(c) Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication. The terms of the Notes set forth in Exhibit A-1, Exhibit A-2, Exhibit A-3, Exhibit A-4, Exhibit B, Exhibit C and Exhibit D are part of the terms of this Indenture and are incorporated herein by reference.

Section 2.2 Execution, Authentication and Delivery.

(a) The Notes shall be executed on behalf of the Issuer by any of its Authorized Officers. The signatures of any such Authorized Officer of the Issuer on the Notes may be manual or facsimile.

(b) Notes bearing the manual or facsimile signature of individuals who were at any time Authorized Officers of the Issuer shall bind the Issuer, notwithstanding whether any such individuals have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Notes or did not hold such offices on such date of authentication or date of delivery.

(c) The Indenture Trustee shall, upon Issuer Order, authenticate and deliver the Class A-1 Notes for original issue in an aggregate principal amount of $276,000,000, the Class A-2 Notes for original issue in an aggregate principal amount of $472,790,000, the Class A-3 Notes for original issue in an aggregate principal amount of $364,380,000, the Class A-4 Notes for original issue in an aggregate principal amount of $108,530,000, the Class B Notes for original issue in an aggregate principal amount of $34,750,000, the Class C Notes for original issue in an aggregate principal amount of $34,750,000 and the Class D Notes for original issue in an aggregate principal amount of $33,800,000.

Section 2.3 Temporary Notes.

(a) Pending the preparation of Definitive Notes pursuant to Section 2.13, 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.

(a) The Issuer has entered into this Indenture, and the Notes shall be issued, with the intention that, for federal, State and local income and franchise tax purposes, the Notes (other than any Retained Notes) shall qualify as indebtedness of the Issuer secured by the Trust Estate. The Issuer, by entering into this Indenture, and 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 to treat the Notes (other than any Retained Notes) as indebtedness of the Issuer for federal, State and local income and franchise tax purposes.

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

(c) Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by its acceptance of a Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note, agrees that the Indenture Trustee has the right to withhold any amounts of interest (properly withholdable under law and without any corresponding gross-up) payable to a Noteholder or holder of an interest in a Note that fails to comply with the requirements of Section 2.4(b).

(a) The Indenture Trustee initially shall be the registrar (the “Note Registrar”) for the purpose of registering Notes and transfers of Notes as herein provided. The Note Registrar shall cause to be kept a register (the “Note Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Note Registrar shall provide for the registration of Notes and the registration of transfers of Notes.

(c) Every replacement Note issued pursuant to this Section 2.6 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 stolen Note shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder.

 

12

The Book-Entry Notes shall be such Notes registered initially or from time to time on the Note Register in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee of the initial Clearing Agency, and no Note Owner thereof shall receive a definitive Note representing such Note Owner’s interest in such Note, except as provided in Section 2.13. Unless and until definitive, fully registered Notes (the “Definitive Notes”) have been issued to such Note Owners pursuant to Section 2.13:

 

  (i) the provisions of this Section 2.11 shall be in full force and effect;

 

  (ii) the Note Registrar 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;

 

  (iii) to the extent that the provisions of this Section 2.11 conflict with any other provisions of this Indenture, the provisions of this Section 2.11 shall control;

 

  (iv) the rights of Note Owners shall be exercised only through the Clearing Agency and shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such Note Owners and the Clearing Agency and/or the Clearing Agency Participants pursuant to the Note Depository Agreement; unless and until Definitive Notes are issued pursuant to Section 2.13, the initial 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 such Clearing Agency Participants; and

 

  (v) whenever this Indenture requires or permits actions to be taken based upon written instructions or directions of Holders of Notes (or Holders of Notes of any Class thereof, including the Controlling Class) evidencing a specified percentage of the principal amount of the Notes or any Class of Notes Outstanding, the Clearing Agency shall be deemed to represent such percentage only to the extent that it has received 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 has delivered such instructions to the Indenture Trustee.

Section 2.13 Definitive Notes. The Retained Notes, upon original issuance, will be in the form of Definitive Notes, but, at the request of all of the holders thereof, may be exchanged for Book-Entry Notes.

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 protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Notes, the Indenture Trustee shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Notes as Noteholders.

(c) Any Authenticating Agent may at any time resign by giving written notice of resignation to the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee. The Indenture Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of any Authenticating Agent by giving written notice of termination to such Authenticating Agent and the Owner Trustee. Upon receiving such notice of resignation or upon such a termination, the Indenture Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent and shall give written notice of any such appointment to the Owner Trustee.

Unless and until such Notes have been sold pursuant to a transaction registered under the Securities Act, no transfer of such a Note shall be made unless such transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws or is exempt from the registration requirements under the Securities Act and such state securities laws. Except in a transfer pursuant to Rule 144A or a transfer to the Depositor (or any other entity whose separate existence from the Trust is disregarded for federal income tax purposes) or by the Depositor (or any other entity whose separate existence from the Trust is disregarded for federal income tax purposes) to an Affiliate thereof, in the event that a transfer is to be made in reliance upon an exemption from the Securities Act and state securities laws, in order to assure compliance with the Securities Act and such laws, the Noteholder desiring to effect such transfer and such Noteholder’s prospective transferee shall each certify to the Trust, the Indenture Trustee and the Depositor in writing the facts surrounding the transfer in substantially the forms set forth in Exhibit F (the “Transferor Certificate”) and Exhibit G (the “Investment Letter”), in each case, with such revisions or modifications as may be determined by the Depositor. Except in a transfer pursuant to Rule 144A or a transfer to the Depositor or by the Depositor (or any other entity whose separate existence from the Trust is disregarded for federal income tax purposes) to an Affiliate thereof, there shall also be delivered to the Depositor and the Indenture Trustee an Opinion of Counsel that such transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption from the Securities Act, which opinion of counsel shall not be an expense of the Depositor, the Trust, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee (unless it is the transferee from whom such opinion is to be obtained). The Trust shall cause the Depositor to provide to any Noteholder and any prospective transferee designated by any such Noteholder information regarding the Retained Notes and the Receivables and such other information as shall be necessary to satisfy the condition to eligibility set forth in Rule 144A(d)(4) for transfer of any such Retained Notes without registration thereof under the Securities Act pursuant to the registration exemption provided by Rule 144A. Each Noteholder desiring to effect such a transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Issuing Entity, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Depositor and CarMax (in any capacity) against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with federal and state securities laws.

(b) (i) Sale, pledge or transfer of a Retained Note may only be made to a Person who is a United States Person (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) and is not acquiring such Retained Notes with the assets of any Plan that is subject to Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or any substantially similar law; and (ii) no sale, pledge, or transfer of a Retained Note shall be made (x) to any one person in an amount less than $2,000,000 (or such other amount as the Depositor may determine in order to prevent the Trust

 

21


from being treated as a “publicly traded partnership” under Section 7704 of the Code) or (y) to a Special Pass-Through Entity, in each case under this clause (ii), unless (A) an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee and the Depositor that such sale, pledge, or transfer shall not cause the Trust to be treated as an association (or publicly traded partnership) taxable as a corporation for federal income tax purposes shall have been delivered to the Indenture Trustee and the Depositor and (B) the Depositor shall have provided prior written approval; provided, however, that the restrictions in Section 2.15(b)(i) and (ii) above shall not continue to apply to such Retained Notes (covered by the opinion described in this clause) in the event counsel satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee and the Depositor has rendered an opinion, with respect to the sale, pledge or transfer by the Depositor or an Affiliate thereof, to the effect that the Retained Notes to be sold, pledged, or transferred will be characterized as indebtedness for federal income tax purposes. Any transferee, other than the Depositor or any other entity whose separate existence from the Trust is disregarded for federal income tax purposes, acquiring a Retained Note or an interest therein shall be deemed to have made the representations set forth in Section 2.4 (as if Section 2.4(a) applied to the Retained Notes). Any attempted sale, pledge or other transfer in contravention of this Section 2.15(b) will be void ab initio and the purported transferor will continue to be treated as the owner of the Retained Note. For the purposes of this Section 2.15(b), “Special Pass-Through Entity” means a grantor trust, S corporation, or partnership (as determined, in each case, for Federal income tax purposes) where more than 50% of the value of any beneficial owner’s interest in such pass through entity is attributable to the pass-through entity’s interest in the Retained Note.

(c) By directly or indirectly acquiring a Retained Note in a transaction pursuant to Rule 144A, each initial purchaser, transferee and owner of a beneficial interest will be deemed to represent, warrant and agree as follows:

 

  (i)

it understands that such Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act, and may not be sold except as permitted in the following sentence. It understands and agrees, on its own behalf and on behalf of any accounts for which it is acting as hereinafter stated, (x) that such Notes are being offered only in a transaction not involving any public offering within the meaning of the Securities Act and (y) that such Notes may be resold, pledged or transferred only (i) to the Depositor, (ii) to an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a)(1),(2),(3) or (7) of Regulation D under the Securities Act (an “Accredited Investor”) acting for its own account (and not for the account of others) or as a fiduciary or agent for others (which others also are Accredited Investors unless the holder is a bank acting in its fiduciary capacity) that executes a certificate substantially in the form of the Investment Letter, (iii) so long as such Note is eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act, to a person whom it reasonably believes after due inquiry is a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A, acting for its own account (and not for the account of others) or as a fiduciary or agent for others (which others also are “qualified institutional buyers”) to whom notice is given that the resale, pledge or transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A

 

22


  or (iv) in a sale, pledge or other transfer made in a transaction otherwise exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, in which case the Indenture Trustee shall require that both the prospective transferor and the prospective transferee certify to the Indenture Trustee and the Depositor in writing the facts surrounding such transfer, which certification shall be in form and substance satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee and the Depositor. Except in the case of a transfer described in clauses (i) or (iii) above, the Indenture Trustee shall require that a written opinion of counsel (which will not be at the expense of the Depositor, any Affiliate of the Depositor or the Indenture Trustee), satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee and the Depositor, be delivered to the Indenture Trustee and the Depositor to the effect that such transfer will not violate the Securities Act, and will be effected in accordance with any applicable securities laws of each state of the United States. It will notify any purchaser of such Notes from it of the above resale restrictions, if then applicable. It further understands that in connection with any transfer of such Notes by it that the Indenture Trustee and the Depositor may request, and if so requested it will furnish, such certificates and other information as they may reasonably require to confirm that any such transfer complies with the foregoing restrictions;

 

  (ii) it is a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined under Rule 144A under the Securities Act and is acquiring such Notes for its own account (and not for the account of others) or as a fiduciary or agent for others (which others also are “qualified institutional buyers”). It is familiar with Rule 144A under the Securities Act and is aware that the seller of such Notes and other parties intend to rely on the foregoing representations, warranties and acknowledgements and the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act provided by Rule 144A;

 

  (iii) it understands that Trust, the Indenture Trustee, the Depositor and others will rely upon the truth and accuracy of the foregoing acknowledgments, representations and agreements, and it agrees that if any of the acknowledgments, representations and warranties deemed to have been made by it by its purchase of such Notes, for its own account or for one or more accounts as to each of which it exercises sole investment discretion, are no longer accurate, it shall promptly notify the Depositor; and

 

  (iv) the Trust, the Indenture Trustee and the Depositor are entitled to rely upon the foregoing representations, warranties and acknowledgements and are irrevocably authorized to produce the foregoing representations, warranties and acknowledgments or a copy hereof to any interested party in any administrative or legal proceeding or official inquiry with respect to the matters covered hereby.

 

23


(d) Any transfer in violation of this Section 2.15 will be of no force and effect, will be void ab initio, and will not operate to transfer any rights to the transferee, notwithstanding any instructions to the contrary to the Trust, the Indenture Trustee, or any intermediary. The Trust (or any other entity whose separate existence from the Trust is disregarded for federal income tax purposes) may sell any Retained Notes acquired in violation of this Section 2.15 at the cost and risk of the purported owner. If at any time the Trust determines or is notified that the Noteholder or Note Owner, as the case may be, was in breach, at the time given, of any of the representations set forth in this Section 2.15, the Trust may consider the acquisition of such Retained Note or such beneficial interest in such Retained Note void and require that such Retained Note or such beneficial interest therein be transferred to a person designated by the Trust. If the transferee fails to transfer such Retained Note or such beneficial interests in such Retained Note within thirty (30) days after notice of the voided transfer, then the Trust shall cause such Noteholder’s interest or Note Owner’s interest in such Retained Note to be transferred in a commercially reasonable sale arranged by the Trust (conducted by the Trust or an agent of the Trust in accordance with Section 9-610(b) of the UCC as applied to securities that are sold on a recognized market or that may decline speedily in value), subject to satisfaction of the requirements set forth in this Section 2.15.

