(a)     The Servicer shall establish and maintain with the Paying Agent, in the name of the Indenture Trustee, for the benefit of the Class A Noteholders, the Class B Noteholders and the Class C Noteholders, an Eligible Deposit Account (the “Spread Account”) bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Class A Noteholders, the Class B Noteholders and the Class C Noteholders.

The Indenture Trustee shall possess all right, title and interest in all funds on deposit from time to time in the Spread Account and in all proceeds thereof. The Spread Account shall be under the sole dominion and control of the Indenture Trustee. If at any time the Spread Account ceases to be an Eligible Deposit Account, the Indenture Trustee (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall within 10 Business Days (or such longer period, not to exceed 30 calendar days, as to which the Rating Agency shall consent) establish a new Spread Account meeting the conditions specified above as an Eligible Deposit Account, and shall transfer any cash or any investments to such new Spread Account.

(b)     Funds on deposit in the Spread Account shall be invested at the written direction of the Servicer by the Indenture Trustee in Eligible Investments. In no event shall the Indenture Trustee be liable for the selection of Eligible Investments or for investment losses incurred thereon. The Indenture Trustee shall have no liability in respect of losses incurred as a result of the liquidation of any Eligible Investment prior to its stated maturity or the failure of the Servicer to provide timely written investment direction. The Indenture Trustee shall have no obligation to invest or reinvest any amounts held hereunder in the absence of written investment direction. Funds on deposit in the Spread Account on any Transfer Date, after giving effect to any withdrawals from the Spread Account on such Transfer Date, shall be invested in such investments that will mature so that such funds will be available for withdrawal on or prior to the following Transfer Date. The Indenture Trustee shall hold such Eligible Investments as provided in Section 6.15 of the Indenture. No such Eligible Investment shall be disposed of prior to its maturity; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee may sell, liquidate or dispose of any such Eligible Investment before its maturity, at the written direction of the Servicer, if such sale, liquidation or disposal would not result in a loss of all or part of the principal portion of such Eligible Investment or if, prior to the maturity of such Eligible Investment, a default occurs in the payment of principal, interest or any other amount with respect to such Eligible Investment. On each Distribution Date, all interest and earnings (net of losses and investment expenses) accrued since the preceding Distribution Date on funds on deposit in the Spread Account shall be retained in the Spread Account (to the extent that the Available Spread Account Amount is less than the Required Spread Account Amount) and the balance, if any, shall be deposited in the Collection Account and treated as Collections of Finance Charge Receivables allocable to Series 2018-One. Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence with respect to investment earnings retained in the Spread Account, for purposes of determining the availability of funds or the balance in the Spread Account for any reason under this Supplement, investment earnings on such funds shall be deemed not to be available or on deposit.

 

(c)     On each Transfer Date, the excess, if any, of the amounts payable pursuant to subsections 4.04(a)(i)–(vi) over the Available Finance Charge Collections available to pay such amounts (any such positive amount, the “Spread Account Draw Amount”), shall be withdrawn from the Spread Account by the Paying Agent (acting in accordance with the servicing report prepared pursuant to subsection 5.02(a)(i)), and deposited in the Collection Account to be applied as Available Funds. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary in this Section 4.08, if an Event of Default shall have occurred with respect to Series 2018-One and the maturity of the Series 2018-One Notes shall have been accelerated under Section 5.03 of the Indenture, any amounts remaining on deposit in the Spread Account shall be applied first to pay interest and principal on the Class A Notes, second to pay interest and principal on the Class B Notes, and third to pay interest and principal on the Class C Notes, in each case remaining unpaid after application of the proceeds of the sale of the collateral pursuant to Section 5.05 of the Indenture as provided in Section 5.05 of the Indenture.

 

(d)     Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to the Series 2018-One Notes and acceleration of the maturity of the Series 2018-One Notes under Section 5.03 of the Indenture, in the event that the Spread Account Surplus on any Distribution Date, after giving effect to all deposits to and withdrawals from the Spread Account with respect to such Distribution Date, is greater than zero, the Indenture Trustee, acting in accordance with the written instructions of the Servicer, shall withdraw from the Spread Account and pay to the Issuer for distribution pursuant to the Trust Agreement, an amount equal to such Spread Account Surplus.

