Promptly after execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Registrant will prepare and file with the Commission a final prospectus relating to the Publicly Offered Notes in accordance with the provisions of Rule 430D and Rule 424(b). Any information included in such prospectus that was omitted from such registration statement at the time it became effective but that is deemed to be part of and included in such registration statement pursuant to Rule 430D is referred to as “Rule 430D Information”. Such registration statement, at any given time, including the amendments thereto filed up to such time, the exhibits and any schedules

As filed, the Time of Sale Information includes all information with respect to the Publicly Offered Notes and the offering thereof required by the Securities Act and the Rules and Regulations with respect to a free writing prospectus and a preliminary prospectus and complies in all material respects with the Rules and Regulations. As filed, the Prospectus shall include all information with respect to the Publicly Offered Notes and the offering thereof required by the Securities Act and the Rules and Regulations, shall comply in all material respects with the Rules and Regulations and, except to the extent that the Underwriters shall agree in writing to a modification, shall be in all substantive respects in the form furnished to the Underwriters prior to the Execution Time or, to the extent not completed at the Execution Time, shall contain only such specific additional information and other changes (beyond that contained in the Time of Sale Information) as the Registrant has advised the Underwriters, prior to the Execution Time, will be included or made therein.

For purposes of this Agreement, “Applicable Time” shall have the meaning referred to in Section 2.A(vi) hereof. “Effective Time” means, with respect to the Registration Statement, the date and time as of which the Registration Statement, or the most recent post-effective amendment thereto, if any, was declared effective by the Commission, or, if later, the earlier of the date of filing of a prospectus required under Rule 424 deemed to be part of the Registration Statement or the date and time of the first sale of the Publicly Offered Notes and “Effective Date” means the date of the Effective Time. “Execution Time” shall mean the date and time that this Agreement is executed and delivered by the parties hereto. “Rule 405,” “Rule 415,” “Rule 424,” “Rule 430D,” “Rule 433” and “Regulation S-K” refer to such rules or regulations under the Securities Act. Any reference herein to the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include the documents incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 10 of Form SF-3 which were filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), on or before the Effective Date of the Registration Statement or the date of first use of a Free Writing Prospectus, the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, as the case may be; and any reference herein to the terms “amend,” “amendment” or “supplement” with respect to the Registration Statement, a Free Writing Prospectus, the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus

Section 9. Indemnification

A. Each of the Sponsor and the Seller agrees to severally and jointly indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, its directors, officers, employees, agents and each person, if any, who controls such Underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, from and against any and all loss, claim, damage or liability, joint or several, or any action in respect thereof (including, but not limited to, any loss, claim, damage, liability or action relating to purchases and sales of the Publicly Offered Notes), to which such Underwriter, director, officer, employee, agent or any such controlling person may become subject, under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises out of, or is based upon, (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement (including the 430D Information), the Preliminary Prospectus, each Free Writing Prospectus (other than any Derived Information (as defined below) included therein), any issuer free writing prospectus, the Prospectus, the related Intex CDI file, if any, (other than any Derived Information included therein) or any amendment, exhibit or supplement thereto (in each case, other than in the Underwriter Information) or the Form ABS-15G, (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state in the Registration Statement (including the 430D Information) (other than in the Underwriter Information) a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or (iii) the omission or alleged omission to state in the Preliminary Prospectus, each Free Writing Prospectus (other than any Derived Information included therein), any issuer free writing prospectus, the Prospectus, the related Intex CDI file, if any, (other than any Derived Information included therein) or any amendment, exhibit or supplement thereto (in each case, other than in the Underwriter Information) or the Form ABS-15G a material fact required to be stated or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and shall reimburse each Underwriter and any such director, officer, employee, agent and each such controlling person promptly upon demand for any documented legal or documented other expenses reasonably incurred by such Underwriter or any such director, officer, employee, agent or such controlling person in connection with investigating or defending or preparing to defend against any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred. For the avoidance of doubt, the Road Show Information (other than any Derived Information included therein) shall constitute an “issuer free writing prospectus”.

The foregoing indemnity agreement is in addition to any liability which the Sponsor or the Seller may otherwise have to the Underwriters or any controlling person of any of the Underwriters.

B. Each of the Underwriters agrees to severally and not jointly indemnify and hold harmless the Sponsor, the Seller, the directors and the officers of the Sponsor and the Seller who signed the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Sponsor or the Seller within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act against any and all loss, claim, damage or liability, or any action in respect thereof, to which the Sponsor, the Seller or any such director, officer or controlling person may become subject, under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises out of, or is based upon, (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact relating to such Underwriter contained in the Underwriter Information, or (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact relating to such Underwriter required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances

under which they were made, not misleading; and shall reimburse the Sponsor or the Seller, as applicable, promptly on demand, and any such director, officer or controlling person for any documented legal or other documented expenses reasonably incurred by the Sponsor, the Seller or any director, officer or controlling person in connection with investigating or defending or preparing to defend against any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred, except as expressly limited herein.

