Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

General

As previously announced, on March 2, 2022, Wingstop Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) entered into a definitive agreement relating to an existing securitized financing facility pursuant to a privately placed securitization transaction (the “2022 Securitization”). To complete the 2022 Securitization, on March 9, 2022 (the “Closing Date”), Wingstop Funding LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Issuer”), a limited purpose, bankruptcy-remote, indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company issued $250 million of its Series 2022-1 3.734% Fixed Rate Senior Secured Notes, Class A-2 (the “2022 Class A-2 Notes”). The offering was exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). In connection with the issuance of the 2022 Class A-2 Notes, the Issuer also entered into a revolving financing facility of Series 2022-1 Variable Funding Senior Notes, Class A-1 (the “2022 Variable Funding Notes”), which permits borrowings of up to a maximum principal amount of $200 million, a portion of which may be used to issue letters of credit. The 2022 Class A-2 Notes and the 2022 Variable Funding Notes are referred to collectively as the “2022 Notes.” Subject to certain limitations, the 2022 Notes are secured by certain of the Company’s domestic and foreign revenue-generating assets, consisting principally of franchise-related agreements, intellectual property, and vendor rebate contracts (collectively, the “Securitized Assets”), that were previously contributed or otherwise transferred to the Issuer and certain other limited-purpose, bankruptcy-remote, wholly owned indirect subsidiaries of the Company (collectively, the “Securitization Entities”) that act as guarantors pursuant to a guarantee and collateral agreement previously entered into.

2022 Class A-2 Notes

The 2022 Class A-2 Notes were issued under a Second Amended and Restated Base Indenture (the “Base Indenture”) and the related Series 2022-1 Supplement thereto (the “Series 2022-1 Supplement”), each dated March 9, 2022, by and between the Issuer and Citibank, N.A., as trustee (in such capacity, the “Trustee”) and securities intermediary. The Base Indenture and the Series 2022-1 Supplement (collectively with the Series 2020 Supplement previously entered into, the “Indenture”) will allow the Issuer to issue additional series of notes in the future, subject to certain conditions set forth therein.

Interest and principal payments on the 2022 Class A-2 Notes are payable on a quarterly basis. The requirement to make such quarterly principal payments on the 2022 Class A-2 Notes is subject to certain financial conditions set forth in the Indenture. The legal final maturity date of the 2022 Class A-2 Notes is in March of 2052, but, unless earlier prepaid to the extent permitted under the Indenture, the anticipated repayment date of the 2022 Class A-2 Notes will be in March 2029. If the Issuer has not repaid or refinanced the 2022 Class A-2 Notes prior to the anticipated repayment date, additional interest will accrue on the 2022 Class A-2 Notes in an amount equal to the greater of (A) 5.00% per annum and (B) a per annum interest rate equal to the excess, if any, by which the sum of the following exceeds the original interest rate of the 2022 Class A-2 Notes (i) the yield to maturity (adjusted to a quarterly bond-equivalent basis) on such anticipated repayment date of the United States Treasury Security having a term closest to 10 years, plus (ii) 5.00%, plus (iii) 1.88%.

2022 Variable Funding Notes

In connection with the issuance of the 2022 Class A-2 Notes, the Issuer also entered into a revolving financing facility consisting of 2022 Variable Funding Notes, which, subject to certain financial and other borrowing conditions set forth in the 2022 Variable Funding Note Purchase Agreement, permits borrowings of up to a maximum principal amount of $200 million, a portion of which may be used to issue letters of credit. The 2022 Variable Funding Notes were issued under the Indenture and allow for borrowings on a revolving basis. Borrowings and certain additional terms related to the 2022 Variable Funding Notes are governed by the Class A-1 Note Purchase Agreement, dated March 9, 2022, by and among the Issuer, the Guarantors, Wingstop Restaurants Inc., as manager (the “Manager”), certain conduit investors, financial institutions, and funding agents, Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, as swingline lender, administrative agent and provider of letters of credit (the “2022 Variable Funding Note Purchase Agreement”). The 2022 Variable Funding Notes will be governed by both the 2022 Variable Funding Note Purchase Agreement and the Indenture. Depending on the type of borrowing under the 2022 Variable Funding Notes, interest on the 2022 Variable Funding Notes will be based on (i) the prime rate, (ii) overnight federal funds rates, (iii) the secured overnight financing rate or (iv) with respect to advances made by conduit investors, the weighted average cost of, or related to, the issuance of commercial paper allocated to fund or maintain such advances, in each case plus any applicable margin, as more fully set forth in the 2022 Variable Funding Note Purchase Agreement and the Series 2022-1 Supplement. The Issuer has not drawn on the 2022 Variable Funding Notes as of the Closing Date. Commitment fees and other usage fees apply to the 2022 Variable Funding Notes facility depending on the type of borrowing requested. There is a 60-basis points draw fee on borrowings requested pursuant to the terms of the 2022 Variable Fund Note Purchase Agreement. Additionally, during a commitment availability period, there is a 30-basis point commitment fee on the committed portion of the Variable Funding Notes facility which is payable quarterly. It is anticipated that the principal and interest on the 2022 Variable Funding Notes will be repaid in full on or prior to March of 2027, subject to two additional one-year extensions at the option of the Manager. Following the anticipated repayment date (and any extensions thereof), additional interest will accrue on the 2022 Variable Funding Notes equal to 5.00% per annum.

Covenants and Restrictions

The 2022 Notes are subject to a series of covenants and restrictions customary for transactions of this type, including (i) that the Issuer maintains specified reserve accounts to be used to make required payments in respect of the 2022 Notes, (ii) provisions relating to optional and mandatory prepayments and the related payment of specified amounts, including specified make-whole payments in the case of the 2022 Class A-2 Notes under certain circumstances, (iii) certain indemnification payments in the event, among other things, that the assets pledged as collateral for the 2022 Notes are in stated ways defective or ineffective, and (iv) covenants relating to recordkeeping, access to information, and similar matters. The 2022 Class A-2 Notes are also subject to customary rapid amortization events provided for in the Indenture, including events tied to failure to maintain stated debt service coverage ratios, the sum of global gross sales for specified restaurants being below certain levels on certain measurement dates, certain change of control and manager termination events, an event of default, and the failure to repay or refinance the 2022 Class A-2 Notes on the applicable anticipated repayment date or scheduled maturity date. The 2022 Notes are also subject to certain customary events of default, including events relating to non-payment of required interest, principal or other amounts due on or with respect to the 2022 Notes, failure to comply with covenants within certain time frames, certain bankruptcy events, breaches of specified representations and warranties, failure of security interests to be effective, and certain judgments.

Use of Proceeds

On the Closing Date, a portion of the net proceeds of the offering were used to pay fees and expenses related to the issuance of the 2022 Notes. The Company intends to use the remaining proceeds for general corporate purposes, including the return of cash to the Company’s stockholders through the issuance of a special dividend, as described in more detail below under Item 8.01.

The foregoing summaries do not purport to be complete and are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by reference to, the complete copies of the Base Indenture, the Series 2022-1 Supplement and the 2022 Variable Funding Note Purchase Agreement, which have been filed as Exhibits 4.1, 4.2 and 10.1, respectively, hereto and are hereby incorporated herein by reference. Interested parties should read the documents in their entirety.

Item 1.02. Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement

The Issuer’s Series 2020-1 Class A-1 Notes were terminated in connection with the 2022 Securitization.

Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition

The following information is furnished pursuant to Item 2.02, “Results of Operations and Financial Condition.” Consequently, it is not deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section. It may only be incorporated by reference in another filing under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act, if such subsequent filing specifically references this Form 8-K.

Item 8.01. Other Events

Special Dividend

On March 9, 2022, the Board declared a special dividend of $4.00 per share of common stock payable to stockholders of record as of March 24, 2022, to be paid on April 7, 2022. The dividend is expected be funded through proceeds from the issuance and sale of the 2022 Notes. A portion of the special dividend that is equal to the Company’s current and accumulated earnings and profits through fiscal year end December 31, 2022 will be taxable to stockholders as a qualified dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes. While the tax treatment of the special dividend cannot be concluded with certainty until 2023, the Company expects approximately 50% - 60% of the dividend to be in excess of the Company’s earnings and profits. Stockholders are encouraged to consult with their financial and tax advisors regarding circumstances of their individual situation.

The Company intends to provide a preliminary estimate of its accumulated earnings and profits through fiscal year end December 31, 2022 in the Investor Relations section of its website (www.wingstop.com). Since the earnings and profits amount will not be finalized until the Company completes its corporate income tax returns for the December 31, 2022 fiscal year, the Company expects to provide final information as soon as it is available, but no later than October 2023.

The signature of such Authorized Officer on the Notes may be manual or facsimile. If an Authorized Officer of the Issuer whose signature is on a Note no longer holds that office at the time the Note is authenticated, the Note shall nevertheless be valid.

(b) At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Base Indenture, the Issuer may deliver Notes (other than Uncertificated Notes) of any particular Series (issued pursuant to Section 2.2) executed by the Issuer to the Trustee for authentication, together with one or more Company Orders for the authentication and delivery (or registration in the case of Uncertificated Notes) of such Notes, and the Trustee, in accordance with such Company Order and this Base Indenture, shall authenticate and deliver such Notes (or register such Notes, in the case of Uncertificated Notes).

(c) No Note (other than Uncertificated Notes) shall be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid for any purpose unless there appears on such Note a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for below, duly executed by the Trustee by the manual signature of a Trust Officer. Such signatures on such certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that the Note has been duly authenticated under this Base Indenture. The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Issuer to authenticate any applicable Notes. Unless limited by the term of such appointment, an authenticating agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Base Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such authenticating agent. The Trustee’s certificate of authentication shall be in substantially the following form:

“This is one of the Notes of a Series issued under the within mentioned Indenture.

CITIBANK, N.A., as Trustee
By:
Name:
Title:	Authorized Signatory”

(d) Each Note (other than Uncertificated Notes) shall be dated and issued as of the date of its authentication by the Trustee.

10

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Note shall have been authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the Issuer, and the Issuer shall deliver such Note to the Trustee for cancellation as provided in Section 2.14 together with a written statement to the Trustee and the Servicer (which need not comply with Section 14.3) stating that such Note has never been issued and sold by the Issuer, for all purposes of the Indenture such Note shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall not be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture.

Section 2.5 Note Registrar and Paying Agent.

(a) The Issuer shall (i) maintain an office or agency where Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (or de-registration in the case of Uncertificated Notes) (the “Note Registrar”) and (ii) appoint a paying agent (which shall satisfy the eligibility criteria set forth in Section 10.8(a)) (the “Paying Agent”) at whose office or agency Notes (or evidence of ownership of Uncertificated Notes) may be presented for payment. The Note Registrar shall keep a register of the Notes (including the name and address of each such Noteholder) and of their transfer and exchange. The Trustee shall indicate in its books and records the commitment of each Noteholder, if applicable, and the principal amount owing to each Noteholder from time to time. The Issuer may appoint one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents. The term “Paying Agent” shall include any additional paying agent, and the term “Note Registrar” shall include any co-registrars. The Issuer may change the Paying Agent or the Note Registrar without prior notice to any Noteholder. The Issuer shall notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this Base Indenture. The Trustee is hereby initially appointed as the Note Registrar and the Paying Agent and shall send copies of all notices and demands received by the Trustee (other than those sent by the Issuer to the Trustee and those addressed to the Issuer) in connection with the Notes to the Issuer. Upon any resignation or removal of the Note Registrar, the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor Note Registrar or, in the absence of such appointment, the Issuer shall assume the duties of the Note Registrar.

(b) The Issuer shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Agent not a party to this Base Indenture. Such agency agreement shall implement the provisions of this Base Indenture that relate to such Agent. If the Issuer fails to maintain a Note Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee hereby agrees to act as such, and shall be entitled to appropriate compensation in accordance with this Base Indenture until the Issuer shall appoint a replacement Note Registrar or Paying Agent, as applicable.

Section 2.6 Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust.

(a) The Issuer will cause the Paying Agent (if the Paying Agent is not the Trustee) to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which the Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee (and if the Trustee is the Paying Agent, it hereby so agrees), subject to the provisions of this Section 2.6, that the Paying Agent will:

(i) hold all sums held by it for the payment of amounts due with respect to the Notes in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and pay such sums to such Persons as herein provided;

(ii) give the Trustee notice of any default by the Issuer of which it has Actual Knowledge in the making of any payment required to be made with respect to the Notes;

(iii) at any time during the continuance of any such default, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by the Paying Agent;

(iv) immediately resign as the Paying Agent and forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums held by it in trust for the payment of Notes if at any time it ceases to meet the standards required to be met by a Trustee hereunder at the time of its appointment; and

11

(v) comply with all requirements of the Code and other applicable tax law (including for the avoidance of doubt, FATCA) 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.

(b) The Issuer may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture or for any other purpose, by Company Order direct the Paying Agent to pay to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee in trust upon the same terms as those upon which the sums were held in trust by the Paying Agent. Upon such payment by the Paying Agent to the Trustee, the Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money.

(c) Subject to applicable laws with respect to escheat of funds, any money held by the Trustee or the Paying Agent in trust for the payment of any amount due with respect to any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such amount has become due and payable shall be discharged from such trust and be paid to the Issuer upon delivery of a Company Request. The Holder of such Note shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Issuer for payment thereof (but only to the extent of the amounts so paid to the Issuer), and all liability of the Trustee or the Paying Agent with respect to such trust money paid to the Issuer shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or the Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may, at the expense of the Issuer, cause to be published once, in a newspaper published in the English language, customarily published on each Business Day and of general circulation in New York City, and in a newspaper customarily published on each Business Day and of general circulation in London, if applicable, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than thirty (30) days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Issuer. The Trustee may also adopt and employ, at the expense of the Issuer, any other commercially reasonable means of notification of such repayment.

Section 2.7 Noteholder List.

(a) The Trustee will furnish or cause to be furnished by the Note Registrar to the Issuer, the Manager, the Control Party, the Controlling Class Representative or the Paying Agent, within five (5) Business Days after receipt by the Trustee of a request therefor from the Issuer, the Manager, the Control Party, the Controlling Class Representative or the Paying Agent, respectively, in writing, the names and addresses of the Noteholders of each Series as of the most recent Record Date for payments to such Noteholders. Every Noteholder, by receiving and holding a Note or beneficial interest therein, agrees that none of the Trustee, the Note Registrar, the Issuer, the Servicer, the Controlling Class Representative nor any of their respective agents shall be held accountable by reason of any disclosure of any such information as to the names and addresses of the Noteholders in the Note Register.

(b) The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of Noteholders of each Series of Notes. If the Trustee is not the Note Registrar, the Issuer shall furnish to the Trustee at least seven (7) Business Days before each Quarterly Payment Date and at such other time as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of Noteholders of each Series of Notes.

Section 2.8 Transfer and Exchange.

(a) Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note (or as set forth in any Series Supplement with respect to the transfer and registration or de-registration of any Uncertificated Notes) at the office or agency of the Note Registrar, if the requirements of Section 2.8(f) and Section 8-401(a) of the New York UCC are met, the Issuer shall (except in the case of Uncertificated Notes) execute and, after the Issuer has executed, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Noteholder, in the name of the

12

designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes, in any authorized denominations, of the same Series and Class (and, if applicable, Subclass or Tranche) and a like original aggregate principal amount of the Notes so transferred. At the option of any Noteholder, Notes may be exchanged (or de-registered) for other Notes (or in the case of an exchange for Uncertificated Notes, registered) of the same Series and Class (and, if applicable, Subclass or Tranche) in authorized denominations of like original aggregate principal amount of the Notes so exchanged, upon surrender (or de-registration) of the Notes to be exchanged at any office or agency of the Note Registrar maintained for such purpose. Whenever Notes of any Series are so surrendered for exchange (or de-registration), if the requirements of Section 2.8(f) and Section 8-401(a) of the New York UCC are met, the Issuer shall execute (other than Uncertificated Notes) and, after the Issuer has executed, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Noteholder the Notes (other than Uncertificated Notes) which the Noteholder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

(b) Every Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be (i) (other than Uncertificated Notes) duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee, the Issuer and the Note Registrar duly executed by, the Holder thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing with a medallion signature guarantee and (ii) accompanied by such other documents as the Trustee and the Note Registrar may require to document the identities and/or signatures of the transferor and the transferee (including but not limited to the applicable Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 or W-9). The Issuer shall execute and deliver to the Trustee or the Note Registrar, as applicable, Notes in such amounts and at such times as are necessary to enable the Trustee to fulfill its responsibilities under the Indenture and the Notes.

(c) All Notes issued and authenticated upon any registration of transfer or exchange of the Notes (including any transfer of Uncertificated Notes) shall be the valid obligations of the Issuer, evidencing the same indebtedness, and entitled to the same benefits under the Indenture, as the Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

(d) The preceding provisions of this Section 2.8 notwithstanding, (i) the Trustee, the Issuer or the Note Registrar, as the case may be, shall not be required (A) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange (or de-registration) of any Note of any Series for a period beginning at the opening of business fifteen (15) days preceding the selection of any Series of Notes for redemption and ending at the close of business on the day of the mailing of the relevant notice of redemption or (B) to register the transfer of or exchange any Note so selected for redemption, and (ii) no assignment or transfer of a Note or any commitment in respect thereof shall be effective until such assignment or transfer shall have been recorded in the Note Register and in the books and records of the Trustee, as applicable, pursuant to Section 2.5(a) or as otherwise set forth in a Series Supplement with respect to Uncertificated Notes.

(e) No service charge shall be payable for any registration of transfer or exchange (or de-registration) of Notes, but the Note Registrar or the Trustee, as the case may be, may require payment by the Noteholder of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration, de-registration, transfer or exchange of Notes.

(f) Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Series Supplement, registration of transfer of Notes containing a legend relating to the restrictions on transfer of such Notes (which legend shall be set forth in the applicable Series Supplement) shall be effected only if the conditions set forth in such applicable Series Supplement are satisfied.

Section 2.9 Persons Deemed Owners.

Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of any Note (or any other transfer and de-registration of Uncertificated Notes), the Trustee, the Servicer, the Controlling Class Representative, any Agent and the Issuer may deem and treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered (as of the day of determination) as the absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and interest on such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever (other than purposes in which the vote or consent of a Note Owner is expressly required pursuant to this Base Indenture or the applicable Series Supplement), whether or not such Note is overdue, and none of the Trustee, the Servicer, the Controlling Class Representative, any Agent nor the Issuer shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

Section 2.10 Replacement Notes.

(a) If (i) any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee, or the Trustee receives evidence to its reasonable satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, and (ii) there is delivered to the Issuer and the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to hold the Issuer and the Trustee harmless, then, provided that the requirements of Section 2.8(f) and Section 8-405 of the New York UCC are met, the Issuer shall execute and, upon its request, the Trustee or an authenticating agent appointed by the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a replacement Note; provided, however, that if any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, but not a mutilated Note, shall have become, or within seven (7) days shall be, due and payable, instead of issuing a replacement Note, the Issuer may pay such destroyed, lost or stolen Note when so due or payable without surrender thereof. If, after the delivery of such replacement Note or payment of a destroyed, lost or stolen Note pursuant to the preceding sentence, a protected purchaser (within the meaning of Section 8-303 of the New York UCC) of the original Note in lieu of which such replacement Note was issued presents for payment such original Note, the Issuer and the Trustee shall be entitled to recover such replacement Note (or such payment) from the Person to whom it was delivered or any Person taking such replacement Note from such Person to whom such replacement Note was delivered or any assignee of such Person, except a protected purchaser, and shall be entitled to recover upon the security or indemnity provided therefor to the extent of any loss, damage, cost or expense incurred by the Issuer or the Trustee in connection therewith.

(b) Upon the issuance of any replacement Note (or registration of Uncertificated Notes) under this Section 2.10, the Issuer may require the payment by the Holder of such Note of a sum sufficient to cover any Tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other reasonable expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee and the Note Registrar) connected therewith.

(c) Every replacement Note issued (or registered in the case of Uncertificated Notes) pursuant to this Section 2.10 in replacement of any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Issuer and such replacement Note shall be entitled to all the benefits of the Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued under the Indenture (in accordance with the priorities and other terms set forth herein and in each applicable Series Supplement).

(d) The provisions of this Section 2.10 are exclusive and shall 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 2.11 Treasury Notes.

In determining whether the Noteholders of the required Aggregate Outstanding Principal Amount of Notes or the required Outstanding Principal Amount of any Series or any Class, Subclass or Tranche of any Series of Notes, as the case may be, have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned, legally or beneficially, by the Issuer or any Affiliate of the Issuer shall be considered as though they are not Outstanding, except that for the purpose of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes of which a Trust Officer has received written notice of such ownership shall be so disregarded. Absent written notice to a Trust Officer of such ownership, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of the identity of the individual Note Owners.

(ii) the Issuer, the Paying Agent, the Note Registrar, the Trustee, the Servicer and the Controlling Class Representative may deal with the Clearing Agency and the applicable Clearing Agency Participants for all purposes (including the payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes and the giving of instructions or directions hereunder or under the applicable Series Supplement) as the sole Holder of the Notes, and shall have no obligation to the Note Owners;

(iii) to the extent that the provisions of this Section 2.12 conflict with any other provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of this Section 2.12 shall control with respect to each such Series of the Notes or such Class, Subclass or Tranche;

(iv) subject to the rights of the Servicer and the Controlling Class Representative under the Indenture, and except for the rights granted pursuant to Section 11.5(b), the rights of Note Owners of each such Series, Class, Subclass or Tranche of Notes shall be exercised only through the Clearing Agency and the applicable Clearing Agency Participants and shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such Note Owners and the Clearing Agency and/or the Clearing Agency Participants, and all references in the Indenture to actions by the Noteholders shall refer to actions taken by the Clearing Agency upon instructions from the Clearing Agency Participants, and all references in the Indenture to distributions, notices, reports and statements to the Noteholders shall refer to distributions, notices, reports and statements to the Clearing Agency, as registered holder of the Notes of such Series, Class, Subclass or Tranche for distribution to the Note Owners in accordance with the Applicable Procedures of the Clearing Agency; and

15

(b) Pursuant to the Depository Agreement applicable to a Series, Class, Subclass or Tranche, unless and until Definitive Notes of such Series, Class, Subclass or Tranche, are issued pursuant to Section 2.13 (or as otherwise set forth in any applicable Series Supplement with respect to Uncertificated Notes), the initial Clearing Agency will make book-entry transfers among the Clearing Agency Participants and receive and transmit distributions of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes to such Clearing Agency Participants.

(c) Whenever notice or other communication to the Noteholders is required under the Indenture, unless and until Definitive Notes shall have been issued to Note Owners pursuant to Section 2.13, the Trustee and the Issuer shall give all such notices and communications specified herein to be given to Noteholders to the applicable Clearing Agency for distribution to the Note Owners in accordance with the Applicable Procedures of each Clearing Agency.

Section 2.13 Definitive Notes.

(a) The Notes of any Series or Class, Subclass or Tranche of any Series, to the extent provided in the related Series Supplement, upon original issuance, may be issued in the form of Definitive Notes or Uncertificated Notes. The applicable Series Supplement shall set forth the legend relating to the restrictions on transfer of such Definitive Notes (or transfer and de-registration with respect to Uncertificated Notes) and such other restrictions as may be applicable.

Upon surrender to the Trustee of the Notes of such Series, Class, Subclass or Tranche, by the applicable Clearing Agency, accompanied by registration instructions from the applicable Clearing Agency for registration, the Issuer shall execute (other than with respect to Uncertificated Notes) and the Trustee shall authenticate, upon receipt of a Company Order, and deliver an equal aggregate principal amount of Definitive Notes in accordance with the instructions of the Clearing Agency. Neither the Issuer nor the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may each conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Notes of such Series, Class, Subclass or Tranche, of Notes, all references herein to obligations imposed upon or to be performed by the applicable Clearing Agency shall be deemed to be imposed upon and performed by the Trustee, to the extent applicable with respect to such Definitive Notes, and the Trustee shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Notes of such Series, Class, Subclass or Tranche, as Noteholders of such Series hereunder and under the applicable Series Supplement.

Immediately upon the delivery of any Notes by the Issuer to the Trustee for cancellation pursuant to this Section 2.14 (or as set forth in any applicable Series Supplement with respect to de-registration of Uncertificated Notes), the security interest of the Secured Parties in such Notes shall automatically be deemed to be released by the Trustee, and the Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Issuer any and all documentation reasonably requested and prepared by the Issuer at its expense to evidence such automatic release. The Note Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment (or de-registration of Uncertificated Notes). The Trustee shall cancel (or de-register) all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation. Except as provided in any Class A-1 Note Purchase Agreement executed and delivered in connection with the issuance of any Series or any Class, Subclass or Tranche of any Series of Notes, the Issuer may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has redeemed or paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation (or de-registration). All cancelled Notes held by the Trustee shall be disposed of in accordance with the Trustee’s standard disposition procedures unless the Issuer shall direct that cancelled Notes be returned to it for destruction pursuant to a Company Order. No cancelled (or de-registered) Notes may be reissued. No provision of this Base Indenture or any Supplement that relates to prepayment procedures, penalties, fees, make-whole payments or any other related matters shall be applicable to any Notes cancelled (or de-registered) pursuant to and in accordance with this Section 2.14.

(a) The Issuer has structured this Base Indenture and the Notes have been (or will be) issued with the intention that the Notes will qualify under applicable tax law as indebtedness of the Issuer or, if the Issuer is treated as a division of another entity, such other entity, and any entity acquiring any direct or indirect interest in any Note by acceptance of its Notes (or, in the case of a Note Owner, by virtue of such Note Owner’s acquisition of a beneficial interest therein) (or registration of an Uncertificated Note) agrees to treat the Notes (or beneficial interests therein) for all purposes of federal, state, local and foreign income or franchise taxes, and any other tax imposed on or measured by income, as indebtedness of the Issuer or, if the Issuer is treated as a division of another entity, such other entity.

(b) Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by its acceptance of a Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note, agrees to provide and shall provide to the Trustee, Paying Agent and/or the Issuer (or other Person responsible for withholding of taxes) with the Tax Information, and will update or replace such Tax Information as necessary at any time required by law or promptly upon request. Further, each Noteholder and Note Owner is deemed to understand, acknowledge and agree that the Trustee, Paying Agent and Issuer (or other Person responsible for withholding of taxes) have the right to withhold on payments with respect to a Note (without any corresponding gross-up) where an applicable party fails to comply with the requirements set forth in the preceding sentence or the Trustee, Paying Agent or Issuer (or other Person responsible for withholding of taxes) is otherwise required to so withhold under applicable law.

(a) Notwithstanding the grant of the security interest in the Indenture Collateral hereunder to the Trustee, on behalf of the Secured Parties, the Issuer acknowledges that the Manager, on behalf of the Securitization Entities, shall, subject to the terms and conditions of the Management Agreement, nevertheless have the right, subject to the Trustee’s right to revoke such right, in whole or in part, in the event of the occurrence of an Event of Default, (i) to give, in accordance with the Managing Standard, all consents, requests, notices, directions, approvals, extensions and waivers, if any, which are required or permitted to be given by the Issuer under the Collateral Documents, and to enforce all rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims of the Issuer under the Collateral Documents and (ii) to take any other actions required or permitted under the terms of the Management Agreement.

(b) The grant of the security interest by the Issuer in the Indenture Collateral to the Trustee on behalf of the Secured Parties shall not (i) relieve the Issuer from the performance of any term, covenant, condition or agreement on the Issuer’s part to be performed or observed under or in connection with any of the Collateral Documents or (ii) impose any obligation on the Trustee or any of the other Secured Parties to perform or observe any such term, covenant, condition or agreement on the Issuer’s part to be so performed or observed or impose any liability on the Trustee or any of the other Secured Parties for any act or omission on the part of the Issuer or from any breach of any representation or warranty on the part of the Issuer.

The indemnification provided for in this Section 3.2 shall survive the removal of, or a resignation by, any Person as Trustee as well as the termination of this Base Indenture or any Series Supplement.

Section 3.3 Performance of Collateral Documents.

Upon the occurrence of a default or breach (after giving effect to any applicable grace or cure periods) by any Person party to (a) a Transaction Document or (b) a Franchise Document or other Collateral Document (only if a Manager Termination Event or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), promptly following a request from the Trustee to do so and at the Issuer’s expense, the Issuer agrees to take all such lawful action as permitted under this Base Indenture as the Trustee (acting at the direction of the Control Party (at the direction of the Controlling Class Representative)) may reasonably request to compel or secure the performance and observance by such Person of its obligations to the Issuer, and to exercise any and all rights, remedies, powers and privileges lawfully available to the Issuer to the extent and in the manner directed by the Trustee (acting at the direction of the Control Party (at the direction of the Controlling Class Representative)), including, without limitation, the transmission of notices of default and the institution of legal or administrative actions or proceedings to compel or secure performance

The Issuer shall pay, and indemnify and hold harmless each Secured Party against, any and all amounts in respect of all search, filing, recording and registration fees, taxes, excise taxes and other similar imposts that may be payable or determined to be payable in respect of the execution, delivery, performance and/or enforcement of the Indenture or any other Transaction Document.

Section 3.5 Authorization to File Financing Statements.