[REVERSE OF NOTE]

 

This Class A Note is one of the Notes of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Issuer, designated as its Class A Series 2018-One Asset Backed Notes (herein called the “Class A Notes”), all issued under a Master Indenture, dated as of November 9, 2018 (such indenture, as amended to the date hereof and as supplemented by the Series 2018-One Indenture Supplement, dated as of November 9, 2018, among the parties to the Master Indenture (the “Indenture Supplement”), is herein called the “Indenture”), among the Issuer, Access Financing, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company, as Servicer, and U.S. Bank National Association, a national banking association, as indenture trustee (the “Indenture Trustee,” which term includes any successor Indenture 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 Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Holders of the Class A Notes.  The Class A Notes are subject to all terms of the Indenture.  All terms used in this Class A Note that are not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in or pursuant to the Indenture, as supplemented or amended.

 

The Class A Notes are and will be equally and ratably entitled to the benefits of the Indenture without preference, priority or distinction, all in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Indenture.

 

Payments of interest on and principal of this Class A Note due and payable on any Distribution Date, to the extent not in full payment of this Class A Note, shall be made by wire transfer to the Person whose name appears as the registered Holder of this Class A Note (or one or more predecessor Class A Notes) on the Note Register as of the close of business on each Record Date (the “Registered Holder”), except that with respect to Class A Notes registered on the Record Date in the name of the nominee of the Clearing Agency (initially, such nominee to be Cede & Co.), payments will be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account designated by such nominee.  Such wire transfer shall be made to the Person entitled thereto at the account specified by such Person as it appears on the Note Register as of the applicable Record Date without requiring that this Class A Note be submitted for notation of payment.  Any reduction in the principal amount of this Class A Note (or any one or more predecessor Class A Notes) effected by any payments made on any Distribution Date shall be binding upon all future Holders of this Class A Note and of any Class A Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not noted hereon. 

 

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations set forth therein, the transfer of this Class A Note may be registered on the Note Register upon surrender of this Class A Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency designated by the Issuer pursuant to the Indenture, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Note Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing, and such other documents as the Note Registrar may reasonably require, and thereupon one or more new Notes of authorized denominations and in the same aggregate principal amount will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.  No service charge will be charged for any registration of transfer or exchange of this Class A Note, but the Note Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any such registration of transfer or exchange.

 

Any interest in a Class A Note evidenced by this Temporary Regulation S Global Note is exchangeable for an interest in a Permanent Regulation S Global Note upon the later of (i) the Release Date and (ii) the furnishing of a Regulation S Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G to the Indenture Supplement.

 

A-2-7

 

 

On or prior to the Release Date, each beneficial owner of a Temporary Regulation S Global Note shall deliver to the Euroclear Operator or Clearstream (as applicable) a Regulation S Certificate; provided, however, that any beneficial owner of a Temporary Regulation S Global Note on the Release Date or on any Distribution Date that has previously delivered a Regulation S Certificate hereunder shall not be required to deliver any subsequent Regulation S Certificate (unless the certificate previously delivered is no longer true as of such subsequent date, in which case such beneficial owner shall promptly notify the Euroclear Operator or Clearstream, as applicable, thereof and shall deliver an updated Regulation S Certificate).  The Euroclear Operator and/or Clearstream, as applicable, shall deliver to the Paying Agent or the Indenture Trustee a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F (a “Non-U.S. Certificate”) to the Indenture Supplement promptly upon the receipt of each such Regulation S Certificate, and no such beneficial owner (or transferee from such beneficial owner) shall be entitled to receive an interest in a Permanent Regulation S Global Note or any payment of principal or interest on or any other payment with respect to its beneficial interest in a Temporary Regulation S Global Note prior to the Paying Agent or the Indenture Trustee receiving such Non-U.S. Certificate from the Euroclear Operator or Clearstream with respect to the portion of the Temporary Regulation S Global Note owned by such beneficial owner (and, with respect to an interest in the Permanent Regulation S Global Note, prior to the Release Date).

 

