EXPLANATORY NOTE

On October 16, 2024, SelectQuote, Inc. (the “Company”) filed a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Original Report”) disclosing, among other things, the Company’s entry into an asset-backed securities facility with respect to a portion of its commissions receivable and a related amendment to its senior secured credit facility (together, the “Transactions”). This Current Report on Form 8-K/A (this “Amendment”) is being filed by the Company to provide certain additional information relating to the Transactions, including the creation of a direct financial obligation through the Company’s entry into the indenture described herein. The information contained in this Amendment and the exhibits filed herewith are intended to supplement and not supersede or replace the disclosures set forth in the Original Report.

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

The disclosure in Item 2.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K/A is incorporated by reference under this Item 1.01.

Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

As previously reported in the Original Filing, on October 15, 2024, the Company and certain of its existing lenders (the “Purchasers”) entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (the “Note Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company issued two tranches of privately rated senior secured notes (the “Notes”) to the Purchasers for an aggregate purchase price of $100,000,000. The Notes are comprised of $60,000,000 of senior secured 7.80% Class A notes and $40,000,000 of senior secured 9.65% Class B Notes and are secured by a portion of the Company’s commissions receivable at an initial advance rate of 62%.

The Notes are governed by an Indenture, dated as of October 15, 2024 (the “Indenture”), with UMB Bank, N.A. as Indenture Trustee, and have a final legal maturity date of October 20, 2039. Interest will accrue from October 15, 2024 and will be payable monthly, with the first payment date commencing on October 20, 2024. The Notes will amortize based on a target loan-to-value calculation, and if any Notes remain outstanding after September 2028, then all available funds of the Issuer will be swept to pay down the Notes, leaving no distributions to equity. In addition, additional interest at 2.00% per annum will accrue and be payable on any Notes outstanding after September 2028, which additional interest will increase to 4.00% per annum in October 2030. Any redemption of Notes before the payment date in September 2027 will be subject to a “make-whole” premium, calculated using a discount rate of T+50 basis points.

The Indenture contains covenants that, among other things, limit the ability of the Issuer to: (i) sell, transfer, or dispose of assets without the consent of majority noteholders, (ii) create or permit liens over its assets (other than permitted liens) or (iii) incur indebtedness (other than permitted indebtedness). The Issuer must maintain separateness from its affiliates, including maintaining separate books and records, not commingling funds, and not conducting business on behalf of any other person. If an Event of Default (as defined in the Indenture) occurs and is continuing under the Indenture, the Indenture Trustee, at the direction of the Majority Noteholders (as defined in the Indenture), may declare all Notes immediately due and payable and institute proceedings to foreclose on the collateral.

The above description of the Notes and the Indenture does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Indenture and the Note Purchase Agreement, which are filed herewith as Exhibits 4.1 and 10.1, respectively, and incorporated by reference herein.

Article 1General. The Notes, together with the Indenture Trustee’s certificate of authentication, shall be in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit A to this Indenture, with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as are required or permitted by this Indenture, law or stock exchange rule, and may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such legends or endorsements placed thereon as may, consistently herewith, be determined by the officers of the Issuer executing such Notes, as evidenced by their execution of the Notes. Any portion of the text of any Note may be set forth on the reverse thereof, with an appropriate reference thereto on the face of the Note.
The Class A Notes and the Class B Notes, upon original issuance, shall be in the form of Global Notes.
    2


The terms of the Notes set forth in Exhibit A are part of the terms of this Indenture and the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby. However, to the extent any provision of any Note conflicts with the express provisions of this Indenture, the provisions of this Indenture, as amended or supplemented pursuant to the express terms hereof, shall govern and be controlling.
(a)Global Notes. Global Notes will be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (including the Global Note Legend thereon and the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note” attached thereto). Each Global Note will represent such of the outstanding Notes as will be specified therein and each shall provide that it represents the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as appropriate, to reflect exchanges, repurchases and redemptions. Any endorsement of a Global Note to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby will be made by the Indenture Trustee or the DTC Custodian, at the direction of the Indenture Trustee, in accordance with instructions given by the Holder thereof as required by Section 2.03 hereof.
(b)Definitive Notes. Definitive Notes will be substantially in the form of Exhibit A (but without the Global Note Legend thereon and without the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note” attached thereto). Definitive Notes shall be typewritten, printed, lithographed or engraved or produced by any combination of these methods (with or without steel engraved borders), all as determined by the officers of the Issuer executing such Notes, as evidenced by their execution of such Notes.
(c)Rule 144A Global Notes. Notes held by Qualified Institutional Buyers that may be offered and sold in reliance on Rule 144A may be issued in the form of one or more permanent Global Notes, which shall be deposited on behalf of the purchasers of the Notes represented thereby with the DTC Custodian and registered in the name of the Clearing Agency or the nominee of the Clearing Agency, duly executed by the Issuer and authenticated by the Indenture Trustee as hereinafter provided. The aggregate outstanding principal balance of each Rule 144A Global Note may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made as hereinafter provided and in accordance with the Applicable Procedures.
(d)Regulation S Global Notes. Notes held by non-U.S. persons that may be offered and sold in reliance on Regulation S may be issued initially in the form of the Regulation S Temporary Global Note, which shall be deposited on behalf of the purchasers of the Notes represented thereby with the DTC Custodian and registered in the name of the Clearing Agency or the nominee of the Clearing Agency for the accounts of designated agents holding on behalf of Euroclear or Clearstream, duly executed by the Issuer and authenticated by the Indenture Trustee as hereinafter provided. Until the 40th day after the later of the commencement of the offering of the Notes initially issued in the form of a Regulation S Temporary Global Note or the Closing Date of the offering of such Notes, interests in such Regulation S Temporary Global
    3


Note may be held only through Participants acting for and on behalf of Euroclear and Clearstream.
(e)The Restricted Period shall terminate on the last day thereof. Following the termination of the applicable Restricted Period, beneficial interests in the Regulation S Temporary Global Note shall be exchanged for beneficial interests in the Regulation S Permanent Global Note pursuant to the Applicable Procedures. If applicable, simultaneously with the authentication of the Regulation S Permanent Global Note, the Indenture Trustee shall cancel the Regulation S Temporary Global Note. The aggregate outstanding principal balance of each Regulation S Temporary Global Note or Regulation S Permanent Global Note may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made as hereinafter provided and in accordance with the Applicable Procedures.
(f)Temporary Notes. Until certificates representing Notes are ready for delivery, the Issuer may prepare and the Indenture Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes will be substantially in the form of certificated Notes but may have variations that the Issuer considers appropriate for temporary Notes and as may be reasonably acceptable to the Indenture Trustee. Without unreasonable delay, the Issuer shall prepare and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes. Holders of temporary Notes shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture.
Section 2.02    Execution, Authentication and Delivery. (a) The Notes shall be executed on behalf of the Issuer by at least one of its authorized officers. The signature of any such authorized officer on the Notes shall be manual.
(g)Notes bearing the manual signature of individuals who were authorized officers of the Issuer at the time they signed a Note shall bind the Issuer, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Notes or did not hold such offices at the date of such Notes.
(h)The Indenture Trustee shall upon receipt of a written order of the Issuer signed by one of its officers or directors (an “Authentication Order”) authenticate Notes for original issue on the date hereof the Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $60,000,000 Class A Notes and $40,000,000 Class B Notes. The aggregate principal amount of the Class A Notes and Class B Notes outstanding at any time may not exceed such amount, except as provided in Section 2.05.
(i)Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication. Except as otherwise described in this paragraph, (i) the Class A Notes and the Class B Notes shall be issuable in minimum denominations of $1,000 and in integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture or the Note Purchase Agreement, transfers of ownership or beneficial interests or participations in the Notes shall not be recognized if the result of such a transfer or participation is the creation of ownership or beneficial ownership of such Note in a principal amount that is less than the minimum denominations set forth in this Section 2.02(d).
    4


(j)No Note shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Note a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the Indenture Trustee by the manual signature of one of its authorized signatories, and such certificate upon any Note shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Note has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder.
Section 2.03    Transfer and Exchange of Notes.
(a)As of the date of this Indenture, the Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act and will not be listed on any exchange. No transfer of any Note or any interest therein (including, without limitation, by pledge or hypothecation) shall be made except in compliance with the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section 2.03 (including the applicable legends to be set forth on the face of each Note as provided in Section 2.03(i) and Section 2.03(b)(ii).)
(b)Each Holder of a Note (including any Beneficial Owner of a Global Note), by its acceptance of its beneficial interest in a Note, shall be deemed to have acknowledged, represented to and agreed with the Issuer as follows:
(i)It understands and acknowledges that such Notes have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act or any state or other applicable securities Law and that such Notes, or any interest or participation therein, may not be offered, sold, pledged or otherwise transferred unless registered pursuant to, or exempt from registration under, the Securities Act and any state or other applicable securities Law.
(ii)It acknowledges that the applicable legends set forth in Section 2.03(i) shall appear on the face of all Notes issued under this Indenture unless specifically stated otherwise in the applicable provisions of this Indenture or any supplemental indenture.
(iii)If it is acquiring any Notes, or any interest or participation therein, as a fiduciary or agent for one or more investor accounts, it has sole investment discretion with respect to each such account and that it has full power to make the acknowledgments, representations and agreements contained herein on behalf of each such account.
(iv)It is purchasing such Notes for its own account, or for one or more investor accounts for which it is acting as fiduciary or agent, in each case for investment, and not with a view to, or for offer or sale in connection with, any distribution thereof in violation of the Securities Act, subject to any requirements of Law that the disposition of its property or the property of such investor account or accounts be at all times within its or their control and subject to its or their ability to resell such Notes, or any interest or participation therein pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture.
(v)It acknowledges that the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee will rely on the truth and accuracy of the foregoing acknowledgments, representations and agreements,
    5