Except as otherwise expressly provided, the foregoing indemnity agreement is in addition to any liability which the Underwriters may otherwise have to the Sponsor, the Seller or any such director, officer or controlling person.

C. Promptly after receipt by any indemnified party under this Section 9 of notice of any claim or the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 9, promptly notify the indemnifying party in writing of the claim or the commencement of that action; provided, however, that the failure to notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have under this Section 9 except to the extent it has been materially prejudiced by such failure; and provided, further, that the failure to notify any indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 9.

If any such claim or action shall be brought against an indemnified party, and it shall notify the indemnifying party thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it wishes, jointly with any other similarly notified indemnifying party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, unless such indemnified party reasonably objects to such assumption on the ground that there may be legal defenses available to it which are different from or in addition to those available to such indemnifying party. Notwithstanding the foregoing the indemnifying party shall not be entitled to participate in, or assume the defense of, any such claim or action against an indemnified party brought by a governmental agency, regulatory authority or self-regulatory authority having or claiming to have jurisdiction over the business or financial affairs of such indemnified party or any of its affiliates, unless such indemnified party consents to such participation or assumption. After notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of such claim or action, except to the extent provided in the next following paragraph, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to the indemnified party under this Section 9 for any fees and expenses of counsel subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation.

Any indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless: (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the indemnifying party in writing; (ii) such indemnified party shall have been advised by such counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party and in the reasonable judgment of such counsel it is advisable for such indemnified party to employ separate counsel; or (iii) the indemnifying party has failed to assume the defense of such action and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, in which case, if such indemnified party notifies the indemnifying party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party, it being understood, however, the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any one such action or separate but substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to local counsel) at any time for all such indemnified parties, which firm shall be designated in writing by the Representatives, if the indemnified parties under this Section 9 consist of the Underwriters or any of their controlling persons, or by the Companies, if the indemnified parties under this Section 9 consist of

either of the Companies or any of the Companies’ directors, officers or controlling persons, but in either case reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party.

Each indemnified party, as a condition of the indemnity agreements contained in Sections 9.A and B, shall use its reasonable efforts to cooperate with the indemnifying party in the defense of any such action or claim. No indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any such action effected without its written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), but if settled with its written consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff in any such action, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. No indemnifying party shall, without prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened action in respect of which such indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party unless such settlement (i) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on any claims that are the subject matter of such action and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

D. Each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, covenants and agrees that it has not and will not distribute any Other Offering Document unless (i) it has notified the Companies of its intention to distribute such Other Offering Document prior to its distribution thereof and (ii) it provides the Companies with a copy of such Other Offering Document in an electronic format prior to or simultaneously with its initial distribution of such Other Offering Document. “Other Offering Document” means any “written communication” (as defined in Rule 405 of the Rules and Regulations) relating to the offer and sale of the Publicly Offered Notes that would constitute a “free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 405 of the Rules and Regulations), including but not limited to any “ABS information and computational materials” (as defined in Item 1101(a) of Regulation AB under the Securities Act); provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, written communication will include the Road Show Information and Intex CDI files only to the extent that they contain any Issuer Information that is not also included in the Preliminary Prospectus, but will exclude any such written communication that consists solely of postings that are initially made by any Underwriter on the Bloomberg system, or otherwise via e-mail and that contains only identifying information regarding the Trust and the Publicly Offered Notes; the expected closing date and first payment date for the Publicly Offered Notes; the expected principal amount, expected weighted average life, expected ratings, expected periods for payments of principal, expected final payment date, expected legal final payment date and expected interest rate index for each class of Publicly Offered Notes; preliminary guidance as to the interest rate and/or yield for each class of Publicly Offered Notes (but not final interest rate or yield information); information regarding the principal amount of the Publicly Offered Notes being offered by each Underwriter; other similar or related information such as expected pricing parameters, status of subscriptions and Underwriter’s retentions and ERISA eligibility; and/or any legends regarding the contents of such written communication.

