All Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes shall be the valid obligations of the Issuer, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.
Every Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be (i) duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in the forms attached to Exhibits A-1, A-2, A-3, B, C, D, E-1, E-2 and E-3 duly executed by, the Holder thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, with (if required by the Note Registrar) such signature guaranteed by an “eligible guarantor institution” meeting the requirements of the Note Registrar which requirements include membership or participation in Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program (“STAMP”) or such other “signature guarantee program” as may be determined by the Note Registrar in addition to, or in substitution for, STAMP, all in accordance with the Exchange Act, and (ii) accompanied by such other documents as the Indenture Trustee may require.

15

of the Code, (c) an entity whose underlying assets are deemed to include assets of an employee benefit plan or a plan described in (a) or (b) above by reason of such employee benefit plan’s or plan’s investment in the entity (collectively, a “Plan”) or (d) an employee benefit plan, a plan or similar arrangement that is not a Plan but is subject to federal, state, local or non-U.S. laws or regulations substantially similar to Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (collectively, “Similar Law” and a “Similar Law Plan”) unless such purchaser’s or transferee’s acquisition, holding and disposition of a Class A Note, Class B Note, Class C Note or Class D Note (or a beneficial interest therein) will not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, or a non-exempt violation of any provision of any Similar Law.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of any sale or other transfer of a Class E Note (or a beneficial interest in any such Note), the transferee of such Note shall be required or deemed to represent and warrant to the Note Registrar that it is not and will not be, and is not acting on behalf of or investing the assets of, an entity that is or will be a Plan or a Similar Law Plan.

The Issuer represents, warrants and covenants to the Indenture Trustee that the Issuer will provide or will cause to be provided, upon request, (i) information to the extent necessary or required for the Indenture Trustee to determine whether payments made or to be made by the Issuer with respect to the Notes are payments of U.S. source income subject to U.S. federal withholding tax or (ii) such additional information to the extent necessary or required that it may have to assist the Indenture Trustee or the Note Paying Agent in making informational reports.  The Indenture Trustee shall withhold from any payments with respect to the Notes as required by applicable law.
The transferee of any Class E Notes acknowledges that it is deemed to represent that, as a result of its own activities separate from those of the Issuer, it would not be required to treat income from the Class E Notes as effectively connected to a United States trade or business of a person that is not a U.S. person (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30)), and it further acknowledges that the Indenture provides that no holder of a Class E Note shall provide the Issuer with either an IRS Form W-8ECI (or successor form) or an IRS Form W-8IMY (or successor form) to which an IRS Form W-8ECI (or successor form) is attached (either directly or as part of another form attached to such IRS Form W-8IMY).
No portion of the Class E Notes or any interest therein may be transferred, directly or indirectly, to any Person which would provide an IRS Form W‑8ECI or IRS Form W‑8IMY with an attached IRS Form W‑8ECI in response to the withholding requirements of the Code.
16

Each holder of a Class E Note (or a beneficial interest in any such Note), by acceptance of such Note or such interest in such Note, acknowledges that it is deemed to represent (A) either (I) is not and will not become for U.S. federal income tax purposes a Flow-Through Entity or (II) if it is or becomes a Flow-Through Entity, then (x) none of the direct or indirect beneficial owners of any of the interests in such Flow-Through Entity has or ever will have more than 50% of the value of its interest in such Flow-Through Entity attributable to the interest of such Flow-Through Entity in the Class E Notes and any equity interests in the Issuer, and (y) it is not and will not be a principal purpose of the arrangement involving the investment of such Flow-Through Entity in any Class E Note to permit any partnership to satisfy the 100 partner limitation of section 1.7704-1(h)(1)(ii) of the Treasury Regulations necessary for such partnership not to be classified as a publicly traded partnership under the Code, (B) it will not sell, assign, transfer, pledge or otherwise convey any participating interest in any Note or any financial instrument or contract the value of which is determined by reference in whole or in part to any Note, (C) it is not acquiring and will not sell, transfer, assign, participate, pledge or otherwise dispose of any Class E Note (or interest therein) if such acquisition, sale, transfer, assignment, participation, pledge or disposition is through, or would cause any Class E Note (or interest therein) to be marketed on or through an “established securities market” within the meaning of Section 7704(b) of the Code, including, without limitation, an interdealer quotation system that regularly disseminates firm buy or sell quotations and (D) it does not and will not beneficially own any Class E Note (or any beneficial interest therein) in an amount that is less than the minimum denomination for such Class E Note.  To the extent a holder of a Class E Note (or a beneficial interest therein) is unable to make each of the representations contained in the foregoing clauses (A), (B), (C) and (D), such holder acknowledges that it is deemed to agree to provide an opinion of nationally recognized U.S. tax counsel reasonably acceptable to the Issuer that its acquisition of a Class E Note (or any beneficial interest therein) will not cause the Issuer to be treated as a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation.  Any transfer of a Class E Note (or any beneficial interest therein) that does not comply with the foregoing requirements will be deemed null and void ab initio.
No holder of a Class E Note shall acquire, sell, transfer, assign, participate, pledge, or dispose of any Class E Note or interest therein, if such acquisition, sale, transfer, assignment, participation, pledge or disposition is through, or would cause any Class E Note or interest therein, to be marketed on or through, an “established securities market” within the meaning of Section 7704(b)(1) of the Code, including, without limitation, an over-the-counter market or an interdealer quotation system that regularly disseminates firm buy or sell quotations.

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

(c)            If the Issuer defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, and such default is waived by the Controlling Party, acting at the direction of the Majority Noteholders, the Issuer shall pay defaulted interest (plus interest on such defaulted interest to the extent lawful) at the applicable Interest Rate in any lawful manner.  The Issuer may pay such defaulted interest to the Persons who are Noteholders on the immediately following Distribution Date, and, if such amount is not paid on such following Distribution Date, then on a subsequent special record date, which date shall be at least five Business Days prior to the payment date.  The Issuer shall fix or cause to be fixed any such special record date and payment date, and, at least 15 days before any such special record date, the Issuer shall mail to each Noteholder and the Indenture Trustee a notice that states the special record date, the payment date and the amount of defaulted interest to be paid.
Section 2.8      Cancellation.  All Notes surrendered for payment, registration of transfer, exchange or redemption shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Indenture Trustee, be delivered to the Indenture Trustee and shall be promptly canceled by the Indenture Trustee.  The Issuer may at any time deliver to the Indenture Trustee for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Issuer may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Notes so delivered shall be promptly canceled by the Indenture Trustee.  No Notes shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Notes canceled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture.  All canceled Notes may be held or disposed of by the Indenture Trustee in accordance with its standard retention or disposal policy as in effect at the time unless the Issuer shall timely direct by an Issuer Order that they be destroyed or returned to it; provided that such Issuer Order is timely and the Notes have not been previously disposed of by the Indenture Trustee.
Section 2.9      Release of Collateral.  The Indenture Trustee shall, on the earlier of (i) the Termination Date or (ii) the Redemption Date (if the Notes are redeemed in full on such date), release any remaining portion of the Trust Estate from the lien created by this Indenture and deposit in the Collection Account any funds then on deposit in any other Trust Account.
Section 2.10      Book-Entry Notes.  The Class A Notes, Class B Notes, Class C Notes, Class D Notes and Class E Notes, upon original issuance, will be issued in the form of typewritten Notes representing the Book-Entry Notes, to be delivered to The Depository Trust Company, the initial Clearing Agency, by, or on behalf of, the Issuer.  The Rule 144A Notes sold to Persons who are Qualified Institutional Buyers or Institutional Accredited Investors will be issued in the form of restricted global notes (each, a “Global Note”).  The Class E Notes sold to Persons who are not U.S. Persons in offshore transactions in reliance on Regulation S of the Securities Act will each be issued initially in the form of a Temporary Regulation S Global Note (the “Temporary Regulation S Global Note”) and a Permanent Regulation S Global Note (the “Permanent Regulation S Global Note” and, collectively, with the Temporary Regulation S Global Note, the “Regulation S Global Notes”) for each class of Notes.  Before the last day of the Distribution Compliance Period, beneficial interests in the Regulation S Global Notes will be represented by a Temporary Regulation S Global Note, and on and after the Distribution Compliance Period, beneficial interests in the Regulation S Global Notes will be represented by a 
20

Permanent Regulation S Global Note.  Such Notes shall initially be registered on the Note Register in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee of the initial Clearing Agency, and no such Note Owner will receive a Definitive Note representing such Note Owner’s interest in such Note, except as provided in Section 2.12.  Unless and until definitive, fully registered Notes ( “Definitive Notes”) have been issued to all Note Owners pursuant to Section 2.12(a), the provisions of this Section shall be in full force and effect and, with respect to any Book-Entry Notes:
(i)            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 such Notes and the giving of instructions or directions hereunder) as the sole Holder of such Notes, and shall have no obligation to the related Note Owners;
(ii)            to the extent that the provisions of this Section conflict with any other provisions of this Indenture with respect to any Book-Entry Notes, the provisions of this Section shall control;
(iii)            the rights of Note Owners of any Book-Entry Notes 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.  Unless and until Definitive Notes are issued pursuant to Section 2.12(a), the Clearing Agency will make book-entry transfers among the Clearing Agency Participants and receive and transmit payments of principal of and interest on any Book-Entry Notes to such Clearing Agency Participants;
(iv)            whenever this Indenture requires or permits actions to be taken based upon instructions or directions of Noteholders evidencing a specified percentage of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, the Clearing Agency shall be deemed to represent such percentage in respect of which it has received instructions to such effect from Note Owners and/or Clearing Agency Participants owning or representing, respectively, Book-Entry Notes and has delivered such instructions to the Indenture Trustee;
(v)            Note Owners of any Book-Entry Notes may receive copies of any reports sent to Noteholders pursuant to this Indenture, upon written request, together with a certification that they are Note Owners and payment of reproduction and postage expenses associated with the distribution of such reports, from the Indenture Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office; and
(vi)            notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, so long as a Book-Entry Note is held by or on behalf of the Clearing Agency, transfers of a Book-Entry Note, in whole or in part, shall only be made in accordance with this Section 2.10.
(A)            subject to clauses (B) through (C) of this Section 2.10(vi) and Section 2.12, transfers of a Book-Entry Note shall be limited to transfers of such Book-Entry Note in whole, but not in part, to a nominee of the Clearing Agency or to a successor of the Clearing Agency or such successor’s nominee.
(B)            Regulation S Global Note to Global Note.  A holder of a beneficial interest in a Temporary Regulation S Global Note may not transfer any of its
21

