(b)               Allocations of Finance Charge Collections to the Series 2023-2 Notes. With respect to each date on which the Servicer deposits Collections into the Collection Account, the Indenture Trustee, at the direction of the Servicer as set forth in the Daily Servicer’s Certificate, shall allocate to the Series 2023-2 Noteholders and retain in the Collection Account for application as provided herein an amount equal to the product of (i) the Series 2023-2 Floating Allocation Percentage and (ii) the amount of Finance Charge Collections deposited into the Collection Account on such date.

(c)               Allocations of Principal Collections to the Series 2023-2 Notes. With respect to each date on which the Servicer deposits Collections into the Collection Account, the Indenture Trustee, at the direction of the Servicer as set forth in the Daily Servicer’s Certificate, shall allocate to the Series 2023-2 Noteholders an amount equal to the product of (i) the Series 2023-2 Principal Allocation Percentage and (ii) the amount of Principal Collections deposited into the Collection Account on such date.

With respect to each day during a Monthly Period, the Indenture Trustee, at the direction of the Servicer, shall allocate to the Series 2023-2 Notes an amount equal to the product of (i) the Series 2023-2 Floating Allocation Percentage for such day and (ii) the portion of the Default Amount attributable to Receivables that became Defaulted Receivables on such day.

 23 
 

(e)               Allocations of the Servicing Fee to the Series 2023-2 Notes. With respect to each Monthly Period, the Indenture Trustee, at the direction of the Servicer, shall on or prior to the applicable Note Transfer Date allocate to the Series 2023-2 Notes an amount equal to the product of (i) the average of the Series 2023-2 Floating Allocation Percentages for all days during such Monthly Period and (ii) the Servicing Fee with respect to such Monthly Period.

(f)                Release of Principal Collections to Purchase Receivables and Pay Optional Amortization Amounts.

The release of Principal Collections under this Section 4.01(f) to make the payments described in clauses (i) and (ii) of the preceding sentence, shall be subject to the following limitations: (1) no Principal Collections may be released if an Early Amortization Event has occurred and is continuing for one or more Series of Notes in Shared Excess Available Principal Collections Group One; (2) on each date of transfer only the excess of (a) the amount determined pursuant to Section 4.01(c), over (b) an amount equal to the product of (i) the amount determined pursuant to Section 4.01(c), and (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Class B Stated Principal Amount and the denominator of which is the Series 2023-2 Stated Principal Amount, may be released; and (3) if one or more Series of Notes in Shared Excess Available Principal Collections Group One is in an Amortization Period, no Principal Collections for such Monthly Period may be released if the amount of Principal Collections remaining in the Collection Account for such Monthly Period allocable to Shared Excess Available Principal Collections Group One would be less than the sum of the required principal deposits and payments with respect to the Payment Date for the related Monthly Period for such Series of Notes in Shared Excess Available Principal Collections Group One in an Amortization Period (excluding any Optional Amortization Amounts for such Series).

Section 4.02        Determination of Series 2023-2 Monthly Interest; Benchmark Replacement.

(a)               The amount of monthly interest (“Class A Monthly Interest”) distributable from the Collection Account with respect to the Class A Notes for any Payment Date shall be an amount equal to the product of (i) (x) a fraction, the numerator of which is the actual number of days in the applicable Interest Period and the denominator of which is 360, times (y) the Class A Note Interest Rate in effect for the related Interest Period and (ii) the Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of the Class A Notes as of the close of business on the Record Date.

On the Note Transfer Date preceding each Payment Date, the Servicer shall determine the excess, if any (the “Class A Interest Shortfall”), of (i) the Class A Monthly Interest for such Payment Date over (ii) the aggregate amount of funds retained in the Collection Account and allocated and available to pay such Class A Monthly Interest on such Payment Date. If the Class A Interest Shortfall with respect to any Payment Date is greater than zero, on each subsequent Payment Date until such Class A Interest Shortfall is fully paid, an additional amount (“Class A Additional Interest”) equal to the product of (i) (x) a fraction, the numerator of which is the actual number of days in the applicable Interest Period and the denominator of which is 360,

 24 
 

times (y) the Class A Note Interest Rate in effect for the related Interest Period plus 2% per annum and (ii) such Class A Interest Shortfall (or the portion thereof which has not been paid to the Class A Noteholders) shall be payable as provided herein with respect to the Class A Notes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Class A Additional Interest shall be payable or distributed to the Class A Noteholders only to the extent permitted by applicable law.

(b)               The amount of monthly interest (“Class B Monthly Interest”) distributable from the Collection Account with respect to the Class B Notes for any Payment Date shall be an amount equal to the product of (i) (x) a fraction, the numerator of which is thirty (30) and the denominator of which is 360, times (y) the Class B Note Interest Rate in effect for the related Interest Period and (ii) the Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of the Class B Notes as of the close of business on the Record Date.