(e) During the period described in 17 CFR Part 246.12(f)(1), no Noteholder or Note Owner holding any Notes in satisfaction of CarMax’s obligations under 17 CFR Part 246 may transfer any such Note (or interest therein) until the expiration of such period; provided, that, during such period, such Noteholder or Note Owner may transfer any such Note (or interest therein) to CarMax or any “majority-owned affiliate” (as such term is defined in 17 CFR Part 246.2) of CarMax in accordance with the restrictions contained in 17 CFR Part 246.12. Any purported transfer of any such Note not in accordance with this Section 2.15(e) shall be null and void and shall not be given effect for any purpose whatsoever.

(f) Upon any sale or transfer of any Retained Note (or interest therein) as of the Closing Date, if for tax or other reasons it may be necessary to track any such Note (e.g., if the Notes have original issue discount), tracking conditions such as requiring separate CUSIPs or that such Notes be in definitive registered form may be required by the Depositor or the Administrator as a condition to such transfer and the Trust shall cause the Administrator to provide prior written notice of such sale or transfer and tracking condition to the Indenture Trustee.

ARTICLE III

Section 3.1 Payment of Principal and Interest. The Issuer shall duly and punctually pay the principal of and interest, if any, on the Notes in accordance with the terms of the Notes and this Indenture.

The Note Registrar shall maintain in St. Paul, Minnesota, an office or agency where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange, and where notices and demands to or upon the Note Registrar in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served. The Note Registrar shall give prompt written notice to the Issuer, the Depositor and 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 and the Note Registrar 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.

Section 3.3 Money for Payments To Be Held in Trust.

(a) As provided in Section 8.2, all payments of amounts due and payable with respect to the Notes that are to be made from amounts withdrawn from the applicable Trust Accounts shall be made on behalf of the Issuer by the Indenture Trustee or by another Paying Agent, and no amounts so withdrawn from the applicable Trust Accounts shall be paid over to the Issuer, except as provided in this Section 3.3.

(b) On or before each Distribution Date and Redemption Date, the Issuer shall deposit or cause to be deposited in the Note Payment Account an aggregate sum sufficient to pay the amounts then becoming due under the Notes, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto, and (unless the Paying Agent is the Indenture Trustee) shall promptly notify the Indenture Trustee of its action or failure so to act.

(c) The Issuer shall cause each Paying Agent other than the Indenture Trustee to execute and deliver to the Indenture Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Indenture Trustee (and if the Indenture Trustee acts as Paying Agent, it hereby so agrees), subject to the provisions of this Section 3.3, that such Paying Agent shall:

 

  (i) hold all sums held by it for the payment of amounts due with respect to the Notes in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and pay such sums to such Persons as herein provided;

25


  (v) comply with all requirements of the Code and any State or local tax law with respect to the withholding from any payments made by it on the Notes of any applicable withholding taxes imposed thereon and with respect to any applicable reporting requirements in connection therewith.

(d) The Issuer may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, by Issuer Order direct any Paying Agent to pay to the Indenture Trustee all sums held in trust by such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Indenture Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which such sums were held by such Paying Agent, and upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Indenture Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such sums.

(e) 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 (2) years after such amount has become due and payable shall be discharged from such trust and be paid to the Issuer on Issuer Request, 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 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 thirty (30) days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining shall be repaid to the Issuer. The Indenture Trustee shall also adopt and employ, at the expense and direction of the Issuer, any other reasonable means of notification of such repayment (including mailing notice of such repayment to Holders whose Notes have been called but have not been surrendered for redemption in whole pursuant to Section 10.1 or whose right to or interest in monies due and payable but not claimed is determinable from the records of the Indenture Trustee or of any Paying Agent at the last address of record for each such Holder).

Section 3.4 Existence. The Issuer shall keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a statutory trust under the laws of the State of Delaware (unless it becomes, or any successor Issuer hereunder is or becomes, organized under the laws of any other State or of the United States, in which case the Issuer shall keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises under the laws of such other jurisdiction) and shall obtain and preserve its qualification to do business in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes, the Collateral and each other instrument or agreement included in the Trust Estate.

 

26


Section 3.5 Protection of Trust Estate.

(a) The Issuer shall from time to time authorize, execute and deliver all such supplements and amendments hereto and all such financing statements, continuation statements, instruments of further assurance and other instruments, and shall take such other action, necessary or advisable to:

 

  (i) maintain or preserve the lien and security interest (and the priority thereof) of this Indenture or carry out more effectively the purposes hereof;

 

  (ii) perfect, publish notice of or protect the validity of any Grant made or to be made by this Indenture;

 

  (iii) enforce any of the Collateral; or

 

  (iv) preserve and defend title to the Trust Estate and the rights of the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders in the Trust Estate against the claims of all Persons.

(b) The Issuer hereby authorizes the Administrator and the Indenture Trustee to file any financing statement or continuation statement required pursuant to this Section 3.5 and designates the Administrator and the Indenture Trustee as its agent and attorney-in-fact to execute any other instrument required to be executed pursuant to this Section 3.5; it being understood that such authorization shall not be deemed to be an obligation on the part of the Administrator or the Indenture Trustee to make any such filing. The Issuer further hereby authorizes the Administrator and the Indenture Trustee to file any financing statement and amendments thereto that indicate the Collateral (A) as all assets of the Issuer, all personal property of the Issuer or words of similar effect, regardless of whether any particular asset included in the Collateral falls within the scope of Article 9 of the Relevant UCC, or (B) as being of an equal or lesser scope or with greater detail. If the Indenture Trustee prepares or files any such financing statement, continuation statement or amendment thereto, the Indenture Trustee’s responsibility with respect to such financing statement, continuation statement or amendment shall be subject to the provisions of Sections 6.1 and 6.4 hereof.

Such Opinion of Counsel shall also describe the recording, filing, re-recording and refiling of this Indenture, any indentures supplemental hereto and any other requisite documents and the authorization and filing of any financing statements and continuation statements that shall, in the opinion of such counsel, be required to maintain the lien and security interest of this Indenture until March 31 in the following year.

 

27


Section 3.7 Performance of Obligations; Servicing of Receivables.

(a) The Issuer shall not take any action and shall use its best efforts not to permit any action to be taken by others that would release any Person from any of such Person’s material covenants or obligations under any instrument or agreement included in the Trust Estate or that would result in the amendment, hypothecation, subordination, termination or discharge of, or impair the validity or effectiveness of, any such instrument or agreement, except as expressly provided in this Indenture and the other Transaction Documents.

(b) The Issuer may contract with other Persons to assist it in performing its duties under this Indenture, and any performance of such duties by a Person identified to the Indenture Trustee in an Issuer’s Certificate shall be deemed to be action taken by the Issuer. Initially, the Issuer has contracted with the Servicer and the Administrator to assist the Issuer in performing its duties under this Indenture.

(c) The Issuer shall punctually perform and observe all of its obligations and agreements contained in this Indenture, the other Transaction Documents and the instruments and agreements included in the Trust Estate, including filing or causing to be filed all financing statements and continuation statements required to be filed under the Relevant UCC by the terms of this Indenture and the Sale and Servicing Agreement in accordance with and within the time periods provided for herein and therein.

(d) If the Issuer shall have knowledge of the occurrence of an Event of Servicing Termination, the Issuer shall promptly notify the Depositor, the Indenture Trustee, the Rating Agencies and the Administrator in writing of such event and shall specify in such notice the action, if any, the Issuer is taking in respect of such default. If an Event of Servicing Termination shall arise from the failure of the Servicer to perform any of its duties or obligations under the Sale and Servicing Agreement with respect to the Receivables, the Issuer shall take all reasonable steps available to it to remedy such failure.

(e) As promptly as possible after the giving of notice of termination to the Servicer of the Servicer’s rights and powers pursuant to Section 8.1 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Issuer may (subject to the rights of the Indenture Trustee to direct such appointment pursuant to Section 8.2 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement) appoint a successor servicer (the “Successor Servicer”), and such Successor Servicer shall accept its appointment by a written assumption in a form acceptable to the Indenture Trustee. In the event that a Successor Servicer has not been appointed or has not accepted its appointment at the time when the Servicer ceases to act as Servicer, the Indenture Trustee, without further action, shall be the successor to the Servicer in all respects in accordance with Section 8.2 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. The Indenture Trustee may resign as the Servicer by giving written notice of such resignation to the Issuer and in such event shall be released from such duties and obligations, such release not to be effective until the date a new servicer enters into a servicing agreement with the Issuer as provided below. Upon delivery of any such notice to the Issuer, the Issuer shall

 

28


obtain a new servicer as the Successor Servicer under the Sale and Servicing Agreement. Any Successor Servicer (other than the Indenture Trustee) shall (i) be an established financial institution having a net worth of not less than $50,000,000 and whose regular business includes the servicing of motor vehicle installment sale contracts and (ii) enter into a servicing agreement with the Issuer having substantially the same provisions as the provisions of the Sale and Servicing Agreement applicable to the Servicer. If, within thirty (30) days after the delivery of the notice referred to above, the Issuer shall not have obtained such a new servicer, the Indenture Trustee may appoint, or may petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, a Successor Servicer. In connection with any such appointment, the Indenture Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor as it and such successor shall agree, subject to the limitations set forth below and in the Sale and Servicing Agreement, and, in accordance with Section 8.2 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Issuer shall enter into an agreement with such successor for the servicing of the Receivables (such agreement to be in form and substance satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee). If the Indenture Trustee shall succeed to the Servicer’s duties as servicer of the Receivables as provided herein, it shall do so in its individual capacity and not in its capacity as Indenture Trustee and, accordingly, the provisions of Article VI shall be inapplicable to the Indenture Trustee in its duties as the successor to the Servicer and the servicing of the Receivables. In case the Indenture Trustee shall become successor to the Servicer under the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to appoint as Servicer any one of its Affiliates; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee, in its capacity as the Servicer, shall be fully liable for the actions and omissions of such Affiliate in such capacity as Successor Servicer. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture to the contrary, in no event shall the Indenture Trustee be liable for any servicing fee or for any differential in the amount of the servicing fee paid under the Sale and Servicing Agreement and the amount necessary to induce any Successor Servicer to act as Successor Servicer under the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

(f) Upon any termination of the Servicer’s rights and powers pursuant to Section 8.1 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Issuer shall promptly notify the Depositor, the Indenture Trustee, the Administrator and the Rating Agencies in writing of such termination. Upon any appointment of a Successor Servicer by the Issuer, the Issuer shall promptly notify the Depositor, the Indenture Trustee, the Administrator and the Rating Agencies in writing of such appointment, specifying in such notice the name and address of such Successor Servicer.

(g) The Issuer shall not waive timely performance by the Depositor, the Seller or the Servicer of their respective obligations under the Transaction Documents if such waiver would reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect the interests of the Noteholders.

Section 3.8 Negative Covenants.

(a) If any Notes are Outstanding, the Issuer shall not:

 

  (i) except as expressly permitted by this Indenture, the Trust Agreement, the Receivables Purchase Agreement or the Sale and Servicing Agreement, sell, transfer, exchange or otherwise dispose of any of the properties or assets of the Issuer, including those included in the Trust Estate, unless directed to do so in writing by the Indenture Trustee;

 

29


  (ii) claim any credit on, or make any deduction from the principal or interest payable in respect of, the Notes (other than amounts properly withheld from such payments under the Code or applicable State law) or assert any claim against any present or former Noteholder by reason of the payment of taxes levied or assessed upon the Issuer;

 

  (iii) dissolve or liquidate in whole or in part;

 

  (iv) (A) permit the validity or effectiveness of this Indenture to be impaired, or permit the lien of this Indenture to be amended, hypothecated, subordinated, terminated or discharged, or permit any Person to be released from any covenants or obligations with respect to the Notes under this Indenture except as may be expressly permitted hereby, (B) permit any lien (including any lien arising in connection with any tax imposed under HB3), charge, excise, claim, security interest, mortgage or other encumbrance (other than the lien of this Indenture) to be created on or extend to or otherwise arise upon or burden the Trust Estate or any part thereof or any interest therein or the proceeds thereof (other than tax liens, mechanics’ liens and other liens that arise by operation of law, in each case on any of the Financed Vehicles and arising solely as a result of an action or omission of the related Obligor) or (C) permit the lien of this Indenture not to constitute a valid and perfected first priority (other than with respect to any such tax, mechanics’ or other lien) security interest in the Trust Estate;

 

  (v) engage in any activities other than financing, acquiring, owning, pledging and managing the Receivables as contemplated by the Receivables Purchase Agreement, the Trust Agreement, the Sale and Servicing Agreement and this Indenture and activities incidental to such activities; or

 

  (vi) incur, assume or guarantee any indebtedness other than the indebtedness evidenced by the Notes or indebtedness otherwise permitted by the Receivables Purchase Agreement, the Trust Agreement, the Sale and Servicing Agreement or this Indenture.

