Except as provided in Section 2.12, owners of beneficial interests in Book-Entry Notes will not be entitled to receive physical delivery of Notes.

(b) The Notes shall be typewritten, printed, lithographed or engraved or produced by any combination of these methods (with or without steel engraved borders), all as determined by the Authorized Officers executing such Notes, as evidenced by their execution of the Notes.

Section 2.02. Execution, Authentication and Delivery.

(a) The Notes shall be executed on behalf of the Issuer by any of its Authorized Officers. The signature of any such Authorized Officer on the Notes may be manual or facsimile. Notes bearing the manual or facsimile signature of individuals who were at any time Authorized Officers of the Issuer shall bind the Issuer, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Notes or did not hold such offices on the date of such Notes.

(b) The Indenture Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Issuer Order, authenticate and deliver for original issue the following aggregate principal amounts of Notes: (i) $65,000,000 of Class A-1 Notes, (ii) $102,000,000 of Class A-2 Notes, (iii) $96,000,000 of Class A-3 Notes, (iv) $97,200,000 of Class A-4 Notes, (v) $27,000,000 of Class B Notes and (vi) $12,800,000 of Class C Notes.

(d) No Note shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose, unless there appears on such Note a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the Indenture Trustee by the manual signature of one of its authorized signatories, and such certificate upon any Note shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Note has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder.

Section 2.03. Temporary Notes.

(a) Pending the preparation of Definitive Notes pursuant to Section 2.12, the Issuer may execute, and upon receipt of an Issuer Order the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Notes that are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, of the tenor of the Definitive Notes in lieu of which they are issued and with such variations not inconsistent with the terms of this Indenture as the officers executing such Notes may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Notes.

(b) If temporary Notes are issued, the Issuer shall cause Definitive Notes to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of Definitive Notes, the temporary Notes shall be exchangeable for Definitive Notes upon surrender of the temporary Notes at the Agency Office, without charge to the surrendering Noteholder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Notes, the Issuer shall execute, and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor, a like tenor and principal amount of Definitive Notes of the same Class or Classes and authorized denominations. Until so exchanged, the temporary Notes shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as Definitive Notes.

Section 2.04. Registration; Registration of Transfer and Exchange.

(a) The Issuer shall cause to be kept a register (the “Note Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as the Issuer may prescribe, the Issuer 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 registrar (the “Note Registrar”) for the purpose of registering the Notes and transfers of the Notes as herein provided. Upon any resignation of the Note Registrar, the Issuer 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 Issuer as Note Registrar, the Issuer shall 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, and to rely upon a certificate executed on behalf of the Note Registrar by an Authorized 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, if the requirements of Section 8-401 of the UCC are met, the Owner Trustee shall execute, on behalf of the Issuer, and the Indenture Trustee

shall authenticate and deliver to the Noteholder making such surrender and the Noteholder shall obtain from the Indenture Trustee, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes of the same Class in any authorized denomination and a like aggregate principal amount.

(d) At the option of a 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, if the requirements of Section 8-401 of the UCC are met, the Owner Trustee shall execute, on behalf of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and the Noteholder shall obtain from the Indenture Trustee, the Notes that the Noteholder making such exchange is entitled to receive.

Every Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall (if so required by the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form and substance satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee, duly executed by the Holder thereof or its attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing.

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

No service charge shall be made to a Noteholder for any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, but the Issuer or Indenture Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 2.03(b) or Section 9.05 not involving any transfer.

(e) The preceding provisions of this Section notwithstanding, the Issuer shall not be required to transfer or make exchanges, and the Note Registrar need not register transfers or exchanges, (i) of Notes that are due for repayment within 15 days of submission to the Corporate Trust Office or the Agency Office or (ii) of Notes selected for redemption.

(f) Each Person to whom a Note is transferred will be required to represent, in the case of a Definitive Note, or deemed to represent, in the case of a Book-Entry Note, that either (i) it is not, and it is not investing on behalf of or with plan assets of (A) an “employee benefit plan” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, which is subject to Title I of ERISA, (B) a “plan” as defined in Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code, which is subject to Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code, (C) an entity deemed to hold “plan assets” of any of the foregoing by reason of investment by an employee benefit plan or plan in such entity, or (D) a governmental, non-U.S. or church plan which is subject to any Similar Law or (ii) the acquisition, holding and disposition of the note will not give rise to a nonexempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code or a non-exempt violation of any Similar Law.

(g) The Indenture Trustee shall not be responsible for ascertaining whether any transfer complies with, or for otherwise monitoring or determining compliance with, the requirements or terms of the Securities Act, applicable State securities laws, ERISA or the Code;

except that if a certificate and other documentation or evidence are specifically required by the terms of this Section to be provided to the Indenture Trustee by a prospective transferor or transferee, the Indenture Trustee shall be under a duty to receive and examine the same to determine whether it conforms substantially on its face as to the applicable requirements of this Section.

(h) Any Notes retained (i.e., held on the Closing Date) by (i) the Issuer or (ii) the single beneficial owner of the Issuer for U.S. federal income tax purposes may not be transferred to another Person (other than a Person that is considered the same Person as the Issuer or its single beneficial owner, as the case may be, for United States federal income tax purposes) unless the Administrator shall cause an Opinion of Counsel to be delivered to the Depositor and the Indenture Trustee at such time stating that (A) such Notes will be treated as debt for United States federal income tax purposes and (B) the sale of such Notes will not cause the Issuer to be taxable as an association or publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation. 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 may be required by the Administrator as a condition to such transfer.

(i) Any purported transfer of a Note not in accordance with this Section shall be null and void and shall not be given effect for any purpose whatsoever.

Section 2.05. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes.

(a) If (i) any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Indenture Trustee, or the Indenture Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, (ii) there is delivered to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee such security or indemnity as may be reasonably required to hold them harmless and (iii) the requirements of Section 8-405 of the UCC are met, then, in the absence of notice to the Issuer, the Note Registrar or the Indenture Trustee that such Note has been acquired by a Protected Purchaser, the Issuer shall execute, and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a replacement Note of like tenor and principal amount; provided, however, that if any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, but not a mutilated Note, shall have become or within 15 days shall be due and payable, or shall have been called for redemption, instead of issuing a replacement Note, the Issuer may pay such destroyed, lost or stolen Note when so due or payable or upon the Redemption Date without surrender thereof. If, after the delivery of such replacement Note or payment of a destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a Protected Purchaser of the original Note in lieu of which such replacement Note was issued presents for payment such original Note, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to recover such replacement Note (or such payment) from the Person to whom such replacement Note was delivered or any Person taking such replacement Note from such Person to whom such replacement Note was delivered or any assignee of such Person, except a Protected Purchaser, and shall be entitled to recover upon the security or indemnity provided therefor to the extent of any loss, damage, cost or expense incurred by the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee in connection therewith.

(b) Upon the issuance of any replacement Note under this Section, the Issuer may require the payment by the Holder of such Note of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other reasonable expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Indenture Trustee) connected therewith.

(c) Every replacement Note issued pursuant to this Section in replacement of any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Issuer, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or wrongfully taken Note shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder.

(d) The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes.

Section 2.06. Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of any Note, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Note Registrar and any agent of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or the Note Registrar may treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered (as of the day of determination) as the owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payments of principal of and interest, if any, on such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note be overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Note Registrar or any agent of the Issuer, the Note Registrar or the Indenture Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

Section 2.07. Payment of Principal and Interest.