On the Note Transfer Date preceding each Payment Date, the Servicer shall determine the excess, if any (the “Class B Interest Shortfall”), of (i) the Class B Monthly Interest for such Payment Date over (ii) the aggregate amount of funds retained in the Collection Account and allocated and available to pay such Class B Monthly Interest on such Payment Date. If the Class B Interest Shortfall with respect to any Payment Date is greater than zero, on each subsequent Payment Date until such Class B Interest Shortfall is fully paid, an additional amount (“Class B Additional Interest”) equal to the product of (i) (x) a fraction, the numerator of which is thirty (30) and the denominator of which is 360, times (y) the Class B Note Interest Rate in effect for the related Interest Period plus 2% per annum and (ii) such Class B Interest Shortfall (or the portion thereof which has not been paid to the Class B Noteholders) shall be payable as provided herein with respect to the Class B Notes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Class B Additional Interest shall be payable or distributed to the Class B Noteholders only to the extent permitted by applicable law.

(c)               So long as the Class A Notes are outstanding, the Paying Agent shall obtain the SOFR Rate in accordance with the definition of “SOFR Rate” on each SOFR Adjustment Date and shall notify the Administrator for each Interest Period. The SOFR Rate obtained by the Paying Agent, in the absence of manifest error, will be conclusive and binding on the Series 2023-2 Noteholders.

(d)               If the Administrator determines prior to the relevant Reference Time that a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the determination of the then-current Benchmark, the Benchmark Replacement determined by the Administrator will replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes relating to the Class A Notes in respect of such determination on such date and all such determinations on all subsequent dates. The Administrator shall deliver written notice to each Rating Agency and the Indenture Trustee on any SOFR Adjustment Date if, as of the applicable Reference Time, the Administrator has determined with respect to the related Interest Period that there will be a change in the SOFR Rate or the terms related thereto since the immediately preceding SOFR Adjustment Date due to a determination by the Administrator that a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred. The Administrator shall have the right to make SOFR Adjustment Conforming Changes and, in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, from time to time.

 25 
 

(e)               All percentages resulting from any calculation on the Class A Notes shall be rounded to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point, with five-millionths of a percentage point rounded upwards (e.g., 9.8765445% (or 0.098765445) would be rounded to 9.87655% (or 0.0987655)), and all dollar amounts used in or resulting from that calculation on the Class A Notes will be rounded to the nearest cent (with one-half cent being rounded upwards).

(f)                Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrator or any other Person in connection with a Benchmark Transition Event, a Benchmark Replacement Conforming Change, a SOFR Adjustment Conforming Change or a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this Section 4.2 (or pursuant to any capitalized term used in this Section 4.2 or in any such capitalized term), including any determination with respect to administrative feasibility (whether due to technical, administrative or operational issues), a tenor, rate, an adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error, may be made in the Administrator’s sole discretion, and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Transaction Documents, will become effective without the consent of any other Person (including any Series 2023-2 Noteholder). No Series 2023-2 Noteholder will have any right to approve or disapprove of these changes and shall be deemed by their acceptance of a Note to have agreed to waive and release any and all claims relating to any such determinations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture Supplement or any of the other Transaction Documents, none of BBD, the Transferor, the Issuing Entity, the Indenture Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Owner Trustee will have any liability for any action or inaction taken or refrained from being taken by it with respect to any SOFR Adjustment Conforming Changes, Benchmark, Benchmark Transition Event, Benchmark Replacement Date, Benchmark Replacement, Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement, Benchmark Replacement Adjustment, Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes or any other matters related to or arising in connection with the foregoing. Each Series 2023-2 Noteholder and beneficial owner of Series 2023-2 Notes, by its acceptance of a Series 2023-2 Note or a beneficial interest in a Series 2023-2 Note, will be deemed to waive and release any and all claims against BBD, the Transferor, the Issuing Entity, the Indenture Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Owner Trustee relating to any such determinations.

(g)               None of the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee or the Paying Agent shall be under any obligation (i) to monitor, determine or verify the unavailability or cessation of the SOFR Rate (or other applicable Benchmark), or whether or when there has occurred, or to give notice to any other transaction party of the occurrence of, any Benchmark Transition Event or related Benchmark Replacement Date, (ii) to select, determine or designate any Benchmark Replacement, or other successor or replacement benchmark index, or to determine whether any conditions to the designation of such a rate or index have been satisfied, (iii) to select, determine or designate any Benchmark Replacement Adjustment or Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement, or other modifier to any replacement or successor index or (iv) to determine whether or what SOFR Adjustment Conforming Changes or Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes are necessary or advisable, if any, in connection with any of the foregoing, including, but not limited to, as to any spread adjustment thereon, the business day convention, interest determination dates or any other relevant methodology applicable to such substitute or successor Benchmark.

