for any deficiency, loss or claim therefrom; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be taken to prevent recourse to, and enforcement against, the assets of the Issuing Entity for any and all liabilities, obligations and undertakings contained in the Indenture or in this Class D Note.

APPENDIX A

Additional Representations and Warranties

1.	This Indenture creates a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the applicable UCC) in the Receivables 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 Issuing Entity.

2.	All steps necessary to perfect the Issuing Entity’s security interest against each Obligor in the property securing the Receivables have been taken.

3.	The Receivables constitute “tangible chattel paper” or “electronic chattel paper” within the meaning of the applicable UCC.

4.	The Issuing Entity owns and has good and marketable title to the Receivables free and clear of any Lien, claim or encumbrance of any Person.

The Issuing Entity has caused or will have caused, within ten (10) days, the filing of all appropriate financing statements in the proper filing office in the appropriate jurisdictions under applicable law in order to perfect the security interest in the Receivables granted to the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture.

Other than the security interest granted to the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture, the Issuing Entity has not pledged, assigned, sold, granted a security interest in, or otherwise conveyed any of the Receivables. The Issuing Entity has not authorized the filing of, nor is the Issuing Entity aware of, any financing statements against the Seller, the Depositor or the Issuing Entity that include a description of collateral covering the Receivables other than the financing statements relating to the security interests granted to the Depositor, the Issuing Entity and the Indenture Trustee under the Basic Documents or any financing statement that has been terminated. The Issuing Entity is not aware of any judgment or tax lien filings against the Seller, the Depositor or the Issuing Entity.

The Custodian has in its possession or with other third party vendors all original copies (or, with respect to Receivables that are “electronic chattel paper,” authoritative copies) of the Receivables Files and other documents that constitute or evidence the Receivables. The Receivables Files and other documents that constitute or evidence the Receivables that are “tangible chattel paper” do not have any marks or notations indicating that they have been pledged, assigned or otherwise conveyed to any Person other than the Depositor. All financing statements filed or to be filed against the Issuing Entity in favor of the Indenture Trustee in connection herewith describing the Receivables contain a statement to the following effect: “A purchase of or security interest in any collateral described in this financing statement will violate the rights of the Indenture Trustee.”
