Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Noteholders signing such instrument or instruments.

(b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness to such execution or by the certificate of any notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Where such execution is by an officer of a corporation or a member of a partnership, on behalf of such corporation or partnership, such certificate or affidavit will also constitute sufficient proof of his authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the person executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner which the Indenture Trustee or the Note Registrar, as applicable, deems sufficient.

(d) If the Issuer will solicit from the Noteholders any action, the Issuer may, at its option, by an Officer’s Certificate, fix in advance a Record Date for the determination of Noteholders entitled to give such action, but the Issuer will have no obligation to do so. If the

Issuer does not so fix a Record Date, such Record Date will be the later of thirty (30) days before the first solicitation of such action or the date of the most recent list of Noteholders furnished to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 9.01 before such solicitation.

(a) Where this Indenture, any Indenture Supplement or any Registered Note provides for notice to Registered Noteholders of any event, such notice will be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein, in such Indenture Supplement or in such Registered Note expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, sent by electronic transmission or personally delivered to each Holder of Registered Note affected by such event, at such Noteholder’s address as it appears in the Note Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice. In any case where notice to Registered Noteholders is given by mail, electronic transmission or delivery neither the failure to mail, send by electronic transmission or deliver such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Noteholders will affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Noteholders and any notice that is mailed, sent by electronic transmission or delivered in the manner herein provided shall conclusively have been presumed to have been duly given.

-30-

Where this Indenture, any Indenture Supplement or any Registered Note provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver will be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Registered Noteholders will be filed with the Indenture Trustee, but such filing will not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.

(b) In case, by reason of the suspension of regular mail service as a result of a strike, work stoppage or otherwise, it will be impractical to mail notice of any event to any Holder of a Registered Note when such notice is required to be given pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, then any method of notification as will be satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee, the Note Registrar and the Issuer will be deemed to be a sufficient giving of such notice.

(c) With respect to any Tranche of Notes, the applicable Indenture Supplement may specify different or additional means of giving notice to the Holders of the Notes of such Tranche.

(d) Where this Indenture provides for notice to any Note Rating Agency, failure to give such notice will not affect any other rights or obligations created hereunder and will not under any circumstance constitute an Adverse Effect or a breach of a condition precedent to the related action, if any.

Section 1.07. Conflict with Trust Indenture Act. If and to the extent that any provision of this Indenture limits, qualifies or conflicts with the duties imposed by, or with another provision (an “incorporated provision”) included in this Indenture by operation of, sections 310 to 318, inclusive, of the Trust Indenture Act, such imposed duties or incorporated provision will control. If any provision of this Indenture modifies or excludes any provision of the Trust Indenture Act that may be so modified or excluded, the latter provision will be deemed to apply to this Indenture as so modified or excluded, as the case may be.

EACH PARTY HERETO SUBMITS AND CONSENTS IN ADVANCE TO SUCH JURISDICTION IN ANY ACTION OR SUIT COMMENCED IN ANY SUCH COURT, AND EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE BASED UPON LACK OF PERSONAL JURISDICTION, IMPROPER VENUE OR FORUM NON CONVENIENS AND HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE GRANTING OF SUCH LEGAL OR EQUITABLE RELIEF AS IS DEEMED APPROPRIATE BY SUCH COURT.

NOTHING IN THIS SECTION SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY HERETO TO SERVE LEGAL PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW.

(c) BECAUSE DISPUTES ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH COMPLEX FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS ARE MOST QUICKLY AND ECONOMICALLY RESOLVED BY AN EXPERIENCED AND EXPERT PERSON AND THE PARTIES WISH APPLICABLE STATE AND FEDERAL LAWS TO APPLY (RATHER THAN ARBITRATION RULES), THE PARTIES DESIRE THAT THEIR

-32-

DISPUTES BE RESOLVED BY A JUDGE APPLYING SUCH APPLICABLE LAWS. THEREFORE, TO ACHIEVE THE BEST COMBINATION OF THE BENEFITS OF THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM, THE PARTIES HERETO AND THE NOTEHOLDERS BY ACCEPTING THEIR INTEREST IN THE NOTES WAIVE ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH, RELATED TO, OR INCIDENTAL TO THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED AMONG THEM IN CONNECTION WITH THIS INDENTURE OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

Section 2.04. Notes Issuable in the Form of a Global Note.

(a) If the Issuer establishes pursuant to Sections 2.02 and 3.01 that the Notes of a particular Series, Class or Tranche are to be issued in whole or in part in the form of one or more Global Notes, then the Issuer will execute and the Note Registrar will, in accordance with Section 3.03 and the Issuer Certificate delivered to the Note Registrar thereunder, authenticate and deliver, such Global Note or Notes, which, unless otherwise provided in the applicable Indenture Supplement (i) will represent, and will be denominated in an amount equal to the aggregate Stated Principal Amount (or in the case of Discount Notes, the aggregate Stated Principal Amount at the Expected Principal Payment Date of such Notes) of the Outstanding Notes of such Series, Class or Tranche to be represented by such Global Note or Notes, or such portion thereof as the Issuer will specify in an Issuer Certificate, (ii) in the case of Registered Notes, will be registered in the name of the Depository for such Global Note or Notes or its nominee, (iii) will be delivered by the Note Registrar to the Depository or pursuant to the Depository’s instruction, (iv) if applicable, will bear a legend substantially to the following effect: “Unless this Note is presented by an authorized representative of The Depository Trust Company, a New York corporation (“DTC”), to the Issuer or its agent for registration of transfer, exchange or payment, and any note issued is registered in the name of Cede & Co. or in such other name as is requested by an authorized representative of DTC (and any payment is made to Cede & Co. or to such other entity as is requested by an authorized representative of DTC), any transfer, pledge or other use hereof for value or otherwise by or to any person is wrongful inasmuch as the registered owner hereof, Cede & Co., has an interest herein” and (v) may bear such other legend as the Issuer, upon advice of counsel, deems to be applicable.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 2.04 or of Section 3.05, and subject to the provisions of paragraph (c) below, unless the terms of a Global Note or the applicable Indenture Supplement expressly permit such Global Note to be exchanged in whole or in part for individual Definitive Notes, a Global Note may be transferred, in whole but not in part and in the manner provided in Section 3.05, only to a nominee of the Depository

-35-

for such Global Note, or to the Depository, or a successor Depository for such Global Note selected or approved by the Issuer, or to a nominee of such successor Depository.

(i) If at any time the Depository for a Global Note notifies the Issuer that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depository for such Global Note or if at any time the Depository for the Notes for such Series, Class or Tranche ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, or other applicable statute or regulation, the Issuer will appoint a successor Depository with respect to such Global Note. If a successor Depository for such Global Note is not appointed by the Issuer within ninety (90) days after the Issuer receives such notice or becomes aware of such ineligibility, the Issuer will execute, and the Note Registrar, upon receipt of an Issuer Certificate requesting the authentication and delivery of individual Notes of such Series, Class or Tranche in exchange for such Global Note, will authenticate and deliver, individual Definitive Notes of such Series, Class or Tranche of like tenor and terms in an aggregate Stated Principal Amount equal to the Stated Principal Amount of the Global Note in exchange for such Global Note.

(ii) The Issuer may at any time and in its sole discretion determine that the Notes of any Series, Class or Tranche or portion thereof issued or issuable in the form of one or more Global Notes will no longer be represented by such Global Note or Notes. In such event the Issuer will execute, and the Note Registrar, upon receipt of an Issuer Certificate for the authentication and delivery of individual Notes of such Series, Class or Tranche in exchange in whole or in part for such Global Note, will authenticate and deliver individual Definitive Notes of such Series, Class or Tranche of like tenor and terms in an aggregate Stated Principal Amount equal to the Stated Principal Amount of such Global Note or Notes representing such Series, Class or Tranche or portion thereof in exchange for such Global Note or Notes.

(iii) If specified by the Issuer pursuant to Sections 2.02 and 3.01 with respect to Notes issued or issuable in the form of a Global Note, the Depository for such Global Note may surrender such Global Note in exchange in whole or in part for individual Notes of such Series, Class or Tranche of like tenor and terms in Definitive Note form on such terms as are acceptable to the Issuer and such Depository. Thereupon the Issuer will execute, and the Note Registrar will authenticate and deliver, without service charge, (A) to each Person specified by such Depository a new Note or Notes of the same Series, Class or Tranche of like tenor and terms and of any authorized denomination as requested by such Person in aggregate Stated Principal Amount equal to and in exchange for such Person’s beneficial interest in the Global Note; and (B) to such Depository a new Global Note of like tenor and terms and in an authorized denomination equal to the difference, if any, between the Stated Principal Amount of the surrendered Global Note and the aggregate Stated Principal Amount of Notes delivered to the Holders thereof.