(a) The Issuer hereby irrevocably authorizes the Control Party on behalf of the Secured Parties at any time and from time to time to file or record in any filing office in any applicable jurisdiction financing statements and other filing or recording documents or instruments with respect to the Indenture Collateral to perfect the security interests of the Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties under this Base Indenture. The Issuer authorizes the filing of any such financing statement, document or instrument naming the Trustee as secured party and indicating that the Indenture Collateral includes (a) “all assets” or words of similar effect or import regardless of whether any particular assets comprised in the Indenture Collateral fall within the scope of Article 9 of the UCC, including, without limitation, any and all Securitization IP, or (b) as being of an equal or lesser scope or with greater detail. The Issuer agrees to furnish any information necessary to accomplish the foregoing promptly upon the Control Party’s request. The Issuer also hereby ratifies and authorizes the filing on behalf of the Secured Parties of any financing statement with respect to the Indenture Collateral made prior to the date hereof.

(b) The Issuer acknowledges that the Indenture Collateral may include certain rights of the Issuer as a secured party under the Transaction Documents.

Section 5.9 Establishment of Series Accounts; Legacy Accounts.

(a) Establishment of Series Accounts. To the extent specified in the Series Supplement with respect to any Series of Notes, the Trustee may establish and maintain one or more Series Accounts and/or administrative accounts of any such Series Account in accordance with the terms of such Series Supplement.

(b) Legacy Accounts. In the case of any mandatory or optional redemption in full of any Class, Subclass, Tranche or Series of Notes issued pursuant to this Base Indenture, on the Notes Discharge Date with respect to such Class, Subclass, Tranche or Series of Notes, the Issuer may (but is not required to) elect to have all or any portion of the funds held in any Legacy Account with respect to such Class, Subclass, Tranche or Series of Notes transferred to the applicable distribution account for such Class, Subclass, Tranche or Series of Notes, for application toward the prepayment of such Class, Subclass, Tranche or Series of Notes; provided that the foregoing shall not limit any provisions set forth in the applicable Series Supplement. If the Issuer does not elect to have such funds so transferred, or if the Issuer elects to have only a portion of such funds so transferred, any funds remaining in the applicable Legacy Account after the applicable Notes Discharge Date shall be deposited into the Collection Account for application in accordance with the Priority of Payments. When the balance of any Legacy Account has been reduced to zero, the Trustee may close such account. The Trustee shall make the distributions and transfers and shall close any accounts as contemplated by this Section 5.9 pursuant to instructions delivered by the Issuer to the Trustee.

(c) Deposits and Withdrawals from the Asset Disposition Proceeds Account. If any Securitization Entity disposes of property pursuant to a Permitted Asset Disposition or any other disposition not permitted under the terms of this Base Indenture, (i) to the extent the proceeds thereof do not constitute Asset Disposition Proceeds, as determined by the Manager, on behalf of the related Securitization Entity, such proceeds (net of the amounts described in clause (B) of the definition of “Asset Disposition Proceeds” and, in the case of Post-Issuance Acquired Assets only, further net of (without duplication of any amounts in such clause (B)) the original cost of acquisition of such asset, including reasonable and customary related

33

expenses) shall be treated as Collections with respect to the Quarterly Fiscal Period in which such proceeds are received; and (ii) to the extent the proceeds thereof constitute Asset Disposition Proceeds, as determined by the Manager, on behalf of the related Securitization Entity, such Asset Disposition Proceeds shall be promptly deposited to the Asset Disposition Proceeds Account. At the election of such Securitization Entity or the Manager on its behalf, the Securitization Entities may reinvest such Asset Disposition Proceeds in Eligible Assets within one (1) calendar year following receipt of such Asset Disposition Proceeds (or, if any Securitization Entity shall have entered into a binding commitment to reinvest such Asset Disposition Proceeds in Eligible Assets within one (1) calendar year following receipt of such Asset Disposition Proceeds, within eighteen (18) calendar months following receipt of such Asset Disposition Proceeds) and/or may utilize such Asset Disposition Proceeds to pay, or to allocate funds to the Asset Disposition Proceeds Account to reimburse the Securitization Entities for amounts previously paid, for investments in Eligible Assets made within the one (1) calendar year period prior to the receipt of such Asset Disposition Proceeds; provided that after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Rapid Amortization Period, (A) all amounts withdrawn from the Asset Disposition Proceeds Account shall be withdrawn substantially in accordance with a Quarterly Fiscal Period budget submitted to, and approved by, the Control Party (in consultation with the Back-Up Manager) prior to such withdrawal and (B) withdrawals of any amounts from the Asset Disposition Proceeds Account in excess in any material respect of amounts set forth in such Quarterly Fiscal Period budget will be subject to (i) the delivery by the Manager to the Control Party, the Trustee and the Back-Up Manager of an explanation in reasonable detail for the variance together with related information and (ii) the prior approval of the Control Party (in consultation with the Back-Up Manager). To the extent any Asset Disposition Proceeds have not been so reinvested in Eligible Assets within such one (1) calendar year period (or eighteen (18) calendar month period, as applicable) (each such period, an “Asset Disposition Reinvestment Period”), the Issuer (or the Manager on its behalf) shall instruct the Trustee in the Weekly Manager’s Certificate delivered for the Weekly Allocation Date immediately following the end of such Asset Disposition Reinvestment Period to withdraw an amount equal to all such un-reinvested Asset Disposition Proceeds on such immediately following Weekly Allocation Date and promptly deposit such amount to the Collection Account to be applied in accordance with priority (i) of the Priority of Payments on such Weekly Allocation Date and the related prepayment shall be made on the Quarterly Payment Date indicated in the Weekly Manager’s Certificate. In the event that such Securitization Entity has elected not to reinvest such Asset Disposition Proceeds (and such Asset Disposition Proceeds are not used to reimburse the Securitization Entities for amounts previously paid as set forth above), such Asset Disposition Proceeds shall be deposited to the Collection Account promptly following such decision (as indicated in the Weekly Manager’s Certificate delivered for the immediately following Weekly Allocation Date) and applied in accordance with priority (i) of the Priority of Payments on such Weekly Allocation Date and the related prepayment shall be made on the Quarterly Payment Date indicated in the Weekly Manager’s Certificate.

34

reimburse the Manager for any expenditures in connection with such repair or replacement and (ii) any Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds received in connection with the exercise of any non-temporary condemnation, eminent domain or similar powers exercised pursuant to any Requirements of Law may be reinvested in Eligible Assets. To the extent such Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds have not been so reinvested or otherwise applied in the manner described above within such one (1) calendar year period (or eighteen (18) calendar month period, as applicable) (each such period, a “Casualty Reinvestment Period”), the Issuer (or the Manager on its behalf) shall instruct the Trustee, in the Weekly Manager’s Certificate delivered for the Weekly Allocation Date immediately following the end of such Casualty Reinvestment Period, to withdraw an amount equal to all such un-reinvested Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds and promptly deposit such amounts to the Collection Account to be applied in accordance with priority (i) of the Priority of Payments on such immediately following Weekly Allocation Date and the related prepayment shall be made on the Quarterly Payment Date indicated in such Weekly Manager’s Certificate. In the event that such Securitization Entity has elected to not reinvest such Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds, it (or the Manager on its behalf) shall instruct the Trustee in the Weekly Manager’s Certificate delivered for the immediately following Weekly Allocation Date to withdraw such Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds and deposit such amounts to the Collection Account promptly following such decision to pay principal of each Series and/or Class of Notes Outstanding in accordance with priority (i) of the Priority of Payments on the immediately following Weekly Allocation Date and the related prepayment shall be made on the Quarterly Payment Date indicated in such Weekly Manager’s Certificate unless such amounts are used to reimburse any Securitization Entities or their Affiliates for amounts previously paid in respect of repairs or replacement of such assets with respect to which such Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds have been received.

(e) Deposits to the Collection Account. The Manager (or (i) with respect to clause (vi) below, the Trustee at the direction of the Issuer, or the Manager on its behalf or (ii) with respect to clause (viii), the Trustee or the Control Party) will deposit or cause to be deposited to the Collection Account the following amounts, in each case, promptly after receipt (unless otherwise specified below):

35

(vii) any other amounts required to be deposited to the Collection Account hereunder or under any other Transaction Document; and

(viii) amounts obtained by the Trustee or the Control Party on account of or as a result of the exercise by the Trustee or the Control Party of any of its rights under the Indenture, including, without limitation, under Article IX hereof, upon receipt thereof.

(f) Investment Income. On a weekly basis at or prior to 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on each Weekly Allocation Date, the Issuer (or the Manager on its behalf) (i) shall instruct the Trustee in writing to transfer any Investment Income on deposit in the Indenture Trust Accounts (other than the Collection Account) to the Collection Account and (ii) shall transfer any Investment Income on deposit in the Management Accounts to the Collection Account, in each case for application as Collections on that Weekly Allocation Date.

(g) Payment Instructions. In accordance with and subject to the terms of the Management Agreement, the Issuer shall cause the Manager to instruct (i) each Franchisee obligated at any time to pay Franchisee Payment Amounts to make such payment to the Concentration Account or the International Franchisee Payments Account and (ii) any Person (not an Affiliate of the Issuer) obligated at any time to make any payments with respect to the Securitization Assets, including, without limitation, the Securitization IP, to make such payment to the Concentration Account, the Collection Account or the International Franchisee Payments Account, as determined by the Issuer or the Manager.

(h) Misdirected Collections. The Issuer agrees that if any Collections shall be received by the Issuer or any other Securitization Entity in an account other than an Account or in any other manner, such monies, instruments, cash and other proceeds will not be commingled by the Issuer or such other Securitization Entity with any of their other funds or property, if any, but will be held separate and apart therefrom and shall be held in trust by the Issuer or such other Securitization Entity for, and, within one (1) Business Day of the identification of such payment, paid over to, the Trustee, with any necessary endorsement. The Trustee shall withdraw from the Collection Account any monies on deposit therein that the Manager certifies to the Trustee and the Servicer are not Retained Collections and pay such amounts to or at the direction of the Manager. All monies, instruments, cash and other proceeds of the Collateral received by the Trustee pursuant to the Indenture shall be immediately deposited in the Collection Account and shall be applied as provided in this Article V.

Section 5.12 Quarterly Payment Date Applications.

(a) Senior Notes Interest Payment Account.

(i) On each Quarterly Calculation Date, the Issuer (or the Manager on its behalf) shall instruct the Trustee in writing on the related Quarterly Payment Date to withdraw the funds allocated to the Senior Notes Interest Payment Account on each Weekly Allocation Date with respect to the immediately preceding Quarterly Fiscal Period (or, to the extent necessary to pay any Class A-1 Notes Interest Adjustment Amount, the then-current Quarterly Fiscal Period), and, if applicable, funds allocated to the Senior Notes Interest Payment Account pursuant to subclause (ii) below, to be paid for the benefit of the Senior Noteholders, up to the accrued and unpaid Senior Notes Quarterly Interest Amount due on such Quarterly Payment Date, sequentially in order of alphanumerical designation and pro rata among each Class of Senior Notes of the same alphanumerical designation based upon the amount of the Senior Notes Quarterly Interest Amount payable with respect to each such Class, and deposit such funds into the applicable Series Distribution Accounts. Amounts on deposit in the Senior Notes Interest Payment Account as of the Closing Date, if any, shall be deemed to be funds allocated to the Senior Notes Interest Payment Account during the first Quarterly Fiscal Period ending after the Closing Date.

(ii) If the amount of funds allocated to the Senior Notes Interest Payment Account referred to in subclause (i) is insufficient to pay the accrued and unpaid Senior Notes Quarterly Interest Amount due on such Quarterly Payment Date, then a Quarterly Reallocation Event pursuant to Section 5.12(p) shall be triggered and any funds reallocated as a result thereof into the Senior Notes Interest Payment Account shall be distributed in accordance with subclause (i) above. If such insufficiency is not eliminated following the reallocation of funds as set forth in Section 5.12(p), the Issuer (or the Manager on its behalf) shall instruct the Trustee in writing to withdraw an amount equal to any remaining insufficiency from first, the Senior Notes Interest Reserve Account to the extent of funds on deposit therein and second, from funds available to be drawn under any Interest Reserve Letter of Credit relating to the Senior Notes, and deposit such funds into the Senior Notes Interest Payment Account for further deposit to the applicable Series Distribution Accounts pursuant to subclause (i); provided that in the event that amounts on deposit in the Senior Notes Interest Reserve Account or funds available to be drawn under any Interest Reserve Letter of Credit relating to the Senior Notes are required to be withdrawn in connection with a Class A-1 Notes Quarterly Commitment Fees Amount insufficiency under Section 5.12(b)(ii), the amounts withdrawn under this Section 5.12(a)(ii) and under Section 5.12(b)(ii) shall be allocated ratably based on the respective insufficiencies towards which such amounts are required to be allocated.

40

(iii) If, as determined on any Quarterly Calculation Date, the amount equal to the excess of (i) the accrued and unpaid Senior Notes Quarterly Interest Amount for the Interest Accrual Period with respect to each Class of Senior Notes ending most recently prior to the next succeeding Quarterly Payment Date over (ii) the amount that will be available to make payments of interest on the Senior Notes in accordance with subclauses (i) and (ii) above on such Quarterly Payment Date, is greater than zero (a “Senior Notes Interest Accrual Shortfall Amount”), then in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Servicing Agreement, by 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day preceding such Quarterly Payment Date, the Servicer shall make a Debt Service Advance in such amount unless the Servicer notifies the Issuer, the Manager, the Back-Up Manager and the Trustee by such time that it has, reasonably and in good faith, determined such Debt Service Advance (and interest thereon) is a Nonrecoverable Advance or an Advance Suspension Period is then in effect. If the Servicer fails to make such Debt Service Advance (unless the Servicer has, reasonably and in good faith, determined that such Debt Service Advance (and interest thereon) would be a Nonrecoverable Advance or an Advance Suspension Period is then in effect), pursuant to Section 10.1(l), the Trustee shall make the Debt Service Advance unless it determines that such Debt Service Advance (and interest thereon) is a Nonrecoverable Advance or an Advance Suspension Period is then in effect; provided, further, for the avoidance of doubt, that if for any reason (other than the Servicer’s determination in accordance with the Servicing Agreement that such Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance) such Debt Service Advance is not made by the Servicer on or prior to such Quarterly Payment Date and such Senior Notes Quarterly Interest Amount has not been paid in full thereafter, whether due to the occurrence of an Advance Suspension Period or otherwise, such Debt Service Advance shall still be required to be made (following the cure of such Advance Suspension Period, if applicable). In determining whether any Debt Service Advance (and interest thereon) is a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Trustee may conclusively rely on the determination of the Servicer.

Where on any Quarterly Calculation Date the Issuer (or the Manager on its behalf) instructs the Trustee to withdraw funds from the Senior Notes Interest Reserve Account or the Senior Subordinated Notes Interest Reserve Account, as applicable, for allocation or payment on the following Quarterly Payment Date, such funds shall be drawn first, from the aggregate amount on deposit in the Senior Notes Interest Reserve Account or the Senior Subordinated Notes Interest Reserve Account (with the Manager instructing the Trustee in writing as to the Senior Notes Interest Reserve Account or Senior Subordinated Notes Interest Reserve Account from which such amounts shall be withdrawn), on such Quarterly Calculation Date and second, from amounts available to be drawn under any applicable Interest Reserve Letter of Credit.

(b) Each such Interest Reserve Letter of Credit (i) shall name the Control Party and the Trustee, each for the benefit of the Holders of the Senior Notes or the Holders of the Senior Subordinated Notes, as applicable, as the beneficiary thereof; (ii) shall allow the Trustee or the Control Party to submit a notice of drawing in respect of such Interest Reserve Letter of Credit whenever amounts would otherwise be required to be withdrawn from the Senior Notes Interest Reserve Account or the Senior Subordinated Notes Interest Reserve Account, as applicable, pursuant to Section 5.12; (iii) shall have an expiration date of no later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the then-current Class A-1 Notes Renewal Date (after giving effect to any extensions) specified in the related Class A-1 Note Purchase Agreement pursuant to which such Interest Reserve Letter of Credit was issued; and (iv) shall indicate by its terms that the proceeds in respect of drawings under such Interest Reserve Letter of Credit shall be paid directly into the Senior Notes Interest Reserve Account, the Senior Notes Interest Payment Account, the Senior Subordinated Notes Interest Reserve Account, the Senior Subordinated Notes Interest Payment Account, the Class A-1 Notes Commitment Fees Account or the applicable Series Distribution Account pursuant to Section 5.12, as applicable.

If the existing Interest Reserve Letter of Credit is amended, the Trustee and the Control Party shall be entitled to execute or acknowledge such amendment based solely on the written confirmation from the Manager as to the amount reflected in such amendment being at least equal difference between the Senior Notes Interest Reserve Amount or Senior Subordinated Notes Interest Reserve Amount, as applicable, and the amount on deposit in the Senior Notes Interest Reserve Account or Senior Subordinated Notes Interest Reserve Account, as applicable, and without the consent of any Noteholder, the Trustee, the Controlling Class Representative or any other Secured Party. If a replacement Interest Reserve Letter of Credit is provided, the Control Party shall (without the consent of any Noteholder, the Trustee, the Controlling Class Representative or any other Secured Party) deliver to the L/C Provider the replaced Interest Reserve Letter of Credit for termination simultaneously with the receipt by the Control Party of such replacement Interest Reserve Letter of Credit, in each case to the extent that after the Control Party’s receipt thereof, no Senior Notes Interest Reserve Account Deficit Amount or Senior Subordinated Notes Interest Reserve Account Deficit Amount, as applicable, will exist for the immediately following Weekly Allocation Date.

(c) If, on the date that is ten (10) Business Days prior to the expiration of any such Interest Reserve Letter of Credit, such Interest Reserve Letter of Credit has not been replaced or renewed and the Issuer has not otherwise deposited funds into the Senior Notes Interest Reserve Account or the Senior Subordinated Notes Interest Reserve Account, as applicable, in the amounts that would otherwise be required had such Interest Reserve Letter of Credit not been issued, the Control Party (on behalf of the Trustee) shall submit a notice of drawing under such Interest Reserve Letter of Credit and use the proceeds thereof to fund a deposit into the Senior Notes Interest Reserve Account or the Senior Subordinated Notes Interest Reserve Account as directed in writing by the Manager, in an amount equal to the Senior Notes Interest Reserve Account Deficit Amount or the Senior Subordinated Notes Interest Reserve Account Deficit Amount on such date, in each case calculated as if such Interest Reserve Letter of Credit had not been issued.

52

(d) If, on any day, (i) the short-term debt credit rating of any L/C Provider which has issued an Interest Reserve Letter of Credit is withdrawn by S&P or downgraded below “A-2” or (ii) the long-term debt credit rating of any L/C Provider is withdrawn by S&P or downgraded below “BBB” (each of cases (i) and (ii), an “L/C Downgrade Event”), then (a) on the tenth (10th) Business Day after the occurrence of such L/C Downgrade Event, the Control Party (on behalf of the Trustee) shall submit a notice of drawing under each Interest Reserve Letter of Credit issued by such L/C Provider and use the proceeds thereof to fund a deposit into the Senior Notes Interest Reserve Account or the Senior Subordinated Notes Interest Reserve Account (as directed in writing by the Manager), in an amount equal to the Senior Notes Interest Reserve Account Deficit Amount or the Senior Subordinated Notes Interest Reserve Account Deficit Amount on such date, in each case calculated as if such Interest Reserve Letter of Credit had not been issued or (b) prior to the tenth (10th) Business Day after the occurrence of such L/C Downgrade Event, the Issuer will obtain one or more replacement Interest Reserve Letters of Credit on substantially the same terms as each such Interest Reserve Letter of Credit being replaced.

If, at any time, any Management Account or any of the Senior Notes Interest Reserve Account, the Senior Subordinated Notes Interest Reserve Account, the Cash Trap Reserve Account, the Collection Account or any Collection Account Administrative Account shall cease to be an Eligible Account (each, an “Ineligible Account”), the Issuer shall (i) within five (5) Business Days of obtaining knowledge thereof, notify the Control Party thereof and (ii) within sixty (60) days of obtaining knowledge thereof, (A) establish, or cause to be established, a new account that is an Eligible Account in substitution for such Ineligible Account, (B) with the exception of any Management Account, following the establishment of such new Eligible Account, transfer, or, with respect to the Trustee Accounts maintained at the Trustee, instruct the Trustee in writing to transfer, all cash and investments from such Ineligible Account into such new Eligible Account, (C) in the case of a Management Account, following the establishment of such new Eligible Account, transfer, or cause to be transferred, all cash and investments from such Ineligible Account into such new Eligible Account, (D) in the case of a Management Account, transfer, or cause to be transferred, all items deposited in the lock-box related to such Ineligible Account to a new lock-box related to such new Eligible Account, and (E) pledge, or cause to be pledged, such new Eligible Account to the Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties and, if such Ineligible Account is required to be subject to an Account Control Agreement in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, cause such new Eligible Account to be subject to an Account Control Agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Control Party and the Trustee. In the event that any of the Collection Account, any Management Account or any Collection Account Administrative Account becomes an Ineligible Account, the Manager shall, promptly following the establishment of such related new Eligible Account, notify each Franchisee of a change in payment instructions, if any.

This Base Indenture and each of the other Transaction Documents to which each Securitization Entity is a party has been executed and delivered by a duly Authorized Officer of such Securitization Entity.

Section 7.3 No Consent.

Except as set forth on Schedule 7.3, no consent, action by or in respect of, approval or other authorization of, or registration, declaration or filing with, any Governmental Authority or other Person is required for the valid execution and delivery by the Issuer of this Base Indenture and any Series Supplement and by the Issuer and each other Securitization Entity of any Transaction Document to which it is a party or for the performance of any of the Securitization Entities’ obligations hereunder or thereunder, other than such consents, approvals, authorizations, registrations, declarations or filings (a) as shall have been obtained or made by such Securitization Entity on or prior to the Closing Date or as are permitted to be obtained subsequent to the Closing Date in accordance with Section 7.13 or Section 8.25, or (b) relating to the performance of any Franchise Document, Contributed Vendor Rebate Contract or New Vendor Rebate Contract the failure of which to obtain is not reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

No Securitization Entity has any contingent liability with respect to any post-retirement welfare benefits under a Welfare Plan, other than liability for continuation coverage described in Part 6 of Subtitle B of Title I of ERISA or other applicable continuation of coverage laws and other than as set forth on Schedule 8.14.

Except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, each such Employee Benefit Plan that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code is so qualified and nothing has occurred, whether by action or by failure to act, which would cause the loss of such qualification.

Section 7.7 Tax Filings and Expenses.

Each Securitization Entity has filed, or caused to be filed, all federal, state, local and foreign Tax returns and all other Tax returns which, to the knowledge of the Issuer, are required to be filed by, or with respect to the income, properties or operations of, such Securitization Entity (whether information returns or not), and has paid, or caused to be paid, all Taxes due, if any, pursuant to said returns or pursuant to any assessment received by any Securitization Entity or otherwise, except such Taxes, if any, as are being contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings and for which adequate reserves have been set aside in accordance with GAAP. As of the Closing Date, except as set forth on Schedule 7.7, the Issuer is not aware of any proposed Tax assessments against any Wingstop Entity. Except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, no tax deficiency has been determined adversely to any Securitization Entity, nor does any Securitization Entity have any knowledge of any tax deficiencies. Each Securitization Entity has paid all fees and expenses required to be paid by it in connection with the conduct of its business, the maintenance of its existence and its qualification as a foreign entity authorized to do business in each state and each foreign country in which it is required to so qualify, except to the extent that the failure to pay such fees and expenses is not reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 7.8 Disclosure.

All certificates, reports, statements, notices, documents and other information furnished to the Trustee or the Noteholders by or on behalf of the Securitization Entities pursuant to any provision of the Indenture or any other Transaction Document, or in connection with or pursuant to any amendment or modification of, or waiver under, the Indenture or any other Transaction Document, are, at the time the same are so furnished, complete and correct in all material respects (when taken together with all other information furnished by or on behalf of the Wingstop Entities to the Trustee or the Noteholders, as the case may be), and give the Trustee or the Noteholders, as the case may be, true and accurate knowledge of the subject matter thereof in all material respects, and the furnishing of the same to the Trustee or the Noteholders, as the case may be, shall constitute a representation and warranty by the Issuer made on the date the same are furnished to the Trustee or the Noteholders, as the case may be, to the effect specified herein.

Section 7.10 Regulations T, U and X.

The proceeds of the Notes will not be used to purchase or carry any “margin stock” (as defined or used in the regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, including Regulations T, U and X thereof) in such a way that could cause the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents to fail to comply with the regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, including Regulations T, U and X thereof. No Securitization Entity owns or is engaged in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any margin stock.

Section 7.11 Solvency.

Both before and after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the Indenture and the other Transaction Documents, (i) the fair value of the assets of the Securitization Entities, when taken as a whole, will exceed their debts and liabilities, including contingent liabilities; (ii) the present fair saleable value of the property of the Securitization Entities, when taken as a whole, will be greater than the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability of their debts and other liabilities as such debts and other liabilities become absolute and matured; (iii) the Securitization Entities, taken as a whole, do not intend to, and do not believe that they will, incur debts or liabilities beyond their ability to pay such debts and liabilities as they mature; and (iv) the Securitization Entities, taken as a whole, will not have unreasonably small capital with which to conduct the business in which they are engaged as such business is now conducted and is proposed to be conducted after the Closing Date, and no Event of Bankruptcy has occurred with respect to any Securitization Entity.

Section 7.13 Security Interests.

(a) The Issuer and each Guarantor owns and has good title to its Collateral, free and clear of all Liens other than Permitted Liens. This Base Indenture and the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement constitute a valid and continuing Lien on the Collateral in favor of the Trustee on behalf of and for the benefit of the Secured Parties, which Lien on the Collateral has been perfected and is prior to all other Liens (other than Permitted Liens), and is enforceable as such as against creditors of and purchasers from the Issuer and each Guarantor in accordance with its terms (except, in each case, as described on Schedule 8.11 and as subject to Section 7.13(b), Sections 8.25(c) and 8.25(d)), except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally or by general equitable principles, whether considered in a proceeding at law or in equity, or by an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing. Except as set forth in Schedule 8.11, the Issuer and the Guarantors have received all consents and approvals required by the terms of the Collateral to the pledge of the Collateral to the Trustee hereunder and under the Guarantee

(b) Other than the security interest granted to the Trustee hereunder, pursuant to the other Transaction Documents or any other Permitted Lien, none of the Issuer or any Guarantor has pledged, assigned, sold or granted a security interest in the Collateral. All action necessary (including the filing of UCC-1 financing statements) to protect and evidence the Trustee’s security interest in the Collateral in the United States has been or will be duly and effectively taken, including, without limitation, the actions required to be taken by the Issuer or Guarantors with respect to the Securitization IP set forth in Sections 8.25(c) and (d), subject in each case to Sections 7.13(a), 8.25(c) and 8.25(d), and except as described on Schedule 8.11. No security agreement, financing statement, equivalent security or lien instrument or continuation statement authorized by the Issuer or any Guarantor and listing the Issuer or such Guarantor as debtor covering all or any part of the Collateral is on file or of record in any jurisdiction, except in respect of Permitted Liens or such as may have been filed, recorded or made by the Issuer or such Guarantor in connection with a Contribution Agreement or in favor of the Trustee on behalf of the Secured Parties in connection with this Base Indenture and the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, and neither the Issuer or any Guarantor has authorized any such filing.

(c) All authorizations in this Base Indenture and the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement for the Trustee to endorse checks, instruments and securities and to execute financing statements, continuation statements, security agreements and other instruments with respect to the Collateral and to take such other actions with respect to the Collateral authorized by this Base Indenture and the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement are powers coupled with an interest and are irrevocable.

Section 7.14 Transaction Documents.

The Indenture Documents, the Account Agreements, the Depository Agreements and the other Transaction Documents required to be entered into as of such Series Closing Date are in full force and effect. There are no outstanding defaults thereunder nor have events occurred which, with the giving of notice, the passage of time or both, would constitute a default thereunder.

Section 7.15 Non-Existence of Other Agreements.

Other than as permitted by Section 8.22, (a) no Securitization Entity is a party to any contract or agreement of any kind or nature and (b) no Securitization Entity is subject to any material obligations or liabilities of any kind or nature in favor of any third party, including, without limitation, Contingent Obligations. No Securitization Entity has engaged in any activities since its formation (other than those incidental to its formation, the authorization and the issuance of any Series of Notes, the execution of the Transaction Documents to which such Securitization Entity is a party and the performance of the activities referred to in or contemplated by such agreements).

Section 7.16 Compliance with Contractual Obligations and Laws.

No Securitization Entity is in violation of (a) its Charter Documents, (b) any Requirement of Law with respect to such Securitization Entity or (c) any Contractual Obligation with respect to such Securitization Entity except, solely with respect to clauses (b) and (c), to the extent such violation could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

58

Section 7.17 Other Representations.

All representations and warranties of each Securitization Entity made in each other Transaction Document to which it is a party are true and correct (i) if qualified as to materiality, in all respects and (ii) if not qualified as to materiality, in all material respects (unless stated to relate solely to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct (x) if qualified as to materiality, in all respects, and (y) if not so qualified, in all material respects, as of such earlier date), and are repeated herein as though fully set forth herein.

All policies of insurance of the Securitization Entities are in full force and effect, and the Securitization Entities are in compliance with the terms of such policies in all material respects. None of the Securitization Entities has any reason to believe that it will not be able to renew its existing insurance coverage, in all material respects, as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage, in all material respects, from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its business at a cost that would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. All such insurance is primary coverage, all premiums therefor due on or before the date hereof have been paid in full, and the terms and conditions thereof are no less favorable to the Securitization Entities than the terms and conditions of insurance maintained by their Affiliates that are not Securitization Entities.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.7(d), the Issuer shall not, nor shall permit any other Securitization Entity to, take any action that would permit any Securitization Entity or any other Person party to a Transaction Document to have the right to refuse to perform any of its respective obligations under any of the Transaction Documents or that would result in the amendment, waiver, hypothecation, subordination, termination or discharge of, or impair the validity or effectiveness of, any Transaction Document.