Section 3.9 Annual Statement as to Compliance.

(a) On or before May 31 of each year (commencing with the year 2019), the Issuer shall deliver to the Depositor and the Indenture Trustee an Issuer’s Certificate stating, as to the Authorized Officer signing such Issuer’s Certificate, that:

 

30


  (i) a review of the activities of the Issuer during the preceding Trust Fiscal Year (or, in the case of the Issuer’s Certificate to be delivered in the year 2019, during the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the last day of February 2019) and of its performance under this Indenture has been made under such Authorized Officer’s supervision; and

 

  (ii) to the best of such Authorized Officer’s knowledge, based on such review, the Issuer has complied in all material respects with all conditions and covenants under this Indenture throughout such preceding Trust Fiscal Year (or, in the case of the Issuer’s Certificate to be delivered in the year 2019, during the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the last day of February 2019) or, if there has been a default in its compliance with any such condition or covenant, specifying each such default known to such Authorized Officer and the nature and status thereof.

Section 3.10 Issuer May Consolidate, etc., Only on Certain Terms.

(a) The Issuer shall not consolidate or merge with or into any other Person, unless:

 

  (i) the Person formed by or surviving such consolidation or merger (if other than the Issuer) shall be a Person organized and existing under the laws of the United States or any State and shall expressly assume, by an indenture supplemental hereto, executed and delivered to the Indenture Trustee, in form satisfactory to the Depositor and the Indenture Trustee, the due and punctual payment of the principal of and interest on all Notes and the performance or observance of every agreement and covenant of this Indenture on the part of the Issuer to be performed or observed, all as provided herein;

 

  (ii) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;

 

  (iii) the Rating Agency Condition shall have been satisfied with respect to such transaction;

 

  (iv) the Issuer shall have received an Opinion of Counsel (and shall have delivered copies thereof to the Indenture Trustee) to the effect that such transaction will not have any material adverse tax consequence to the Issuer, any Noteholder or any Certificateholder;

 

  (v) any action that is necessary to maintain the lien and security interest created by this Indenture shall have been taken; and

 

31


  (vi) the Issuer shall have delivered to the Indenture Trustee an Issuer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation or merger and such supplemental indenture comply with this Article III and that all conditions precedent provided for in this Indenture relating to such transaction have been complied with (including any filing required by the Exchange Act).

(b) Other than as specifically contemplated by the Transaction Documents, the Issuer shall not convey or transfer any of its properties or assets, including those included in the Trust Estate, to any other Person, unless:

 

  (i) the Person that acquires by conveyance or transfer the properties or assets of the Issuer the conveyance or transfer of which is hereby restricted (A) shall be a United States citizen or a Person organized and existing under the laws of the United States or any State, (B) shall expressly assume, by an indenture supplemental hereto, executed and delivered to the Indenture Trustee, in form satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee, the due and punctual payment of the principal of and interest on all Notes and the performance or observance of every agreement and covenant of this Indenture on the part of the Issuer to be performed or observed, all as provided herein, (C) shall expressly agree by means of such supplemental indenture that all right, title and interest so conveyed or transferred shall be subject and subordinate to the rights of the Holders of the Notes, (D) unless otherwise provided in such supplemental indenture, shall expressly agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Issuer against and from any loss, liability or expense arising under or related to this Indenture and the Notes and (E) shall expressly agree by means of such supplemental indenture that such Person (or if a group of Persons, then one specified Person) shall make all filings with the Commission (and any other appropriate Person) required by the Exchange Act in connection with the Notes;

 

  (ii) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;

 

  (iii) the Rating Agency Condition shall have been satisfied with respect to such transaction;

(b) It is understood and intended that no one or more Holders of Notes shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holders of Notes or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other Holders of Notes or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided.

 

45


(c) In the event the Indenture Trustee shall receive conflicting or inconsistent requests and indemnity from two or more groups of Holders of Notes, each evidencing less than 51% of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class, the Indenture Trustee will take action in accordance with the direction of the greatest amount of Holders of Notes (measured by principal balance).

Section 5.7 Unconditional Rights of Noteholders to Receive Principal and Interest. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, the Holder of any Note shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and interest, if any, on such Note on the respective due dates thereof expressed in such Note or in this Indenture (or, in the case of redemption, on the Redemption Date) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such right shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.

Section 5.8 Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Indenture Trustee or any Noteholder has instituted any Proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such Proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or has been determined adversely to the Indenture Trustee or 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 5.9 Rights and Remedies Cumulative. No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

Section 5.10 Delay or Omission Not a Waiver. No delay or omission of the Indenture Trustee or any 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 any acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article V or by law to the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders, as the case may be.

Section 5.11 Control by Noteholders of the Controlling Class.

(a) The Holders of Notes evidencing not less than 51% of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any Proceeding for any remedy available to the Indenture Trustee with respect to the Notes or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Indenture Trustee; provided, however, that:

 

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

 

46


  (ii) subject to the express terms of Section 5.4, any written direction to the Indenture Trustee to sell or liquidate the Trust Estate shall be by the Holders of Notes evidencing not less than 100% of the Note Balance;

 

  (iii) if the conditions set forth in Section 5.5 have been satisfied and the Indenture Trustee elects to retain the Trust Estate pursuant to such section, then any written direction to the Indenture Trustee by the Holders of Notes evidencing less than 100% of the Note Balance to sell or liquidate the Trust Estate shall be of no force and effect; and

 

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

(b) Notwithstanding the rights of Noteholders set forth in this Section 5.11, subject to Section 6.1, the Indenture Trustee need not take any action that it reasonably believes might involve it in costs, expenses and liabilities for which it will not be adequately indemnified or might materially adversely affect the rights of any Noteholders not consenting to such action.

Section 5.12 Waiver of Past Defaults. Prior to the declaration of the acceleration of the maturity of the Notes as provided in Section 5.2, the Holders of Notes evidencing not less than 51% of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class, may, on behalf of all Noteholders, waive any past Default or Event of Default and its consequences except a Default or Event of Default (i) in the payment of principal of or interest on any of the Notes or (ii) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof that cannot be amended, supplemented or modified without the consent of all the Noteholders. Upon any such waiver, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereto. Upon any such waiver, such Default or Event of Default shall cease to exist and be deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred, for every purpose of this Indenture, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

Section 5.13 Undertaking for Costs. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Note by such Holder’s acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Indenture Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Indenture Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorney’s fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; provided, however, that the provisions of this Section 5.13 shall not apply to (i) any suit instituted by the Indenture Trustee, (ii) any suit instituted by any Noteholder or group of Noteholders, in each case holding Notes evidencing in the aggregate more than 10% of the Note Balance (or, in the case of any suit which is instituted by the Controlling Class, more than 10% of the Note Balance

 

47


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

Section 5.14 Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. The Issuer covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist upon, or plead or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture, and the Issuer (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it shall not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Indenture Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

Section 5.15 Action on Notes. The Indenture Trustee’s right to seek and recover judgment on the Notes or under this Indenture shall not be affected by the seeking, obtaining or application of any other relief under or with respect to this Indenture. Neither the lien of this Indenture nor any rights or remedies of the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders shall be impaired by the recovery of any judgment by the Indenture Trustee against the Issuer or by the levy of any execution under such judgment upon any portion of the Trust Estate or upon any of the assets of the Issuer. Any money or property collected by the Indenture Trustee shall be applied in accordance with Section 5.4(b).

Section 5.16 Performance and Enforcement of Certain Obligations.

(a) Promptly following a request from the Indenture Trustee to do so, and at the Administrator’s expense (or, if the Indenture Trustee is then acting as the Administrator, at the expense of CarMax), the Issuer shall take all such lawful action as the Indenture Trustee may request to compel or secure the performance and observance by the Depositor and the Servicer of their respective obligations to the Issuer under or in connection with the Sale and Servicing Agreement or by the Seller of its obligations under or in connection with the Receivables Purchase Agreement, and to exercise any and all rights, remedies, powers and privileges lawfully available to the Issuer under or in connection with the Sale and Servicing Agreement to the extent and in the manner directed by the Indenture Trustee, including the transmission of notices of default on the part of the Depositor or the Servicer thereunder and the institution of legal or administrative actions or proceedings to compel or secure performance by the Depositor and the Servicer of their respective obligations thereunder.

(b) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Indenture Trustee may, and at the direction (which direction shall be in writing or by telephone (confirmed in writing promptly thereafter)) of the Holders of Notes evidencing not less than 66 2/3% of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class shall (subject to Section 6.2(f)), exercise all rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims of the Issuer against the Depositor or the Servicer under or in connection with the Sale and Servicing Agreement or against the Seller under or in connection with the Receivables Purchase Agreement, including the right or power to take any action to compel or secure performance or observance by the Depositor or the Servicer, as the case may be, of its obligations to the Issuer thereunder and to give any consent, request, notice, direction, approval, extension or waiver under the Sale and Servicing Agreement or the Receivables Purchase Agreement, as the case may be, and any right of the Issuer to take such action shall be suspended.

 

48


(c) Promptly following a request from the Indenture Trustee to do so and at the Administrator’s expense, the Issuer agrees to take all such lawful action as the Indenture Trustee may request to compel or secure the performance and observance by the Seller of its obligations to the Depositor under or in connection with the Receivables Purchase Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof, and to exercise any and all rights, remedies, powers and privileges lawfully available to the Issuer under or in connection with the Receivables Purchase Agreement to the extent and in the manner directed by the Indenture Trustee, including the transmission of notices of default on the part of the Depositor thereunder and the institution of legal or administrative actions or proceedings to compel or secure performance by the Seller of its obligations under the Receivables Purchase Agreement.

(d) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Indenture Trustee may, and at the direction (which direction shall be in writing or by telephone (confirmed in writing promptly thereafter)) of the Holders of Notes evidencing not less than 66 2/3% of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class shall (subject to Section 6.2(f)), exercise all rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims of the Depositor against the Seller under or in connection with the Receivables Purchase Agreement, including the right or power to take any action to compel or secure performance or observance by the Seller of its obligations to the Depositor thereunder and to give any consent, request, notice, direction, approval, extension or waiver under the Receivables Purchase Agreement, and any right of the Depositor to take such action shall be suspended.

ARTICLE VI

THE INDENTURE TRUSTEE

Section 6.1 Duties of Indenture Trustee.

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

(b) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default:

 

  (i) the Indenture Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Indenture Trustee, and any discretion, permissive right or privilege shall not be deemed to be or otherwise construed as a duty or obligation; and

 

  (ii)

in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Indenture Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Indenture Trustee and, if required by the

 

49


  terms of this Indenture, conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee shall examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform on their face to the requirements of this Indenture.

(c) The Indenture Trustee may not be relieved from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct, except that:

 

  (i) this paragraph does not limit the effect of paragraph (b) of this Section 6.1;

 

  (ii) the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer unless it is proved that the Indenture Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;

 

  (iii) the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to Section 5.11; and

 

  (iv) the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for special, punitive, consequential, or indirect damages (including, among other things, lost profits).

(d) The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the Indenture Trustee may agree in writing with the Issuer.

(e) Money held in trust by the Indenture Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law or the terms of this Indenture or the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

(f) No provision of this Indenture shall require the Indenture Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers hereunder if the Indenture Trustee shall have reasonable grounds to believe that repayment of such funds or indemnity satisfactory to it against such risk or liability is not assured or provided to it.

(g) Every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Indenture Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 6.1 and the TIA.