(a) The Notes shall accrue interest during each Interest Period at the applicable Interest Rate, calculated in accordance with the terms of the Notes, and shall be payable from amounts deposited in the Collection Account in accordance with Section 5.04(a) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement or Section 5.04(b) hereof. Interest accrued on the Notes during an Interest Period shall be due and payable on the related Payment Date.

(b) The principal of the Notes will be due and payable in accordance with Section 5.04(b) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement or Section 5.04(b) hereof. The principal of the Notes shall also be due and payable as follows: (i) on the Redemption Date, in an amount equal to the outstanding Note Balance, (ii) on the date of acceleration of the maturity of the Notes pursuant to Section 5.02 in the amount of the outstanding Note Balance and (iii) on the related Final Scheduled Payment Date for any Class of Notes to the extent that the Note Balance of such Class of Notes has not been reduced to zero prior to such date, in an amount equal to the Note Balance of such Class of Notes.

(c) Any installment of interest or principal payable with respect to a Note that is punctually paid or duly provided for by the Issuer on the applicable Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note is registered on the related Record Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of any such Noteholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Noteholder shall have provided the Indenture Trustee with wiring instructions no less than two Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent Payment Dates), or otherwise by check mailed to the address of such Noteholder as it appears in

the Note Register; provided, however, that with respect to Book-Entry Notes registered on the applicable Record Date in the name of the nominee of the Clearing Agency (initially, such nominee to be Cede & Co.) for which Definitive Notes have not been issued pursuant to Section 2.12, payment shall be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to Cede & Co., for further credit to the account designated by such Holder. The final distribution on each Note will be made in like manner, but only upon presentation and surrender of such Note at the Corporate Trust Office of the Indenture Trustee or such other location specified in the notice to Noteholders of such final distribution. With respect to Book-Entry Notes for which Definitive Notes have not been issued, such notice shall be sent on the Business Day prior to such Payment Date by facsimile, and with respect to Definitive Notes, such notice shall be sent not later than three Business Days after such Record Date in accordance with Section 11.05, and, in each case, shall specify that such final installment shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of such Note and shall specify the place where such Note may be presented and surrendered for payment of such installment. The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any failure to provide notice to the Noteholders as required pursuant to this subsection to the extent it has not received notice of such expected Final Scheduled Payment Date from the Issuer not later than two Business Days after the Record Date. Notices in connection with redemptions of Notes shall be mailed to Noteholders as provided in Section 10.02. The funds represented by any such checks returned undelivered shall be held in accordance with Section 3.03. The final interest payment on each Class of Notes is due on the date on which the Note Balance of that Class of Notes is reduced to zero (including any Redemption Date and the applicable Final Scheduled Payment Date).

Section 2.08. Cancellation. All Notes surrendered for payment, registration of transfer, exchange or redemption shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Indenture Trustee, be delivered to the Indenture Trustee and shall be promptly cancelled by the Indenture Trustee. The Issuer may at any time deliver to the Indenture Trustee for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated and delivered hereunder that the Issuer may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Notes so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Indenture Trustee. No Notes shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Notes cancelled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All cancelled Notes may be held or disposed of by the Indenture Trustee in accordance with its standard retention or disposal policy as in effect at the time.

Section 2.09. Tax Treatment; Withholding.

(a) The Issuer has entered into this Indenture, and the Notes will be issued, with the intention that, for federal, State and local income, single business and franchise tax purposes, the Notes will qualify as indebtedness secured by the Collateral, and, unless otherwise required by Applicable Law, each Noteholder, by its acceptance of a Note (and each Note Owner by its acceptance of an interest in the applicable Book-Entry Note) agree that, by acquiring any Note or interest therein, that it will not take a position contrary to such treatment. The Issuer, by entering into this Indenture agrees solely for federal, State and local income, single business and franchise tax purposes, (i) to treat the Notes as indebtedness secured by the Collateral and (ii) not to treat the Issuer as an association (or publicly-traded partnership) taxable as a corporation, in each case, unless such treatment has been determined to be contrary to Applicable Law by a decision, judgment, decree or other order by any court of competent jurisdiction, which decision, judgment, decree or other order is final and binding after all appeals allowed by Applicable Law.

(b) In the event that any withholding tax is imposed on payments to a Noteholder, such tax shall reduce the amount otherwise distributable to such Noteholder in accordance with this Section. The Indenture Trustee or the Paying Agent is hereby authorized and directed to retain from amounts otherwise distributable to the Noteholders sufficient funds for the payment of any tax, including FATCA Withholding Tax, that is legally owed with respect to such payment (but such authorization shall not prevent the Indenture Trustee or the Paying Agent from contesting any such tax in appropriate proceedings and withholding payment of such tax, if permitted by Applicable Law, pending the outcome of such proceedings; provided, however, the Indenture Trustee or the Paying Agent shall not be required to contest any tax). The amount of any withholding tax imposed with respect to a Noteholder shall be treated as cash distributed to such Noteholder at the time it is withheld by the Indenture Trustee or the Paying Agent and remitted to the appropriate taxing authority. If there is a possibility that withholding tax is payable with respect to a payment (such as a payment to a non U.S. Noteholder), the Indenture Trustee or the Paying Agent may in its sole discretion withhold such amounts in accordance with this paragraph with no liability therefor.

(c) Prior to the receipt of any interest payment, any Noteholder or its transferee that is a United States person (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall (i) provide the Indenture Trustee and the Paying Agent with IRS Form W-9 (or successor form) or (ii) establish to the satisfaction of the Indenture Trustee and the Paying Agent that it is exempt from backup withholding. Each Noteholder or its transferee agrees by acceptance of a Note that, upon request of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or the Paying Agent, such Noteholder or its transferee will provide the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or the Paying Agent with a supplemental IRS Form W-9 (or successor form) to the extent legally able to do so and that each Noteholder or its transferee shall notify the Indenture Trustee or the Paying Agent should subsequent circumstances render such forms or exemptions incorrect or invalid. The Indenture Trustee and the Paying Agent shall be fully protected in relying upon, and each Noteholder or its transferee by its acceptance of a Note hereunder agrees to indemnify and hold the Indenture Trustee and the Paying Agent harmless against all claims or liability of any kind arising in connection with or related to the Indenture Trustee’s and the Paying Agent’s reliance upon, any documents, forms or information provided by any Noteholder or its transferee to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or the Paying Agent pursuant to this Section.

(d) Prior to the receipt of any interest payment, any Noteholder, and upon transfer, any transferee that is not a United States person (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall provide the Indenture Trustee and the Paying Agent with an applicable IRS Form W-8 (or successor forms). Each Noteholder or transferee agrees by acceptance of a Note that, upon request of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or the Paying Agent, such Noteholder or transferee will provide the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or the Paying Agent with a supplemental applicable IRS Form W-8 (or successor forms) to the extent legally able to do so and that each Noteholder or its transferee shall notify the Indenture Trustee or the Paying Agent should subsequent circumstances render such forms incorrect or invalid. The Indenture Trustee and the Paying Agent shall be fully protected in relying upon, and each Noteholder or its transferee by its acceptance of a Note hereunder agrees to indemnify and hold the Indenture Trustee and the

Paying Agent harmless against all claims or liability of any kind arising in connection with or related to the Indenture Trustee’s and the Paying Agent’s reliance upon, any documents, forms or information provided by any Noteholder or its transferee to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or the Paying Agent pursuant to this Section.