(b) Except as otherwise provided in Section 3.2(a) or Section 8.7(d), the Issuer shall not, nor shall permit any other Securitization Entity to, take any action which would permit any other Person party to a Franchise Document, Contributed Vendor Rebate Contract or New Vendor Rebate Contract to have the right to refuse to perform any of its respective obligations under such Franchise Document, Contributed Vendor Rebate Contract or New Vendor Rebate Contract or that would result in the amendment, waiver, hypothecation, subordination, termination or discharge of, or impair the validity or effectiveness of, such Franchise Document, Contributed Vendor Rebate Contract or New Vendor Rebate Contract if such action when taken on behalf of any Securitization Entity by the Manager would constitute a breach by the Manager of the Management Agreement.

(c) The Issuer shall not, nor shall permit any other Securitization Entity to, without the prior written consent of the Control Party, except as otherwise provided hereunder (including in Section 3.2(a)), exercise any right, remedy, power or privilege available to it with respect to any obligor under a Collateral Document or under any instrument or agreement included in the Collateral, take any action to compel or secure performance or observance by any such obligor of its obligations to the Issuer or such other Securitization Entity or give any consent, request, notice, direction or approval with respect to any such obligor if such action when taken on behalf of any Securitization Entity by the Manager would constitute a breach by the Manager of the Management Agreement.

(d) The Issuer agrees that it will not, and will cause each Securitization Entity not to, without the prior written consent of the Control Party, amend, modify, waive, supplement, terminate or surrender, or agree to any amendment, modification, supplement, termination, waiver or surrender of, the terms of any of the Transaction Documents; provided, however, that the Securitization Entities may agree to any amendment, modification, supplement or waiver of any such term of any Transaction Document without any such consent (x) to the extent permitted under the terms of such other Transaction Documents, (y) with respect to any Indenture Document, as contemplated by Article XIII or (z) with respect to any Transaction Document that is not an Indenture Document, as follows:

(i) to add to the covenants of any Securitization Entity for the benefit of the Secured Parties, or to add to the covenants of any Wingstop Entity for the benefit of any Securitization Entity;

(ii) to terminate any such Transaction Document if any party thereto (other than a Securitization Entity) becomes, in the reasonable judgment of the Issuer, unable to pay its debts as they become due, even if such party has not yet defaulted on its obligations under such Transaction Document, so long as the Issuer enters into a replacement agreement with a new party within ninety (90) days of the termination of such Transaction Document;

(iii) to make such other provisions in regard to matters or questions arising under such Transaction Documents as the parties thereto may deem necessary or desirable, which are not inconsistent with the provisions thereof and which shall not materially and adversely affect the interests of any Noteholder, any Note Owner or any other Secured Party; provided that an Officer’s Certificate shall be delivered to the Trustee and the Servicer to such effect;

(iv) to make conforming changes related to the joinder or addition of Future Securitization Entities; or

The Control Party may conclusively rely on a Noteholder having granted consent to any amendment, modification, supplement, termination, waiver or surrender of, the terms of any of the Transaction Documents to the extent that such Noteholder has acquired Note(s) of a new Series with such amended terms and conditions.

Promptly after the effectiveness of any such amendment, modification, supplement or waiver, the Issuer shall send to the Trustee, the Servicer, the Back-Up Manager and each Rating Agency a copy of such consent or agreement, but the failure to do so shall not impair or affect its validity.

(b) The Issuer shall notify the Trustee, the Back-Up Manager and the Servicer in writing within fifteen (15) Business Days of knowing or having reason to know that any application or registration relating to any material Securitization IP (now or hereafter existing) may become abandoned or dedicated to the public domain, or of any material adverse determination or development (including the institution of, or any such determination or development in, any proceeding in the USPTO or USCO or any court but excluding office actions in the course of prosecution and any non-final determinations (other than in an adversarial proceeding) of the USPTO or USCO) regarding the validity of any Securitization Entity’s ownership of any material Securitization IP, its right to register the same, or to keep and maintain the same.

(c) The Issuer caused Wingstop Franchisor to execute, deliver and file, within fifteen (15) Business Days after the Original Closing Date, instruments substantially in the form of Exhibit C-1 hereto with respect to Trademarks, Exhibit C-2 hereto with respect to Patents and Exhibit C-3 hereto with respect to Copyrights, or otherwise in form and substance satisfactory to the Control Party, and any other instruments or documents as may have been reasonably necessary or, in the Control Party’s opinion, desirable to perfect or protect the Trustee’s security interest granted under this Base Indenture and the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement in the Trademarks, Patents and Copyrights included in the Original Closing Date Securitization IP that are registered in the United States under federal law. In addition to the foregoing, within fifteen (15) Business Days after the Original Closing Date, the Issuer caused Wingstop Franchisor to take all other actions necessary (including the filing of UCC-1 financing statements with respect to Trademarks and Patents) to protect and evidence the Trustee’s security interest in the Securitization IP registered in the United States under federal law pursuant to Section 7.13(b), subject to Sections 7.13(a), 8.25(c) and 8.25(d), and except as described on Schedule 8.11.

(e) In the event that any material Securitization IP is infringed upon, misappropriated or diluted by a third party in a manner that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, Wingstop Franchisor upon becoming aware of such infringement, misappropriation or dilution shall promptly notify the Trustee and the Control Party in writing. Wingstop Franchisor shall take all reasonable and appropriate actions, at its expense, to protect or enforce such Securitization IP, including, if reasonable, suing for infringement, misappropriation or dilution and seeking an injunction (including, if appropriate, temporary and/or preliminary injunctive relief) against such infringement, misappropriation or dilution, unless the failure to take such actions on behalf of Wingstop Franchisor by the Manager would not constitute a breach by the Manager of the Management Agreement; provided that if Wingstop Franchisor decides not to take any action with respect to an infringement, misappropriation or dilution that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, it shall deliver written notice to the Trustee, the Manager, the Back-Up Manager and the Control Party setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for its decision not to act, and none of the Trustee, the Manager, the Back-Up Manager or the Control Party shall be required to take any actions on its behalf to protect or enforce the Securitization IP against such infringement, misappropriation or dilution; provided, further, that the Manager shall be required to act if failure to do so would constitute a breach of the Managing Standard.

(f) With respect to licenses of third-party Intellectual Property entered into after the Original Closing Date by the Securitization Entities (including, for the avoidance of doubt, by the Manager acting on behalf of the Securitization Entities, as applicable), the Securitization Entities (or the Manager on their behalf) shall use commercially reasonable efforts to include terms permitting the grant by the Securitization Entities of a security interest therein to the Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties and to allow the Manager (and any Successor Manager) the right to use such Intellectual Property in the performance of its duties under the Management Agreement.

Section 8.30 Future Securitization Entities .

(a) Any of the existing Securitization Entities, in accordance with and as permitted under the Transaction Documents and upon prior written notice to each Rating Agency, may form or cause to be formed Future Securitization Entities from time to time following the Closing Date.

If the Issuer desires to create, incorporate, form or otherwise organize a Future Securitization Entity that does not comply with the immediately preceding sentence, the Issuer shall first obtain the prior written consent of the Control Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(c) The Issuer shall cause each Future Securitization Entity to promptly execute an assumption agreement in substantially the form set forth as Exhibit A to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement (each, an “Assumption Agreement”) pursuant to which such Future Securitization Entity shall become jointly and severally obligated under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement with the other Guarantors.

71

(d) Upon the execution and delivery of an Assumption Agreement as required in clause (c) above, any Future Securitization Entity party thereto shall become a party to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement with the same force and effect as if originally named therein as a Guarantor and, without limiting the generality of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, shall assume all obligations and liabilities of a Guarantor thereunder.

(e) The Issuer shall deliver, or shall cause the Manager to deliver, to each Rating Agency any Opinion of Counsel prepared in connection with the formation of any Future Securitization Entity.

Section 8.31 Tax Lien Reserve Amount. In the event a Tax Lien Reserve Amount is contributed to Funding Holdco, such amount will be contributed by Funding Holdco to the Issuer and held in an account in the name of the Trustee, solely in its capacity as the Trustee, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, as security for the obligation of the Securitization Entities to have the asserted lien released; provided that the Tax Lien Reserve Amount may only be released from such account as follows: (a) if evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Servicer is provided to the Trustee, the Servicer, the Manager, the Back-Up Manager and the Controlling Class Representative indicating that the related tax lien has been released, such amount will be withdrawn and paid according to the written instructions of the Issuer (or the Manager on its behalf); (b) all or a portion of such amount will be withdrawn and paid to the IRS on behalf of the Wingstop Entities upon the written instructions of the Issuer (or the Manager on its behalf); or (c) after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, or after the receipt by a Securitization Entity of notice that the IRS intends to execute on the related tax lien in respect of the assets of any Securitization Entity, all or a portion of such Tax Lien Reserve Amount may be withdrawn and paid to the IRS upon the written instructions of the Control Party (with notice of such payment to the Manager).

Section 8.32 Bankruptcy Proceedings.

The Issuer shall, and shall cause each other Securitization Entity to, promptly object to the institution of any bankruptcy proceeding against it and take all necessary or advisable steps to cause the dismissal of any such proceeding (including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, timely filing an answer and any other appropriate pleading objecting to (i) the institution of any proceeding to have any Securitization Entity, as the case may be, adjudicated as bankrupt or insolvent or (ii) the filing of any petition seeking relief, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition in respect of any Securitization Entity, as the case may be, under applicable bankruptcy law or any other applicable law).

74

(i) any Securitization Entity fails to perform or comply with any material provision of its organizational documents, any provision of Section 8.24 or any affirmative covenant in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement relating to legal separateness of the Securitization Entities, which failure is reasonably likely to cause the contribution of the Collateral to such Securitization Entity pursuant to the Contribution Agreements to fail to constitute a “true contribution” or other absolute transfer of such Collateral pursuant to the Contribution Agreements or is reasonably likely to cause a court of competent jurisdiction to disregard the separate existence of such Securitization Entity relative to any Person other than another Securitization Entity and, in each case, such failure continues for more than thirty (30) consecutive days following the earlier to occur of the Actual Knowledge of such Securitization Entity or written notice to such Securitization Entity from the Trustee, the Back-Up Manager or the Control Party (at the direction of the Controlling Class Representative) of such failure;

(o) the IRS files notice of a lien pursuant to Section 6323 of the Code with regard to the assets of any Securitization Entity and such lien has not been released within sixty (60) days, unless (i) the Manager or an Affiliate thereof has provided evidence that payment to satisfy the full amount of the asserted liability has been provided to the IRS, and the IRS has released such asserted lien within sixty (60) days of such payment, or (ii) such lien or the asserted liability is being contested in good faith and the Manager has caused to be contributed to the Securitization Entities funds in the amount necessary to satisfy the asserted liability (the “Tax Lien Reserve Amount”), which such funds are set aside and remitted to a collateral deposit account;

76

(c) Other Proceedings. If and when an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee, at the direction of the Control Party (subject to Section 11.4(e), at the direction of the Controlling Class Representative) shall take one or more of the following actions:

Section 9.4 Waiver of Appraisal, Valuation, Stay and Right to Marshaling. To the extent it may lawfully do so, the Issuer for itself and for any Person who may claim through or under it hereby:

(a) agrees that neither it nor any such Person will step up, plead, claim or in any manner whatsoever take advantage of any appraisal, valuation, stay, extension or redemption laws, now or hereafter in force in any jurisdiction, which may delay, prevent or otherwise hinder (i) the performance, enforcement or foreclosure of the Indenture or the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, (ii) the sale of any of the Collateral or (iii) the putting of the purchaser or purchasers thereof into possession of such property immediately after the sale thereof;

Section 9.5 Limited Recourse.

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Indenture, the Notes or any other Transaction Document or otherwise, the liability of the Securitization Entities to the Noteholders and any other Secured Parties under or in relation to the Indenture, the Notes or any other Transaction Document or otherwise, is limited in recourse to the Collateral. The proceeds of the Collateral having been applied in accordance with the terms hereof, none of the Noteholders or any other Secured Parties shall be entitled to take any further steps against any Securitization Entity to recover any sums due but still unpaid hereunder, under the Notes or under any of the other agreements or documents described in this Section 9.5, all claims in respect of which shall be extinguished.

Section 9.6 Optional Preservation of the Collateral.

If the maturity of the Outstanding Notes of each Series has been accelerated pursuant to Section 9.2 following an Event of Default, and such declaration and its consequences have not been rescinded and annulled, the Trustee, at the direction of the Control Party (acting at the direction of the Controlling Class Representative), shall elect to maintain possession of such portion, if any, of the Collateral as the Control Party (acting at the direction of the Controlling Class Representative) shall in its discretion determine.

Section 9.7 Waiver of Past Events.

Prior to the declaration of the acceleration of the maturity of each Series of Notes Outstanding as provided in Section 9.2 and subject to Section 13.2, the Control Party (at the direction of the Controlling Class Representative), by notice to the Trustee, each Rating Agency and the Servicer, may waive any existing Default or Event of Default described in any clause of Section 9.2 (except Section 9.2(d)) and its consequences; provided that, before any waiver may be effective, the Trustee and the Servicer must have received any reimbursement then due or payable in respect of unreimbursed Advances (including interest thereon) or any other amounts then due to the Servicer or the Trustee hereunder or under the other Transaction Documents; provided, further, that the Control Party shall provide written notice of any such waiver to each Rating Agency (with a copy to the Servicer). Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of the Indenture, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any

79

right consequent thereon. A Default or an Event of Default described in Section 9.2(d) shall not be subject to waiver without the consent of the Control Party (acting at the direction of the Controlling Class Representative) and each Noteholder. The Control Party (at the direction of the Controlling Class Representative), by notice to the Trustee, each Rating Agency, the Back-Up Manager and the Servicer, may waive any existing Potential Rapid Amortization Event or any existing Rapid Amortization Event; provided that a Rapid Amortization Event pursuant to clause (d) of Section 9.1 shall require the consent of each affected Noteholder of the applicable Series of Notes (or Class, Subclass or Tranche thereof) Outstanding that have not been (or, without such consent, will not otherwise be) repaid or refinanced in full on or prior to the respective Series Anticipated Repayment Date for such Series of Notes (or Class, Subclass or Tranche thereof) and that resulted (or without such consent, would otherwise result) in such occurrence of a Rapid Amortization Event.

Section 9.8 Control by the Control Party.

Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, the Control Party (subject to Section 11.4(e), at the direction of the Controlling Class Representative) may cause the institution of and direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding in respect of any enforcement of the Collateral, in respect of any enforcement of Liens on the Collateral or conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee and direct the exercise of any trust or power conferred on the Trustee; provided that:

(a) such direction of time, method and place shall not be in conflict with any rule of law, the Servicing Standard or the Indenture;

(b) the Control Party (at the direction of the Controlling Class Representative) may take any other action deemed proper by the Control Party (at the direction of the Controlling Class Representative) that is not inconsistent with such direction (as the same may be modified by the Control Party (at the direction of the Controlling Class Representative)); and

(c) such direction shall be in writing;

provided, further, that, subject to Section 10.1, the Trustee need not take any action that it determines might involve it in liability unless it has received an indemnity for such liability as provided herein.

Section 9.9 Limitation on Suits.

Any other provision of the Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, a Holder of Notes may pursue a remedy with respect to the Indenture or any other Transaction Document only if:

(a) the Noteholder gives to the Trustee, the Control Party and the Controlling Class Representative written notice of a continuing Event of Default;

(b) the Noteholders of at least 25% of the Aggregate Outstanding Principal Amount of all then Outstanding Notes make a written request to the Trustee, the Control Party and the Controlling Class Representative to pursue the remedy;

(c) such Noteholder or Noteholders offer and, if requested, provide to the Trustee, the Control Party and the Controlling Class Representative an indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee, the Control Party and the Controlling Class Representative against any loss, liability or expense;

(d) the Trustee does not comply with the request within sixty (60) days after receipt of the request and the offer and, if requested, the provision of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it;

(e) during such sixty (60) day period, the Majority of Controlling Class Members do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with the request; and

80

(f) the Control Party (at the direction of the Controlling Class Representative) has consented to the pursuit of such remedy.

A Noteholder may not use the Indenture or any other Transaction Document to prejudice the rights of another Noteholder or to obtain a preference or priority over another Noteholder.

Section 9.10 Unconditional Rights of Noteholders to Receive Payment.

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Note to receive payment of principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Note, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, is absolute and unconditional and shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of the Holder of the Note.

Section 9.11 The Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

The Trustee is authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel), the Noteholders and any other Secured Party (as applicable) allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer (or any other obligor upon the Notes), its creditors or its property, and shall be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claim, and any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Noteholder and each other Secured Party to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Noteholders or any other Secured Party, to pay the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 10.5. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 10.5 out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money and other properties which any of the Noteholders or any other Secured Party may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Noteholder or any other Secured Party any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Noteholder or any other Secured Party, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Noteholder or any other Secured Party in any such proceeding.

Section 9.12 Undertaking for Costs.

In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under the Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as a Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of any undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 9.12 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Noteholder pursuant to Section 9.9, a suit by the Control Party or a suit by Noteholders of more than 10% of the Aggregate Outstanding Principal Amount of all Series of Notes.

Section 9.13 Restoration of Rights and Remedies.

If the Trustee, any Noteholder or any other Secured Party has instituted any Proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under the Indenture or any other Transaction Document and such Proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Noteholder or other Secured Party, then and in every such case the Trustee and the Noteholders shall, subject to any determination in such proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee, the Noteholders and the other Secured Parties shall continue as though no such Proceeding had been instituted.

81

Section 9.14 Rights and Remedies Cumulative.

No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders of Notes or any other Secured Party is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right or remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given under the Indenture or any other Transaction Document or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy under the Indenture or any other Transaction Document, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

Section 9.15 Delay or Omission Not Waiver.

No delay or omission of the Trustee, the Control Party, the Controlling Class Representative, any Holder of any Note or any other Secured Party to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Potential Rapid Amortization Event, Rapid Amortization Event, Default or Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Potential Rapid Amortization Event, Rapid Amortization Event, Default or Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article IX or by law to the Trustee, the Control Party, the Controlling Class Representative, the Holders of Notes or any other Secured Party may be exercised from time to time to the extent not inconsistent with the Indenture, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee, the Control Party, the Controlling Class Representative, the Holders of Notes or any other Secured Party, as the case may be.

Section 9.16 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, that may affect the covenants or the performance of the Indenture or any other Transaction Document; and the Issuer (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantages of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, the Control Party or the Controlling Class Representative by relying on any such law, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

THE TRUSTEE

(a) If an Event of Default or a Rapid Amortization Event of which a Trust Officer of the Trustee shall have Actual Knowledge has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall (except in the case of the receipt of directions with respect to such matter from the Control Party in accordance with the terms of this Base Indenture or any other Transaction Document in which event the Trustee’s sole responsibility will be to await such directions and act or refrain from acting in accordance with such directions) exercise the rights and powers vested in it by this Base Indenture and the other Transaction Documents, and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise, as a prudent Person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such Person’s own affairs; provided that the Trustee will have no liability in connection with any action or inaction taken, or not taken, by it upon the deemed occurrence of an Event of Default, a Rapid Amortization Event, a Manager Termination Event or a Servicer Termination Event of which a Trust Officer has not received written notice; provided, further, that the Trustee will have no liability in connection with any action or inaction due to the acts or failure to act of

82

the Control Party or the Controlling Class Representative in connection with any Event of Default, Rapid Amortization Event, Manager Termination Event or Servicer Termination Event, or for acting or failing to act due to any direction or lack of direction from the Control Party or the Controlling Class Representative. The preceding sentence shall not have the effect of insulating the Trustee from liability arising out of the Trustee’s negligence, fraud, bad faith or willful misconduct. The Trustee agrees that it shall not exercise any rights or remedies available to it as a result of the occurrence of a Rapid Amortization Event or an Event of Default until after the Trustee has given prior written notice thereof to the Controlling Class Representative and the Control Party and has obtained the written direction of the Control Party (subject to Section 11.4(e), at the direction of the Controlling Class Representative). The Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the Trustee which are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any provision of the Indenture, shall examine them to determine whether they conform to the requirements of the Indenture; provided that the Trustee shall not be responsible for the accuracy or content of any resolution, certificate, statement, opinion, report, document, order or other instrument furnished by the Issuer under the Indenture.

(b) Except during the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default or a Rapid Amortization Event of which the Trustee shall have Actual Knowledge:

(i) the Trustee undertakes to perform only those duties that are specifically set forth in the Indenture or any other Transaction Document to which it is a party and no others, the Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in the Indenture or any other Transaction Document to which it is a party, and no other duties or implied covenants or obligations shall be read into the Indenture or any other Transaction Document against the Trustee; and

(ii) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of the Indenture and any other applicable Transaction Document; provided that, in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision of the Indenture are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine such certificates or opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of the Indenture and shall promptly notify the party of any non-conformity.

(c) The Trustee may not be relieved from liability for its own negligence, fraud, bad faith or willful misconduct, except that:

(i) this clause (c) does not limit the effect of clause (a) of this Section 10.1;

(ii) the Trustee will not be liable in its individual capacity for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Trust Officer, unless it is proven that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;

(iii) the Trustee will not be liable in its individual capacity with respect to any action it takes, suffers or omits to take in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Manager, the Issuer, the Control Party or the requisite Noteholders under the circumstances if such direction is required or permitted by the terms of the Indenture; and

(iv) the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any Default, Event of Default, Potential Rapid Amortization Event, Rapid Amortization Event, Manager Termination Event, Potential Manager Termination Event, Servicer Termination Event or the commencement and continuation of a Cash Trapping Period until such time as a Trust Officer of the Trustee shall have Actual Knowledge or shall have received written notice thereof, and in the absence of such Actual Knowledge or receipt of such notice the Trustee may conclusively assume that no such event has occurred or is continuing.

83

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Indenture or any of the other Transaction Documents, no provision of the Indenture or the other Transaction Documents shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties or exercise of its rights or powers hereunder or thereunder, if it has reasonable grounds for believing that the repayment of such funds or adequate security or indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it by the security afforded to it by the terms of the Indenture or the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement. The Trustee may refuse to perform any duty or exercise any right or power unless it receives indemnity satisfactory to it against any risk, loss, liability or expense.

(e) In the event that the Paying Agent or the Note Registrar shall fail to perform any obligation, duty or agreement in the manner or on the day required to be performed by the Paying Agent or the Note Registrar, as the case may be, under the Indenture, the Trustee shall be obligated as soon as practicable upon Actual Knowledge of a Trust Officer thereof and receipt of appropriate records and information, if any, to perform such obligation, duty or agreement in the manner so required.

(f) Subject to Section 10.3, all moneys received by the Trustee shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were received, but need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law or the Indenture or any of the other Transaction Documents.

(g) Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of the Indenture and the other Transaction Documents relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 10.1.

(h) The Trustee shall not be responsible (i) for the existence, genuineness or value of any of the Collateral, (ii) for the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the Liens in any of the Collateral, whether impaired by operation of law or by reason of any action or omission to act on its part hereunder, except to the extent such action or omission constitutes negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the Trustee, (iii) for the validity or sufficiency of the Collateral or any agreement or assignment contained therein, (iv) for the validity of the title of the Securitization Entities to the Collateral, (v) for insuring the Collateral or (vi) for the payment of Taxes, charges, assessments or Liens upon the Collateral or otherwise as to the maintenance of the Collateral, except as otherwise provided by Section 10.1(e). Except as otherwise provided herein, the Trustee shall have no duty to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms of the Indenture or the other Transaction Documents by the Securitization Entities.

(i) The Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the Indenture at the direction of the Servicer, the Control Party, the Controlling Class Representative or the requisite percentage of Noteholders, relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee under this Base Indenture or any other circumstances in which such direction is required or permitted by the terms of the Indenture.

(j) The Trustee shall have no duty (i) to see to any recording, filing or depositing of this Base Indenture or any agreement referred to herein or any financing statement or continuation statement evidencing a security interest, or to see to the maintenance of any such recording, filing or depositing or to any rerecording, refiling or redeposition of any thereof; (ii) to see to any insurance; (iii) except as otherwise provided by Section 10.1(e), to see to the payment or discharge of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge or any lien or encumbrance of any kind; or (iv) to confirm or verify the contents of any reports or certificates of the Manager, the Control Party, the Back-Up Manager or the Servicer delivered to the Trustee pursuant to this Base Indenture or any other Transaction Document believed by the Trustee to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties.

84

(k) The Trustee shall not be personally liable for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages arising out of, in connection with or as a result of the performance of its duties under the Indenture.

(l) (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10.1, the Trustee shall make Debt Service Advances to the extent and in the manner set forth in Section 5.12(a) hereof; provided that, notwithstanding anything herein or in any other Transaction Document to the contrary, the Trustee will not be responsible for advancing any principal on the Senior Notes, any make-whole prepayment consideration, any Series Hedge Payment Amounts, any Class A-1 Notes Administrative Expenses, any Class A-1 Notes Quarterly Commitment Fees Amounts, any post-renewal additional interest on the Class A-1 Notes, any Post-ARD Contingent Additional Interest or any reserve amounts or any interest or principal payable on, or any other amount due with respect to, the Senior Subordinated Notes or the Subordinated Notes; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the Trustee will not be required to make any Debt Service Advance in respect of any Class A-1 Notes Interest Adjustment Amount to the extent such Debt Service Advance would be duplicative of a Debt Service Advance already made with respect to such Quarterly Calculation Date.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, to the extent the Servicer fails to make an Advance to be made by it pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Servicing Agreement, no Advance shall be required to be made hereunder by the Trustee if (x) the Trustee determines such Advance (including interest thereon) would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance, (y) an Advance Suspension Period is then in effect or (z) the Manager elects to eliminate the obligation of the Trustee to provide Advances upon satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition. The determination by the Trustee that it has made a Nonrecoverable Advance, or that any proposed Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance, shall be made by the Trustee in its reasonable good faith judgment. The Trustee is entitled to conclusively rely on the determination of the Servicer that an Advance is or would be a Nonrecoverable Advance. Any such determination will be conclusive and binding on the Noteholders. The Trustee may update or change its nonrecoverability determination at any time, and may decide that a requested Advance that was previously deemed to be a Nonrecoverable Advance shall have become recoverable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all outstanding Advances made by the Trustee and any accrued interest thereon will be paid strictly in accordance with the Priority of Payments, even if the Trustee determines that any such advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance after such Advance has been made.

(iii) The Trustee shall be entitled to receive interest at the Advance Interest Rate accrued on the amount of each Advance made thereby (with its own funds) for so long as such Advance is outstanding. Such interest with respect to any Advance made pursuant to this Section 10.1(l) shall be payable out of Collections in accordance with the Priority of Payments pursuant to Section 5.11 hereof and the other applicable provisions of the Transaction Documents. Such interest will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months and will be due and payable in arrears on each Weekly Allocation Date.

(a) The Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting based upon any resolution, Officer’s Certificate, Opinion of Counsel, certificate, instrument, report, consent, order, document or other paper reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed by or presented by the proper person.

85

(b) The Trustee may consult with counsel of its selection and the advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon.

(f) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default or Rapid Amortization Event, the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts of matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or document, unless requested in writing so to do by the Noteholders of at least 25% of the Aggregate Outstanding Principal Amount of all then Outstanding Notes. If the Trustee is so requested or determines in its own discretion to make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it sees fit, the Trustee shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Securitization Entities, personally or by agent or attorney, at the sole cost of the Issuer, and the Trustee shall incur no liability by reason of such inquiry or investigation.

(g) The right of the Trustee to perform any discretionary act enumerated in this Base Indenture shall not be construed as a duty, and the Trustee shall be not be liable in the absence of negligence, fraud, bad faith or willful misconduct for the performance of such act.

The Trustee shall have no liability in respect of losses incurred as a result of the liquidation of any investment prior to its stated maturity or the failure of the Servicer or the Issuer to provide timely written investment direction.

(s) The Trustee shall have no obligation to calculate nor shall it be responsible or liable for any calculation of the DSCR, the Interest-Only DSCR or the Additional Notes DSCR.

(t) The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee, in each case, with respect to its capacities hereunder, and each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder.

87

(u) The Trustee shall be afforded, in each Transaction Document, all of the rights, powers, immunities and indemnities granted to it in this Base Indenture as if such rights, powers, immunities and indemnities were specifically set out in each such Transaction Document.

(v) For any purpose under the Transaction Documents, the Trustee may conclusively assume without incurring liability therefor that no Notes are held by any of the Securitization Entities, any other obligor upon the Notes, the Manager or any Affiliate of any of them unless a Trust Officer has received written notice at the Corporate Trust Office that any Notes are so held by any of the Securitization Entities, any other obligor upon the Notes, the Manager or any Affiliate of any of them.

(w) The Trustee shall not have any responsibility to make any inquiry or investigation as to, and shall have no obligation in respect of, the terms of an engagement of Independent Auditors by the Issuer (or the Manager on behalf of the Issuer) or the terms of any agreed upon procedures in respect of such engagement; provided that the Trustee shall be authorized, upon receipt of a Company Order directing the same, to execute any acknowledgment or other agreement with the Independent Auditors required for the Trustee to receive any of the reports or instructions provided herein, which acknowledgment or agreement may include, among other things, (i) acknowledgment that the Issuer had agreed that the procedures to be performed by the Independent Auditors are sufficient for the Issuer’s purposes, (ii) releases by the Trustee (on behalf of itself and the Holders) of claims against the Independent Auditors, and (iii) restrictions or prohibitions on the disclosure of information or documents provided to it by such firm of Independent Auditors (including to the Holders). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Trustee be required to execute any agreement in respect of the Independent Auditors that the Trustee reasonably determines adversely affects it.