 26 
 

(h)               In no event will the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee or the Paying Agent be responsible for (i) making any decision or election in connection with a Benchmark Transition Event or a Benchmark Replacement including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event or (ii) determining the SOFR Rate or any substitute for the SOFR Rate if such rate does not appear on the FRBNY’s Website or on a comparable system as is customarily used to quote the SOFR Rate or such substitute for the SOFR Rate. In connection with any of the matters referenced in clauses (g) and (h) of this Section 4.2, the Indenture Trustee and the Paying Agent will be entitled to conclusively rely on any determinations made by the Administrator (on behalf of the Issuer), in regards to such matters and will have no liability for such actions taken at the direction of the Administrator (on behalf of the Issuer).

(i)                 None of the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee or the Paying Agent shall be liable for any inability, failure or delay on its part to perform any of its duties set forth in this Indenture or any other Transaction Document as a result of the unavailability of the SOFR Rate or other applicable Benchmark and the absence of a designated Benchmark Replacement, including as a result of any failure, inability, delay, error or inaccuracy on the part of any other transaction party, including without limitation, the Servicer or the Administrator (on behalf of the Issuer), in providing any direction, instruction, notice or information required or contemplated by the terms of this Indenture Supplement and the other Transaction Documents and reasonably required for the performance of such duties. Neither the Indenture Trustee nor the Paying Agent will be responsible or liable for the actions or omissions of the Administrator, or for any failure or delay in the performance by the Administrator, nor shall the Indenture Trustee or Paying Agent be under any obligation to oversee or monitor the performance of the Administrator.

(j)                 Neither the Paying Agent nor the Indenture Trustee shall have any liability for any interest rate published by any publication that is the source for determining the Interest Rates of the Class A Notes, including but not limited to the Reuters Screen (or any successor source), the FRBNY's website, the Bloomberg Financial Markets Commodities News or any successor thereto, or for any rates published on any publicly available source or in any of the foregoing cases for any delay, error or inaccuracy in the publication of any such rates, or for any subsequent correction or adjustment thereto.

Section 4.03        Determination of Series 2023-2 Monthly Principal. The amount of monthly principal made available with respect to the Series 2023-2 Notes for any Payment Date (the “Series 2023-2 Monthly Principal”), shall be equal to (a) during the Revolving Period, zero and (b) beginning with the Payment Date in the month following the month in which the Controlled Accumulation Period or, if earlier, the Early Amortization Period, begins, shall be equal to the least of (i) the Series 2023-2 Available Principal Collections, less any amount released and used to purchase Receivables under Section 4.01(f), currently on deposit in the Collection Account with respect to such Payment Date, (ii) for each Payment Date with respect to the Controlled Accumulation Period, the Controlled Deposit Amount for such Payment Date and (iii) the Allocation Amount for such Payment Date (after taking into account any adjustments to be made on such Payment Date pursuant to Section 4.04, Section 4.07, and Section 4.08).

 27 
 

the Indenture Trustee in writing, to withdraw from the Collection Account and deposit into the Distribution Account from the Series 2023-2 Available Finance Charge Collections with respect to the related Payment Date an amount equal to the amount determined under Section 4.04(a). The Servicer shall apply, or shall instruct the Indenture Trustee in writing (which writing shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit B-3), to apply on each Payment Date, (i) the Series 2023-2 Available Finance Charge Collections with respect to the related Payment Date on deposit in the Collection Account and (ii) with respect to Section 4.04(a) the funds on deposit in the Distribution Account, as applicable, in the following priority:

Section 4.05        Application of Series 2023-2 Available Principal Collections.

(a)               On or before each Payment Date with respect to the Revolving Period, an amount equal to Series 2023-2 Available Principal Collections deposited in the Collection Account with respect to the related Monthly Period, less any amount released and used to purchase Receivables under Section 4.01(f), shall be treated as Shared Excess Available Principal Collections with respect to such Monthly Period.

(b)               With respect to the Controlled Accumulation Period or the Early Amortization Period, an amount equal to the Series 2023-2 Available Principal Collections, less any amount released and used to purchase Receivables under Section 4.01(f), currently on deposit in the Collection Account for the related Monthly Period, shall be distributed or deposited on the following dates and in the following order of priority:

Unless the Servicer directs otherwise, funds deposited in the Principal Funding Account on a Note Transfer Date upon the maturity of any Eligible Investments are not required to be invested. No such Eligible Investment shall be disposed of prior to its maturity; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee shall sell, liquidate or dispose of any such Eligible Investment if, prior to the maturity of such Eligible Investment, a default occurs in the payment of principal, interest or any other amount with respect to such Eligible Investment; provided further, however, that the Servicer shall deliver prompt written notice to the Indenture Trustee of any such default; and provided further, that, subject to Section 8.01 of the Indenture, the Indenture Trustee shall not in any way be held liable by reason of any insufficiency in such Principal Funding Account resulting from any loss on any Eligible Investment included therein except for losses attributable to the Indenture Trustee’s failure to make payments on such Eligible Investments issued by the Indenture Trustee, in its commercial capacity, in accordance with their terms.