Any payments of principal of, interest on or any other payment on a Temporary Regulation S Global Note received by the Euroclear Operator or Clearstream with respect to any portion of such Regulation S Global Note owned by a beneficial owner of a Class A Global Note that has not delivered the Regulation S Certificate required by Section 9.05 of the Indenture Supplement shall be held by the Euroclear Operator and Clearstream solely as agents for the Paying Agent and the Indenture Trustee.  The Euroclear Operator and Clearstream shall remit such payments to the applicable beneficial owner of a Class A Global Note (or to a Euroclear System or Clearstream member on behalf of such beneficial owner of a Class A Global Note) only after the Euroclear Operator or Clearstream has received the requisite Regulation S Certificate.  Until the Paying Agent or the Indenture Trustee has received a Non-U.S. Certificate from the Euroclear Operator or Clearstream, as applicable, the Paying Agent or the Indenture Trustee may revoke the right of the Euroclear Operator or Clearstream, as applicable, to hold any payments made with respect to such portion of such Temporary Regulation S Global Note.  If the Paying Agent or the Indenture Trustee exercises its right of revocation pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, the Euroclear Operator or Clearstream, as applicable, shall return such payments to the Paying Agent or the Indenture Trustee and the Indenture Trustee shall hold such payments in the Collection Account until the Euroclear Operator or Clearstream, as applicable, has provided the necessary Non-U.S. Certificates to the Paying Agent or the Indenture Trustee (at which time the Paying Agent shall forward such payments to the Euroclear Operator or Clearstream, as applicable, to be remitted to the beneficial owner of a Class A Global Note that is entitled thereto on the records of the Euroclear Operator or Clearstream (or on the records of their respective members)).

 

A-2-8

 

 

Each beneficial owner of a Class A Global Note with respect to a Temporary Regulation S Global Note shall exchange its interest therein for an interest in a Permanent Regulation S Global Note on or after the Release Date upon furnishing to the Euroclear Operator or Clearstream (as applicable) the Regulation S Certificate and upon receipt by the Paying Agent or the Indenture Trustee, as applicable, of the Non-U.S. Certificate from the Euroclear Operator or Clearstream, as applicable, in each case pursuant to the terms of Section 9.05 of the Indenture Supplement.  On and after the Release Date, upon receipt by the Paying Agent or the Indenture Trustee of any Non-U.S. Certificate from the Euroclear Operator or Clearstream described in the immediately preceding sentence (i) with respect to the first such certification, the Issuer shall execute, upon receipt of an order to authenticate, and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate the applicable Permanent Regulation S Global Note and (ii) with respect to the first and all subsequent certifications, the Indenture Trustee shall exchange on behalf of the applicable beneficial owners the portion of the applicable Temporary Regulation S Global Note covered by such certification for a comparable portion of the applicable Permanent Regulation S Global Note.  Upon any exchange of a portion of a Temporary Regulation S Global Note for a comparable portion of a Permanent Regulation S Global Note, the Indenture Trustee shall endorse on the schedules affixed to each of such Regulation S Global Notes (or on continuations of such schedules affixed to each of such Regulation S Global Notes and made parts thereof) appropriate notations evidencing the date of transfer and (x) with respect to the Temporary Regulation S Global Note, a decrease in the principal amount thereof equal to the amount covered by the applicable certification and (y) with respect to the Permanent Regulation S Global Note, an increase in the principal amount thereof equal to the principal amount of the decrease in the Temporary Regulation S Global Note pursuant to clause (x) above.

 

If a holder of a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note wishes at any time to exchange its interest in the Regulation S Global Note for an interest in the Rule 144A Global Note, or to transfer its interest in the Regulation S Global Note to a person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of an interest in the Rule 144A Global Note, such holder may, subject to the rules and procedures of the Euroclear System or Clearstream and the Clearing Agency, as the case may be, and to the requirements set forth in the following sentence, exchange or cause the exchange or transfer or cause the transfer of such interest for an equivalent beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Note.  Upon receipt by the Indenture Trustee, as transfer agent, of (1) instructions given in accordance with the procedures of the Euroclear System or Clearstream and the Clearing Agency, as the case may be, from or on behalf of a beneficial owner of the Regulation S Global Note directing the Indenture Trustee, as transfer agent, to credit or cause to be credited a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Note in an amount equal to the beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note to be exchanged or transferred, (2) a written order given in accordance with the procedures of the Euroclear System or Clearstream and the Clearing Agency, as the case may be, containing information regarding the account with the Clearing Agency to be credited with such increase and the name of such account, and (3) prior to the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period, a certificate given by such beneficial owner stating that the person transferring such interest in such Regulation S Global Note reasonably believes that the person acquiring such interest in the Rule 144A Global Note is a QIB and is obtaining such beneficial interest for its own account or the account of a QIB in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A and any applicable securities laws of any state of the United States or any other jurisdiction, the Indenture Trustee, as transfer agent, shall promptly deliver (via DWAC) appropriate instructions to the Clearing Agency, its nominee, or the custodian for the Clearing Agency, as the case may be, to reduce or reflect on its records a reduction of the Regulation S Global Note by the aggregate principal amount of the beneficial interest in such Regulation S Global Note to be exchanged or transferred, and the Indenture Trustee, as transfer agent, shall promptly deliver (via DWAC) appropriate instructions to the Clearing Agency, its nominee, or the custodian for the Clearing Agency, as the case may be, concurrently with such reduction, to increase or reflect on its records an increase of the principal amount of the Rule 144A Global Note by the aggregate principal amount of the beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note to be so exchanged or transferred, and to credit or cause to be credited to the account of the person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Note equal to the reduction in the principal amount of the Regulation S Global Note.  After the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period, the certification requirement set forth in clause (3) of the second sentence of this paragraph will no longer apply to such exchanges and transfers.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Indenture Trustee may conclusively rely upon the completed schedule set forth in the certificate evidencing the Class A Global Notes.