interest in such Temporary Regulation S Global Note to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of a Global Note until the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period.  After the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period, Regulation S Global Notes will be represented by a Permanent Regulation S Global Note.  If a holder of a beneficial interest in a Permanent Regulation S Global Note wishes to transfer all or a part of its interest in such Permanent Regulation S Global Note to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of a Global Note, such holder may, subject to the terms hereof and the rules and procedures of the Clearing Agency, exchange or cause the exchange of such interest for an equivalent beneficial interest in a Global Note of the same Class.  Upon receipt by the Note Registrar of (A) instructions from the Clearing Agency directing the Note Registrar to cause such Global Note to be increased by an amount equal to such beneficial interest in such Permanent Regulation S Global Note but not less than the minimum denomination applicable to the related Note, (B) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-1 hereto given by the prospective transferee of such beneficial interest and stating, among other things, that such transferee acquiring such beneficial interest in a Global Note is a Qualified Institutional Buyer, is obtaining such beneficial interest in a transaction pursuant to Rule 144A and in accordance with any applicable securities laws of any state of the United States or any other applicable jurisdiction, and (C) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-1 hereto given by the prospective transferor of such beneficial interest, then the Note Registrar will instruct the Clearing Agency to reduce the aggregate principal amount of such Permanent Regulation S Global Note by the aggregate principal amount of the beneficial interest in such Permanent Regulation S Global Note to be transferred, increase the aggregate principal amount of the Global Note specified in such instructions by an aggregate principal amount equal to such reduction in such aggregate principal amount of the Permanent Regulation S Global Note and make the corresponding adjustments to the applicable participants’ accounts.
(C)            Global Note to Regulation S Global Note.  If a holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Note wishes to transfer all or a part of its interest in such Global Note to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of a Regulation S Global Note, such holder may, subject to the terms hereof and the rules and procedures of the Clearing Agency exchange or cause the exchange of such interest for an equivalent beneficial interest in a Regulation S Global Note of the same Class.  Upon receipt by the Note Registrar of (A) instructions from the Clearing Agency directing the Note Registrar to cause the aggregate principal amount of such Regulation S Global Note to be increased by an amount equal to such beneficial interest in such Global Note but not less than the minimum denomination applicable to the Notes to be exchanged, and (B) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-2 hereto given by the prospective transferee of such beneficial interest and stating, among other things, that such transferee acquiring such beneficial interest in a Regulation S Global Note is a Regulation S non-U.S. Person located outside the United States and such transfer is being made pursuant to Regulation S of the Securities Act, then the Note Registrar will instruct the Clearing Agency to reduce the aggregate principal amount of such Global Note by the
22

aggregate principal amount of the interest in such Global Note to be transferred, increase the aggregate principal amount of the Regulation S Global Note specified in such instructions by an aggregate principal amount equal to such reduction in the aggregate principal amount of the Global Note and make the corresponding adjustments to the applicable participants’ accounts.
(D)            Other Exchanges.  In the event that a Global Note or Regulation S Global Note is exchanged for one or more Definitive Notes pursuant to Section 2.12, such Notes may be exchanged for one another only in accordance with such procedures as are substantially consistent with the provisions above and any other applicable terms of this Indenture (including certification requirements intended to ensure that such transfers (i) are to the Seller or an Affiliate of the Seller, (ii) comply with Rule 144A, (iii) are to Regulation S non-U.S. Persons and otherwise comply with Regulation S, or (iv) pursuant to available exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and all other applicable securities laws, as the case may be) and as may be from time to time adopted by the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee.
Section 2.11      Notices to Clearing Agency.  Whenever a notice or other communication to the Noteholders is required under this Indenture, unless and until any Definitive Notes shall have been issued to Note Owners pursuant to Section 2.12(a), the Indenture Trustee shall give all such notices and communications specified herein to be given to the Noteholders to the Clearing Agency, and shall have no obligation to the Note Owners.  If any Definitive Notes shall have been issued to Note Owners pursuant to Section 2.12(b), then the Indenture Trustee shall also give to the related Noteholders any such notices and communications specified herein to be given to Noteholders.
Section 2.12      Definitive Notes.
(a)            If (i) Exeter advises the Indenture Trustee in writing that the Clearing Agency is no longer willing, qualified or able to properly discharge its responsibilities with respect to the Notes, and Exeter is unable to locate a qualified successor or (ii) after the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Majority Noteholders advise the Indenture Trustee through the Clearing Agency in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system through the Clearing Agency is no longer in the best interests of the Note Owners, then the Clearing Agency shall notify all Note Owners and the Indenture Trustee of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of Definitive Notes to Note Owners requesting the same.  Upon surrender to the Indenture Trustee of the typewritten Note or Notes representing the Book-Entry Notes by the Clearing Agency, in accordance with this Section 2.12(a) and accompanied by registration instructions, the Issuer shall execute and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate the Definitive Notes in accordance with the instructions of the Clearing Agency.  Additionally, Exeter may instruct the Indenture Trustee to issue a Definitive Note to the Seller or an Affiliate of the Seller, or to a Person acquiring a Definitive Note from the Seller or an Affiliate of the Seller, in accordance with the applicable terms of this Section 2.12 and Section 2.4 hereof.
(b)            (i)            If Exeter provides notice to the Indenture Trustee in writing that the Seller or an Affiliate of the Seller is acquiring any Book-Entry Notes after the Closing Date and
23

that such Person has elected to exchange, at the time of such acquisition, such Book-Entry Notes for Definitive Notes of the same Class, such notice shall be provided no later than two (2) Business Days prior to such Person’s acquisition of such Notes and shall specify (i) the date of such acquisition and exchange (the “DWAC Decrease Date”), (ii) the initial principal amount of the Book-Entry Notes of such Class of Notes immediately prior to the DWAC Decrease Date (the “Pre-DWAC Initial Principal Amount”), (iii) the amount by which the Pre-DWAC Initial Principal Amount will be decreased in connection with issuance of the corresponding Definitive Notes (the “DWAC Decrease Amount”), (iv) the initial principal amount of the Book-Entry Notes of such Class of Notes, as decreased by the DWAC Decrease Amount (the “Post-DWAC Initial Principal Amount”), and (v) the DTC participant number of the transferor.  On the DWAC Decrease Date, the transferor of the Notes that are the subject of such exchange will initiate, or cause to be initiated, a DWAC with the Clearing Agency in order to decrease the Pre-DWAC Initial Principal Amount of the Book-Entry Notes of such Class of Notes by the DWAC Decrease Amount.  In connection with such DWAC Decrease Amount, the Indenture Trustee shall issue one or more Definitive Notes corresponding with such DWAC Decrease Amount to the Seller or such Affiliate, as applicable, in accordance with the instructions of Exeter and in accordance with Section 2.4 hereof.
(ii)            If Exeter provides notice to the Indenture Trustee in writing that the Seller or an Affiliate of the Seller is transferring any such Definitive Notes issued pursuant to Section 2.12(b) to another Person, the Indenture Trustee shall, in accordance with the instructions of Exeter and in accordance with the terms of Sections 2.4 and 2.10 hereof, as applicable, and together with any information, direction or certification from the related transferor or transferee that the Indenture Trustee reasonably requests in order to effectuate such transfer to a Person who is not the Seller or an Affiliate of the Seller, either (i) issue one or more Definitive Notes in respect of the Definitive Notes to be transferred, or (ii) in the event that the transferee desires that such Definitive Notes be exchanged for one or more Book-Entry Notes that are Global Notes or Regulation S Global Notes of the same Class of Notes, Exeter shall turn in such Definitive Notes to the Indenture Trustee for cancelation, and provide notice to the Indenture Trustee in writing no later than two (2) Business Days prior to the Seller’s or an Affiliate of the Seller’s transfer of such Definitive Notes and shall specify (i) the date of acquisition (the “DWAC Increase Date”), (ii) the related Pre-DWAC Initial Principal Amount, (iii) the amount by which the related Pre-DWAC Initial Principal Amount will be increased in connection with cancelation of such Definitive Notes (the “DWAC Increase Amount”), (iv) the related post-DWAC Initial Principal Amount, and (v) the DTC participant number of the transferee.  On the DWAC Increase Date, the transferee of the Notes that are the subject of such exchange will initiate a DWAC with the Clearing Agency in order to increase the related Pre-DWAC Initial Principal Amount of the Book-Entry Notes of such Class of Notes by the DWAC Increase Amount which shall correspond with the initial principal amount of the Definitive Notes turned into the Indenture Trustee for cancelation.
(c)            If Exeter provides notice to the Indenture Trustee in writing that (x) the Seller or an Affiliate of the Seller has acquired any Book-Entry Notes (other than any Global Notes or Regulation S Global Notes) after the Closing Date and (y) the Seller or such Affiliate of the Seller proposes to transfer such Notes to another Person who is not the Seller or an Affiliate of the Seller, Exeter shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee appropriate documentation, in accordance with the terms of Sections 2.4 and 2.10, as applicable, and any information, direction or certification from the related transferor or transferee that the Indenture Trustee reasonably requests in order to effectuate such transfer to a Person who is not the Seller or an Affiliate of the Seller, evidencing
24

that such transfers are being made in accordance with transfer restrictions applicable to Global Notes or Regulation S Global Notes, and such transferred Notes shall for all purposes hereunder be Global Notes or Regulation S Global Notes, as applicable, from and after the transfer of such Notes to such other Person who is not the Seller or an Affiliate of the Seller.  None of the Issuer, the Note Registrar or the Indenture Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be fully protected in relying on, such instructions.  The Issuer represents that any indebtedness issued hereunder is excluded from the definition of “covered security” under Treasury Regulation 1.6045-1(a)(15) because such indebtedness is subject to Internal Revenue Code section 1272(a)(6).
(d)            None of the Issuer, the Note Registrar or the Indenture Trustee shall be liable for following any instructions contemplated by this Section 2.12 including any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be fully protected in relying on, such instructions, including the DWAC requests initiated through the Clearing Agency.  Upon the issuance of any Definitive Notes in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.12, the Indenture Trustee shall recognize the Holders of such Definitive Notes as Noteholders.  The Issuer represents that any indebtedness issued hereunder is excluded from the definition of “covered security” under Treasury Regulation 1.6045-1(a)(15) because such indebtedness is subject to Internal Revenue Code section 1272(a)(6).  Temporary Regulation S Global Notes may not be issued as Definitive Notes.