 30 
 

(iii)            On each Note Transfer Date with respect to the Controlled Accumulation Period, the Servicer shall direct the Indenture Trustee in writing to withdraw from the Principal Funding Account and deposit into the Collection Account all Principal Funding Account Investment Proceeds, if any, then on deposit in the Principal Funding Account and such Principal Funding Account Investment Proceeds, if any, shall be treated as a portion of Series 2023-2 Available Finance Charge Collections.

(iv)             Reinvested interest and other investment income on funds deposited in the Principal Funding Account shall not be considered to be principal amounts on deposit therein for purposes of this Indenture Supplement.

(b)               (i) The Indenture Trustee shall possess all right, title and interest in all funds and property from time to time credited to the Principal Funding Account and in all proceeds thereof. The Principal Funding Account shall be under the exclusive control of the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Series 2023-2 Noteholders. If, at any time (i) the Principal Funding Account ceases to be an Eligible Deposit Account, the Indenture Trustee (or the Servicer or the Owner Trustee for the Issuer) shall within thirty (30) Business Days (or such longer period upon satisfaction of the Note Rating Agency Condition, but in any event not to exceed forty-five (45) Business Days) establish a new Principal Funding Account meeting the conditions specified in Section 4.06(a)(i) above as an Eligible Deposit Account and shall transfer any funds or other property to such new Principal Funding Account or (ii) the Issuer determines for any reason that the Principal Funding Account should be held at a different Eligible Institution, then upon prior written notice to the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer shall establish or cause to be established a new Principal Funding Account that is an Eligible Deposit Account and shall transfer any funds or other property from such Principal Funding Account to such new Principal Funding account. From the date each such new Principal Funding Account is established, it shall be the “Principal Funding Account.”

(ii)              Pursuant to the authority granted to the Servicer in Section 3.1 of the Servicing Agreement, the Servicer shall have the power to instruct the Indenture Trustee to make withdrawals and payments from the Principal Funding Account for the purposes of carrying out the Servicer’s or Indenture Trustee’s duties hereunder.

(c)               The Controlled Accumulation Period is scheduled to commence the first Business Day of the month that is twelve (12) calendar months prior to the Expected Final Payment Date; provided, however, that if the Controlled Accumulation Period Length (determined as described below) is less than twelve (12) months, then the date on which the Controlled Accumulation Period actually commences will be the first Business Day of the month that is the number of whole months prior to the Expected Final Payment Date at least equal to the Controlled Accumulation Period Length. On or before the second Business Day immediately preceding the first Business Day of the month that is twelve (12) months prior to the Expected Final Payment Date, the Servicer shall determine the “Controlled Accumulation Period Length,” which shall equal the number of months not less than the number of whole calendar months reasonably expected by the Servicer to be necessary to accumulate from Series 2023-2 Available Principal Collections and Shared Excess Available Principal Collections expected to be available to Series 2023-2 from other Shared Excess Available Principal Collections Series during the Controlled Accumulation Period an amount equal to the Series 2023-2 Stated Principal Amount; provided,

 31 
 

however, that the Controlled Accumulation Period Length shall not be determined to be less than one month.

Section 4.07        Investor Charge-Offs. On or prior to each Note Transfer Date, the Servicer shall calculate the Series 2023-2 Default Amount, if any, for the related Payment Date. If, for any Payment Date, the Series 2023-2 Default Amount for the related Monthly Period exceeds the amount available therefor pursuant to Section 4.04(d) with respect to such Monthly Period, the Allocation Amount will be reduced by the amount of such excess, but not by more than the Series 2023-2 Default Amount for such Payment Date (such reduction, an “Investor Charge-Off”).

Section 4.08        Reallocated Principal Collections. On each Payment Date, the Servicer shall apply, to the extent permitted herein, or shall instruct the Indenture Trustee in writing to apply Reallocated Principal Collections with respect to such Payment Date, in an amount equal to the lesser of (a) the Series 2023-2 Principal Collections, less any amount released and used to purchase Receivables under Section 4.01(f), for the related Monthly Period or (b) the Monthly Subordination Amount for such Payment Date in accordance with the priority set forth in Sections 4.04(a) and (b). On each Payment Date, the Allocation Amount shall be reduced by the amount of Reallocated Principal Collections for such Payment Date.

Section 4.09        Shared Excess Available Finance Charge Collections.