and agrees that if any of the foregoing acknowledgments, representations and agreements deemed to have been made by it are no longer accurate, it shall promptly notify the Issuer.
(vi)It acknowledges that transfers of the Notes or any interest or participation therein shall be subject in all respects to the restrictions applicable thereto contained in this Indenture.
(vii)Either (1) it is not and is not acquiring the Notes or any beneficial ownership interest therein directly or indirectly for, on behalf of, or with the assets of any Plan or (2) its acquisition, holding and subsequent disposition of the Notes or any beneficial ownership interest therein is permissible under applicable law, and will not constitute or result in any non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code by reason of the application of one or more Investor-Based Class Exemptions and/or the Statutory Exemption, all of the conditions of which shall be met, or breach of fiduciary duty under ERISA, or, if the Holder is subject to any Similar Law, such acquisition, holding and disposition will not constitute or result in a non-exempt violation of or breach of fiduciary duty under any Similar Law, and none of the Issuer, the Servicer, the Back-Up Servicer, the Indenture Trustee or any of their respective Affiliates is a fiduciary (within the meaning of Section 3(21) of ERISA), or falls within analogous status under any Similar Law, with respect to its acquisition or holding of the Notes, and will not otherwise result in any Tax, rescission right or other penalty on the Issuer or any of its Affiliates, and, in any case, neither the purchase nor holding of the Notes or any beneficial ownership interest therein will subject the Issuer or any of its Affiliates to any obligation not affirmatively undertaken in writing.
(viii)Any resale, pledge or other transfer of any of the Notes contrary to the restrictions set forth above and elsewhere in this Indenture shall be deemed void ab initio by the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee.
(ix)It is not a member of an “expanded group” (as defined in Treasury Regulations section 1.385-1(c)(4)) with respect to the Issuer or SelectQuote Insurance Services, and is not a “covered member” (as defined in Treasury Regulations section 1.385-1(c)(2)), except to the extent that the Issuer or its agents have provided such beneficial owner with an express waiver of this representation.
(x)If it is not a “United States person” (within the meaning of Code Section 7701(a)(30)), it is not acquiring any Note as part of a plan to reduce, avoid or evade U.S. federal income tax.
(xi)It agrees that it will not take any action that could cause, and will not omit to take any action, which omission would cause, the Issuer to become a publicly traded partnership or an association taxable as corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes; provided that for the purposes of this subclause (xi), such Holder and/or Beneficial Owner, as the case may be, shall be allowed to assume that any Note for which a
    6


Qualifying Debt Opinion was received are properly characterized as indebtedness for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
(c)Each Holder and beneficial owner of a Note, by acceptance of such Note or an interest in such Note, shall be deemed to understand and acknowledge that interest on the Notes will be treated as U.S. source interest and that the failure to provide the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Paying Agent or any other applicable withholding agent with the properly completed and signed applicable Tax certifications and documentation (including an IRS Form W-9 (or applicable successor form) or IRS Form W-8 (or applicable successor form), as the case may be) upon its purchase or acceptance of the Note (or beneficial interest therein) or upon its discovery that such information or documentation previously provided has become obsolete or incorrect, and from time to time thereafter upon request, may result in withholding from payments in respect of such Note, including U.S. Federal withholding or back-up withholding. The Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Paying Agent, or any applicable withholding agent may withhold such payments made to such Holder in accordance with applicable Law (without any corresponding gross up). If payment made to a Holder under this Indenture is subject to U.S. withholding Tax under FATCA, then such Holder that may be subject to such withholding shall deliver to the Issuer (or its authorized agent), the Indenture Trustee and the Paying Agent (or if the recipient fails to so deliver, the Issuer shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee and the Paying Agent any such withholding information, to the extent the Issuer shall have received such information) at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Issuer (or its authorized agent), the Indenture Trustee or the Paying Agent, documentation required by applicable law and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Issuer, Indenture Trustee or Paying Agent to determine their obligations under FATCA, to determine that such recipient has complied with such recipient’s obligations (including under FATCA), or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment and shall update any such information or documentation provided upon discovering that any such information or documentation previously provided has become obsolete or incorrect or is otherwise required.
(d)Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes. A Global Note may not be transferred except as a whole by the Clearing Agency to a nominee of the Clearing Agency, by a nominee of the Clearing Agency to the Clearing Agency or to another nominee of the Clearing Agency, or by the Clearing Agency or any such nominee to a successor Clearing Agency or a nominee of such successor Clearing Agency. All Global Notes will be exchanged by the Issuer for Definitive Notes if:
(i)the Issuer delivers to the Indenture Trustee notice from the Clearing Agency that it is unwilling or unable to continue to act as Clearing Agency or that it is no longer a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and, in either case, a successor Clearing Agency is not appointed by the Issuer within 90 days;
(ii)the Issuer, at its option but subject to the Clearing Agency’s rules, determines that the Global Notes (in whole but not in part) should be exchanged for Definitive Notes and deliver a written notice to such effect to the Indenture Trustee;
    7


provided, that in no event shall the Regulation S Temporary Global Note be exchanged by the Issuer for Definitive Notes prior to:
(A)the expiration of the Restricted Period; and
(B)the receipt by the Indenture Trustee and the Note Registrar of a certification of the beneficial owner thereof in the form of Exhibit F hereto stating that it is (x) a non-U.S. person (as such term is defined in Regulation S) or (y) a U.S. person who purchased such securities in a transaction that did not require registration under the Securities Act; or
(iii)there has occurred and is continuing a Default or Event of Default with respect to the Notes, and the Clearing Agency notifies the Indenture Trustee of its decision to exchange the Global Notes for Definitive Notes.
Upon the occurrence of any of the preceding events in (i), (ii) or (iii) above, Definitive Notes shall be issued in such names as the Clearing Agency shall instruct the Indenture Trustee in writing. Global Notes also may be exchanged or replaced, in whole or in part, as provided in Section 2.05. Every Note authenticated and delivered in exchange for, or in lieu of, a Global Note or any portion thereof, pursuant to this Section 2.03 or Section 2.05 hereof, shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global Note. A Global Note may not be exchanged for another Note other than as provided in this Section 2.03(d); however, beneficial interests in a Global Note may be transferred and exchanged as provided in Section 2.03(e) or (f) hereof.
(e)Transfer and Exchange of Beneficial Interests in the Global Notes. The transfer and exchange of beneficial interests in Notes in the form of Global Notes will be effected through the Clearing Agency, in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture and the Applicable Procedures. Beneficial interests in the Global Notes will be subject to restrictions on transfer comparable to those set forth herein to the extent required by the Securities Act. For the avoidance of doubt, none of the Indenture Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Note Registrar or the Securities Intermediary shall have any responsibility for, or involvement with, transfers of beneficial interests in Global Notes. Transfers of beneficial interests in the Global Notes will also require compliance with either subparagraph (i) or (ii) below, as applicable, as well as one or more of the other following subparagraphs, as applicable:
(i)Transfer of Beneficial Interests in the Same Global Note. Beneficial interests in any Global Note may be transferred to Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in the same Global Note in accordance with the transfer restrictions set forth in the Private Placement Legend; provided, that prior to the expiration of the Restricted Period, transfers of beneficial interests in a Regulation S Temporary Global Note may not be made to a U.S. Person or for the account or benefit of a U.S. Person other than to a “distributor” (as defined in Rule 902(d) of Regulation S) and other than pursuant to Rule 144A. No written orders or instructions shall be required to be delivered to the Note Registrar to effect the transfers described in this Section 2.03(e)(i).
    8


(ii)Transfers and Exchanges of Beneficial Interests in Global Notes. In connection with all transfers and exchanges of beneficial interests in Global Notes that are not subject to Section 2.03(e)(i) above, the transferor of such beneficial interest must deliver to the Note Registrar either:
(A)both:
1)    a written order from a Participant or an Indirect Participant given to the Clearing Agency in accordance with the Applicable Procedures directing the Clearing Agency to credit or cause to be credited a beneficial interest in another Global Note in an amount equal to the beneficial interest to be transferred or exchanged; and
2)    written instructions given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures containing information regarding the Participant account to be credited with such increase; or
(A)both:
1)    a written order from a Participant or an Indirect Participant given to the Clearing Agency in accordance with the Applicable Procedures directing the Clearing Agency to cause to be issued a Definitive Note in an amount equal to the beneficial interest to be transferred or exchanged; and
2)    written instructions given by the Clearing Agency containing information regarding the Person in whose name such Definitive Note shall be registered to effect the transfer or exchange referred to in (1) above;
provided, that in no event shall Definitive Notes be issued upon the transfer or exchange of beneficial interests in a Regulation S Temporary Global Note prior to (A) the expiration of the Restricted Period and (B) the receipt by the Indenture Trustee and the Note Registrar of a certification of the beneficial owner thereof stating that it is (i) a non-U.S. person (as such term is defined in Regulation S) or (ii) a U.S. person who purchased such securities in a transaction that did not require registration under the Securities Act.
Upon satisfaction of all of the requirements for transfer or exchange of beneficial interests in Global Notes contained in this Indenture and the Notes or otherwise applicable under the Securities Act, the Indenture Trustee shall adjust the principal amount of the relevant Global Note(s) pursuant to Section 2.03(j) hereof.
(i)Transfer of Beneficial Interests in a Global Note to Another Global Note. A beneficial interest in any Global Note may be transferred to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note if the
    9


transfer complies with the requirements of Section 2.03(d)(ii) hereof and the Note Registrar receives the following:
(A)if the transferee will take delivery in the form of a beneficial interest in a Rule 144A Global Note, a certificate in the form of Exhibit B hereto, including the certifications in item (1) of Section I thereof; or
(B)if the transferee will take delivery in the form of a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Global Note, a certificate in the form of Exhibit B hereto, including the certifications in item (2) of Section I thereof.

Section 2.11    Paying Agent to Hold Money for the Benefit of the Secured Parties. The Issuer will require each Paying Agent other than the Indenture Trustee to agree in writing that the Paying Agent (a) will hold for the benefit of Holders, the Indenture Trustee and the other Secured Parties all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal and interest on the Notes and other Secured Obligations; (b) will comply with all requirements of the Code and other applicable Tax Law (including FATCA, if applicable) with respect to the withholding from any payments made by it on any Notes of any applicable withholding Taxes imposed thereon and with respect to any applicable reporting requirements in connection therewith; and (c) will notify the Indenture Trustee of any default by the Issuer in making any such payment. While any such default continues, the Indenture Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Indenture Trustee.

The parties hereto, and each Noteholder, by its acceptance of a Note, further agree that they shall take no action inconsistent with the treatment described herein, except (i) as otherwise required by a final determination as defined in Section 1313 of the Code or (ii) in accordance with the results of any Permitted Tax Restructuring. The provisions of this Indenture shall be construed in furtherance of the foregoing intended tax treatment.
Section 2.13    CUSIPS. The Issuer shall obtain CUSIPs with respect to each class of Notes. The Indenture Trustee shall use such CUSIPs in notices of redemption as a convenience to Noteholders; provided, that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such CUSIPs either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Issuer shall promptly notify the Indenture Trustee and, to the extent any CUSIP with respect to the Notes is changed, each Noteholder, in writing of any change in such CUSIPs.

