REVERSE OF 2015-3 EXCHANGE NOTE

This 2015-3 Exchange Note is one of the duly authorized issue of Exchange Notes, which may be issued under the Credit and Security Agreement, to which Credit and Security Agreement and all Exchange Note Supplements that are supplemental thereto reference is made for a statement of the respective rights and obligations thereunder of the Borrower, the Lender, the Servicer, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the 2015-3 Exchange Noteholders. This 2015-3 Exchange Note is subject to all terms of the Credit and Security Agreement and the Exchange Note Supplement. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this 2015-3 Exchange Note, the terms of the Credit and Security Agreement and the terms of the Exchange Note Supplement, the Exchange Note Supplement will prevail.

Interest on and principal of this 2015-3 Exchange Note will be payable in accordance with the priority of payments set forth in Section 5.1 of the Exchange Note Supplement.

Principal of this 2015-3 Exchange Note will be payable on each Payment Date in an amount equal to the Exchange Note Principal Payment Amount for such Payment Date. “Payment Date” means the twentieth (20th) day of each calendar month or, if any such day is not a Business Day, the next Business Day, commencing November 20, 2015.

As described on the face hereof, the entire unpaid principal amount of this 2015-3 Exchange Note will be due and payable on the Exchange Note Final Scheduled Payment Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire unpaid principal amount of this 2015-3 Exchange Note will be due and payable on the date on which an Exchange Note Default with respect to this 2015-3 Exchange Note has occurred and is continuing and the 2015-3 Exchange Noteholder has declared this 2015-3 Exchange Note to be immediately due and payable, or the 2015-3 Exchange Note has automatically been declared immediately due and payable, in each case in the manner provided in the Credit and Security Agreement and the Exchange Note Supplement.

Payments of interest on this 2015-3 Exchange Note on each Payment Date, together with the installment of principal, if any, to the extent not in full payment of this 2015-3 Exchange Note, will be made either by wire transfer in immediately available funds, to the account of the 2015-3 Exchange Noteholder or an account designated by the 2015-3 Exchange Noteholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor if such 2015-3 Exchange Noteholder has provided to the Exchange Note Registrar appropriate written instructions at least five Business Days prior to such Payment Date or, if not, by check mailed first-class mail postage prepaid to the 2015-3 Exchange Noteholder’s address as it appears on the Exchange Note Register prior to such Payment Date, except that the final installment of principal payable on this 2015-3 Exchange Note on a Payment Date or the Exchange Note Final Scheduled Payment Date will be payable only upon the presentation and surrender of this 2015-3 Exchange Note in the manner set forth the Credit and Security Agreement. Such payments will be made without requiring that this 2015-3 Exchange Note be submitted for notation of payment. Any reduction in the principal amount of this 2015-3 Exchange Note effected by any payments made on any Payment Date or due to a reallocation of any Collateral Lease Agreements and Collateral Leased Vehicle from the 2015-3 Designated Pool will be binding upon all future 2015-3 Exchange Noteholders of this 2015-3 Exchange Note and of any 2015-3 Exchange 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 Exchange Note Supplement and the Credit and Security Agreement, for payment in full of the then remaining unpaid principal amount of this 2015-3 Exchange Note on a Payment Date, then the Administrative Agent will notify the 2015-3 Exchange Noteholder of the date on which the Borrower expects that the final installment of principal of and interest on this 2015-3 Exchange Note will be paid not later than 5 days prior to such date. Such notice will specify that such final installment will be payable only upon presentation and surrender of this 2015-3 Exchange Note and will specify the place where this 2015-3 Exchange Note may be presented and surrendered for payment of such installment.

As provided in the Exchange Note Supplement, the principal amount of this 2015-3 Exchange Note may be decreased from time to time, in the manner and to the extent described in Section 2.6 of the Exchange Note Supplement.

The transfer of this 2015-3 Exchange Note is subject to the restrictions on transfer specified on the face hereof and to the other limitations set forth in the Credit and Security Agreement and the Exchange Note Supplement. Subject to the satisfaction of such restrictions and limitations, the transfer of this 2015-3 Exchange Note may be registered on the Exchange Note Register upon surrender of this 2015-3 Exchange Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency designated by the Borrower pursuant to the Credit and Security Agreement, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Administrative Agent duly executed by the 2015-3 Exchange Noteholder hereof or the 2015-3 Exchange Noteholder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, with such signature guaranteed by an “eligible guarantor institution” meeting the requirements of the Exchange Note Registrar, and thereupon a new 2015-3 Exchange Note in the same aggregate principal amount will be issued to the designated transferee. No service charge will be charged for any registration of transfer or exchange of this 2015-3 Exchange 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.

The 2015-3 Exchange Noteholder, by accepting this 2015-3 Exchange Note acknowledges and agrees that (i) if an Insolvency Event occurs with respect to the Borrower, any claim that the 2015-3 Exchange Noteholder may seek to enforce at any time against the Borrower will be limited in recourse to the 2015-3 Designated Pool and (ii) if, notwithstanding clause (i), the 2015-3 Exchange Noteholder is deemed to have any claim against the assets of the Borrower other than the assets included in the 2015-3 Designated Pool, whether by operation of law, legal process, pursuant to insolvency laws or otherwise (including by virtue of Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code), such claim will be subordinate to the payment in full, including post-petition interest, of the claims of the Lender and the holders of (A) all other Exchange Notes and (B) in the case of assets allocated to a Series Interest other than the Series CSA Interest, all other asset-backed securities, the payments on which are derived primarily from collections on designated assets of the Borrower and all related hedging arrangements.

THE RECITATION SET FORTH IN THE PRECEDING PARAGRAPH WILL BE DEEMED TO CONSTITUTE AN ENFORCEABLE SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT WITHIN THE MEANING OF SECTION 510(A) OF THE BANKRUPTCY CODE.

 

EA-6

The Credit and Security Agreement permits the amendment thereof (in any manner and for any purpose) by the Borrower, the Collateral Agent, the Lender and the Administrative Agent so long as each Exchange Noteholder of an Outstanding Exchange Note has consented to such amendment. The Credit and Security Agreement also permits the amendment thereof to amend or waive certain terms and conditions set forth therein without the consent of the Noteholders provided that certain conditions are satisfied. Any such consent by the 2015-3 Exchange Noteholder will be conclusive and binding upon the 2015-3 Exchange Noteholder and upon all future holders of this 2015-3 Exchange Note and of any 2015-3 Exchange 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 2015-3 Exchange Note.

No reference herein to the Credit and Security Agreement or the Exchange Note Supplement, and no provision of this 2015-3 Exchange Note or of the Credit and Security Agreement will alter or impair the obligation of the Borrower, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this 2015-3 Exchange Note at the time, place and rate, and in the coin or currency herein prescribed.