Section 5.4      Remedies.
40

(a)            If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Indenture Trustee shall, at the direction of the Majority Noteholders, do one or more of the following (subject to Section 5.5):
(i)            institute Proceedings in its own name and as trustee of an express trust for the collection of all amounts then payable on the Notes or under this Indenture with respect thereto, whether by declaration or otherwise, enforce any judgment obtained, and collect from the Issuer and any other obligor upon such moneys adjudged due;
(ii)            institute Proceedings from time to time for the complete or partial foreclosure of this Indenture with respect to the Trust Estate;
(iii)            exercise any remedies of a secured party under the UCC and take any other appropriate action to protect and enforce the rights and remedies of the Indenture Trustee and the Holders of the Notes; and
(iv)            sell the Trust Estate or any portion thereof or rights or interest therein, at one or more public or private sales called and conducted in any manner permitted by law; provided, however, that, the Indenture Trustee may not sell or otherwise liquidate the Trust Estate following an Event of Default unless:
(I)            such Event of Default is of the type described in Section 5.1(i) or (ii), or
(II)            either
(x)               the Holders of 100% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes consent thereto, or
(y)              the proceeds of such sale or liquidation distributable to the Noteholders are sufficient to discharge in full all amounts then due and unpaid upon such Notes for principal and interest, or
(z)            the Indenture Trustee determines that the Trust Estate will not continue to provide sufficient funds for the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes as they would have become due if the Notes had not been declared due and payable, and the Indenture Trustee provides prior written notice to the Issuer (who shall deliver such notice to the Rating Agencies) and obtains the consent of Holders of 66-2/3% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes.
In determining such sufficiency or insufficiency with respect to clauses (y) and (z), the Indenture Trustee may, but need not, obtain and conclusively rely upon an opinion of an Independent investment banking or accounting firm of national reputation as to the feasibility of such proposed action and as to the sufficiency of the Trust Estate for such purpose.
Section 5.5      Optional Preservation of the Trust Estate.  If the Notes have been declared to be due and payable under Section 5.2 following an Event of Default and such
41

declaration and its consequences have not been rescinded and annulled, the Indenture Trustee may, but need not, maintain possession of the Trust Estate.  It is the desire of the parties hereto and the Noteholders that there be at all times sufficient funds for the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes, and the Indenture Trustee shall take such desire into account when determining whether or not to maintain possession of the Trust Estate.  In determining whether to maintain possession of the Trust Estate, the Indenture Trustee may, but need not, obtain and conclusively rely upon an opinion of an Independent investment banking or accounting firm of national reputation as to the feasibility of such proposed action and as to the sufficiency of the Trust Estate for such purpose.

Section 5.7      Limitation of Suits.  No Holder of any Note shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless:
45

(i)               such Holder has previously given written notice to the Indenture Trustee of a continuing Event of Default;
(ii)            the Holders of not less than 25% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes have made written request to the Indenture Trustee to institute such Proceeding in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Indenture Trustee hereunder;
(iii)            such Holder or Holders have offered to the Indenture Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in complying with such request;
(iv)            the Indenture Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute such Proceedings; and
(v)            no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Indenture Trustee during such 60-day period by the Majority Noteholders;
it being understood and intended that no one or more Noteholders 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 Noteholders or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided.
Section 5.8      Unconditional Rights of Noteholders To Receive Principal and Interest.  Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Indenture, the Holder of any Note shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and interest, if any, on such Note on or after the respective due dates thereof expressed in such Note or in this Indenture (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such right shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.
Section 5.9      Restoration of Rights and Remedies.  If the Controlling Party or any Noteholder has instituted any Proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or has been determined adversely to the Indenture Trustee or to such Noteholder, then and in every such case the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders shall, subject to any determination in such Proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders shall continue as though no such Proceeding had been instituted.
Section 5.10      Rights and Remedies Cumulative.  No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Controlling Party or to the Noteholders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise.  The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.
46

Section 5.11      Delay or Omission Not a Waiver.  No delay or omission of the  Indenture Trustee, the Controlling Party or any Holder of any Note to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Default or Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Default or Event of Default or an acquiescence therein.  Every right and remedy given by this Article V or by law to the Indenture Trustee, the Controlling Party or to the Noteholders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Indenture Trustee, the Controlling Party or by the Noteholders, as the case may be.
Section 5.12      Control by Noteholders.  The Majority Noteholders shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any Proceeding for any remedy available to the Controlling Party or the Indenture Trustee, as applicable, with respect to the Notes or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Controlling Party or the Indenture Trustee, as applicable; provided that
(i)                such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture;

(iv)            the Indenture Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Indenture Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction;
provided, however, that, subject to Article VI, the Indenture Trustee need not take any action that it determines might involve it in liability, financial or otherwise, without receiving indemnity satisfactory to it, or might materially adversely affect the rights of any Noteholders not consenting to such action.
Section 5.13      Waiver of Past Defaults.  Prior to the declaration of the acceleration of the maturity of the Notes as provided in Section 5.4, the Majority Noteholders may waive any past Default or Event of Default and its consequences except a Default (a) in payment of principal of or interest on any of the Notes or (b) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Note.  In the case of any such waiver, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Holders of the Notes shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereto.
Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist and be deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred, for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such
47

waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereto.
Section 5.14      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 and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, 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; but the provisions of this Section shall not apply to (a) any suit instituted by the Indenture Trustee, (b) any suit instituted by any Noteholder, or group of Noteholders, in each case holding in the aggregate more than 10% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes or (c) 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 5.15      Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws.  The Issuer covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will 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 will 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 5.16      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.
Section 5.17      Performance and Enforcement of Certain Obligations.
(a)            Promptly following a request from the Indenture Trustee to do so, 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 and the Servicer, as applicable, of each of their obligations to the Issuer under or in connection with the Sale and Servicing 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 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 Seller or the Servicer thereunder and the institution of legal or administrative actions or Proceedings to compel or secure performance by the Seller or the Servicer of each of their obligations under the Sale and Servicing Agreement.
48

(b)            If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Controlling Party may, and, at the written direction of the Holders of 66-2/3% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes shall, subject to Article VI, exercise all rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims of the Issuer against the Seller or the Servicer under or in connection with the Sale and Servicing Agreement, including the right or power to take any action to compel or secure performance or observance by the Seller or the Servicer of each of their obligations to the Issuer thereunder and to give any consent, request, notice, direction, approval, extension or waiver under the Sale and Servicing Agreement, and any right of the Issuer to take such action shall be suspended.

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.  The Indenture Trustee is not responsible for any document provided to it, and it need not investigate or re-calculate, evaluate, verify or independently determine the accuracy of any report, certificate, information, statement, representation or warranty or any fact or matter stated in such document and may conclusively rely as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein.
(b)            Before the Indenture Trustee acts or refrains from acting, other than in the fulfillment of the specific duties and obligations required to be performed by it in connection with an asset representations review pursuant to Section 7.2(f), a repurchase of Receivables pursuant to Section 3.2(a) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement or dispute resolution pursuant to Section 3.4 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, it may require an Officer’s Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel, the costs of which (including the Indenture Trustee’s reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses) shall be paid by the party requesting that the Indenture Trustee act or refrain from acting.  The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on an Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel unless the Indenture Trustee was negligent in such reliance.
(c)            The Indenture Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents (including affiliates) 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, Exeter Finance LLC or any other party to the Basic Documents, or any other such agent, attorney, custodian or nominee appointed with due care by it hereunder.
(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 the Indenture Trustee’s conduct does not constitute willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith.
(e)            The Indenture Trustee may consult with counsel, and the advice or opinion of counsel (written or oral) 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 institute, conduct or defend any litigation under this Indenture or in relation to this Indenture, at the request, order or direction of any of the Noteholders, pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, unless such
51