-36-

(iv) If any Event of Default has occurred with respect to such Global Notes, and Holders of Notes evidencing not less than 50% of the unpaid Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of the Global Notes of that Tranche advise the Indenture Trustee and the Depository that a Global Note is no longer in the best interest of the Noteholders, the Holders of Global Notes of that Tranche may exchange such Notes for individual Definitive Notes.

(v) In any exchange provided for in any of the preceding four paragraphs, the Issuer will execute and the Note Registrar will authenticate and deliver individual Definitive Notes in authorized denominations. Upon the exchange of the entire Stated Principal Amount of a Global Note for individual Definitive Notes, such Global Note will be canceled by the Note Registrar. Except as provided in the preceding paragraphs, Notes issued in exchange for a Global Note pursuant to this Section 2.04 will be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depository for such Global Note, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, will instruct the Note Registrar. The Note Registrar will deliver such Notes to the Persons in whose names such Notes are so registered.

Section 2.05. Temporary Global Notes and Permanent Global Notes.

(a) If specified in the applicable Indenture Supplement for any Tranche, all or any portion of a Global Note may initially be issued in the form of a single temporary global Registered Note (the “Temporary Global Note”), without interest coupons, in the denomination of the entire aggregate principal amount of such Tranche and substantially in the form set forth in the exhibit with respect thereto attached to the applicable Indenture Supplement. The Temporary Global Note will be authenticated by the Note Registrar upon the same conditions, in substantially the same manner and with the same effect as the Definitive Notes. The Temporary Global Note may be exchanged as described in the applicable Indenture Supplement for permanent global Registered Notes (the “Permanent Global Notes”).

(b) Upon any such exchange of all or a portion of the Temporary Global Note for a Permanent Global Note or Notes, such Temporary Global Note will be endorsed by or on behalf of the Note Registrar to reflect the reduction of its principal amount by an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such Permanent Global Note or Notes. Until so exchanged in full, such Temporary Global Note will in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as Permanent Global Notes authenticated and delivered hereunder except that the beneficial owners of such Temporary Global Note will not be entitled to receive payments of interests on the Notes until they have exchanged their beneficial interests in such Temporary Global Note for Permanent Global Notes.

Section 2.06. Beneficial Ownership of Global Notes. Until Definitive Notes have been issued to the applicable Noteholders pursuant to Section 2.04 or as otherwise specified in any applicable Indenture Supplement:

(a) the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Note Registrar may deal with the applicable clearing agency and the clearing agency’s participants for all purposes (including the making of distributions) as the authorized representatives of the respective Note Owners; and

-37-

(b) the rights of the respective Note Owners will be exercised only through the applicable clearing agency and the clearing agency’s participants and will be limited to those established by law and agreements between such Note Owners and the clearing agency and/or the clearing agency’s participants. Pursuant to the operating rules of the applicable clearing agency, unless and until Definitive Notes are issued pursuant to Section 2.04, the clearing agency will make book-entry transfers among the clearing agency’s participants and receive and transmit distributions of principal and interest on the related Notes to such clearing agency’s participants. Beneficial owners or clearing agency participants shall have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Note held on its behalf by a clearing agency, the Indenture Trustee or a custodian and the applicable clearing agency may be treated as the absolute owner of the Global Note for all purposes whatsoever.

For purposes of any provision of this Indenture requiring or permitting actions with the consent of, or at the direction of, Noteholders evidencing a specified percentage of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of Outstanding Notes, such direction or consent may be given by Note Owners (acting through the clearing agency and the clearing agency’s participants) owning interests in Notes evidencing the requisite percentage of principal amount of Notes.

Section 2.07. Notices to Depository. Whenever any notice or other communication is required to be given to Noteholders with respect to which book-entry Notes have been issued, unless and until Definitive Notes will have been issued to the related Note Owners, the Indenture Trustee and the Note Registrar as the case may be, will give all such notices and communications to the applicable Depository, in accordance with the operation rules of the applicable Depository.

(a) U.S. Bank Trust Co. is hereby appointed as the note registrar (in such capacity, the “Note Registrar”) to provide for the registration of Notes, and transfers and exchanges of Notes as provided herein. The Note Registrar shall keep a register (the “Note Register”) in which the Note Registrar shall maintain, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the registration of Registered Notes, or of Registered Notes of a particular Tranche and transfers of Registered Notes or of Registered Notes of such Tranche. In the course of maintaining the Note Register, the Note Registrar shall be acting as an agent of the Issuer (solely for the purposes expressly set forth herein). The Note Register shall be in written form or in any other form capable of being converted into written form within a reasonable time. At all reasonable times the information contained in such register or registers will be available for inspection by the Indenture Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Note Registrar as provided in Section 11.02.

(b) Subject to Section 2.04, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Registered Note of any Tranche at the office or agency of the Note Registrar maintained for such purpose, if the requirements of Section 8-401(a) of the UCC are met (which the Note Registrar shall have no duty to verify), the Issuer will execute, and, upon receipt of such surrendered Note, the Note Registrar will authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Registered Notes of such Tranche of any authorized denominations, of a like aggregate Stated Principal Amount, Expected Principal Payment Date and Legal Maturity Date and of like terms. As of the Closing Date, the offices of the Note Registrar maintained for such purpose are located at the Corporate Trust Office of the Note Registrar.

-43-

(c) Subject to Section 2.04, at the option of the Noteholder, Notes of any Tranche may be exchanged for other Notes of such Tranche of any authorized denominations, of a like aggregate Stated Principal Amount, Expected Principal Payment Date and Legal Maturity Date and of like terms, upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at the Corporate Trust Office of the Note Registrar. Whenever any Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the Issuer will execute, and the Note Registrar will authenticate and deliver, the Notes which the Noteholders making the exchange are entitled to receive.

(d) All Notes issued upon any transfer or exchange of Notes will be the valid and legally binding obligations of the Issuer, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Notes surrendered upon such transfer or exchange.

(e) Every Note presented or surrendered for transfer or exchange will (if so required by the Issuer, the Note Registrar or the Indenture Trustee) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Note Registrar duly executed, by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.

(f) Unless otherwise provided in the Note to be transferred or exchanged, no service charge will be made on any Noteholder for any transfer or exchange of Notes, but the Issuer or the Note Registrar may (unless otherwise provided in such Note) require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Notes, other than exchanges pursuant to Sections 3.04 or 10.06 not involving any transfer.

(g) None of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or the Note Registrar or any agent of the foregoing will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests of a Global Note or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests.

(h) The Issuer may at any time and from time to time authorize any Person to act as Note Registrar in place of U.S. Bank Trust Co. with respect to any Tranche of Notes issued under this Indenture.

(i) Registration of transfer of Notes containing the following legend or a legend the substance of which is not inconsistent with the following legend, or to which any such legend is applicable:

“THIS NOTE HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR ANY STATE BLUE SKY OR SECURITIES LAW. NEITHER THIS NOTE NOR ANY PORTION HEREOF MAY BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE REGISTRATION PROVISIONS UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE PROVISIONS OF ANY STATE BLUE SKY OR SECURITIES LAWS OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM SUCH REGISTRATION PROVISIONS. THE

-44-

TRANSFER OF THIS NOTE IS SUBJECT TO CERTAIN CONDITIONS SET FORTH IN THE INDENTURE REFERRED TO HEREIN.”

will be effected only if such transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, or is exempt from the registration requirements under the Securities Act. In the event that registration of a transfer is to be made in reliance upon an exemption from the registration requirements under the Securities Act other than Rule 144A under the Securities Act or Rule 903 or Rule 904 of Regulation S under the Securities Act, the transferor or the transferee will deliver, at its expense, to the Issuer, the Note Registrar and the Indenture Trustee, an investment letter from the transferee, substantially in the form of the investment letter attached hereto as Exhibit A or such other form as the Issuer may determine, and no registration of transfer will be made until such letter is so delivered.

Notes issued upon registration or transfer of, or Notes issued in exchange for, Notes bearing the legend referred to above will also bear such legend unless the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Note Registrar receive an Opinion of Counsel, satisfactory to each of them, to the effect that such legend may be removed.

Whenever a Note containing the legend referred to above is presented to the Note Registrar for registration of transfer, the Note Registrar will promptly seek instructions from the Issuer regarding such transfer and will be entitled to receive an Issuer Certificate prior to registering any such transfer. The Issuer hereby agrees to indemnify the Note Registrar and the Indenture Trustee and to hold each of them harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence or bad faith on their part arising out of or in connection with actions taken or omitted by them in relation to any such instructions furnished pursuant to this clause.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, except as set forth in an indenture supplement, neither the Indenture Trustee nor the Note Registrar shall be responsible for ascertaining whether any transfer complies with the registration provisions or exemptions from the Securities Act, applicable state securities laws, the Internal Revenue Code or the Investment Company Act.

Section 3.06. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Notes.

