This FIFTH SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE is dated as of May 21, 2013, among DT ACCEPTANCE CORPORATION, an Arizona corporation (“DTAC”), and DRIVETIME AUTOMOTIVE GROUP, INC., a Delaware corporation (“DTAG”, and together with DTAC, the “Issuers” and each an “Issuer”), the Guarantors party hereto (the “Guarantors”) and WELLS FARGO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking association, as trustee (the “Trustee”).
RECITALS
WHEREAS, the Issuers, the Guarantors and the Trustee entered into an Indenture, dated as of June 4, 2010 (the “Indenture”), pursuant to which the Issuers issued $250,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of the 12.625% Senior Secured Notes Due 2017 (the “Notes”) (capitalized terms used herein without definition have the respective meanings given to them in the Indenture).
WHEREAS, Section 9.01(a) of the Indenture provides that the Issuers and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture or the Notes without notice to or the consent of any Noteholder to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency or to make a modification of a formal, minor or technical nature or to correct a manifest error.
WHEREAS, Section 4.10 of the Indenture requires that if any Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries acquires or creates another Subsidiary after the Issue Date (other than a Foreign Subsidiary, Insurance Subsidiary or Special Purpose Subsidiary) then, among other requirements, such Issuer or Restricted Subsidiary shall cause such Subsidiary to become a Guarantor of the Notes.
WHEREAS, Section 11.09 of the Indenture provides that the “Note Guarantee of a Guarantor will terminate upon … the designation in accordance with [the] Indenture of the Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary”.
WHEREAS, the inconsistency between Section 4.10 and Section 11.09 of the Indenture is a defect because any Issuer or Restricted Subsidiary that designates an acquired or created Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary upon or prior to acquisition or creation of such Subsidiary would be required under Section 4.10 of the Indenture to cause such Unrestricted Subsidiary to sign a Note Guarantee which would be immediately and automatically terminated by operation of Section 11.09 of the Indenture.
WHEREAS, the second recital in the form of Supplemental Indenture referenced in Section 4.10(a) of the Indenture, supports this result, stating “as a condition to the Trustee entering into the Indenture and the purchase of the Notes by the Holders, the Issuers agreed pursuant to the Indenture to cause any newly acquired or created Restricted Subsidiaries to provide Guarantees in certain circumstances” (emphasis added).
WHEREAS, to correct this defect, the Issuers, the Guarantors and the Trustee desire to amend the Indenture pursuant to Section 9.01(a) to exclude Unrestricted Subsidiaries from the application of Section 4.10.





WHEREAS, all things necessary to make this Fifth Supplemental Indenture when executed by the parties hereto a valid and binding agreement of and supplement to the Indenture have been done and performed.
NOW, THEREFORE, to comply with the provisions of the Indenture and in consideration of the above premises, the Issuers, the Guarantors and the Trustee covenant and agree for the benefit of each other and for the equal and proportionate benefit of the respective Holders of the Notes as follows:
1.1    This Fifth Supplemental Indenture is supplemental to the Indenture and does and shall be deemed to form a part of, and shall be construed in connection with and as part of the Indenture for any and all purposes. Every Holder of Notes heretofore or hereafter authenticated and delivered shall be bound hereby.
1.2    Sections 4.10 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
SECTION 4.10. Additional Subsidiary Guarantees. If an Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries shall acquire or create another Subsidiary after the Issue Date (other than an Unrestricted Subsidiary, Foreign Subsidiary, Insurance Subsidiary or Special Purpose Subsidiary), then such Issuer shall cause such Subsidiary to become a Guarantor hereunder and, within 45 days after the date it was acquired or created:
(a)    execute a supplemental indenture substantially in the form of Exhibit B, pursuant to which such Subsidiary shall unconditionally guarantee, on a senior unsecured basis or, if such Subsidiary is expected to Incur Indebtedness under a Permitted Inventory Facility, senior second-priority secured basis, all of the Indenture Obligations;
(b)    with respect to a Subsidiary that is expected to Incur Indebtedness under a Permitted Inventory Facility, execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent such amendments or supplements to the Collateral Documents and take such other actions as are necessary in order to grant to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Holders, a perfected second-priority security interest in the Second-Lien Collateral of such Subsidiary, subject to Permitted Liens, which are owned by the Issuers or a Guarantor and are required to be pledged pursuant to the Collateral Documents, including the filing of UCC financing statements in such jurisdictions as may be required by the Collateral Documents or by law or as may reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent;
(c)    take such further action and execute and deliver such other documents specified in the Indenture Documents or otherwise reasonably requested by the Trustee or the Collateral Agent to give effect to the foregoing; and
(d)    deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel that such supplemental indenture and any other documents required to be delivered have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by such Subsidiary and constitutes a legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligation of such Subsidiary and the Collateral Documents to which such Restricted Subsidiary is a party create a valid perfected Lien on the Collateral covered thereby.

2.7    This Fifth Supplemental Indenture is an amendment supplemental to the Indenture and the Indenture and this Fifth Supplemental Indenture will henceforth be read together.
