The Notes are to be issued pursuant to an Indenture dated as of June 28, 2023, between the Trust and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, a national banking association, as indenture trustee, substantially in the form of Exhibits “D”, “E”, “F” and “G” thereto. The Certificates are to be issued substantially in the form of Exhibit “A” to the Trust Agreement dated June 27, 2023, between Computershare Delaware Trust Company, as Owner Trustee, and JDRL, as Depositor. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Underwriting Agreement dated June 21, 2023 among JDRL, John Deere Capital Corporation, BofA Securities, Inc., Citigroup Global Markets Inc., MUFG Securities Americas Inc., and RBC Capital Markets, LLC, on their own behalf and as representatives of the underwriters named therein.