(a) If (i) either any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Note Registrar or the Issuer, the Note Registrar and the Indenture Trustee receive evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, and (ii) there is delivered to the Issuer, the Note Registrar and the Indenture Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Issuer, the Note Registrar or the Indenture Trustee that such Note has been acquired by a protected purchaser, the Issuer will execute and upon its request the Note Registrar will authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a new Note of like tenor, Series, Class or Tranche, Expected Principal Payment Date, Legal Maturity Date and Stated Principal Amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously Outstanding.

-45-

(b) In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note has become or is about to become due and payable, the Issuer in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Note, pay such Note.

(c) Upon the issuance of any new Note under this Section 3.06, the Issuer and the Note Registrar may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees, expenses and indemnities of the Note Registrar) connected therewith.

(d) Every new Note issued pursuant to this Section 3.06 in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Note will constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Issuer, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Note will be at any time enforceable by anyone, and will be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes of the same Series, Class or Tranche duly issued hereunder.

(e) The provisions of this Section 3.06 are exclusive and will preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes.

Section 3.07. Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved; Withholding Taxes.

(a) Unless otherwise provided with respect to such Note pursuant to Section 3.01, interest payable on any Registered Note will be paid to the Person in whose name that Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on the most recent Record Date.

(b) Subject to clause (a), each Note delivered under this Indenture upon transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Note will carry the rights to interest accrued or principal accreted and unpaid, and to accrue or accrete, which were carried by such other Note.

(c) The right of any Noteholder to receive interest on or principal of any Note shall be subject to any applicable withholding or deduction imposed pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code or other applicable tax law, including foreign withholding and deduction.

Section 7.02. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.

(a) If an Event of Default described in clause (a), (b), (c) or (e) (if the Event of Default under clause (c) or (e) is with respect to less than all Series, Classes and Tranches of Notes then Outstanding) of Section 7.01 occurs and is continuing with respect to any Series, Class or Tranche, then and in each and every such case, unless the principal of all the Notes of such Series, Class or Tranche shall have already become due and payable, either the Indenture Trustee or the Holders of not less than 66 2/3% in Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of the Notes of such Series, Class or Tranche then Outstanding hereunder (each such Series, Class or Tranche acting as a separate Class), by notice in writing to the Issuer (and the Indenture Trustee if given by such Holders), may declare, the Outstanding principal amount of all the Notes of such Series, Class or Tranche then Outstanding and all interest accrued or principal accreted and

-59-

unpaid (if any) thereon to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same will become and will be immediately due and payable, anything in this Indenture, the related Indenture Supplement or in the Notes of such Series, Class or Tranche to the contrary notwithstanding. Such payments are subject to Article V, Section 7.06 and the allocation, deposits and payment sections of the related Indenture Supplement.

(b) If an Event of Default described in clause (c) or (e) (if the Event of Default under clause (c) or (e) is with respect to all Series, Classes and Tranches of Notes then Outstanding) of Section 7.01 occurs and is continuing, then and in each and every such case, unless the principal of all the Notes shall have already become due and payable, either the Indenture Trustee or Holders of not less than 66 2/3% in Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of all the Notes then Outstanding hereunder (treated as one Class), by notice in writing to the Issuer (and the Indenture Trustee if given by such Holders), may declare the Outstanding principal amount of all the Notes then Outstanding and all interest accrued or principal accreted and unpaid (if any) thereon to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same will become and will be immediately due and payable, notwithstanding anything in this Indenture, the related Indenture Supplements or the Notes to the contrary.

(c) If an Event of Default described in clause (d) of Section 7.01 occurs and is continuing, then the Notes of all Series, Classes and Tranches will automatically be and become immediately due and payable by the Issuer, without notice or demand to any Person, and the Issuer will automatically and immediately be obligated to pay off the Notes.

At any time after such a declaration of acceleration has been made with respect to the Notes of any Series, Class or Tranche and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Indenture Trustee as hereinafter in this Article VII provided, the Majority Holders of such Series, Classes or Tranche, by written notice to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if:

(i) the Issuer has paid or deposited with the Indenture Trustee (or the Bank on its behalf) a sum sufficient to pay (i) all overdue installments of interest on the Notes of such Series, Class or Tranche, (ii) the principal of any Notes of such Series, Class or Tranche which have become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration, and interest thereon at the rate or rates prescribed therefor by the terms of the Notes of such Series, Class or Tranche, to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, (iii) interest upon overdue installments of interest at the rate or rates prescribed therefor by the terms of the Notes of such Series, Class or Tranche to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, and (iv) all sums paid by the Indenture Trustee, the Note Registrar and the Bank hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses, indemnities and disbursements of (x) the Indenture Trustee, its agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Indenture Trustee, the Note Registrar and the Bank under Section 8.07; and

(ii) all Events of Default with respect to such Series, Class or Tranche of Notes, other than the nonpayment of the principal of the Notes of such Series, Class or

-60-

Tranche which has become due solely by such acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 7.16.

No such rescission will affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 7.03. Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Indenture Trustee. The Issuer covenants that if:

(a) the Issuer defaults in the payment of interest on any Series, Class or Tranche of Notes when such interest becomes due and payable and such default continues for a period of thirty-five (35) days following the date on which such interest became due and payable, or

(b) the Issuer defaults in the payment of the principal of any Series, Class or Tranche of Notes at the Legal Maturity Date thereof;

and any such default continues beyond any specified grace period provided with respect to such Series, Class or Tranche of Notes, the Issuer will, upon demand of the Indenture Trustee, pay (subject to the allocation provided in Article V, this Article VII and any related Indenture Supplement) to the Indenture Trustee (or the Bank on its behalf), for the benefit of the Holders of any such Notes of the affected Series, Class or Tranche, the whole amount then due and payable on any such Notes for principal and interest, with interest, to the extent that payment of such interest will be legally enforceable, upon the overdue principal and upon overdue installments of interest, (i) in the case of Interest-bearing Notes, at the rate of interest applicable to the stated principal amount thereof, unless otherwise specified in the applicable Indenture Supplement; and (ii) in the case of Discount Notes, as specified in the applicable Indenture Supplement, and in addition thereto, will pay such further amount as will be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, indemnities, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee, the Note Registrar and the Bank and their agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Indenture Trustee, the Note Registrar and the Bank under Section 8.07.

If the Issuer fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Indenture Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce the same against the Issuer or any other obligor upon the Notes of such Series, Class or Tranche and collect the money adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the Collateral or any other obligor upon such Notes, wherever situated.

Section 7.04. Indenture Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to the Issuer or any other obligor upon the Notes or the property of the Issuer or of such other obligor or their creditors, the Indenture Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of the Notes will then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the

-61-

Indenture Trustee will have made any demand on the Issuer for the payment of overdue principal or interest) will be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceedings or otherwise,

(i) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Notes and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary and advisable in order to have the claims of the Indenture Trustee, the Note Registrar and the Bank (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, indemnities, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee, the Note Registrar and the Bank and their agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Indenture Trustee, the Note Registrar and the Bank under Section 8.07) and of the Noteholders allowed in such judicial proceeding, and

(ii) to collect and receive any funds or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator (or other similar official) in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Noteholder to make such payment to the Indenture Trustee and in the event that the Indenture Trustee will consent to the making of such payments directly to the Noteholders, to pay to (x) the Indenture Trustee, the Note Registrar and the Bank any amount due to them for the reasonable compensation, expenses, indemnities, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee, the Note Registrar and the Bank and their agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Indenture Trustee under Section 8.07.

Nothing herein contained will be deemed to authorize the Indenture Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Noteholder any plan or reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Indenture Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Noteholder in any such proceeding.

Section 7.05. Indenture Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Notes. All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Notes of any Series, Class or Tranche may be prosecuted and enforced by the Indenture Trustee without the possession of any of the Notes of such Series, Class or Tranche or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Indenture Trustee will be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment will, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee, its agent and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes of the Series, Class or Tranche in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.

Section 7.06. Application of Money Collected. Any money or other property collected by the Indenture Trustee with respect to a Series, Class or Tranche of Notes pursuant to this Article VII will be applied by the Indenture Trustee in the following order, at the date or dates and amounts fixed by the Indenture Trustee and, in case of the final distribution of such money on account of principal or interest, and upon surrender thereof if fully paid:

-62-

(b) second, to the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid upon the Notes of that Series, Class or Tranche for principal and interest, in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind (but subject to the allocation provided in Article V of this Indenture and the related Indenture Supplements), according to the amounts due and payable on such Notes for principal and interest, respectively; and

Section 7.07. Indenture Trustee May Elect to Hold the Collateral. Following an acceleration of any Series, Class or Tranche of Notes, the Indenture Trustee may elect to continue to hold the Collateral and apply distributions on the Collateral in accordance with the regular distribution provisions pursuant to Article V of this Indenture, except that principal will be paid on the accelerated Tranche of Notes to the extent funds are received from the Collateral and allocated to the accelerated Tranche, and payment is permitted by the subordination provisions of the accelerated Tranche.