Section 10.3 Individual Rights of the Trustee.

The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Securitization Entities or any Affiliate of the Securitization Entities with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Agent may do the same with like rights.

Section 10.4 Notice of Events of Default and Defaults.

If an Event of Default, a Default, a Rapid Amortization Event or a Potential Rapid Amortization Event occurs and is continuing and if the Trustee has Actual Knowledge thereof, or written notice of the existence thereof has been delivered to the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office, the Trustee shall promptly provide the Noteholders, the Servicer, the Manager, the Back-Up Manager, the Issuer, any Class A-1 Administrative Agent and each Rating Agency with notice of such Event of Default, Default, Rapid Amortization Event or Potential Rapid Amortization Event, to the extent that the Notes of such Series are Book-Entry Notes, by telephone and e-mail and otherwise by first class mail.

Section 10.5 Compensation and Indemnity.

(a) The Issuer shall promptly pay to the Trustee from time to time compensation for its acceptance of the Indenture and services hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents to which the Trustee is a party as the Trustee and the Issuer shall from time to time agree in writing. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Issuer shall reimburse the Trustee promptly upon request for all reasonable disbursements, advances and expenses incurred or made by it in addition to the compensation for its services in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture (including, without limitation, the Priority of Payments). Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and outside counsel. The Issuer shall not be required to reimburse any expense incurred by the Trustee through the Trustee’s own willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence. When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default or Rapid Amortization Event occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under the Bankruptcy Code.

88

(b) The Issuer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee or any predecessor Trustee and their respective directors, officers, agents and employees from and against any loss, liability, claim, expense (including taxes, other than taxes based upon, measured by or determined by the income of the Trustee or such predecessor Trustee), damage or injury suffered or sustained by reason of any acts, omissions or alleged acts or omissions arising out of or in connection with (i) the activities of the Trustee or such predecessor Trustee pursuant to this Base Indenture, any Series Supplement or any other Transaction Document to which the Trustee is a party and (ii) the security interest granted hereby, whether arising by virtue of any act or omission on the part of the Issuer or otherwise, including but not limited to any judgment, award, settlement, reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs or expenses reasonably incurred in connection with the defense of any actual or threatened action, proceeding, claim (whether asserted by the Issuer, the Servicer, the Control Party or any Noteholder or any other Person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder or under any other Transaction Document, the preservation of any of its rights to, or the realization upon, any of the Collateral, or in connection with enforcing the provisions of this Section 10.5(b); provided, however, that the Issuer shall not indemnify the Trustee, any predecessor Trustee or their respective directors, officers, employees or agents if such acts, omissions or alleged acts or omissions constitute willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence by the Trustee or such predecessor Trustee, as the case may be.

(c) The provisions of this Section 10.5 shall survive the termination of the Indenture and the resignation and removal of the Trustee.

Section 10.6 Replacement of the Trustee.

(a) A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee will become effective only upon the successor Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 10.6.

(b) The Trustee may, after giving not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Issuer, the Noteholders, the Servicer, the Manager, the Back-Up Manager, the Controlling Class Representative, each Class A-1 Administrative Agent and each Rating Agency, resign at any time from its office and be discharged from the trust hereby created; provided that no such resignation of the Trustee will be effective until a successor Trustee has assumed the obligations of the Trustee hereunder. The Control Party (at the direction of the Controlling Class Representative) or the Issuer may remove the Trustee by delivering written notice of such removal to the Trustee, or any Noteholder may, on behalf of itself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee, if at any time:

(i) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 10.8;

(ii) the Trustee becomes subject to Proceedings under any Insolvency Law;

(iii) the Trustee fails generally to pay its debts as such debts become due; or

(iv) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting.

If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of the Trustee for any reason, the Issuer shall promptly, with the prior written consent of the Control Party, appoint a successor Trustee. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Majority of Controlling Class Members (with the prior written consent of the Control Party) may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Issuer.

89

(c) If a successor Trustee is not appointed and an instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee is not delivered to the Trustee within thirty (30) days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, at the direction of the Control Party, the retiring Trustee, at the expense of the Issuer, may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

(d) If the Trustee after written request by the Issuer or by the Control Party at the direction of the Controlling Class Representative fails to comply with Section 10.8(b), the Issuer, the Control Party, the Servicer (if not the Control Party) or any Noteholder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

(e) A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Servicer and the Issuer. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee will become effective, and the successor Trustee will have all of the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Base Indenture, any Series Supplement and any other Transaction Document to which the Trustee is a party. The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to the Noteholders and each Class A-1 Administrative Agent. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, so long as all sums owing to the retiring Trustee hereunder have been paid. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 10.6, the Issuer’s obligations under Section 10.5 will continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.

(f) No successor Trustee may accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor is qualified and eligible under this Base Indenture, a Rating Agency Notification has been provided and the Control Party has provided its consent with respect to such appointment.

Section 10.7 Successor Trustee by Merger, etc.

Subject to Section 10.8, if the Trustee consolidates, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation, the successor corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee, so long as (i) written notice of such consolidation, merger or conversion shall be provided to the Issuer, the Servicer, the Noteholders and each Class A-1 Administrative Agent and (ii) the resulting or successor corporation is eligible to be a Trustee under Section 10.8(a).

Section 10.8 Eligibility Disqualification.

(a) There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder which shall (i) be a bank or trust company organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any state thereof authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trustee power, (ii) be subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority, (iii) have a combined capital and surplus of at least $250,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition, (iv) be reasonably acceptable to the Servicer and (v) have a long-term unsecured debt rating of at least “BBB+” by S&P.

(b) At any time the Trustee shall cease to satisfy the eligibility requirements of Section 10.8(a), the Trustee shall resign immediately after written request to do so by the Issuer or by the Control Party at the direction of the Controlling Class Representative.

Section 10.9 Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Base Indenture, any Series Supplement or any other Transaction Document, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Collateral may at the time be located, the Trustee shall have the power, upon notice to the Control Party, the Issuer and each Class A-1 Administrative Agent, and may execute and deliver all instruments, to appoint one or more Persons to act as co-trustee or co-trustees, or separate trustee or separate trustees, for all or any part of the Collateral, and to vest in such

90

Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the Noteholders and the other Secured Parties, such title to the Collateral, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 10.9, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. Any co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 10.8(a) or shall be otherwise acceptable to the Servicer. No notice to the Noteholders of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required under Section 10.6. No co-trustee shall be appointed without the consent of the Servicer and the Issuer unless such appointment is required as a matter of state law or to enable the Trustee to perform its functions hereunder.

(b) Every separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and conditions:

(i) the Notes of each Series (other than Uncertificated Notes) shall be authenticated and delivered solely by the Trustee or an authenticating agent appointed by the Trustee;

(ii) all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being understood that such separate trustee or co-trustee is not authorized to act separately without the Trustee joining in such act), except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed, the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to the Collateral or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed singly by such separate trustee or co-trustee, but solely at the direction of the Trustee;

(iii) no trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder, and such appointment shall not, and shall not be deemed to, constitute any such trustee or co-trustee as an agent of the Trustee; and

(iv) the Trustee may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee.

(c) Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Base Indenture and the conditions of this Article X. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Base Indenture, any Series Supplement and any other Transaction Document to which the Trustee is a party, specifically including every provision of this Base Indenture, any Series Supplement, or any other Transaction Document which the Trustee is a party relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee. Every such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee and a copy thereof given to the Servicer and the Issuer.

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

91

Section 10.11 Confidentiality.

(a) “Confidential Information” means trade secrets and other information (including, without limitation, know how, ideas, techniques, recipes, formulas, customer lists, customer information, financial information, business methods and processes, marketing plans, specifications, and other similar information as well as internal materials prepared by the owner of such information containing or based, in whole or in part, on any such information) that is confidential and proprietary to its owner and that is disclosed by one party to an agreement to another party thereto whether in writing or disclosed orally, and whether or not designated as confidential.

(b) The Trustee acknowledges that during the term of this Base Indenture it may receive Confidential Information in its capacity as Trustee from any Non-Securitization Entity, the Securitization Entities, the Manager and the Back-Up Manager. The Trustee agrees to use reasonable controls (but in all events at least the same degree of care and controls that the Trustee uses to protect its own confidential and proprietary information of similar importance) to maintain the Confidential Information in confidence and only use the Confidential Information for purposes of its duties under this Base Indenture, and will not, at any time, disseminate or disclose any Confidential Information to any person or entity other than those of its affiliates and its and their directors, officers, employees, agents, consultants or representatives who have a “need to know” such information in connection with this Base Indenture (collectively, the “Representatives”), and its applicable regulatory authorities and auditors. The Trustee shall inform its Representatives of these restrictions, shall be liable for any action, or use or disclosure of Confidential Information by its Representatives which would have constituted a breach of this Section 10.11 had such Representative been a party hereto and shall immediately notify the Manager in the event of any loss or disclosure of any Confidential Information. Confidential Information shall not include information that: (i) is already known to the Trustee without restriction on use or disclosure prior to receipt of such information from any Non-Securitization Entity, a Securitization Entity or other party to a Transaction Document; (ii) is or becomes part of the public domain other than by breach of this Base Indenture by, or other wrongful act of, the Trustee or any of its Representatives; (iii) is developed by the Trustee independently of and without reference to any Confidential Information; (iv) is received by the Trustee from a third party who is not under any obligation to any Non-Securitization Entity, any Securitization Entity or any other party to a Transaction Document to maintain the confidentiality of such information or (v) is required to be disclosed by applicable law, statute, rule, regulation, subpoena, court order or legal process; provided that the Trustee promptly notifies the Securitization Entities and the Manager of any such requirement and reasonably cooperates with the Securitization Entities and the

92

Manager to minimize the extent of any such disclosure. The duties hereunder shall survive termination of this Base Indenture and (A) for trade secret information, shall continue for as long as such information remains a trade secret under applicable law, and (B) for all other Confidential Information, shall continue for three (3) years after the term of this Base Indenture. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10.11, the disclosure of Confidential Information in accordance with the terms of any Transaction Document shall not be a violation of this Section 10.11.

(c) All books, records, documents, papers or other materials relating to any Non-Securitization Entity’s, any Securitization Entity’s or the Manager’s business, Intellectual Property, customers, suppliers, distributors, franchisees, products or projects received by the Trustee containing Confidential Information or other proprietary information or trade secrets of any Non-Securitization Entity, any Securitization Entity or the Manager, including any copies thereof, shall at all times be and remain the property of the applicable Non-Securitization Entity, Securitization Entity or the Manager, as the case may be, and shall be destroyed or returned immediately to the applicable Non-Securitization Entity, Securitization Entity or the Manager, as the case may be, upon termination of this Base Indenture, or earlier at the request of the applicable Non-Securitization Entity, Securitization Entity or the Manager; provided, however, that the Trustee may retain such limited media and materials containing Confidential Information for customary archival and audit purposes (including with respect to regulatory compliance) only for reference with respect to the prior dealings between the parties and subject to the confidentiality terms of this Base Indenture. Upon request, the Trustee shall provide an Officer’s Certificate attesting to the return and/or destruction of all materials containing any Non-Securitization Entity’s, any Securitization Entity’s or the Manager’s Confidential Information.

(d) Nothing in this Section 10.11 shall be construed as preventing any Non-Securitization Entity or any Securitization Entity, all of which shall be third-party beneficiaries of the rights arising under this Section 10.11, as applicable, from pursuing any and all remedies available to it for the breach or threatened breach of covenants made in this Section 10.11, including recovery of money damages for temporary or permanent injunctive relief.

ARTICLE XI

CONTROLLING CLASS REPRESENTATIVE AND CONTROL PARTY

Section 11.1 Controlling Class Representative.

(a) Within five (5) Business Days following a CCR Re-election Event, the Trustee shall deliver a written notice to the Controlling Class Members (with copies to the Manager and the Issuer) in the form of Exhibit F announcing an election of, and soliciting nominations of candidates for, the Controlling Class Representative (a “CCR Election Notice”). The Trustee shall post the written notice on its password-protected website at http://www.sf.citidirect.com and deliver the written notice (i) with respect to Book-Entry Notes through the Applicable Procedures of the Clearing Agency and (ii) with respect to Class A-1 Notes via email to each Class A-1 Administrative Agent.

Each Controlling Class Member shall be allowed to nominate itself or one Eligible Third-Party Candidate as a candidate for Controlling Class Representative (a “CCR Candidate”) (and shall not be permitted to nominate any other Person as a CCR Candidate) by submitting its nomination directly to the Trustee in writing in the form attached as Exhibit G (a “CCR Nomination”) within the period specified in the CCR Election Notice, which shall be five (5) Business Days from the date thereof (the “CCR Nomination Period”). A candidate does not have to be a Controlling Class Member, but if it is not a Controlling Class Member, it must certify that (i) it is an established enterprise in the business of providing credit support, governance or other advisory services to holders of notes similar to the Notes issued by the Issuer and (ii) not (w) a Competitor, (x) a Franchisee, (y) any of the certain disqualified Persons identified by the Manager to the Trustee on or before the Closing Date or (z) formed solely to act as the Controlling Class Representative (the candidate described in clauses (i) and (ii), an “Eligible Third-Party Candidate”). Each

93

Controlling Class Member nominating a CCR Candidate shall also be required to represent and warrant that, as of the date not more than ten (10) Business Days prior to the date of the CCR Election Notice (i) it was the Note Owner or Noteholder, as applicable, of the Outstanding Principal Amount of Notes of the Controlling Class specified in its CCR Nomination and (ii) the CCR Candidate is a Controlling Class Member or an Eligible Third-Party Candidate. CCR Nominations may be submitted by Controlling Class Members to the Trustee in pdf format via email at the email address for such purpose set forth in the CCR Election Notice, and no originals or medallion signature guarantees shall be required, and the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on, and shall be fully protected in relying on, CCR Nominations submitted in such manner. Each nomination shall include a contact for the CCR Candidate that will be available to answer any questions raised by a Noteholder or Note Owner. Such contact information shall be posted on the Trustee’s website.

(b) Based upon the CCR Nominations that are received by the Trustee by the last day of the CCR Nomination Period, (i) if no CCR Nomination has been received by the Trustee and there is no Controlling Class Representative, the Trustee shall notify the Manager, the Issuer, the Servicer and the Controlling Class Members that no CCR Nominations have been received and that no CCR Election shall be held, (ii) if one or more CCR Nomination has been received by the Trustee, the Trustee shall prepare and send to each applicable Controlling Class Member a ballot in the form of Exhibit H (the “CCR Ballot”) naming the top three candidates based upon the highest aggregate Outstanding Principal Amount of Notes of Controlling Class Members nominating such candidate (or, if fewer than three (3) candidates are nominated, the CCR Ballot shall list all candidates), or (iii) if no CCR Nomination has been received by the Trustee and there is a Controlling Class Representative at such time, the Person serving as the Controlling Class Representative shall be deemed re-elected and shall continue to serve as the Controlling Class Representative; provided that, for such nomination purposes, with respect to each Series of Class A 1 Notes Outstanding, the Class A 1 Notes Voting Amount shall be used in place of the Outstanding Principal Amount of such Notes. Each Controlling Class Member may, in its sole discretion, indicate its vote for a CCR Candidate in an election for a Controlling Class Representative (a “CCR Election”) by returning a completed CCR Ballot directly to the Trustee within three (3) Business Days of the date of the CCR Ballot (a “CCR Election Period”), certifying that, as of the date of the CCR Ballot (the “CCR Voting Record Date”), it was the owner or beneficial owner of the Outstanding Principal Amount of Notes of the Controlling Class specified by such Controlling Class Member in the CCR Ballot, and including a notarization or medallion signature guarantee. CCR Ballots may be submitted by Controlling Class Members to the Trustee in pdf format via email at the email address for such purpose set forth in the CCR Ballots.

(c) At the end of the CCR Election Period, the Trustee will tabulate the votes; provided that, for purposes of such tabulation of votes pursuant to this Section 11.1(c), with respect to each Series of Class A-1 Notes Outstanding, the Class A-1 Notes Voting Amount shall be used in place of the Outstanding Principal Amount of such Series. If both (i) the CCR Voting Amount is greater than or equal to the CCR Quorum Amount and (ii) a CCR Candidate receives votes representing in excess of 50% of the CCR Voting Amount, such CCR Candidate will be elected the Controlling Class Representative. Notes of the Controlling Class held by the Issuer or any Affiliate of the Issuer shall not be considered Outstanding for such voting purposes. If two CCR Candidates both receive votes from Controlling Class Members owning (or owning any beneficial interest) exactly 50% of the CCR Voting Amount, the Issuer (or the Manager on its behalf pursuant to the Management Agreement) shall select the Controlling Class Representative from among such CCR Candidates receiving votes from Controlling Class Members owning (or owning any beneficial interest) exactly 50% of the CCR Voting Amount. If either (i) no CCR Candidate receives votes representing at least 50% of the CCR Voting Amount or (ii) votes are submitted by less than the CCR Quorum Amount, the Trustee shall notify the Manager, the Securitization Entities, the Servicer, the Back-Up Manager, each Rating Agency and the Controlling Class Members that a Controlling Class Representative will not be elected and until a CCR Re-election Event occurs and a Controlling Class Representative is elected or selected pursuant to the terms set forth in this Article XI (i) the Control Party will exercise the rights of the Controlling Class Representative in accordance with the Servicing Standard and (ii) any deliverable or notice that is required to be provided to the Controlling Class Representative under a Transaction Document will be delivered to the Control Party.

94

(d) If a CCR Candidate is elected or chosen pursuant to Section 11.1(c), the Trustee shall forward an acceptance letter in the form of Exhibit I (a “CCR Acceptance Letter”) to the elected CCR Candidate for execution, pursuant to which the elected CCR Candidate shall (i) agree to act as the Controlling Class Representative, (ii) provide its name and contact information and permit such information to be shared with the Manager, the Securitization Entities, the Servicer (including in its capacity as Control Party), the Back-Up Manager, each Rating Agency and the Controlling Class Members and (iii) represent and warrant that it is a Controlling Class Member or an Eligible Third-Party Candidate. No elected CCR Candidate shall be appointed Controlling Class Representative unless such Person delivers a CCR Acceptance Letter to the Trustee within fifteen (15) Business Days of receipt thereof.

(e) Within two (2) Business Days of receipt of the CCR Acceptance Letter, the Trustee shall promptly forward copies thereof, or provide the new Controlling Class Representative’s name and address, to the Manager, the Securitization Entities, the Servicer, the Control Party, the Back-Up Manager, each Rating Agency and the Controlling Class Members.

(f) The prior Controlling Class Representative (if any) shall cease to be the Controlling Class Representative at the end of any CCR Election Period following a CCR Re-election Event (so long as a CCR Election is held at such time) unless it is re-elected as Controlling Class Representative after such CCR Election Period as described above, even if no candidate is elected as a successor Controlling Class Representative at the end of such CCR Election Period.

(g) The Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on, and shall be fully protected in all actions taken or not taken by it with respect to, (i) the email information provided by the applicable Class A-1 Administrative Agent and the Applicable Procedures of the Clearing Agencies (and the registered address of any Holders of Definitive Notes) for delivery of the CCR Election Notices and the CCR Ballots to Note Owners of Notes of the Controlling Class and (ii) the representations and warranties of the Persons submitting CCR Nominations, CCR Ballots and CCR Acceptance Letters. The Servicer (in its capacity as Servicer and Control Party) shall be entitled to rely on the identity of the Controlling Class Representative provided by the Trustee with respect to any obligation or right under the Indenture and the other Transaction Documents that the Servicer (in its capacity as Servicer and Control Party) may have to deliver information or otherwise communicate with the Controlling Class Representative or any of the Noteholders of the Controlling Class, with no liability to it for such reliance.

(h) Within two (2) Business Days of any other change in the name or address of the Controlling Class Representative of which the Trustee has received notice from the Controlling Class Representative, the Trustee shall deliver to each Noteholder, the Issuer, the Manager, the Back-Up Manager and the Servicer a notice setting forth the name and address of the new Controlling Class Representative.

(i) The Controlling Class Representative shall be entitled to receive from the Trustee, upon request, any memoranda delivered to the Trustee by the Back-Up Manager pursuant to the Back-Up Management Agreement; provided that it shall have first executed a confidentiality agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to the Manager, and such confidentiality agreement remains in effect. Any such memoranda shall be deemed to contain confidential information.

Section 11.2 Resignation or Removal of the Controlling Class Representative. The Controlling Class Representative may at any time resign by giving written notice to the Trustee, the Servicer and to each Noteholder of the Controlling Class. As of any Record Date, a Majority of Controlling Class Members shall be entitled to remove any existing Controlling Class Representative by

95

giving written notice to the Trustee, the Servicer and such existing Controlling Class Representative. No resignation or removal of the Controlling Class Representative will be effective until a successor Controlling Class Representative has been appointed pursuant to Section 11.1 or until the end of the CCR Election Period (or, if no CCR Election Period has occurred after a CCR Nomination Period, until the end of the related CCR Nomination Period) following such resignation or removal; provided that any Controlling Class Representative that has been removed pursuant to this Section 11.2 may subsequently be nominated as a CCR Candidate pursuant to Section 11.1 (provided that such Person satisfies the requirements of this Base Indenture) and appointed as Controlling Class Representative; provided, further, that an existing Controlling Class Representative will cease to be the Controlling Class Representative at the end of a CCR Election Period, even if no successor is re-elected pursuant to Section 11.1, unless such Controlling Class Representative is elected during such CCR Election Period (except that, if no CCR Nomination has been received by the Trustee and there is a Controlling Class Representative at such time, the Person serving as the Controlling Class Representative will be deemed re-elected and will continue to serve as the Controlling Class Representative). In addition to the foregoing, within two (2) Business Days of the selection, resignation or removal of the Controlling Class Representative, the Trustee shall notify the Servicer and the parties to this Base Indenture of such event.

Section 11.3 Expenses and Liabilities of the Controlling Class Representative.

(a) The Controlling Class Representative shall have no liability to the Noteholders or Note Owners for any action or omission taken or made in good faith pursuant to the Indenture or for errors in judgment; provided that the Controlling Class Representative shall not be protected against any liability that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, gross negligence or reckless disregard of its obligations or duties under the Indenture.

(iv) any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to this Section 13.2 that would change the time periods with respect to any requirement to deliver to Noteholders notice with respect to any repayment, prepayment or redemption shall require the consent of each affected Noteholder.

Section 13.3 Supplements.

Each amendment or other modification to the Indenture, the Notes or the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement shall be set forth in a Supplement, a copy of which shall be delivered to each Rating Agency, the Servicer, the Controlling Class Representative, the Manager, the Back-Up Manager and the

107

Issuer. The Issuer shall provide written notice to each Rating Agency of any amendment or modification to the Indenture, the Notes or the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement no less than ten (10) days prior to the effectiveness of the related Supplement, except in connection with the issuance of Additional Notes that will be rated by such Rating Agency; provided that such Supplement need not be in final form at the time such notice is given. The initial effectiveness of each Supplement shall be subject to the delivery to the Servicer and the Trustee of an Opinion of Counsel that such Supplement is authorized or permitted by this Base Indenture and the conditions precedent set forth herein with respect thereto have been satisfied. In addition to the manner provided in Sections 13.1 and 13.2, each Series Supplement may be amended as provided in such Series Supplement.

Section 13.4 Revocation and Effect of Consents.

Until an amendment or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Noteholder of a Note is a continuing consent by the Noteholder and every subsequent Noteholder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Noteholder’s Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note. Any such Noteholder or subsequent Noteholder, however, may revoke the consent as to their Note or portion of a Note if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date the amendment or waiver becomes effective. An amendment or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Noteholder. The Issuer may fix a record date for determining which Noteholders must consent to such amendment or waiver.

Section 13.5 Notation on or Exchange of Notes.

The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment or waiver on any Note thereafter authenticated. The Issuer, in exchange for all Notes, may issue and the Trustee shall authenticate new Notes that reflect the amendment or waiver. Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Note shall not affect the validity and effect of such amendment or waiver.

Section 13.6 The Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc.

The Trustee shall sign any Supplement or amendment authorized pursuant to this Article XIII if the Supplement or amendment does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. If it does, the Trustee may, but need not, sign it. In signing such Supplement or amendment, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, if requested, an indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it and to receive, and, subject to Section 10.1, shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Officer’s Certificate of the Issuer and an Opinion of Counsel as conclusive evidence that such Supplement or amendment is authorized or permitted by this Base Indenture and that all conditions precedent have been satisfied, and that it will be valid and binding upon the Issuer and the Guarantors in accordance with its terms.

Section 13.7 Amendments and Fees.

The Issuer, the Control Party and/or the Controlling Class Representative shall negotiate any amendments, waivers or modifications to the Indenture or the other Transaction Documents that require the consent of the Control Party or the Controlling Class Representative in good faith, and any consent required to be given by the Control Party or the Controlling Class Representative shall not be unreasonably denied or delayed.

(c) Any notice (i) given in person shall be deemed delivered on the date of delivery of such notice, (ii) given by first-class mail shall be deemed given five (5) days after the date that such notice is mailed, (iii) delivered by overnight air courier shall be deemed delivered one (1) Business Day after the date that such notice is delivered to such overnight courier, (iv) when posted on a password-protected internet website shall be deemed delivered after notice of such posting has been provided to the recipient and (v) delivered by e-mail shall be deemed delivered on the date of delivery of such notice.

110

(e) If the Issuer delivers a notice or communication to Noteholders, it shall deliver a copy to the Back-Up Manager, the Servicer, the Controlling Class Representative and the Trustee at the same time.

In any case where notice to a Noteholder is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Noteholder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Noteholders, and any notice which is mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given. Where the Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by any Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Noteholders shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver. In the case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to give such notice by mail, then such notification as shall be made that is satisfactory to the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder.

(g) Notwithstanding any other provision herein, for so long as WRI is the Manager, any notice, communication, certificate, report, statement or other information required to be delivered by the Manager to the Issuer, or by the Issuer to the Manager, shall be deemed to have been delivered to both the Issuer and the Manager if the Manager has prepared or is otherwise in possession of such notice, communication, certificate, report, statement or other information, and in no event shall the Manager or the Issuer be in breach of any delivery requirements hereunder for constructive delivery pursuant to this Section 14.1(g).

(h) The Issuer shall provide to each Rating Agency a copy of each Opinion of Counsel and Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee pursuant to any Transaction Document.

Section 14.7 Payment on Business Day.

In any case where any Quarterly Payment Date, redemption date or maturity date of any Note shall not be a Business Day, then (notwithstanding any other provision of the Indenture) payment of interest or principal (and premium, if any), as the case may be, need not be made on such date but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the Quarterly Payment Date, redemption date or maturity date; provided, however, that no interest shall accrue for the period from and after such Quarterly Payment Date, redemption date or maturity date, as the case may be.

Section 14.8 Governing Law.

THIS BASE INDENTURE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES (OTHER THAN SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK).

112

Section 14.9 Successors.

All agreements of the Issuer in the Indenture, the Notes and each other Transaction Document to which it is a party shall bind its successors and assigns; provided, however, that the Issuer may not assign its obligations or rights under the Indenture or any other Transaction Document, except with the written consent of the Control Party. All agreements of the Trustee in the Indenture shall bind its successors.

Section 14.10 Severability.

In case any provision in the Indenture, the Notes or any other Transaction Document shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

In the event that any such Noteholder or other Secured Party or the Trustee takes action in violation of this Section 14.13, each affected Securitization Entity shall file or cause to be filed an answer with the bankruptcy court or otherwise properly contesting the filing of such a petition by any such Noteholder or Secured Party or the Trustee against such Securitization Entity or the commencement of such action and raising the defense that such Noteholder or other Secured Party or the Trustee has agreed in writing not to take such action and should be estopped and precluded therefrom and such other defenses, if any, as its counsel advises that it may assert. The provisions of this Section 14.13 shall survive the termination of the Indenture and the resignation or removal of the Trustee. Nothing contained herein shall preclude participation by any Noteholder or any other Secured Party or the Trustee in the assertion or defense of its claims in any such proceeding involving any Securitization Entity.

Section 14.14 Recording of Indenture.

If the Indenture is subject to recording in any appropriate public recording offices, such recording is to be effected by the Issuer and at its expense.

EACH OF THE ISSUER AND THE TRUSTEE HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS BASE INDENTURE, THE NOTES, THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND THEREBY.

113

Section 14.16 Submission to Jurisdiction; Waivers.

Each of the Issuer and the Trustee hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:

(a) submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to the Indenture and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the non-exclusive general jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York, sitting in New York County, the courts of the United States for the Southern District of New York, and appellate courts from any thereof;

(b) consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same;

(c) agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to the Issuer or the Trustee, as the case may be, at its address set forth in Section 14.1 or at such other address of which the Trustee shall have been notified pursuant thereto;

(d) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right to sue in any other jurisdiction; and

Section 14.17 Calculation of Holdco Leverage Ratio and Senior Leverage Ratio.

(a) Holdco Leverage Ratio.