Noteholders shall have offered to the Indenture Trustee security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities that may be incurred therein or thereby; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee shall, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (that has not been cured), exercise the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture with reasonable care and skill.
(g)            The Indenture Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any claims of breach of representations and warranties, resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or document, unless requested in writing to do so by the Noteholders evidencing not less than 25% of the Outstanding Amount thereof; provided, however, that if the payment within a reasonable time to the Indenture Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the Indenture Trustee, not reasonably assured to the Indenture Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms of this Indenture or the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Indenture Trustee may require an indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against such cost, expense or liability as a condition to so proceeding with such investigation; the reasonable expense of every such examination shall be paid by the Person making such request, or, if paid by the Indenture Trustee, shall be reimbursed by the Person making such request upon demand.
(h)            The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any losses on investments except for losses resulting from the failure of the Indenture Trustee to make an investment in accordance with instructions given in accordance hereunder.  If the Indenture Trustee acts as the Note Paying Agent or Note Registrar, the rights and protections afforded to the Indenture Trustee shall be afforded to the Note Paying Agent and Note Registrar.
(i)             Anything in this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the Indenture Trustee be liable for special, indirect, incidental, punitive or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), whether or not any such damages were foreseeable or contemplated, even if the Indenture Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.
(j)            The Indenture Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any event or information, including any Default or Event of Default, unless a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee has actual knowledge or receives written notice of such event or information. Absent actual knowledge or receipt of written notice in accordance with this Section, the Indenture Trustee may conclusively assume that no such event has occurred. The Indenture Trustee shall have no obligation to inquire into, or investigate as to, the occurrence of any such event (including any Default or Event of Default). For purposes of determining the Indenture Trustee’s responsibility and liability hereunder, whenever reference is made in this Indenture to any event (including, but not limited to, an Event of Default), such reference shall be construed to refer only to such event of which the Indenture Trustee has received notice or has actual knowledge as described in this Section.  The Indenture Trustee’s receipt of delivery of any reports or other information publicly available does not constitute actual or constructive knowledge or notice to the Indenture Trustee unless the Indenture Trustee has an obligation to review its content. Knowledge of the Indenture Trustee shall not be attributed or imputed to Citibank, N.A.’s other roles in the transaction, and knowledge of the Backup Servicer (including the Backup Servicer in
52

its capacity as the successor Servicer if so appointed) shall not be attributed or imputed to the Indenture Trustee (in each case, other than instances where such roles are performed by the same group or division within Citibank, N.A., or otherwise include common Responsible Officers) or any affiliate, line of business or other division of Citibank, N.A. (and vice versa).
(k)            To the extent the Indenture Trustee is requested by a party or Noteholder to act outside of its contractual obligations set forth under the terms of the Basic Documents, the Indenture Trustee may require indemnity satisfactory to it from the instructing party or Noteholder against the costs, expenses, and liabilities that may be incurred related to such request.
(l)              The Indenture Trustee shall have no responsibility for the enforceability of the Note or the recitals contained in the Basic Documents.
(m)            Except as otherwise expressly set forth in the Basic Documents, the Indenture Trustee shall not be held responsible for the acts or omissions of the Seller, Servicer, Issuer, Backup Servicer, Owner Trustee, or any other party to the Basic Documents, and may assume performance of such parties absent written notice or actual knowledge of a Responsible Officer to the contrary.

(a)            Pursuant to Section 5.7(a) and Section 8.3 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Issuer shall pay, to the Indenture Trustee and the Backup Servicer (subject to any applicable caps) from time to time 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 Issuer shall reimburse, the Indenture Trustee and the Backup Servicer (subject to any applicable caps) for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it, including costs of collection, in addition to the compensation for its services.  Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee’s and the Backup Servicer’s agents, counsel, accountants and experts.  The Issuer shall indemnify the Indenture Trustee, the Backup Servicer (including the Backup Servicer in its capacity as the successor Servicer if so appointed), and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents against any and all losses, liabilities or expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses of outside counsel, which shall include any reasonable fees and expenses of outside counsel incurred in connection with (i) any enforcement of the indemnification obligation hereunder or (ii) the successful defense, in whole or in part, of any claim that the Indenture Trustee or Backup Servicer (including the Backup Servicer in its capacity as the successor Servicer if so appointed) breached its standard of care) incurred by each of them in connection with the acceptance or the administration of the trusts hereunder and the performance of its duties hereunder and under the Basic Documents.  The Indenture Trustee or the Backup Servicer (including the Backup Servicer in its capacity as the successor Servicer if so appointed) shall notify the Issuer and the Servicer
54

promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity.  Failure by the Indenture Trustee or the Backup Servicer (including the Backup Servicer in its capacity as the successor Servicer if so appointed) to so notify the Issuer and the Servicer shall not relieve the Issuer of its obligations hereunder or the Servicer of its obligations under Article XI of the Sale and Servicing Agreement.  The Issuer shall defend, or shall cause the Servicer to defend, the claim, and the Indenture Trustee or the Backup Servicer (including the Backup Servicer in its capacity as the successor Servicer if so appointed) may have separate counsel and the Issuer shall pay, or cause the Servicer to pay, the fees and expenses of such counsel.  Neither the Issuer nor the Servicer need to reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Indenture Trustee or the Backup Servicer (including the Backup Servicer in its capacity as the successor Servicer if so appointed) through the Indenture Trustee’s or the Backup Servicer’s (including the Backup Servicer in its capacity as the successor Servicer if so appointed) own willful misconduct, gross negligence or bad faith.
(b)            The Issuer’s and the Servicer’s obligations to the Indenture Trustee or the Backup Servicer (including the Backup Servicer in its capacity as the successor Servicer if so appointed) pursuant to this Section shall survive the discharge or assignment of this Indenture or the earlier resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee or the Backup Servicer (including the Backup Servicer in its capacity as the successor Servicer if so appointed).  When the Indenture Trustee or the Backup Servicer (including the Backup Servicer in its capacity as the successor Servicer if so appointed) incurs expenses after the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in Section 5.1(v) or (vi) with respect to the Issuer, the 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.  Notwithstanding anything else set forth in this Indenture or the Basic Documents, the Indenture Trustee agrees that the obligations of the Issuer (but not the Servicer) to the Indenture Trustee hereunder and under the Basic Documents shall be recourse to the Trust Estate only and specifically shall not be recourse to the assets of any Certificateholder or Noteholder.  In addition, the Indenture Trustee agrees that its recourse (for its own account or the account of the Backup Servicer (including the Backup Servicer in its capacity as the successor Servicer if so appointed)) to the Issuer and the Trust Estate shall be limited to the right to receive the distributions referred to in Section 5.7(a) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement or Section 5.6 of this Indenture, as applicable.

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

If a successor Indenture Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Indenture Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Indenture Trustee, the Issuer or the Majority Noteholders may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee; all fees, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by the Indenture Trustee in connection with such petition will be paid by the Issuer pursuant to Section 5.7(a) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement or Section 5.6 of this Indenture, as applicable.
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.

Notwithstanding the replacement of the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section, the Issuer’s and the Servicer’s obligations under Section 6.7 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Indenture Trustee.

(f)            If a Delinquency Trigger occurs, a Noteholder (if the Notes are represented by Definitive Notes) or a Note Owner (if the Notes are represented by Book-Entry Notes) may make a written demand on the Indenture Trustee to cause a vote of the Noteholders or Note Owners, as applicable, about whether to direct the Asset Representations Reviewer to conduct an Asset Review of the Asset Review Receivables under the Asset Representations Review Agreement. In the case of a Note Owner, each written demand must be accompanied by a certification from that Person that it is a Note Owner, together with at least one form of documentation evidencing its ownership of a Note, including a trade confirmation, account statement, letter from a broker or dealer or similar document.  If Noteholders and Note Owners, as applicable, of at least 5% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes (excluding the Outstanding Amount of any Notes that are held by the Sponsor or any of its Affiliates) demand a vote within 90 days of the filing of the Form 10-D reporting the occurrence of the Delinquency Trigger, the Indenture Trustee will promptly request such a vote of the Noteholders through the Clearing Agency, which vote will remain open until the 150th day after the filing of the related Form 10-D. If (i) a voting quorum of Noteholders holding at least 5% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes (excluding the Outstanding Amount of any Notes that are held by the Sponsor or any of its Affiliates) participate in the related vote and (ii) Noteholders of a majority of the principal amount of Notes (excluding the Outstanding Amount of any Notes that are held by the Sponsor or any of its Affiliates) voted agree to an Asset Review, then the Indenture Trustee will send an Asset Review Notice to the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Servicer under the Asset Representations Review Agreement directing the Asset Representations Reviewer to conduct the Asset Review.

The Indenture Trustee is hereby authorized to join in the execution of any such supplemental indenture and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained.  The Indenture Trustee’s reasonable costs and expenses related to any such supplement shall be paid by the Issuer pursuant to Section 5.7(a) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement or Section 5.6 of this Indenture, as applicable.
(b)            The parties hereto, when authorized by an Issuer Order, may, also without the consent of any of the Holders of the Notes but with prior notice to the Rating Agencies by the Issuer, as evidenced to the Indenture Trustee, enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding any provisions to, or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of, this Indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Notes under this Indenture; provided, however, to the extent not otherwise permitted by Section 9.1(a), that as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel stating, (i) such action shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Noteholder, (ii) such supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by the terms of this Indenture and (iii) all conditions precedent to entering into such supplemental indenture have been satisfied.