 

A-2-9

 

 

Until the later of the Release Date and the provision of the certifications required by Section 9.05 of the Indenture Supplement, beneficial interests in a Regulation S Global Note may only be held through the Euroclear System or Clearstream or another agent member of the Euroclear System or Clearstream acting for and on behalf of them.  During the Distribution Compliance Period, interests in the Regulation S Global Note may be exchanged for interests in the Rule 144A Global Note only in accordance with the certification requirements described above.

 

On any redemption, purchase, exchange or cancellation of any of the Class A Notes represented by this Temporary Regulation S Global Note, details of such redemption, purchase, exchange or cancellation shall be entered by the Paying Agent in Schedule A hereto recording any such redemption, purchase, exchange or cancellation and shall be signed on by or on behalf of the Issuer.  Upon any such redemption, purchase, exchange or cancellation, the principal amount of this Temporary Regulation S Global Note and the Notes represented by this Permanent Regulation S Global Note shall be reduced or increased, as appropriate, by the principal amount so redeemed, purchased, exchanged or cancelled.

 

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

 

Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of this Class A Note, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Authentication Agent, the Note Registrar and any agent of the foregoing shall treat the Person in whose name this Class A 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 Note be overdue, and neither the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Authentication Agent, the Note Registrar nor any such agent of the foregoing shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

 

A-2-10

 

 

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Issuer and the rights of the Holders of the Class A Notes under the Indenture at any time by the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee with the consent of a majority of Holders of the Class A Notes.  The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of Series 2018-One Notes representing specified percentages of the aggregate principal balance of the Series 2018-One Notes, on behalf of the Holders of all the Series 2018-One Notes, to waive compliance by the Issuer 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 Note (or any one of more predecessor Class A Notes) shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Class A Note and of any Class A 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 Note.  The Indenture also permits, subject to the conditions set forth in the Indenture, the Indenture Trustee to amend or waive certain terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture without the consent of Holders of the Notes issued thereunder or without the consent of holders of Series of Notes not affected thereby.

The Class A Notes are and will be equally and ratably entitled to the benefits of the Indenture without preference, priority or distinction, all in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Indenture.

 

Payments of interest on and principal of this Class A Note due and payable on any Distribution Date, to the extent not in full payment of this Class A Note, shall be made by wire transfer to the Person whose name appears as the registered Holder of this Class A Note (or one or more predecessor Class A Notes) on the Note Register as of the close of business on each Record Date (the “Registered Holder”), except that with respect to Class A Notes registered on the Record Date in the name of the nominee of the Clearing Agency (initially, such nominee to be Cede & Co.), payments will be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account designated by such nominee.  Such wire transfer shall be made to the Person entitled thereto at the account specified by such Person as it appears on the Note Register as of the applicable Record Date without requiring that this Class A Note be submitted for notation of payment.  Any reduction in the principal amount of this Class A Note (or any one or more predecessor Class A Notes) effected by any payments made on any Distribution Date shall be binding upon all future Holders of this Class A Note and of any Class A Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not noted hereon.  Any final payment shall be made in accordance with provisions of the Indenture.

 

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations set forth therein, the transfer of this Class A Note may be registered on the Note Register upon surrender of this Class A Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency designated by the Issuer pursuant to the Indenture, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Note Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing, and such other documents as the Note Registrar may reasonably require, and thereupon one or more new Notes of authorized denominations and in the same aggregate principal amount will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.  No service charge will be charged for any registration of transfer or exchange of this Class A Note, but the Note Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any such registration of transfer or exchange.