(i) In the event that the Wingstop Entities incur, repay, repurchase or redeem any Indebtedness subsequent to the commencement of the period for which the Holdco Leverage Ratio is being calculated, then the Holdco Leverage Ratio shall be calculated giving pro forma effect to such incurrence, repayment, repurchase or redemption of Indebtedness, as if the same had occurred at the beginning of the applicable preceding four Quarterly Fiscal Periods (including in the case of any incurrence or issuance, a pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom); provided that the Manager may elect pursuant to an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee and the Control Party (with respect to which the Trustee and the Control Party shall have no obligation of any nature whatsoever) to treat all or any portion of the commitment in respect of any Indebtedness (including all or a portion of the commitments under any acquisition debt financing commitment arrangement (including customary bridge-to-bond or bridge-to-securitization commitments) with respect to Indebtedness not yet incurred, for all purposes of this Section 14.1(a) and the Transaction Documents) as being incurred at such time, in which case any subsequent incurrence of Indebtedness under such commitment shall not be deemed, for purposes of this calculation, to be an incurrence at such subsequent time.

114

(ii) For purposes of making the computation of the Holdco Leverage Ratio (including, without limitation, the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA used therein), investments, acquisitions, dispositions, refranchising transactions, mergers, amalgamations, consolidations and discontinued operations (as determined in accordance with GAAP) and any operational changes, business realignment projects or strategic initiatives, intellectual property development, lease buyouts or early terminations, transition and integration of operations, moving of any headquarters or corporate office, any refranchising, store closures (including annualized cost savings and projected cost savings associated with stores designated for closure plus related field expense savings), operating improvements and cost saving initiatives (including headcount reductions), restructurings, reorganizations and other similar initiatives and transactions (collectively, “Specified Actions”) that any of the Wingstop Entities has either determined to make or made during the preceding four Quarterly Fiscal Periods or subsequent to such preceding four Quarterly Fiscal Periods and on or prior to or simultaneously with or subsequent to the event for which the calculation of the Holdco Leverage Ratio is made (each, for purposes of the calculations described in this Section 14.17(a), a “pro forma event”) shall, at the discretion of the Manager, be calculated on a pro forma basis assuming that all such Specified Actions (and the change in Adjusted EBITDA resulting therefrom) had occurred on the first day of such preceding four Quarterly Fiscal Periods. If since the beginning of such period any Person that subsequently became a Wingstop Entity since the beginning of such preceding four Quarterly Fiscal Periods shall have made any Specified Action that would have required adjustment pursuant to this definition, then the Holdco Leverage Ratio shall, at the discretion of the Manager, be calculated giving pro forma effect thereto for such period as if such Specified Action had occurred at the beginning of the applicable preceding four Quarterly Fiscal Periods.

For the avoidance of doubt, when calculating the Holdco Leverage Ratio in connection any commitment in respect of any Indebtedness relating to an acquisition, the Holdco Leverage Ratio shall, at the discretion of the Manager, be calculated on a pro forma basis giving effect to such acquisition and the other transactions to be entered into in connection therewith (including such incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds therefrom) as if they occurred at the beginning of the period of four (4) consecutive Quarterly Fiscal Periods most recently ended as of such date of determination; provided that (x) the Holdco Leverage Ratio shall not be tested again at the time of the consummation of such acquisition or related transactions and (y) any such transaction shall be deemed to have occurred on the date the definitive agreements are entered into for purposes of subsequently calculating the Holdco Leverage Ratio after the date of such agreement and before the consummation of such acquisition.

(iii) For purposes of this Section 14.17(a), whenever pro forma effect is to be given to any pro forma event, the pro forma calculations shall be made in good faith by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Manager. Any such pro forma calculation may include adjustments appropriate, in the reasonable good faith determination of the Manager as set forth in an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee and the Control Party (with respect to which the Trustee and the Control Party shall have no obligation of any nature whatsoever) to reflect (1) excess owner compensation, reasonably estimated, expected or actual cost savings (including, without limitation, “run rate” cost savings), operating improvements, operating expense reductions, synergies, integration costs and expenses and other pro forma adjustments, in each case reasonably expected to result from the applicable pro forma event and (2) all adjustments of the nature used in connection with the calculation of “Adjusted EBITDA” as set forth in the definition thereof, to the extent such adjustments, without duplication, continue to be applicable to such preceding four Quarterly Fiscal Periods.

115

(b) Senior Leverage Ratio.

(i) In the event that the Securitization Entities incur, repay, repurchase or redeem any Senior Notes subsequent to the commencement of the period for which the Senior Leverage Ratio is being calculated, then the Senior Leverage Ratio shall be calculated giving pro forma effect to such incurrence, repayment, repurchase or redemption of Senior Notes, as if the same had occurred at the beginning of the applicable preceding four Quarterly Fiscal Periods (including in the case of any incurrence or issuance, a pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom); provided that the Manager may elect pursuant to an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee and the Control Party (with respect to which the Trustee and the Control Party shall have no obligation of any nature whatsoever) to treat all or any portion of the commitment in respect of any Senior Notes (including all or a portion of the commitments under any acquisition debt financing commitment arrangement (including customary bridge-to-bond or bridge-to-securitization commitments) with respect to Senior Notes not yet issued, and the term “incur” and derivations thereof shall include the obtaining of any such commitment for such financing and any replacement or refinancing thereof for purposes of this Section 14.17(b) and the Transaction Documents) as being incurred at such time, in which case any subsequent issuance of Senior Notes under such commitment shall not be deemed, for purposes of this calculation, to be an incurrence at such subsequent time.

(ii) For purposes of making the computation of the Senior Leverage Ratio (including, without limitation, the calculation of Net Cash Flow used therein), Specified Actions that any of the Securitization Entities has either determined to make or made during the preceding four Quarterly Fiscal Periods or subsequent to such preceding four Quarterly Fiscal Periods (each, for purposes of the calculations described in this Section 14.17(b), a “pro forma event”) shall, at the discretion of the Manager, be calculated on a pro forma basis assuming that all such Specified Actions (and the change in Net Cash Flow resulting therefrom) had occurred on the first day of such preceding four Quarterly Fiscal Periods. If since the beginning of such period any Person that subsequently became a Securitization Entity since the beginning of such preceding four Quarterly Fiscal Periods shall have made any Specified Action that would have required adjustment pursuant to this Section 14.17(b), then the Senior Leverage Ratio shall, at the discretion of the Manager, be calculated giving pro forma effect thereto for such period as if such Specified Action had occurred at the beginning of the applicable preceding four Quarterly Fiscal Periods.

For the avoidance of doubt, when calculating the Senior Leverage Ratio in connection with any commitment in respect of any Senior Notes relating to an acquisition, the Senior Leverage Ratio shall, at the discretion of the Manager, be calculated on a pro forma basis giving effect to such acquisition and the other transactions to be entered into in connection therewith (including such incurrence of Senior Notes and the use of proceeds therefrom) as if they occurred at the beginning of the period of four (4) consecutive fiscal quarter periods most recently ended as of such date of determination; provided that (x) the Senior Leverage Ratio shall not be tested again at the time of the consummation of such acquisition or related transactions and (y) any such transaction shall be deemed to have occurred on the date the definitive agreements are entered into for purposes of subsequently calculating the Senior Leverage Ratio after the date of such agreement and before the consummation of such acquisition.

116

(iii) For purposes of this Section 14.17(b), whenever pro forma effect is to be given to any pro forma event, the pro forma calculations shall be made in good faith by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Manager. Any such pro forma calculation may include adjustments appropriate, in the reasonable good faith determination of the Manager as set forth in an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee and the Control Party (with respect to which the Trustee and the Control Party shall have no obligation of any nature whatsoever) to reflect (1) excess owner compensation, reasonably estimated, expected or actual cost savings (including, without limitation, “run rate” cost savings), operating improvements, operating expense reductions, synergies, integration costs and expenses and other pro forma adjustments, in each case reasonably expected to result from the applicable pro forma event and (2) all adjustments of the nature used in connection with the calculation of “Net Cash Flow” as set forth in the definition thereof, to the extent such adjustments, without duplication, continue to be applicable to such preceding four Quarterly Fiscal Periods.

Section 14.18 Permitted Asset Dispositions; Release of Collateral.

After the consummation of any Permitted Asset Disposition, all Liens with respect to such property created in favor of the Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties under this Base Indenture and the other Transaction Documents shall be automatically released, and, upon written request of the Issuer, the Trustee, at the written direction of the Control Party, shall execute and deliver to the Securitization Entities any and all documentation reasonably requested and prepared by the Securitization Entities at their expense to effect or evidence the release by the Trustee of the Secured Parties’ security interest in the property disposed of in connection with such Permitted Asset Disposition.

Each Noteholder, by its acceptance of its Note (or interest therein) acknowledges and agrees, that (i) the Notes are not guaranteed by, or subject to any credit support of, the Manager or any other Non-Securitization Entity and (ii) neither the Manager nor any other Non-Securitization Entity shall be liable in any respect for any Obligations. Furthermore, each Noteholder, by its acceptance of its Note (or interest therein) hereby waives any present or future right to assert, allege or claim that (i) the Notes are guaranteed by, or subject to any credit support of, the Manager or any other Non-Securitization Entity and (ii) the Manager or any other Non-Securitization Entity shall be liable in any respect for any Obligations.

Section 14.20 Indemnification Obligations.

For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any indemnification provisions in this Indenture providing that a party to this Indenture is required to indemnify another party to this Indenture for attorney’s fees and expenses, such fees and expenses are intended to include attorney’s fees and expenses relating to the enforcement of such indemnity (but only after a non-appealable final judgment or court order in favor of the indemnified party with respect to such indemnity or as agreed to by the related parties pursuant to the settlement or otherwise).

Section 14.21 Electronic Communications.

The Trustee (in each of its capacities) agrees to accept and act upon instructions or directions pursuant to this Indenture or any documents executed in connection herewith sent by unsecured email or other similar unsecured electronic methods, provided, however, that any person providing such instructions or directions shall provide to the Trustee an incumbency certificate listing persons designated to provide such instructions or directions (including the email addresses of such persons), which incumbency certificate shall be amended whenever a person is added or deleted from the listing. If such person elects to give the Trustee email (of .pdf or similar files) (or instructions by a similar electronic

117

method) and the Trustee in its discretion elects to act upon such instructions, the Trustee’s reasonable understanding of such instructions shall be deemed controlling. The Trustee shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from the Trustee’s reliance upon and compliance with such instructions notwithstanding such instructions conflicting with or being inconsistent with a subsequent written instruction. Any person providing such instructions or directions agrees to assume all risks arising out of the use of such electronic methods to submit instructions and directions to the Trustee, including without limitation the risk of the Trustee acting on unauthorized instructions, and the risk of interception and misuse by third parties.

Quarterly Payment Date in accordance with Section 5.12 of the Base Indenture, in the amount so made available, and failure to pay any Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Post-Renewal Date Additional Interest in excess of available amounts in accordance with the foregoing will not be an Event of Default and interest will not accrue on any unpaid portion thereof; provided that in any event all accrued but unpaid Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Post-Renewal Date Additional Interest shall be paid in full on the Series 2022-1 Legal Final Maturity Date or otherwise as part of any Series 2022-1 Final Payment by indicating the amount thereof on the related Quarterly Noteholders’ Report or otherwise in written instructions from the Manager to the Trustee.

From the Series 2022-1 Closing Date until the Series 2022-1 Class A-2 Outstanding Principal Amount has been paid in full, the Series 2022-1 Class A-2 Outstanding Principal Amount will accrue interest for each Interest Accrual Period (after giving effect to all payments of principal (if any) made to Series 2022-1 Noteholders as of the first day of such Interest Accrual Period, and also giving effect to prepayments, repurchases and cancellations of Series 2022-1 Class A-2 Notes during such Interest Accrual Period) at the Series 2022-1 Class A-2 Note Rate. Such accrued interest will be due and payable in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date, from amounts that are made available for payment thereof (i) on any related Weekly Allocation Date in accordance with the Priority of Payments and (ii) on such Quarterly Payment Date in accordance with Section 5.12 of the Base Indenture, commencing on the Initial Quarterly Payment Date; provided that in any event all accrued but unpaid interest shall be due and payable in full on the Series 2022-1 Legal Final Maturity Date, on any Series 2022-1 Prepayment Date with respect to a prepayment in full of the Series 2022-1 Class A-2 Notes or on any other day on which all of the Series 2022-1 Class A-2 Outstanding Principal Amount is required to be paid in full. To the extent any interest accruing at the Series 2022-1 Class A-2 Note Rate is not paid when due, such unpaid interest will accrue interest at the Series 2022-1 Class A-2 Note Rate. All computations of interest at the Series 2022-1 Class A-2 Note Rate shall be made on a 30/360 Day Basis.

(b) Series 2022-1 Class A-2 Quarterly Post-ARD Contingent Additional Interest.

(i) Post-ARD Contingent Additional Interest. From and after the Series 2022-1 Anticipated Repayment Date, if the Series 2022-1 Final Payment has not been made on the Series 2022-1 Class A-2 Notes, then additional interest (the “Series 2022-1 Class A-2 Quarterly Post-ARD Contingent Additional Interest”) will accrue on the Series 2022-1 Class A-2 Outstanding Principal Amount at an interest rate equal to the rate determined by the Manager to be the greater of (I) 5.0% per annum and (II) a per annum rate equal to the amount, if any, by which the sum of the following exceeds the Series 2022-1 Class A-2 Note Rate: (A) the yield to maturity (adjusted to a quarterly bond-equivalent basis) on the Series 2022-1 Anticipated Repayment Date of the United States Treasury Security having a term closest to 10 years, plus (B) 5.0%, plus (C) 1.88% (the “Series 2022-1 Class A-2 Quarterly Post-ARD Contingent Additional Interest Rate”).

The failure to pay any Series 2022-1 Class A-2 Quarterly Post-ARD Contingent Additional Interest in excess of available amounts in accordance with the foregoing (including on the Series 2022-1 Legal Final Maturity Date) will not be an Event of Default and interest will not accrue on any unpaid portion thereof; provided that in any event all accrued but unpaid Series 2022-1 Class A-2 Quarterly Post-ARD Contingent Additional Interest shall be due and payable in full on the Series 2022-1 Legal Final Maturity Date, on any Series 2022-1 Prepayment Date with respect to a prepayment in full of the Series 2022-1 Class A-2 Notes or otherwise as part of any Series 2022-1 Final Payment.

The Series 2022-1 Outstanding Principal Amount shall be due and payable on the Series 2022-1 Legal Final Maturity Date. The Series 2022-1 Outstanding Principal Amount is not prepayable, in whole or in part, except as set forth in the Base Indenture, this Section 3.6 and, in respect of the Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Outstanding Principal Amount, Section 2.2 and the Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Note Purchase Agreement.

(b) Series 2022-1 Anticipated Repayment Date; Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Notes Renewal Date. The Series 2022-1 Final Payment is anticipated to occur on the Quarterly Payment Date occurring in March 2029 (the “Series 2022-1 Anticipated Repayment Date”). The initial Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Notes Renewal Date will be the Quarterly Payment Date occurring in March 2027, unless extended as provided below in this Section 3.6(b).

(i) First Extension Election. Subject to the conditions set forth in Section 3.6(b)(iii), the Manager (on behalf of the Issuer) shall have the option on or before the Quarterly Payment Date occurring in March 2027 to elect (the “Series 2022-1 First Extension Election”) to extend the Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Notes Renewal Date to the Quarterly Payment Date occurring in March 2028 by delivering written notice to the Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Administrative Agent, the Trustee and the Control Party not later than the Quarterly Payment occurring in March 2027 to the effect that the conditions precedent to such Series 2022-1 First Extension Election have been satisfied. Subject to Section 3.6(b)(iii), upon delivery of such notice certifying that the conditions precedent to such Series 2022-1 First Extension Election have been satisfied, the Quarterly Payment Date occurring in March 2028 shall become the Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Notes Renewal Date.

(ii) Second Extension Election.

7

the Quarterly Payment occurring in March 2028 to the effect that the conditions precedent to such Series 2022-1 Second Extension Election have been satisfied. Subject to Section 3.6(b)(iii), upon delivery of such notice certifying that the conditions precedent to such Series 2022-1 Second Extension Election have been satisfied, the Quarterly Payment Date occurring in March 2029 shall become the Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Notes Renewal Date.

(iii) Conditions Precedent to Extension Elections. It shall be a condition to the effectiveness of the Series 2022-1 Extension Elections that, in the case of the Series 2022-1 First Extension Election, on the Quarterly Payment Date occurring in March 2027 or, in the case of the Series 2022-1 Second Extension Election, on the Quarterly Payment Date occurring in March 2028, that (a) the DSCR is greater than or equal to 2.00:1.00 (calculated as of the most recent Quarterly Calculation Date), (b) the rating assigned to the Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Notes by the Rating Agency has not been downgraded below “BBB” (or the structured finance equivalent) or withdrawn and (c) all Class A-1 Extension Fees shall have been paid on or prior to such Quarterly Payment Date. Any notice given pursuant to Section 3.6(b)(i) or (ii) shall be irrevocable; provided that if the conditions set forth in this Section 3.6(b)(iii) are not met as of the applicable extension date, the election set forth in such notice shall automatically be deemed ineffective; provided that if, notwithstanding the notice certifying the satisfaction of the relevant conditions set forth in this Section 3.6(b)(iii) for any extension, the conditions set forth in this Section 3.6(b)(iii) are not met as of the applicable extension date, the election set forth in such notice shall automatically be deemed ineffective and such extension shall automatically be deemed null and of no force and effect. For the avoidance of doubt, no consent of the Trustee, the Control Party, the Controlling Class Representative, the Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Administrative Agent, any Noteholder or any other Secured Party shall be necessary for the effectiveness of the Series 2022-1 First Extension Election or the Series 2022-1 Second Extension Election.

(c) Payment of Series 2022-1 Class A-2 Notes Scheduled Principal Payment Amounts. Series 2022-1 Class A-2 Notes Scheduled Principal Payment Amounts will be due and payable in accordance with the definition thereof on any applicable Quarterly Payment Date, commencing on the Quarterly Payment Date in September 2022 and prior to the Series 2022-1 Anticipated Repayment Date, as and when amounts are made available for payment thereof (i) on any related Weekly Allocation Date in accordance with the Priority of Payments, subject to the terms set forth in the Base Indenture; and (ii) on such Quarterly Payment Date in accordance with Section 5.12 of the Base Indenture, in the amount so made available, and failure to pay any Series 2022-1 Class A-2 Notes Scheduled Principal Payment Amounts in excess of available amounts in accordance with the foregoing will not be an Event of Default; provided that Series 2022-1 Class A-2 Notes Scheduled Principal Payment Amounts shall only be due and payable on a Quarterly Payment Date if the Series 2022-1 Class A-2 Non-Amortization Test is not satisfied for such Quarterly Payment Date (as measured on the related Series 2022-1 Non-Amortization Test Date); provided, further, that if the Series 2022-1 Class A-2 Non-Amortization Test is satisfied as of the related Series 2022-1 Non-Amortization Test Date for a Quarterly Payment Date, the Issuer may, solely at its option, exercised on the Quarterly Calculation Date with respect to such Quarterly Payment Date, prior to the Series 2022-1 Anticipated Repayment Date, pay all or any part of such Series 2022-1 Class A-2 Notes Scheduled Principal Payment Amounts on such Quarterly Payment Date in an amount not to exceed the Series 2022-1 Class A-2 Notes Scheduled Principal Payment Amount that would otherwise be due on such Quarterly Payment Date if the Series 2022-1 Class A-2 Non-Amortization Test was not satisfied. There will be no scheduled payment of principal of the Series 2022-1 Class A-2 Notes (and therefore the Series 2022-1 Class A-2 Non-Amortization Test will not be applicable) on the Initial Quarterly Payment Date.

(d) Certain Series 2022-1 Notes Mandatory Payments of Principal.

8

(i) During any Rapid Amortization Period, principal payments shall be due and payable on each Quarterly Payment Date on the applicable Classes of Series 2022-1 Notes as and when amounts are made available for payment thereof (i) on any related Weekly Allocation Date in accordance with the Priority of Payments and (ii) on such Quarterly Payment Date in accordance with Section 5.12 of the Base Indenture, in the amount so made available; provided, however, with respect to a Rapid Amortization Event pursuant to Section 9.1(d) of the Base Indenture, if the DSCR is greater than 2.00x as of the Series 2022-1 Anticipated Repayment Date, and the Series 2022-1 Class A-2 Notes are repaid or refinanced within one (1) calendar year from the Series 2022-1 Anticipated Repayment Date, such Rapid Amortization Event will no longer be in effect following such repayment or refinancing. Such payments shall be ratably allocated among the Series 2022-1 Noteholders within each applicable Class based on their respective portion of the Series 2022-1 Outstanding Principal Amount of such Class (or, in the case of the Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Noteholders, in accordance with the order of distribution of principal payments set forth in Section 4.02 of the Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Note Purchase Agreement).

(ii) During any Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Notes Amortization Period, principal payments shall be due and payable on each Quarterly Payment Date on the applicable Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Notes as and when amounts are made available for payment thereof (i) on any related Weekly Allocation Date in accordance with the Priority of Payments and (ii) on such Quarterly Payment Date in accordance with Section 5.12 of the Base Indenture, in the amount so made available. Such payments shall be allocated among the Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Noteholders, in accordance with the order of distribution of principal payments set forth in Section 4.02 of the Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Note Purchase Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, no Series 2022-1 Class A-2 Make-Whole Prepayment Consideration will be due in connection with any principal payments on the Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Notes.

(e) Series 2022-1 Class A-2 Make-Whole Prepayment Consideration Payments. In connection with (i) any mandatory prepayment of any Series 2022-1 Class A-2 Notes made with any Asset Disposition Proceeds pursuant to Section 3.6(h) or (ii) any optional prepayment of any Series 2022-1 Class A-2 Notes made pursuant to Section 3.6(f), in each case of clause (i) and (ii), made prior to the Quarterly Payment Date in the Target Month (the “Prepayment Consideration End Date”) (each, a “Series 2022-1 Class A-2 Prepayment”), the Issuer shall pay, in the manner described herein, the Series 2022-1 Class A-2 Make-Whole Prepayment Consideration to the Series 2022-1 Class A-2 Noteholders with respect to the principal portion of the Series 2022-1 Prepayment Amount.

For the avoidance of doubt, no Series 2022-1 Class A-2 Make-Whole Prepayment Consideration shall be payable in connection with any prepayment that is not a Series 2022-1 Class A-2 Prepayment, including (i) prepayments funded by Indemnification Amounts or Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds, (ii) any mandatory prepayment of principal of the Series 2022-1 Class A-2 Notes due to a Rapid Amortization Event, (iii) the payments of Series 2022-1 Class A-2 Notes Scheduled Principal Payment Amounts, Series 2022-1 Class A-2 Optional Scheduled Principal Payments and Series 2022-1 Class A-2 Notes Scheduled Principal Payment Deficiency Amounts, (iv) prepayments made with funds in the Cash Trap Reserve Account (other than optional prepayments of Senior Notes made with funds in the Cash Trap Reserve Account at the sole discretion of the Issuer in accordance with the CTOP Payment Priority, for which Series 2022-1 Class A-2 Make-Whole Prepayment Consideration will be payable), (v) prepayments pursuant to the EU/UK Applicable Investor Put Option and (vi) cancellations of Series 2022-1 Class A-2 Notes.

(f) Optional Prepayment of Series 2022-1 Class A-2 Notes. Subject to Sections 3.6(e) and 3.6(g), the Issuer shall have the option to prepay (including, without limitation, optional prepayments from the Cash Trap Reserve Account paid in accordance with the CTOP Payment Priority and prepayments with the proceeds of equity contributions) the Outstanding Principal Amount of the Series 2022-1 Class A-2 Notes in whole or in part on any Business Day that is specified as the Series 2022-1 Prepayment Date in the applicable Prepayment Notice (each, an “Optional Prepayment Date”); provided, that no such optional prepayment may be made unless the following conditions shall be satisfied:

(i) in the case of a prepayment of the Series 2022-1 Class A-2 Notes in part:

(A) the amount on deposit in the Series 2022-1 Class A-2 Distribution Account (including amounts to be transferred from the Cash Trap Reserve Account), together with the amount on deposit in the Senior Notes Principal Payment Account that is allocable to the Series 2022-1 Class A-2 Notes to be prepaid, is sufficient to pay the principal amount of the Series 2022-1 Class A-2 Notes to be prepaid and any Series 2022-1 Class A-2 Make-Whole Prepayment Consideration required pursuant to Section 3.6(e);

(B) the amounts on deposit in, or allocable to, the Series 2022-1 Class A-2 Distribution Account to be distributed on the Quarterly Payment Date which coincides with, or immediately follows, such Optional Prepayment Date, as the case may be, are sufficient to pay (in addition to the amounts described in clause (i)(A)) the Prepayment Condition Amounts on such Quarterly Payment Date; and

(C) if such prepayment is not made on a Quarterly Payment Date, the amounts on deposit in the Senior Notes Interest Payment Account allocable to the Series 2022-1 Class A-2 Notes, or other available amounts, are sufficient to pay all accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be prepaid on such Optional Prepayment Date; and

(ii) in the case of an optional prepayment of the Series 2022-1 Class A-2 Notes in whole:

(A) the amounts on deposit in the Indenture Trust Accounts, the Series 2022-1 Class A-2 Distribution Account (after giving effect to the applicable allocations set forth therein on such Optional Prepayment Date pursuant to Section 3.6(i)(iii)), or other available amounts, in each case allocable to the Series 2022-1 Class A-2 Notes, are sufficient to pay all outstanding monetary Obligations (including unreimbursed Advances with interest thereon at the Advance Interest Rate) in respect of the Series 2022-1 Class A-2 Notes, including unpaid interest accrued in respect of the period on and prior to such Optional Prepayment Date, and

(B) the amounts on deposit in the Collection Account, the Indenture Trust Accounts or otherwise available are reasonably expected by the Manager to be sufficient to pay the Prepayment Condition Amounts, other than with respect to the Series 2022-1 Class A-2 Notes, on the immediately following Quarterly Payment Date, if any, or are sufficient to pay such amounts on such Optional Prepayment Date, if such date is a Quarterly Payment Date,

or, in each case, any shortfalls in such amounts have been deposited to the applicable accounts.

10

(g) Notices of Prepayments.

(i) The Issuer shall give prior written notice (each, a “Prepayment Notice”) at least fifteen (15) Business Days but not more than twenty (20) Business Days prior to any Series 2022-1 Prepayment with respect to the Series 2022-1 Class A-2 Notes pursuant to Section 3.6(f) to each Series 2022-1 Noteholder affected by such Series 2022-1 Prepayment, the Rating Agency, the Servicer, the Control Party and the Trustee; provided that at the request of the Issuer, such notice to the affected Series 2022-1 Noteholders shall be given by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Issuer.

(ii) With respect to each such Series 2022-1 Prepayment, the related Prepayment Notice shall, in each case, specify (A) the Series 2022-1 Prepayment Date on which such prepayment will be made, which in all cases shall be a Business Day, (B) the Series 2022-1 Prepayment Amount and (C) if such Series 2022-1 Prepayment is subject to Series 2022-1 Class A-2 Make-Whole Prepayment Consideration, the Series 2022-1 Class A-2 Make-Whole Prepayment Consideration Calculation Date selected by the Issuer.

(iii) Any such optional prepayment and Prepayment Notice may, in the Issuer’s discretion, be subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, including but not limited to the occurrence of a Change of Control. The Issuer shall have the option to provide in any Prepayment Notice that the payment of the amounts set forth in Section 3.6(f) and the performance of the Issuer’s obligations with respect to such optional prepayment may be performed by another Person.

(iv) The Issuer shall have the option, by written notice to the Trustee, the Control Party, the Rating Agency and the affected Noteholders, to revoke, or amend the Series 2022-1 Prepayment Date set forth in, any Prepayment Notice relating to an optional prepayment at any time up to the second Business Day before the Series 2022-1 Prepayment Date set forth in such Prepayment Notice; provided that at the request of the Issuer, such notice to the affected Series 2022-1 Noteholders shall be given by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Issuer.

(v) For the avoidance of doubt, a Voluntary Decrease or a Subfacility Decrease in respect of the Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Notes is governed by Section 2.2 and not by this Section 3.6.

Any Indemnification Amounts, Asset Disposition Proceeds or Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds allocated to the Senior Notes Principal Payment Account in accordance with Section 5.11(i) of the Base Indenture shall be withdrawn from the Senior Notes Principal Payment Account in accordance with Section 5.12 (d) of the Base Indenture and deposited in the applicable Series 2022-1 Distribution Accounts and used to prepay first, if a Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Notes Amortization Period is continuing, the Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Notes (in accordance with the order of distribution of principal payments set forth in Section 4.02 of the Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Note Purchase Agreement) and second, the Series 2022-1 Class A-2 Notes (based on their respective portion of the Series 2022-1 Class A-2 Outstanding Principal Amount), on the Quarterly Payment Date indicated in the Weekly Manager’s Certificate. In connection with any prepayment made with Indemnification Amounts or Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds pursuant to this Section 3.6(h), the Issuer shall not be obligated to pay any Series 2022-1 Class A-2 Make-Whole Prepayment Consideration. The Issuer shall, however, be obligated to pay any applicable Series 2022-1 Class A-2 Make-Whole Prepayment Consideration required to be paid pursuant to Section 3.6(e) in connection with any prepayment made with Asset Disposition Proceeds pursuant to this Section 3.6(h); provided, for avoidance of doubt, that it shall not constitute an Event of Default if any such Series 2022-1 Class A-2 Make-Whole Prepayment Consideration is not paid because insufficient funds are available to pay such Series 2022-1 Class A-2 Make-Whole Prepayment Consideration, in accordance with the Priority of Payments.