(a)               Series 2023-2 shall be included in Shared Excess Available Finance Charge Collections Group One for the purpose of sharing Shared Excess Available Finance Charge Collections.

(b)               Unless otherwise provided pursuant to the terms of Section 4.11 of the Indenture, Shared Excess Available Finance Charge Collections with respect to any Monthly Period shall be shared within Shared Excess Available Finance Charge Collections Group One to cover the applicable Series Available Finance Charge Collections Shortfalls for such Monthly Period, if any, and applied on the Note Transfer Date in the immediately succeeding Monthly Period for each Shared Excess Available Finance Charge Collections Group Series with a Series Available Finance Charge Collections Shortfall for such Monthly Period. Shared Excess Available Finance Charge Collections allocable to Series 2023-2 with respect to each Monthly Period shall mean an amount equal to the Series Available Finance Charge Collections Shortfall, if any, with respect to Series 2023-2 for such Monthly Period; provided, however, that if the aggregate amount of Shared Excess Available Finance Charge Collections for all Series in Shared Excess Available Finance Charge Collections Group One for each Monthly Period is less than the Aggregate Series Available Finance Charge Collections Shortfall for such Monthly Period, then Shared Excess Available Finance Charge Collections allocable to Series 2023-2 with respect to such Monthly Period shall equal the product of (i) Shared Excess Available Finance Charge Collections for all Series in Shared Excess Available Finance Charge Collections Group One for such Monthly Period and (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Series Available Finance Charge Collections Shortfall with respect to Series 2023-2 for such Monthly Period and the denominator of which is the Aggregate Series Available Finance Charge Collections Shortfall for such Monthly Period.

(c)               Unless otherwise specified in the Indenture Supplement for any other Series in Shared Excess Available Finance Charge Collections Group One, any Shared Excess Available

 32 
 

Finance Charge Collections for each Series in Shared Excess Available Finance Charge Collections Group One for any Monthly Period which shall remain after application pursuant to clause (b) above shall be paid to the holders of the Transferor Interest. Shared Excess Available Finance Charge Collections will not be available for application by other Series of Notes that are not included in Shared Excess Available Finance Charge Collections Group One.

Section 4.10        Shared Excess Available Principal Collections.

(a)               Series 2023-2 shall be included in Shared Excess Available Principal Collections Group One for the purpose of sharing Shared Excess Available Principal Collections.

(b)               Unless otherwise provided pursuant to the terms of Section 4.11 of the Indenture, Shared Excess Available Principal Collections with respect to any Monthly Period shall be shared within Shared Excess Available Principal Collections Group One to cover the applicable Series Available Principal Collections Shortfalls for such Monthly Period, if any, for each Shared Excess Available Principal Collections Series with a Series Available Principal Collections Shortfall for such Monthly Period, and such Shared Excess Available Principal Collections allocable to Series 2023-2 shall be distributed or deposited on the dates and in the order of priority provided for under Sections 4.05(b)(i)-(iii). Shared Excess Available Principal Collections allocable to Series 2023-2 with respect to each Monthly Period shall mean an amount equal to the Series Available Principal Collections Shortfall, if any, with respect to Series 2023-2 for such Monthly Period; provided, however, that if the aggregate amount of Shared Excess Available Principal Collections for all Series in Shared Excess Available Principal Collections Group One for each Monthly Period is less than the Aggregate Series Available Principal Collections Shortfall for such Monthly Period, then Shared Excess Available Principal Collections allocable to Series 2023-2 with respect to such Monthly Period shall equal the product of (i) Shared Excess Available Principal Collections for all Series in Shared Excess Available Principal Collections Group One for such Monthly Period and (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Series Available Principal Collections Shortfall with respect to Series 2023-2 for such Monthly Period and the denominator of which is the Aggregate Series Available Principal Collections Shortfall for such Monthly Period.

(c)               Unless otherwise specified in the Indenture Supplement for any other Series in Shared Excess Available Principal Collections Group One, any Shared Excess Available Principal Collections for each Series in Shared Excess Available Principal Collections Group One for any Monthly Period which shall remain after application pursuant to clause (b) above shall be paid to the holders of the Transferor Interest. Shared Excess Available Principal Collections will not be available for application by other Series of Notes that are not included in Shared Excess Available Principal Collections Group One.

Section 4.11        Accumulation Reserve Account.