(e) Each holder of a Note or an interest therein, by acceptance of such Note or such interest in such Note, will be deemed to have agreed to provide the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee with the Tax Information. In addition, each holder of a Note or an interest therein will be deemed to understand that the Indenture Trustee and any other agent of the Issuer may withhold interest and principal payable with respect to a Note (without any corresponding gross-up) on any Noteholder or beneficial owner of an interest in a Note that fails to comply with the foregoing requirements.

(f) In order to comply with applicable tax laws (inclusive of rules, regulations and interpretations promulgated by competent authorities) related to the Basic Documents in effect from time to time that a foreign financial institution, issuer, trustee, paying agent or other party is or has agreed to be subject to, the Issuer agrees (i) to provide to the Indenture Trustee and its Affiliates sufficient information about the parties and/or transactions (including any modification to the terms of such transactions) so the Indenture Trustee can determine whether it has tax related obligations under Applicable FATCA Law, (ii) that the Indenture Trustee and its Affiliates shall be entitled to make any withholding or deduction from payments to the extent necessary to comply with Applicable FATCA Law for which the Indenture Trustee and its Affiliates shall not have any liability, and (iii) to hold harmless the Indenture Trustee and its Affiliates for any losses it may suffer due to the actions it takes to comply with the Applicable FATCA Law. The terms of this Section shall survive the termination of this Indenture.

Section 2.10. Book-Entry Notes. Except as provided in Section 2.12, the Notes, upon original issuance, shall be issued in the form of a typewritten Note or Notes representing the Book-Entry Notes, which shall be deposited on behalf of the purchasers of the Notes represented by such Book-Entry Note with the Indenture Trustee, as custodian for DTC, the initial Clearing Agency. The Book-Entry Notes shall be registered initially on the Note Register in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee of the initial Clearing Agency, and no Note Owner will receive a Definitive Note representing such Note Owner’s interest in such Book-Entry Notes, except as provided in Section 2.12. Unless and until Definitive Notes have been issued to Note Owners pursuant to Section 2.12:

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

(b) the Note Registrar, the Paying Agent and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to deal with the Clearing Agency for all purposes of this Indenture (including the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes and the giving of instructions or directions hereunder) as the sole Holder of the Notes, and shall have no obligation to the Note Owners;

(c) to the extent that the provisions of this Section conflict with any other provisions of this Indenture, the provisions of this Section shall control;

(d) the rights of the Note Owners shall be exercised only through the Clearing Agency and shall be limited to those established by Applicable Law and agreements between such Note Owners and the Clearing Agency or the Clearing Agency Participants and, pursuant to the Note Depository Agreement, unless and until Definitive Notes are issued pursuant to Section 2.12, the Clearing Agency shall make book-entry transfers among the Clearing Agency Participants and receive and transmit payments of principal of and interest on the Notes to Clearing Agency Participants; and

(e) whenever this Indenture requires or permits actions to be taken based upon instructions or directions of the Holders of Notes (or the Holders of any Class, including the Controlling Class) evidencing a specified percentage of the Note Balance, the Clearing Agency shall be deemed to represent such percentage only to the extent that it has (i) received written instructions to such effect from Note Owners and/or Clearing Agency Participants owning or representing, respectively, such required percentage of the beneficial interest in the Notes or such Class of 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 the related Note Owners pursuant to Section 2.12, the Indenture Trustee shall give all such notices and communications specified herein to be given to the related Noteholders to the Clearing Agency and shall have no obligation to such Note Owners.

Section 2.12. Definitive Notes. Definitive Notes will be issued only if:

(i) (a) the Clearing Agency is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities with respect to the Book-Entry Notes and (b) the Indenture Trustee is not able to locate a qualified successor; or

(ii) after the occurrence of an Event of Default, owners of Book-Entry Notes representing beneficial interests aggregating not less 51% of the Note Balance of a Class of Notes advise the Indenture Trustee and the Clearing Agency Participant through 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 such Note Owners.

In each case, the Indenture Trustee shall then notify Note Owners of the related Class of Notes through the Clearing Agency of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of Definitive Notes of the related Class of Notes to Note Owners requesting the same.

Upon surrender to the Indenture Trustee of the Notes or Notes representing such Book-Entry Notes by the Clearing Agency, accompanied by registration instructions, the Issuer shall execute and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate the related Definitive Notes in accordance with the instructions of the Clearing Agency. None of the Issuer, 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 fully protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Notes, the Indenture Trustee shall recognize the Holders of such Definitive Notes as Noteholders.

If Definitive Notes are issued and the Indenture Trustee is not the Note Registrar, the Issuer shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Indenture Trustee a list of the names and addresses of the Noteholders (i) as of each Record Date, within five days thereafter and (ii) within 30 days after receipt by the Issuer of a request therefor.

Section 2.13. Depositor as Noteholder. The Depositor, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and, except as otherwise provided herein, may otherwise deal with the Issuer or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not the Depositor.

Section 2.14. Authenticating Agents. Upon the request of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee may appoint one or more Authenticating Agents with power to act on its behalf and subject to its direction in the authentication of Notes in connection with issuance, transfers and exchanges under Sections 2.02, 2.03, 2.05 and 2.06, as fully to all intents and purposes as though each such Authenticating Agent had been expressly authorized by such Sections to authenticate such Notes. For all purposes of this Indenture, the authentication of Notes by an Authenticating Agent pursuant to this Section shall be deemed to be the authentication of Notes “by the Indenture Trustee”.

Any entity into which any Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any entity resulting from any merger, consolidation or conversion to which any Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any entity succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of any Authenticating Agent, shall be the successor of such Authenticating Agent hereunder, without the execution or filing of any document or any further act on the part of the parties hereto or such Authenticating Agent or such successor entity.

The Issuer hereby initially appoints the Indenture Trustee to serve as its agent for the foregoing purposes. Such office will initially be located at the Corporate Trust Office. The Issuer will give prompt written notice to the Indenture Trustee of the location, and of any change in the location, of any such office or agency. If at any time the Issuer shall fail to maintain any such office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Indenture Trustee with the address thereof, such surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office, and the Issuer hereby appoints the Indenture Trustee as its agent to receive all such surrenders, notices and demands.

Subject to Applicable Laws with respect to escheat of funds, any money held by the Indenture Trustee or any Paying Agent in trust for the payment of any amount due with respect to any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such amount has become due and payable shall be discharged from such trust and be paid upon Issuer Request to the Issuer; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Issuer for payment thereof (but only to the extent of the amounts so paid to the Issuer), and all liability of the Indenture Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, shall at the expense and written direction of the Issuer cause to be published once, in a newspaper published in the English language, customarily published on each Business Day and of general circulation in The City of New York, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Issuer.

ARTICLE FIVE

EVENTS OF DEFAULT; REMEDIES

Section 5.01. Events of Default. “Event of Default”, wherever used herein, means any one of the following events (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority):

(a) default in the payment of any interest on any Note of the Controlling Class when the same becomes due and payable, and such default shall continue for a period of five days;

(b) default in the payment of the principal of any Note on the related Final Scheduled Payment Date or the Redemption Date;

(c) any failure by the Issuer to duly observe or perform any of its covenants or agreements or a breach of any of its representations and warranties in this Indenture (other than as specified above in clauses (a) and (b)), which failure has a Material Adverse Effect on the Noteholders and which continues unremedied for a period of 30 days after there shall have been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Issuer by the Depositor or the Indenture Trustee or to the Issuer, the Depositor and the Indenture Trustee, by the Holders of Notes evidencing not less than 25% of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class of Notes, a written notice specifying such default and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder; or

(d) the occurrence of an Insolvency Event with respect to the Issuer.