 

A-3-7

 

 

On any redemption, purchase, exchange or cancellation of any of the Notes represented by this Permanent Regulation S Global Note, details of such redemption, purchase, exchange or cancellation shall be entered by the Paying Agent in Schedule A hereto recording any such redemption, purchase, exchange or cancellation and shall be signed on by or on behalf of the Issuer.  Upon any such redemption, purchase, exchange or cancellation, the principal amount of this Permanent Regulation S Global Note and the Notes represented by this Permanent Regulation S Global Note shall be reduced or increased, as appropriate, by the principal amount so redeemed, purchased, exchanged or cancelled.

 

If a holder of a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note wishes at any time to exchange its interest in the Regulation S Global Note for an interest in the Rule 144A Global Note, or to transfer its interest in the Regulation S Global Note to a person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of an interest in the Rule 144A Global Note, such holder may, subject to the rules and procedures of the Euroclear System or Clearstream and the Clearing Agency, as the case may be, and to the requirements set forth in the following sentence, exchange or cause the exchange or transfer or cause the transfer of such interest for an equivalent beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Note.  Upon receipt by the Indenture Trustee, as transfer agent, of (1) instructions given in accordance with the procedures of the Euroclear System or Clearstream and the Clearing Agency, as the case may be, from or on behalf of a beneficial owner of the Regulation S Global Note directing the Indenture Trustee, as transfer agent, to credit or cause to be credited a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Note in an amount equal to the beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note to be exchanged or transferred, (2) a written order given in accordance with the procedures of the Euroclear System or Clearstream and the Clearing Agency, as the case may be, containing information regarding the account with the Clearing Agency to be credited with such increase and the name of such account, and (3) prior to the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period, a certificate given by such beneficial owner stating that the person transferring such interest in such Regulation S Global Note reasonably believes that the person acquiring such interest in the Rule 144A Global Note is a QIB and is obtaining such beneficial interest for its own account or the account of a QIB in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A and any applicable securities laws of any state of the United States or any other jurisdiction, the Indenture Trustee, as transfer agent, shall promptly deliver (via DWAC) appropriate instructions to the Clearing Agency, its nominee, or the custodian for the Clearing Agency, as the case may be, to reduce or reflect on its records a reduction of the Regulation S Global Note by the aggregate principal amount of the beneficial interest in such Regulation S Global Note to be exchanged or transferred, and the Indenture Trustee, as transfer agent, shall promptly deliver (via DWAC) appropriate instructions to the Clearing Agency, its nominee, or the custodian for the Clearing Agency, as the case may be, concurrently with such reduction, to increase or reflect on its records an increase of the principal amount of the Rule 144A Global Note by the aggregate principal amount of the beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note to be so exchanged or transferred, and to credit or cause to be credited to the account of the person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Note equal to the reduction in the principal amount of the Regulation S Global Note.  After the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period, the certification requirement set forth in clause (3) of the second sentence of this paragraph will no longer apply to such exchanges and transfers.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Indenture Trustee may conclusively rely upon the completed schedule set forth in the certificate evidencing the Class A Global Notes.

 

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

[REVERSE OF NOTE]

 

This Class B Note is one of the Notes of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Issuer, designated as its Class B Series 2018-One Asset Backed Notes (herein called the “Class B Notes”), all issued under a Master Indenture, dated as of November 9, 2018 (such indenture, as amended to the date hereof and as supplemented by the Series 2018-One Indenture Supplement, dated as of November 9, 2018, among the parties to the Master Indenture (the “Indenture Supplement”), is herein called the “Indenture”), among the Issuer, Access Financing, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company, as Servicer, and U.S. Bank National Association, a national banking association, as indenture trustee (the “Indenture Trustee,” which term includes any successor Indenture 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 Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Holders of the Class B Notes.  The Class B Notes are subject to all terms of the Indenture.  All terms used in this Class B Note that are not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in or pursuant to the Indenture, as supplemented or amended.

 

The Class B Notes are and will be equally and ratably entitled to the benefits of the Indenture without preference, priority or distinction, all in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Indenture.

 

Payments of interest on and principal of this Class B Note due and payable on any Distribution Date, to the extent not in full payment of this Class B Note, shall be made by wire transfer to the Person whose name appears as the registered Holder of this Class B Note (or one or more predecessor Class B Notes) on the Note Register as of the close of business on each Record Date (the “Registered Holder”), except that with respect to Class B Notes registered on the Record Date in the name of the nominee of the Clearing Agency (initially, such nominee to be Cede & Co.), payments will be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account designated by such nominee.  Such wire transfer shall be made to the Person entitled thereto at the account specified by such Person as it appears on the Note Register as of the applicable Record Date without requiring that this Class B Note be submitted for notation of payment.  Any reduction in the principal amount of this Class B Note (or any one or more predecessor Class B Notes) effected by any payments made on any Distribution Date shall be binding upon all future Holders of this Class B Note and of any Class B Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not noted hereon. 