Section 7.08. Sale of Receivables for Accelerated Notes. In the case of a Series, Class or Tranche of Notes that has been accelerated following an Event of Default, the Indenture Trustee may, and at the direction of Holders of not less than 66 2/3% in Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of that Series, Class or Tranche of Notes will, sell Principal Receivables and the related Finance Charge Receivables (or interests therein) as provided in the related Indenture Supplement.

Section 7.10. Limitation on Suits. Except with respect to any arbitration or mediation provided for under the dispute resolution provisions in Section 2.10 of the Transfer Agreement and Section 6.03 of the Receivables Purchase Agreement, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no Holder of any Note of any Series, Class or Tranche will have

-63-

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:

it being understood and intended that no one or more Holders of Notes of such Series, Class or Tranche will 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 Holders of Notes of such Series, Class or Tranche, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other such Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and proportionate benefit of all the Holders of all Notes of such Series, Class or Tranche.

Section 7.11. Unconditional Right of Noteholders to Receive Principal and Interest; Limited Recourse.

Section 7.12. 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

-64-

and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, then and in every such case the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders will, subject to any determination in such proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders will continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.

The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, will not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

Section 7.14. Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of the Indenture Trustee or of any Holder of any Note to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default will impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein.

(b) the Indenture Trustee may take any other action permitted hereunder deemed proper by the Indenture Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction.

Section 7.16. Waiver of Past Defaults. The Majority Holders of any Series, Class or Tranche may on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes of such Series, Class or Tranche waive any past default hereunder or under the related Indenture Supplement with respect to such Series, Class or Tranche and its consequences, except a default not theretofore cured:

-65-

(a) in the payment of the principal of or interest on any Note of such Series, Class or Tranche, or

(b) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article X cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Note of such Series, Class or Tranche.

Upon any such waiver, such default will cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom will be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver will extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 7.17. Undertaking for Costs. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Note by his acceptance thereof will 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 or the Note Registrar, as applicable, for any action taken or omitted by it as Indenture Trustee or the Note Registrar, as applicable, 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 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 7.17 will not apply to any suit instituted by the Indenture Trustee or the Note Registrar, as applicable, to any suit instituted by any Noteholder, or group of Noteholders, holding in the aggregate more than 25% in Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of the Outstanding Notes of any Series, Class or Tranche to which the suit relates, or to any suit instituted by any Noteholders for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of or interest on any Note on or after the applicable Legal Maturity Date expressed in such Note.

Section 7.18. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. The Issuer covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will 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, which 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 will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Indenture Trustee or Note Registrar, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

ARTICLE VIII

THE INDENTURE TRUSTEE AND NOTE REGISTRAR

Section 8.01. Certain Duties and Responsibilities.

(a) Each of the Indenture Trustee and the Note Registrar undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture with respect to the Notes of any Series, Class or Tranche, and no implied covenants or obligations will be read into this Indenture against the Indenture Trustee or the Note Registrar.

(b) In the absence of bad faith on its part, the Indenture Trustee may, with respect to Notes of any Series, Class or Tranche, conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Indenture Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; but in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee will be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of any mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein.

(c) In case an Event of Default with respect to any Series, Class or Tranche of Notes has occurred and is continuing, and a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee has actual knowledge or a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee shall have received written knowledge of such Event of Default, the Indenture Trustee will exercise with respect to the Notes of such Series, Class or Tranche such of 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.

(d) No provision of this Indenture will be construed to relieve the Indenture Trustee or the Note Registrar from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that:

(i) this clause (d) will not be construed to limit the effect of subsection (a) of this Section 8.01;

exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Indenture Trustee, under this Indenture with respect to the Notes of such Series, Class or Tranche; and

(iv) no provision of this Indenture will require the Indenture Trustee or Note Registrar to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it will have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or indemnity satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee or Note Registrar against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it;

(v) the Indenture Trustee shall not have any responsibility or liability for investment losses on Permitted Investments. The Indenture Trustee shall have no obligation, to invest or reinvest, or direct the investment or reinvestment by the Bank of, any funds credited to the Trust Accounts in the absence of timely and specific written investment direction from the Issuer.

Section 8.08. Disqualification; Conflicting Interests. If the Indenture Trustee has or will acquire a conflicting interest within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act, the Indenture Trustee will, if so required by the Trust Indenture Act, either eliminate such interest or resign, to the extent and in the manner provided by, and subject to the provisions of, the Trust Indenture Act and this Indenture. Nothing herein will prevent the Indenture Trustee from filing with the Commission the application referred to in the second to last paragraph of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act.

Section 8.09. Corporate Indenture Trustee Required; Eligibility. There will at all times be an Indenture Trustee hereunder with respect to each Series, Class or Tranche of Notes, which will be a corporation or national banking association organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any state, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital surplus, and undivided profits of at least $50,000,000, subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State authority, and at the time of appointment, shall have a long term senior, unsecured debt or issuer rating of “Baa3” or better by Moody’s, if rated by Moody’s, “BBB-” or better by S&P Global Ratings, if rated by S&P Global Ratings and “BBB” or better by Fitch, if rated by Fitch (or, if not rated by Moody’s, S&P Global Ratings or Fitch, a comparable rating by another statistical rating agency). If such corporation or national banking association publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 8.09, the combined capital surplus, and undivided profits of such corporation will be deemed to be its combined capital surplus, and undivided profits as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. The Issuer may not, nor may any Person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Issuer, serve as Indenture Trustee. If at any time the Indenture Trustee with respect to any Series, Class or Tranche of Notes will cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.09, it will resign within thirty (30) days in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article VIII. The Indenture Trustee shall not (a) offer or provide credit or credit enhancement to the Issuer and (b) be affiliated, as such term is defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act, with the Issuer at any time.

Section 8.10. Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor.

(a) No resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee and no appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Article VIII will become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Indenture Trustee under Section 8.11.

(b) The Indenture Trustee may resign with respect to any Series, Class or Tranche of Notes at any time by giving at least thirty (30) days’ written notice thereof to the Issuer (with a copy delivered to the Note Registrar). If an instrument of acceptance by a successor Indenture Trustee shall not have been delivered to the Indenture Trustee within sixty (60) days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Indenture Trustee, at the Issuer’s expense, may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee.

-73-

(c) The Indenture Trustee may be removed with (30) days’ written notice with respect to any Series, Class or Tranche of Notes at any time by Act of the Holders of not less than 66 2/3% in Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of all the Notes then Outstanding hereunder (treated as one Class), Class or Tranche, delivered to the Indenture Trustee and to the Issuer (with a copy delivered to the Note Registrar).

(d) If at any time:

(i) the Indenture Trustee fails to comply with Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act with respect to any Series, Class or Tranche of Notes after written request therefor by the Issuer or by any Noteholder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Note of that Series, Class or Tranche for at least six (6) months, or

(ii) the Indenture Trustee ceases to be eligible under Section 8.09 with respect to any Series, Class or Tranche of Notes and fails to resign after written request therefor by the Issuer or by any such Noteholder, or

(iii) the Indenture Trustee becomes incapable of acting with respect to any Series, Class or Tranche of Notes, or

(iv) the Indenture Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent or a receiver of the Indenture Trustee or of its property is appointed or any public officer takes charge or control of the Indenture Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation,

then, in any such case, (A) the Issuer may remove the Indenture Trustee, with respect to the Series, Class or Tranche, or in the case of clause (iv), with respect to all Series, Classes or Tranches, or (B) subject to Section 7.17, any Noteholder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Note of such Series, Class and Tranche for at least six (6) months may, on behalf of itself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Indenture Trustee with respect to such Series, Class or Tranche and the appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee with respect to the Series, Class or Tranche, or, in the case of clause (iv), with respect to all Series, Classes and Tranches.

(e) If the Indenture Trustee resigns, is removed or becomes incapable of acting with respect to any Series, Class or Tranche of Notes, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of the Indenture Trustee with respect to any Series, Class or Tranche of Notes for any cause, the Issuer will promptly appoint a successor Indenture Trustee for that Series, Class or Tranche of Notes. If, within one year after such resignation, removal or incapacity, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Indenture Trustee with respect to such Series, Class or Tranche of Notes is appointed by Act of the Majority Holders of such Series, Class or Tranche delivered to the Issuer and the retiring Indenture Trustee, the successor Indenture Trustee so appointed will, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment, become the successor Indenture Trustee with respect to such Series, Class or Tranche and supersede the successor Indenture Trustee appointed by the Issuer with respect to such Series, Class or Tranche. If no successor Indenture Trustee with respect to such Series, Class or Tranche shall have been so

-74-

appointed by the Issuer or the Noteholders of such Series, Class or Tranche and accepted appointment in the manner hereinafter provided, any Noteholder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Note of that Series, Class or Tranche for at least six (6) months may, on behalf of itself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee with respect to such Series, Class or Tranche.