(h) The Indenture Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any Event of Default, breach of a representation or warranty of any other party to the Transaction Documents or of any other event unless either (i) a Responsible Officer shall have actual knowledge of such Event of Default, breach of a representation or warranty or other event or (ii) written notice of such Event of Default, breach of a representation or warranty or other event shall have been given to the Indenture Trustee in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture; provided, however, that for the avoidance of doubt, the Indenture Trustee shall not be

 

50


deemed to have knowledge of a breach of representation or warranty solely as a result of the receipt and possession by the Indenture Trustee of the Review Report (as defined in the Asset Representations Review Agreement). Except as expressly provided in this Indenture, the Indenture Trustee shall have no duty to take any action to determine whether any Event of Default or other event has occurred.

(i) The Indenture Trustee shall be required to carry out its duties as specified in Sections 4.1, 4.7, 4.9, 7.4(c), 8.1, 8.2, 8.3(a), 8.4, 10.12 and 10.14 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. In furtherance of the foregoing, Sections 4.1, 4.7, 4.9, 7.4(c), 8.1, 8.2, 8.3(a), 8.4, 10.12 and 10.14 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement are hereby incorporated by reference into this Indenture to the extent that they refer to obligations of the Indenture Trustee.

(j) Subject to Sections 6.1(a) and (c), in no event shall the Indenture Trustee be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder arising out of or caused by, directly or indirectly, forces beyond its control, including, without limitation, strikes, work stoppages, acts of war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of God, and interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities; it being understood that the Indenture Trustee shall use reasonable efforts which are consistent with accepted practices in the banking industry to resume performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances.

(k) The Indenture Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any investor direction if the Indenture Trustee determines that the action or proceeding as directed may not lawfully be taken or if the Indenture Trustee in good faith determines that the action or proceeding so directed would involve it in personal liability or be unjustly prejudicial to the non-directing holders.

(l) The Indenture Trustee shall not have any obligation to investigate any matter or to exercise any powers vested by the Indenture Trustee unless requested by 25% or more of the Holders, and such Holders have assured to the Indenture Trustee indemnity satisfactory to it.

Section 6.2 Rights of Indenture Trustee.

(a) The Indenture Trustee may conclusively rely on any document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper Person.

(b) Before the Indenture Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may request and shall be entitled to receive an Issuer’s Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel. The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on an Issuer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel.

(c) The Indenture Trustee in any of its capacities may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys or a custodian or nominee, and the Indenture Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of, or for the supervision of, any such agent, attorney, custodian or nominee appointed with due care by it hereunder.

 

51


(d) The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith which it believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers; provided, however, that such action or omission by the Indenture Trustee does not constitute willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith.

(e) The Indenture Trustee may consult with counsel, and the advice or opinion of counsel with respect to legal matters relating to this Indenture and the Notes shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect to any action taken, omitted or suffered by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel.

(f) The Indenture Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction of the Noteholders pursuant to this Indenture, unless such Noteholders shall have offered to the Indenture Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction.

(g) The Indenture Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture or other paper or document, but the Indenture Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Indenture Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Issuer, personally or by agent or attorney. In no event shall the Indenture Trustee have any responsibility to monitor CarMax’s compliance with or be charged with knowledge of the risk retention rules of 17 CFR Part 246, nor shall it be liable to any investor, Holder, or any party whatsoever for violation of such rules or requirements or such similar provisions now or hereafter in effect.

(h) Any permissive right or privilege of the Indenture Trustee hereunder shall not be deemed to be or otherwise construed as a duty or obligation.

(i) The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for the failure to perform its duties hereunder if such failure is a direct or proximate result of another party failing to perform its duties.

Section 6.3 Individual Rights of Indenture Trustee. The Indenture Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Indenture Trustee. Any Paying Agent, Note Registrar, co-registrar or co-paying agent hereunder may do the same with like rights.

Section 6.4 Indenture Trustees Disclaimer. The Indenture Trustee (i) shall not be responsible for, and makes no representation as to, the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes, (ii) shall not be accountable for the Issuer’s use of the proceeds from the Notes or responsible for any statement of the Issuer in this Indenture or in any document issued in connection with the sale of the Notes or in the Notes other than the Indenture Trustee’s

 

52


certificate of authentication and (iii) shall not be responsible for the acts or omissions of any other party, including the Servicer, Seller and Depositor, and may assume each other party’s performance of its obligations under the Trust Agreement, the Receivables Purchase Agreement and the Sale and Servicing Agreement absent written notice or actual knowledge of a Responsible Officer to the contrary.

Section 6.5 Notice of Defaults. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if it is known to a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee shall mail to each Noteholder and the Administrator notice of such Event of Default within ninety (90) days after it occurs. Except in the case of an Event of Default described in Section 5.1(a)(i) or (ii) (including payments pursuant to the mandatory redemption provisions of such Note), the Indenture Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of Noteholders.

Section 6.6 Reports by Indenture Trustee to Holders. The Indenture Trustee shall make available, within a reasonable period of time after the end of each calendar year, to each Person who at any time during such calendar year was a Noteholder, such information furnished to the Indenture Trustee as may be required to enable such Person to prepare its federal and State income tax returns.

Section 6.7 Compensation and Indemnity.

(a) The Administrator, on behalf of the Issuer, shall pay to the Indenture Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation for its services. The Indenture Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Administrator, on behalf of the Issuer, shall reimburse the Indenture Trustee for all expenses, advances and disbursements reasonably incurred or made by it, including costs of collection, in addition to the compensation for its services; provided, however, that the Administrator need not reimburse the Indenture Trustee for any expense incurred through the Indenture Trustee’s willful misconduct, negligence, or bad faith. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee’s agents, counsel, accountants and experts. The Administrator, on behalf of the Issuer, shall indemnify the Indenture Trustee for, and hold it and its officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents, harmless against, any and all loss, liability, cost or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and court costs, and any loss or expense incurred in connection with a successful defense, in whole or in part, of any claim that the Indenture Trustee breached its standard of care) incurred by it in connection with the administration of this trust and the performance of its duties hereunder, including those incurred in connection with any action, claim or suit brought to enforce the Indenture Trustee’s right to indemnification; provided, however, that the Administrator need not indemnify the Indenture Trustee for, or hold it harmless against, any such loss, liability, cost or expense incurred through the Indenture Trustee’s willful misconduct, negligence, or bad faith. The Indenture Trustee shall notify the Issuer and the Administrator promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Any failure by the Indenture Trustee to so notify the Issuer and the Administrator shall not, however, relieve the Administrator of its obligations hereunder. The Administrator, on behalf of the Issuer, shall defend any such claim. The Indenture Trustee may have separate counsel in connection with the defense of any such claim, and the Administrator, on behalf of the Issuer, shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel. If the Indenture Trustee is then acting as Administrator, all payment obligations to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section 6.7 shall be paid by CarMax.

 

53


(b) The payment obligations to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section 6.7 shall survive the resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee and the discharge of this Indenture.

(c) When the Indenture Trustee incurs fees or expenses after the occurrence of a Default specified in Section 5.1(a)(v) or Section 5.1(a)(vi) with respect to the Issuer, such fees and expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under Title 11 of the United States Code or any other applicable federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.

Section 6.8 Replacement of Indenture Trustee.

(a) No resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee, and no appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee, shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section 6.8. The Indenture Trustee may resign at any time by providing the Issuer, the Administrator, the Depositor and the Noteholders with at least 60 days’ advance written notice. The Holders of Notes evidencing not less than 51% of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class may remove the Indenture Trustee without cause by notifying the Indenture Trustee (with a copy to the Issuer, the Administrator, the Depositor and the Rating Agencies) of such removal and, following such removal, may appoint a successor Indenture Trustee. The Issuer shall remove the Indenture Trustee if:

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

(b) If the Indenture Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Indenture Trustee for any reason (the Indenture Trustee in such event being referred to herein as the retiring Indenture Trustee), the Administrator shall promptly appoint a successor Indenture Trustee.

(c) Any successor Indenture Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Indenture Trustee, the Issuer, the Administrator and the Depositor. Upon delivery of such written acceptance, the resignation or removal of the retiring Indenture Trustee shall become effective and the successor Indenture Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Indenture Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to the Noteholders. The retiring Indenture Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Indenture Trustee to the successor Indenture Trustee.

 

54


(d) If a successor Indenture Trustee does not take office within sixty (60) days after the retiring Indenture Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Indenture Trustee, the Issuer or the Holders of Notes evidencing not less than 51% of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee. If the Indenture Trustee fails to comply with Section 6.11, any Noteholder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Indenture Trustee and the appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee.

(e) Notwithstanding the replacement of the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section 6.8, the Administrator’s obligations under Section 6.7 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Indenture Trustee.

Section 6.9 Successor Indenture Trustee by Merger.

(a) If the Indenture Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all its corporate trust business or assets to another corporation or banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation or banking association without any further act shall be the successor Indenture Trustee; provided, however, that such corporation or banking association must be otherwise qualified and eligible under Section 6.11. The Indenture Trustee shall provide the Rating Agencies, the Administrator and the Depositor with prior written notice of any such transaction.

(b) If at the time such successor or successors by consolidation, merger or conversion to the Indenture Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture any of the Notes shall 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 such successor to the Indenture Trustee may authenticate such Notes either in the name of any predecessor trustee or in the name of the successor to the Indenture Trustee. In all such cases such certificates shall have the full force which the Notes or this Indenture provide that the certificate of the Indenture Trustee shall have.

Section 6.10 Appointment of Co-Indenture Trustee or Separate Indenture Trustee.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirement of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust Estate may at the time be located, the Indenture Trustee shall have the power and may execute and deliver an instrument to appoint one or more Persons to act as a co-trustee or co-trustees, jointly with the Indenture Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Trust Estate, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the Noteholders, such title to the Trust Estate, or any part hereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 6.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Indenture Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. No co-trustee or separate trustee under this Indenture shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 6.11 and no notice of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required under Section 6.8.

 

55


(b) Each separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and conditions:

 

  (i) all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Indenture Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Indenture Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being understood that such separate trustee or co-trustee shall not be authorized to act separately without the Indenture Trustee joining in such act), except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed the Indenture Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to the Trust Estate or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed singly by such separate trustee or co-trustee, but solely at the direction of the Indenture Trustee;

 

  (ii) no trustee under this Indenture shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee under this Indenture; and

 

  (iii) the Indenture Trustee may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee.

(c) Any notice, request or other writing given to the Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Indenture and the conditions of this Article VI. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Indenture Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Indenture, specifically including every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Indenture Trustee. Each such instrument shall be filed with the Indenture Trustee.

(d) Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time constitute the Indenture Trustee its agent or attorney-in-fact with full power and authority, to the extent permitted by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this Indenture on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the Indenture Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor trustee.

Section 6.11 Eligibility; Disqualification.

(a) The Indenture Trustee shall at all times satisfy the requirements of TIA Section 310(a). The Indenture Trustee or its parent shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition and shall have a long-term debt rating acceptable to each of the Rating Agencies.

The Indenture Trustee shall provide to the Servicer the voting instructions and procedures applicable to the Noteholders and Note Owners to be included in the Form 10-D filed by the Issuer with the Commission.

Section 11.2 Form of Documents Delivered to Indenture Trustee.

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

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

(c) Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other instruments under this Indenture, they may, but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument.

(d) Whenever in this Indenture, in connection with any application or certificate or report to the Indenture Trustee, it is provided that the 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 VI.

Section 11.3 Acts of Noteholders.

(a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by the Noteholders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by the 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.

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.

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

(c) If, 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.

 

72


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

(e) If the Indenture Trustee receives a Repurchase Request and the Depositor or CarMax does not repurchase the Receivables related to such Repurchase Request within one hundred eighty (180) days of the receipt of such Repurchase Request, the Indenture Trustee, at the direction of the Administrator pursuant to Section 2(b)(viii) of the Administration Agreement, shall deliver a Repurchase Response Notice to the related Noteholder or Note Owner.

Notwithstanding any other provisions 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 shall furnish to the Indenture Trustee a copy of each such agreement and the Indenture Trustee shall cause payments to be made and notices to be given in accordance with such agreements.