(i)            change the date of payment of any installment of principal of or interest on any Note, or reduce the principal amount thereof, the interest rate thereon or the Redemption Price with respect thereto, change the provision of this Indenture relating to the application of collections on, or the proceeds of the sale of, the Trust Estate to payment of principal of or interest on the Notes, or change any place of payment where, or the coin or currency in which, any Note or the interest thereon is payable;
(ii)            impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of the provisions of this Indenture requiring the application of funds available therefor, as provided in Article V, to the payment of any such amount due on the Notes on or after the respective due dates thereof (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date);
68

(iii)            reduce the percentage of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, the consent of the Holders of which is required for any such supplemental indenture, or the consent of the Holders of which is required for any waiver of compliance with certain provisions of this Indenture or certain defaults hereunder and their consequences provided for in this Indenture;

(viii)        permit the creation of any lien ranking prior to or on a parity with the lien of this Indenture with respect to any part of the Trust Estate or, except as otherwise permitted or contemplated herein or in any of the Basic Documents, terminate the lien of this Indenture on any property at any time subject hereto or deprive the Holder of any Note of the security provided by the lien of this Indenture.
The Indenture Trustee may rely on an Opinion of Counsel of external counsel to the Issuer as to whether or not any Notes would be affected by any supplemental indenture and any such determination shall be conclusive upon the Holders of all Notes, whether theretofore or thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder.  The Indenture Trustee’s reasonable costs and expenses related to any supplemental indenture shall be paid by the Issuer pursuant to Section 5.7(a) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement or Section 5.6 of this Indenture, as applicable.
It shall not be necessary for any Act of Noteholders under this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such Act shall approve the substance thereof.
Promptly after the execution by the parties hereto of any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Section, the Indenture Trustee shall mail to the Holders of the Notes to which such amendment or supplemental indenture relates a notice setting forth in general terms the substance of such supplemental indenture.  Any failure of the Indenture Trustee to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture.
69

Section 9.3      Execution of Supplemental Indentures.  In executing, or permitting the additional trusts created by, any supplemental indenture permitted by this Article IX or the amendments or modifications thereby of the trusts created by this Indenture, the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to receive and shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture.  The Indenture Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such supplemental indenture that affects the Indenture Trustee’s own rights, duties, liabilities or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.
Section 9.4      Effect of Supplemental Indenture.  Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions hereof, this Indenture shall be and be deemed to be modified and amended in accordance therewith with respect to the Notes affected thereby, and the respective rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties, liabilities and immunities under this Indenture of the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer and the Holders of the Notes shall thereafter be determined, exercised and enforced hereunder subject in all respects to such modifications and amendments, and all the terms and conditions of any such supplemental indenture shall be and be deemed to be part of the terms and conditions of this Indenture for any and all purposes.
Section 9.5      Conformity With Trust Indenture Act.  Every amendment of this Indenture and every supplemental indenture executed pursuant to this Article IX shall conform to the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act as then in effect so long as this Indenture shall then be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act.

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

Section 11.2      Form of Documents Delivered to Indenture Trustee.  In any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more other such Persons
73

as to other matters, and any such Person may certify or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents.
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 his or her 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, an officer or officers of the Servicer, the Seller or the Issuer, stating that the information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the Servicer, the Seller or the Issuer, unless such counsel knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such matters are erroneous.
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.
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 Noteholders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Noteholders in person or by agents duly appointed in writing; and except as herein otherwise expressly provided such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Indenture Trustee, and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Issuer.  Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Noteholders signing such instrument or instruments.  Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 6.1) conclusive in favor of the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer, if made in the manner provided in this Section.  In the event the Indenture Trustee shall receive conflicting or inconsistent requests and indemnity from two or more groups of Noteholders, each representing less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes or the Majority Noteholders, the Indenture Trustee in its sole discretion may determine what action, if any, shall be taken, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture.

Section 11.5      Notices to Noteholders; Waiver.  Where this Indenture provides for notice to Noteholders of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class, postage prepaid to each Noteholder affected by such event, at his address as it appears on the Note Register, not later than the latest
75

date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice.  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 here in provided shall conclusively be presumed to have been duly given.
Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by any Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice.  Waivers of notice by Noteholders shall be filed with the Indenture Trustee but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such a waiver.
In case, by reason of the suspension of regular mail service as a result of a strike, work stoppage or similar activity, it shall be impractical to mail notice of any event to Noteholders when such notice is required to be given pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, then any manner of giving such notice as shall be satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to be a sufficient giving of such notice.
Where this Indenture provides for notice to the Rating Agencies, failure to give such notice shall not affect any other rights or obligations created hereunder, and shall not under any circumstance constitute a Default or Event of Default.
Section 11.6      Conflict with Trust Indenture Act.  If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with another provision hereof that is required to be included in this Indenture by any of the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act, such required provision shall control.
The provisions of TIA §§ 310 through 317 that impose duties on any person (including the provisions automatically deemed included herein unless expressly excluded by this Indenture) are a part of and govern this Indenture, whether or not physically contained herein.

Each party hereby agrees that it shall provide the Indenture Trustee with such information as the Indenture Trustee may reasonably request that will help the Indenture Trustee to identify and verify each party’s identity, including without limitation each party’s name, physical address, tax identification number, organizational documents, certificate of good standing, license to do business, or other pertinent identifying information.

Section 11.12      Legal Holidays.  In any case where the date on which any payment is due shall not be a Business Day, then (notwithstanding any other provision of the Notes or this Indenture) payment need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the date on which nominally due, and no interest shall accrue for the period from and after any such nominal date.
Section 11.13      GOVERNING LAW AND SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION.  THIS INDENTURE SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND THIS INDENTURE AND ALL MATTERS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THIS INDENTURE SHALL BE, GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS (OTHER THAN SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW).  EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AND THEIR ASSIGNEES AGREES TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY FEDERAL COURT LOCATED WITHIN THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

Each party hereto shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon, and shall have no liability with respect to, any faxed, scanned, or photocopied manual signature, or other electronic signature, of any other party and shall have no duty to investigate, confirm or otherwise verify the validity or authenticity thereof. This Indenture may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but such counterparts shall,
77

together, constitute one and the same instrument.  For the avoidance of doubt, original manual signatures shall be used for execution or indorsement of writings and authentication of Notes when required under the UCC or other Signature Law due to the character or intended character of the writings.
Section 11.16      Recording of Indenture.  If this Indenture is subject to recording in any appropriate public recording offices, such recording is to be effected by the Issuer and at its expense accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such recording is necessary either for the protection of the Noteholders or any other person secured hereunder or for the enforcement of any right or remedy granted to the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture.

For all purposes of this Indenture, in the performance of any duties or obligations of the Issuer hereunder, the Owner Trustee shall be subject to, and entitled to the benefits of, the terms and provisions of the Trust Agreement.

[REVERSE OF NOTE]
This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Issuer, designated as its Class A-1 [__]% Asset Backed Notes (herein called the “Class A-1 Notes”), all issued under an Indenture dated as of April 23, 2023 (such indenture, as supplemented or amended, is herein called the “Indenture”), among the Issuer, Exeter Holdings Trust 2023-2 (the “Holding Trust”) and Citibank, N.A., as indenture trustee (the “Indenture Trustee,” which term includes any successor Indenture Trustee under the Indenture) to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights and obligations thereunder of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Holders of the Notes.  The Notes are subject to all terms of the Indenture.  All terms used in this Note that are defined in the Indenture, as supplemented or amended, shall have the meanings assigned to them in or pursuant to the Indenture, as so supplemented or amended.
The Class A Notes, the Class B Notes, the Class C Notes, the Class D Notes and the Class E Notes (together, the “Notes”) are and will be equally and ratably secured by the collateral pledged as security therefor as provided in the Indenture.
Principal of the Class A-1 Notes will be payable on each Distribution Date in an amount described on the face hereof. “Distribution Date” means the fifteenth day of each month, or, if any such date is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day, commencing June 15, 2023.  If Exeter is no longer acting as Servicer, the distribution date may be a different day of the month. The term “Distribution Date,” shall be deemed to include the Final Scheduled Distribution Date.
As described above, the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note shall be due and payable on the earlier of the Final Scheduled Distribution Date and the Redemption Date, if any, pursuant to the Indenture.  As described above, a portion of the unpaid principal balance of this Note shall be due and payable on the Redemption Date, if any.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire unpaid principal amount of the Notes shall be due and payable on the date on which an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Majority Noteholders have declared the Notes to be immediately due and payable in the manner provided in the Indenture.  All principal payments on the Class A-1 Notes shall be made pro rata to the Class A-1 Noteholders entitled thereto.
Payments of interest on this Note due and payable on each Distribution Date, together with the installment of principal, if any, to the extent not in full payment of this Note, shall be made to the Person whose name appears as the Holder of this Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) on the Note Register as of the close of business on each Record Date, except that with respect to 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.  Any reduction in the principal amount of this 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 Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not noted hereon.  If funds are expected to be available, as provided in the Indenture, for payment in full of the then remaining unpaid principal amount of this Note on a Distribution Date, then the
A-1-5

Indenture Trustee, in the name of and on behalf of the Issuer, will notify the Person who was the Holder hereof as of the Record Date preceding such Distribution Date by notice mailed prior to such Distribution Date and the amount then due and payable shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of this Note at the Indenture Trustee’s principal Corporate Trust Office or at the office of the Indenture Trustee’s agent appointed for such purposes located in Jersey City, New Jersey.
The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the Class A-1 Interest Rate to the extent lawful.

Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note covenants and agrees (i) that no recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuer, the Holding Trust, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee on the Notes or under the Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered in connection therewith, against (a) the Seller, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, (b) any owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer or the Holding Trust or (c) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer, director, manager or employee of the Seller, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, any holder of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, the Holding Trust, the Seller, the Servicer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee or of any successor or assign of the Seller, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, except as any such Person may have expressly agreed (it being understood that the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee have no such obligations in their individual capacity) and except that any such partner, owner or beneficiary shall be fully liable, to the extent provided by applicable law, for any unpaid consideration for stock, unpaid capital contribution or failure to pay any installment or call owing to such entity, and (ii) to treat the Notes that are owned or beneficially owned by a Person other than a Certificateholder, or an Affiliate of a Certificateholder, as indebtedness for purposes of U.S. federal income, state and local income and franchise and any other income taxes.