(f) The Issuer will give written notice of each resignation and each removal of the Indenture Trustee with respect to any Series, Class or Tranche and each appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee with respect to any Series, Class or Tranche to each Noteholder as provided in Section 1.06 and to each Note Rating Agency. Each notice will include the name of the successor Indenture Trustee and the address of its principal Corporate Trust Office.

Section 8.11. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor. Every successor Indenture Trustee appointed hereunder will execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Issuer and to the predecessor Indenture Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, with a copy to the Note Rating Agencies, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor Indenture Trustee will become effective with respect to any Series, Class or Tranche as to which it is resigning or being removed as Indenture Trustee, and such successor Indenture Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, will become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the predecessor Indenture Trustee with respect to any such Series, Class or Tranche; but, on request of the Issuer or the successor Indenture Trustee, such predecessor Indenture Trustee will, upon payment of its reasonable charges, if any, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Indenture Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the predecessor Indenture Trustee, and will duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Indenture Trustee all property and money held by such predecessor Indenture Trustee hereunder with respect to all or any such Series, Class or Tranche, subject nevertheless to its Lien, if any, provided for in Section 8.07. Upon request of any such successor Indenture Trustee, the Issuer will execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Indenture Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts.

In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Indenture Trustee with respect to the Notes of one or more (but not all) Series, Classes or Tranches, the Issuer, the predecessor Indenture Trustee and each successor Indenture Trustee with respect to the Notes of any applicable Series, Class or Tranche will execute and deliver an Indenture Supplement which will contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the predecessor Indenture Trustee with respect to the Notes of any Series, Class or Tranche as to which the predecessor Indenture Trustee is not being succeeded will continue to be vested in the predecessor Indenture Trustee, and will add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Indenture Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such Indenture Supplement will constitute such Indenture Trustees co-trustees of the same trust and that each such Indenture Trustee will be Indenture Trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such Indenture Trustee.

No successor Indenture Trustee with respect to any Series, Class or Tranche of Notes will accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Indenture

-75-

Trustee will be qualified and eligible with respect to that Series, Class or Tranche under this Article VIII.

Section 8.12. Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business. Any corporation or national banking association into which the Indenture Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation or national banking association resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Indenture Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation or national banking association succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Indenture Trustee, will be the successor of the Indenture Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article VIII, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. The Issuer will give prompt written notice of such merger, conversion, consolidation or succession to the Note Rating Agencies. In case any Notes shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Indenture Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Indenture Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Notes so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Indenture Trustee had itself authenticated such Notes.

Section 8.13. Preferential Collection of Claims Against Issuer. If and when the Indenture Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Issuer (or any other obligor upon the Notes), the Indenture Trustee will be subject to the provisions of Section 311 of the Trust Indenture Act. An Indenture Trustee who has resigned or been removed will be subject to Section 311(a) of the Trust Indenture Act to the extent provided therein.

Section 8.14. Appointment of Authenticating Agent. At any time when any of the Notes remain Outstanding, the Indenture Trustee, with the approval of the Issuer, may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Authenticating Agents (which may include the Indenture Trustee) with respect to one or more Series, Classes or Tranches of Notes which will be authorized to act on behalf of the Indenture Trustee to authenticate Notes of such Series, Classes or Tranches issued upon exchange, registration of transfer or partial redemption thereof or pursuant to Section 3.06, and Notes so authenticated will be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and will be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Indenture Trustee hereunder. Upon the appointment of an Authenticating Agent pursuant to this Section 8.14, wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Notes by the Note Registrar or the Note Registrar’s certificate of authentication, such reference will be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Note Registrar by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Note Registrar by an Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent will be acceptable to the Issuer and will at all times be a corporation or national banking association organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to act as an Authenticating Agent, having a combined capital surplus, and undivided profits of not less than $50,000,000 and, if other than the Issuer itself, subject to supervision or examination by federal or State authority. If such Authenticating Agent publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 8.14, the combined capital surplus, and undivided profits of such Authenticating Agent will be deemed to be its combined capital surplus, and undivided profits as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If

-76-

at any time an Authenticating Agent will cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.14, such Authenticating Agent will resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section 8.14.

Any Person into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent will be a party, or any Person succeeding to the corporate agency or corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent, will continue to be an Authenticating Agent, provided such Person will be otherwise eligible under this Section 8.14, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Indenture Trustee or the Authenticating Agent.

An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Indenture Trustee and to the Issuer. The Indenture Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent and to the Issuer. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time such Authenticating Agent will cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.14, the Indenture Trustee, with the approval of the Issuer, may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent which will be acceptable to the Issuer and will give notice to each Noteholder as provided in Section 1.06. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder will become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent. No successor Authenticating Agent will be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section 8.14.

The Indenture Trustee agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent (other than an Authenticating Agent appointed at the request of the Issuer from time to time) reasonable compensation for its services under this Section 8.14, and the Indenture Trustee will be entitled to be reimbursed for such payments, subject to the provisions of Section 8.07.

If an appointment with respect to one or more Series, Classes or Tranches is made pursuant to this Section 8.14, the Notes of such Series, Classes or Tranche may have endorsed thereon, in addition to the Indenture Trustee’s certificate of authentication, an alternate certificate of authentication in the following form:

Each term used in this Section 8.17 and defined in the New York UCC shall have the meaning set forth in the New York UCC.

Section 8.18. Indenture Trustee’s Application for Instructions from the Issuer.

Section 9.01. Issuer To Furnish Indenture Trustee Names and Addresses of Noteholders. The Issuer will furnish or cause to be furnished to the Indenture Trustee and the Note Registrar at such times as the Indenture Trustee and the Note Registrar, as applicable, may request in writing, within thirty (30) days after the receipt by the Issuer of any such request, a list of the names and addresses of the Registered Noteholders of such Series, Classes or Tranches as of such date; provided, however, that in the event the Indenture Trustee is the Note Registrar, no such list shall be required to be furnished.

Section 9.02. Preservation of Information; Communications to Noteholders.

(a) The Note Registrar will preserve, in as current a form as is reasonably practicable, the names and addresses of Registered Noteholders contained in the most recent list furnished to the Note Registrar as provided in Section 9.01 and the names and addresses of Registered Noteholders received by the Note Registrar in its capacity as Note Registrar. The Note Registrar may destroy any list furnished to it pursuant to Section 9.01 upon receipt of a new list so furnished.

(b) If three (3) or more Holders of Notes of any Series, Class or Tranche (hereinafter referred to as “applicants”) apply in writing to the Note Registrar and/or the Indenture Trustee, and furnish to the Note Registrar and/or the Indenture Trustee, as the case may be, reasonable proof that each such applicant has owned a Note of such Series, Class or Tranche for a period of at least six (6) months preceding the date of such application, and such

-80-

application states that the applicants desire to communicate with other Holders of Notes of such Series, Class or Tranche or with the Holders of all Notes with respect to their rights under this Indenture or under such Notes and is accompanied by a copy of the form of proxy or other communication which such applicants propose to transmit, then the Note Registrar and/or the Indenture Trustee, as the case may be, will, within five (5) Business Days after the receipt of such application, at its election, either

(i) afford such applicants access to the information preserved at the time by the Note Registrar in accordance with subsection 9.02(a), or

(ii) inform such applicants as to the approximate number of Holders of Notes of such Series, Class or Tranche or all Notes, as the case may be, whose names and addresses appear in the information preserved at the time by the Note Registrar in accordance with subsection 9.02(a), and as to the approximate cost of mailing to such Noteholders the form of proxy or other communication, if any, specified in such application.

If the Note Registrar and/or the Indenture Trustee, as the case may be, shall elect not to afford such applicants access to such information, the Note Registrar and/or the Indenture Trustee, as the case may be, shall, upon the written request of such applicants, mail to each Holder of a Registered Note of such Series, Class or Tranche or to all Registered Noteholders, as the case may be, whose names and addresses appear in the information preserved at the time by the Note Registrar and/or the Indenture Trustee, as the case may be, in accordance with subsection 9.02(a), a copy of the form of proxy or other communication which is specified in such request, with reasonable promptness after a tender to the Note Registrar and/or the Indenture Trustee, as the case may be, of the material to be mailed and of payment, or provision for the payment, of the reasonable expenses of mailing, unless, within five (5) days after such tender, the Note Registrar and/or the Indenture Trustee, as the case may be, shall mail to such applicants and file with the Commission, together with a copy of the material to be mailed, a written statement to the effect that, in the opinion of the Note Registrar or the Indenture Trustee, as the case may be, such mailing would be contrary to the best interests of the Holders of Notes of such Series, Class or Tranche or all Noteholders, as the case may be, or would be in violation of applicable law. Such written statement will specify the basis of such opinion. If the Commission, after opportunity for a hearing upon the objections specified in the written statement so filed, shall enter an order refusing to sustain any of such objections or if, after the entry of an order sustaining one or more of such objections, the Commission shall find, after notice and opportunity for hearing, that all the objections so sustained have been met and shall enter an order so declaring, the Note Registrar and/or the Indenture Trustee, as the case may be, will mail copies of such material to all Registered Noteholders of such Series, Class or Tranche or all Registered Noteholders, as the case may be, with reasonable promptness after the entry of such order and the renewal of such tender; otherwise the Note Registrar and/or the Indenture Trustee, as the case may be, will be relieved of any obligation or duty to such applicants respecting their application.