[REVERSE OF CLASS A-1 NOTE]

This Class A-1 Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Issuer, designated as its 2.30000% Class A-1 Asset-backed Notes, which, together with the 2.73% Class A-2 Asset-backed Notes, the 2.98% Class A-3 Asset-backed Notes, the 3.16% Class A-4 Asset-backed Notes, the 3.37% Class B Asset-backed Notes, the 3.57% Class C Asset-backed Notes and the 3.99% Class D Asset-backed Notes (collectively, the “Notes”), are issued under the Indenture, to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights and obligations thereunder of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Holders of the Notes. The Notes are subject to all terms of the Indenture.

The Class A-1 Notes are and shall be equally and ratably secured by the collateral pledged as security therefor as provided in the Indenture. The Class A-2 Notes, the Class A-3 Notes, the Class A-4 Notes, the Class B Notes, the Class C Notes and the Class D Notes are subordinated to the Class A-1 Notes to the extent set forth in the Indenture and the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

As described above, the entire unpaid principal amount of this Class A-1 Note shall be due and payable on the earlier of the Class A-1 Final Distribution Date and the Redemption Date, if any, pursuant to Section 10.1 of the Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire unpaid principal amount of the Notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon through the date of acceleration, shall be due and payable on the date on which an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing if the Indenture Trustee or the Holders of Notes evidencing not less than 51% of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class have declared the Notes to be immediately due and payable in the manner provided in Section 5.2 of the Indenture. All principal payments on the Class A-1 Notes shall be made pro rata to the Holders entitled thereto if the Notes have been declared immediately due and payable.

Payments of interest on this Class A-1 Note due and payable on any Distribution Date, together with the installment of principal, if any, due and payable on such Distribution Date, to the extent not in full payment of this Class A-1 Note, shall be made by check mailed to the Person whose name appears as the Holder of this Class A-1 Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) on the Note Register as of the close of business on the Record Date preceding such Distribution Date or by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account designated in writing to the Indenture Trustee by such Person at least five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date, except that with respect to Class A-1 Notes registered on the Record Date in the name of the nominee of the Clearing Agency (initially, such nominee to be Cede & Co.), payments will be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account designated by such nominee. Such checks shall be mailed to the Person entitled thereto at the address of such Person as it appears on the Note Register as of such Record Date without requiring that this Class A-1 Note be submitted for notation of payment. Any reduction in the principal amount of this Class A-1 Note (or any one or more Predecessor Notes) effected by any payments made on any Distribution Date shall be binding upon all future Holders of this Class A-1 Note and of any Class A-1 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 then remaining unpaid principal amount of this Class A-1 Note on a Distribution Date, then the Indenture Trustee, in the name of and on behalf of the

 

Ex. A-1-6


Issuer, shall notify the Person who was the Holder hereof as of the Record Date preceding such Distribution Date by notice mailed or transmitted by facsimile prior to such Distribution Date, and the amount then due and payable shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of this Class A-1 Note at the Indenture Trustee’s Corporate Trust Office or at the office of the Indenture Trustee’s agent appointed for such purposes located in St. Paul, Minnesota.

The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the Class A-1 Rate to the extent lawful.

As provided in the Indenture, the Notes may be redeemed, in whole but not in part, in the manner and to the extent described in the Indenture and the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

As provided in the Indenture, and subject to certain limitations set forth therein, the transfer of this Class A-1 Note may be registered on the Note Register upon surrender of this Class A-1 Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency designated by the Issuer pursuant to the Indenture, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee duly executed by, the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, with such signature guaranteed by an “eligible guarantor institution” meeting the requirements of the Note Registrar, and thereupon one or more new Class A-1 Notes in any authorized denomination and in the same aggregate principal amount will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. No service charge will be charged for any registration of transfer or exchange of this Class A-1 Note, but the transferor may be required to pay a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any such registration of transfer or exchange.

Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by its acceptance of a Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note, covenants and agrees that no recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee on the Notes or under the Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered in connection therewith against (i) the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee, each in its individual capacity, (ii) any holder of a beneficial interest in the Issuer or (iii) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer, director or employee of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee, each in its individual capacity, or any holder of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee or any successor or assign of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee, each in its individual capacity, except as any such Person may have expressly agreed and except that any such partner, owner or beneficiary shall be fully liable, to the extent provided by applicable law, for any unpaid consideration for stock, unpaid capital contribution for stock, unpaid capital contribution or failure to pay any installment or call owing to such entity.

Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by its acceptance of a Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note, covenants and agrees that such Noteholder or Note Owner shall not at any time institute against the Depositor or the Issuer, or join in any institution against the Depositor or the Issuer of, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under any United States federal or State bankruptcy or similar law in connection with any obligations relating to the Notes, the Certificates, the Indenture or any of the other Transaction Documents.

 

Ex. A-1-7


Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by its acceptance of this Note other than a Retained Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in this Note, represents and warrants that either (a) it is not acquiring such Note (or an interest therein) with the assets of any (i) “employee benefit plan” (as defined in Section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”)) subject to the fiduciary requirements of ERISA, (ii) “plan” described in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), including individual retirement accounts and Keogh plans, that is subject to the provisions of Section 4975 of the Code, (iii) entity whose underlying assets include “plan assets” within the meaning of the United States Department of Labor Regulation 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101, as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA, by reason of an employee benefit plan’s or plan’s investment in such entity or (iv) employee benefit plan or arrangement not subject to Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code; or (b) (i) the acquisition and holding of such Note will not constitute or result in a non-exempt “prohibited transaction” under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or a violation of any substantially similar applicable law and (ii) certain other requirements are satisfied, if applicable, as set forth in Section 2.5(k) of the Indenture.

Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by its acceptance of this Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in this Note, agrees to provide to the Indenture Trustee, any Paying Agent or the Issuer, upon its request, the Noteholder Tax Identification Information and, to the extent FATCA Withholding Tax is applicable, the Noteholder FATCA Information. In addition, each Noteholder or Note Owner, by its acceptance of this Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in this Note, agrees that the Indenture Trustee has the right to withhold any amounts of interest (properly withholdable under law and without any corresponding gross-up) payable to a Noteholder or holder of an interest in a Note that fails to comply with the requirements of the preceding sentence.

The Issuer has entered into the Indenture and this Class A-1 Note is issued with the intention that, for federal, State and local income, and franchise tax purposes, the Notes (other than any Retained Notes) will qualify as indebtedness of the Issuer secured by the Trust Estate. Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by its acceptance of a Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note, agrees to treat the Notes (other than any Retained Notes) for federal, State and local income, single business and franchise tax purposes as indebtedness of the Issuer.

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

The Indenture permits the Owner Trustee, on behalf of the Issuer, and the Indenture Trustee, with certain exceptions therein provided, to amend or waive from time to time certain terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture without the consent of the Holders of the Notes. The Indenture also permits the Owner Trustee, on behalf of the Issuer, and the Indenture Trustee, with certain exceptions as therein provided, to amend or waive from time to time certain terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture with the consent of the Holders of Notes evidencing not

 

Ex. A-1-8


less than 51% of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class. The Indenture also permits the Holders of Notes evidencing not less than 51% of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class, on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes, to waive compliance by the Issuer with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holders of not less than 51% of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class or the Holder of this Class A-1 Note (or any one or more Predecessor Notes) shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and on all future Holders of this Class A-1 Note and of any Class A-1 Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Class A-1 Note.

The term “Issuer”, as used in this Note, includes any successor to the Issuer under the Indenture.

The Indenture permits the Issuer, under certain circumstances, to consolidate or merge with or into another Person, subject to the rights of the Indenture Trustee and the Holders of Notes under the Indenture.

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

THIS CLASS A-1 NOTE AND THE INDENTURE SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER AND THEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE CONFLICTS OF LAWS PROVISIONS THEREOF WHICH MAY REQUIRE THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION (OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW).

No reference herein to the Indenture, and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture, shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Class A-1 Note at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, except as expressly provided in the Transaction Documents, none of Wilmington Trust, National Association, in its individual capacity, U.S. Bank Trust National Association, in its individual capacity, any holder of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, or any of their respective owners, beneficiaries, agents, officers, directors, employees or successors or assigns shall be personally liable for, nor shall recourse be had to any of them for, the payment of principal of or interest on this Class A-1 Note or the performance of, or omission to perform, any of the covenants, obligations or indemnifications contained in the Indenture. The Holder of this Note, by its acceptance hereof, agrees that, except as expressly provided in the Transaction Documents, in the case of an Event of Default under the Indenture, the Holder shall have no claim against any of the foregoing for any deficiency, loss or claim resulting therefrom; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be taken to prevent recourse to, or enforcement against, the assets of the Issuer for any and all liabilities, obligations and undertakings contained in the Indenture or in this Class A-1 Note.

[REVERSE OF CLASS A-2 NOTE]

This Class A-2 Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Issuer, designated as its 2.73% Class A-2 Asset-backed Notes, which, together with the 2.30000% Class A-1 Asset-backed Notes, the 2.98% Class A-3 Asset-backed Notes, the 3.16% Class A-4 Asset-backed Notes, the 3.37% Class B Asset-backed Notes, the 3.57% Class C Asset-backed Notes and the 3.99% Class D Asset-backed Notes (collectively, the “Notes”), are issued under the Indenture, to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights and obligations thereunder of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Holders of the Notes. The Notes are subject to all terms of the Indenture.

The Class A-2 Notes are and shall be equally and ratably secured by the collateral pledged as security therefor as provided in the Indenture. The Class A-2 Notes are subordinated to the Class A-1 Notes to the extent set forth in the Indenture and the Sale and Servicing Agreement. The Class A-3 Notes, the Class A-4 Notes, the Class B Notes, the Class C Notes and the Class D Notes are subordinated to the Class A-2 Notes to the extent set forth in the Indenture and the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

As described above, the entire unpaid principal amount of this Class A-2 Note shall be due and payable on the earlier of the Class A-2 Final Distribution Date and the Redemption Date, if any, pursuant to Section 10.1 of the Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire unpaid principal amount of the Notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon through the date of acceleration, shall be due and payable on the date on which an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing if the Indenture Trustee or the Holders of Notes evidencing not less than 51% of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class have declared the Notes to be immediately due and payable in the manner provided in Section 5.2 of the Indenture. All principal payments on the Class A-2 Notes shall be made pro rata to the Holders entitled thereto if the Notes have been declared immediately due and payable.

Payments of interest on this Class A-2 Note due and payable on any Distribution Date, together with the installment of principal, if any, due and payable on such Distribution Date, to the extent not in full payment of this Class A-2 Note, shall be made by check mailed to the Person whose name appears as the Holder of this Class A-2 Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) on the Note Register as of the close of business on the Record Date preceding such Distribution Date or by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account designated in writing to the Indenture Trustee by such Person at least five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date, except that with respect to Class A-2 Notes registered on the Record Date in the name of the nominee of the Clearing Agency (initially, such nominee to be Cede & Co.), payments will be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account designated by such nominee. Such checks shall be mailed to the Person entitled thereto at the address of such Person as it appears on the Note Register as of such Record Date without requiring that this Class A-2 Note be submitted for notation of payment. Any reduction in the principal amount of this Class A-2 Note (or any one or more Predecessor Notes) effected by any payments made on any Distribution Date shall be binding upon all future Holders of this Class A-2 Note and of any Class A-2 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 then remaining unpaid principal amount of this Class A-2

No service charge will be charged for any registration of transfer or exchange of this Class A-2 Note, but the transferor may be required to pay a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any such registration of transfer or exchange.

Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by its acceptance of a Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note, covenants and agrees that no recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee on the Notes or under the Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered in connection therewith against (i) the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee, each in its individual capacity, (ii) any holder of a beneficial interest in the Issuer or (iii) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer, director or employee of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee, each in its individual capacity, or any holder of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee or any successor or assign of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee, each in its individual capacity, except as any such Person may have expressly agreed and except that any such partner, owner or beneficiary shall be fully liable, to the extent provided by applicable law, for any unpaid consideration for stock, unpaid capital contribution for stock, unpaid capital contribution or failure to pay any installment or call owing to such entity.

Ex. A-2-7


Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by its acceptance of this Note other than a Retained Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in this Note, represents and warrants that either (a) it is not acquiring such Note (or an interest therein) with the assets of any (i) “employee benefit plan” (as defined in Section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”)) subject to the fiduciary requirements of ERISA, (ii) “plan” described in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), including individual retirement accounts and Keogh plans, that is subject to the provisions of Section 4975 of the Code, (iii) entity whose underlying assets include “plan assets” within the meaning of the United States Department of Labor Regulation 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101, as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA, by reason of an employee benefit plan’s or plan’s investment in such entity or (iv) employee benefit plan or arrangement not subject to Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code; or (b) (i) the acquisition and holding of such Note will not constitute or result in a non-exempt “prohibited transaction” under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or a violation of any substantially similar applicable law and (ii) certain other requirements are satisfied, if applicable, as set forth in Section 2.5(k) of the Indenture.

Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by its acceptance of this Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in this Note, agrees to provide to the Indenture Trustee, any Paying Agent or the Issuer, upon its request, the Noteholder Tax Identification Information and, to the extent FATCA Withholding Tax is applicable, the Noteholder FATCA Information. In addition, each Noteholder or Note Owner, by its acceptance of this Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in this Note, agrees that the Indenture Trustee has the right to withhold any amounts of interest (properly withholdable under law and without any corresponding gross-up) payable to a Noteholder or holder of an interest in a Note that fails to comply with the requirements of the preceding sentence.

The Issuer has entered into the Indenture and this Class A-2 Note is issued with the intention that, for federal, State and local income, and franchise tax purposes, the Notes (other than any Retained Notes) will qualify as indebtedness of the Issuer secured by the Trust Estate. Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by its acceptance of a Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note, agrees to treat the Notes (other than any Retained Notes) for federal, State and local income, single business and franchise tax purposes as indebtedness of the Issuer.

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

The Indenture permits the Owner Trustee, on behalf of the Issuer, and the Indenture Trustee, with certain exceptions therein provided, to amend or waive from time to time certain terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture without the consent of the Holders of the Notes. The Indenture also permits the Owner Trustee, on behalf of the Issuer, and the Indenture Trustee, with certain exceptions as therein provided, to amend or waive from time to time certain terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture with the consent of the Holders of Notes evidencing not

 

Ex. A-2-8


less than 51% of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class. The Indenture also permits the Holders of Notes evidencing not less than 51% of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class, on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes, to waive compliance by the Issuer with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holders of not less than 51% of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class or the Holder of this Class A-2 Note (or any one or more Predecessor Notes) shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and on all future Holders of this Class A-2 Note and of any Class A-2 Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Class A-2 Note.

The term “Issuer”, as used in this Note, includes any successor to the Issuer under the Indenture.

The Indenture permits the Issuer, under certain circumstances, to consolidate or merge with or into another Person, subject to the rights of the Indenture Trustee and the Holders of Notes under the Indenture.

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

THIS CLASS A-2 NOTE AND THE INDENTURE SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER AND THEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE CONFLICTS OF LAWS PROVISIONS THEREOF WHICH MAY REQUIRE THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION (OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW).

No reference herein to the Indenture, and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture, shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Class A-2 Note at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, except as expressly provided in the Transaction Documents, none of Wilmington Trust, National Association, in its individual capacity, U.S. Bank Trust National Association, in its individual capacity, any holder of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, or any of their respective owners, beneficiaries, agents, officers, directors, employees or successors or assigns shall be personally liable for, nor shall recourse be had to any of them for, the payment of principal of or interest on this Class A-2 Note or the performance of, or omission to perform, any of the covenants, obligations or indemnifications contained in the Indenture. The Holder of this Note, by its acceptance hereof, agrees that, except as expressly provided in the Transaction Documents, in the case of an Event of Default under the Indenture, the Holder shall have no claim against any of the foregoing for any deficiency, loss or claim resulting therefrom; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be taken to prevent recourse to, or enforcement against, the assets of the Issuer for any and all liabilities, obligations and undertakings contained in the Indenture or in this Class A-2 Note.

The Notes are subject to all terms of the Indenture.

The Class A-3 Notes are and shall be equally and ratably secured by the collateral pledged as security therefor as provided in the Indenture. The Class A-3 Notes are subordinated to the Class A-1 Notes and the Class A-2 Notes to the extent set forth in the Indenture and the Sale and Servicing Agreement. The Class A-4 Notes, the Class B Notes, the Class C Notes and the Class D Notes are subordinated to the Class A-3 Notes to the extent set forth in the Indenture and the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

As described above, the entire unpaid principal amount of this Class A-3 Note shall be due and payable on the earlier of the Class A-3 Final Distribution Date and the Redemption Date, if any, pursuant to Section 10.1 of the Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire unpaid principal amount of the Notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon through the date of acceleration, shall be due and payable on the date on which an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing if the Indenture Trustee or the Holders of Notes evidencing not less than 51% of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class have declared the Notes to be immediately due and payable in the manner provided in Section 5.2 of the Indenture. All principal payments on the Class A-3 Notes shall be made pro rata to the Holders entitled thereto if the Notes have been declared immediately due and payable.

Payments of interest on this Class A-3 Note due and payable on any Distribution Date, together with the installment of principal, if any, due and payable on such Distribution Date, to the extent not in full payment of this Class A-3 Note, shall be made by check mailed to the Person whose name appears as the Holder of this Class A-3 Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) on the Note Register as of the close of business on the Record Date preceding such Distribution Date or by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account designated in writing to the Indenture Trustee by such Person at least five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date, except that with respect to Class A-3 Notes registered on the Record Date in the name of the nominee of the Clearing Agency (initially, such nominee to be Cede & Co.), payments will be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account designated by such nominee. Such checks shall be mailed to the Person entitled thereto at the address of such Person as it appears on the Note Register as of such Record Date without requiring that this Class A-3 Note be submitted for notation of payment. Any reduction in the principal amount of this Class A-3 Note (or any one or more Predecessor Notes) effected by any payments made on any Distribution Date shall be binding upon all future Holders of this Class A-3 Note and of any Class A-3 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 then remaining unpaid principal amount of this Class A-3

The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the Class A-3 Rate to the extent lawful.

No service charge will be charged for any registration of transfer or exchange of this Class A-3 Note, but the transferor may be required to pay a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any such registration of transfer or exchange.

Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by its acceptance of a Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note, covenants and agrees that no recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee on the Notes or under the Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered in connection therewith against (i) the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee, each in its individual capacity, (ii) any holder of a beneficial interest in the Issuer or (iii) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer, director or employee of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee, each in its individual capacity, or any holder of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee or any successor or assign of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee, each in its individual capacity, except as any such Person may have expressly agreed and except that any such partner, owner or beneficiary shall be fully liable, to the extent provided by applicable law, for any unpaid consideration for stock, unpaid capital contribution for stock, unpaid capital contribution or failure to pay any installment or call owing to such entity.

Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by its acceptance of a Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note, covenants and agrees that such Noteholder or Note Owner shall not at any time institute against the Depositor or the Issuer, or join in any institution against the Depositor or the Issuer of, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under any United States federal or State bankruptcy or similar law in connection with any obligations relating to the Notes, the Certificates, the Indenture or any of the other Transaction Documents.

 

Ex. A-3-7


Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by its acceptance of this Note other than a Retained Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in this Note, represents and warrants that either (a) it is not acquiring such Note (or an interest therein) with the assets of any (i) “employee benefit plan” (as defined in Section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”)) subject to the fiduciary requirements of ERISA, (ii) “plan” described in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), including individual retirement accounts and Keogh plans, that is subject to the provisions of Section 4975 of the Code, (iii) entity whose underlying assets include “plan assets” within the meaning of the United States Department of Labor Regulation 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101, as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA, by reason of an employee benefit plan’s or plan’s investment in such entity or (iv) employee benefit plan or arrangement not subject to Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code; or (b) (i) the acquisition and holding of such Note will not constitute or result in a non-exempt “prohibited transaction” under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or a violation of any substantially similar applicable law and (ii) certain other requirements are satisfied, if applicable, as set forth in Section 2.5(k) of the Indenture.

Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by its acceptance of this Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in this Note, agrees to provide to the Indenture Trustee, any Paying Agent or the Issuer, upon its request, the Noteholder Tax Identification Information and, to the extent FATCA Withholding Tax is applicable, the Noteholder FATCA Information. In addition, each Noteholder or Note Owner, by its acceptance of this Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in this Note, agrees that the Indenture Trustee has the right to withhold any amounts of interest (properly withholdable under law and without any corresponding gross-up) payable to a Noteholder or holder of an interest in a Note that fails to comply with the requirements of the preceding sentence.

The Issuer has entered into the Indenture and this Class A-3 Note is issued with the intention that, for federal, State and local income, and franchise tax purposes, the Notes (other than any Retained Notes) will qualify as indebtedness of the Issuer secured by the Trust Estate. Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by its acceptance of a Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note, agrees to treat the Notes (other than any Retained Notes) for federal, State and local income, single business and franchise tax purposes as indebtedness of the Issuer.

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

The Indenture permits the Owner Trustee, on behalf of the Issuer, and the Indenture Trustee, with certain exceptions therein provided, to amend or waive from time to time certain terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture without the consent of the Holders of the Notes. The Indenture also permits the Owner Trustee, on behalf of the Issuer, and the Indenture Trustee, with certain exceptions as therein provided, to amend or waive from time to time certain terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture with the consent of the Holders of Notes evidencing not

 

Ex. A-3-8


less than 51% of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class. The Indenture also permits the Holders of Notes evidencing not less than 51% of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class, on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes, to waive compliance by the Issuer with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holders of not less than 51% of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class or the Holder of this Class A-3 Note (or any one or more Predecessor Notes) shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and on all future Holders of this Class A-3 Note and of any Class A-3 Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Class A-3 Note.

The term “Issuer”, as used in this Note, includes any successor to the Issuer under the Indenture.

The Indenture permits the Issuer, under certain circumstances, to consolidate or merge with or into another Person, subject to the rights of the Indenture Trustee and the Holders of Notes under the Indenture.

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

THIS CLASS A-3 NOTE AND THE INDENTURE SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER AND THEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE CONFLICTS OF LAWS PROVISIONS THEREOF WHICH MAY REQUIRE THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION (OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW).

No reference herein to the Indenture, and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture, shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Class A-3 Note at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, except as expressly provided in the Transaction Documents, none of Wilmington Trust, National Association, in its individual capacity, U.S. Bank Trust National Association, in its individual capacity, any holder of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, or any of their respective owners, beneficiaries, agents, officers, directors, employees or successors or assigns shall be personally liable for, nor shall recourse be had to any of them for, the payment of principal of or interest on this Class A-3 Note or the performance of, or omission to perform, any of the covenants, obligations or indemnifications contained in the Indenture. The Holder of this Note, by its acceptance hereof, agrees that, except as expressly provided in the Transaction Documents, in the case of an Event of Default under the Indenture, the Holder shall have no claim against any of the foregoing for any deficiency, loss or claim resulting therefrom; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be taken to prevent recourse to, or enforcement against, the assets of the Issuer for any and all liabilities, obligations and undertakings contained in the Indenture or in this Class A-3 Note.

The Issuer has entered into the Indenture and this Class A-4 Note is issued with the intention that, for federal, State and local income, and franchise tax purposes, the Notes (other than any Retained Notes) will qualify as indebtedness of the Issuer secured by the Trust Estate. Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by its acceptance of a Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note, agrees to treat the Notes (other than any Retained Notes) for federal, State and local income, single business and franchise tax purposes as indebtedness of the Issuer.

less than 51% of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class. The Indenture also permits the Holders of Notes evidencing not less than 51% of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class, on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes, to waive compliance by the Issuer with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holders of not less than 51% of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class or the Holder of this Class A-4 Note (or any one or more Predecessor Notes) shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and on all future Holders of this Class A-4 Note and of any Class A-4 Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Class A-4 Note.

The term “Issuer”, as used in this Note, includes any successor to the Issuer under the Indenture.

The Indenture permits the Issuer, under certain circumstances, to consolidate or merge with or into another Person, subject to the rights of the Indenture Trustee and the Holders of Notes under the Indenture.

The Holder of this Note, by its acceptance hereof, agrees that, except as expressly provided in the Transaction Documents, in the case of an Event of Default under the Indenture, the Holder shall have no claim against any of the foregoing for any deficiency, loss or claim resulting therefrom; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be taken to prevent recourse to, or enforcement against, the assets of the Issuer for any and all liabilities, obligations and undertakings contained in the Indenture or in this Class A-4 Note.

Any such consent or waiver by the Holders of not less than 51% of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class or the Holder of this Class B Note (or any one or more Predecessor Notes) shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and on all future Holders of this Class B Note and of any Class B Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Class B Note.