(a)               The Servicer shall cause to be established and maintain an Eligible Deposit Account (the “Accumulation Reserve Account”) bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds and other property credited thereto are held for the benefit of the Indenture Trustee and the Series 2023-2 Noteholders in accordance with Section 5.02(c) of the Indenture. The Indenture Trustee shall possess all right, title and interest in all funds and property from time to time credited

 33 
 

to the Accumulation Reserve Account and in all proceeds thereof. The Accumulation Reserve Account shall be under the exclusive control of the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Series 2023-2 Noteholders. If at any time (i) the Accumulation Reserve Account ceases to be an Eligible Deposit Account, the Transferor shall notify the Indenture Trustee, and the Indenture Trustee upon being notified in writing of such ineligibility (or the Servicer or the Owner Trustee for the Issuer) shall within thirty (30) Business Days (or such longer period not to exceed forty-five (45) Business Days upon satisfaction of the Note Rating Agency Condition) establish a new Accumulation Reserve Account meeting the conditions specified above as an Eligible Deposit Account, and shall transfer any funds or other property to such new Accumulation Reserve Account or (ii) the Issuer determines for any reason that the Accumulation Reserve Account should be held at a different Eligible Institution, then upon prior written notice to the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer shall establish or cause to be established a new Accumulation Reserve Account that is an Eligible Deposit Account and shall transfer any funds or other property from such Accumulation Reserve Account to such new Accumulation Reserve Account. From the date each such new Accumulation Reserve Account is established, it shall be the “Accumulation Reserve Account.” The Indenture Trustee, at the direction of the Servicer, shall (i) make withdrawals from the Accumulation Reserve Account from time to time in an amount up to the Available Accumulation Reserve Account Amount at such time, for the purposes set forth in this Indenture Supplement, and (ii) on each Payment Date during the Accumulation Reserve Account Funding Period make a deposit into the Accumulation Reserve Account in the amount specified in, and otherwise in accordance with, Section 4.04(f).

(b)               If a securities intermediary has been appointed, funds on deposit in the Accumulation Reserve Account, on any Note Transfer Date, after giving effect to any withdrawals from the Accumulation Reserve Account on such Note Transfer Date, shall be invested by the Indenture Trustee in Eligible Investments selected by the Servicer in accordance with written instructions from the Servicer; provided, that the funds are invested in investments that shall mature so that such funds shall be available for withdrawal on or prior to the following Note Transfer Date. Absent such direction, funds in the Accumulation Reserve Account shall remain uninvested. No such Eligible Investment shall be disposed of prior to its maturity; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee shall sell, liquidate or dispose of any such Eligible Investment if, prior to the maturity of such Eligible Investment, a default occurs in the payment of principal, interest or any other amount with respect to such Eligible Investment; provided further, however, that the Servicer shall deliver prompt written notice to the Indenture Trustee of any such default; and provided further, that, subject to Section 8.01 of the Indenture, the Indenture Trustee shall not in any way be held liable by reason of any insufficiency in such Accumulation Reserve Account resulting from any loss on any Eligible Investment included therein; provided further, however, that the foregoing proviso will not limit any amounts payable by U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association on any such Eligible Investments issued by U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, in its commercial capacity, in accordance with their terms. On each Note Transfer Date, all interest and earnings (net of losses and investment expenses) accrued since the preceding Note Transfer Date on funds on deposit in the Accumulation Reserve Account shall be retained in the Accumulation Reserve Account (to the extent that the Available Accumulation Reserve Account Amount is less than the Required Accumulation Reserve Account Amount) and the balance, if any, shall be deposited in the Collection Account for application in accordance with Section 4.04. For purposes of determining the availability of funds or the balance in the Accumulation Reserve Account for any reason under this Indenture Supplement, except as

 34 
 

otherwise provided in the preceding sentence, investment earnings, if any, on such funds shall be deemed not to be available or on deposit.

(c)               On the Note Transfer Date preceding (i) each Payment Date with respect to the Controlled Accumulation Period and (ii) the first Payment Date of the Early Amortization Period, the Servicer shall calculate the “Accumulation Reserve Draw Amount” which shall be equal to the excess, if any, of the Covered Amount with respect to such Payment Date over the Principal Funding Account Investment Proceeds with respect to such Payment Date.

(d)               In the event that for any Payment Date the Accumulation Reserve Draw Amount is greater than zero, the Accumulation Reserve Draw Amount, up to the Available Accumulation Reserve Account Amount, shall be (i) withdrawn from the Accumulation Reserve Account on the Note Transfer Date on which such Accumulation Reserve Draw Amount is calculated by the Indenture Trustee (acting in accordance with the instructions of the Servicer) and (ii) deposited into the Collection Account for application as Series 2023-2 Available Finance Charge Collections for such Payment Date.

(e)               In the event that the Accumulation Reserve Account Surplus on any Payment Date, after giving effect to all deposits to and withdrawals from the Accumulation Reserve Account with respect to such Payment Date, is greater than zero, the Indenture Trustee (acting in accordance with the instructions of the Servicer) shall withdraw from the Accumulation Reserve Account, and pay to the Owner Trustee for distribution in accordance with the Trust Agreement an amount equal to such Accumulation Reserve Account Surplus.