 

B-2-8

 

 

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations set forth therein, the transfer of this Class B Note may be registered on the Note Register upon surrender of this Class B Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency designated by the Issuer pursuant to the Indenture, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Note Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing, and such other documents as the Note Registrar may reasonably require, and thereupon one or more new Notes of authorized denominations and in the same aggregate principal amount will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.  No service charge will be charged for any registration of transfer or exchange of this Class B Note, but the Note Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any such registration of transfer or exchange.

 

Any interest in a Class B Note evidenced by this Temporary Regulation S Global Note is exchangeable for an interest in a Permanent Regulation S Global Note upon the later of (i) the Release Date and (ii) the furnishing of a Regulation S Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G to the Indenture Supplement.

 

On or prior to the Release Date, each beneficial owner of a Temporary Regulation S Global Note shall deliver to the Euroclear Operator or Clearstream (as applicable) a Regulation S Certificate; provided, however, that any beneficial owner of a Temporary Regulation S Global Note on the Release Date or on any Distribution Date that has previously delivered a Regulation S Certificate hereunder shall not be required to deliver any subsequent Regulation S Certificate (unless the certificate previously delivered is no longer true as of such subsequent date, in which case such beneficial owner shall promptly notify the Euroclear Operator or Clearstream, as applicable, thereof and shall deliver an updated Regulation S Certificate).  The Euroclear Operator and/or Clearstream, as applicable, shall deliver to the Paying Agent or the Indenture Trustee a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F (a “Non-U.S. Certificate”) to the Indenture Supplement promptly upon the receipt of each such Regulation S Certificate, and no such beneficial owner (or transferee from such beneficial owner) shall be entitled to receive an interest in a Permanent Regulation S Global Note or any payment of principal or interest on or any other payment with respect to its beneficial interest in a Temporary Regulation S Global Note prior to the Paying Agent or the Indenture Trustee receiving such Non-U.S. Certificate from the Euroclear Operator or Clearstream with respect to the portion of the Temporary Regulation S Global Note owned by such beneficial owner (and, with respect to an interest in the Permanent Regulation S Global Note, prior to the Release Date).

 

Any payments of principal of, interest on or any other payment on a Temporary Regulation S Global Note received by the Euroclear Operator or Clearstream with respect to any portion of such Regulation S Global Note owned by a beneficial owner of a Class B Global Note that has not delivered the Regulation S Certificate required by Section 9.05 of the Indenture Supplement shall be held by the Euroclear Operator and Clearstream solely as agents for the Paying Agent and the Indenture Trustee.  The Euroclear Operator and Clearstream shall remit such payments to the applicable beneficial owner of a Class B Global Note (or to a Euroclear System or Clearstream member on behalf of such beneficial owner of a Class B Global Note) only after the Euroclear Operator or Clearstream has received the requisite Regulation S Certificate.  Until the Paying Agent or the Indenture Trustee has received a Non-U.S. Certificate from the Euroclear Operator or Clearstream, as applicable, the Paying Agent or the Indenture Trustee may revoke the right of the Euroclear Operator or Clearstream, as applicable, to hold any payments made with respect to such portion of such Temporary Regulation S Global Note.  If the Paying Agent or the Indenture Trustee exercises its right of revocation pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, the Euroclear Operator or Clearstream, as applicable, shall return such payments to the Paying Agent or the Indenture Trustee and the Indenture Trustee shall hold such payments in the Collection Account until the Euroclear Operator or Clearstream, as applicable, has provided the necessary Non-U.S. Certificates to the Paying Agent or the Indenture Trustee (at which time the Paying Agent shall forward such payments to the Euroclear Operator or Clearstream, as applicable, to be remitted to the beneficial owner of a Class B Global Note that is entitled thereto on the records of the Euroclear Operator or Clearstream (or on the records of their respective members)).