Upon the consummation of any such contribution or transfer of any Additional Collateral to Issuer that satisfies the applicable conditions set forth in this Section 2.14, such Additional Collateral shall be “Collateral” and “Commission Receivables” for all purposes hereunder and under the other Basic Documents.
    23

(d)The Issuer and each applicable Controlled Entity have established procedures and controls which they reasonably believe are adequate (and otherwise comply with applicable Law) to ensure that such parties are and will continue to be in compliance with all applicable U.S. Economic Sanctions Laws, Anti-Money Laundering Laws and Anti-Corruption Laws.

(i)declare the entire unpaid principal amount of the Notes, all interest accrued and unpaid thereon and all other amounts payable under this Indenture and the other Basic Documents to become immediately due and payable in accordance with Section 5.02;
(ii)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 Notes monies adjudged due;
(iii)institute Proceedings from time to time for the complete or partial foreclosure of this Indenture with respect to the Collateral;
(iv)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 Secured Parties including for the avoidance of doubt, the exercise of any remedies available under the Basic Documents; and
(v)sell the Collateral 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, that the Indenture Trustee will provide prior e-mail notice of such sale to the Rating Agencies then rating the Notes); provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee may not sell or otherwise liquidate the Collateral following an Event of Default, unless (A) 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 (B) the Indenture Trustee determines that the Collateral 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 immediately due and payable, and the Indenture Trustee obtains the written consent of the Noteholders holding one-hundred percent (100%) of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Notes. The Indenture Trustee shall give written notice of the retention of the Collateral to each Rating Agency then rating the Notes.
(b)If the Indenture Trustee collects any money or property pursuant to this Article 5, it shall within two (2) Business Days deposit such money or property to the Collection Account as Collections to be applied pursuant to Article 8 hereof.
    45


The Indenture Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Noteholders and to the other Secured Parties pursuant to this Section 5.04. At least fifteen (15) days before such record date, the Issuer shall mail by overnight mail to each Secured Party a notice that states the record date, the payment date and the amount to be paid.
The Indenture Trustee shall incur no liability as a result of any sale (whether public or private) of the Collateral or any part thereof pursuant to this Section 5.04 that is conducted in a commercially reasonably manner. Each of the Issuer and each of the Secured Parties hereby waives any claim against the Indenture Trustee arising by reason of the fact that the price at which the Collateral may have been sold at such sale (whether public or private) was less than the price that might have been obtained otherwise, even if the Indenture Trustee accepts the first offer received and does not offer the Collateral to more than one offeree, so long as such sale is conducted in a commercially reasonable manner. Each of the Issuer and each of the Secured Parties hereby agrees that in respect of any sale of the Collateral pursuant to the terms hereof, the Indenture Trustee is authorized to comply with any limitation or restriction in connection with such sale as it may be advised by counsel is necessary in order to avoid any violation of applicable Law, or in order to obtain any required approval of the sale or of the purchaser by any governmental authority or official, and the Issuer and the Noteholders further agree that such compliance shall not, in and of its self, result in such sale being considered or deemed not to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner, nor shall the Indenture Trustee be liable or accountable to the Issuer or any Noteholders for any discount allowed by reason of the fact that the Collateral or any part thereof is sold in compliance with any such limitation or restriction.
Section 5.05    Optional Preservation of the Assets. If the Notes have been declared to be immediately due and payable under Section 5.02 following an Event of Default and such declaration and its consequences have not been rescinded and annulled, the Indenture Trustee may, but need not, elect to maintain possession of the Collateral. In the event that the Indenture Trustee elects to maintain possession of the Collateral, the Indenture Trustee shall provide written notice of such election to the Rating Agencies then rating the Notes. It is the desire of the parties hereto and the Secured Parties 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 Collateral. In determining whether to maintain possession of the Collateral, the Indenture Trustee may, but need not, obtain (at the expense of the Issuer) 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 Collateral for such purpose.
Section 5.06    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:
(i)such Holder has previously given written notice to the Indenture Trustee of a continuing Event of Default;
    46


(ii)the Majority Noteholders have consented to or 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 the Indenture Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in complying with such request;
(iv)the Indenture Trustee for sixty (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 sixty (60) day period by the Majority Noteholders.
It is understood and intended that no one or more Holders of Notes shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Secured Party or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other Secured Party, or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided.
Section 5.07    Unconditional Rights of Noteholders to Receive Principal, Interest and Payments of Other Obligations. Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Indenture, (a) 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 (b) each Noteholder shall have the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such right shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.
Section 5.08    Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Indenture Trustee or any Noteholder has instituted any Proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such Proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or has been determined adversely to the Indenture Trustee or 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 such parties shall continue as though no such Proceeding had been instituted.
Section 5.09    Rights and Remedies Cumulative. No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Indenture Trustee 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.
    47


Section 5.10    Delay or Omission Not a Waiver. No delay or omission of the Indenture Trustee 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 5 or by Law to the Indenture Trustee or to the Noteholders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Indenture Trustee or by the Noteholders, as the case may be.
Section 5.11    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 Indenture Trustee with respect to the Notes or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Indenture Trustee; provided, that:
(i)such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of Law or with this Indenture;
(ii)such rights shall be subject to the express terms of Section 5.04(a)(v) and Section 5.17;
(iii)if the conditions set forth in Section 5.05 have been satisfied and the Indenture Trustee elects to retain the Collateral pursuant to such Section, then any written direction to the Indenture Trustee by Holders of Notes representing less than one-hundred percent (100%) of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Notes to sell or liquidate the Collateral shall be of no force and effect;
(iv)the Indenture Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Indenture Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction; and
(v)the Majority Noteholders have offered to the Indenture Trustee indemnity satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in complying with such direction.
Notwithstanding the rights of Noteholders set forth in this Section 5.11, subject to Section 6.01, the Indenture Trustee need not take any action that it determines might involve it in liability or might adversely affect the rights of any Noteholders not consenting to such action.
Section 5.12    Waiver of Past Defaults. Prior to the declaration of the acceleration of the maturity of the Notes as provided in Section 5.02, the Majority Noteholders may waive any past Default or Event of Default and its consequences except a Default or Event of Default (a) in payment of principal of or interest on any of the Notes, (b) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Note, or (c) occurring as a result of an event specified in Section 5.01(a)(vii) or (viii). 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 Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereto.
    48


Upon any such waiver, such Default or Event of Default shall cease to exist and be deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred, for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereto. The Indenture Trustee shall promptly give written notice of any such waiver to each Rating Agency then rating the Notes.
Section 5.13    Undertaking for Costs. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of a Note by such Holder’s acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Indenture Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Indenture Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and reasonable 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 5.13 shall not apply to (a) any suit instituted by the Indenture Trustee, (b) any suit instituted by the Majority Noteholders 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 5.14    Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. The Issuer covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist upon, or plead or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension Law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Issuer (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such Law, and covenants that it shall not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Indenture Trustee, but shall suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such Law had been enacted.
Section 5.15    Action on Notes. The Indenture Trustee’s right to seek and recover judgment on the Notes or under this Indenture shall not be affected by the seeking, obtaining or application of any other relief under or with respect to this Indenture. Neither the lien of this Indenture nor any rights or remedies of the Indenture Trustee, 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 Collateral or upon any of the assets of the Issuer. Any money or property collected by the Indenture Trustee shall be applied in accordance with Section 5.04(b).
Section 5.16    Performance and Enforcement of Certain Obligations.
(a)At the Servicer’s expense, the Issuer shall take all such lawful action as the Indenture Trustee, at the written direction of the Majority Noteholders, shall request to compel or secure the performance and observance by the Servicer of its obligations to the Issuer under or in connection with the Servicing Agreement or by the Sellers of their obligations under or in connection with the applicable Purchase Agreement, and/or to exercise any and all rights,
    49


remedies, powers and privileges lawfully available to the Issuer under or in connection with the Servicing Agreement and the Purchase Agreements to the extent and in the manner directed by the Indenture Trustee, at the written direction of the Majority Noteholders, including the transmission of notices of default under the Servicing Agreement on the part of the Servicer thereunder, claims for indemnification by the Issuer against the Sellers under the Purchase Agreements and the institution of legal or administrative actions or proceedings to compel or secure performance by the Servicer of its obligations under the Servicing Agreement and by the Sellers of their obligations under the Purchase Agreements.
(b)If an Event of Default of which a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee has received written notice has occurred and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee may, or at the written direction of the Majority Noteholders shall, exercise all rights, remedies, powers, privileges and/or claims of the Issuer against the Servicer under or in connection with the Servicing Agreement, or against the Sellers under or in connection with the Purchase Agreements, including the right or power to take any action to compel or secure performance or observance by the Servicer, of its obligations to the Issuer under the Servicing Agreement or by the Sellers, of their obligations to the Issuer under the Purchase Agreements, and to give any consent, request, notice, direction, approval, extension or waiver under the Servicing Agreement or the Purchase Agreements or the other Basic Documents, as the case may be, and any right of the Issuer to take such action shall be suspended.
Section 5.17    Purchase Rights of Class B Noteholders. During the continuance of an Event of Default of which a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee has received written notice, one or more of the Class B Noteholders or Affiliates of the Class B Noteholders (each, a “Class B Purchaser”) may elect to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Class A Notes, for a purchase price equal to the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Class A Notes, all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all other amounts due to the Class A Noteholders pursuant to this Agreement. Such right shall be exercised by giving the Indenture Trustee written notice of the intent to purchase the Class A Notes in the form of Exhibit E hereto (a “Class B Purchase Option Notice”) reflecting the date on which such purchase is to be consummated (the “Class B Purchase Date”), which shall be not less than ten (10) Business Days nor more than twenty (20) Business Days after the date of the Class B Purchase Option Notice. If a Class B Purchase Option Notice is delivered, the Majority Noteholders shall be stayed from exercising any remedies pursuant to Section 5.04 and from waiving any Defaults or Events of Default pursuant to Section 5.12. If there is more than one Class B Purchaser, the Class A Notes shall be allocated between or among the Class B Purchasers in proportion to the Outstanding Principal Balance of their Class B Notes or on such other basis as such Class B Noteholders may agree in writing (a copy of which written agreement shall be provided to the Indenture Trustee and the Paying Agent), and the Class B Purchase Date shall be the latest date specified in the Class B Purchase Option Notices delivered by such Class B Purchasers. The Indenture Trustee shall promptly make available a copy of each Class B Purchase Option Notice to the Noteholders and the Issuer. On the applicable Class B Purchase Date, the Class A Noteholders shall transfer the Class A Notes to the Class B Purchasers upon the tender to them (through the Indenture Trustee, or the Paying Agent on its behalf) of the purchase price described in this Section 5.17; provided, that, if any Class A Noteholder does not present its Class A Note for transfer, such Class A Note shall
    50


be deemed to have been converted into a right to payment of the foregoing purchase price, without interest, and the Class B Purchasers shall be treated as the Holders of such Class A Notes as and from such Class B Purchase Date. If any Class B Purchaser fails to consummate the purchase of the Class A Notes, such Class B Purchaser shall be deemed to have irrevocably waived its rights to purchase the Class A Notes, and, if there are multiple Class B Purchasers, the remaining Class B Purchasers must tender the purchase price allocable to the portion of the Class A Notes allocable to such defaulting Class B Purchaser, in such manner as they shall agree, or all such remaining Class B Purchasers shall be deemed to have cancelled the purchase of the Class A Notes pursuant to such Class B Purchase Option Notices. The non-defaulting Class B Purchasers may unanimously elect to defer the Class B Purchase Date by not more than three (3) Business Days for purposes of arranging such tender, which shall be effected upon delivery of written notice of such deferment to the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer. Any transfer of the Class A Notes pursuant to this Section 5.17 shall be subject to the other transfer restrictions and requirements for the Class A Notes set forth in this Agreement and such Class A Notes.
Article 6

(a)If an Event of Default of which a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee has actual knowledge of or has received written notice has occurred and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee shall exercise the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs.