11

(ii) On the Series 2022-1 Prepayment Date for each Series 2022-1 Prepayment to be made pursuant to Section 3.6(f) in respect of the Series 2022-1 Class A-2 Notes, the Trustee shall, in accordance with Section 6.1 of the Base Indenture (except that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary therein, references to the distributions being made on a Quarterly Payment Date shall be deemed to be references to distributions made on such Series 2022-1 Prepayment Date and references to the Record Date shall be deemed to be references to the Prepayment Record Date), distribute to the Noteholders of record on the preceding Prepayment Record Date on a pro rata basis, based on their respective portion of the Series 2022-1 Class A-2 Outstanding Principal Amount, the amount on deposit in the Series 2022-1 Class A-2 Distribution Account in order to pay (without duplication) (A) the applicable portion of the Series 2022-1 Class A-2 Outstanding Principal Amount and any applicable Series 2022-1 Class A-2 Make-Whole Prepayment Consideration with respect thereto, (B) in the case of an optional prepayment on a Series 2022-1 Prepayment Date that is not a Quarterly Payment Date, interest on such portion of the Series 2022-1 Class A-2 Outstanding Principal Amount being prepaid, and (C) in the case of an optional prepayment in whole, the outstanding monetary Obligations described in Section 3.6(f)(ii)(A), in each case due and payable on such Series 2022-1 Prepayment Date.

The delivery of any such instruction to the Trustee shall be deemed to be a certification from the Issuer or the Manager, as applicable, as to the satisfaction of such condition, on which the Trustee may conclusively rely.

12

SECTION 2.02 Advances.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Indenture, each Eligible Conduit Investor, if any, may, in its sole discretion, and if such Eligible Conduit Investor determines that it will not make (or it does not in fact make) an Advance or any portion of an Advance, its related Note Purchaser(s) may, in its sole discretion, and during a Temporary Commitment Availability Period, shall, or, if there is no Eligible Conduit Investor with respect to any Investor Group, the Note Purchaser(s) with respect to such Investor Group may, in its sole discretion, and during a Temporary Commitment Availability Period, shall, upon the Issuer’s request delivered in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.03, the satisfaction of all conditions precedent thereto (or under the circumstances set forth in Section 2.05) and, other than during a Temporary Commitment Availability Period with respect to its Note Purchaser TCAP Amount, the consent of the Administrative Agent and the agreement of all Investor Groups, to make a pro rata Advance of the amount requested by the Issuer, make Advances from time to time during the Commitment Term; provided that such Advances shall be made ratably by each Investor Group based on their respective Commitment Percentages and the portion of any such Advance made by any Note Purchaser in such Investor Group shall be its Note Purchaser Percentage of the Advances to be made by such Investor Group (or the portion thereof not being made by any Conduit Investor in such Investor Group); provided, further, that if, as a result of any Note Purchaser (a “Non-Funding Note Purchaser”) failing to make any previous Advance that such Non-Funding Note Purchaser had agreed to make, or during a Temporary Commitment Availability Period, was required to make, outstanding Advances are not held ratably by each Investor Group based on their respective Commitment Percentages and among the Note Purchasers within each Investor Group based on their respective Note Purchaser Percentages at the time a request for Advances is made, (x) such Non-Funding Note Purchaser shall make all of such Advances until outstanding Advances are held ratably by each Investor Group based on their respective Commitment Percentages and among the Note Purchasers within each Investor Group based on their respective Note Purchaser Percentages and (y) further Advances shall be made ratably by each Investor Group based on their respective Commitment Percentages and the portion of any such Advance made by any Note Purchaser in such Investor Group shall be its Note Purchaser Percentage of the Advances to be made by such Investor Group (or the portion thereof not being made by any Conduit Investor in such Investor Group); provided, further, that the failure of a Non-Funding Note Purchaser to make Advances pursuant to the immediately preceding proviso shall not, subject to the immediately following proviso, relieve any other Note Purchaser of its obligation hereunder, if any, to make Advances in accordance with Section 2.03(b)(i); provided, further, that, subject, in the case of clause (i) below, to Section 2.03(b)(ii), no Advance shall be required or permitted to be made by any Investor on any date to the extent that, after giving effect to such Advance, (i) the related Investor Group Principal Amount would exceed the related Maximum Investor Group Principal Amount or (ii) the Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Outstanding Principal Amount would exceed the Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Notes Maximum Principal Amount.

(b) Notwithstanding anything herein or in any other Transaction Document to the contrary, at no time will an Investor be obligated to make Advances hereunder, other than, with respect to a Note Purchaser either (x) during a Temporary Commitment Availability Period or (y) unless it has already agreed to do so in accordance with Section 2.02(a). If at any time any Conduit Investor is not an Eligible Conduit Investor, such Conduit Investor shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent (who shall promptly notify the related Funding Agent and the Issuer) thereof.

(c) Each of the Advances to be made on any date shall be made as part of a single borrowing (each such single borrowing being a “Borrowing”). The Advances made as part of the initial Borrowing on or after the Series 2022-1 Closing Date, if any, will be evidenced by the Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Advance Notes issued in connection herewith and will constitute purchases of Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Initial Advance Principal Amounts corresponding to the amount of such Advances. All of the other Advances will constitute Increases evidenced by the Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Advance Notes issued in connection herewith and will constitute purchases of Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Outstanding Principal Amounts corresponding to the amount of such Advances.

3

(d) Section 2.2(b) of the Series 2022-1 Supplement specifies the procedures to be followed in connection with any Voluntary Decrease of the Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Outstanding Principal Amount. Each such Voluntary Decrease in respect of any Advances shall be either (i) in an aggregate minimum principal amount of $200,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof or (ii) in such other amount necessary to reduce the Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Outstanding Principal Amount to zero.

(e) Subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Series 2022-1 Supplement, the aggregate principal amount of the Advances evidenced by the Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Advance Notes may be increased by Borrowings or decreased by Voluntary Decreases from time to time.

(f) At any time that the aggregate Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Outstanding Principal Amount attributable to each Investor Group is not held pro rata based on its respective Commitment Percentage (as a result of the issuance of any Letter of Credit or otherwise), the Investor Groups (and the Investors within each such Investor Group) shall at the direction of the Administrative Agent, reallocate any outstanding Advances to ensure that the aggregate Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Outstanding Principal Amount attributable to each Investor Group is pro rata based on its respective Commitment Percentage; provided that the Issuer shall not be liable for any Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Breakage Amounts resulting solely from any such reallocations.

(g) The Administrative Agent shall provide the Issuer, the Manager and the Trustee timely notice of non-ratable allocations pursuant to Section 2.02(a) and of any reallocations of Advances pursuant to Section 2.02(f) (which notice requirements may be satisfied through the delivery of the monthly invoice and Letter of Credit report delivered by the Administrative Agent from time to time); provided, that the failure to provide such notice shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Issuer under this Agreement or the Indenture with respect thereto. The Issuer and the Manager shall not be responsible for any failure to reflect such allocations or reallocations in any Weekly Manager’s Certificate or Quarterly Noteholders’ Report, or for any payments inconsistent with such allocations or reallocations, until such notice is provided as set forth in this clause (g), including in connection with any Mandatory Decrease, Voluntary Decrease or prepayment of any other Tranche, Class or Series of Notes under the Indenture.

(h) It is agreed that any Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Breakage Amounts shall occur with respect to the applicable Advance closest to maturity.

(a) Whenever the Issuer wishes to make a Borrowing, the Issuer shall (or shall cause the Manager on its behalf to) notify the Administrative Agent (who shall promptly, and in any event by 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the same Business Day as its receipt of the same, notify each Funding Agent of its proposed pro rata share thereof (or other share pursuant to Section 2.02(a)) and notify the Trustee, the Control Party and the L/C Provider in writing of such Borrowing) by written notice in the form of an Advance Request delivered to the Administrative Agent no later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) up to ten (10) Business Days, but not fewer than two (2) Business Days (or, in the case of any SOFR Advances for purposes of Section 3.01(b), up to ten (10) Business Days, but not fewer two (2) U.S. Government Securities Business Days), prior to the date of such Borrowing (unless a shorter period is agreed upon by the Administrative Agent and the L/C Provider, the L/C Issuing Bank, or the Funding Agents, as applicable), which date of Borrowing shall be a Business Day during the Commitment Term. Each such notice by Issuer shall be irrevocable and shall in each case refer to this Agreement and specify (i) the Borrowing date, (ii) the aggregate amount of the requested Borrowing to be made on such date, (iii) the amount of outstanding Unreimbursed L/C Drawings (if applicable) to be repaid with the proceeds of

4

such Borrowing on the Borrowing date, which amount shall constitute all outstanding Unreimbursed L/C Drawings outstanding on the date of such notice that are not prepaid with other funds of the Issuer available for such purpose, and (iv) sufficient instructions for application of the balance, if any, of the proceeds of such Borrowing on the Borrowing date (which proceeds shall be made available to the Issuer). Requests for any Borrowing may not be made in an aggregate principal amount of less than $100,000 or in an aggregate principal amount that is not an integral multiple of $50,000 in excess thereof (or in each case such other amount as agreed to by the Administrative Agent), except as otherwise provided herein with respect to Borrowings for the purpose of repaying then-outstanding Unreimbursed L/C Drawings. Subject to the provisos to Section 2.02(a), each Borrowing shall be ratably allocated among the Investor Groups’ respective Maximum Investor Group Principal Amounts. Each Funding Agent shall promptly advise its related Investors, of any notice given pursuant to this Section 2.03(a) and shall promptly thereafter (but in no event later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the proposed date of Borrowing) notify the Administrative Agent, the Issuer and the related Note Purchaser(s) whether such Investor has determined to make all or any portion of the Advances in such Borrowing that are to be made by its Investor Group. On the date of such Borrowing and subject to the other conditions set forth herein and in the Series 2022-1 Supplement (and, if requested by the Administrative Agent, confirmation from the L/C Provider as to (x) the amount of outstanding Unreimbursed L/C Drawings to be repaid with the proceeds of such Borrowing on the Borrowing date, (y) the Undrawn L/C Face Amount of all Letters of Credit then outstanding and (z) the principal amount of any other Unreimbursed L/C Drawings then outstanding), and other than during a Temporary Commitment Availability Period, solely to the extent the Administrative Agent and all Investor Groups have agreed, each in its sole discretion, to the requested Borrowing, then, the applicable Investors in each Investor Group shall make available to the Administrative Agent the amount of the Advances in such Borrowing that are to be made by such Investor Group by wire transfer in U.S. Dollars of such amount in same day funds no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) (or such later time as the Administrative Agent may agree to in its sole discretion on the date of any Borrowing) on the date of such Borrowing, and upon receipt thereof the Administrative Agent shall make such proceeds available by 3:00 p.m. (New York City time)], first, if applicable, and to the L/C Provider for application to repayment of the amount of outstanding Unreimbursed L/C Drawings as set forth in the applicable Advance Request, ratably in proportion to such respective amounts, and/or, second, to the Issuer, as instructed in the applicable Advance Request.

(b) (i) The failure of any Note Purchaser to make the Advance to be made by it as part of any Borrowing that it had agreed to make, or during a Temporary Commitment Availability Period, was required to make, shall not relieve any other Note Purchaser (whether or not in the same Investor Group) of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Advance on the date of such Borrowing, but no Note Purchaser shall be responsible for the failure of any other Note Purchaser to make the Advance to be made by such other Note Purchaser on the date of any Borrowing and (ii) in the event that one or more Note Purchasers fails to make its Advance by 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) (or such later time as the Administrative Agent may agree to in its sole discretion on the date of any Borrowing) that it had agreed to make, or during a Temporary Commitment Availability Period, was required to make, on the date of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall notify each of the other Note Purchasers not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such date, and each of the other Note Purchasers may, in its sole discretion, make available to the Administrative Agent a supplemental Advance in a principal amount (such amount, the “reference amount”) equal to the lesser of (a) the aggregate principal Advance that was unfunded multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Maximum Commitment Amount of such Note Purchaser and the denominator of which is the aggregate Maximum Commitment Amounts of all Note Purchasers (less the aggregate Maximum Commitment Amount of the Note Purchasers failing to make Advances on such date) and (b) the excess of (i) such Note Purchaser’s Maximum Commitment Amount over (ii) the product of such Note Purchaser’s related Investor Group Principal Amount multiplied by such Note Purchaser’s Note Purchaser Percentage (after giving effect to all prior Advances on such date of Borrowing) (provided that a Note Purchaser may (but shall not be obligated to), on terms and conditions to

5

be agreed upon by such Note Purchaser and the Issuer, make available to the Administrative Agent a supplemental Advance in a principal amount in excess of the reference amount; provided, however, that no such supplemental Advance shall be permitted to be made to the extent that, after giving effect to such Advance, the Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Outstanding Principal Amount would exceed the Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Notes Maximum Principal Amount). Such supplemental Advances shall be made by wire transfer in U.S. Dollars in same day funds no later than 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) one (1) Business Day following the date of such Borrowing, and upon receipt thereof the Administrative Agent shall immediately make such proceeds available, first, if applicable and to the L/C Provider for application to repayment of the amount of outstanding Unreimbursed L/C Drawings as set forth in the applicable Advance Request, ratably in proportion to such respective amounts, and, second to the Issuer, as instructed in the applicable Advance Request. If any Note Purchaser which shall have so failed to fund its Advance shall subsequently pay such amount, the Administrative Agent shall apply such amount pro rata to repay any supplemental Advances made by the other Note Purchasers pursuant to this Section 2.03(b).

(c) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Funding Agent prior to the date of any Borrowing that an applicable Investor in the related Investor Group that has agreed to or is required to make an Advance will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Investor’s share of the Advances to be made by such Investor Group as part of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) assume that such Investor has made such share available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.02(a) and the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the L/C Provider and/or the Issuer, as applicable, on such date a corresponding amount, and shall, if such corresponding amount has not been made available by the Administrative Agent, make available to the L/C Provider and/or the Issuer, as applicable, on such date a corresponding amount once such Investor has made such portion available to the Administrative Agent. If and to the extent that any Investor shall not have so made such amount available to the Administrative Agent, such Investor and the Issuer jointly and severally agree to repay (without duplication) to the Administrative Agent on the next Weekly Allocation Date such corresponding amount (in the case of the Issuer, in accordance with the Priority of Payments), together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Issuer until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of the Issuer, the interest rate applicable at the time to the Advances comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Investor, the Federal Funds Rate and without deduction by such Investor for any withholding taxes. If such Investor shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute such Investor’s Advance as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement.

SECTION 2.04 The Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Notes. On each date an Advance is made or a Letter of Credit is issued hereunder, and on each date the outstanding amount thereof is reduced, a duly authorized officer, employee or agent of the related Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Noteholder shall make appropriate notations in its books and records of the amount, evidenced by the related Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Advance Note or Series 2022-1 Class A-1 L/C Note of such Advance or Letter of Credit, as applicable, and the amount of such reduction, as applicable. The Issuer hereby authorizes each duly authorized officer, employee and agent of such Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Noteholder to make such notations on the books and records as aforesaid and every such notation made in accordance with the foregoing authority shall be prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the information so recorded; provided, however, that in the event of a discrepancy between the books and records of such Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Noteholder and the records maintained by the Trustee pursuant to the Indenture, (x) such discrepancy shall be resolved by such Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Noteholder, the Control Party and the Trustee, in consultation with the Issuer (provided that such consultation with the Issuer will not in any way limit or delay such Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Noteholder’s, the Control Party’s and the Trustee’s ability to resolve such discrepancy), and

6

such resolution shall control in the absence of manifest error and the Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Notes Register shall be corrected as appropriate and (y) until any such discrepancy is resolved pursuant to clause (x), the Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Notes Register shall control; provided, further, that the failure of any such notation to be made, or any finding that a notation is incorrect, in any such records shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Issuer under this Agreement or the Indenture.

SECTION 2.05 Reduction in Commitments and Termination of Agreement.

(a) The Issuer may, upon at least three (3) Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall promptly notify the Trustee, the Control Party, each Funding Agent and each Investor), effect a permanent reduction in the Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Notes Maximum Principal Amount and a corresponding reduction in each Commitment Amount, Maximum Commitment Amount and Maximum Investor Group Principal Amount on a pro rata basis; provided that (i) any such reduction will be limited to the undrawn portion of the Maximum Commitment Amount, although any such reduction may be combined with a Voluntary Decrease effected pursuant to and in accordance with Section 2.2(b) of the Series 2022-1 Supplement, (ii) any such reduction must be in a minimum amount of $10,000,000 unless reduced to zero, (iii) after giving effect to such reduction, the Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Notes Maximum Principal Amount equals or exceeds $10,000,000, unless reduced to zero, and (iv) no such reduction shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate Commitment Amounts would be less than the sum of the L/C Commitment. Any reduction made pursuant to this Section 2.05(a) shall be made ratably among the Investor Groups on the basis of their respective Maximum Investor Group Principal Amounts. Upon the permanent reduction in the Maximum Commitment Amount in accordance with this section to zero and related Voluntary Decrease effected pursuant to and in accordance with Section 2.2(b) of the Series 2022-1 Supplement to zero, the Issuer may make all payments in respect of the Aggregate Unpaids and terminate its rights and obligations under this Agreement.

(b) If any of the following events shall occur, then the Commitment Amounts and Maximum Commitment Amounts, as applicable, shall be automatically and, to the extent applicable, permanently reduced on the dates and in the amounts set forth below with respect to the applicable event and the other consequences set forth below with respect to the applicable event shall ensue (and the Issuer shall give the Trustee, the Control Party, each Funding Agent and the Administrative Agent prompt written notice thereof):

(i) each payment of principal on the Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Outstanding Principal Amount shall result automatically in a dollar-for-dollar reduction of the Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Notes Maximum Principal Amount and a corresponding reduction in each Maximum Investor Group Principal Amount and each Note Purchaser’s Commitment Amount on a pro rata basis based on the amount of such Investor Group’s and such Note Purchaser’s outstanding Advances. For the avoidance of doubt, such reductions shall not be permanent unless otherwise permanently reduced in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and the Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Notes Maximum Principal Amount (and the corresponding Commitment Amount, Maximum Commitment Amount and Maximum Investor Group Principal Amount, each on a pro rata basis) may be increased in connection with a Temporary Commitment Availability Period, Advance or Subfacility Increase, in each case in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and as applicable;

(ii) if the Outstanding Principal Amount of the Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Notes has not been paid in full or otherwise refinanced in full (which refinancing may also include an extension thereof) by the Business Day immediately preceding the Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Notes Renewal Date, (A) each payment of principal on the Series 2022-1 Class A-1

7

(iii) if a Rapid Amortization Event (other than a Rapid Amortization Event triggered by an Event of Default) occurs and is continuing (and shall not have been waived or, in the case of clause (d) of the definition thereof, cured, as provided in the Base Indenture) prior to the Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Notes Renewal Date, then (A) on the date such Rapid Amortization Event occurs, each payment of principal (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall include cash collateralization of Undrawn L/C Face Amounts pursuant to Sections 4.02, 4.03(a), 4.03(b) and 9.18(c)(ii)) shall result automatically and permanently in a dollar-for-dollar reduction of the maximum dollar amount of the Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Notes Maximum Principal Amount and a corresponding reduction in each Maximum Investor Group Principal Amount on a pro rata basis and (B) no later than the second Business Day after the occurrence of such Rapid Amortization Event, the principal amount of all then outstanding Unreimbursed L/C Drawings shall be repaid in full with proceeds of Advances (and the Issuer shall be deemed to have delivered such Advance Requests under Section 2.03 as may be necessary to cause such Advances to be made) and the L/C Commitment shall be automatically reduced by the unused portion thereof and such amount of Unreimbursed L/C Drawings repaid by such Advances; provided that, in each case, if any Rapid Amortization Event occurring solely under (1) clause (a) of the definition thereof shall cease to be in effect as a result of being waived in accordance with the Base Indenture or (2) clause (d) of the definition thereof shall cease to be in effect as a result of being cured in accordance with the terms of such clause (d) set forth in the Base Indenture, then in either such case the Commitments, L/C Commitment, the maximum amount of (i) Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Notes Maximum Principal Amount and (ii) the Maximum Investor Group Principal Amounts shall be restored to the amounts in effect immediately prior to the occurrence of such Rapid Amortization Event;

(iv) [Intentionally omitted];

(v) if payments in connection with Indemnification Amounts, Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds or Asset Disposition Proceeds are allocated to and deposited in the Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Distribution Account in accordance with Section 3.6(h) of the Series 2022-1 Supplement at a time when either (i) no Senior Notes other than Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Notes are Outstanding or (ii) if the Outstanding Principal Amount of the Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Notes has not been paid in full or otherwise refinanced in full (which refinancing may also include an extension thereof) by the Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Notes Renewal Date and such event is continuing, then (x) the aggregate Maximum Commitment Amount shall be automatically and permanently reduced on the date of such deposit by an amount (the “Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Allocated Payment Reduction Amount”) equal to the amount of such deposit, and each Note Purchaser’s Maximum Commitment Amount shall be reduced on a pro rata basis of such Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Allocated Payment Reduction Amount based on each Note Purchaser’s Maximum Commitment Amount, (y) the corresponding portions of the Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Notes Maximum Principal Amount and the Maximum Investor Group Principal Amounts shall be automatically and permanently reduced on a pro rata basis based on each Investor Group’s Maximum Investor Group Principal Amount by a corresponding amount on such date (and, if after

8

giving effect to such reduction the aggregate Commitment Amounts would be less than the L/C Commitment, then the aggregate amount of the L/C Commitment shall be reduced by the amount of such difference, with such reduction to be allocated between them in accordance with the written instructions of the Issuer delivered prior to such date; provided that after giving effect thereto the aggregate amount of the L/C Obligations do not exceed the L/C Commitment, respectively, as so reduced; provided further that in the absence of such instructions, such reduction shall be allocated to the L/C Commitment) and (z) the Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Outstanding Principal Amount shall be repaid or prepaid (which for the avoidance of doubt, shall include cash collateralization of Undrawn L/C Face Amounts pursuant to Sections 4.02, 4.03(a), 4.03(b) and 9.18(c)(ii))) in an aggregate amount equal to such Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Allocated Payment Reduction Amount on the date and in the order required by Section 3.6(h) of the Series 2022-1 Supplement; and

(vi) if any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing (and shall not have been waived in accordance with the Base Indenture) and as a result the payment of the Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Notes is accelerated pursuant to the terms of the Base Indenture (and such acceleration shall not have been rescinded in accordance with the Base Indenture), the Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Notes Maximum Principal Amount, the Commitment Amounts, the L/C Commitment and the Maximum Investor Group Principal Amounts shall all be automatically and permanently reduced to zero upon such acceleration and the Issuer shall (in accordance with the Series 2022-1 Supplement) cause the Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Outstanding Principal Amount to be paid in full (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall include cash collateralization of Undrawn L/C Face Amounts pursuant to Sections 4.02, 4.03(a) and 9.18(c)(ii) together with accrued interest, Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Notes Other Amounts and all other amounts then due and payable to the Lender Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Funding Agents under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and any unreimbursed Debt Service Advance, Collateral Protection Advance and Manager Advance (in each case, with interest thereon at the Advance Interest Rate), in each case subject to and in accordance with the provisions of the Base Indenture, including the Priority of Payments.

SECTION 2.06 Temporary Commitment Availability Period.

(a) The Issuer may request, no more than twice per calendar year, upon at least ten (10) Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall promptly notify the Trustee, the Control Party, each Funding Agent and each Investor), by delivering a notice substantially in the form of Exhibit E (a “TCAP Notice”), and the Administrative Agent and each Note Purchaser may, in its sole discretion, agree by delivering to the Issuer such TCAP Notice countersigned by the Administrative Agent, that the Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Notes Maximum Principal Amount be increased (the amount of such increase, as reduced by each Advance made and each Subfacility Increase made during such Temporary Commitment Availability Period (other than any Advance made in connection Subfacility Decrease) on a dollar-for-dollar basis, the “TCAP Amount”) for a period of ninety (90) days during which such period (solely to the extent approved in accordance with this Section 2.06, such period, a “Temporary Commitment Availability Period”) each Note Purchaser’s Commitment Amount and each Investor Group’s Maximum Investor Group Principal Amount will be increased on a pro rata basis based on the TCAP Amount such that the TCAP Amount shall become available to the Issuer in accordance with Section 2.03; provided that (i) the requested amount of the TCAP Amount must be a minimum of $10,00,000 and integral multiples of $500,000 in excess thereof and (ii) no such increase shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto, the Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Notes Maximum Principal Amount would exceed the maximum dollar amount specified in the definition thereof. Any TCAP Amount shall be allocated ratably among the Investor Groups on the basis of their respective Commitment Percentage. Each TCAP Notice by Issuer shall be irrevocable and shall in each case refer to this Agreement and specify (i) the proposed commencement date of the Temporary Commitment Availability Period and (ii) the requested TCAP Amount.

9

(b) Each Funding Agent shall promptly advise its related Investors, of any notice given pursuant to this Section 2.06 and shall promptly thereafter (but in no event later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on or prior to the proposed commencement date of the Temporary Commitment Availability Period) notify the Administrative Agent, the Issuer and the related Note Purchaser(s) whether such Investor Group has agreed to increase its Commitment Amount by its Commitment Percentage of the TCAP Amount during such Temporary Commitment Availability Period. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable inform the Issuer of any additional requests needed for approval of the Temporary Commitment Availability Period prior to the commencement thereof. If the Administrative Agent and all Investor Groups have agreed to the request specified in such notice, then on the proposed commencement date of such Temporary Commitment Availability Period and subject to the other conditions set forth herein and in the Series 2022-1 Supplement, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Issuer of the commencement of the Temporary Commitment Availability Period by delivering a countersigned copy of the TCAP Notice executed by the Administrative Agent and the applicable Investors in each Investor Group shall make available to the Administrative Agent the amount of the Advances for each Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.03 or Subfacility Increases in accordance with Section 2.07(b).

(c) Each such Temporary Commitment Availability Period shall, subject to the other conditions set forth herein and in the Series 2022-1 Supplement, automatically renew for another 90 day period unless, at any time prior to the expiration of the then current Temporary Commitment Availability Period, the Issuer shall have notified the Administrative Agent and each Funding Agent in writing of the non-renewal of the Temporary Commitment Availability Period. The Issuer may voluntarily reduce the TCAP Amount in accordance with Section 2.05(a) and voluntarily terminate if the when the TCAP Amount is zero is reduced to zero in accordance therewith. Each Temporary Commitment Availability Period shall automatically terminate when the TCAP Amount is zero. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Trustee and the Control Party of the non-renewal or termination of the Temporary Commitment Availability Period, as applicable.

SECTION 2.07 L/C Commitment.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the L/C Provider (or its permitted assigns pursuant to Section 9.17), in reliance on the agreements of the Note Purchasers set forth in Sections 2.08 and 2.09, may, in its sole discretion and subject to the consent of each Investor Group, and during a Temporary Commitment Availability Period, shall (in an amount not to exceed up to the lesser of the (x) L/C Commitment or (y) undrawn portion of the Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Notes Maximum Principal Amount), provide standby letters of credit, including Interest Reserve Letters of Credit (each, a “Letter of Credit” and, collectively, the “Letters of Credit”) for the account of the Issuer or its designee on any Business Day during the period commencing on the Series 2022-1 Closing Date and ending on the date that is thirty (30) Business Days prior to the Commitment Termination Date to be issued in accordance with Section 2.07(h) in such form as may be approved from time to time by the L/C Provider; provided that the L/C Provider shall have no obligation or right to provide any Letter of Credit on a requested issuance date if, after giving effect to such issuance, (i) the L/C Obligations would exceed the L/C Commitment or (ii) the Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Outstanding Principal Amount would exceed the Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Notes Maximum Principal Amount.

Each Letter of Credit shall (x) be denominated in Dollars, (y) have a face amount of at least $1 million or, if less than $1 million, shall bear a reasonable administrative fee to be agreed upon by the Issuer and the L/C Provider and (z) expire no later than the earlier of (A) the first anniversary of its date of issuance and (B) the date that is ten (10) Business Days prior to the Commitment Termination Date (the “Required Expiration Date”); provided that any Letter of Credit may provide for the automatic renewal thereof for additional periods, each individually not to exceed one year (which shall in no event extend beyond the Required Expiration Date) unless the L/C Provider notifies each beneficiary of such Letter of Credit at least

10

thirty (30) calendar days prior to the then-applicable expiration date (or no later than the applicable notice date, if earlier, as specified in such Letter of Credit) that such Letter of Credit shall not be renewed; provided further that any Letter of Credit may have an expiration date that is later than the Required Expiration Date so long as either (x) the Undrawn L/C Face Amount with respect to such Letter of Credit has been fully cash collateralized by the Issuer in accordance with Section 4.02 or 4.03 as of the Required Expiration Date and there are no other outstanding L/C Obligations with respect to such Letter of Credit as of the Required Expiration Date or (y) other than with respect to Interest Reserve Letters of Credit, arrangements satisfactory to the L/C Provider in its sole and absolute discretion have been made with the L/C Provider (and, if the L/C Provider is not the L/C Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuing Bank) pursuant to Section 4.04 such that such Letter of Credit shall cease to be deemed outstanding or to be deemed a “Letter of Credit” for purposes of this Agreement as of the Commitment Termination Date.

The L/C Provider shall not at any time be obligated to (I) provide any Letter of Credit hereunder if such issuance would violate, or cause any L/C Issuing Bank to exceed any limits imposed by, any applicable Requirement of Law or (II) amend any Letter of Credit hereunder if (1) the L/C Provider would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof or (2) each beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit.