The Issuer shall promptly (but in any event not later than five Business Days) deliver to the Depositor and the Indenture Trustee written notice in the form of an Officer’s Certificate of any event that with the giving of notice, the lapse of time or both would become an Event of Default under clause (c) above, its status and what action the Issuer is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

Section 5.02. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.

(a) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 5.01(d)), the Indenture Trustee may, or if so requested in writing by the Noteholders representing not less than 51% of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class, shall, declare by written notice to the Issuer all of the Notes to be immediately due and payable, and upon any such declaration (but subject to Section 5.02(b)) the entire outstanding Note Balance, together with accrued interest thereon through the date of acceleration, shall become immediately due and payable as provided in the Notes. If following the occurrence of an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 5.01(d)), the Indenture Trustee has not declared the Notes to be immediately due and payable, the Issuer shall continue to pay interest and principal on the Notes on each Payment Date in accordance with Section 5.04 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, until the Notes are accelerated or until a liquidation, if any, of the

Collateral. If an Event of Default specified in Section 5.01(d) shall have occurred and be continuing, the Notes shall automatically become immediately due and payable without any further action on the part of any Person.

(b) If the Notes have been declared immediately due and payable following an Event of Default, before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Indenture Trustee as provided hereinafter in this Article, the Noteholders representing not less than 51% of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class may, by written notice to the Issuer, the Depositor and the Indenture Trustee, rescind such declaration and annul such consequences if:

(i) the Issuer has paid or deposited with the Indenture Trustee a sum sufficient to pay:

(A) all payments of principal of and interest on all Notes and all other amounts that would then be due hereunder or upon such Notes if the Event of Default giving rise to such acceleration had not occurred; and

(B) all sums paid by the Indenture Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses and disbursements of the Indenture Trustee and its agents and counsel and the reasonable compensation, expenses and disbursements of the Indenture Trustee and its agents and counsel; and

(ii) all Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of the principal of the Notes that has become due solely by such acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 5.12.

No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereto.

Section 5.03. Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Indenture Trustee.

(a) The Issuer covenants that if (i) a default is made in the payment of any interest on any Note of the Controlling Class when the same becomes due and payable, and such default continues for a period of five days, or (ii) a default is made in the payment of the principal of or any installment of the principal of any Note on the related Final Scheduled Payment Date, the Issuer will, upon demand of the Noteholders representing not less than 51% of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class, pay to the Indenture Trustee, for the benefit of the Noteholders, the entire amount then due and payable on such Notes in respect of principal and interest, with interest on the overdue principal at the applicable Interest Rate and, to the extent payment at such rate of interest shall be legally enforceable, on overdue installments of interest at the applicable Interest Rate and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses and disbursements of the Indenture Trustee and its agents and counsel.

(b) In case the Issuer shall fail forthwith to pay such amounts upon such demand or if any such amounts became due and payable automatically pursuant to the terms of Section 5.02(a), the Indenture Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may

(and at the written direction of the Noteholders representing not less than 51% of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class shall) institute a Proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute such Proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce the same against the Issuer or other obligor on such Notes and collect in the manner provided by law out of the Collateral or the property of any other obligor on such Notes, wherever situated, the monies adjudged or decreed to be payable.

(c) If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee may, as more particularly provided in Section 5.04, or shall at the written direction of the Noteholders representing not less than 51% of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class, proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Noteholders, by such appropriate Proceedings as the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders, if the Indenture Trustee is acting at the written direction of Noteholders representing no less than 51% of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class, shall reasonably deem most effective to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy or legal or equitable right vested in the Indenture Trustee by this Indenture or by law.

(d) In case there shall be pending, relative to the Issuer or any other obligor on the Notes or any Person having or claiming an ownership interest in the Collateral, Proceedings under any Insolvency Law, or if a receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization, liquidator, sequestrator or similar official shall have been appointed for or taken possession of the Issuer or its property or such other obligor or Person, or in case of any other comparable judicial Proceedings relative to the Issuer or other obligor on the Notes, or to the creditors or property of the Issuer or such other obligor, the Indenture Trustee, irrespective of whether the principal of any Notes shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Indenture Trustee shall have made any demand pursuant to the provisions of this Section, shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such Proceedings or otherwise:

(i) to file and prove a claim or claims for the entire amount of principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Notes and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Indenture Trustee (including any claim for reasonable compensation to the Indenture Trustee and each predecessor Indenture Trustee, and their respective agents and counsel, and for all expenses and other amounts due and owing to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 6.07) and of the Noteholders allowed in such Proceedings;

(ii) unless prohibited by Applicable Law, to vote on behalf of the Noteholders in any election of a trustee, a standby trustee or Person performing similar functions in any such Proceedings;

(iii) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute all amounts received with respect to the claims of the Noteholders and of the Indenture Trustee on their behalf; and

(iv) to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders allowed in any Proceedings relative to the Issuer, its creditors and its property;

and any trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official in any such Proceeding is hereby authorized by each of such Noteholders to make payments to the Indenture Trustee for application in accordance with Section 5.04 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement and, in the event that the Indenture Trustee shall consent to the making of payments directly to such Noteholders, to pay to the Indenture Trustee such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover reasonable compensation to the Indenture Trustee, each predecessor Indenture Trustee and their respective agents and counsel, and all other expenses and amounts due and owing to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 6.07.

(e) Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Indenture Trustee to authorize or consent to or vote for or accept or adopt on behalf of any Noteholder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any 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.

(f) All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture, or under any of the Notes, may be enforced by the Indenture Trustee without the possession of any of the Notes or the production thereof in any trial or other Proceedings relative thereto, and any such action or Proceedings instituted by the Indenture Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment, subject to the payment of the expenses, disbursements and compensation of the Indenture Trustee, each predecessor Indenture Trustee and their respective agents and attorneys, shall be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes.

(g) In any Proceedings brought by the Indenture Trustee (and also any Proceedings involving the interpretation of any provision of this Indenture to which the Indenture Trustee shall be a party), the Indenture Trustee shall be held to represent all of the Holders of the Notes, and it shall not be necessary to make any Noteholder a party to any such Proceedings.

Section 5.04. Remedies; Priorities.

(a) If the Notes have been declared to be immediately due and payable following an Event of Default, the Indenture Trustee may, and at the written direction of the Noteholders representing not less than 51% of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class shall, take one or more of the following action (subject to Sections 5.02 and 5.05):

(i) institute Proceedings in its own name and as trustee of an express trust for the collection of all amounts then payable on the Notes or under this Indenture with respect thereto, whether by declaration or otherwise, enforce any judgment obtained and collect from the Issuer and any other obligor on 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 Collateral;

(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 Holders of the Notes; and

(iv) sell or otherwise liquidate the Collateral 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 Applicable Law;

provided, however, notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, that the Indenture Trustee may not sell or otherwise liquidate the Collateral following an Event of Default, other than an Event of Default described in Section 5.01(a) or (b), unless: (A) the Noteholders representing 100% of the Note Balance consent thereto, (B) the proceeds of such sale or liquidation will be sufficient to pay in full all amounts then due and unpaid on such Notes in respect of principal and interest, or (C) the Indenture Trustee determines that the Collateral will not continue to provide sufficient funds for the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes as they would have become due if the Notes had not been declared immediately due and payable, and the Indenture Trustee obtains the consent of the Noteholders representing 66-2/3% of the Note Balance.

In determining such sufficiency or insufficiency with respect to clause (B) and (C) above, the Indenture Trustee may, at the Issuer’s expense, 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 Collateral for such purpose.