(g)No provision of this Indenture shall require the Indenture Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds to believe that repayment of such funds or indemnity satisfactory to it against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it, and none of the provisions contained in this Indenture shall in any event require the Indenture Trustee to perform, or be responsible for the performance of, any of the obligations of the Servicer or the Back-Up Servicer under this Indenture or the Basic Documents.

(i)The Indenture Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any Material Event or breach of representation or warranty unless either (1) a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee shall have actual knowledge of such Default, Event of Default or breach of representation or warranty or (2) written notice of such Default, Event of Default or breach of representation or warranty shall have been received by a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.

(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.

(g)The Indenture Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or document (including electronic communications), unless requested in writing to do so by the Holders of Notes representing at least 25% of any class of Notes; provided, 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, the Indenture Trustee may require indemnity satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee in its reasonable discretion against such cost, expense or liability as a condition to taking any such action.
    53


(h)The right of the Indenture Trustee to perform any discretionary act enumerated in this Indenture or any other Basic Document to which it is a party shall not be construed as a duty or obligation, and the Indenture Trustee shall not be answerable under this Indenture or any other Basic Document to which it is a party for anything other than its gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of such act.
(i)The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Indenture Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Indenture Trustee or UMB Bank, National Association in each of their respective capacities hereunder (including Paying Agent, Securities Intermediary, Note Registrar and DTC Custodian), and each agent, custodian and other Person engaged by the Indenture Trustee to act hereunder.

(l)In no event shall the Indenture Trustee be liable for the failure to perform its duties hereunder if such failure is a direct or proximate result of another party’s failure to perform its obligations hereunder.
(m)As to any fact or matter the manner of ascertainment of which is not specifically described herein, the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to receive and may for all purposes hereof conclusively rely on a certificate, signed by a Responsible Officer of any duly authorized Person, as to such fact or matter, and such certificate shall constitute full protection to the Indenture Trustee for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith reliance thereon.
(n)Any Opinion of Counsel requested by the Indenture Trustee shall be an expense of the party requesting the Indenture Trustee to act or refrain from acting or otherwise shall be an expense of the Issuer.
    54


(o)The Indenture Trustee or its Affiliates are permitted to receive additional compensation that could be deemed to be in the Indenture Trustee’s economic self-interest for (i) serving as investment adviser, administrator, shareholder servicing agent, custodian or sub-custodian, (ii) using Affiliates to effect transactions in certain investments (if directed) and (iii) effecting transactions in certain investments (if directed). Such compensation shall not be considered an amount that is reimbursable or payable to the Indenture Trustee as part of the compensation hereunder.
(p)Neither the Indenture Trustee nor the Issuer shall be responsible for the acts or omissions of the other, it being understood that this Indenture shall not be construed to render them partners, joint venturers or agents (unless expressly set forth herein) of one another.
(q)The Indenture Trustee shall not have any obligation or liability to take any action or to refrain from taking any action hereunder that requires written direction in the absence of such written direction as provided hereunder.
(r)The Indenture Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or surety with respect to the execution of the trust created hereby or the powers granted hereunder.
(s)The Indenture Trustee may, from time to time, request that the Issuer deliver a certificate (upon which the Indenture Trustee may conclusively rely) setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture or any other Basic Document together with a specimen signature of such authorized officers; provided, however, that from time to time, the Issuer may, by delivering to the Indenture Trustee a revised certificate, change the information previously provided by it pursuant to this Section 6.02(s), but the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the then current certificate until receipt of a superseding certificate.
(t)Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Holders by the Indenture Trustee hereunder, the Indenture Trustee shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Holder with any information concerning the transaction contemplated hereby, the Issuer, the servicer or any other parties to any other Basic Document which may come into the possession of the Indenture Trustee or any of its officers, directors, employees, representatives or attorneys in fact.
(u)If at any time the Indenture Trustee is served with any arbitral, judicial or administrative order, judgment, award, decree, writ or other form of arbitral, judicial or administrative process which in any way affects this Indenture, the Notes, the Collateral or any part thereof or funds held by it (including, but not limited to, orders of attachment or garnishment or other forms of levies or injunctions), it shall be authorized to comply therewith in any manner as it or its legal counsel of its own choosing deems appropriate; and if the Indenture Trustee complies with any such arbitral, judicial or administrative order, judgment, award, decree, writ or other form of arbitral, judicial or administrative process, the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable to any of the parties hereto or to any other person or entity even though such order, judgment, award, decree, writ or process may be subsequently modified or vacated or otherwise determined to have been without legal force or effect.
    55


(v)The Indenture Trustee agrees to accept and act upon instructions or directions pursuant to this Indenture or the other Basic Documents sent by the authorized Person, as the case may be pursuant to the terms hereof, by unsecured e-mail, facsimile transmission or other similar unsecured electronic methods, provided that such authorized Person, as applicable, shall provide to the Indenture Trustee an incumbency certificate listing designated persons with the authority to provide such instructions, which incumbency certificate shall be amended whenever a person is to be added or deleted from the listing. If any such authorized Person, as the case may be, elects to give the Indenture Trustee e-mail or facsimile instructions (or instructions by a similar electronic method) and the Indenture Trustee in its discretion elects to act upon such instructions, the Indenture Trustee’s good faith understanding of such instructions shall be deemed controlling. The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from the Indenture Trustee’s reliance upon and compliance with such instructions notwithstanding that such instructions conflict, or are inconsistent, with a subsequent written instruction. In the event that the Indenture Trustee receives instructions with respect to a particular action or forbearance from action that a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee determines are inconsistent or conflict, then the Indenture Trustee shall notify the sender of such conflict or inconsistency. Each authorized Person instructing the Indenture Trustee agrees to assume all risks arising out of the use of such electronic methods to submit instructions and directions to the Indenture Trustee, including without limitation the risk of the Indenture Trustee acting on unauthorized instructions, and the risk of interception and misuse by third parties (other than as may result from the Indenture Trustee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct).
(w)With respect to any amendment of any Basic Document, the Indenture Trustee shall be protected in conclusively relying on an Officer’s Certificate of the Issuer stating that all conditions precedent to the effectiveness thereof have been satisfied.
Section 6.03    Individual Rights of Indenture Trustee. The Indenture Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Indenture Trustee.

Section 6.06    Reports by Indenture Trustee. The Indenture Trustee shall make available within a reasonable period of time after the end of each calendar year to each Noteholder such information furnished to the Indenture Trustee as may be required to enable such Holder to prepare its federal and state income Tax Returns. On or before each Payment Date, the Indenture Trustee shall post a copy of the statement or statements provided to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 8.10 hereof with respect to the applicable Payment Date on its internet website promptly following its receipt thereof (provided, that within five (5) Business Days of posting, the Indenture Trustee shall provide e-mail notice of such posting to the Rating Agencies then rating the Notes), for the benefit of the Noteholders, the Back-Up Servicer and Rating Agencies, and upon written request provide a copy thereof to the Back-Up Servicer and the Rating Agencies then rating the Notes. The Indenture Trustee shall post copies of the items provided to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 7.01 hereof and each Independent Actuarial Report provided pursuant to Section 8.05 hereof on its internet website promptly following its receipt thereof (provided, that within five (5) Business Days of posting, the Indenture Trustee shall provide e-mail notice of such posting), for the benefit of the Noteholders, the Back-Up Servicer and Rating Agencies then rating the Notes, and upon written request provide a copy thereof to each Noteholder, the Back-Up Servicer and the Rating Agencies then rating the Notes. The Indenture Trustee’s internet website shall initially be located at “www.debtx.com”. The Indenture Trustee may change the way the statements and information are posted or distributed in order to make such distribution more convenient and/or accessible for such Noteholders, the Back-Up Servicer or the applicable Rating Agencies and the Indenture Trustee shall provide on the website timely and adequate notification to all parties regarding any such change. As currently configured, the Indenture Trustee’s website will automatically issue an email notification to any Noteholder who has registered its email address with the Indenture Trustee of any posting of information to such website. Promptly after the applicable Closing Date, the Indenture Trustee will send by email a registration link for such website to each Noteholder with an email address listed on Schedule B to the Note Purchase Agreement at such email address. Each Noteholder shall be responsible for its own registration for such website and the Indenture Trustee shall not have any obligation to monitor any Noteholder’s registration status. The Indenture Trustee shall not have any liability in connection with its website failing to automatically deliver the email notifications referenced in this Section 6.06 absent gross negligence or willful misconduct on its part.
Section 6.07    Compensation and Indemnity. The Issuer shall pay to the Indenture Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation for its services as agreed between the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee in writing from time to time. 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 for all reasonable and documented 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 and documented compensation and expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee’s agents, counsel, accountants and experts; provided, that reimbursement for expenses and disbursements of any legal counsel to the Indenture Trustee may be subject to any limitations separately agreed upon in writing before the date hereof between the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee, if any. The Issuer shall indemnify the Indenture Trustee for, and hold it and its officers, directors, employees,
    57