(b) On the terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture and this Agreement, and in reliance on the covenants, representations and agreements set forth herein and therein, the Issuer shall issue and shall cause the Trustee to authenticate the Series 2022-1 Class A-1 L/C Note, which the Issuer shall deliver to the L/C Provider on the Series 2022-1 Closing Date; provided that, if such Series 2022-1 Class A-1 L/C Note is an Uncertificated Note, the Trustee shall instead register it as described in Section 4.1(f) of the Series 2022-1 Supplement. Such Series 2022-1 Class A-1 L/C Note shall be dated the Series 2022-1 Closing Date, shall be registered in the name of the L/C Provider or in such other name or nominee as the L/C Provider may request, shall have a maximum principal amount equal to the L/C Commitment, shall have an initial outstanding principal amount equal to the Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Initial Aggregate Undrawn L/C Face Amount, and (unless it is an Uncertificated Note) shall be duly authenticated in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture. Each issuance of a Letter of Credit after the Series 2022-1 Closing Date will constitute an Increase in the outstanding principal amount evidenced by the Series 2022-1 Class A-1 L/C Note in an amount corresponding to the Undrawn L/C Face Amount of such Letter of Credit. All L/C Obligations (whether in respect of Undrawn L/C Face Amounts or Unreimbursed L/C Drawings) shall be deemed to be principal outstanding under the Series 2022-1 Class A-1 L/C Note and shall be deemed to be Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Outstanding Principal Amounts for all purposes of this Agreement, the Indenture and the other Transaction Documents other than, in the case of Undrawn L/C Face Amounts, for purposes of accrual of interest. Subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Series 2022-1 Supplement, each issuance of a Letter of Credit will constitute a Subfacility Increase in the outstanding principal amount evidenced by the Series 2022-1 Class A-1 L/C Note and the expiration of any Letter of Credit or reimbursements of any Unreimbursed L/C Drawings thereunder or other circumstances resulting in the permanent reduction in any Undrawn L/C Face Amounts from time to time will constitute a Subfacility Decrease in the outstanding principal amount evidenced by the Series 2022-1 Class A-1 L/C Note. The L/C Provider and the Issuer agree to promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Trustee of any such decreases for which notice to the Administrative Agent is not otherwise provided hereunder.

(c) The Issuer may (or shall cause the Manager on its behalf to) from time to time request that the L/C Provider provide a new Letter of Credit by delivering to the L/C Provider at its address for notices specified herein an application therefor (in the form required by the applicable L/C Issuing Bank as notified to the Issuer by the L/C Provider) (an “Application”), completed to the satisfaction of the L/C Provider, and such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as the L/C Provider may reasonably request on behalf of the L/C Issuing Bank. Upon receipt of any completed Application, the L/C Provider will notify the Administrative Agent and the Trustee in writing of the amount,

11

the beneficiary or beneficiaries and the requested expiration date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall comply with Section 2.07(a) and (i)) and, subject to the other conditions set forth herein and in the Series 2022-1 Supplement and upon receipt of written confirmation from the Administrative Agent (based, with respect to any portion of the Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Outstanding Subfacility Amount held by any Person other than the Administrative Agent, solely on written notices received by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement) that after giving effect to the requested issuance, the Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Outstanding Principal Amount would not exceed the Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Notes Maximum Principal Amount (provided that the L/C Provider shall be entitled to rely upon any written statement, paper or document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person or Persons of the Administrative Agent for purposes of determining whether the L/C Provider received such prior written confirmation from the Administrative Agent with respect to any Letter of Credit), the L/C Provider will cause such Application and the certificates, documents and other papers and information delivered in connection therewith to be processed in accordance with the L/C Issuing Bank’s customary procedures and shall promptly provide the Letter of Credit requested thereby (but in no event shall the L/C Provider be required to provide any Letter of Credit earlier than three (3) Business Days after its receipt of the Application therefor and all such other certificates, documents and other papers and information relating thereto, as provided in Section 2.07(a)) by issuing the original of such Letter of Credit to the beneficiary or beneficiaries thereof or as otherwise may be agreed to by the L/C Provider and the Issuer. The L/C Provider shall furnish a copy of such Letter of Credit to the Manager (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) promptly following the issuance thereof. The L/C Provider shall promptly furnish to the Administrative Agent, which shall in turn promptly furnish to the Funding Agents, the Investors, the Control Party and the Trustee, written notice of the issuance of each Letter of Credit (including the amount thereof).

(d) The Issuer shall pay to the L/C Provider the L/C Quarterly Fees (as defined in the Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Notes Fee Letter, the “L/C Quarterly Fees”) in accordance with the terms of the Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Notes Fee Letter and subject to the Priority of Payments.

(e) [Reserved].

(f) To the extent that any provision of any Application related to any Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions of this Article II, the provisions of this Article II shall apply.

(g) The Issuer may, upon at least three (3) Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent and the L/C Provider, effect a permanent reduction in the L/C Commitment; provided that any such reduction will be limited to the undrawn portion of the L/C Commitment. If requested by the Issuer in writing and with the prior written consent of the L/C Provider and the Administrative Agent, the L/C Provider may (but shall not be obligated to) increase the amount of the L/C Commitment; provided that, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate amount of each of the Outstanding Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Note Advances and the L/C Commitment does not exceed the aggregate amount of the Commitments.

(h) The L/C Provider shall satisfy its obligations under this Section 2.07 with respect to providing any Letter of Credit hereunder by issuing such Letter of Credit itself or through an Affiliate if the L/C Issuing Bank Rating Test is satisfied with respect to such Affiliate, and the issuance of such Letter of Credit. If the L/C Issuing Bank Rating Test is not satisfied with respect to such Affiliate, and the issuance of such Letter of Credit, a Person selected by the Issuer (at the expense of the L/C Provider) shall issue such Letter of Credit; provided that such Person and issuance of such Letter of Credit satisfies the L/C Issuing Bank Rating Test (the L/C Provider (or such Affiliate of the L/C Provider) or such other Person selected by the Issuer (at the expense of the L/C Provider), in each case in its capacity as the issuer of such Letter of Credit being referred to as the “L/C Issuing Bank” with respect to such Letter of Credit). The “L/C Issuing Bank Rating Test” is a test that is satisfied with respect to a Person issuing a Letter of

12

Credit if the Person is a U.S. commercial bank that has, at the time of the issuance of such Letter of Credit, (i) a short-term certificate of deposit rating of not less than “A-2” (or then equivalent grade) from S&P and (ii) a long-term unsecured debt rating of not less than “BBB” (or then equivalent grade) from S&P or such other minimum long-term unsecured debt rating as may be reasonably required by the beneficiary or beneficiaries of such proposed Letter of Credit.

Each of the parties hereto shall execute any amendments to this Agreement reasonably requested by the Issuer in order to have any letter of credit issued by a Person selected by the Issuer pursuant to this Section 2.07(h) or Section 5.17 of the Base Indenture be a “Letter of Credit” that has been issued hereunder and such Person selected by the Issuer be an “L/C Issuing Bank”.

If any Letter of Credit issued by an L/C Provider hereunder in favor of an insurance or other similar provider to any Wingstop Entity no longer satisfies such provider’s criteria for an eligible or otherwise conforming letter of credit for its particular purpose, the Issuer may select an alternative Person to issue a replacement for such Letter of Credit; provided that such Person and issuance of such replacement Letter of Credit satisfies the L/C Issuing Bank Rating Test, and such L/C Provider shall reasonably cooperate with the Issuer in connection with the termination and replacement of such Letter of Credit.

(i) The L/C Provider and, if the L/C Provider is not the L/C Issuing Bank for any Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuing Bank shall be under no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if: (i) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the L/C Provider or the L/C Issuing Bank, as applicable, from issuing the Letter of Credit, or (ii) any law applicable to the L/C Provider or the L/C Issuing Bank, as applicable, or any request or directive (which request or directive, in the reasonable judgment of the L/C Provider or the L/C Issuing Bank, as applicable, has the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the L/C Provider or the L/C Issuing Bank, as applicable, shall prohibit the L/C Provider or the L/C Issuing Bank, as applicable, from issuing of letters of credit generally or the Letter of Credit in particular.

(j) Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the L/C Provider or the L/C Issuing Bank, as applicable, and the Issuer when a Letter of Credit is issued, the rules of the “International Standby Practices 1998” published by the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice (or such later version thereof as may be in effect at the time of issuance) shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit issued hereunder.

(k) For the avoidance of doubt, the L/C Commitment shall be a sub-facility limit of the Commitment Amounts and aggregate outstanding L/C Obligations as of any date of determination shall be a component of the Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Outstanding Principal Amount on such date of determination, pursuant to the definition thereof.

(l) The Interest Reserve Letter of Credit (including all drawings thereunder) shall be subject to Section 5.17 of the Base Indenture in all respects.

SECTION 2.08 L/C Reimbursement Obligations.

(a) For the purpose of reimbursing the payment of any draft presented under any Letter of Credit, the Issuer agrees to immediately pay the L/C Provider, for its own account or for the account of the L/C Issuing Bank, as applicable, in same day funds on the day on which the L/C Provider notifies the Issuer and the Administrative Agent (and in each case the Administrative Agent shall promptly, on the same Business Day as its receipt of the same, notify the Funding Agents) of the date and the amount of such draft, an amount in Dollars equal to the sum of (i) the amount of such draft so paid (such amount at any time, as reduced by repayments with respect thereto as described below and amounts repaid

13

with respect thereto pursuant to Section 4.03(b) at or prior to such time, the “L/C Reimbursement Amount”) and (ii) any taxes, fees, charges or other costs or expenses, including amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.02(c) (such amounts at any time, as reduced by repayments with respect thereto as described below and amounts repaid with respect thereto pursuant to Section 4.03(b) at or prior to such time, the “L/C Other Reimbursement Costs”) incurred by the L/C Issuing Bank in connection with such payment. Outstanding L/C Reimbursement Amounts and outstanding L/C Other Reimbursement Costs may be repaid in accordance with the Priority of Payments, with the proceeds of any Advance or otherwise. Unless the entire outstanding L/C Reimbursement Amount and all L/C Other Reimbursement Costs with respect thereto has been repaid as set forth above, each drawing under any Letter of Credit shall (unless an Event of Bankruptcy shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the Issuer or any Guarantor, in which cases the procedures specified in Section 2.09 for funding by Note Purchasers shall apply) constitute a request by the Issuer to the Administrative Agent and each Funding Agent for a Base Rate Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.03 in the amount of the outstanding L/C Reimbursement Amount and outstanding L/C Other Reimbursement Costs at such time, and the Issuer shall be deemed to have made such request pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 2.03. The applicable L/C Other Reimbursement Amounts minus, without duplication, any such amounts repaid pursuant to Section 4.03(b), shall be paid as Class A-1 Notes Other Amounts subject to and in accordance with the Priority of Payments. In the event such request for a Base Rate Borrowing is deemed to have been given, the applicable Investors in each Investor Group hereby agree to make Advances in an aggregate amount for each Investor Group equal to such Investor Group’s Commitment Percentage of the outstanding L/C Reimbursement Amount at such time and outstanding L/C Other Reimbursement Costs at such time to pay the L/C Provider. The Borrowing date with respect to such Borrowing shall be the date on which the Funding Agents receive notice from the L/C Provider of such drawing under such Letter of Credit. Such Investors shall make the amount of such Advances available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds not later than 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such Borrowing date and the proceeds of such Advances shall be immediately made available by the Administrative Agent to the L/C Provider for application to the reimbursement of such drawing.

(b) The Issuer’s obligations under Section 2.08(a) shall be absolute and unconditional, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, under any and all circumstances and irrespective of (i) any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment that the Issuer may have or has had against the L/C Provider, the L/C Issuing Bank, any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or any other Person, (ii) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (iii) payment by the L/C Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, (iv) payment by the L/C Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or any other liquidation, conservatorship, assignment for the benefit of creditors, moratorium, rearrangement, receivership, insolvency, reorganization or similar debtor relief laws of any jurisdictions or (v) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.08(b), constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Issuer’s obligations hereunder. The Issuer also agrees that the L/C Provider and the L/C Issuing Bank shall not be responsible for, and the Issuer’s Reimbursement Obligations under Section 2.08(a) shall not be affected by, among other things, the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even though such documents shall in fact prove to be invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or among the Issuer and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred or any claims whatsoever of the Issuer against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any such transferee. Neither the L/C Provider nor the L/C Issuing Bank shall be liable for any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit, except for direct damages (as opposed to

14

consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Issuer to the extent permitted by applicable law) caused by errors or omissions found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the L/C Provider or the L/C Issuing Bank, as the case may be. The Issuer agrees that any action taken or omitted by the L/C Provider or the L/C Issuing Bank, as the case may be, under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or the related drafts or documents, if done in the absence of gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct and in accordance with the standards of care specified in the UCC of the State of New York, shall be binding on the Issuer and shall not result in any liability of the L/C Provider or the L/C Issuing Bank to the Issuer. As between the Issuer and the L/C Issuing Bank, the Issuer hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to such beneficiary’s or transferee’s use of any Letter of Credit. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the Issuer agrees with the L/C Issuing Bank that, with respect to documents presented that appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit. In connection with each Interest Reserve Letter of Credit, the Trustee as beneficiary shall be entitled to the benefit of every provision of the Base Indenture limiting the liability of or affording rights, benefits, protections, immunities or indemnities to the Trustee as if they were expressly set forth herein mutatis mutandis.

(c) If any draft shall be presented for payment under any Letter of Credit for which the L/C Provider has Actual Knowledge, the L/C Provider shall promptly notify the Manager, the Control Party, the Issuer and the Administrative Agent of the date and amount thereof. The responsibility of the applicable L/C Issuing Bank to the Issuer in connection with any draft presented for payment under any Letter of Credit shall, in addition to any payment obligation expressly provided for in such Letter of Credit, be limited to determining that the documents (including each draft) delivered under such Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment are substantially in conformity with such Letter of Credit and, in paying such draft, such L/C Issuing Bank shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by such Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of any Person(s) executing or delivering any such document.

A certificate of the L/C Provider submitted to any Note Purchaser with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 2.09(b), in the absence of manifest error, shall be conclusive and binding on such Note Purchaser. Such amounts payable under this Section 2.09(b) shall be paid without any deduction for any withholding taxes.

(d) Each Note Purchaser’s obligation to make the Advances referred to in Section 2.08(a) and to pay its pro rata share of any unreimbursed draft pursuant to Section 2.09(a) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Note Purchaser or the Issuer may have against the L/C Provider, any L/C Issuing Bank, the Issuer or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or the failure to satisfy any of the other conditions specified in Article VII other than at the time the related Letter of Credit was issued; (iii) an adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Issuer; (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Indenture Document by the Issuer or any other Person; (v) any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit in compliance with this Agreement or with the terms of such Letter of Credit, as applicable; or (vi) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

except for such Changes in Law with respect to increased capital costs and Class A-1 Taxes which shall be governed by Sections 3.07 and 3.08, respectively (whether or not amounts are payable thereunder in respect thereof). For purposes of this Agreement, (x) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all regulations, requests, guidelines or directives issued in connection therewith and (y) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case, pursuant to Basel III, are deemed to have gone into effect and been adopted subsequent to the date hereof. Each such demand shall be provided to the related Funding Agent and the Issuer in writing and shall state, in reasonable detail, the reasons therefor and the additional amount required fully to compensate such Affected Person for such increased cost or reduced amount of return; provided that any such demand claiming reimbursement for increased costs resulting from a Change in Law described in clause (x) or (y) above shall, in addition, state the basis upon which such amount has been calculated and certify that such Affected Person’s method of allocating such costs is fair and reasonable and that such Affected Person’s demand for payment of such costs hereunder, and such method of allocation, is consistent with, or more favorable than, its treatment of other borrowers which, as a credit matter, are substantially similar to the Issuer and which are subject to similar provisions. Such additional amounts (“Increased Costs”) shall be deposited into the Collection Account by the Issuer within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of such notice to be payable as Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Notes Other Amounts, subject to and in accordance with the Priority of Payments, to the Administrative Agent and by the Administrative Agent to such Funding Agent and by such Funding Agent directly to such Affected Person, and such notice shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the Issuer; provided that with respect to any notice given to the Issuer under this Section 3.05 the Issuer shall not be under any obligation to pay any amount with respect to any period prior to the date that is nine (9) months prior to such demand; provided further that if the Change in Law giving rise to such Increased Costs is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

23

SECTION 3.06 Funding Losses. In the event any Affected Person shall incur any loss or expense (including any loss or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Affected Person to fund or maintain any portion of the principal amount of any Advance as a Eurodollar Advance) as a result of:

(a) any conversion, repayment, prepayment or redemption (for any reason, including, without limitation, as a result of any Decrease or the acceleration of the maturity of such Eurodollar Advance) of the principal amount of any Eurodollar Advance on a date other than the scheduled last day of the Eurodollar Interest Accrual Period applicable thereto;

(b) any Advance not being funded or maintained as a Eurodollar Advance after a request therefor has been made in accordance with the terms contained herein (for a reason other than the failure of such Affected Person to make an Advance after all conditions thereto have been met); or

(c) any failure of the Issuer to make a Decrease, prepayment or redemption with respect to any Eurodollar Advance after giving notice thereof pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Series 2022-1 Supplement;

then, upon the written notice of any Affected Person to the related Funding Agent and the Issuer, the Issuer shall pay, within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of such notice, in the form of Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Notes Other Amounts, subject to and in accordance with the Priority of Payments, to the Administrative Agent and by the Administrative Agent to such Funding Agent and such Funding Agent shall pay directly to such Affected Person such amount (“Breakage Amount” or “Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Breakage Amount”) as will (in the reasonable determination of such Affected Person) reimburse such Affected Person for such loss or expense. With respect to any notice given to the Issuer under this Section 3.06, the Issuer shall not be under any obligation to pay any amount with respect to any period prior to the date that is nine (9) months prior to such notice. Such written notice (which shall include calculations in reasonable detail) shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the Issuer.

SECTION 3.07 Increased Capital or Liquidity Costs. If any Change in Law affects or would affect the amount of capital or liquidity required or reasonably expected to be maintained by any Affected Person or any Person controlling such Affected Person and such Affected Person determines in its sole and absolute discretion that the rate of return on its or such controlling Person’s capital as a consequence of its commitment hereunder or under a Program Support Agreement or the Advances or Letters of Credit made or issued by such Affected Person is reduced to a level below that which such Affected Person or such controlling Person would have achieved but for the occurrence of any such circumstance, then, in any such case after notice from time to time by such Affected Person (or in the case of an L/C Issuing Bank, by the L/C Provider) to the related Funding Agent and the Issuer (or, in the case of the L/C Provider, to the Issuer), the Issuer shall deposit into the Collection Account within ten (10) Business Days of the Issuer’s receipt of such notice, to be payable as Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Notes Other Amounts, subject to and in accordance with the Priority of Payments, to the Administrative Agent and by the Administrative Agent to such Funding Agent (or, in the case of the L/C Provider, directly to such Person) and such Funding Agent shall pay to such Affected Person, such amounts (“Increased Capital Costs”) as will be sufficient to compensate such Affected Person or such controlling Person for such reduction in rate of return; provided that with respect to any notice given to the Issuer under this Section 3.07 the Issuer shall not be under any obligation to pay any amount with respect to any period prior to the date that is nine (9) months prior to such notice; provided, further, if the Change in Law giving rise to such Increased Capital Costs is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof). A statement of such Affected

24

Person as to any such additional amount or amounts (including calculations thereof in reasonable detail), in the absence of manifest error, shall be conclusive and binding on the Issuer. In determining such additional amount, such Affected Person may use any method of averaging and attribution that it (in its reasonable discretion) shall deem applicable so long as it applies such method to other similar transactions. For purposes of this Agreement, (i) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all regulations, requests, guidelines or directives issued in connection therewith and (ii) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case, pursuant to Basel III, are deemed to have gone into effect and been adopted subsequent to the date hereof.

SECTION 3.08 Taxes.

(a) Except as otherwise required by law, all payments by the Issuer of principal of, and interest on, the Advances and the L/C Obligations and all other amounts payable hereunder (including fees) shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for or on account of any present or future income, excise, documentary, property, stamp or franchise taxes and other taxes, fees, duties, withholdings or other charges in the nature of a tax imposed by any Governmental Authority including all interest, penalties or additions to tax and other liabilities with respect thereto (all such taxes, fees, duties, withholdings and other charges, and including all interest, penalties or additions to tax and other liabilities with respect thereto, being called “Class A-1 Taxes”), but excluding in the case of any Affected Person (i) net income, franchise (imposed in lieu of net income) or similar Class A-1 Taxes (and including branch profits or alternative minimum Class A-1 Taxes) and any other Class A-1 Taxes imposed or levied on the Affected Person as a result of a present or former connection between the Affected Person and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such Class A-1 Taxes (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) (other than any such connection arising solely from such Affected Person having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document), (ii) with respect to any Affected Person organized under the laws of, or having its principal office or, in the case of any Lender, its applicable lending office located in a jurisdiction other than the United States or any state of the United States (a “Foreign Affected Person”), any withholding tax that is imposed on amounts payable to the Foreign Affected Person at the time the Foreign Affected Person becomes a party to this Agreement (or designates a new lending office), except to the extent that such Foreign Affected Person (or its assignor, if any) was already entitled, at the time of the designation of the new lending office (or assignment), to receive additional amounts from the Issuer with respect to withholding tax, (iii) any taxes imposed under FATCA, (iv) any backup withholding tax, (v) any Class A-1 Taxes imposed as a result of such Affected Person’s failure to comply with Section 3.08(d) and (vi) Taxes resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or the Affected Person as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment (such Class A-1 Taxes not excluded by (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v) and (vi) above being called “Non-Excluded Taxes”). If any Class A-1 Taxes are imposed and required by law to be withheld or deducted from any amount payable by the Issuer hereunder to an Affected Person, then, (x) the Issuer shall withhold the amount of such Class A-1 Taxes from such payment (as increased, if applicable, pursuant to the following clause (y)) and shall pay such amount, subject to and in accordance with the Priority of Payments, to the taxing authority imposing such Class A-1 Taxes in accordance with applicable law and (y) if such Class A-1 Taxes are Non-Excluded Taxes, the amount of the payment shall be increased so that such payment is made, after withholding or deduction for or on account of such Non-Excluded Taxes, in an amount that is not less than the amount equal to the sum that would have been received by the Affected Person had no such deduction or withholding been required.

25

(b) Moreover, if any Non-Excluded Taxes are directly asserted against any Affected Person or its agent with respect to any payment received by such Affected Person or its agent from the Issuer or otherwise in respect of any Transaction Document or the transactions contemplated therein, such Affected Person or its agent may pay such Non-Excluded Taxes and the Issuer will, within fifteen (15) Business Days of the related Funding Agent’s and Issuer’s receipt of written notice stating the amount of such Non-Excluded Taxes (including the calculation thereof in reasonable detail), deposit into the Collection Account, to be distributed as Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Notes Other Amounts, subject to and in accordance with the Priority of Payments, such additional amounts (collectively, “Increased Tax Costs,” which term shall include all amounts payable by or on behalf of the Issuer pursuant to this Section 3.08) as is necessary in order that the net amount received by such Affected Person or agent after the payment of such Non-Excluded Taxes (including any Non-Excluded Taxes on such Increased Tax Costs) shall equal the amount such Person would have retained had no such Non-Excluded Taxes been asserted. Any amount payable to an Affected Person under this Section 3.08 shall be reduced by, and Increased Tax Costs shall not include, the amount of incremental damages (including Class A-1 Taxes) due or payable by the Issuer as a direct result of such Affected Person’s failure to demand from the Issuer additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.08 within 180 days from the date on which the related Non-Excluded Taxes were incurred.

(c) As promptly as practicable after the payment of any Class A-1 Taxes by the Issuer, and in any event within thirty (30) days of any such payment being due, the Issuer shall furnish to each applicable Affected Person or its agents a certified copy of an official receipt (or other documentary evidence satisfactory to such Affected Person and agents) evidencing the payment of such Class A-1 Taxes. If the Issuer fails to pay any Class A-1 Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fail to remit to the Affected Persons or their agents the required receipts (or such other documentary evidence), the Issuer shall indemnify (by depositing such amounts into the Collection Account, to be distributed subject to and in accordance with the Priority of Payments) each Affected Person and its agents for any Non-Excluded Taxes that may become payable by any such Affected Person or its agents as a result of any such failure.

(d) Each Affected Person on or prior to the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter as soon as practicable after the obsolescence, expiration or invalidity of any form or document previously delivered) or within a reasonable period of time following a written request by the Administrative Agent or the Issuer, shall timely deliver to the Issuer and the Administrative Agent a United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, Form W-8BEN-E, Form W-8ECI, Form W-8IMY or Form W-9, as applicable, or applicable successor form, or such other forms or documents (or successor forms or documents), appropriately completed and executed, as may be applicable and as will permit the Issuer or the Administrative Agent, in their reasonable determination, to establish the extent to which a payment to such Affected Person is exempt from or eligible for a reduced rate of withholding or deduction of United States federal withholding taxes and to determine whether or not such Affected Person is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Promptly following the receipt of a written request by the Issuer or the Administrative Agent, each Affected Person shall deliver to the Issuer and the Administrative Agent any other forms or documents (or successor forms or documents) appropriately completed and executed, as may be applicable to establish the extent to which a payment to such Affected Person is exempt from withholding or deduction of Non-Excluded Taxes other than United States federal withholding taxes, including but not limited to, such information necessary to claim the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code. The Issuer shall not be required to pay any increased amount under Section 3.08(a) or Section 3.08(b) to an Affected Person in respect of the withholding or deduction of United States federal withholding taxes or other Non-Excluded Taxes imposed as the result of the failure or inability (other than as a result of a Change in Law) of such Affected Person to comply with the requirements set forth in this Section 3.08(d). The Issuer may rely on any form or document provided pursuant to this Section 3.08(d) until notified otherwise by the Affected Person that delivered such form or document. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, no Affected Person shall be required to deliver any documentation that it is not legally eligible to deliver as a result of a change in applicable law after the time the Affected Person becomes a party to this Agreement (or designates a new lending office).    

26

(e) If a payment made to an Affected Person pursuant to this Agreement would be subject to United States federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Affected Person were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Affected Person shall deliver to the Issuer and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Issuer or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Issuer or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Issuer and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Affected Person has complied with such Affected Person’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (e), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(f) Prior to the Closing Date, the Administrative Agent will provide the Issuer with a properly executed and completed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY or W-9, as appropriate. At any time thereafter, the Administrative Agent shall provide updated documentation previously provided (or a successor form thereto) when any documentation previously delivered has expired or become obsolete or invalid or otherwise upon the reasonable request of the Issuer.

(g) If an Affected Person determines, in its sole reasonable discretion, that it has received a refund of any Non-Excluded Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 3.08 or as to which it has been paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.08, it shall promptly notify the Issuer and the Manager in writing of such refund and shall, within thirty (30) days after receipt of a written request from the Issuer, pay over such refund to the Issuer (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made or additional amounts paid to such Affected Person under this Section 3.08 with respect to the Non-Excluded Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including the net amount of Class A-1 Taxes, if any, imposed on or with respect to such refund or payment) of the Affected Person and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant taxing authority that is directly attributable to such refund of such Non-Excluded Taxes); provided that the Issuer, immediately upon the request of the Affected Person (which request shall include a calculation in reasonable detail of the amount to be repaid), agrees to repay the amount of the refund (and any applicable interest) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant taxing authority with respect to such amount) to the Affected Person in the event the Affected Person or any other Person is required to repay such refund to such taxing authority. This Section 3.08 shall not be construed to require the Affected Person to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its Class A-1 Taxes that it deems confidential) to the Issuer or any other Person.

(h) If any Governmental Authority asserts that the Issuer or the Administrative Agent or other withholding agent did not properly withhold or backup withhold, as the case may be, any Class A-1 Taxes from payments made to or for the account of any Affected Person, then to the extent such improper withholding or backup withholding was directly caused by such Affected Person’s actions or inactions, such Affected Person shall indemnify the Issuer, Trustee and the Administrative Agent for any Class A-1 Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on the amounts payable to the Issuer and the Administrative Agent under this Section 3.08, and costs and expenses (including attorney costs) of the Issuer, Trustee and the Administrative Agent. The obligation of the Affected Persons, severally, under this Section 3.08 shall survive any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, an Affected Person or the termination of the aggregate Commitments, repayment of all other Obligations hereunder and the resignation of the Administrative Agent.

27

(i) The Administrative Agent, Trustee or any other withholding agent may deduct and withhold any Class A-1 Taxes required by any laws to be deducted and withheld from any payments.

SECTION 3.09 Change of Lending Office. Each Note Purchaser agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 3.05 or 3.07 or the payment of additional amounts to it under Section 3.08(a) or (b), in each case with respect to an Affected Person in such Note Purchaser’s Investor Group, it will, if requested by the Issuer, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Note Purchaser) to designate, or cause the designation of, another lending office for any Advances affected by such event with the object of avoiding the consequences of such event; provided that such designation is made on terms that, in the sole judgment of such Note Purchaser, cause such Note Purchaser and its lending office(s) or the related Affected Person to suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage; and provided, further, that nothing in this Section 3.09 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Issuer or the rights of any Note Purchaser pursuant to Section 3.05, 3.07 and 3.08. If a Note Purchaser notifies the Issuer in writing that such Note Purchaser will be unable to designate, or cause the designation of, another lending office, the Issuer may replace every member (but not any subset thereof) of such Note Purchaser’s entire Investor Group by giving written notice to each member of such Investor Group and the Administrative Agent designating one or more Persons that are willing and able to purchase each member of such Investor Group’s rights and obligations under this Agreement for a purchase price that with respect to each such member of such Investor Group will equal the amount owed to each such member of such Investor Group with respect to the Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Advance Notes (whether arising under the Indenture, this Agreement, the Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Advance Notes or otherwise). Upon receipt of such written notice, each member of such Investor Group shall assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement pursuant to and in accordance with Sections 9.17(a), (b) and (c), as applicable, in consideration for such purchase price and at the reasonable expense of the Issuer (including, without limitation, the reasonable documented fees and out-of-pocket expenses of counsel to each such member); provided, however, that no member of such Investor Group shall be obligated to assign any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement if the purchase price to be paid to such member is not at least equal to the amount owed to such member with respect to the Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Advance Notes (whether arising under the Indenture, this Agreement, the Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Advance Notes or otherwise).