(b) If the Indenture Trustee collects any money or property pursuant to this Article as a result of selling or liquidating the Collateral, it shall pay out such money or property, together with all other Available Collections and amounts on deposit in the Trust Accounts, on the related Payment Date or other date fixed pursuant to Section 5.04(c) in the following order of priority:

(i) first, to the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Administrator, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Issuer, any accrued and unpaid fees, indemnity payments and reasonable expenses permitted under the Basic Documents;

(ii) second, to the Servicer, the Servicing Fee and all unpaid Servicing Fees and to any Backup Servicer, the Backup Servicing Fee and all unpaid Backup Servicing Fees, if any, with respect to prior Collection Periods;

(iii) third, pro rata, to the Holders of the Class A-1 Notes, the Holders of the Class A-2 Notes, the Holders of the Class A-3 Notes and the Holders of the Class A-4 Notes, the Accrued Class A-1 Note Interest, the Accrued Class A-2 Note Interest, the Accrued Class A-3 Note Interest and the Accrued Class A-4 Note Interest, respectively;

(iv) fourth, if (A) the Receivables have been sold after an Event of Default has occurred or (B) an Event of Default described in Section 5.01(a), (b) or (d) has occurred, in the following order of priority:

(A) to the Holders of the Class A-1 Notes in respect of principal thereon until the Class A-1 Notes have been Paid in full;

(B) pro rata, to the Holders of the Class A-2 Notes, the Holders of the Class A-3 Notes and the Holders of the Class A-4 Notes, in respect of principal thereon, until the Class A-2 Notes, the Class A-3 Notes and the Class A-4 Notes have been Paid in full;

(D) to the Holders of the Class B Notes in respect of principal thereon until the Class B Notes have been Paid in full;

(E) to the Holders of the Class C Notes, the Accrued Class C Note Interest;

(F) to the Holders of the Class C Notes in respect of principal thereon until the Class C Notes have been Paid in full;

(v) fifth, if an Event of Default other than that described in clause (iv) directly above has occurred and the Receivables have not been sold after such Event of Default has occurred, in the following order of priority:

(A) to the Holders of the Class B Notes, the Accrued Class B Note Interest;

(B) to the Holders of the Class C Notes, the Accrued Class C Note Interest;

(C) to the Holders of the Class A-1 Notes in respect of principal thereon until the Class A-1 Notes have been Paid in full;

(D) pro rata, to the Holders of the Class A-2 Notes, the Holders of the Class A-3 Notes and the Holders of the Class A-4 Notes, in respect of principal thereon, until the Class A-2 Notes, the Class A-3 Notes and the Class A-4 Notes have been Paid in full;

(E) to the Holders of the Class B Notes in respect of principal thereon until the Class B Notes have been Paid in full;

(F) to the Holders of the Class C Notes in respect of principal thereon until the Class C Notes have been Paid in full;

(vi) sixth, any remaining funds shall be distributed to the Certificateholders.

(c) The Indenture Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Noteholders pursuant to this Section. At least 15 days before such record date, the Indenture Trustee shall mail to each Noteholder and the Servicer a notice that states the record date, the payment date and the amount to be paid.

Section 5.05. Optional Preservation of the Collateral. If the Notes have been declared to be due and payable under Section 5.02 following an Event of Default, and such declaration and its consequences have not been rescinded and annulled, the Indenture Trustee may, but need not, elect to maintain possession of the Collateral and continue to apply the proceeds thereof as if there had been no declaration of acceleration in the manner specified in Section 5.04 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. It is the desire of the parties hereto and the Noteholders that there be at all times sufficient funds for the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes, and the Indenture Trustee shall take such desire into account when determining whether or not to maintain possession of the Collateral.

(c) In the event the Indenture Trustee shall receive conflicting or inconsistent requests and indemnity from two or more groups of Noteholders pursuant to this Section, each representing less than 51% but not less than 25% of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class of Notes, the Indenture Trustee shall take such action as is requested by Noteholders representing the greatest percentage interest, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture.

Section 5.08. Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Indenture Trustee or any Noteholder has instituted any Proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such Proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or has been determined adversely to the Indenture Trustee or such Noteholder, then and in every such case the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders shall, subject to any determination in such Proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders shall continue as though no such Proceeding had been instituted.

Section 5.10. Delay or Omission Not a Waiver. No delay or omission of the Indenture Trustee or any Noteholder to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Default or 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.

Notwithstanding the rights of Noteholders set forth in this Section, subject to Section 6.01, the Indenture Trustee need not take any action that it determines might involve it in liability for which it will not be adequately indemnified or might materially adversely affect the rights of any Noteholders not consenting to such action.

have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Indenture Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor trustee and deliver such Notes so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Notes shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Indenture Trustee may authenticate such Notes either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor to the Indenture Trustee; and in all such cases such certificates shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the Notes or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Indenture Trustee shall have.

The Issuer shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Indenture Trustee (i) not more than three days after the earlier of (a) each Record Date and (b) three months after the last Record Date, a list, in such form as the Indenture Trustee may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of the Noteholders as of such Record Date, and (ii) at such other times as the Indenture Trustee may request in writing, within 30 days after receipt by the Issuer of any such request, a list of similar form and content as of a date not more than ten days prior to the time such list is furnished; provided, however, that so long as the Indenture Trustee is the Note Registrar or the Notes are issued as Book-Entry Notes, no such list shall be required to be furnished.

Section 7.02. Noteholder List Retention; TIA Communication. The Indenture Trustee shall preserve, in as current a form as is reasonably practicable, the names and addresses of the Noteholders contained in the most recent list furnished to the Indenture Trustee as provided in Section 7.01 and the names and addresses of Noteholders received by the Indenture Trustee in its capacity as Note Registrar. The Indenture Trustee may destroy any list furnished to it as provided in such Section 7.01 upon receipt of a new list so furnished. Noteholders may communicate pursuant to TIA Section 312(b) with other Noteholders with respect to their rights under this Indenture or under the Notes. The Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Note Registrar shall have the protection of TIA Section 312(c). Upon written request of any Noteholder made for purposes of communicating with other Noteholders with respect to their rights under this Indenture, the Note Registrar shall promptly furnish such Noteholder with a list of the other Noteholders of record identified in the Note Register at the time of the request or shall request a DTC participant listing at the expense of such Noteholder. Every Noteholder, by receiving such access, agrees with the Note Registrar that the Note Registrar will not be held accountable in any way by reason of the disclosure of any information as to the names and addresses of any Noteholder regardless of the source from which such information was derived.

Section 7.03. Noteholder Communications with Indenture Trustee. A Noteholder (if the Notes are represented by Definitive Notes) or a Note Owner (if the Notes are represented by Book-Entry Notes) may communicate with the Indenture Trustee and give notices and make requests and demands and give directions to the Indenture Trustee through the procedures of the Clearing Agency and by notice to the Indenture Trustee. Any Note Owner must provide a written certification stating that the Note Owner is a beneficial owner of a Note, together with supporting documentation such as a trade confirmation, an account statement, a letter from a broker or dealer verifying ownership or another similar document evidencing ownership of a Note. The Indenture Trustee will not be required to take action in response to requests, demands or directions of a Noteholder or a Note Owner, other than requests, demands or directions relating to an asset representations review demand under Section 7.05 (for which the Indenture Trustee’s fees and expenses shall be payable pursuant to Section 6.07) unless the Noteholder or Note Owner has offered reasonable security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee to protect it against the fees and expenses that it may incur in complying with the request, demand or direction.