representatives and agents harmless against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage or expense (including reasonable and documented legal and consulting fees and expenses and including, without limitation, any legal fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with any enforcement (including any action, claim or suit brought) by the Indenture Trustee of any indemnification or other obligation of the Issuer or the Servicer) incurred by it in connection with the administration of this Indenture and the performance of its duties hereunder. The Indenture Trustee shall, to the extent not prohibited by court order or other operation of law, notify the Issuer, the Back-Up Servicer and the Servicer promptly of any claim of which the Indenture Trustee has received written notice for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Indenture Trustee to so notify the Issuer and the Servicer shall not relieve the Issuer or the Servicer of its obligations hereunder. The Issuer shall, or shall cause the Servicer to, defend any such claim, and the Indenture Trustee may have separate counsel in connection with the defense of any such claim and the Issuer shall, or shall cause the Servicer to, pay the fees and expenses of such counsel. Neither the Issuer nor the Servicer need reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Indenture Trustee through the Indenture Trustee’s own willful misconduct or gross negligence.
The Issuer’s payment obligations to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section 6.07 shall survive the resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee and the discharge of this Indenture. When the Indenture Trustee incurs fees or expenses after the occurrence of a Default specified in Section 5.01(a)(vii) or (a)(viii) 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.
Section 6.08    Replacement of Indenture Trustee. No resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee and no appointment of a successor indenture trustee shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor indenture trustee pursuant to this Section 6.08. The Indenture Trustee may resign at any time with thirty days’ prior written notice by so notifying the Issuer (with a copy to each Rating Agency then rating the Notes, the Noteholders and the Back-Up Servicer). The Majority Noteholders may remove the Indenture Trustee with 30 days’ prior written notice by so notifying the Indenture Trustee, the Back-Up Servicer and the Issuer and may appoint a successor indenture trustee. The Issuer shall remove the Indenture Trustee if:
(i)the Indenture Trustee fails to comply with Section 6.11;
(ii)the Indenture Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent;
(iii)a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Indenture Trustee or its property; or
(iv)the Indenture Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting.
If the Indenture Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Indenture Trustee for any reason (the Indenture Trustee in such event being referred to herein as the retiring Indenture Trustee), the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor indenture trustee, acceptable to the Majority Noteholders, and shall notify the Back-Up Servicer and each Rating
    58


Agency then rating the Notes of such appointment; provided, that if a Material Event has occurred and is continuing, the Majority Noteholders shall appoint the successor indenture trustee.
A successor indenture trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Indenture Trustee, the Issuer, the Noteholders, the Back-Up Servicer. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Indenture Trustee shall become effective, and the successor indenture trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture. The successor indenture trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to Noteholders. The retiring Indenture Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Indenture Trustee to the successor indenture trustee.
If a successor indenture trustee does not take office within thirty (30) days after the retiring Indenture Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Indenture Trustee, the Issuer or the Majority Noteholders may, at the expense of the Issuer, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor indenture trustee.
If the Indenture Trustee fails to comply with Section 6.11, any Noteholder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Indenture Trustee and the appointment of a successor indenture trustee.
Notwithstanding the replacement of the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section 6.08, the Issuer’s and the Servicer’s obligations under Section 6.07 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Indenture Trustee.
Section 6.09    Successor Indenture Trustee by Merger. If the Indenture Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all its corporate trust business or assets to, another corporation or banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation or banking association without any further act shall be the successor to the Indenture Trustee; provided, that such corporation or banking association shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under Section 6.11. The Indenture Trustee shall provide the Issuer, the Back-Up Servicer and each Rating Agency then rating the Notes with written notice of any such transaction; provided, that failure to provide such notice shall not affect the validity of any such merger, conversion, consolidation or transfer.
In case at the time such successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation to the Indenture Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture any of the Notes shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Indenture Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor trustee and deliver such Notes so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Notes shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Indenture Trustee may authenticate such Notes either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor to the Indenture Trustee; and in all such cases such certificates shall have the full force as a certificate of the predecessor Indenture Trustee would have had.
    59


Section 6.10    Appointment of Co-Indenture Trustee or Separate Indenture Trustee.
(a)Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any Legal Requirement of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Collateral may at the time be located, the Indenture Trustee shall have the power and may execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons to act as a co-trustee or co-trustees, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Issuer, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the Noteholders, such title to the Collateral, or any part hereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 6.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Indenture Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 6.11 and no notice to Noteholders of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required under Section 6.08 hereof. The Indenture Trustee shall provide each Rating Agency then rating the Notes with prior written notice of any such appointment.
(b)Every separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by Law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and conditions:
(i)all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Indenture Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Indenture Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being understood that such separate trustee or co-trustee is not authorized to act separately without the Indenture Trustee joining in such act), except to the extent that under any Law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed the Indenture Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to the Collateral or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed singly by such separate trustee or co-trustee, but solely at the direction of the Indenture Trustee;
(ii)no trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder; and
(iii)the Indenture Trustee may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee.

Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Indenture and the conditions of this Article 6. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Indenture Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Indenture, specifically including every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Indenture Trustee. Every such instrument shall be filed with the Indenture Trustee.
    60


(d)Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time constitute the Indenture Trustee, its agent or attorney-in-fact with full power and authority, to the extent not prohibited by Law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this Indenture on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the Indenture Trustee, to the extent permitted by Law, without the appointment of a new or successor trustee.

(C)All property delivered to the Securities Intermediary pursuant to this Indenture will be promptly credited to the appropriate Issuer Account.
(D)Each item of property (whether investment property, Financial Asset, security, instrument or cash) credited to an Issuer Account, shall be treated as a “financial asset” within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(9) of the New York UCC.
(E)If at any time the Securities Intermediary shall receive any order from the Indenture Trustee directing transfer or redemption of any Financial Asset relating to the Issuer Accounts, the Securities Intermediary shall comply with such entitlement order without further consent by the Issuer, the Servicer or any other Person.
(F)The Issuer Accounts shall be governed by the Laws of the State of New York, regardless of any provision in any other agreement. For purposes of the UCC, New York shall be deemed to be the Securities Intermediary’s jurisdiction and the Issuer Accounts (as well as the securities entitlements (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(17) of the UCC) related thereto) shall be governed by the Laws of the State of New York.
(G)The Securities Intermediary has not entered into, and until the termination of this Indenture will not enter into, any agreement with any other person relating to the Issuer Accounts and/or any Financial Assets credited thereto pursuant to which it has agreed to comply with entitlement orders (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(8) of the New York UCC) of such other person and the Securities Intermediary has not entered into, and until the termination of this Indenture will not enter into, any agreement with the Issuer, the Servicer or the Indenture Trustee purporting to limit or condition the obligation of the Securities Intermediary to comply with entitlement orders as set forth in Section 8.02(c)(ii)(E) hereof.
(H)Except for the claims and interest of the Indenture Trustee and of the Issuer in the Issuer Accounts, the Securities Intermediary knows of no claim to, or interest in, the Issuer Accounts or in any Financial Asset credited thereto. If any other person asserts any lien, encumbrance or adverse claim (including any
    67


writ, garnishment, judgment, warrant of attachment, execution or similar process) against the Issuer Accounts or in any Financial Asset carried therein, the Securities Intermediary shall promptly notify the Indenture Trustee, each Rating Agency then rating the Notes, the Servicer and the Issuer thereof.
(I)The Securities Intermediary shall promptly send copies of all statements, confirmations and other correspondence concerning the Issuer Accounts and/or any Issuer Account Property simultaneously to each of the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee.
(J)The Securities Intermediary (A) shall be a corporation or national bank that in the ordinary course of its business maintains securities accounts for others and is acting in that capacity hereunder, (B) shall not be an Affiliate of the Issuer, (C) shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least U.S.$500,000,000 (D) shall be subject to supervision or examination by United States federal or state authority, (E) shall have a rating of at least “Baa1” or better by Moody’s, “A-” or better by S&P and “A-” or better by Fitch (if such entity is rated by Fitch) and (F) shall be an Eligible Institution.
(K)The Securities Intermediary shall treat the Indenture Trustee as entitled to exercise the rights that comprise each financial asset credited to any Issuer Account.
(L)The Securities Intermediary shall not change the name or the account number of any Issuer Account without the prior written consent of the Indenture Trustee (acting at the written direction of the Majority Noteholders).
(M)The Securities Intermediary shall not be a party to any agreement that is inconsistent with this Indenture, or that limits or conditions any of its obligations under this Indenture. The Securities Intermediary shall not take any action inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture applicable to it.
(N)Each item of property credited to each Issuer Account shall not be subject to, and the Securities Intermediary hereby waives, any security interest, lien, claim, encumbrance, or right of setoff in favor of the Securities Intermediary or anyone claiming through the Securities Intermediary (other than the Indenture Trustee).
(O)For purposes of Article 8 of the New York UCC, the jurisdiction of the Securities Intermediary with respect to the Collateral shall be the State of New York. The law of the State of New York shall govern all issues specified in Article 2(1) of the Hague Convention on the Law Applicable to Certain Rights in Respect of Securities Held with an Intermediary and, to the extent not so provided in any account agreement governing the Issuer Accounts established pursuant to this Section 8.02, such account agreement is hereby amended to so provide and it
    68


will not modify the law applicable to such issues or (so long as this Indenture is in effect) under such account agreement.
(P)It is the intent of the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer that each Issuer Account shall be a securities account on behalf of the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties and not an account of the Issuer.
(ii)The Servicer shall have the power to instruct the Paying Agent on behalf of the Indenture Trustee in writing to make withdrawals and payments from the Issuer Accounts for the purpose of permitting the Servicer to carry out its respective duties under the Servicing Agreement or hereunder or permitting the Indenture Trustee to carry out its duties under the Indenture; provided, that the Indenture Trustee shall have no responsibility for monitoring the Servicer’s duties and shall rely exclusively on such written direction to determine if a withdrawal or payment should be made.
Section 8.03    Collection of Money. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Indenture Trustee may demand payment or delivery of, and shall receive and collect, directly and without intervention or assistance of any fiscal agent or other intermediary, all money and other property payable to or receivable by the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Indenture. The Indenture Trustee shall apply all such money received by it as provided in this Indenture. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Indenture, if any default occurs in the making of any payment or performance under any agreement or instrument that is part of the Collateral, the Indenture Trustee may take such action as may be appropriate to enforce such payment or performance, including the institution and prosecution of appropriate Proceedings. Any such action shall be without prejudice to any right to claim a Default or Event of Default under this Indenture and any right to proceed thereafter as provided in Article 5.
Section 8.04    Management of the Issuer Accounts.
(a)Collection Account.
(i)Amounts on deposit in the Collection Account may be applied to pay Senior Expenses due and payable at any time (including on a date that is not a Payment Date), upon written direction (in the form of an Officer’s Certificate) of a Servicer; provided, that such amounts so withdrawn shall not exceed $200,000 in any calendar year (which amount, for the avoidance of doubt, is separate from any servicing fees payable pursuant to the Priority of Payments described herein). Each such request shall include (A) the Person to be paid, (B) the reason for such payment and (C) the amount of such payment. Upon receipt of a request in accordance with the preceding sentence, the Indenture Trustee or the Paying Agent shall remit payment for such Senior Expenses to the Servicer within five (5) Business Days.
(ii)Each Servicer shall be entitled to direct (via an Officer’s Certificate) the Paying Agent or the Indenture Trustee to withdraw, and upon receiving such direction, the Indenture Trustee or Paying Agent shall withdraw, from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account with respect to a Collection Period amounts previously deposited in
    69