[REVERSE OF NOTE]
This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Issuer, designated as its Class A-2 [__]% Asset Backed Notes (herein called the “Class A-2 Notes”), all issued under an Indenture dated as of April 23, 2023 (such indenture, as supplemented or amended, is herein called the “Indenture”), among the Issuer, Exeter Holdings Trust 2023-2 (the “Holding Trust”) and Citibank, N.A., as indenture trustee (the “Indenture Trustee,” which term includes any successor Indenture Trustee under the Indenture) to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights and obligations thereunder of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Holders of the Notes.  The Notes are subject to all terms of the Indenture.  All terms used in this Note that are defined in the Indenture, as supplemented or amended, shall have the meanings assigned to them in or pursuant to the Indenture, as so supplemented or amended.
The Class A Notes, the Class B Notes, the Class C Notes, the Class D Notes and the Class E Notes (together, the “Notes”) are and will be equally and ratably secured by the collateral pledged as security therefor as provided in the Indenture.
Principal of the Class A-2 Notes will be payable on each Distribution Date in an amount described on the face hereof. “Distribution Date” means the fifteenth day of each month, or, if any such date is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day, commencing June 15, 2023.  If Exeter is no longer acting as Servicer, the distribution date may be a different day of the month.  The term “Distribution Date,” shall be deemed to include the Final Scheduled Distribution Date.
As described above, the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note shall be due and payable on the earlier of the Final Scheduled Distribution Date and the Redemption Date, if any, pursuant to the Indenture.  As described above, a portion of the unpaid principal balance of this Note shall be due and payable on the Redemption Date, if any.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire unpaid principal amount of the Notes shall be due and payable on the date on which an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Majority Noteholders have declared the Notes to be immediately due and payable in the manner provided in the Indenture.  All principal payments on the Class A-2 Notes shall be made pro rata to the Class A-2 Noteholders entitled thereto.
Payments of interest on this Note due and payable on each Distribution Date, together with the installment of principal, if any, to the extent not in full payment of this Note, shall be made to the Person whose name appears as the Holder of this Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) on the Note Register as of the close of business on each Record Date, except that with respect to 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.  Any reduction in the principal amount of this 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 Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not noted hereon.  If funds are expected to be available, as provided in the Indenture, for payment in full of the then remaining unpaid principal amount of this Note on a Distribution Date, then the
A-2-5

Indenture Trustee, in the name of and on behalf of the Issuer, will notify the Person who was the Holder hereof as of the Record Date preceding such Distribution Date by notice mailed prior to such Distribution Date and the amount then due and payable shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of this Note at the Indenture Trustee’s principal Corporate Trust Office or at the office of the Indenture Trustee’s agent appointed for such purposes located in Jersey City, New Jersey.
The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the Class A-2 Interest Rate to the extent lawful.
As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations set forth therein, the transfer of this Note may be registered on the Note Register upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency designated by the Issuer pursuant to the Indenture, (i) 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 his attorney duly authorized in writing, with such signature guaranteed by an “eligible guarantor institution” meeting the requirements of the Note Registrar which requirements include membership or participation in Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program (“STAMP”) or such other “signature guarantee program” as may be determined by the Note Registrar in addition to, or in substitution for, STAMP, all in accordance with the Exchange Act, and (ii) accompanied by such other documents as the Indenture Trustee may require, and thereupon one or more new Notes of authorized denominations and in the same aggregate principal amount will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.  No service charge will be charged for any registration of transfer or exchange of this 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 acceptance of a Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note covenants and agrees (i) that no recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuer, the Holding Trust, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee on the Notes or under the Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered in connection therewith, against (a) the Seller, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, (b) any owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer or the Holding Trust or (c) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer, director, manager or employee of the Seller, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, any holder of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, the Holding Trust, the Seller, the Servicer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee or of any successor or assign of the Seller, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, except as any such Person may have expressly agreed (it being understood that the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee have no such obligations in their individual capacity) and except that any such partner, owner or beneficiary shall be fully liable, to the extent provided by applicable law, for any unpaid consideration for stock, unpaid capital contribution or failure to pay any installment or call owing to such entity, and (ii) to treat the Notes that are owned or beneficially owned by a Person other than a Certificateholder, or an Affiliate of a Certificateholder, as indebtedness for purposes of U.S. federal income, state and local income and franchise and any other income taxes.
Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of this Note, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee may treat the Person in

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Issuer and the rights of the Holders of the Notes under the Indenture at any time by the Issuer with the consent of the Majority Noteholders.  The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Noteholders representing specified percentages of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, 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 Holder of this Note (or any one of more Predecessor Notes) shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.  The Indenture also permits the Indenture Trustee to amend or waive certain terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture without the consent of Holders of the Notes issued thereunder.
The term “Issuer” as used in this Note includes any successor to the Issuer under the Indenture.
The Issuer is permitted by the Indenture, under certain circumstances, to merge or consolidate, subject to the rights of the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders 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 Note and the Indenture shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without reference to its conflict of law provisions, and the obligations, rights and remedies of the parties hereunder and thereunder shall be determined in accordance with such laws.
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this 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 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 Indenture or the Basic Documents, neither Wilmington Trust Company in its individual capacity, any owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, nor any of their respective partners, beneficiaries, agents, officers, directors, managers, employees or successors or assigns shall be personally liable for, nor shall recourse be had to any of them for, the payment of principal of or interest on, or performance of, or omission to perform, any of the covenants, obligations or indemnifications made by the Issuer in this Note or the Indenture, it being expressly understood that said covenants, obligations and indemnifications have been made by the Issuer and not by the foregoing Persons.  The Holder of this Note by the acceptance hereof agrees that except as
A-2-7

expressly provided in the Indenture or the Basic Documents, in the case of an Event of Default under the Indenture, the Holder shall have no claim against any of the foregoing for any deficiency, loss or claim therefrom; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be taken to prevent recourse to, and enforcement against, the assets of the Issuer for any and all liabilities, obligations and undertakings contained in the Indenture or in this Note.

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Issuer, designated as its Class B [__]% Asset Backed Notes (herein called the “Class B Notes”), all issued under an Indenture dated as of April 23, 2023 (such indenture, as supplemented or amended, is herein called the “Indenture”), among the Issuer, Exeter Holdings Trust 2023-2 (the “Holding Trust”) and Citibank, N.A., as indenture trustee (the “Indenture Trustee,” which term includes any successor Indenture Trustee under the Indenture) to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights and obligations thereunder of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Holders of the Notes.  The Notes are subject to all terms of the Indenture.  All terms used in this Note that are defined in the Indenture, as supplemented or amended, shall have the meanings assigned to them in or pursuant to the Indenture, as so supplemented or amended.
The Class A Notes, the Class B Notes, the Class C Notes, the Class D Notes and the Class E Notes (together, the “Notes”) are and will be equally and ratably secured by the collateral pledged as security therefor as provided in the Indenture.
Principal of the Class B Notes will be payable on each Distribution Date in an amount described on the face hereof. “Distribution Date” means the fifteenth day of each month, or, if any such date is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day, commencing June 15, 2023.  If Exeter is no longer acting as Servicer, the distribution date may be a different day of the month.  The term “Distribution Date,” shall be deemed to include the Final Scheduled Distribution Date.
As described above, the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note shall be due and payable on the earlier of the Final Scheduled Distribution Date and the Redemption Date, if any, pursuant to the Indenture.  As described above, a portion of the unpaid principal balance of this Note shall be due and payable on the Redemption Date, if any.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire unpaid principal amount of the Notes shall be due and payable on the date on which an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Majority Noteholders have declared the Notes to be immediately due and payable in the manner provided in the Indenture.  All principal payments on the Class B Notes shall be made pro rata to the Class B Noteholders entitled thereto.
Payments of interest on this Note due and payable on each Distribution Date, together with the installment of principal, if any, to the extent not in full payment of this Note, shall be made to the Person whose name appears as the Holder of this Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) on the Note Register as of the close of business on each Record Date, except that with respect to 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.  Any reduction in the principal amount of this 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 Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not noted hereon.  If funds are expected to be available, as provided in the Indenture, for payment in full of the then remaining unpaid principal amount of this Note on a Distribution Date, then the

Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note covenants and agrees (i) that no recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuer, the Holding Trust, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee on the Notes or under the Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered in connection therewith, against (a) the Seller, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, (b) any owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer or the Holding Trust or (c) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer, director, manager or employee of the Seller, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, any holder of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, the Holding Trust, the Seller, the Servicer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee or of any successor or assign of the Seller, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, except as any such Person may have expressly agreed (it being understood that the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee have no such obligations in their individual capacity) and except that any such partner, owner or beneficiary shall be fully liable, to the extent provided by applicable law, for any unpaid consideration for stock, unpaid capital contribution or failure to pay any installment or call owing to such entity, and (ii) to treat the Notes that are owned or beneficially owned by a Person other than a Certificateholder, or an Affiliate of a Certificateholder, as indebtedness for purposes of U.S. federal income, state and local income and franchise and any other income taxes.

[REVERSE OF NOTE]
This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Issuer, designated as its Class C [__]% Asset Backed Notes (herein called the “Class C Notes”), all issued under an Indenture dated as of April 23, 2023 (such indenture, as supplemented or amended, is herein called the “Indenture”), among the Issuer, Exeter Holdings Trust 2023-2 (the “Holding Trust”) and Citibank, N.A., as indenture trustee (the “Indenture Trustee,” which term includes any successor Indenture Trustee under the Indenture) to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights and obligations thereunder of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Holders of the Notes.  The Notes are subject to all terms of the Indenture.  All terms used in this Note that are defined in the Indenture, as supplemented or amended, shall have the meanings assigned to them in or pursuant to the Indenture, as so supplemented or amended.
The Class A Notes, the Class B Notes, the Class C Notes, the Class D Notes and the Class E Notes (together, the “Notes”) are and will be equally and ratably secured by the collateral pledged as security therefor as provided in the Indenture.
Principal of the Class C Notes will be payable on each Distribution Date in an amount described on the face hereof. “Distribution Date” means the fifteenth day of each month, or, if any such date is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day, commencing June 15, 2023.  If Exeter is no longer acting as Servicer, the distribution date may be a different day of the month.  The term “Distribution Date,” shall be deemed to include the Final Scheduled Distribution Date.
As described above, the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note shall be due and payable on the earlier of the Final Scheduled Distribution Date and the Redemption Date, if any, pursuant to the Indenture.  As described above, a portion of the unpaid principal balance of this Note shall be due and payable on the Redemption Date, if any.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire unpaid principal amount of the Notes shall be due and payable on the date on which an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Majority Noteholders have declared the Notes to be immediately due and payable in the manner provided in the Indenture.  All principal payments on the Class C Notes shall be made pro rata to the Class C Noteholders entitled thereto.
Payments of interest on this Note due and payable on each Distribution Date, together with the installment of principal, if any, to the extent not in full payment of this Note, shall be made to the Person whose name appears as the Holder of this Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) on the Note Register as of the close of business on each Record Date, except that with respect to 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.  Any reduction in the principal amount of this 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 Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not noted hereon.  If funds are expected to be available, as provided in the Indenture, for payment in full of the then remaining unpaid principal amount of this Note on a Distribution Date, then the
C-1-5