 

B-2-9

 

 

Each beneficial owner of a Class B Global Note with respect to a Temporary Regulation S Global Note shall exchange its interest therein for an interest in a Permanent Regulation S Global Note on or after the Release Date upon furnishing to the Euroclear Operator or Clearstream (as applicable) the Regulation S Certificate and upon receipt by the Paying Agent or the Indenture Trustee, as applicable, of the Non-U.S. Certificate from the Euroclear Operator or Clearstream, as applicable, in each case pursuant to the terms of Section 9.05 of the Indenture Supplement.  On and after the Release Date, upon receipt by the Paying Agent or the Indenture Trustee of any Non-U.S. Certificate from the Euroclear Operator or Clearstream described in the immediately preceding sentence (i) with respect to the first such certification, the Issuer shall execute, upon receipt of an order to authenticate, and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate the applicable Permanent Regulation S Global Note and (ii) with respect to the first and all subsequent certifications, the Indenture Trustee shall exchange on behalf of the applicable beneficial owners the portion of the applicable Temporary Regulation S Global Note covered by such certification for a comparable portion of the applicable Permanent Regulation S Global Note.  Upon any exchange of a portion of a Temporary Regulation S Global Note for a comparable portion of a Permanent Regulation S Global Note, the Indenture Trustee shall endorse on the schedules affixed to each of such Regulation S Global Notes (or on continuations of such schedules affixed to each of such Regulation S Global Notes and made parts thereof) appropriate notations evidencing the date of transfer and (x) with respect to the Temporary Regulation S Global Note, a decrease in the principal amount thereof equal to the amount covered by the applicable certification and (y) with respect to the Permanent Regulation S Global Note, an increase in the principal amount thereof equal to the principal amount of the decrease in the Temporary Regulation S Global Note pursuant to clause (x) above.

4.        The Transferee acknowledges that the interests in the Class C Notes (and any other interests in the Issuer other than the Series 2018-One Notes that are not Class C Notes) may at no time be held by more than 66 persons.   No transfer of a Class C Note (or any interest therein) will be permitted to the extent that such transfer could cause the number of direct or indirect holders of an interest in the Class C Notes (and any other interests in the Issuer other than Series 2018-One Notes that are not Class C Notes) to exceed a number equal to 66 persons. The provisions of the Indenture and the Supplement regarding transfer restrictions on the Class C Notes are generally intended to prevent the Issuer from being characterized as a “publicly traded partnership” within the meaning of Section 7704 of the Code, in reliance on Treasury Regulations Sections 1.7704-1.

 

5.         The Transferee acknowledges that no transfer of Class C Notes (or any interest therein) will be permitted to the extent that such transfer could cause the number of direct or indirect holders of an interest in the Class C Notes and other Series 2018-One Notes (and any other interests in the Issuer other than Series 2018-One Notes that are not Class C Notes) to exceed a number equal to 95 persons. The Note Registrar shall have the duty and obligation to ascertain the number of direct or indirect holders of an interest in the Class C Notes.

 

6.         The Transferee represents and warrants that it (a) is not, and will not become, a partnership, a corporation taxed under Subchapter S of the Code or a grantor trust for U.S. federal income tax purposes (or a disregarded entity the single owner of which is any of the foregoing) or (b) is such an entity, but (x) no more than 50% of the value of any of the direct or indirect beneficial interests in such transferee (or in the case of a disregarded entity, the interests of its single owner) is or will be attributable to such transferee’s (or in the case of a disregarded entity, the single owner’s) interest in the Class C Notes and (y) it is not and will not be a principal purpose of the arrangement involving such entity’s beneficial interest in any Class C Notes to permit any partnership to satisfy the 100 partner limitation of Treasury Regulation Section 1.7704-1(h)(1)(ii) necessary for such partnership not to be classified as a publicly traded partnership under the Code.

 

7.         The Transferee acknowledges that it is not acquiring nor shall it transfer any Class C Note (or any interest therein) or cause any Class C Note (or any interest therein) to be marketed on or through an “established securities market” within the meaning of Section 7704(b)(1) of the Code, including, without limitation, an over-the-counter market or an interdealer quotation system that regularly disseminates firm buy or sell quotations.

 

8.         The Transferee’s interest in the Class C Note is not and will not be in an amount that is less than $250,000, and the Transferee does not and will not hold any interest on behalf of any person whose beneficial interest in such Note is in an amount that is less than $250,000.

 

9.         The Transferee will not sell, assign, transfer, pledge or otherwise dispose of any Class C Note or beneficial interest therein, or enter into any financial instrument or contract the value of which is determined by reference in whole or in part to any such Note or beneficial interest therein, in each case if the effect of doing so would be that the beneficial interest of any person in the Class C Note would be in an amount that is less than the minimum denomination for such Notes as set forth in the Supplement.