the Collection Account but later determined by such Servicer (and verified in writing by the Back-Up Servicer) to have resulted from mistaken deposits or postings or checks returned for insufficient funds or that constituted payment of amounts that are not Commission Receivables. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Indenture Trustee and the Paying Agent shall be authorized to accept instructions (which shall be in writing) from the Servicers (and verified in writing by the Back-Up Servicer) on behalf of the Issuer on a daily basis regarding withdrawals or order transfers of funds from the Collection Account, to the extent such funds have been mistakenly deposited into the Collection Account (including without limitation funds representing amounts not part of the Commission Receivables). In the case of any withdrawal or transfer pursuant to the foregoing sentence, the applicable Servicer, on behalf of the Issuer, shall provide the Indenture Trustee, the Back-Up Servicer and the Paying Agent with written notice of such withdrawal or transfer, together with reasonable supporting details regarding such withdrawal or transfer and the mistaken deposit related thereto, on such date of withdrawal to be delivered by such Servicer, on behalf of the Issuer (or in such earlier written notice as may be required by the Indenture Trustee from such Servicer, on behalf of the Issuer, from time to time). Notwithstanding anything therein to the contrary, the Indenture Trustee and the Paying Agent shall be entitled to make withdrawals or order transfers of funds from the Collection Account, in the amount of all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Indenture Trustee or the Paying Agent in connection with any misdirected funds described in the second foregoing sentence.
(iii)Not later than the second Business Day after receiving a Split Commission Certificate from the applicable Servicer (that is verified in writing by the Back-Up Servicer), the Issuer shall direct the Paying Agent in writing, and the Paying Agent shall, to the extent that funds are available, withdraw from the Collection Account the Split Commissions Amount as set forth in such Split Commission Certificate and distribute such amounts to the Persons entitled to receive any such amount as set forth in such Split Commission Certificate.
Section 8.05    Independent Actuarial Reports.
(a)The Issuer shall be required to deliver, or to cause the Servicer to deliver, to the Indenture Trustee, the Back-Up Servicer and each Rating Agency then rating the Notes an updated Independent Actuarial Report by June 30 and December 31 of each calendar year, commencing with June 30, 2025 and, to the extent the Servicer obtains, in its sole discretion, an updated Independent Actuarial Report prior to either semi-annual report required hereunder, promptly following the date such report is obtained by the Servicer; provided, that if the Issuer must deliver an updated Independent Actuarial Report in accordance with Section 2.14 hereof, such updated Independent Actuarial Report may, with respect to Commission Receivables existing prior to the acquisition of Additional Collateral, be the same report as the most recently delivered Independent Actuarial Report, rolled forward by or under the supervision of the Chief Financial Officer (or similarly titled position) of the Servicer, and, to the extent the Issuer, or the Servicer on the Issuer’s behalf, in its discretion obtains an updated Independent Actuarial Report prior to any otherwise scheduled semi-annually updated Independent Actuarial Report, the
    70


Issuer, or the Servicer on the Issuer’s behalf, shall be required to deliver each such updated Independent Actuarial Report to such persons promptly upon its receipt thereof.
(b)The Issuer shall be required to deliver, or to cause the Servicer to deliver, to the Independent Actuarial Report provider, all data that such provider will require to update the Independent Actuarial Report by June 10 and December 10 of each calendar year, commencing with June, 2025.
(c)The Indenture Trustee shall promptly make any such Independent Actuarial Reports and other reports delivered pursuant to this Section 8.05 available to the Noteholders by posting any such Independent Actuarial Report or other reports delivered pursuant to this Section 8.05 to its internet website referenced in Section 6.06 hereof; provided, that subject to Section 6.06, within five (5) Business Days of posting, the Indenture Trustee shall give each Holder of the Notes and each Rating Agency then rating the Notes an e-mail notice of such posting.
(d)If the Independent Actuarial Report provider changes its methodology in a way that by itself causes the Asset Value and/or the Performance Adjustment Factor to decrease, then the Issuer and the Majority Noteholders shall in good faith discuss amendments to the definition of “Independent Actuarial Report,” “Asset Value,” “Performance Adjustment Factor” and any defined terms used therein in order to avoid such a decrease.
Section 8.06    Distributions.
(i)Except as otherwise provided in clause (ii) below, on each Payment Date, and, with respect to Optional Redemptions in part, on each Redemption Date, the Issuer, or any Servicer on the Issuer’s behalf, shall instruct the Paying Agent on behalf of the Indenture Trustee in writing (based solely on the information contained in the Payment Date Report delivered on the related Payment Determination Date pursuant to Section 8.10) to apply all Available Funds for payments of the following amounts in the following order of priority:

(b)The Indenture Trustee shall rely exclusively on an Officer’s Certificate of the Issuer and an Opinion of Counsel to determine whether any such action would require the consent of the Majority Noteholders or the consent of all of the Noteholders. The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for reliance on such Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel.
(c)It shall not be necessary for any Noteholder under this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but is shall be sufficient if such Noteholder (which, for purposes of this section (c) shall include any Beneficial Owner of a Global Note) shall approve the substance thereof.

Any failure of the Indenture Trustee to transmit such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture.
(e)Issuer shall not amend Section 8.06(a) of the Indenture to subordinate payment of the Back-Up Servicer Fee without the Back-Up Servicer's consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.
Section 9.03    Execution of Supplemental Indentures. In executing, or permitting the additional trusts created by, any supplemental indenture permitted by this Article 9 or the modification thereby of the trusts created by this Indenture, the Indenture Trustee shall be provided with and, subject to Sections 6.01 and 6.02, shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Officer’s Certificate of the Issuer stating that the execution of such supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and that all conditions precedent under this Indenture for the execution of the supplemental indenture have been complied with, and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such supplemental indenture (i) will not cause the Issuer to be treated as a publicly traded partnership or an association taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and (ii) will not cause any Notes outstanding immediately prior to such execution to undergo a “significant modification” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1001-3 that would adversely affect the characterization of the Notes as indebtedness for U.S. federal income tax purposes or cause one or more Holders of Notes to recognize income or gain. 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. The Indenture Trustee shall notify each Rating Agency then rating the Notes of the execution of any supplemental indentures. The Issuer shall
    81


provide the Back-Up Servicer with a copy of any amendment to the Basic Documents. In addition to the foregoing, neither this Indenture nor any other Basic Document may be amended, modified or waived without the Back-Up Servicer’s consent if such amendment, modification or waiver would increase the Back-Up Servicer’s duties, obligations or liabilities or adversely affect the Back-Up Servicer’s rights, remedies, indemnifications or immunities under this Indenture or any other Basic Document.
Section 9.04    Effect of Supplemental Indenture. Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions hereof, this Indenture shall be and shall 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 9.05    Reference in Notes to Supplemental Indentures. If the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee shall so determine, new Notes so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer, to any such supplemental indenture may be prepared and executed by the Issuer and authenticated and delivered by the Indenture Trustee in exchange for Outstanding Notes.

The Notes (i) may only be redeemed if, on such Redemption Date, there will be sufficient Available Funds to pay all amounts then due and payable (A) in respect of the Class A Notes, in accordance with Sections 8.06(i)(A) through (G) or Section 8.06(ii)(A) – (D), as applicable, and (B) in respect of the Class B Notes, in accordance with Sections 8.06(i)(A) through (J) or Section 8.06(ii)(A) – (E), as applicable and (ii) must be redeemed ratably, such that the relative proportions of Notes Outstanding after giving effect to such redemption remains unaffected by such redemption.
    82


Section 10.02    Form of Redemption Notice. Following receipt by the Indenture Trustee of the Issuer’s notice of redemption under Section 10.01, such notice of redemption shall be given by the Indenture Trustee by first-class mail, postage prepaid, emailed or, with respect to the Holders of Global Notes, delivered in any other manner compliant with DTC procedures, as applicable, not later than ten (10) days prior to the applicable Redemption Date to each Holder of Notes affected thereby, the Back-Up Servicer, as of the close of business on the Record Date preceding the applicable Redemption Date, at such Holder’s address appearing in the Note Register. The Indenture Trustee shall provide a copy of such notice to each Rating Agency then rating the Notes.
All notices of redemption shall state:
(a)the Redemption Date;
(b)the Optional Redemption Price;
(c)the principal amount of Notes being redeemed; and
(d)the place where such Notes are to be surrendered for payment of the Optional Redemption Price (which shall be the office or agency of the Issuer to be maintained as provided in Section 4.02).
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 10.03    Notes Payable on Redemption Date. The Notes or portions thereof to be redeemed shall, following notice of redemption as required by Section 10.02, on the Redemption Date become due and payable at the Optional Redemption Price and (unless the Issuer shall default in the payment of the Optional Redemption Price) no interest shall accrue on the Optional Redemption Price for any period after the date to which accrued interest is calculated for purposes of calculating the Optional Redemption Price. On or before such Redemption Date (but in any event no later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Redemption Date), Parent or Issuer shall cause the aggregate Optional Redemption Price to be deposited to the Collection Account, and such amount shall be paid in accordance with the Priority of Payments.

(iii)a statement as to whether, in the opinion of each such signatory, such condition or covenant has been complied with.
Section 12.02    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 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 such officer’s certificate or opinion is based are erroneous.

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 6.