The term “Issuer”, as used in this Note, includes any successor to the Issuer under the Indenture.

The Indenture permits the Issuer, under certain circumstances, to consolidate or merge with or into another Person, subject to the rights of the Indenture Trustee and the Holders of Notes under the Indenture.

The Holder of this Note, by its acceptance hereof, agrees that, except as expressly provided in the Transaction Documents, in the case of an Event of Default under the Indenture, the Holder shall have no claim against any of the foregoing for any deficiency, loss or claim resulting therefrom; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be taken to prevent recourse to, or enforcement against, the assets of the Issuer for any and all liabilities, obligations and undertakings contained in the Indenture or in this Class B Note.

The Notes are subject to all terms of the Indenture.

The Class C Notes are and shall be equally and ratably secured by the collateral pledged as security therefor as provided in the Indenture. The Class C Notes are subordinated to the Class A-1 Notes, the Class A-2 Notes, the Class A-3 Notes, the Class A-4 Notes and the Class B Notes to the extent set forth in the Indenture and the Sale and Servicing Agreement. The Class D Notes are subordinated to the Class C Notes to the extent set forth in the Indenture and the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

As described above, the entire unpaid principal amount of this Class C Note shall be due and payable on the earlier of the Class C Final Distribution Date and the Redemption Date, if any, pursuant to Section 10.1 of the Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire unpaid principal amount of the Notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon through the date of acceleration, shall be due and payable on the date on which an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing if the Indenture Trustee or the Holders of Notes evidencing not less than 51% of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class have declared the Notes to be immediately due and payable in the manner provided in Section 5.2 of the Indenture. All principal payments on the Class C Notes shall be made pro rata to the Holders entitled thereto if the Notes have been declared immediately due and payable.

Payments of interest on this Class C Note due and payable on any Distribution Date, together with the installment of principal, if any, due and payable on such Distribution Date, to the extent not in full payment of this Class C Note, shall be made by check mailed to the Person whose name appears as the Holder of this Class C Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) on the Note Register as of the close of business on the Record Date preceding such Distribution Date or by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account designated in writing to the Indenture Trustee by such Person at least five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date, except that with respect to Class C Notes registered on the Record Date in the name of the nominee of the Clearing Agency (initially, such nominee to be Cede & Co.), payments will be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account designated by such nominee. Such checks shall be mailed to the Person entitled thereto at the address of such Person as it appears on the Note Register as of such Record Date without requiring that this Class C Note be submitted for notation of payment. Any reduction in the principal amount of this Class C Note (or any one or more Predecessor Notes) effected by any payments made on any Distribution Date shall be binding upon all future Holders of this Class C Note and of any Class C 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 then remaining unpaid principal amount of this Class C Note on a

 

Ex. C-6


Distribution Date, then the Indenture Trustee, in the name of and on behalf of the Issuer, shall notify the Person who was the Holder hereof as of the Record Date preceding such Distribution Date by notice mailed or transmitted by facsimile prior to such Distribution Date, and the amount then due and payable shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of this Class C Note at the Indenture Trustee’s Corporate Trust Office or at the office of the Indenture Trustee’s agent appointed for such purposes located in St. Paul, Minnesota.

No service charge will be charged for any registration of transfer or exchange of this Class C Note, but the transferor may be required to pay a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any such registration of transfer or exchange.

Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by its acceptance of a Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note, covenants and agrees that no recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee on the Notes or under the Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered in connection therewith against (i) the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee, each in its individual capacity, (ii) any holder of a beneficial interest in the Issuer or (iii) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer, director or employee of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee, each in its individual capacity, or any holder of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee or any successor or assign of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee, each in its individual capacity, except as any such Person may have expressly agreed and except that any such partner, owner or beneficiary shall be fully liable, to the extent provided by applicable law, for any unpaid consideration for stock, unpaid capital contribution for stock, unpaid capital contribution or failure to pay any installment or call owing to such entity.

Ex. C-7


Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by its acceptance of this Note other than a Retained Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in this Note, represents and warrants that either (a) it is not acquiring such Note (or an interest therein) with the assets of any (i) “employee benefit plan” (as defined in Section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”)) subject to the fiduciary requirements of ERISA, (ii) “plan” described in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), including individual retirement accounts and Keogh plans, that is subject to the provisions of Section 4975 of the Code, (iii) entity whose underlying assets include “plan assets” within the meaning of the United States Department of Labor Regulation 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101, as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA, by reason of an employee benefit plan’s or plan’s investment in such entity or (iv) employee benefit plan or arrangement not subject to Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code; or (b) (i) the acquisition and holding of such Note will not constitute or result in a non-exempt “prohibited transaction” under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or a violation of any substantially similar applicable law and (ii) certain other requirements are satisfied, if applicable, as set forth in Section 2.5(k) of the Indenture.

Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by its acceptance of this Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in this Note, agrees to provide to the Indenture Trustee, any Paying Agent or the Issuer, upon its request, the Noteholder Tax Identification Information and, to the extent FATCA Withholding Tax is applicable, the Noteholder FATCA Information. In addition, each Noteholder or Note Owner, by its acceptance of this Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in this Note, agrees that the Indenture Trustee has the right to withhold any amounts of interest (properly withholdable under law and without any corresponding gross-up) payable to a Noteholder or holder of an interest in a Note that fails to comply with the requirements of the preceding sentence.

The Issuer has entered into the Indenture and this Class C Note is issued with the intention that, for federal, State and local income, and franchise tax purposes, the Notes (other than any Retained Notes) will qualify as indebtedness of the Issuer secured by the Trust Estate. Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by its acceptance of a Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note, agrees to treat the Notes (other than any Retained Notes) for federal, State and local income, single business and franchise tax purposes as indebtedness of the Issuer.

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

The Indenture permits the Owner Trustee, on behalf of the Issuer, and the Indenture Trustee, with certain exceptions therein provided, to amend or waive from time to time certain terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture without the consent of the Holders of the Notes. The Indenture also permits the Owner Trustee, on behalf of the Issuer, and the Indenture Trustee, with certain exceptions as therein provided, to amend or waive from time to time certain terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture with the consent of the Holders of Notes evidencing not

The Notes are subject to all terms of the Indenture.

The Class D Notes are and shall be equally and ratably secured by the collateral pledged as security therefor as provided in the Indenture. The Class D Notes are subordinated to 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 to the extent set forth in the Indenture and the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

As described above, the entire unpaid principal amount of this Class D Note shall be due and payable on the earlier of the Class D Final Distribution Date and the Redemption Date, if any, pursuant to Section 10.1 of the Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire unpaid principal amount of the Notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon through the date of acceleration, shall be due and payable on the date on which an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing if the Indenture Trustee or the Holders of Notes evidencing not less than 51% of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class have declared the Notes to be immediately due and payable in the manner provided in Section 5.2 of the Indenture. All principal payments on the Class D Notes shall be made pro rata to the Holders entitled thereto if the Notes have been declared immediately due and payable.

Payments of interest on this Class D Note due and payable on any Distribution Date, together with the installment of principal, if any, due and payable on such Distribution Date, to the extent not in full payment of this Class D Note, shall be made by check mailed to the Person whose name appears as the Holder of this Class D Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) on the Note Register as of the close of business on the Record Date preceding such Distribution Date or by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account designated in writing to the Indenture Trustee by such Person at least five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date, except that with respect to Class D Notes registered on the Record Date in the name of the nominee of the Clearing Agency (initially, such nominee to be Cede & Co.), payments will be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account designated by such nominee. Such checks shall be mailed to the Person entitled thereto at the address of such Person as it appears on the Note Register as of such Record Date without requiring that this Class D Note be submitted for notation of payment. Any reduction in the principal amount of this Class D Note (or any one or more Predecessor Notes) effected by any payments made on any Distribution Date shall be binding upon all future Holders of this Class D Note and of any Class D 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 then remaining unpaid principal amount of this Class D Note on a Distribution Date, then the Indenture Trustee, in the name of and on behalf of the

 

Ex. D-6


Issuer, shall notify the Person who was the Holder hereof as of the Record Date preceding such Distribution Date by notice mailed or transmitted by facsimile prior to such Distribution Date, and the amount then due and payable shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of this Class D Note at the Indenture Trustee’s Corporate Trust Office or at the office of the Indenture Trustee’s agent appointed for such purposes located in St. Paul, Minnesota.

The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the Class D Rate to the extent lawful.

As provided in the Indenture, the Notes may be redeemed, in whole but not in part, in the manner and to the extent described in the Indenture and the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

As provided in the Indenture, and subject to certain limitations set forth therein, the transfer of this Class D Note may be registered on the Note Register upon surrender of this Class D Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency designated by the Issuer pursuant to the Indenture, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee duly executed by, the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, with such signature guaranteed by an “eligible guarantor institution” meeting the requirements of the Note Registrar, and thereupon one or more new Class D Notes in any authorized denomination and in the same aggregate principal amount will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. No service charge will be charged for any registration of transfer or exchange of this Class D Note, but the transferor may be required to pay a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any such registration of transfer or exchange.

Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by its acceptance of a Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note, covenants and agrees that no recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee on the Notes or under the Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered in connection therewith against (i) the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee, each in its individual capacity, (ii) any holder of a beneficial interest in the Issuer or (iii) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer, director or employee of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee, each in its individual capacity, or any holder of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee or any successor or assign of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee, each in its individual capacity, except as any such Person may have expressly agreed and except that any such partner, owner or beneficiary shall be fully liable, to the extent provided by applicable law, for any unpaid consideration for stock, unpaid capital contribution for stock, unpaid capital contribution or failure to pay any installment or call owing to such entity.

Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by its acceptance of a Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note, covenants and agrees that such Noteholder or Note Owner shall not at any time institute against the Depositor or the Issuer, or join in any institution against the Depositor or the Issuer of, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under any United States federal or State bankruptcy or similar law in connection with any obligations relating to the Notes, the Certificates, the Indenture or any of the other Transaction Documents.

 

Ex. D-7


Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by its acceptance of this Note other than a Retained Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in this Note, represents and warrants that either (a) it is not acquiring such Note (or an interest therein) with the assets of any (i) “employee benefit plan” (as defined in Section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”)) subject to the fiduciary requirements of ERISA, (ii) “plan” described in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), including individual retirement accounts and Keogh plans, that is subject to the provisions of Section 4975 of the Code, (iii) entity whose underlying assets include “plan assets” within the meaning of the United States Department of Labor Regulation 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101, as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA, by reason of an employee benefit plan’s or plan’s investment in such entity or (iv) employee benefit plan or arrangement not subject to Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code; or (b) (i) the acquisition and holding of such Note will not constitute or result in a non-exempt “prohibited transaction” under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or a violation of any substantially similar applicable law and (ii) certain other requirements are satisfied, if applicable, as set forth in Section 2.5(k) of the Indenture.

Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by its acceptance of this Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in this Note, agrees to provide to the Indenture Trustee, any Paying Agent or the Issuer, upon its request, the Noteholder Tax Identification Information and, to the extent FATCA Withholding Tax is applicable, the Noteholder FATCA Information. In addition, each Noteholder or Note Owner, by its acceptance of this Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in this Note, agrees that the Indenture Trustee has the right to withhold any amounts of interest (properly withholdable under law and without any corresponding gross-up) payable to a Noteholder or holder of an interest in a Note that fails to comply with the requirements of the preceding sentence.

The Issuer has entered into the Indenture and this Class D Note is issued with the intention that, for federal, State and local income, and franchise tax purposes, the Notes (other than any Retained Notes) will qualify as indebtedness of the Issuer secured by the Trust Estate. Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by its acceptance of a Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note, agrees to treat the Notes (other than any Retained Notes) for federal, State and local income, single business and franchise tax purposes as indebtedness of the Issuer.

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

The Indenture permits the Owner Trustee, on behalf of the Issuer, and the Indenture Trustee, with certain exceptions therein provided, to amend or waive from time to time certain terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture without the consent of the Holders of the Notes. The Indenture also permits the Owner Trustee, on behalf of the Issuer, and the Indenture Trustee, with certain exceptions as therein provided, to amend or waive from time to time certain terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture with the consent of the Holders of Notes evidencing not

 

Ex. D-8


less than 51% of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class. The Indenture also permits the Holders of Notes evidencing not less than 51% of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class, on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes, to waive compliance by the Issuer with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holders of not less than 51% of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class or the Holder of this Class D Note (or any one or more Predecessor Notes) shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and on all future Holders of this Class D Note and of any Class D Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Class D Note.