E. (i) Each Underwriter agrees, assuming all Issuer Information (defined below) is accurate and complete in all material respects, to severally and not jointly indemnify and hold harmless the Sponsor, each of the Sponsor’s officers, directors and each person who controls the Sponsor within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Derived Information (as defined below) provided by such Underwriter, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and agrees to reimburse each such indemnified party for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by him, her or it in connection with

investigating or defending or preparing to defend any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that in no case shall any Underwriter be responsible for any amount in excess of the underwriting discount applicable to the Publicly Offered Notes purchased by such Underwriter; provided, further, that no Underwriter shall be liable to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any statement in or omission from any Derived Information in reliance upon and in conformity with (A) any written information furnished to the related Underwriter by the Sponsor or Seller expressly for use therein, which information was not corrected by information subsequently provided by the Sponsor or Seller to the related Underwriter prior to the time of use of such Derived Information, (B) information accurately extracted from any Preliminary Prospectus or Prospectus, which information was not corrected by information subsequently provided by the Sponsor or Seller to the related Underwriter prior to the time of use of such Derived Information or (C) Issuer Information (as defined in Section 9.F). The obligations of each of the Underwriters under this Section 9.E(i) shall be in addition to any liability which such Underwriter may otherwise have.

(ii) The Sponsor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, each of such Underwriter’s officers, directors, employees, agents and each person who controls such Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Issuer Information, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and agrees to reimburse each such indemnified party for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by him, her or it in connection with investigating or defending or preparing to defend any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred. The Sponsor’s obligation under this Section 9.E(ii) shall be in addition to any liability which they may otherwise have to the Underwriters.

The procedures set forth in Section 9.C shall be equally applicable to this Section 9.E.

F. For purposes of this Section 9, the term “Derived Information” means such information, if any, contained in any Other Offering Document that:

(i) is not contained in the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, taking into account information incorporated into the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus by reference; and

(ii) does not constitute Issuer Information.

“Issuer Information” means (i) any computer tape furnished to the Underwriters by the Sponsor or the Seller concerning the Receivables comprising the Trust (including any such information intended for use or incorporation in any Other Offering Document), (ii) the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus (in each case, other than in the Underwriter Information) and (iii) any other textual information (including, without limitation, the Road Show Information) furnished by the Companies to the Underwriters for inclusion in any Other Offering Document that constitutes “issuer information” (as defined in Rule 433(h)(2) of the Rules and Regulations and footnote 271 of the Securities Act Release No. 33-8591).

For the avoidance of doubt, “Derived Information” will include any information that would otherwise constitute Issuer Information but that was not accurately extracted or transcribed by any Underwriter for use or incorporation in any Other Offering Document.

G. [Reserved].

H. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 9 shall for any reason be unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under Section 9.A, 9.B or 9.E in respect of any loss, claim, damage or liability, or any action in respect thereof, referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, contribute severally and not jointly to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, (i) in such proportion as shall be appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Sponsor and the Seller on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other from the offering of the Publicly Offered Notes or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Sponsor and the Seller on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other with respect to the statements or omissions which resulted in such loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.

The relative benefits of the Underwriters, the Seller and the Sponsor shall be deemed to be in such proportion so that the Underwriters are responsible for that portion represented by the percentage that the underwriting discount appearing on the cover page of the Prospectus bears to the public offering price appearing on the cover page of the Prospectus.

The relative fault of the Underwriters, the Seller and the Sponsor shall be determined by reference to whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Sponsor, the Seller or by one of the Underwriters, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission and other equitable considerations.

The Sponsor, the Seller and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section 9.H were to be determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to herein. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, referred to above in this Section 9.H shall be deemed to include, for purposes of this Section 9.H, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim.

Each person, if any, who controls each Underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as each of the Underwriters and each director of the Sponsor and/or the Seller, each officer of the Sponsor and/or the Seller who signed the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Sponsor and/or the Seller within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Sponsor.

In no case shall any Underwriter be responsible for any amount under this Section 9.H, in excess of the underwriting discount applicable to the Publicly Offered Notes purchased by such Underwriter hereunder. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

I. The Underwriters severally and not jointly confirm that the Underwriter Information together with the Derived Information, is correct in all material respects and constitutes the only information furnished in writing to the Sponsor or the Seller by or on behalf of the Underwriters specifically for inclusion in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus.

Section 10. Default by One or More of the Underwriters. If one or more of the Underwriters participating in the public offering of the Publicly Offered Notes shall fail at the Closing Date to purchase the Publicly Offered Notes which it is obligated to purchase hereunder (the “Defaulted Securities”), then the non-defaulting Underwriters shall have the right, within 24 hours thereafter, to make arrangements to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Defaulted Securities in such amounts as may be agreed upon and upon the terms herein set forth. If, however, the Underwriters have not completed such arrangements within such 24-hour period, then:

(a) if the aggregate principal amount of Defaulted Securities does not exceed 10% of the aggregate principal amount of the Publicly Offered Notes to be purchased pursuant to this Agreement, the non-defaulting Underwriters shall be obligated, pro rata in the proportion shown in the attached Schedule I as to each non-defaulting Underwriter (“Pro Rata”) (unless the non-defaulting Underwriters agree among themselves to a different allocation) to purchase the full amount thereof, or

(b) if the aggregate principal amount of Defaulted Securities exceeds 10% of the aggregate principal amount of the Publicly Offered Notes to be purchased pursuant to this Agreement, (i) no non-defaulting Underwriters shall be required to purchase any Publicly Offered Notes which were to be purchased by the defaulting Underwriter, (ii) the non-defaulting Underwriters may elect to purchase the remaining amount Pro Rata (unless the non-defaulting Underwriters agree among themselves to a different allocation) provided that if the non-defaulting Underwriters have not agreed to purchase the entire aggregate principal amount of the Publicly Offered Notes, then this Agreement shall terminate, without any liability on the part of the non-defaulting Underwriters.