Section 11.02. Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Issuer will maintain an office or agency where Notes may be presented or surrendered for payment, where Notes may be surrendered for transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Issuer in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served.

The Issuer will give prompt written notice to the Indenture Trustee and the Note Registrar of the location, and of any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Issuer will fail to maintain such office or will fail to furnish the Indenture Trustee and the Note Registrar with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Note Registrar; provided, however, the Note Registrar shall not be deemed an agent of the Issuer for service of legal process.

Section 11.03. Money for Note Payments to Be Held in the Trust Accounts. The Indenture Trustee, based solely upon written instructions furnished to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of this Indenture, will make distributions to Noteholders from the Collection Account or other applicable Trust Account pursuant to the provisions of Article V and Article VII of this Indenture or any Indenture Supplement. The Indenture Trustee will have the revocable power to withdraw funds from the Collection Account or other applicable Trust Account for the purpose of making the distributions referred to in the preceding sentence. The Indenture Trustee may revoke such power and remove any paying agent if the Indenture Trustee determines in its sole discretion that such paying agent has failed to perform its obligations under this Indenture or any Indenture Supplement in any material respect. Such paying agent upon removal will return all funds in its possession to the Indenture Trustee.

The Issuer will cause each paying agent (other than U.S. Bank Trust Co.) for any Series, Class or Tranche of Notes to execute and deliver to the Indenture Trustee an instrument in which such paying agent will agree with the Indenture Trustee (and to the extent the Indenture Trustee acts as paying agent, it so agrees), subject to the provisions of this Section 11.03, that such paying agent will:

-89-

(a) hold all sums held by it for the payment of principal of or interest on Notes of such Series, Class or Tranche in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums will be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided;

(b) if such paying agent is not the same Person as the Person acting as the Indenture Trustee, give the Indenture Trustee notice of any default by the Issuer (or any other obligor upon the Notes of such Series, Class or Tranche) in the making of any such payment of principal or interest on the Notes of such Series, Class or Tranche;

(c) if such paying agent is not the same Person as the Person acting as the Indenture Trustee, at any time during the continuance of any such default, upon the written request of the Indenture Trustee, forthwith pay to the Indenture Trustee all sums so held in trust by such paying agent;

(d) immediately resign as a paying agent and, if such paying agent is not the same Person as the Person acting as the Indenture Trustee, forthwith pay to the Indenture Trustee all sums held by it in trust for the payment of Notes if at any time it ceases to meet the standards described in this Section 11.03 required to be met by a paying agent at the time of its appointment; and

(e) comply with all requirements of the Internal Revenue Code 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.

The Issuer may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to any Series, Class or Tranche of Notes or for any other purpose, pay, or by an Officer’s Certificate direct the paying agent to pay, to the Indenture Trustee all sums held in trust by the Issuer or such paying agent in respect of each and every Series, Class or Tranche of Notes as to which it seeks to discharge this Indenture or, if for any other purpose, all sums so held in trust by the Issuer in respect of all Notes, such sums to be held by the Indenture Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which such sums were held by the Issuer or such paying agent; and, upon such payment by the paying agent to the Indenture Trustee, such paying agent will be released from all further liability with respect to such money.

Subject to applicable law, any money deposited with the Bank on behalf of the Indenture Trustee or the paying agent, or then held by the Issuer, in trust for the payment of the principal of or interest on any Note of any Series, Class or Tranche and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal or interest has become due and payable will be paid to the Issuer upon request in an Officer’s Certificate, or (if then held by the Issuer) will be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note will thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Issuer for payment thereof, and all liability of the Bank, the Indenture Trustee or such paying agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Issuer as trustee thereof, will thereupon cease. The Indenture Trustee or such paying agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Issuer give notice to the Holders of the Notes as to which the money to be repaid was held in trust, as provided in Section 1.06, a notice that such

-90-

funds remain unclaimed and that, after a date specified in the notice, which will not be less than thirty (30) days from the date on which the notice was first mailed or published to the Holders of the Notes as to which the money to be repaid was held in trust, any unclaimed balance of such funds then remaining will be paid to the Issuer free of the trust formerly impressed upon it.

If such paying agent publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 11.03, the combined capital and surplus of such paying agent will be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition as so published.

The Indenture Trustee may resign as the Successor Servicer by giving written notice of such resignation to the Issuer and in such event will be released from such duties and obligations, such release not to be effective until the date a Successor Servicer enters into a servicing agreement with the Issuer as provided below. Upon delivery of any such notice to the Issuer, the Issuer shall appoint an Eligible Servicer as the Successor Servicer under the Servicing Agreement. If within thirty (30) days after the delivery of the notice of termination of the Servicer’s right and powers referred to above, the Issuer shall not have obtained such a Successor Servicer, the Indenture Trustee may appoint, or may petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, a Successor Servicer. In connection with any such

-93-

appointment, the Indenture Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such Successor Servicer as the Indenture Trustee and such Successor Servicer shall agree, subject to the limitations set forth below and in the Servicing Agreement. In accordance with Section 5.02 of the Servicing Agreement, the Issuer shall enter into an agreement with such Successor Servicer for the servicing of the Transferred Assets (such agreement to be in form and substance satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee). If the Indenture Trustee shall succeed to the previous Servicer’s duties as servicer of the Transferred Assets as provided herein, it shall do so in its individual capacity and not in its capacity as Indenture Trustee, and, accordingly, the provisions of Article VIII, of this Indenture shall be inapplicable to the Indenture Trustee in its duties as the Successor Servicer and the servicing of the Transferred Assets. If the Indenture Trustee shall become the Successor Servicer under the Servicing Agreement, the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to appoint any one of its Affiliates as a sub-servicer or agent; provided, that it shall be fully liable for the actions and omissions of such sub-servicer or agent. If the Indenture Trustee shall act as Successor Servicer, all costs associated with the transfer of servicing shall be paid by the predecessor Servicer.

(c) Upon any termination of the Servicer’s rights and powers pursuant to the Servicing Agreement, the Issuer shall promptly notify the Indenture Trustee. As soon as a Successor Servicer is appointed, the Issuer shall notify the Indenture Trustee of such appointment, specifying in such notice the name and address of such Successor Servicer.

(d) The Issuer shall provide to the Indenture Trustee or its respective designees access to the documentation regarding the Accounts and the Transferred Assets in such cases where the Indenture Trustee or such designee is required in connection with the enforcement of the rights of the Indenture Trustee, or by applicable statutes or regulations to review such documentation, such access being afforded without charge but only (i) upon reasonable request, (ii) during normal business hours, (iii) subject to reasonable and customary security and confidentiality procedures and (iv) at offices designated by the Issuer. Nothing in this Section shall derogate from the obligation of any Person to observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Obligors, and the failure of the Issuer to provide access as provided in this Section as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section.

(e) The Issuer hereby covenants and agrees that it shall deliver a notice to the Transferor of any breach of a representation or warranty set forth in Section 2.04 of the Transfer Agreement if directed to do so by the Indenture Trustee (acting at the direction of Noteholders of not less than 66²⁄₃% of the Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of the Notes for all Series).

If the Transferor elects to redeem a Series, Class or Tranche of Notes, it will cause the Issuer to notify the Noteholders of such redemption at least thirty (30) days prior to the redemption date. The redemption price of a Series, Class or Tranche so redeemed will equal the Outstanding principal amount of such Tranche, plus interest accrued and unpaid or principal accreted and unpaid on such Tranche to but excluding the date of redemption.

For the avoidance of doubt, this release of such Receivables (and any related Finance Charge Receivables) from the Lien of this Indenture pursuant to this subsection 13.07(d) is automatic and does not require compliance with any conditions otherwise applicable to the release of Collateral otherwise contained in this Indenture.

Section 13.08. Certain Actions by Indenture Trustee.