Indenture Trustee, in the name of and on behalf of the Issuer, will notify the Person who was the Holder hereof as of the Record Date preceding such Distribution Date by notice mailed prior to such Distribution Date and the amount then due and payable shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of this Note at the Indenture Trustee’s principal Corporate Trust Office or at the office of the Indenture Trustee’s agent appointed for such purposes located in Jersey City, New Jersey.
The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the Class C Interest Rate to the extent lawful.
As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations set forth therein, the transfer of this Note may be registered on the Note Register upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency designated by the Issuer pursuant to the Indenture, (i) 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 his attorney duly authorized in writing, with such signature guaranteed by an “eligible guarantor institution” meeting the requirements of the Note Registrar which requirements include membership or participation in Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program (“STAMP”) or such other “signature guarantee program” as may be determined by the Note Registrar in addition to, or in substitution for, STAMP, all in accordance with the Exchange Act, and (ii) accompanied by such other documents as the Indenture Trustee may require, and thereupon one or more new Notes of authorized denominations and in the same aggregate principal amount will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.  No service charge will be charged for any registration of transfer or exchange of this 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 acceptance of a Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note covenants and agrees (i) that no recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuer, the Holding Trust, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee on the Notes or under the Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered in connection therewith, against (a) the Seller, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, (b) any owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer or the Holding Trust or (c) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer, director, manager or employee of the Seller, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, any holder of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, the Holding Trust, the Seller, the Servicer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee or of any successor or assign of the Seller, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, except as any such Person may have expressly agreed (it being understood that the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee have no such obligations in their individual capacity) and except that any such partner, owner or beneficiary shall be fully liable, to the extent provided by applicable law, for any unpaid consideration for stock, unpaid capital contribution or failure to pay any installment or call owing to such entity, and (ii) to treat the Notes that are owned or beneficially owned by a Person other than a Certificateholder, or an Affiliate of a Certificateholder, as indebtedness for purposes of U.S. federal income, state and local income and franchise and any other income taxes.

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Issuer and the rights of the Holders of the Notes under the Indenture at any time by the Issuer with the consent of the Majority Noteholders.  The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Noteholders representing specified percentages of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, 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 Holder of this Note (or any one of more Predecessor Notes) shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.  The Indenture also permits the Indenture Trustee to amend or waive certain terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture without the consent of Holders of the Notes issued thereunder.
The term “Issuer” as used in this Note includes any successor to the Issuer under the Indenture.
The Issuer is permitted by the Indenture, under certain circumstances, to merge or consolidate, subject to the rights of the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders under the Indenture.

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

C-1-7

expressly provided in the Indenture or the Basic Documents, in the case of an Event of Default under the Indenture, the Holder shall have no claim against any of the foregoing for any deficiency, loss or claim therefrom; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be taken to prevent recourse to, and enforcement against, the assets of the Issuer for any and all liabilities, obligations and undertakings contained in the Indenture or in this Note.

[REVERSE OF NOTE]
This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Issuer, designated as its Class E [__]% Asset Backed Notes (herein called the “Class E Notes”), all issued under an Indenture dated as of April 23, 2023 (such indenture, as supplemented or amended, is herein called the “Indenture”), among the Issuer, Exeter Holdings Trust 2023-2 (the “Holding Trust”) and Citibank, N.A., as indenture trustee (the “Indenture Trustee,” which term includes any successor Indenture Trustee under the Indenture) to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights and obligations thereunder of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Holders of the Notes.  The Notes are subject to all terms of the Indenture.  All terms used in this Note that are defined in the Indenture, as supplemented or amended, shall have the meanings assigned to them in or pursuant to the Indenture, as so supplemented or amended.
The Class A Notes, the Class B Notes, the Class C Notes, the Class D Notes and the Class E Notes (together, the “Notes”) are and will be equally and ratably secured by the collateral pledged as security therefor as provided in the Indenture.
Principal of the Class E Notes will be payable on each Distribution Date in an amount described on the face hereof. “Distribution Date” means the fifteenth day of each month, or, if any such date is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day, commencing June 15, 2023.  If Exeter is no longer acting as Servicer, the distribution date may be a different day of the month.  The term “Distribution Date,” shall be deemed to include the Final Scheduled Distribution Date.
As described above, the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note shall be due and payable on the earlier of the Final Scheduled Distribution Date and the Redemption Date, if any, pursuant to the Indenture.  As described above, a portion of the unpaid principal balance of this Note shall be due and payable on the Redemption Date, if any.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire unpaid principal amount of the Notes shall be due and payable on the date on which an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Majority Noteholders have declared the Notes to be immediately due and payable in the manner provided in the Indenture.  All principal payments on the Class E Notes shall be made pro rata to the Class E Noteholders entitled thereto.
Payments of interest on this Note due and payable on each Distribution Date, together with the installment of principal, if any, to the extent not in full payment of this Note, shall be made to the Person whose name appears as the Holder of this Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) on the Note Register as of the close of business on each Record Date, except that with respect to 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.  Any reduction in the principal amount of this 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 Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not noted hereon.  If funds are expected to be available, as provided in the Indenture, for payment in full of the then remaining unpaid principal amount of this Note on a Distribution Date, then the
E-1-8

Indenture Trustee, in the name of and on behalf of the Issuer, will notify the Person who was the Holder hereof as of the Record Date preceding such Distribution Date by notice mailed prior to such Distribution Date and the amount then due and payable shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of this Note at the Indenture Trustee’s principal Corporate Trust Office or at the office of the Indenture Trustee’s agent appointed for such purposes located in Jersey City, New Jersey.
The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the Class E Interest Rate to the extent lawful.
As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations set forth therein, the transfer of this Note may be registered on the Note Register upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency designated by the Issuer pursuant to the Indenture, (i) 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 his attorney duly authorized in writing, with such signature guaranteed by an “eligible guarantor institution” meeting the requirements of the Note Registrar which requirements include membership or participation in Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program (“STAMP”) or such other “signature guarantee program” as may be determined by the Note Registrar in addition to, or in substitution for, STAMP, all in accordance with the Exchange Act, and (ii) accompanied by such other documents as the Indenture Trustee may require, and thereupon one or more new Notes of authorized denominations and in the same aggregate principal amount will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.  No service charge will be charged for any registration of transfer or exchange of this 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 acceptance of a Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note covenants and agrees (i) that no recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuer, the Holding Trust, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee on the Notes or under the Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered in connection therewith, against (a) the Seller, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, (b) any owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer or the Holding Trust or (c) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer, director, manager or employee of the Seller, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, any holder of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, the Holding Trust, the Seller, the Servicer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee or of any successor or assign of the Seller, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, except as any such Person may have expressly agreed (it being understood that the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee have no such obligations in their individual capacity) and except that any such partner, owner or beneficiary shall be fully liable, to the extent provided by applicable law, for any unpaid consideration for stock, unpaid capital contribution or failure to pay any installment or call owing to such entity, and (ii) to treat the Notes that are owned or beneficially owned by a Person other than a Certificateholder, or an Affiliate of a Certificateholder, as indebtedness for purposes of U.S. federal income, state and local income and franchise and any other income taxes.

The term “Issuer” as used in this Note includes any successor to the Issuer under the Indenture.
The Issuer is permitted by the Indenture, under certain circumstances, to merge or consolidate, subject to the rights of the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders under the Indenture.

expressly provided in the Indenture or the Basic Documents, in the case of an Event of Default under the Indenture, the Holder shall have no claim against any of the foregoing for any deficiency, loss or claim therefrom; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be taken to prevent recourse to, and enforcement against, the assets of the Issuer for any and all liabilities, obligations and undertakings contained in the Indenture or in this Note.

[REVERSE OF NOTE]
This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Issuer, designated as its Class E [__]% Asset Backed Notes (herein called the “Class E Notes”), all issued under an Indenture dated as of April 23, 2023 (such indenture, as supplemented or amended, is herein called the “Indenture”), among the Issuer, Exeter Holdings Trust 2023-2 (the “Holding Trust”) and Citibank, N.A., as indenture trustee (the “Indenture Trustee,” which term includes any successor Indenture Trustee under the Indenture) to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights and obligations thereunder of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Holders of the Notes.  The Notes are subject to all terms of the Indenture.  All terms used in this Note that are defined in the Indenture, as supplemented or amended, shall have the meanings assigned to them in or pursuant to the Indenture, as so supplemented or amended.
The Class A Notes, the Class B Notes, the Class C Notes, the Class D Notes and the Class E Notes (together, the “Notes”) are and will be equally and ratably secured by the collateral pledged as security therefor as provided in the Indenture.
Principal of the Class E Notes will be payable on each Distribution Date in an amount described on the face hereof. “Distribution Date” means the fifteenth day of each month, or, if any such date is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day, commencing June 15, 2023.  If Exeter is no longer acting as Servicer, the distribution date may be a different day of the month.  The term “Distribution Date,” shall be deemed to include the Final Scheduled Distribution Date.
As described above, the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note shall be due and payable on the earlier of the Final Scheduled Distribution Date and the Redemption Date, if any, pursuant to the Indenture.  As described above, a portion of the unpaid principal balance of this Note shall be due and payable on the Redemption Date, if any.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire unpaid principal amount of the Notes shall be due and payable on the date on which an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Majority Noteholders have declared the Notes to be immediately due and payable in the manner provided in the Indenture.  All principal payments on the Class E Notes shall be made pro rata to the Class E Noteholders entitled thereto.
Payments of interest on this Note due and payable on each Distribution Date, together with the installment of principal, if any, to the extent not in full payment of this Note, shall be made to the Person whose name appears as the Holder of this Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) on the Note Register as of the close of business on each Record Date, except that with respect to 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.  Any reduction in the principal amount of this 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 Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not noted hereon.  If funds are expected to be available, as provided in the Indenture, for payment in full of the then remaining unpaid principal amount of this Note on a Distribution Date, then the
E-2-8