(f)                Upon the earliest to occur of (i) the day on which the Allocation Amount is reduced to zero, (ii) the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to the Series 2023-2 Notes and acceleration of such Series 2023-2 Notes pursuant to Section 7.02 of the Indenture, the first Payment Date with respect to the Early Amortization Period, (iii) the Expected Final Payment Date, and (iv) the termination of the Trust pursuant to the Trust Agreement, the Indenture Trustee (acting in accordance with the instructions of the Servicer) after the prior payment of all amounts owing to the Series 2023-2 Noteholders which are payable from the Accumulation Reserve Account as provided herein, shall withdraw from the Accumulation Reserve Account and pay to the holders of the Transferor Interest all amounts, if any, on deposit in the Accumulation Reserve Account and the Accumulation Reserve Account shall be deemed to have terminated for purposes of this Indenture Supplement.

(g)               Notwithstanding the foregoing, following an Event of Default with respect to the Series 2023-2 Notes and acceleration of such Series 2023-2 Notes, any Accumulation Reserve Account Surplus or other amounts on deposit in the Accumulation Reserve Account shall be applied toward payment of any amounts owing with respect to the Series 2023-2 Notes before such amounts are paid to the holders of the Transferor Interest.

Section 4.12        Investment Instructions. Any investment instructions given to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the terms hereof must be given to the Indenture Trustee no later than 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the date such investment is to be made. In the event the Indenture Trustee receives such investment instruction later than such time, the Indenture Trustee may, but shall have no obligation to, make such investment. In the event the Indenture Trustee is unable to make an

 35 
 

investment required in an investment instruction received by the Indenture Trustee after 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on such day, such investment shall be made by the Indenture Trustee on the next succeeding Business Day. In no event shall the Indenture Trustee be liable for any investment not made pursuant to investment instructions received after 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the day such investment is requested to be made.

(b)               Such a sale will be permitted only if at least one of the following conditions is met:

(i)                 the Holders of more than 90% of the aggregate Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of the Series 2023-2 Notes consent; or

(ii)              the net proceeds of such sale (plus amounts on deposit in the Issuer Accounts) would be sufficient to pay all amounts due on the Series 2023-2 Notes; or

(iii)            the Indenture Trustee in consultation with the Servicer determines that the funds to be allocated to the Series 2023-2 Notes, including (1) Series 2023-2 Available Finance Charge Collections and Series 2023-2 Available Principal Collections and (2) amounts on deposit in the Issuer Accounts, may not be sufficient on an ongoing basis to make all payments on the Series 2023-2 Notes as such payments would have become due if such obligations had not been declared due and payable, and Series 2023-2 Noteholders evidencing more than 66⅔% of the aggregate Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of the Series 2023-2 Notes consent to the sale; provided, that the Issuer will provide the Indenture Trustee with the information reasonably requested by the Indenture Trustee to make such determination.

(c)               If the Allocation Amount is greater than zero on the Legal Maturity Date (after giving effect to any allocations, deposits and payments otherwise to be made on that Legal Maturity Date), the Indenture Trustee shall, no later than the Legal Maturity Date, sell or cause to be sold Principal Receivables (or interests therein) in an amount not to exceed the Allocation Amount as of the close of business on the day preceding such sale, plus any related Finance Charge Receivables.

 36 
 

(d)               Upon the occurrence of such sale, the Allocation Amount shall be automatically reduced to zero and Principal Collections and Finance Charge Collections shall no longer be allocated to the Series 2023-2 Notes.

(e)               Sale proceeds received with respect to the Series 2023-2 Notes pursuant to clause (a) or (c) above will be applied as specified in Section 7.06 of the Indenture, and amounts available for application pursuant to clause (b) of Section 7.06 should be allocated and paid in the following priority:

first, to the Class A Noteholders, until the Class A Stated Principal Amount and all current and past due Class A Monthly Interest and Class A Additional Interest has been paid in full; and

second, to the Class B Noteholders, until the Class B Stated Principal Amount and all current and past due Class B Monthly Interest and Class B Additional Interest has been paid in full.

Section 4.15        Distribution Account. The Issuer shall cause to be established and maintained an Eligible Deposit Account (the “Distribution Account”), bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds and other property credited thereto are held for the benefit of the Indenture Trustee and the Class A Noteholders in accordance with Section 5.02(c) of the Indenture. The Indenture Trustee shall possess all right, title and interest in all funds and property from time to time credited to the Distribution Account and in all proceeds thereof. The Distribution Account shall be under the exclusive control of the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Class A Noteholders. If, at any time the Distribution Account ceases to be an Eligible Deposit Account, the Indenture Trustee shall within thirty (30) Business Days (or such longer period upon satisfaction of the Note Rating Agency Condition, but in any event not to exceed forty-five (45) Business Days) establish a new Distribution Account meeting the conditions specified above as an Eligible Deposit Account and shall transfer any funds or other property to such new Distribution Account. Pursuant to the authority granted to the Servicer in Section 3.1 of the Servicing Agreement, the Servicer shall have the power to instruct the Indenture Trustee to make withdrawals and payments from the Distribution Account for the purposes of carrying out the Servicer’s or Indenture Trustee’s duties hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, funds on deposit in the Distribution Account shall not be invested.