Section 7.04. Communications between Noteholders. Three or more Noteholders (if the Notes are represented by Definitive Notes) or Note Owners (if the Notes are represented by Book-Entry Notes) may request a list of all Noteholders or Note Owners, as applicable, maintained by the Indenture Trustee for the purpose of communicating with other Noteholders about their rights under this Indenture or under the Notes. Any such request must be accompanied by a copy of the communication that the requesting Noteholders propose to send. A Noteholder (if the Notes are represented by Definitive Notes) or a Note Owner (if the Notes are represented by Book-Entry Notes) that seeks to communicate with other Noteholders or Note Owners, as applicable, about a possible exercise of rights under this Indenture or the other Basic Documents may send a request to the Issuer or the Servicer, on behalf of the Issuer, to include information regarding the communication in a Form 10-D to be filed by the Issuer with the Commission. Each request must include (a) the name of the requesting Noteholder or Note Owner, (b) the method by which other Noteholders or Note Owners, as applicable, may contact the requesting Noteholder or Note Owner and (c) in the case of a Note Owner, a certification from that Person that it is a Note Owner, together with at least one form of documentation evidencing its ownership of a Note, including a trade confirmation, account statement, letter from a broker or dealer or similar document. A Noteholder or Note Owner, as applicable, that delivers a request under this Section will be deemed to have certified to the Issuer and the Servicer that its request to communicate with other Noteholders or Note Owners, as applicable, relates solely to a possible exercise of rights under this Indenture or the other Basic Documents, and will not be used for other purposes. The Issuer will promptly deliver any request to the Servicer. On receipt of a request, the Servicer will include in the Form 10-D filed by the Issuer with the Commission for the Collection Period in which the request was received (i) a statement that the Issuer has received a request from a Noteholder or Note Owner, as applicable, that is interested in communicating with other Noteholders or Note Owners, as applicable, about a possible exercise of rights under this Indenture or the other Basic Documents, (ii) the name of the requesting Noteholder or Note Owner, (iii) the date the request was received and (iv) a description of the method by which the other Noteholders or Note Owners, as applicable, may contact the requesting Noteholder or Note Owner. Any expenses of the Issuer or the Servicer relating to an investor communication, including any review of documents evidencing ownership of a Note and the inclusion of the investor communication information in a Form 10-D, will be paid by the Servicer.

Section 7.05. Noteholder Demand for Asset Representations Review. If a Delinquency Trigger occurs, a Noteholder (if the Notes are represented by Definitive Notes), a Note Owner (if the Notes are represented by Book-Entry Notes), a Certificateholder (if the Certificates are represented by Definitive Certificates) or a Certificate Owner (if the Certificates are represented by Book-Entry Certificates) may make a demand on the Indenture Trustee to cause a vote of the Noteholders or Note Owners, as applicable, about whether to direct the Asset Representations Reviewer to conduct a Review of the Review Receivables under the Asset Representations Review Agreement. In the case of a Note Owner or Certificate Owner, each demand must be accompanied by a certification from that Person that it is a Note Owner or Certificate Owner, together with at least one form of documentation evidencing its ownership of a Note or Certificate, including a trade confirmation, account statement, letter from a broker or dealer or similar document. If Noteholders and Note Owners of at least 5% of the aggregate Note Balance of the Notes as of the related Record Date or Certificateholders and Certificate Owners of at least 40% of the aggregate Percentage Interests of the Certificates as of the related Record Date

demand a vote within 90 days of the filing of the Form 10-D reporting the occurrence of the Delinquency Trigger, (i) the Indenture Trustee will promptly request a vote of the Noteholders as of the related Record Date through the Clearing Agency using the Indenture Trustee’s standard procedures for conducting a vote for Noteholders or, with respect to Book-Entry Notes, as directed by the Note Owners or the applicable Clearing Agency procedures for such votes and (ii) and the Issuer’s Form 10-D filing for the Collection Period in which the demand requirement was met will include a statement that sufficient requesting Noteholders or Note Owners, or Certificateholders or Certificate Owners, as applicable, are requesting a full Noteholder or Note Owner vote to commence a Review. The vote will remain open until the 150th day after the filing of the Form 10-D. The Form 10-D filing also will specify the applicable voting procedures. Assuming a voting quorum of Noteholders holding at least 5% of the aggregate Note Balance of the Outstanding Notes is reached, if the Noteholders of a majority of the Note Balance of Outstanding Notes voted agree to a Review, the Indenture Trustee will promptly send a Review Notice to the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Servicer under the Asset Representations Review Agreement informing the Asset Representations Reviewer to conduct the Review. Any fees and expenses incurred by the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section shall be subject to reimbursement pursuant to Section 6.07. For the avoidance of doubt, the Indenture Trustee shall not be required to determine whether, or give notice to Noteholders or Certificateholders that a Delinquency Trigger has occurred or determine which assets are subject to a Review by an Asset Representations Reviewer. The Indenture Trustee shall have no obligation to pursue or otherwise be involved in resolving any Repurchase Request, including any such request that is the subject of dispute resolution, unless it is directed to do so by the Noteholders representing not less than 51% of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class and such Noteholders shall have offered to the Indenture Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to it against the reasonable costs, expenses, disbursements, advances and liabilities that might be incurred by it, its agents and its counsel in compliance with such direction. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Indenture Trustee does not agree to pursue or otherwise be involved in resolving any Repurchase Request, the Noteholders representing not less than 51% of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class may independently pursue dispute resolution in respect of such Repurchase Request in accordance with Section 3.04 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. The Indenture Trustee may select a vote agent that is experienced in the administration of Noteholder votes and/or consent solicitations to conduct and administer any Noteholder vote about whether to direct the Asset Representations Reviewer to conduct a Review of the Review Receivables and, so long as the Indenture Trustee selects such vote agent with due care, the Indenture Trustee will not be liable for any actions or inactions of such vote agent.

(ii) file with the Indenture Trustee and the Commission, in accordance with rules and regulations prescribed from time to time by the Commission, such additional information, documents and reports with respect to compliance by the Issuer with the conditions and covenants of this Indenture as may be required from time to time by such rules and regulations; and

(a) The Notes are subject to redemption in whole, but not in part, at the direction of the Servicer pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, on any Payment Date on which the Servicer exercises its option to purchase the Collateral (other than the Reserve Account) pursuant to such Section and the Optional Purchase Price paid by the Servicer shall be treated as Available Collections and applied to pay the Note Balance, all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, all amounts due to the Servicer under the Sale and Servicing Agreement and all amounts due to the Trustees, any Backup Servicer and the Administrator.

(b) The Servicer or the Issuer shall furnish the Rating Agencies and the Indenture Trustee notice of such redemption. If the Notes are to be redeemed pursuant to this Section, the Servicer shall furnish notice of such redemption to the Indenture Trustee not later than 30 days prior to the Redemption Date and the Issuer will, or will cause the Servicer to, deposit on the Business Day prior to the Redemption Date with the Indenture Trustee in the Collection Account the Redemption Price (as well as all Available Fund), whereupon all such Notes shall be due and payable on the Redemption Date upon the furnishing of a notice complying with Section 10.02 to each Holder of the Notes.

(v) that on the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price will become due and payable upon the Notes and interest on the Notes shall cease to accrue from and after the Redemption Date.

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

The Notes shall, following notice of redemption as required by Section 10.02, on the Redemption Date become due and payable at the Redemption Price and (unless the Issuer shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price) no interest shall accrue on the Redemption Price for any period after the date to which accrued interest is calculated for purposes of calculating the Redemption Price.