ARTICLE IV

(a) If as of thirty (30) Business Days prior to the Commitment Termination Date, any Undrawn L/C Face Amounts remain in effect, the Issuer shall either (i) provide cash collateral (in an aggregate amount equal to the amount of Undrawn L/C Face Amounts at such time, to the extent that such amount of cash collateral has not been provided pursuant to Section 4.02 or 9.18(c)(ii)) to the L/C Provider, to be deposited by the L/C Provider into a cash collateral account in the name of the L/C Provider in accordance with Section 4.03(b) or (ii) other than with respect to Interest Reserve Letters of Credit, make arrangements satisfactory to the L/C Provider in its sole and absolute discretion with the L/C Provider (and, if the L/C Provider is not the L/C Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuing Bank) pursuant to Section 4.04 such that any Letters of Credit that remain outstanding as of the date that is ten (10) Business Days prior to the Commitment Termination Date shall cease to be deemed outstanding or to be deemed “Letters of Credit” for purposes of this Agreement as of the Commitment Termination Date.

29

(b) All amounts to be deposited in a cash collateral account pursuant to Section 4.02, Section 4.03(a) or Section 9.18(c)(ii) shall be held by the L/C Provider as collateral to secure the Issuer’s Reimbursement Obligations with respect to any outstanding Letters of Credit. The L/C Provider shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposit in Eligible Investments, which investments shall be made at the written direction, and at the risk and expense, of the Issuer (provided that if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such investments shall be made solely at the option and sole discretion of the L/C Provider), such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account and all Class A-1 Taxes on such amounts shall be payable by the Issuer. Moneys in such account shall automatically be applied by such L/C Provider to reimburse it for any Unreimbursed L/C Drawings. Upon expiration of all then-outstanding Letters of Credit and payment in full of all Unreimbursed L/C Drawings, any balance remaining in such account shall promptly be paid over (i) if the Base Indenture and any Series Supplement remain in effect, to the Trustee to be deposited into the Collection Account and distributed in accordance with the terms of the Base Indenture and (ii) otherwise to the Issuer; provided that, upon an Investor ceasing to be a Defaulting Investor in accordance with Section 9.18(d), any amounts of cash collateral provided pursuant to Section 9.18(c)(ii) upon such Investor becoming a Defaulting Investor shall be released and applied as such amounts would have been applied had such Investor not become a Defaulting Investor.

SECTION 4.04 Alternative Arrangements with Respect to Letters of Credit. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any Transaction Document, a Letter of Credit (other than an Interest Reserve Letter of Credit) shall cease to be deemed outstanding for all purposes of this Agreement and each other Transaction Document if and to the extent that provisions, in form and substance satisfactory to the L/C Provider (and, if the L/C Provider is not the L/C Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuing Bank) in its sole and absolute discretion, have been made with respect to such Letter of Credit such that the L/C Provider (and, if applicable, the L/C Issuing Bank) has agreed in writing, with a copy of such agreement delivered to the Administrative Agent, the Control Party, the Trustee and the Issuer, that such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be no longer outstanding hereunder, in which event such Letter of Credit shall cease to be a “Letter of Credit” as such term is used herein and in the Transaction Documents.

SECTION 4.05 Erroneous Payments. (a) Each Investor hereby agrees that (x) if the Administrative Agent notifies such Investor that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Investor from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates (whether as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees or otherwise; individually and collectively, a “Payment”) were erroneously transmitted to such Investor (whether or not known to such Investor), and demands the return of such Payment (or a portion thereof), such Investor shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Investor to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect, and (y) to the extent permitted by applicable law, such Investor shall not assert, and hereby waives, as to the Administrative Agent, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Payments received, including without limitation any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Investor under this Section 4.05(a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

30

(b) Each Investor hereby further agrees that if it receives a Payment from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such Payment (a “Payment Notice”) or (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a Payment Notice, it shall be on notice, in each such case, that an error has been made with respect to such Payment. Each Investor agrees that, in each such case, or if it otherwise becomes aware a Payment (or portion thereof) may have been sent in error, such Investor shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of such occurrence and, upon demand from the Administrative Agent, it shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Investor to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect.

(c) The Issuer and each Guarantor hereby agree that (x) in the event an erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) are not recovered from any Investor that has received such Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Investor with respect to such amount and (y) an erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Issuer or any Guarantor, provided that this Section 4.05(c) shall not be interpreted to increase (or accelerate the due date for), or have the effect of increasing (or accelerating the due date for), the Obligations of the Issuer and each Guarantor relative to the amount (and/or timing for payment) of the Obligations that would have been payable had such erroneous Payment not been made by the Administrative Agent.

(d) Each party’s obligations under this Section 4.05 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, an Investor, the termination of the Commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations under any Transaction Document.

ARTICLE V

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE FUNDING AGENTS

SECTION 5.01 Authorization and Action of the Administrative Agent.

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

SECTION 9.01 Amendments. No amendment to or waiver or other modification of any provision of this Agreement, nor consent to any departure therefrom by the Manager or the Issuer, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Issuer with the written consent of (A) the Administrative Agent and (B) other than in respect of amendments pursuant to Section 3.04, Investor Groups holding more than (i) if no single Investor Group holds more than 50% of the Commitments, 50% of the Commitments or (ii) if a single Investor Group holds more than 50% of the Commitments, two thirds of the Commitments (“Required Investor Groups”); provided that the Commitment of any Defaulting Investor shall be disregarded in the determination of whether such threshold percentage of Commitments has been met; provided, however, that, in addition, (i) the prior written consent of each affected Investor shall be required in connection with any amendment, modification or waiver that (x) increases the amount of the Commitment of such Investor, extends the Commitment Termination Date or the Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Notes Renewal Date for such Investor, modifies the conditions to funding the Commitment or otherwise subjects such Investor to any increased or additional duties or obligations

43

hereunder or in connection herewith (it being understood and agreed that waivers or modifications of conditions precedent, covenants, Defaults or Events of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the aggregate Commitments shall not constitute an increase of the Commitments of any Lender Party), (y) reduces the amount or delays the timing of payment of any principal, interest, fees or other amounts payable to such Investor hereunder or (z) would have an effect comparable to any of those set forth in Section 13.2(a) of the Base Indenture that require the consent of each Noteholder or each affected Noteholder; (ii) any amendment, modification or waiver that affects the rights or duties of any of the L/C Provider, the Administrative Agent or the Funding Agents shall require the prior written consent of such affected Person; and (iii) the prior written consent of each Investor, the L/C Provider, the Administrative Agent and each Funding Agent shall be required in connection with any amendment, modification or waiver of this Section 9.01. For purposes of any provision of any other Indenture Document relating to any Consent Right, amendment to the Transaction Documents or consent to the issuance of additional Series of Class A-1 Notes (each, a “VFN Consent”) by the Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Noteholders, such VFN Consent shall be given by the Holders of the Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Advance Notes only and not by the Holders of any Series 2022-1 Class A-1 L/C Notes except to the extent that such VFN Consent is to be given by each affected Noteholder and the Holders of any Series 2022-1 Class A-1 L/C Notes would be affected thereby; provided that if all of the the Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Outstanding Principal Amount and the TCAP Amount is zero then, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, then such VFN Consent shall be deemed given so long as (x) notice of the request for such VFN Consent is given to the Administrative Agent in the same manner as if such VFN Consent would be required, (y) the outcome of such request does not materially and adversely affect the interests of the Holders of the Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Advance Notes or the Administrative Agent and (z) if the Holders of the Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Advance Notes or the Administrative Agent would not have consented to such VFN Consent then they may terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 9.04. In addition, the provisions of Section 6.01(k) may not be amended or waived without confirmation from S&P that the rating of the commercial paper notes of each Conduit Investor then rated by it will not be reduced or withdrawn as a result thereof. Each Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Noteholder hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to consent to any amendment pursuant to Section 3.04 or pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 13.1(a) of the Base Indenture.

Each Note Purchaser will notify the Issuer in writing whether or not it will consent to a proposed amendment, waiver or other modification of this Agreement and, if applicable, any condition to such consent, waiver or other modification. If a Note Purchaser notifies the Issuer in writing that such Note Purchaser either (I) will not consent to an amendment to or waiver or other modification of any provision of this Agreement or (II) conditions its consent to such an amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of this Agreement upon the payment of an amendment fee, the Issuer may replace every member (but not any subset thereof) of such Note Purchaser’s entire Investor Group by giving written notice to each member of such Investor Group and the Administrative Agent designating one or more Persons that are willing and able to purchase each member of such Investor Group’s rights and obligations under this Agreement for a purchase price that with respect to each such member of such Investor Group will equal the amount owed to each such member of such Investor Group with respect to the Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Advance Notes (whether arising under the Indenture, this Agreement, the Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Advance Notes or otherwise). Upon receipt of such written notice, each member of such Investor Group shall assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement pursuant to and in accordance with Sections 9.17(a), (b) and (c), as applicable, in consideration for such purchase price and at the reasonable expense of the Issuer (including, without limitation, the reasonable documented fees and out-of-pocket expenses of counsel to each such member); provided, however, that no member of such Investor Group shall be obligated to assign any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement if the purchase price to be paid to such member is not at least equal to the amount owed to such member with respect to the Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Advance Notes (whether arising under the Indenture, this Agreement, the Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Advance Notes or otherwise).

44

The Issuer and the Lender Parties shall negotiate any amendments, waivers, consents, supplements or other modifications to this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents that require the consent of the Lender Parties in good faith and any consent required to be given by the Lender Parties shall not be unreasonably denied, conditioned or delayed. Pursuant to Section 9.05(a), the Lender Parties shall be entitled to reimbursement by the Issuer for the reasonable expenses incurred by the Lender Parties in reviewing and approving any such amendment, waiver, consent, supplement or other modification to this Agreement or any Transaction Document. The Administrative Agent agrees to provide notice to each Investor Group of any amendment to this Agreement, regardless of whether the consent of such Investor is required for such amendment to become effective.

SECTION 9.02 No Waiver; Remedies. Any waiver, consent or approval given by any party hereto shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given, and no waiver by a party of any breach or default under this Agreement shall be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default. No failure on the part of any party hereto to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right hereunder, or any abandonment or discontinuation of steps to enforce the right, power or privilege, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. No notice to or demand on any party hereto in any case shall entitle such party to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

SECTION 9.03 Binding on Successors and Assigns.

(a) This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the Issuer, the Manager, the Lender Parties, the Funding Agents, the Administrative Agent and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that none of the Issuer nor the Manager may assign its rights or obligations hereunder or in connection herewith or any interest herein (voluntarily, by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of each Lender Party (other than any Defaulting Investor); provided further that nothing herein shall prevent the Issuer from assigning its rights (but none of its duties or liabilities) to the Trustee under the Base Indenture and the Series 2022-1 Supplement; and provided, further that none of the Lender Parties may transfer, pledge, assign, sell participations in or otherwise encumber its rights or obligations hereunder or in connection herewith or any interest herein except as permitted under Section 6.03, Section 9.17 and this Section 9.03. Nothing expressed herein is intended or shall be construed to give any Person other than the Persons referred to in the preceding sentence any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement except as provided in Section 9.16.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, any Investor may at any time sell participations to any Person (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Program Support Provider) in all or a portion of such Investor’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement, the Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Notes and the Advances made thereunder and, in connection therewith, any other Transaction Document to which it is a party, and such participant, with respect to its participating interest, shall be entitled to the benefits granted to such Investor under this Agreement; provided that (i) such Investor’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Investor shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) the Issuer, the Administrative Agent, the L/C Provider and each other Investor shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Investor in connection with such Investor’s rights and obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no participation pursuant to this Section 9.03 shall be made to a VFN Competitor.

45

Each Investor that grants to one or more Persons including, without limitation, a Program Support Provider, a participating interest in such Investor’s interests in the Advances shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Issuer, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of such Person and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Person’s interest in the Advances (each, a “Participant Register”); provided that no Investor shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Person, or any information relating to a Person’s interest in the Advances) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such interest is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations (and any such finalized United States Treasury Regulations). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Investor shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(c) In addition to its rights under Section 9.17, each Conduit Investor may at any time assign its rights in the Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Advance Notes (and its rights hereunder and under the Transaction Documents) to its related Note Purchaser or, subject to Section 6.03 and Section 9.17(b) and (c), its related Program Support Provider or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing, in each case in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Indenture. Furthermore, each Conduit Investor may at any time grant a security interest in and lien on, all or any portion of its interests under this Agreement, its Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Advance Note and all Transaction Documents to (i) its related Note Purchaser, (ii) its Funding Agent, (iii) any Program Support Provider who, at any time now or in the future, provides program liquidity or credit enhancement, including, without limitation, an insurance policy for such Conduit Investor relating to the Commercial Paper or the Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Advance Notes, (iv) any other Person who, at any time now or in the future, provides liquidity or credit enhancement for the Conduit Investors, including, without limitation, an insurance policy relating to the Commercial Paper or the Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Advance Notes, (v) any collateral trustee or collateral agent for any of the foregoing or (vi) a trustee or collateral agent for the benefit of the holders of the commercial paper notes or other senior indebtedness of such Conduit Investor appointed pursuant to such Conduit Investor’s program documents; provided, however, that any such security interest or lien shall be released upon assignment of its Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Advance Note to its related Note Purchaser. Each Note Purchaser may assign its Commitment, or all or any portion of its interest under its Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Advance Note, this Agreement and the Transaction Documents to any Person to the extent permitted by Section 9.17. Notwithstanding any other provisions set forth in this Agreement, each Note Purchaser may at any time create a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement, its Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Advance Note and the Transaction Documents in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the F.R.S. Board or any similar foreign entity.

SECTION 9.04 Termination; Survival of Agreement. This Agreement shall terminate upon the payment in full of all interest on and principal of the Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Notes, and all other amounts owed to the Lender Parties, the Funding Agents and the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the Series 2022-1 Supplement, the expiration of all Letters of Credit hereunder (or the cash collateralization or rollover thereof in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) and the termination or permanent reduction to zero of the Commitments and the L/C Commitment. In addition, prior to the making of any Advances or Subfacility Increases and the start of any TCAP Period, to the extent that any VFN Consent has been obtained or Amendment has been made to the Transaction Documents to which the Administrative Agent did not consent, the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to terminate this agreement upon written notice to the Issuer in its sole discretion. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made herein and in the Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Notes delivered pursuant hereto shall survive the making and the repayment of the Advances and the Letters of Credit and the execution and delivery of this

46

Agreement and the Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Notes and shall continue in full force and effect until this Agreement so terminates. In addition, the obligations of the Issuer and the Lender Parties under Sections 3.05, 3.06, 3.07, 3.08, 9.05, 9.10 and 9.11 shall survive the termination of this Agreement. The Administrative Agent, on the reasonable request of the Issuer, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging confirmation of and termination of this Agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 9.10 No Proceedings; Limited Recourse.

(a) The Securitization Entities. Each of the parties hereto (other than the Issuer) hereby covenants and agrees that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of the last maturing Note issued by the Issuer pursuant to the Base Indenture, it will not institute against, or

In the event that a Lender Party (solely in its capacity as such) takes action in violation of this Section 9.10(a), each affected Securitization Entity shall file or cause to be filed an answer with the bankruptcy court or otherwise properly contest or cause to be contested the filing of such a petition by any such Person against such Securitization Entity or the commencement of such action and raise or cause to be raised the defense that such Person has agreed in writing not to take such action and should be estopped and precluded therefrom and such other defenses, if any, as its counsel advises that it may assert. Nothing contained herein shall preclude participation by a Lender Party in the assertion or defense of its claims in any such proceeding involving any Securitization Entity. The obligations of the Issuer under this Agreement are solely the limited liability company or corporate, as the case may be, obligations of the Issuer.

(b) The Conduit Investors. Each of the parties hereto hereby covenants and agrees that it will not, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all Commercial Paper or other debt securities or instruments issued by a Conduit Investor, institute against, or join with any other Person in instituting against, such Conduit Investor, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, examination or liquidation proceedings, or other proceedings under any federal or state (or any other jurisdiction with authority over such Conduit Investor) bankruptcy or similar law; provided, however, that, subject to Section 9.10(d), nothing in this Section 9.10(b) shall constitute a waiver of any right to indemnification, reimbursement or other payment from such Conduit Investor pursuant to this Agreement. In the event that any such party takes action in violation of this Section 9.10(b), such related Conduit Investor may file an answer with the bankruptcy court or otherwise properly contest or cause to be contested the filing of such a petition by any such party against such Conduit Investor or the commencement of such action and raise or cause to be raised the defense that such party has agreed in writing not to take such action and should be estopped and precluded therefrom and such other defenses, if any, as its counsel advises that it may assert. Nothing contained herein shall preclude participation by any of the Securitization Entities, the Manager or a Lender Party in assertion or defense of its claims in any such proceeding involving a Conduit Investor. Subject to Section 9.10(d), the obligations of the Conduit Investors under this Agreement are solely the corporate obligations of the Conduit Investors. No recourse shall be had for the payment of any amount owing in respect of this Agreement, including any obligation or claim arising out of or based upon this Agreement, against any stockholder, employee, officer, agent, director, member, affiliate or incorporator (or Person similar to an incorporator under state business organization laws) of any Conduit Investor; provided, however, nothing in this Section 9.10(b) shall relieve any of the foregoing Persons from any liability that any such Person may otherwise have for its gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.

(c) [Reserved].

(d) Notwithstanding any provisions contained in this Agreement to the contrary, no Conduit Investor shall be obligated to pay any fees, costs, indemnified amounts or expenses due pursuant to this Agreement (“Conduit Investor Amounts”) other than in accordance with the order of priorities set out in such Conduit Investor’s commercial paper program documents and all payment obligations of each Conduit Investor hereunder are contingent on the availability of funds received pursuant to this Agreement or the Notes and in excess of the amounts necessary to pay its commercial paper notes; provided, however, that each Note Purchaser shall pay any Conduit Investor Amounts, on behalf of any Conduit Investor in such Note Purchaser’s Investment Group, as and when due hereunder, to the extent that such Conduit

50

Investor is precluded by its commercial paper program documents from paying such Conduit Investor Amounts in accordance with this Agreement. Any such amount which any Conduit Investor does not pay pursuant to the operation of the preceding sentence shall not constitute a claim against or corporate obligation of such Conduit Investor for any such insufficiency unless and until funds received pursuant to this Agreement or the Notes and are available for the payment of such amounts as aforesaid.

(e) The provisions of this Section 9.10 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

In connection with any assignment pursuant to this Section 9.17(a), unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Issuer, prior to consenting to any assignment, may require that this Agreement, the Fee Letter and the Series 2022-1 Supplement be amended on terms to be mutually agreed upon between the Administrative Agent and Issuer to provide that Advances and Subfacility Increases shall be made by the Note Purchasers on a committed basis.

53

(b) Without limiting the foregoing, subject to Sections 6.03 and 9.17(f), each Conduit Investor may assign all or a portion of the Investor Group Principal Amount with respect to such Conduit Investor and its rights and obligations under this Agreement, the Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Advance Notes and, in connection therewith, any other Transaction Documents to which it is a party to a Conduit Assignee with respect to such Conduit Investor, without the prior written consent of the Issuer. Upon such assignment by a Conduit Investor to a Conduit Assignee, (i) such Conduit Assignee shall be the owner of the Investor Group Principal Amount or such portion thereof with respect to such Conduit Investor, (ii) the related administrative or managing agent for such Conduit Assignee will act as the Funding Agent for such Conduit Assignee hereunder, with all corresponding rights and powers, express or implied, granted to the Funding Agent hereunder or under the other Transaction Documents, (iii) such Conduit Assignee and its liquidity support provider(s) and credit support provider(s) and other related parties, in each case relating to the Commercial Paper and/or the Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Advance Notes, shall have the benefit of all the rights and protections provided to such Conduit Investor herein and in the other Transaction Documents (including, without limitation, any limitation on recourse against such Conduit Assignee as provided in this paragraph), (iv) such Conduit Assignee shall assume all of such Conduit Investor’s obligations, if any, hereunder or under the Base Indenture or under any other Transaction Document with respect to such portion of the Investor Group Principal Amount and such Conduit Investor shall be released from such obligations, (v) all distributions in respect of the Investor Group Principal Amount or such portion thereof with respect to such Conduit Investor shall be made to the applicable Funding Agent on behalf of such Conduit Assignee, (vi) the definition of the term “CP Funding Rate” with respect to the portion of the Investor Group Principal Amount with respect to such Conduit Investor, as applicable, funded or maintained with commercial paper issued by such Conduit Assignee from time to time shall be determined in the manner set forth in the definition of “CP Funding Rate” applicable to such Conduit Assignee on the basis of the interest rate or discount applicable to Commercial Paper issued by or for the benefit of such Conduit Assignee (rather than any other Conduit Investor), (vii) the defined terms and other terms and provisions of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents shall be interpreted in accordance with the foregoing, and (viii) if requested by the Funding Agent with respect to such Conduit Assignee, the parties will execute and deliver such further agreements and documents and take such other actions as the Funding Agent may reasonably request to evidence and give effect to the foregoing. No assignment by any Conduit Investor to a Conduit Assignee of all or any portion of the Investor Group Principal Amount with respect to such Conduit Investor shall in any way diminish the obligation of the Note Purchasers in the same Investor Group as such Conduit Investor under Section 2.03 to fund any Increase not funded by such Conduit Investor or such Conduit Assignee.

(c) Subject to Sections 6.03 and 9.17(f), any Conduit Investor and the related Note Purchaser(s) may at any time sell all or any part of their respective rights and obligations under this Agreement, the Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Advance Notes and, in connection therewith, any other Transaction Documents to which it is a party, with the prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of the Issuer and the L/C Provider, to a multi-seller commercial paper conduit, whose commercial paper is rated at least “A-1” (or then equivalent grade) from S&P, and one or more financial institutions providing support to such multi-seller commercial paper conduit (an “Acquiring Investor Group”) pursuant to a transfer supplement, substantially in the form of Exhibit C (the “Investor Group Supplement” or “Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Investor Group Supplement”), executed by such Acquiring Investor Group, the Funding Agent with respect to such Acquiring Investor Group (including the Conduit Investor and the Note Purchasers with respect to such Investor Group), such assigning Conduit Investor and the Note Purchasers with respect to such Conduit Investor, the Funding Agent with respect to such assigning Conduit Investor and Note Purchasers, the Issuer and the L/C Provider and delivered to the Administrative Agent; provided that no consent of the Issuer shall be required for an assignment to another Note Purchaser or any Affiliate of a Note Purchaser and its related Conduit Investor or if a Rapid Amortization Event or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 9.17(c) is intended to permit and provide for (i) assignments from a Note Purchaser to a Conduit Investor in a different Investor Group and (ii) assignments from a Conduit Investor to a Note Purchaser in a different Investor group, and, in each of (i) and (ii), Exhibit C shall be revised to reflect such assignments.

54

(b) In the event that a Defaulting Investor desires to sell all or any portion of it rights, obligations and commitments under this Agreement, the Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Notes and, in connection therewith, any other Transaction Documents to which it is a party, to an unaffiliated third party assignee for an amount less than 100% (or, if only a portion of such rights, obligations and commitments are proposed to be sold, such portion) of such Defaulting Investor’s Note Purchaser Percentage of the related Investor Group Principal Amount of such Defaulting Investor and all accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to such Defaulting Investor hereunder, such Defaulting Investor shall promptly notify the Issuer of the proposed sale (the “Sale Notice”). Each Sale Notice shall certify that such Defaulting Investor has received a firm offer from the prospective unaffiliated third party and shall contain the material terms of the proposed sale, including, without limitation, the purchase price of the proposed sale and the portion of such Defaulting Investor’s rights, obligations and commitments proposed to be sold. The Issuer and its Affiliates shall have an option for a period of three (3) Business Days from the date the Sale Notice is given to elect to purchase such rights, obligations and commitments at the same price and subject to the same material terms as described in the Sale Notice. The Issuer or any of its Affiliates may exercise such purchase option by notifying such Defaulting Investor before expiration of such three (3) Business Days period that it wishes to purchase all (but not a portion) of the rights, obligations and commitments of such Defaulting Investor proposed to be sold to such unaffiliated third party. If the Issuer or any of its Affiliates gives notice to such Defaulting Investor that it desires to purchase such, rights, obligations and commitments, the Issuer or such Affiliate shall promptly pay the purchase price to such Defaulting Investor. If the Issuer or any of its Affiliates does not respond to any Sale Notice within such three (3) Business Days period, the Issuer and its Affiliates shall be deemed not to have exercised such purchase option.

55

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Investor becomes a Defaulting Investor, then, until such time as such Investor is no longer a Defaulting Investor, to the extent permitted by applicable law:

(i) Such Defaulting Investor’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 9.01.

(ii) Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts payable to the account of such Defaulting Investor (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity or otherwise) shall be applied (and the Issuer shall instruct the Trustee to apply such amounts) as follows: first, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Investor to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Investor to the L/C Provider hereunder; third, to provide cash collateral to the L/C Provider in accordance with Section 4.03(b) in an amount equal to the amount of Undrawn L/C Face Amounts at such time multiplied by the Commitment Percentage of such Defaulting Investor’s Investor Group multiplied by the Note Purchaser Percentage of such Defaulting Investor; fourth, as the Issuer may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Advance in respect of which such Defaulting Investor has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Issuer, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Investor’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Advances under this Agreement and (y) to provide cash collateral to the L/C Provider in accordance with Section 4.03(b) in an amount equal to the amount of any future Undrawn L/C Face Amounts multiplied by the Commitment Percentage of such Defaulting Investor’s Investor Group multiplied by the Note Purchaser Percentage of such Defaulting Investor; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Investors or the L/C Provider as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Investor against such Defaulting Investor as a result of such Defaulting Investor’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Issuer as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Issuer or the L/C Provider against such Defaulting Investor as a result of such Defaulting Investor’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Investor or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Advances or any extensions of credit resulting from a drawing under any Letter of Credit that has not been reimbursed as an Advance pursuant to Section 2.08(a) in respect of which such Defaulting Investor has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Advances were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 7.03 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Advances of, and extensions of credit resulting from a drawing under any Letter of Credit that has not been reimbursed as an Advance pursuant to Section 2.08(a) owed to, all non-Defaulting Investors on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Advances of, participations required to be purchased pursuant to Section 2.09(a) owed to, such Defaulting Investor until such time as all Advances and funded and unfunded participations in L/C Obligations are held by the Investors pro rata in accordance with the Commitments without giving effect to Section 9.18(c)(iii). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Investor that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Investor or to post cash collateral pursuant to this Section 9.18(c)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Investor, and each Investor irrevocably consents hereto.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Wingstop Inc. Completes $250 Million Securitization Transaction and

Declares Special Dividend of $4.00 Per Share

Dallas, TX. March 10, 2022—(PR NEWSWIRE)—Wingstop Inc. (“Wingstop” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: WING), completed a securitized financing transaction on March 9, 2022, which included the issuance of a new series of $250 million of securitized notes (the “Notes”). The Series 2022-1 Class A-2 Senior Secured Notes are subject to 1% annual amortization, bear interest at a rate of 3.734% per annum, and have an anticipated repayment date of March 2029. Interest and principal payments on the Notes are payable on a quarterly basis.

In addition to the Notes, the Company also entered into a $200 million variable funding note facility, which will allow the Company to borrow amounts as needed on a revolving basis and will replace the existing $50 million variable funding note facility. The variable funding note facility was undrawn at closing.

“Today’s announcement underscores the strength of our model and our ability to return capital to shareholders. Since our IPO, and including this $4.00 special dividend, we have returned more than $645 million of capital to shareholders.” commented Charlie Morrison, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Wingstop. “This transaction and the implementation of a $200M VFN strengthens our liquidity position and positions us to support our strategic growth initiatives to provide best-in-class returns for our Brand Partners.”

In conjunction with the completion of the securitized financing transaction, the Board of Directors has authorized and declared a special dividend of $4.00 per share of common stock payable to stockholders of record as of March 24, 2022, to be paid on April 7, 2022.

In addition to the special cash dividend payment, the repayment of the existing securitized financing indebtedness and transaction costs, the Company intends to use the additional net proceeds from the Notes to strengthen its liquidity position and for general corporate purposes.

While the tax treatment of the special dividend cannot be concluded with certainty until 2023, the Company expects approximately 50%—60% of the special dividend to be in excess of the Company’s earnings and profits, with the remaining 40%—50% treated as a dividend. Stockholders are encouraged to consult with their financial and tax advisers regarding the circumstances of their individual situation. Stockholders who sell their shares prior to the March 24, 2022 ex-dividend date will also sell their right to receive the special dividend.

Financial Outlook

After completing the securitized financing transaction, the Company is providing the following updates to its outlook for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022:

• Interest expense of approximately $23.5 million;

• An effective tax rate of approximately 27—28%; and

• Loss on debt extinguishment and transaction costs of approximately $1.0 million
