SECTION 2.04 Registration of and Limitations on Transfer and Exchange of Notes; Appointment of Note Registrar .

(a) The Indenture Trustee shall act as, or shall appoint, a note registrar (in such capacity, the “ Note Registrar ”) that shall provide for the registration of Notes, and transfers and exchanges of Notes as herein provided. The Note Registrar shall initially be the Indenture Trustee and any co-note registrar chosen by the Indenture Trustee and acceptable to the Issuer. The Note Registrar shall keep a register (the “ Note Register ”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the registration of Notes and the registration of transfers of Notes shall be provided. The Note Registrar shall act solely for the purpose of maintaining the Note Register as an agent of the Issuer. Any transfer of an interest in a Note shall be reflected in the Note Register and entries in the Note Register shall be presumed correct. The Issuer hereby has the right to examine the Note Register at any time upon reasonable notice to the Note Registrar. Any reference in this Indenture to the Note Registrar shall include any co-note registrar unless the context requires otherwise. The Indenture Trustee may revoke such appointment and remove any Note Registrar if the Indenture Trustee determines in its sole discretion that such Note Registrar failed to perform its obligations under this Indenture in any material respect.

5

(30) days written notice to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee; provided , however , that such resignation shall not be effective and such Note Registrar shall continue to perform its duties as Note Registrar until the Indenture Trustee has appointed a successor Note Registrar (which may be the Indenture Trustee) reasonably acceptable to the Issuer; provided , further , that if the Indenture Trustee resigns and the Indenture Trustee is the Note Registrar at the time of such resignation, then, at the effective time of the Indenture Trustee’s resignation, the Note Registrar shall be deemed resigned and shall thereafter have no further obligations with respect to this Indenture.

(b) No transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of any Note or interest therein shall be made unless that transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition is exempt from the registration and/or qualification requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws, or is otherwise made in accordance with the Securities Act and such state securities laws. None of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or the Note Registrar is obligated to register or qualify any Notes under the Securities Act or any other securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under this Indenture to permit the transfer of any Note or interest therein without registration or qualification. Any Noteholder desiring to effect a transfer of Notes or interests therein shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Note Registrar against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws. Any attempted transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of any Note or interest therein in contravention of this Section 2.04 will be void ab initio and the purported transferor will continue to be treated as the owner of the Notes for all purposes.

(c) The Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities law. The Notes will be issued only in the form of one or more fully-registered Definitive Notes without interest coupons. The Issuer represents that the Notes are of the type of debt instruments where payments under such debt instruments may be accelerated by reason of prepayments of other obligations securing such debt instruments.

Each purchaser of a Note will be required to certify, and by acceptance of a Note shall be deemed to have certified, to the Indenture Trustee and Note Registrar that:

(i) the purchaser is a QIB or (in the case of the initial purchaser of Notes) an Institutional Accredited Investor and is acquiring such Notes for its own account or as a fiduciary or agent for others (which others are also QIBs or Institutional Accredited Investors) for investment purposes and not for distribution in violation of the Securities Act, and it is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Notes and has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of purchasing the Notes;

(ii) the purchaser understands that the Notes are being offered only in a transaction that does not require registration of the Notes under the Securities Act and, if such purchaser decides to resell, pledge or otherwise transfer such Notes, then it agrees that it will resell, pledge or transfer such Notes only to a person who the seller reasonably believes is a QIB acquiring the Notes for its own account or as a fiduciary or agent for others (which others must also be QIBs) to whom notice is given that the resale or other transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A or another exemption from registration under the Securities Act;

6

(iii) the purchaser shall notify each transferee of the Notes that (1) the Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act, (2) the holder of Notes is subject to the restrictions on the resale or other transfer thereof described in paragraph (ii) above, and (3) such transferee shall be deemed to have represented (x) as to its status as a QIB in reliance on Rule 144A or another exemption from registration under the Securities Act, (y) that such transferee is acquiring the Notes for its own account or as a fiduciary or agent for others (which others also must be QIBs), and (z) that such transferee shall be deemed to have agreed to notify its subsequent transferees as to the foregoing;

(iv) the purchaser understands that each Note will bear the legends set forth in Exhibit A hereto; and

(v) either (a) it is not and is not acting on behalf or using the assets of (1) an “employee benefit plan”, as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, that is subject to Title I of ERISA, (2) a “plan,” as defined in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code that is subject to Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code, (3) an entity whose underlying assets include “plan assets” by reason of such employee benefit plan’s or plan’s investment in the entity (within the meaning of Department of Labor Regulation 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101, as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA), or (4) any governmental, church, non-U.S. or other plan that is subject to any non-U.S., federal, state or local law that is substantially similar to Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code (“Similar Law”) or an entity whose underlying assets include assets of any such plan; or (b) the acquisition, continued holding and disposition of the Notes (or any interest therein) will not give rise to a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA, Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code or result in a non-exempt violation of Similar Law.

(d) At any time when the Issuer is not subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and is not exempt from reporting pursuant to Rule 12g3-2(b) under the Exchange Act, upon the request of a Noteholder, the Issuer shall promptly furnish or cause to be furnished Rule 144A Information to such Noteholder, to a prospective purchaser of such Note designated by such Noteholder or to the Indenture Trustee for delivery to such Noteholder or a prospective purchaser designated by such Noteholder, as the case may be, in order to permit compliance by such Noteholder with Rule 144A in connection with the resale of a Note by such Noteholder.