Section 11.02. Form of Documents Delivered to Indenture Trustee. In any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more other such Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents.

(a) Any certificate or opinion of an Authorized Officer of the Issuer may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or an opinion of, or representations by, counsel, unless such officer knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the

matters upon which such certificate or opinion are based are 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 Issuer or the Administrator, stating that the information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the Servicer, the Depositor, the Issuer or the Administrator, unless such Authorized Officer or counsel knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or representations with respect to such matters are erroneous.

(b) 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.

(c) Whenever in this Indenture, in connection with any application or certificate or report to the Indenture Trustee, it is provided that the Issuer shall deliver any document as a condition of the granting of such application, or as evidence of the Issuer’s compliance with any 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 Issuer to have such application granted or to the sufficiency of such certificate or report. The foregoing shall not, however, be construed to affect the Indenture Trustee’s right to rely upon the truth and accuracy of any statement or opinion contained in any such document as provided in Article Six.

Section 11.03. Acts of Noteholders.

(a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Noteholders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Noteholders in person or by agents duly appointed in writing; and except as herein otherwise expressly provided such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Indenture Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Issuer. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Noteholders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 6.01) conclusive in favor of the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer, if made in the manner provided in this Section.

(b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved in any manner that the Indenture Trustee deems sufficient.

(d) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action by the Holder of any Note 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 Issuer in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Note.

Section 11.04. Notices, etc., to Indenture Trustee, Issuer, Depositor and Rating Agencies.

(a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Noteholders or other documents provided or permitted by this Indenture shall be in writing and, if such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Noteholders or other document is to be made upon, given or furnished to or filed with:

(i) the Indenture Trustee by any Noteholder or by the Issuer, 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

(ii) the Issuer by the Indenture Trustee or by any Noteholder, shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if in writing and mailed first-class, postage prepaid to the Issuer addressed to: California Republic Auto Receivables Trust 2016-2, in care of Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Owner Trustee, Rodney Square North, 1100 North Market Street, Wilmington, Delaware ###-###-####, Attention: Corporate Trust Administration, or at any other address previously furnished in writing to the Indenture Trustee by the Issuer or the Administrator; the Issuer shall promptly transmit any notice received by it from the Noteholders to the Indenture Trustee.

(c) All demands, notices, communications and instructions upon or to the Depositor under this Agreement shall be in writing, personally delivered, faxed and followed by first class mail, or mailed by certified mail, return receipt requested, and shall be deemed to have been duly given upon receipt by, in the case of the Depositor, California Republic Funding, LLC, 18400 Von Karman, Suite 1100, Irvine, California 92612, Attention: General Counsel, Facsimile No. (949) ###-###-####; with a copy to California Republic Bank, 18400 Von Karman, Suite 1100, Irvine, California 92612, Attention: General Counsel, Facsimile No. (949) ###-###-####.

Section 11.05. Notices to Noteholders; Waiver. Where this Indenture provides for any notice, report or other communication to any Noteholders, such notice, report or other communication shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class, postage prepaid to each Noteholder affected by such event, at such Holder’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, report or other

communication and shall be deemed given only upon receipt. In any case where notice to Noteholders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice nor any defect in any notice so mailed to any particular Noteholder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Noteholders, and any notice that is mailed in the manner herein provided shall conclusively be presumed to have been duly given.

Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by any Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Noteholders shall be filed with the Indenture Trustee but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such a waiver.

In case, by reason of the suspension of regular mail service as a result of a strike, work stoppage or similar activity, it shall be impractical to mail notice of any event to Noteholders when such notice is required to be given pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, then any manner of giving such notice as shall be satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to be a sufficient giving of such notice.

Where this Indenture provides 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 a Default or Event of Default.

Section 11.06. Alternate Payment and Notice Provisions. Notwithstanding any provision of this Indenture or any of the Notes to the contrary, the Issuer 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 Issuer will furnish to the Indenture Trustee a copy of each such agreement and the Indenture Trustee will cause payments to be made and notices to be given in accordance with such agreements.

Section 11.07. Conflict with Trust Indenture Act. If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with another provision hereof that is required to be included in this Indenture by any provisions of the Trust Indenture Act, such required provision shall control.

Section 11.12. Legal Holidays. In any case where the date on which any payment is due shall not be a Business Day, then (notwithstanding any other provision of the Notes or this Indenture) payment need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the date on which nominally due, and except as otherwise provided in the Basic Documents, 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 LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY OTHERWISE APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICT OF LAWS (OTHER THAN SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW), AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.

(a) Each of the Noteholders, the issuing entity (as hereinafter defined), CRB and the Indenture Trustee acknowledges and agrees that the purpose of this Article is to facilitate compliance by CRB with the provisions of the FDIC Rule. Each of the Noteholders, the issuing entity, CRB 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 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 is necessary or desirable, then the issuing entity and the Indenture Trustee shall be authorized and entitled to amend this Article 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 subsection shall limit the rights of the Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 9.03.

(c) As used in this Article, but subject to the rules of interpretation specified in Section 12.01(a) and Section 12.01(b), references to (i) the “sponsor” shall mean CRB, (ii) the “issuing entity” shall mean, collectively, the Depositor and the Issuer (except in Section 12.02(e), where such term shall have the meaning set forth 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 12.02(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 comply with the requirements of Section 12.02.

Section 12.02. 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, and/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 the 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 issuing entity 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) Prior to the Section 941 Effective Date, the sponsor shall retain an economic interest in a material portion, defined as not less than five percent, of the credit risk of the financial assets. This retained interest may be either in the form of an interest of not less than five percent in each of the credit tranches sold or transferred to the investors or in a representative sample of the securitized financial assets equal to not less than five percent of the principal amount of the financial assets at transfer. This retained interest may not be sold or pledged or hedged, except for the hedging of interest rate or currency risk, during the term of the securitization.

(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.

(g) The sponsor shall maintain continuously, from the time of execution, a copy of all executed Basic Documents and other securitization agreements in its official records.

Section 12.03. Performance. The issuing entity agrees to (i) perform the covenants set forth in Section 12.02, except to the extent any such obligation is imposed exclusively on the servicer or the sponsor and (ii) facilitate compliance with this Article by CRB and the Depositor.

Section 12.04. Effect of Section 941 Rules. The sponsor will be required to adjust the economic interest it retains to the extent necessary to comply with Section 941 Rules upon the Section 941 Effective Date and thereafter. However, Section 12.02(c) shall not be construed to require the sponsor to retain any greater economic interest in the credit risk of the financial assets than is required to comply with the FDIC Rule and other Applicable Law. Accordingly, upon the Section 941 Effective Date and thereafter, the sponsor shall be entitled to adjust the amount of credit risk that it retains, or the terms under which such credit risk is retained, to the greatest extent elected by the sponsor, so long as the sponsor’s retention shall be in compliance with Applicable Law. Within a reasonable time after the sponsor has so adjusted the amount or terms of the credit risk it retains, the sponsor shall give notice thereof to the Noteholders and the Certificateholders, and each of the Indenture Trustee, the Depositor and CRB is authorized and entitled to amend Section 12.02(c), in accordance with and to the extent the issuing entity determines necessary or appropriate, to reflect the requirements of the Section 941 Rules.