 

10.       The Transferee agrees to treat, or, if different, cause the beneficial owner of its Class C Notes to treat, its Class C Notes in a manner consistent with the intended characterization referred to in Section 3.16 of the Indenture.  If any Class C Note held by the Transferee is required to be treated other than as described under Section 3.16 of the Indenture, then the Transferee, on behalf of itself or, if different, any beneficial owner of such Class C Note, hereby agrees to the designation of the Seller as the partnership representative of any partnership in which such Transferee or beneficial owner is deemed to be a partner under Section 6223(a) of the Amended Partnership Audit Rules and any applicable Treasury Regulations thereunder.

 

D-4

 

 

11.       The Transferee agrees to provide to the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Issuer any further information required by the Issuer to comply with the Amended Partnership Audit Rules, including Section 6226(a) of the Amended Partnership Audit Rules, (B) if such Transferee is not the beneficial owner of such Class C Note, the beneficial owner of such Class C Note will provide to the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Issuer any further information required by the Issuer to comply with the Amended Partnership Audit Rules, including Section 6226(a) of the Amended Partnership Audit Rules and, to the extent the Issuer determines such appointment necessary for it to make an election under Section 6226(a) of the Amended Partnership Audit Rules, hereby appoints the Transferee as its agent for purposes of receiving any notifications or information pursuant to the notice requirements under Section 6226(a)(2) of the Amended Partnership Audit Rules and (C) to the extent applicable, the Transferee and, if different, each beneficial owner of a Class C Note shall hold the Issuer and its Affiliates harmless for any losses (i) resulting from a beneficial owner of a Class C Note not properly taking into account or paying its allocated adjustment or liability under Section 6226 of the Amended Partnership Audit Rules or (ii) that the Issuer or its Affiliates may suffer due to actions it takes with respect to and to comply with the rules under Sections 6221 through 6241 of the Amended Partnership Audit Rules.

 

12.       The Transferee (and any fiduciary acting on behalf of the Transferee) covenants to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Note Registrar, Paying Agent and the Servicer that for so long as it holds the Class C Notes (or a beneficial interest therein) it is not (and will not be) a Plan (as defined in the Code) and that it is not (and will not be) acquiring or holding such Class C Note (or any interest therein) on behalf of, or with, the assets of, a Plan.

 

13.       The Transferee (i) is a QIB, (ii) is aware that the sale of the Class C Notes to it is being made in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144A, and (iii) is acquiring the Notes for its own account or for one or more accounts, each of which is a QIB, and as to each of which the owner exercises sole investment discretion, and in a principal amount of not less than the minimum denomination of such Class C Note.

 

14.       The Transferee will, in connection with any subsequent resale of the Notes by the Transferee, comply with all applicable United States federal and State securities laws, rules and regulations.

 

15.       The Transferee will provide notice to each person to whom it proposes to transfer any interest in the Class C Notes of the transfer restrictions and representations set forth in the Indenture, including the exhibits thereto. Further, the Transferee will not transfer any Class C Note (or any interest therein) unless, prior to the transfer, the person to whom it proposes to transfer any interest in the Class C Notes shall have provided to the Indenture Trustee, the Note Registrar and the Issuer, and any of their respective successors or assigns, a written representation letter substantially in the form hereof.

 

D-5

 

 

16.      The Transferee agrees that any transfer in violation of this Transferee Letter will be of no force and effect, will be void ab initio, and will not operate to transfer any rights to the Transferee, notwithstanding any instructions to the contrary to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Note Registrar or any intermediary. Furthermore, the Transferee agrees that the Issuer may sell any Class C Notes acquired in violation of the above at the cost and risk of the purported owner. If at any time the Issuer determines or is notified that a holder or beneficial owner of a Class C Note, as the case may be, was in breach, at the time given, of any of the representations set forth above, the Issuer may consider the acquisition of such Class C Note or such beneficial interest in such Class C Note void and require that such Class C Note or such beneficial interest therein be transferred to a person designated by the Issuer. If the transferee fails to transfer such Class C Note or such beneficial interests in such Class C Note within 30 days after notice of the voided transfer, then the Issuer shall cause such holder’s interest or beneficial owner’s interest in such Class C Note to be transferred in a commercially reasonable sale arranged by the Issuer (conducted by the Issuer or an agent of the Issuer in accordance with Section 9-610(b) of the UCC as applied to securities that are sold on a recognized market or that may decline speedily in value), subject to satisfaction of the requirements set forth above.

 

 

Very truly yours,