(e) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, neither the Indenture Trustee nor the Note Registrar shall be responsible for ascertaining whether any transfer of the Notes complies with the registration provisions of or exemptions from the Securities Act, applicable state securities laws, ERISA (or, in the case of a governmental plan or a church plan (as described in ERISA Sections 3(32) and 3(33), respectively) any substantially similar federal, state or local law), the Internal Revenue Code or the Investment Company Act, but shall only be required to receive any transferee certification required pursuant to the terms of this Indenture with no duty whatsoever to confirm the accuracy of any of the information contained therein.

7

(f) If a Person is acquiring any Note or interest therein as a fiduciary or agent for one or more accounts, such Person shall be required to deliver to the Note Registrar (and the applicable Noteholder shall cause such fiduciary or agent to so deliver) a certification to the effect that it has (i) sole investment discretion with respect to each such account and (ii) full power to make the foregoing acknowledgments, representations, warranties, certifications and agreements with respect to each such account as set forth in this Section 2.04, which the Indenture Trustee shall have no duty to investigate or verify.

As of the August 8, 2017, the offices of the Note Registrar maintained for such purpose are located at the Corporate Trust Office of the Indenture Trustee.

(h) At the option of any Noteholder, its Notes may be exchanged for other Notes of authorized denominations and of a like aggregate denomination, upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at the offices of the Note Registrar maintained for such purpose. Whenever any Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the Issuer shall execute and the Indenture Trustee as authenticating agent, upon Issuer Order, shall authenticate and deliver the Notes which the Noteholder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

(i) Every Note presented or surrendered for transfer or exchange shall (if so required by the Note Registrar) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in the form satisfactory to the Note Registrar duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and the signature of the Holder shall be guaranteed by an “eligible guarantor institution” meeting the requirements of the Note Registrar, which include membership or participation in 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.

(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 of acceleration or otherwise, enforce any judgment obtained, and collect from the Issuer, the Trust Estate or Receivables Trust Estate and from any other obligor upon such Notes monies adjudged due;

(ii) sell, on a servicing released basis, Receivables, as shall constitute a part of the Trust Estate (or rights or interest therein) or Receivables Trust Estate, at one or more public or private sales called and conducted in any manner permitted by law;

26

(iii) direct the Issuer to exercise rights, remedies, powers, privileges or claims under the Servicing Agreement, the First Receivables Purchase Agreement, and the Second Receivables Purchase Agreement pursuant to Section 5.18 hereof; and

(iv) take any other appropriate action to protect and enforce the rights and remedies of the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders hereunder;

provided , however , that the Indenture Trustee may not exercise the remedy in subparagraph (ii) above or otherwise sell or liquidate the Trust Estate (including the Receivables Trust Estate) substantially as a whole (in one or more sales), or institute Proceedings in furtherance thereof, unless (A) the Holders of 100% of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Outstanding Notes direct such remedy, (B) the Indenture Trustee determines that the anticipated proceeds of such sale distributable to the Noteholders are sufficient to discharge in full all amounts then due and unpaid upon the Notes for principal and interest (after giving effect to the payment of any amounts that are senior in priority to such principal and interest) or (C) the Indenture Trustee determines (based on the information provided to it by the Servicer) that the Trust Estate may 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 is directed to take such remedy by the Holders of not less than 66 2/3% of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Outstanding Notes. In determining such sufficiency or insufficiency with respect to clauses (B) and (C), the Indenture Trustee may, but need not, obtain and rely upon an opinion of an Independent investment banking or accounting firm of national reputation as to the feasibility of such proposed action and as to the sufficiency of the Trust Estate for such purpose. The cost of such opinion shall be reimbursed to the Indenture Trustee from amounts held in the Collection Account in accordance with Section  8.06 .

The remedies provided in this Section  5.05(a) are the exclusive remedies provided to the Noteholders with respect to the Trust Estate (including the Receivables Trust Estate) and each of the Noteholders (by their acceptance of their respective interests in the Notes) and the Indenture Trustee, on behalf of the Noteholders, hereby expressly waive any other remedy that might have been available under the applicable UCC; provided, that the foregoing waiver shall not be construed as a waiver by the Indenture Trustee of any personal or individual rights it may have against the Issuer or with respect to the Trust Estate or Receivables Trust Estate.

(b) If the Indenture Trustee collects any money or property pursuant to this Article V following the acceleration of the maturities of the Notes pursuant to Section 5.03 (so long as such declaration shall not have been rescinded or annulled), it shall pay out the money or property in accordance with Section 8.06 hereof or, in the case of an acceleration as a result of an Event of Default described in clause (a) of Section 5.02 , as may otherwise be directed by a court of competent jurisdiction.

(c) Following the sale of the Receivables Trust Estate and the application of the proceeds of such sale and other amounts from sale of the Trust Estate or amounts, if any, then held in the Note Accounts in accordance with Section 8.06 hereof, any and all amounts remaining due on the Notes and all other Obligations shall be extinguished and shall not revive, the Notes shall be deemed cancelled, and the Notes shall no longer be Outstanding.

27

(d) The Indenture Trustee may fix a record date and Payment Date for any payment to Noteholders pursuant to this Section. At least fifteen (15) days before such record date, the Indenture Trustee shall transmit or make available to each Noteholder and the Issuer a notice that states the record date, the Payment Date and the amount to be paid.

It is the desire of the parties hereto and the Noteholders that there be at all times during which any Notes are Outstanding 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 (including the Receivables Trust Estate). In determining whether to maintain possession of the Trust Estate (including the Receivables Trust Estate), the Indenture Trustee may, but need not, obtain and rely upon an opinion of an Independent investment banking or accounting firm of national reputation as to the feasibility of any proposed action and as to the sufficiency of the Trust Estate and Receivables Trust Estate for such purpose. The cost of such opinion shall be reimbursed to the Indenture Trustee from amounts held in the Collection Account pursuant to Section  8.06 hereof.