(a) Within 90 days following the date on which the Transferor or the Servicer, on behalf of the Issuer, discloses in a distribution report on Form 10-D the occurrence of a Delinquency Trigger pursuant to subsection 6.01(a) of the Transfer Agreement or subsection 8.01(a) of the Servicing Agreement, respectively, Holders of Notes holding at least 5% of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Notes may submit a written petition to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee directing that a vote be taken on whether to initiate an Asset Representations Review. For the avoidance of doubt, for so long as a Delinquency Trigger has occurred and is continuing, a new 90-day petition period shall commence each month, beginning on the date on which the Transferor or the Servicer, on behalf of the Issuer, discloses in the related distribution report on Form 10-D that the Delinquency Trigger is continuing.

In connection with such vote taken in accordance with subsection 14.06(a), the Note Registrar shall provide such information as the Indenture Trustee shall reasonably request in order to conduct such vote. If (x) a vote in which an Asset Review Quorum participates occurs within such 90-day period and (y) Noteholders holding more than 50% of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Notes casting a vote direct that a review be undertaken, then the Indenture Trustee shall promptly provide written notice to the Issuer, the Transferor, and the Servicer, and to the Noteholders in the same manner as described above.

(c) Notwithstanding any provisions of this Article XIV to the contrary, and subject to the additional requirements and conditions set forth in this Article XIV, for so long as a petition to direct that a vote be taken, a vote itself, or an Asset Representations Review is underway in accordance with subsection 14.06(a), subsection 14.06(b), or the terms of the Asset Representations Review Agreement, respectively, the Noteholders may not initiate another

-107-

petition, vote, or Asset Representations Review unless and until such prior petition, vote, or Asset Representations Review is completed. For purposes of this subsection 14.06(c):

(i) a petition will be considered completed only (A) if the petition does not result in a vote, (B) if a vote occurs, such vote does not result in an Asset Representations Review, or (C) if an Asset Representations Review occurs, at such time as the Transferor or the Servicer, on behalf of the Issuer, includes a summary of the Asset Representations Reviewer’s final report setting out the findings of its Asset Representations Review in a distribution report on Form 10-D;

(ii) a vote will be considered completed only (A) if the vote does not result in an Asset Representations Review or (B) if an Asset Representations Review occurs, at such time as the Transferor or the Servicer, on behalf of the Issuer, includes a summary of the Asset Representations Reviewer’s final report setting out the findings of its Asset Representations Review in a distribution report on Form 10-D; and

(iii) an Asset Representations Review will be considered completed only at such time as the Transferor or the Servicer, on behalf of the Issuer, includes a summary of the Asset Representations Reviewer’s final report setting out the findings of its Asset Representations Review in a distribution report on Form 10-D.

(b) If any provision of the FDIC Rule or the FDIC Rule Interpretations is amended, or any interpretive guidance regarding the FDIC Rule or FDIC Rule Interpretations is provided by the FDIC or its staff, as a result of which the Issuer determines that an amendment to this Article XV or the FDIC Rule Requirements is necessary or desirable, then the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee shall be authorized and entitled to amend this Article XV or the FDIC Rule Requirements within the parameters of the FDIC Rule and the FDIC Rule Interpretations. Nothing in this subsection 15.01(b) shall limit the rights of the Indenture Trustee pursuant to subsection 10.03.

Section 15.02. Performance of the FDIC Rule Requirements. Schedule I is expressly incorporated in this Indenture. The Issuer agrees to perform the obligations set forth in

(a) In the event that WFBNA becomes the subject of an insolvency proceeding and the FDIC as receiver or conservator for WFBNA exercises its right of repudiation as contemplated by paragraph (d)(4)(ii) of the FDIC Rule, the Issuer shall determine whether the FDIC in such capacity will pay damages as provided in such paragraph (d)(4)(ii). Upon making such determination, the Issuer shall promptly, and in any event no more than one Business Day thereafter, so notify the Indenture Trustee.

(b) Upon receipt of the notice specified in subsection 15.03(a), the Indenture Trustee shall determine the date (the “applicable payment date”) for making a distribution to Noteholders of the related Series, Class or Tranche of Notes of such damages, which date shall be the earlier of (i) the next Payment Date on which such damages could be distributed and (ii) the earliest practicable date by which the Indenture Trustee could declare a special payment date, in each case subject to all applicable provisions of this Indenture, applicable law and the procedures of any applicable Depository.

(c) When the applicable payment date is determined, the Issuer shall promptly compute the amount of interest to be paid on the related Series, Class or Tranche of Notes on the applicable payment date pursuant to the applicable Indenture Supplement.

(b) If the FDIC (i) is appointed as conservator or receiver of WFBNA and (ii) is in default in the payment of principal or interest when due following the expiration of any cure period hereunder or under the other Transaction Documents due to the failure by the FDIC to pay or apply Collections received by it in accordance with this Indenture, the Indenture Trustee may, and if directed by the Majority Holders of any affected Series, shall be entitled to deliver written

-109-

notice to the FDIC requesting the exercise of contractual rights hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents with respect to the related Series, Class or Tranche.

Section 15.05. Reservation of Rights. Neither the inclusion of this Article XV in this Indenture nor the compliance by any Person with, or the acknowledgment by any Person of, this Article’s provisions constitutes an agreement or acknowledgment by any Person that, in the case of an insolvency proceeding with respect to WFBNA, a receiver or conservator will have any rights with respect to the Collateral.

Section 15.06. No Obligation to Monitor or Enforce Compliance. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article XV, none of the Indenture Trustee or the Note Registrar shall have any responsibility to monitor compliance with or enforce another party’s compliance with its obligations under the FDIC Rule.

ARTICLE XVI

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 16.01. No Petition. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Indenture Trustee, by entering into this Indenture, each Derivative Counterparty, by designating that the obligations of the Issuer pursuant to the applicable Derivative Agreement are secured by the Collateral, and each Noteholder, by accepting a Note, agrees that it will not at any time institute against the Transferor or the Issuer, or join in any institution against the Transferor or the Issuer of, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, or other proceedings under any United States federal or state bankruptcy or similar law in connection with any obligations relating to the Notes, this Indenture or any Derivative Agreement.

Section 16.02. Trust Obligations. No recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuer on the Notes or under this Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith or therewith, against (i) the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, (ii) any owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer or (iii) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer, director, employee or agent of the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, any holder of a beneficial interest in the Issuer or the Owner Trustee (including in its individual capacity) or of any successor or assign of the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, except as any such Person may have expressly agreed (it being understood that the Owner Trustee has no such obligations in its individual capacity).

Section 16.03. Limitations on Liability.

(a) It is expressly understood and agreed by the parties hereto that (i) this Indenture is executed and delivered by Wilmington Trust, National Association, not individually or personally but solely as Owner Trustee of the Issuer, in the exercise of the powers and

-110-

authority conferred and vested in it, (ii) each of the representations, undertakings and agreements herein made on the part of the Issuer is made and intended not as a personal representation, undertaking or agreement by the Owner Trustee but is made and intended for the purpose of binding only the Issuer, (iii) nothing herein contained will be construed as creating any liability on the Owner Trustee individually or personally, to perform any covenant of the Issuer either expressed or implied contained herein, all such liability, if any, being expressly waived by the parties to this Indenture and by any Person claiming by, through or under them and (iv) under no circumstances will the Owner Trustee be personally liable for the payment of any indebtedness or expenses of the Issuer or be liable for the breach or failure of any obligation, representation, warranty or covenant made or undertaken by the Issuer under this Indenture or any related documents.

(b) None of the Indenture Trustee, the Note Registrar, the Bank, the Owner Trustee (including each in its individual capacity), the Transferor, the Servicer, WFBNA, the Beneficiary, or any other beneficiary of the Issuer or any of their respective officers, directors, employers or agents will have any liability with respect to this Indenture, and recourse may be had solely to the Collateral pledged to secure the Notes issued by WF Card Issuance Trust.

Section 16.04. Tax Treatment. (a) The Issuer and the Noteholders agree that the Notes are intended to be debt for federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes and agree to treat the Notes accordingly for all such purposes, unless otherwise required by applicable law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent the Issuer is treated as a partnership for federal, state or local income or franchise purposes and a Noteholder is treated as a partner in such partnership, the Noteholders agree that any tax, penalty, interest or other obligation imposed under the Internal Revenue Code with respect to the income tax items arising from such partnership shall be the sole obligation of the Noteholder to whom such items are allocated and not of such partnership.

(b) Prior to the first Payment Date, at any time required by law and/or promptly upon request, each Noteholder shall provide to the Indenture Trustee and/or the Issuer (or other Person responsible for withholding of taxes, including but not limited to any withholding or deduction required pursuant to FATCA, or delivery of information under FATCA) information and/or properly completed and signed tax certifications sufficient to eliminate the imposition of or to determine the amount of any withholding tax, including backup withholding tax and any withholding or deduction required pursuant to FATCA (collectively, the “Tax Information”). Each Noteholder is deemed to understand that by acceptance of a Note, such Noteholder agrees to supply the Tax Information. Further, each Noteholder is deemed to understand that the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee have the right to withhold on payments payable with respect to the Note (without any corresponding gross-up) in the event of a failure to comply with both of the preceding sentences or in the event that the Tax Information provided results in withholding being required, for which neither the Issuer nor the Indenture Trustee shall have any liability.