The term “Issuer”, as used in this Note, includes any successor to the Issuer under the Indenture.

The Indenture permits the Issuer, under certain circumstances, to consolidate or merge with or into another Person, subject to the rights of the Indenture Trustee and the Holders of Notes under the Indenture.

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

THIS CLASS D NOTE AND THE INDENTURE SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER AND THEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE CONFLICTS OF LAWS PROVISIONS THEREOF WHICH MAY REQUIRE THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION (OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW).

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

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, except as expressly provided in the Transaction Documents, none of Wilmington Trust, National Association, in its individual capacity, U.S. Bank Trust National Association, in its individual capacity, any holder of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, or any of their respective owners, beneficiaries, agents, officers, directors, employees or successors or assigns shall be personally liable for, nor shall recourse be had to any of them for, the payment of principal of or interest on this Class D Note or the performance of, or omission to perform, any of the covenants, obligations or indemnifications contained in the Indenture. The Holder of this Note, by its acceptance hereof, agrees that, except as expressly provided in the Transaction Documents, in the case of an Event of Default under the Indenture, the Holder shall have no claim against any of the foregoing for any deficiency, loss or claim resulting therefrom; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be taken to prevent recourse to, or enforcement against, the assets of the Issuer for any and all liabilities, obligations and undertakings contained in the Indenture or in this Class D Note.

Exhibit E

Form of Opinion of Counsel

 

A. The provisions of the Purchase Agreement are effective under the New York UCC to create in favor of the Depositor a security interest in CarMax’s rights in the Receivables and in any identifiable proceeds thereof. (We note that a “security interest” as defined in Section 1-201(b)(35) of the New York UCC includes the interests of a buyer of accounts, chattel paper, payment intangibles and promissory notes and we refer you to our other opinion of even date herewith with respect to whether the security interest of the Depositor should be characterized as an ownership interest or solely as a collateral interest held to secure a loan made to CarMax).

 

B. The provisions of the Sale and Servicing Agreement are effective under the New York UCC to create in favor of the Issuer a security interest in the Depositor’s rights in the Receivables and in any identifiable proceeds thereof. We express no opinion as to whether the security interest of the Issuer would be characterized as an ownership interest or solely as a collateral interest held to secure a loan made to the Depositor.

 

C. The provisions of the Indenture are effective under the New York UCC to create in favor of the Indenture Trustee a security interest in the Issuer’s rights in the Receivables and any identifiable proceeds thereof.

 

D. Under the New York UCC (including the choice of laws provisions thereof), while a debtor is “located” in a jurisdiction, the local law of that jurisdiction governs the perfection by the filing of a financing statement of a security interest in personal property that is accounts, chattel paper, payment intangibles or instruments. Under the New York UCC (including the choice of laws provisions thereof):

 

  1. CarMax is “located” in Delaware and the local law of that state governs perfection of a nonpossessory security interest in CarMax’s rights in the Receivables by the filing of a financing statement.

 

  2. The Depositor is “located” in Delaware and the local law of that state governs perfection of a nonpossessory security interest in the Depositor’s rights in the Receivables by the filing of a financing statement.

 

  3. The Issuer is “located” in Delaware and the local law of that state governs perfection of a nonpossessory security interest in the Issuer’s rights in the Receivables by the filing of a financing statement.

 

E. When the CarMax Financing Statement is filed (within the meaning of Section 9-516 of the Delaware UCC) in the Delaware Filing Office, under the provisions of the Delaware UCC, the Depositor’s security interest in CarMax’s rights in the Receivables and in identifiable cash proceeds thereof will be perfected.

 

Ex. E-1


F. When the Depositor Financing Statement is filed (within the meaning of Section 9-516 of the Delaware UCC) in the Delaware Filing Office, under the provisions of the Delaware UCC, the Issuer’s security interest in the Depositor’s rights in the Receivables and in identifiable cash proceeds thereof will be perfected.

 

G. When the Issuer Financing Statement is filed (within the meaning of Section 9-516 of the Delaware UCC) in the Delaware Filing Office, under the provisions of the Delaware UCC, the Indenture Trustee’s security interest in the Issuer’s rights in the Receivables and in identifiable cash proceeds thereof will be perfected.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

In connection with our proposed purchase of Class ___ Notes (the “Class ___ Notes”) of CarMax Auto Owner Trust 2018-2 (the “Issuing Entity”), we confirm that:

1. We understand that the Class ___ Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), and may not be sold except as permitted in the following sentence. We understand and agree, on our own behalf and on behalf of any accounts for which we are acting as hereinafter stated, (x) that such Class ___ Notes are being offered only in a transaction not involving any public offering within the meaning of the 1933 Act and (y) that such Class ___ Notes may be resold, pledged or transferred only (i) to CarMax Auto Funding LLC (the “Depositor”), (ii) to an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a)(1),(2),(3) or (7) of Regulation D under the 1933 Act (an “Accredited Investor”) acting for its own account (and not for the account of others) or as a fiduciary or agent for others (which others also are Accredited Investors unless the holder is a bank acting in its fiduciary capacity) that executes a certificate substantially in the form hereof, (iii) so long as such Class ___ Note is eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A under the 1933 Act (“Rule 144A”), to a person whom we reasonably believe after due inquiry is a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A, acting for its own account (and not for the account of others) or as a fiduciary or agent for others (which others also are “qualified institutional buyers”) to whom notice is given that the resale, pledge or transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A or (iv) in a sale, pledge or other transfer made in a transaction otherwise exempt from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act, in which case the Indenture Trustee shall require that both the prospective transferor and the prospective transferee certify to the Indenture Trustee and the Depositor in writing the facts surrounding such transfer, which certification shall be in form and substance satisfactory to the

 

Ex. G-1


Indenture Trustee and the Depositor. Except in the case of a transfer described in clauses (i) or (iii) above, the Indenture Trustee shall require that a written opinion of counsel (which will not be at the expense of the Depositor, any Affiliate of the Depositor or the Indenture Trustee), satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee and the Depositor, be delivered to the Indenture Trustee and the Depositor to the effect that such transfer will not violate the 1933 Act, and will be effected in accordance with any applicable securities laws of each state of the United States. We will notify any purchaser of the Class ___ Notes from us of the above resale restrictions, if then applicable. We further understand that in connection with any transfer of the Class ___ Notes by us that the Indenture Trustee and the Depositor may request, and if so requested we will furnish, such certificates and other information as they may reasonably require to confirm that any such transfer complies with the foregoing restrictions.

2. [CHECK ONE]

☐ (a) We are an Accredited Investor acting for our own account (and not for the account of others) or as a fiduciary or agent for others (which others also are Accredited Investors unless we are a bank acting in its fiduciary capacity). We have such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of our investment in the Class ___ Notes, and we and any accounts for which we are acting are each able to bear the economic risk of our or their investment for an indefinite period of time. We are acquiring the Class ___ Notes or investment and not with a view to, or for offer and sale in connection with, a public distribution.

☐ (b) We are a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined under Rule 144A under the 1933 Act and are acquiring the Class ___ Notes for our own account (and not for the account of others) or as a fiduciary or agent for others (which others also are “qualified institutional buyers”). We are familiar with Rule 144A under the 1933 Act and are aware that the seller of the Class ___ Notes and other parties intend to rely on the statements made herein and the exemption from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act provided by Rule 144A.

3. If counsel satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee has rendered an opinion to the effect that the Class __ Notes to be transferred will be characterized as indebtedness for United States federal income tax purposes, either (i) we are not acquiring the Class ___ Notes with the assets of any (A) “employee benefit plan” as defined in Section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”) that is subject to Title I of ERISA, (B) “plan” described in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) that is subject to Section 4975 of the Code, (C) entity whose underlying assets include plan assets by reason of a plan’s investment in the entity or (D) plan that is subject to any federal, state, local or non-U.S. law that is substantially similar to the prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (“Similar Law”) (each, a “Plan”) or (ii) our acquisition and holding of the Class ___ Notes will not give rise to a nonexempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or Similar Law. We hereby acknowledge that no transfer of any Class ___ Note shall be permitted to be made to any transferee unless either (i) such transferee is not acquiring the Class ___ Note with the assets of any Plan or (ii) the acquisition and holding of such Class ___ Note will not constitute or result in a nonexempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or Similar Law.

 

Ex. G-2


4. Unless counsel satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee shall have rendered an opinion to the effect that the Class ___ Notes to be transferred will be characterized as indebtedness for United States federal income tax purposes, we represent (i) that we are a United States Person (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) and (ii) that we are not acquiring the Class ___ Notes with the assets of any Plan; and we acknowledge that unless the Indenture Trustee shall have received such an opinion, no transfer of any Class ___ Note shall be permitted to be made to any person who is not a United States Person or who acquires such Class ____ Notes with assets of a Plan and any such purported transfer in violation of these restrictions shall be null and void.

5. If we are acquiring the Class __ Notes with the assets of a Plan subject to Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, we represent that (i) our decision to acquire the Class __ Notes has been made on an arms’ length basis by a fiduciary of the Plan (the “Plan Fiduciary”); (b) the Seller, the Depositor, the Administrator, the Servicer, the Trust, the sponsor, the Owner Trustee, the initial purchasers, any of their respective affiliates, or the Indenture Trustee (collectively, the “Transaction Parties”) have not provided nor will provide advice with respect to the acquisition of the notes by the Plan, other than to the Plan Fiduciary which is independent of the Transaction Parties, and the Plan Fiduciary either: (a) is a bank as defined in Section 202 of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “Advisers Act”), or similar institution that is regulated and supervised and subject to periodic examination by a U.S. state or U.S. federal agency, (b) is an insurance carrier which is qualified under the laws of more than one U.S. state to perform the services of managing, acquiring or disposing of assets of an “employee benefit plan” described in Section 3(3) of ERISA or “plan” described in Section 4975(e)(1)(A) of the Code, (c) is an investment adviser registered under the Advisers Act, or, if not registered as an investment adviser under the Advisers Act by reason of paragraph (1) of Section 203A of the Advisers Act, is registered as an investment adviser under the laws of the U.S. state in which it maintains its principal office and place of business, (d) is a broker-dealer registered under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended or (e) holds, or has under its management or control, total assets of at least U.S. $50 million (provided that this clause (e) shall not be satisfied if the Plan Fiduciary is either (1) an individual directing his or her own individual retirement account or plan account or relative of such individual or (2) a participant or beneficiary of such Plan acquiring the Class __ Note or a relative of such participant or beneficiary); (iii) the Plan Fiduciary is capable of evaluating investment risks independently, both in general and with respect to particular transactions and investment strategies, including the acquisition by the Plan of the Class __ Notes; (iv) the Plan Fiduciary is a “fiduciary” with respect to the Plan within the meaning of Section 3(21) of ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code, or both, and is responsible for exercising independent judgment in evaluating the Plan’s acquisition of the Class __ Notes; (v) none of the Transaction Parties has exercised any authority to cause the Plan to invest in the Class __ Notes or to negotiate the terms of the Plan’s investment in the Class __ Notes; and (vi) the Plan Fiduciary has been informed by the Transaction Parties: (x) that none of the Transaction Parties are undertaking to provide impartial investment advice or to give advice in a fiduciary capacity in connection with the Plan’s acquisition of the Class __ Notes and (y) of the existence and nature of the Transaction Parties’ financial interests in the Plan’s acquisition of the Class __ Notes as disclosed in the prospectus for the Class __ Notes. We hereby acknowledge that no transfer of any Class ___ Note shall be permitted to be made to any transferee that is a Plan subject to Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code unless such transferee satisfies the foregoing requirements.

6. We understand that the Issuing Entity, the Indenture Trustee, the Depositor and others will rely upon the truth and accuracy of the foregoing acknowledgments, representations and agreements, and we agree that if any of the acknowledgments, representations and warranties deemed to have been made by us by our purchase of the Class ___ Notes, for our own account or for one or more accounts as to each of which we exercise sole investment discretion, are no longer accurate, we shall promptly notify the Depositor.

7. You are entitled to rely upon this letter and you are irrevocably authorized to produce this letter or a copy hereof to any interested party in any administrative or legal proceeding or official inquiry with respect to the matters covered hereby.