Attn: [__]
Ladies and Gentlemen:
In connection with our proposed purchase of [] Class [A][B] Notes (the “Notes”) of SQ ABS Issuer, LLC (the “Issuer”), we confirm that:
1.We understand that the Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), and may not be sold except as permitted in the following sentence. We understand and agree, on our own behalf and on behalf of any accounts for which we are acting as hereinafter stated, (x) that such Notes are being offered only in a transaction not involving any public offering within the meaning of the 1933 Act and (y) that such Notes may be resold, pledged or transferred only (i) the Issuer, (ii) for so long as the Notes are eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A, to a person it reasonably believes is a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act that purchases for its own account or for the account of a Qualified Institutional Buyer to which notice is given that the transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A, (iii) pursuant to offers and sales to non-U.S. persons that occur outside the United States within the meaning of Regulation S under the Securities Act and in accordance with the laws applicable to it in the jurisdiction in which such purchase is made, or (iv) to an institution that is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a)(1),(2),(3), or (7) of Regulation D under the 1933 Act (an “Institutional Accredited Investor”) acting for its own account (and not for the account of others) or as a fiduciary or agent for others (which others also are Institutional Accredited Investors unless the holder is a bank acting in its fiduciary capacity) that executes a certificate substantially in the form hereof. We will notify any purchaser of the Notes from us of the above resale restrictions, if then applicable. We further understand that in connection with any transfer of the Notes by us that the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer may request, and if so requested we will furnish, such certificates and other information as they may reasonably require to confirm that any such transfer complies with the foregoing restrictions.
2.We are [CHECK ONE]:
[ ] a Qualified Institutional Buyer (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act);
[ ] a Non-U.S. person acquiring this Note in an offshore transaction within the meaning of Regulation S under the Securities Act; OR
[ ] an Institutional Accredited Investor acting for our own account (and not for the account of others) or as a fiduciary or agent for others (which others also are Institutional Accredited Investors unless we are a bank acting in its fiduciary

capacity) We have such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of our investment in the Notes, and we and any accounts for which we are acting are each able to bear the economic risk of our or their investment for an indefinite period of time. We are acquiring the Notes or investment and not with a view to, or for offer and sale in connection with, a public distribution.
3.Either (1) we are not and are not acquiring the Notes or any beneficial ownership interest therein directly or indirectly for, on behalf of, or with the assets of (i) an “employee benefit plan” as defined in Section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder from time to time in effect (“ERISA”), that is subject to Title I of ERISA, (ii) a “plan” described in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), that is subject to Section 4975 of the Code, (iii) employee benefit plans that are governmental plans within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA, (iv) certain church plans (as defined in Section 3(33) of ERISA), (v) non-U.S. plans (as described in Section 4(b)(4) of ERISA), (vi) any entity or account whose underlying assets are deemed to include “plan assets” (within the meaning of the Department of Labor Regulation located at 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101, as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA) or (vii) any plan, entity or account that is subject to any U.S. federal, state, non-U.S., or local Law that is similar to the provisions of Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (“Similar Law”) or (2) our acquisition, holding and subsequent disposition of the Notes or any beneficial ownership interest therein is permissible under applicable law, and will not constitute or result in any non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code by reason of the application of one of more of the following exemptions, all of the conditions of which shall be met: Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption (“PTCE”) 75-1, PTCE 84-14, PTCE 90-1, PTCE 91-38, PTCE 95-60, PTCE 96-23 or the exemption under Section 408(b)(17) of ERISA and Section 4975(d)(20) of the Code; or breach of fiduciary duty under ERISA, or, if we are subject to any Similar Law, such acquisition, holding and disposition will not constitute or result in a non-exempt violation of or breach of fiduciary duty under any Similar Law, and none of the Issuer, the Servicer, the Back-Up Servicer, the Indenture Trustee or any of their respective Affiliates is a “fiduciary” (within the meaning of Section 3(21) of ERISA), or falls within analogous status under Similar Law, with respect to our acquisition or holding of the Notes, and will not otherwise result in any tax, rescission right or other penalty on the Issuer or any of its Affiliates, and, in any case, neither our purchase nor holding of the Notes or any beneficial ownership interest therein will subject the Issuer or any of its Affiliates to any obligation not affirmatively undertaken in writing.
4.We understand that interest on the Notes will be treated as U.S. source interest and that the failure to provide the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or any Paying Agent with the properly completed and signed applicable Tax certifications and documentation (including an IRS Form W-9 (or applicable successor form) or IRS Form W-8 (or applicable successor form), as the case may be) upon our purchase or acceptance of the Note (or beneficial interest therein), or upon our discovery that such information or documentation previously provided has become obsolete or incorrect, and from time to time thereafter upon request, may result in withholding from payments in respect of such Note, including U.S. Federal withholding or back-up
    Exhibit C-2


withholding. The Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Paying Agent, or any applicable withholding agent may withhold such payments made to us in accordance with applicable Law (without any corresponding gross up). If payment made to us under the Indenture is subject to U.S. withholding Tax under FATCA, then we shall deliver to the Issuer (or its authorized agent), the Indenture Trustee and any Paying Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Issuer (or its authorized agent), the Indenture Trustee or a Paying Agent, documentation necessary for the Issuer, Indenture Trustee or Paying Agent to determine their obligations under FATCA and shall update any such information or documentation provided upon discovering that any such information or documentation previously provided has become obsolete or incorrect or is otherwise required.
5.[We are not a member of an “expanded group” (as defined in Treasury Regulations section 1.385-1(c)(4)) with respect to which the Issuer or SelectQuote Insurance Services, and is not a “covered member” (as defined in Treasury Regulations section 1.385-1(c)(2)), except to the extent that the Issuer or its agents have provided us with an express waiver of this representation.]
6.We will not take any action that could cause, and will not omit to take any action, which omission would cause, the Issuer to become a publicly traded partnership or an association taxable as corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes; provided that for the purposes of this paragraph 6, we shall be allowed to assume that any Notes for which a Qualifying Debt Opinion was received are properly characterized as indebtedness for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
7.If we are not a “United States person” (within the meaning of Code Section 7701(a)(30)), we are not acquiring any Note as part of a plan to reduce, avoid or evade U.S. federal income tax.
8.We understand that the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer and others will rely upon the truth and accuracy of the foregoing acknowledgments, representations and agreements, and we agree that if any of the acknowledgments, representations and warranties deemed to have been made by us by our purchase of the Notes, for our own account or for one or more accounts as to each of which we exercise sole investment discretion, are no longer accurate, we shall promptly notify the Issuer.
9.You are entitled to rely upon this letter and you are irrevocably authorized to produce this letter or a copy hereof to any interested party in any administrative or legal proceeding or official inquiry with respect to the matters covered hereby.

The Securitization Parties will deliver executed or true and correct copies of each amendment, waiver or consent effected pursuant to this Section 10 to each holder of a Note promptly following the date on which it is executed and delivered by, or receives the consent or approval of, the requisite holders of Notes.
(b)Consent in Contemplation of Transfer. Any consent given pursuant to this Section 10 by a holder of a Note that has transferred or has agreed to transfer its Note to (i) the Securitization Parties, (ii) any Securitization Party or any other Affiliate or (iii) any other Person in connection with, or in anticipation of, such other Person acquiring, making a tender offer for or merging with any Securitization Party and/or any of its Affiliates (either pursuant to a waiver under Section 10.1(c)), in each case in connection with such consent, shall be void and of no force or effect except solely as to such holder, and any amendments effected or waivers granted or to be effected or granted that would not have been or would not be so effected or granted but for such consent (and the consents of all other holders of Notes that were acquired under the same or similar conditions) shall be void and of no force or effect except solely as to such holder.
Section 10.3.Binding Effect, Etc.

No course of dealing between any Securitization Party and any holder of a Note and no delay in exercising any rights hereunder or under any Note or any other Basic Document shall operate as a waiver of any rights of any holder of such Note.

Each Securitization Party agrees and stipulates that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any such reproduction shall be admissible in evidence as the original itself in any judicial or administrative proceeding (whether or not the original is in existence and whether or not such reproduction was made by such Purchaser in the regular course of business) and any enlargement, facsimile or further reproduction of such reproduction shall likewise be admissible in evidence. This Section 12 shall not prohibit the Securitization Parties or any other holder of Notes from contesting any such reproduction to the same extent that it could contest the original, or from introducing evidence to demonstrate the inaccuracy of any such reproduction.
Section 13.CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.
For the purposes of this Section 13, “Confidential Information” means information delivered to any Purchaser or the Placement Agent by or on behalf of any Securitization Party or any Subsidiary in connection with the transactions contemplated by or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement that is proprietary in nature and that was clearly marked or labeled or otherwise
28



adequately identified when received by such Purchaser as being confidential information of such Securitization Party or such Subsidiary, provided that such term does not include information that (a) was publicly known or otherwise known to such Purchaser prior to the time of such disclosure, (b) subsequently becomes publicly known through no act or omission by such Purchaser or any Person acting on such Purchaser’s behalf, (c) otherwise becomes known to such Purchaser other than through disclosure by any Securitization Party or any Subsidiary or (d) constitutes financial statements delivered to such Purchaser under Section 5.5 hereof that are otherwise publicly available. Each Purchaser will maintain the confidentiality of such Confidential Information in accordance with procedures adopted by such Purchaser in good faith to protect confidential information of third parties delivered to such Purchaser, provided that such Purchaser may deliver or disclose Confidential Information to (i) its directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys, trustees and affiliates (to the extent such disclosure reasonably relates to the administration of the investment represented by its Notes), (ii) its auditors, financial advisors and other professional advisors who agree to hold confidential the Confidential Information substantially in accordance with this Section 13, (iii) any other holder of any Note, (iv) any Institutional Investor to which it sells or offers to sell such Note or any part thereof or any participation therein (if such Person has agreed in writing prior to its receipt of such Confidential Information to be bound by this Section 13), (v) any federal or state regulatory authority having jurisdiction over such Purchaser, (vi) the NAIC or the SVO or, in each case, any similar organization, or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about such Purchaser’s investment portfolio, or (vii) any other Person to which such delivery or disclosure may be necessary or appropriate (w) to effect compliance with any law, rule, regulation or order applicable to such Purchaser, (x) in response to any subpoena or other legal process, (y) in connection with any litigation to which such Purchaser is a party or (z) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to the extent such Purchaser may reasonably determine such delivery and disclosure to be necessary or appropriate in the enforcement or for the protection of the rights and remedies under such Purchaser’s Notes, this Agreement or any other Basic Document. Each holder of a Note, by its acceptance of a Note, will be deemed to have agreed to be bound by and to be entitled to the benefits of this Section 13 as though it were a party to this Agreement. The Securitization Parties and the Purchasers hereby agree that, on the Closing Date, any existing confidentiality agreements between the Securitization Parties and any Purchaser (or any of Affiliates, representatives or investment advisors of any Purchaser and their respective Affiliates and representatives) shall be terminated and the provisions of this Section 13 shall take the place thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, each Purchaser and the Placement Agent may, only after the Securitization Parties have made such information public, place customary advertisements in financial and other newspapers and periodicals or on a home page or similar place for dissemination of customary information on the internet or worldwide web, and circulate similar promotional materials, in each case, after the Closing Date in the form of a “tombstone” or otherwise describing the names of the Securitization Parties and their affiliates, and the amount, type and closing date of the Notes and the Contemplated Transactions, at its own expense; provided, however, that no such tombstone, promotional announcement or other marketing material will disclose the name of any Purchaser without such Purchaser’s prior written consent acting in its sole discretion.
29