Section 12.05. 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 CRB becomes the subject of an insolvency proceeding and the FDIC as receiver or conservator for CRB 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 12.05(a):

(i) at the direction of the Holders of at least 25% of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class, the Indenture Trustee shall request and the Servicer shall 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 Certificateholders pursuant to the Trust Agreement, the Owner Trustee shall provide 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, and 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 12.05(a), the Indenture Trustee shall thereupon determine the Applicable Payment Date for making a distribution to Noteholders of such damages, which date shall be the earlier of (i) the next Payment Date on which such damages could be distributed and (ii) the earliest practicable date by which the Indenture Trustee could declare a special payment date, in each case subject to all applicable provisions of this Indenture, Applicable Law and the procedures of the Clearing Agency. The Indenture Trustee is authorized and instructed to retain possession and control of the Trust Accounts and all amounts on deposit therein.

(d) When the Applicable Payment Date is determined, the Servicer shall promptly compute the amount of interest to be paid on each Class of Notes on the Applicable Payment Date, which interest (unless such Applicable Payment Date is a Payment Date) shall be the amount accruing up to the Applicable Payment Date and which shall be computed by pro rating the amount that would otherwise be payable on the next succeeding Payment Date on the basis of (i) the number (not to exceed 30) of days elapsed from such preceding Payment Date divided by (ii) 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 Aggregate Note Amount not later than the Business Day following the day on which the Applicable Payment Date is determined.

(e) If the Applicable Payment Date is a special payment date, the Indenture Trustee shall (i) declare such special payment date (the record date for which shall be the close of business on the day immediately preceding such special payment 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 payment date and special distribution.

(f) Following payment by the FDIC of any damages described in Section 12.05(a),

(i) such damages shall be deposited, first, into the Principal Distribution Account (in an amount equal to the lesser of the (A) the Aggregate Note Amount and (B) the amount of such damages) and, second, into the Certificate Distribution Account under the Trust Agreement (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, (A) 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 Principal Distribution Account so that the amount on deposit in the Principal Distribution Account shall equal the Aggregate Note Amount, if any and (B) promptly inform the Indenture Trustee and Owner Trustee of such computations; and

(iii) on the Applicable Payment Date, the Indenture Trustee, at the written direction of the Servicer, shall, based on the computations in Section 12.05(e), 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 Principal Distribution Account and second, cause all amounts deposited in the Principal Distribution Account pursuant to this Section to be applied in accordance with Section 2.07, 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 12.05(c), rather than the amount specified in Section 2.07).

(g) As promptly as practicable after giving effect to the distributions in Section 12.05(f), any funds remaining in the Principal Distribution Account, the Certificate Distribution Account, the Collection Account and the Reserve Account shall be distributed on the earlier of (i) the date, if any, specified in the Trust Agreement and (ii) the following Payment Date (or on such applicable distribution date, if it is a Payment 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 to take into account the amounts distributed on the applicable distribution date.

Section 12.06. Notice.

(a) In the event that CRB 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 party receiving such notice shall promptly deliver such notice to each of the Depositor, CRB, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee.

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

Section 12.07. Reservation of Rights. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, neither the inclusion of this Article in this Indenture nor the compliance by any Person with, or the acknowledgment by any Person of, this Article’s provisions (i) constitutes an agreement or acknowledgment by any Person that, in the case of an insolvency proceeding with respect to CRB, a receiver or conservator will have any rights with respect to the trust estate under this Indenture or (ii) 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.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Indenture to be duly executed by their respective officers, thereunto duly authorized, as of the day and year first above written.

This is one of the Notes designated above and referred to in the within-mentioned Indenture.

REVERSE OF CLASS [A-1][A-2][A-3][A-4][B][C] NOTE

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Issuer, designated as its % Class [A-1][A-2][A-3][A-4][B][C] Asset Backed Notes (the “Class Notes”), all issued under the Indenture, dated as of June 1, 2016 (as amended, the “Indenture”), between the Issuer and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Indenture Trustee”), 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 Noteholders. The Notes are subject to the terms of the Indenture and the Sale and Servicing Agreement, dated as of June 1, 2016 (as amended, the “Sale and Servicing Agreement”), among California Republic Bank, the Depositor, the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer.

The Class A-1 Notes, the Class A-2 Notes, the Class A-3 Notes, the Class A-4 Notes, the Class B Notes and the Class C Notes (collectively, the “Notes”) are, except as otherwise provided in the Indenture or in the Sale and Servicing Agreement, equally and ratably secured by the Collateral pledged as security therefor as provided in the Indenture.

This Note is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, and the Indenture, as each may be amended and supplemented from time to time, the Noteholder by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and is bound. Although a summary of certain provisions of the Sale and Servicing Agreement and the Indenture are set forth below, this Note does not purport to summarize the Sale and Servicing Agreement or the Indenture and reference is made to the Sale and Servicing Agreement and the Indenture for information with respect to the interests, rights, benefits, obligations, proceeds and duties evidenced hereby and the rights, duties and obligations of the Indenture Trustee. A copy of the Sale and Servicing Agreement and the Indenture (without schedules and exhibits) may be requested from the Indenture Trustee by writing to the Indenture Trustee at U.S. Bank National Association, 190 South LaSalle Street, 7th Floor, Mail Code MK-IL-SK7R, Chicago, IL 60603, Attention: Structured Finance – California Republic Auto Receivables Trust 2016-2. In the event of any conflict between this Note, on the one hand, and the Indenture or the Sale and Servicing Agreement on the other hand, the Indenture or the Sale and Servicing Agreement shall control.

The Issuer has entered into the Indenture and this Note is issued with the intention that, for federal, State and local income, single business and franchise tax purposes, the Notes will qualify as indebtedness of the Issuer secured by the Collateral. Each Noteholder, by acceptance of a Note (and each Note Owner, by acceptance of a beneficial interest in a Note), agrees to treat the Notes for federal, State and local income, single business and franchise tax purposes as indebtedness of the Issuer.

All principal payments on the Class [A-1][A-2][A-3][A-4][B][C] Notes shall be made pro rata to the Class [A-1][A-2][A-3][A-4][B][C] Noteholders entitled thereto.

Payments of principal and interest on this Note due and payable on each Payment Date or Redemption Date shall be made by check mailed to the Person whose name appears as the registered Noteholder (or one or more Predecessor Notes) on the Note Register as of the close of business on the related Record Date, except that with respect to Notes registered 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 checks shall be mailed to the Person entitled thereto at the address of such Person as it appears on the Note Register as of the applicable Record Date without requiring that this Note be submitted for notation of payment. Any reduction in the principal amount of this Note (or any one or more Predecessor Notes) effected by any payments made on any Payment Date or Redemption Date shall be binding upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not noted hereon. If funds are expected to be available, as provided in the Indenture, for payment in full of the remaining unpaid principal amount of this Note on a Payment Date or Redemption Date, then the Indenture Trustee, in the name of and on behalf of the Issuer, will notify the Person who was the registered Noteholder as of the Record Date preceding such Payment Date or Redemption Date by notice mailed in accordance with the Indenture and the amount then due and payable shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of this Note at the Corporate Trust Office of the Indenture Trustee or at the office of the Indenture Trustee’s agent appointed for such purposes. Final payment of this Note will be made only upon presentation and surrender of this Note at the office or agency specified in the notice of final distribution delivered by the Indenture Trustee to the Noteholder in accordance with the Indenture.

This Note does not represent an obligation of, or an interest in the Depositor, California Republic Bank, or any affiliate of any of them and is not insured or guaranteed by any governmental agency or instrumentality. This Note is limited in right of payment to certain Available Collections with respect to the Collateral, all as more specifically set forth herein and in the Sale and Servicing Agreement and the Indenture.

Upon the satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition, the Sale and Servicing Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer and the Noteholders holding not less than 51% of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Sale and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Noteholders.