Section 16.05. Tax Retained Notes.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture, no interest in any Tax Retained Notes may be directly or indirectly sold, transferred, assigned, exchanged,

-111-

participated or otherwise conveyed, pledged, hypothecated or rehypothecated or made the subject of a security interest (each such transaction for purposes of this Section 16.05, a “Transfer”) unless prior to and in connection with such Transfer either (i) an Issuer Tax Opinion is delivered to the Indenture Trustee with respect to such Transfer (excluding any Tax Retained Notes from such Issuer Tax Opinion to the extent they are otherwise included in the definition of Issuer Tax Opinion in the Indenture) or (ii) an Opinion of Counsel is delivered to the Indenture Trustee to the effect that such Notes will be debt for United States federal income tax purposes.

(b) With respect to any Transfer for which no Opinion of Counsel is provided pursuant to sub-clause (ii) of the preceding clause (a), the transfer of such Notes must be to a Person who is a “United States person” for United Stated federal income tax purposes unless otherwise provided in a written opinion of nationally recognized tax counsel that such Transfer will not cause the Trust to be subject to deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax. If there are other Notes of the same Class as such transferred Notes which are not Tax Retained Notes prior to such transfer, such transfer will not be effective unless (i) the Tax Retained Notes are part of the same issue (as described in United States Treasury Regulation section 1.1275-2(k)) as the other Notes from the same Class, (ii) neither the Tax Retained Notes nor such other Notes from the same Class will be treated as issued with original issue discount for United States federal income tax purposes or (iii) the Tax Retained Notes and such other Notes from the same Class can be tracked in a manner that will allow each holder of any such Note to identify the information described in United States Treasury Regulation section 1.1275-3(b)(1)(i) with respect to each such Note.

Section 16.06. Actions Taken by the Issuer. Any and all actions that are to be taken by the Issuer may be taken by either the Beneficiary or the Owner Trustee (at the written direction of the Beneficiary) on behalf of the Issuer.

Section 16.07. Reserved..

Section 16.08. Termination of Issuer. The Issuer and the respective obligations and responsibilities of the Indenture Trustee created hereby (other than the obligation of the Indenture Trustee to make payments to Noteholders as hereinafter set forth) shall terminate, except with respect to the duties described in subsection 16.09(b), as provided in the Trust Agreement.

Section 16.09. Final Distribution.

(a) The Transferor shall give the Indenture Trustee and the Note Registrar at least thirty (30) days prior written notice of the Payment Date on which the Noteholders of any Series, Class or Tranche may surrender their Notes for payment of the final distribution on and cancellation of such Notes. Not later than the fifth day of the month in which the final distribution in respect of such Series or Class is payable to Noteholders, the Indenture Trustee shall provide notice to Noteholders of such Series, Class or Tranche specifying (i) the date upon which final payment of such Series, Class or Tranche will be made upon presentation

-112-

and surrender of Notes of such Series, Class or Tranche at the office or offices therein designated, (ii) the amount of any such final payment and (iii) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such payment date is not applicable, payments being made only upon presentation and surrender of such Notes at the office or offices therein specified. The Indenture Trustee shall give such notice to the Note Registrar at the time such notice is given to Noteholders.

(b) Notwithstanding a final distribution to the Noteholders of any Series, Class or Tranche (or the termination of the Issuer), except as otherwise provided in this paragraph, all funds then on deposit in any Trust Account allocated to such Noteholders shall continue to be held in trust for the benefit of such Noteholders, and the Indenture Trustee shall pay such funds to such Noteholders upon surrender of their Notes, if certificated. In the event that all such Noteholders shall not surrender their Notes for cancellation within six (6) months after the date specified in the notice from the Indenture Trustee described in paragraph (a), the Indenture Trustee shall give a second notice to the remaining such Noteholders (with a copy to the Note Registrar) to surrender their Notes for cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all such Notes shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Indenture Trustee may take appropriate steps, or may appoint an agent to take appropriate steps, to contact the remaining such Noteholders concerning surrender of their Notes, and the cost thereof shall be paid out of the funds in the Collection Account, the Excess Funding Account, or any Supplemental Account held for the benefit of such Noteholders. Subject to applicable law, the Indenture Trustee shall disburse to the Issuer any monies held by them for the payment of principal or interest that remains unclaimed for two (2) years. After payment to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee shall have no liability with respect to such funds, and Noteholders entitled to the money must look solely to the Issuer for payment as general creditors unless an applicable abandoned property law designates another Person.

Section 16.10. Termination Distributions. Upon the termination of the Issuer pursuant to the terms of the Trust Agreement, the Indenture Trustee shall release, assign and convey to the Beneficiary or any of its designees, without recourse, representation or warranty, all of its right, title and interest in the Collateral, whether then existing or thereafter created, all monies due or to become due and all amounts received or receivable with respect thereto (including all moneys then held in any Trust Account) and all proceeds thereof, except for amounts held by the Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 16.09(b). The Indenture Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer and Assignment as shall be provided to it, in each case without recourse, as shall be reasonably requested by the Beneficiary to vest in the Beneficiary or any of its designees all right, title and interest which the Indenture Trustee had in the Collateral and such other property.

Section 16.11. Derivative Counterparty as Third-Party Beneficiary. Each Derivative Counterparty is a third-party beneficiary of this Indenture to the extent specified in the applicable Derivative Agreement or Indenture Supplement.

Re: Purchase of $________^* principal amount of

WF Card Issuance Trust, Series [_], Class [_] Notes

Ladies and Gentlemen:

In connection with our purchase of the above Notes (the “Notes”) we confirm that:

(1) We understand that the Notes are not being registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and are being sold to us in a transaction that is exempt from the registration requirements under the Securities Act.

(2) Any information we desire concerning the Notes or any other matter relevant to our decision to purchase the Notes is or has been made available to us.

(3) We have such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Notes, and we (and any account for which we are purchasing under paragraph (iv) below) are able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Notes. We (and any account for which we are purchasing under paragraph (iv) below) are an “accredited investor” (as such term is defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (2) or (3) of Regulation D under the Securities Act).

(4) We are acquiring the Notes for our own account or for accounts as to which we exercise sole investment discretion and not with a view to any distribution of the Notes, subject, nevertheless, to the understanding that the disposition of our property shall at all times be and remain within our control;

^*	Not less than $250,000 minimum principal amount.

A-1

(5) We agree that the Notes must be held indefinitely by us unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from any registration requirements under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities law is available;

(6) We agree that in the event that at some future time we wish to dispose of or exchange any of the Notes (such disposition or exchange not being currently foreseen or contemplated), we will not transfer or exchange any of the Notes unless:

(a)(i) the sale is of at least U.S. $250,000 principal amount of Notes to an Eligible Purchaser (as defined below), (ii) a letter to substantially the same effect as paragraphs (1), (2), (3), (4), (5) and (6) of this letter is executed promptly by the purchaser and (iii) all offers or solicitations in connection with the sale, whether directly or through any agent acting on our behalf, are limited only to Eligible Purchasers and are not made by means of any form of general solicitation or general advertising whatsoever; or

(b) the Notes are transferred pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act by us after we have held them for more than three years; or

(c) the Notes are sold in any other transaction that does not require registration under the Securities Act and, if the Issuer, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee or the Note Registrar so requests, we theretofore have furnished to such party an opinion of counsel satisfactory to such party, in form and substance satisfactory to such party, to such effect; or

(d) the Notes are transferred pursuant to an exception from the registration requirements under the Securities Act under Rule 144A under the Securities Act; and

(7) We understand that the Notes will bear a legend to substantially the following effect:

“THIS NOTE HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”). NEITHER THIS NOTE NOR ANY PORTION HEREOF MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE REGISTRATION PROVISIONS UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE PROVISIONS OF ANY STATE BLUE SKY OR SECURITIES LAWS OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM SUCH PROVISIONS. THE TRANSFER OF THIS NOTE IS SUBJECT TO CERTAIN CONDITIONS SET FORTH IN THE INDENTURE REFERRED TO HEREIN.”

This legend may be removed if the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Note Registrar have received an opinion of counsel satisfactory to them, in form and substance satisfactory to them, to the effect that the legend may be removed.

“Eligible Purchaser” means either an Eligible Dealer or a corporation, partnership or other entity which we have reasonable grounds to believe and do believe can make representations with respect to itself to substantially the same effect as the representations set forth herein. “Eligible Dealer” means any corporation or other entity the principal business of which is acting as a broker and/or dealer in securities. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Indenture, dated as of November 14, 2023, between WF Card Issuance Trust, U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as indenture trustee and as note registrar, and U.S. Bank National Association, as bank.