In the event that as a condition to receiving access to information relating to the Securitization Parties or their Subsidiaries in connection with the transactions contemplated by or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement or the other Basic Documents, any Purchaser or holder of a Note is required to agree to a confidentiality undertaking (whether through IntraLinks, another secure website, a secure virtual workspace or otherwise) which is different from this Section 13, this Section 13 shall not be amended thereby and, as between such Purchaser or such holder and Securitization Parties, this Section 13 shall supersede any such other confidentiality undertaking.
Section 14.SUBSTITUTION OF PURCHASER.
Each Purchaser shall have the right to substitute any one of its affiliates, managed accounts, Related Funds or another Purchaser or any one of such other Purchaser’s affiliates, managed accounts or Related Funds (a “Substitute Purchaser”) as the purchaser of the Notes that it has agreed to purchase hereunder or as the holder of a Note that it has already purchased, by written notice to the Issuer, which notice shall be signed by both such Purchaser and such Substitute Purchaser, shall contain such Substitute Purchaser’s agreement to be bound by this Agreement and shall contain a confirmation by such Substitute Purchaser of the accuracy with respect to it of the representations set forth in Section 6 hereof. Upon receipt of such notice, any reference to such Purchaser in this Agreement (other than in this Section 14), shall be deemed to refer to such Substitute Purchaser in lieu of such original Purchaser. In the event that such Substitute Purchaser is so substituted as a Purchaser hereunder and such Substitute Purchaser thereafter transfers to such original Purchaser all of the Notes then held by such Substitute Purchaser, upon receipt by the Issuer of notice of such transfer, any reference to such Substitute Purchaser as a “Purchaser” in this Agreement (other than in this Section 14), shall no longer be deemed to refer to such Substitute Purchaser, but shall refer to such original Purchaser, and such original Purchaser shall again have all the rights of an original holder of the Notes under this Agreement.
Section 15.MISCELLANEOUS.
Section 15.1.Successors and Assigns. All covenants and other agreements contained in this Agreement by or on behalf of any of the parties hereto bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns (including any subsequent holder of a Note) whether so expressed or not, except that, subject to Section 10.2(b) hereof, the Securitization Parties may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder or under the Notes without the prior written consent of each holder. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the Placement Agent and the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.
Section 15.2.Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall (to the full extent permitted by law) not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
30



Section 15.3.Construction, Etc. Each covenant contained herein shall be construed (absent express provision to the contrary) as being independent of each other covenant contained herein, so that compliance with any one covenant shall not (absent such an express contrary provision) be deemed to excuse compliance with any other covenant. Where any provision herein refers to action to be taken by any Person, or which such Person is prohibited from taking, such provision shall be applicable whether such action is taken directly or indirectly by such Person.
Defined terms herein shall apply equally to the singular and plural forms of the terms defined. Whenever the context may require, any pronoun shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine and neuter forms. The words “include,” “includes” and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the phrase “without limitation.” The word “will” shall be construed to have the same meaning and effect as the word “shall.” Unless the context requires otherwise (a) any definition of or reference to any agreement, instrument or other document herein shall be construed as referring to such agreement, instrument or other document as from time to time amended, supplemented or otherwise modified (subject to any restrictions on such amendments, supplements or modifications set forth herein), (b) subject to Section 15.1 hereof, any reference herein to any Person shall be construed to include such Person’s successors and assigns, (c) the words “herein,” “hereof” and “hereunder,” and words of similar import, shall be construed to refer to this Agreement in its entirety and not to any particular provision hereof, (d) all references herein to Sections and Schedules shall be construed to refer to Sections of, and Schedules to, this Agreement, and (e) any reference to any law or regulation herein shall, unless otherwise specified, refer to such law or regulation as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time.
Section 15.4.Counterparts; Electronic Contracting. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts (including by facsimile and other electronic means of transmission), each of which shall be an original but all of which together shall constitute one instrument. Each counterpart may consist of a number of copies hereof, each signed by less than all, but together signed by all, of the parties hereto.
The parties agree to electronic contracting and signatures with respect to this Agreement and the other Basic Documents (other than the Notes). Delivery of an electronic signature to, or a signed copy of, this Agreement and such other Basic Documents (other than the Notes) by facsimile, email or other electronic transmission shall be fully binding on the parties to the same extent as the delivery of the signed originals and shall be admissible into evidence for all purposes. The words “execution,” “execute”, “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in or related to any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement and the other Basic Documents (other than the Notes) shall be deemed to include electronic signatures, the electronic matching of assignment terms and contract formations on electronic platforms approved by the Securitization Parties, or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws
31



based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Purchaser shall request manually signed counterpart signatures to any Basic Document, the Securitization Parties hereby agree to use their reasonable endeavors to provide such manually signed signature pages as soon as reasonably practicable (but in any event within thirty (30) days of such request or such longer period as the requesting Purchaser and the Securitization Parties may mutually agree).
The parties agree to electronic contracting and signatures with respect to each Note delivered hereunder in registered form. Delivery of an electronic signature to, or a signed copy of, any Note in the name of a particular Purchaser by facsimile, email or other electronic transmission shall be fully binding on the Issuer to the same extent as the delivery of the signed original of any such Note and shall be admissible into evidence for all purposes, and the Issuer hereby expressly waive any defense related to a Purchaser’s failure to present an original Note. The Issuer further agrees that it shall produce a manually signed Note for delivery to each Purchaser in accordance with the instructions provided by such Purchaser as soon as reasonably practicable (but in any event within five (5) Business Days of such request or such longer period as the requesting Purchaser and the Issuer may mutually agree).
Section 15.5.Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND THE RIGHTS OF THE PARTIES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK EXCLUDING CHOICE-OF-LAW PRINCIPLES OF THE LAW OF SUCH STATE THAT WOULD PERMIT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF A JURISDICTION OTHER THAN SUCH STATE.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Securitization Party irrevocably waives and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise, any claim that it is not subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court and any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.
(a)Each Securitization Party agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, that a final judgment in any suit, action or proceeding of the nature referred to in Section 15.6(a) hereof brought in any such court shall be conclusive and binding upon it subject to rights of appeal, as the case may be, and may be enforced in the courts of the United States of America or the State of New York (or any other courts to the jurisdiction of which it or any of its assets is or may be subject) by a suit upon such judgment.
(b)Each Securitization Party consents to process being served by or on behalf of any holder of Notes in any suit, action or proceeding of the nature referred to in Section 15.6(a) hereof by mailing a copy thereof by registered, certified, priority or express mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, return receipt or delivery confirmation
32



requested, to it at its address specified in Section 11 hereof or at such other address of which such holder shall then have been notified pursuant to said Section. Each Securitization Party agrees that such service upon receipt (i) shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon it in any such suit, action or proceeding and (ii) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be taken and held to be valid personal service upon and personal delivery to it. Notices hereunder shall be conclusively presumed received as evidenced by a delivery receipt furnished by the United States Postal Service or any reputable commercial delivery service.
(c)Nothing in this Section 15.6 shall affect the right of any holder of a Note to serve process in any manner permitted by law, or limit any right that the holders of any of the Notes may have to bring proceedings against the Securitization Parties in the courts of any appropriate jurisdiction or to enforce in any lawful manner a judgment obtained in one jurisdiction in any other jurisdiction.
(d)THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION BROUGHT ON OR WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTES OR ANY OTHER DOCUMENT EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THEREWITH.
Section 15.7.Placement Agent. In furtherance of (and in addition to) the representations and warranties made for the benefit of the Placement Agent in Section 6 hereof:
(a)Each Securitization Party and each Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that (i) each representation, warranty, agreement and assurance contained in this Agreement, each other Basic Document and any other document provided by any Purchaser to Securitization Party in connection with its purchase of any Notes, are for the benefit of, and have been and will be relied upon by, each of the Placement Agent and its affiliates, controlling persons (within the meaning of the U.S. federal securities laws), agents (collectively, the “Placement Agent Parties”), (ii) each Placement Agent Party shall be an express third-party beneficiary of this Agreement and shall be entitled to enforce its rights, remedies and claims hereunder directly against the other parties as though it were a signatory of this Agreement, but shall not be deemed to have, or to have assumed, any obligation or Liability hereunder, and (iii) copies of this Agreement and any information contained or otherwise referenced herein may be provided to the Placement Agent Parties.
(b)Each Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that each Placement Agent Party (or any of their respective affiliates) may currently or from time to time engage in business, directly or indirectly, with the Issuer and its affiliates, including, without limitation, extending loans to or making equity or other debt investments in, the Issuer or its affiliates, or providing investment banking or advisory services to the Issuer and its affiliates. Each Placement Agent Party (or any of their respective affiliates) may publish research reports with respect to the Issuer and its affiliates. These research reports may currently, or may in the future, contain negative views on the Issuer or its affiliates, may not recommend new investments in securities issued by the Issuer and its affiliates, and may recommend that investors sell securities of the Issuer and its affiliates held by them. No Placement Agent Party undertakes any obligation to, and no Placement Agent Party will, take into consideration any Purchaser’s interests as a holder of the Notes in the course
33



of its business dealings with the Issuer and its affiliates or in connection with the issuance of research reports.
(c)Each Purchaser further acknowledges and agrees that (i) an investment in the Notes may be of limited liquidity, no public market exists for the Notes and no public market for the Notes may develop, (ii) if any of the representations, warranties, acknowledgements and agreements made or deemed to have been made by such Purchaser’s purchase of the Notes is no longer materially accurate, such Purchaser shall promptly notify the Placement Agent, and (iii) if such Purchaser is acquiring the Notes as a fiduciary or agent for one or more accounts, such Purchaser represents and warrants that such Purchaser has sole investment discretion with respect to each such account and has full power to make the acknowledgements, representations, warranties, certifications and agreements contained in this Agreement on behalf of each such account.