No action taken pursuant to this Section shall relieve the defaulting Underwriter from the liability with respect to any default of such Underwriter under this Agreement.

In the event of a default by any Underwriter as set forth in this Section, each of the Underwriters and the Seller shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date for a period not exceeding five (5) Business Days in order that any required changes in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected.

Section 11. Termination. This Agreement shall be subject to termination in the absolute discretion of the Representatives, by notice given to the Sponsor and the Seller prior to delivery of and payment for the Publicly Offered Notes if prior to such time (i) any change, or any development involving a prospective change, would have a material adverse effect on the general affairs, business, management, financial condition, stockholders’ equity, results of operations, regulatory situation or business prospects of the Trust, the Sponsor or the Seller which, in the reasonable judgment of the Representatives, materially impairs the investment quality of the Publicly Offered Notes or makes it impractical or inadvisable to market the Publicly Offered Notes; (ii) the Publicly Offered Notes have been placed on credit watch or review by either of the Engaged NRSROs with negative implications; (iii) trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange or the National Association of Securities Dealers National Market System shall have been suspended or limited, or minimum prices shall have been established on such exchange or market system; (iv) a banking moratorium shall have been declared by either federal or New York State authorities; (v) there shall have occurred any outbreak or material escalation of hostilities or other calamity or crisis or change in the financial markets, the effect of which is a material adverse effect on the practicality or advisability of proceeding with the completion of the sale and payment for the Publicly Offered Notes; or (vi) any material disruption in securities settlement, payment or clearance services shall have occurred in the United States. Upon such notice being given, the parties to this Agreement shall (except for any liability arising before or in relation to such termination) be released and discharged from their respective obligations under this Agreement.

Section 12. Representations, Warranties and Agreements to Survive Delivery. All representations, warranties and agreements contained in this Agreement or contained in certificates of officers of the Companies submitted pursuant hereto, shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Representatives or controlling person of the Representatives, or by or on behalf of the Companies or any officers, directors or controlling persons and shall survive delivery of any Publicly Offered Notes to the Representatives or any controlling person.

Section 13. Absence of Fiduciary Relationship. The Sponsor and the Seller acknowledge and agree that:

(a) The Underwriters have been retained solely to act as Underwriters in connection with the sale of the Publicly Offered Notes and that no fiduciary, advisory or agency relationship between the Sponsor and/or the Seller and the Underwriters has been created in respect of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, irrespective of whether the Underwriters have advised or are advising the Sponsor, the Seller and/or any of their respective affiliates on other matters;

(b) No Underwriter is advising the Sponsor, the Seller or any other person as to any legal, tax, investment, accounting or regulatory matters in any jurisdiction. The Sponsor and the Seller shall consult with their own advisors concerning such matters and shall be responsible for making their own independent investigation and appraisal of the transactions contemplated hereby, and no Underwriter shall have any responsibility or liability to the Sponsor or the Seller with respect thereto. Any review by any Underwriter of the Sponsor, the Seller, the transactions contemplated hereby or other matters relating to such transactions will be performed solely for the benefit of such Underwriter and shall not be on behalf of the Sponsor or the Seller;

(c) The price of the Publicly Offered Notes set forth in this Agreement was established by the Seller following discussions and arms-length negotiations with the Representatives and the Sponsor and the Seller are capable of evaluating and understanding, and understand and accept, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

(d) The Sponsor and the Seller have been advised that the Underwriters and their affiliates are engaged in a broad range of transactions which may involve interests that differ from those of the Sponsor and/or the Seller and that the Underwriters have no obligation to disclose such interests and transactions to the Sponsor and/or the Seller by virtue of any fiduciary, advisory or agency relationship; and

(e) Each of the Sponsor and the Seller waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims it may have against the Underwriters for breach of fiduciary duty or alleged breach of fiduciary duty and agrees that the Underwriters shall have no liability (whether direct or indirect) to the Sponsor or the Seller in respect of such a fiduciary duty claim or to any person asserting a fiduciary duty claim on behalf of or in right of the Sponsor or the Seller, including stockholders, employees or creditors of the Sponsor or the Seller.