Indenture Trustee, in the name of and on behalf of the Issuer, will notify the Person who was the Holder hereof as of the Record Date preceding such Distribution Date by notice mailed prior to such Distribution Date and the amount then due and payable shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of this Note at the Indenture Trustee’s principal Corporate Trust Office or at the office of the Indenture Trustee’s agent appointed for such purposes located in Jersey City, New Jersey.
The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the Class E Interest Rate to the extent lawful.
As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations set forth therein, the transfer of this Note may be registered on the Note Register upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency designated by the Issuer pursuant to the Indenture, (i) 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 his attorney duly authorized in writing, with such signature guaranteed by an “eligible guarantor institution” meeting the requirements of the Note Registrar which requirements include membership or participation in Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program (“STAMP”) or such other “signature guarantee program” as may be determined by the Note Registrar in addition to, or in substitution for, STAMP, all in accordance with the Exchange Act, and (ii) accompanied by such other documents as the Indenture Trustee may require, and thereupon one or more new Notes of authorized denominations and in the same aggregate principal amount will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.  No service charge will be charged for any registration of transfer or exchange of this 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 acceptance of a Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note covenants and agrees (i) that no recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuer, the Holding Trust, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee on the Notes or under the Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered in connection therewith, against (a) the Seller, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, (b) any owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer or the Holding Trust or (c) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer, director, manager or employee of the Seller, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, any holder of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, the Holding Trust, the Seller, the Servicer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee or of any successor or assign of the Seller, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, except as any such Person may have expressly agreed (it being understood that the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee have no such obligations in their individual capacity) and except that any such partner, owner or beneficiary shall be fully liable, to the extent provided by applicable law, for any unpaid consideration for stock, unpaid capital contribution or failure to pay any installment or call owing to such entity, and (ii) to treat the Notes that are owned or beneficially owned by a Person other than a Certificateholder, or an Affiliate of a Certificateholder, as indebtedness for purposes of U.S. federal income, state and local income and franchise and any other income taxes.

The term “Issuer” as used in this Note includes any successor to the Issuer under the Indenture.
The Issuer is permitted by the Indenture, under certain circumstances, to merge or consolidate, subject to the rights of the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders 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 Note and the Indenture shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without reference to its conflict of law provisions, and the obligations, rights and remedies of the parties hereunder and thereunder shall be determined in accordance with such laws.

E-2-10

expressly provided in the Indenture or the Basic Documents, in the case of an Event of Default under the Indenture, the Holder shall have no claim against any of the foregoing for any deficiency, loss or claim therefrom; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be taken to prevent recourse to, and enforcement against, the assets of the Issuer for any and all liabilities, obligations and undertakings contained in the Indenture or in this Note.

[REVERSE OF NOTE]
This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Issuer, designated as its Class E [__]% Asset Backed Notes (herein called the “Class E Notes”), all issued under an Indenture dated as of April 23, 2023 (such indenture, as supplemented or amended, is herein called the “Indenture”), among the Issuer, Exeter Holdings Trust 2023-2 (the “Holding Trust”) and Citibank, N.A., as indenture trustee (the “Indenture Trustee,” which term includes any successor Indenture Trustee under the Indenture) to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights and obligations thereunder of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Holders of the Notes.  The Notes are subject to all terms of the Indenture.  All terms used in this Note that are defined in the Indenture, as supplemented or amended, shall have the meanings assigned to them in or pursuant to the Indenture, as so supplemented or amended.
The Class A Notes, the Class B Notes, the Class C Notes, the Class D Notes and the Class E Notes (together, the “Notes”) are and will be equally and ratably secured by the collateral pledged as security therefor as provided in the Indenture.
Principal of the Class E Notes will be payable on each Distribution Date in an amount described on the face hereof. “Distribution Date” means the fifteenth day of each month, or, if any such date is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day, commencing June 15, 2023.  If Exeter is no longer acting as Servicer, the distribution date may be a different day of the month.  The term “Distribution Date,” shall be deemed to include the Final Scheduled Distribution Date.
As described above, the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note shall be due and payable on the earlier of the Final Scheduled Distribution Date and the Redemption Date, if any, pursuant to the Indenture.  As described above, a portion of the unpaid principal balance of this Note shall be due and payable on the Redemption Date, if any.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire unpaid principal amount of the Notes shall be due and payable on the date on which an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Majority Noteholders have declared the Notes to be immediately due and payable in the manner provided in the Indenture.  All principal payments on the Class E Notes shall be made pro rata to the Class E Noteholders entitled thereto.
Payments of interest on this Note due and payable on each Distribution Date, together with the installment of principal, if any, to the extent not in full payment of this Note, shall be made to the Person whose name appears as the Holder of this Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) on the Note Register as of the close of business on each Record Date, except that with respect to 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.  Any reduction in the principal amount of this 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 Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not noted hereon.  If funds are expected to be available, as provided in the Indenture, for payment in full of the then remaining unpaid principal amount of this Note on a Distribution Date, then the
E-3-8

Indenture Trustee, in the name of and on behalf of the Issuer, will notify the Person who was the Holder hereof as of the Record Date preceding such Distribution Date by notice mailed prior to such Distribution Date and the amount then due and payable shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of this Note at the Indenture Trustee’s principal Corporate Trust Office or at the office of the Indenture Trustee’s agent appointed for such purposes located in Jersey City, New Jersey.
The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the Class E Interest Rate to the extent lawful.
As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations set forth therein, the transfer of this Note may be registered on the Note Register upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency designated by the Issuer pursuant to the Indenture, (i) 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 his attorney duly authorized in writing, with such signature guaranteed by an “eligible guarantor institution” meeting the requirements of the Note Registrar which requirements include membership or participation in Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program (“STAMP”) or such other “signature guarantee program” as may be determined by the Note Registrar in addition to, or in substitution for, STAMP, all in accordance with the Exchange Act, and (ii) accompanied by such other documents as the Indenture Trustee may require, and thereupon one or more new Notes of authorized denominations and in the same aggregate principal amount will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.  No service charge will be charged for any registration of transfer or exchange of this 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 acceptance of a Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note covenants and agrees (i) that no recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuer, the Holding Trust, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee on the Notes or under the Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered in connection therewith, against (a) the Seller, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, (b) any owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer or the Holding Trust or (c) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer, director, manager or employee of the Seller, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, any holder of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, the Holding Trust, the Seller, the Servicer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee or of any successor or assign of the Seller, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, except as any such Person may have expressly agreed (it being understood that the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee have no such obligations in their individual capacity) and except that any such partner, owner or beneficiary shall be fully liable, to the extent provided by applicable law, for any unpaid consideration for stock, unpaid capital contribution or failure to pay any installment or call owing to such entity, and (ii) to treat the Notes that are owned or beneficially owned by a Person other than a Certificateholder, or an Affiliate of a Certificateholder, as indebtedness for purposes of U.S. federal income, state and local income and franchise and any other income taxes.
Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of this Note, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee may treat the Person in

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Issuer and the rights of the Holders of the Notes under the Indenture at any time by the Issuer with the consent of the Majority Noteholders.  The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Noteholders representing specified percentages of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, 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 Holder of this Note (or any one of more Predecessor Notes) shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.  The Indenture also permits the Indenture Trustee to amend or waive certain terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture without the consent of Holders of the Notes issued thereunder.
The term “Issuer” as used in this Note includes any successor to the Issuer under the Indenture.
The Issuer is permitted by the Indenture, under certain circumstances, to merge or consolidate, subject to the rights of the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders 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 Note and the Indenture shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without reference to its conflict of law provisions, and the obligations, rights and remedies of the parties hereunder and thereunder shall be determined in accordance with such laws.

E-3-10

expressly provided in the Indenture or the Basic Documents, in the case of an Event of Default under the Indenture, the Holder shall have no claim against any of the foregoing for any deficiency, loss or claim therefrom; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be taken to prevent recourse to, and enforcement against, the assets of the Issuer for any and all liabilities, obligations and undertakings contained in the Indenture or in this Note.

4.            No Impairment.  Other than the security interest granted to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Indenture, the Holding Trust has not pledged, assigned, sold, granted a security interest in, or otherwise conveyed any of the Receivables.

Sch. A-1

8.            One Original.  There is only one original executed copy (or with respect to “electronic chattel paper”, one authoritative copy) of each Contract.  With respect to Contracts that are “electronic chattel paper”, each authoritative copy (a) is unique, identifiable and unalterable (other than with the participation of the Custodian in the case of an addition or amendment of an identified assignee and other than a revision that is readily identifiable as an authorized or unauthorized revision) and (b) has been communicated to and is maintained by or on behalf of the Custodian, solely for the benefit of the Indenture Trustee.
9.            Not an Authoritative Copy.  With respect to Contracts that are “electronic chattel paper”, each copy of the authoritative copy and any copy of a copy are readily identifiable as copies that are not the authoritative copy.

11.            Pledge or Assignment.  With respect to Contracts that are “electronic chattel paper”, the authoritative copy of each Contract communicated to the Custodian has no marks or notations indicating that it has been pledged, assigned or otherwise conveyed to any Person other than the Custodian.