If due to the introduction or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulations or the imposition of any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority, in each case after the date hereof, the Delinquency Trigger Percentage (in the reasonable good faith judgment of the Servicer) should be re-determined, the Servicer shall submit to the Indenture Trustee an Officer’s Certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for the re-determination and the revised Delinquency Trigger Percentage. In the absence of manifest error, and following the delivery of such Officer’s Certificate to the Indenture Trustee,

 37 
 

the revised Delinquency Trigger Percentage shall be effective as of the date such revised Delinquency Trigger Percentage is reported in the Monthly Noteholders’ Statement.

Section 4.17        Asset Review.

(a)               Upon the occurrence of a Delinquency Trigger Event any Noteholder, including any Note Owner, of an Outstanding Note shall have the right with respect to such Delinquency Trigger Event to initiate a vote to determine whether or not to direct the Asset Representations Reviewer to undertake a review of Sixty Day Delinquent Assets to determine whether or not such Sixty Day Delinquent Assets complied with the ARR Representations and Warranties (the “ARR Review”). Upon disclosure of the occurrence of a Delinquency Trigger Event in the Monthly Noteholders’ Statement relating to the Monthly Period when the Delinquency Trigger Event occurred, Noteholders shall have 90 days from the date of such disclosure to determine whether or not to initiate a vote. In order to initiate a vote, during such 90 day period Noteholders must send written notification to the Indenture Trustee indicating that in light of the occurrence of a Delinquency Trigger Event (such Delinquency Trigger Event to be specified in such written notification) they are in favor of initiating a vote with respect to such specified Delinquency Trigger Event to determine whether or not to direct the Asset Representations Reviewer to undertake an ARR Review. The Indenture Trustee shall record the written notifications received from Noteholders during such 90 day period as they relate to each identified Delinquency Trigger Event. Prior, however, to recording any written notification received during such 90 day period, the Indenture Trustee must receive verification from any Note Owner that it is in fact a Holder of a beneficial interest in an Outstanding Note. Such verification shall be in the form of (x) a written certification from such Note Owner and (y) one other form of documentation such as a trade confirmation, account statement, a letter from a broker or dealer, or other similar document. The Indenture Trustee may also set a record date for purposes of determining the identity of Noteholders in accordance with the Trust Indenture Act Section 316(c). If at any time during such 90 day period Noteholders holding no less than 5% of the aggregate Adjusted Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of all Outstanding Notes (determined as of the date the Delinquency Trigger Event occurred) are recorded by the Indenture Trustee with respect to a specified Delinquency Trigger Event as being in favor of initiating a vote to determine whether or not to direct the Asset Representations Reviewer to undertake an ARR Review, then promptly after the date of recordation of such 5% with respect to such Delinquency Trigger Event a vote shall be initiated and undertaken pursuant to standard vote solicitation procedures of the Indenture Trustee which may include the use of a vote solicitation/tabulation agent and the voting guidelines promulgated by the DTC relating to notes registered in the name of Cede & Co. If initiated, the Issuer shall include in its Securities Exchange Act Form 10-D filing related to the Monthly Period in which such vote was initiated (a) the date such vote was initiated, (b) the timeline for submitting a vote, and (c) a statement to the effect that Noteholders can exercise their right to vote, by proxy or otherwise, in accordance with, as applicable, the applicable DTC voting guidelines and procedures. BBD, in its individual capacity, shall pay all costs, expenses and liabilities incurred by the Indenture Trustee, the Transferor and the Issuer in connection with the voting process. The vote as to whether or not to undertake an ARR Review shall be completed within 150 days of disclosure in the Monthly Noteholders’ Statement of the occurrence of a Delinquency Trigger Event. If at the end of such 150 day period Noteholders holding more than 50% of the aggregate Adjusted Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of Noteholders casting a vote, cast such vote in favor of an ARR Review, then the Asset Representations Reviewer (upon receipt of notification

 38 
 

from the Servicer) shall undertake an ARR Review. The Sixty Day Delinquent Assets reviewed shall be those reported in and relating to the Monthly Noteholders’ Statement for the Monthly Period in which the conditions for an ARR Review were satisfied. The Servicer shall provide the Asset Representations Reviewer with notice of a vote in favor of an ARR Review and access to copies of any underlying documents related to performing the ARR Review, as set forth in the Asset Representations Reviewer Agreement. If Noteholders holding more than 50% of the aggregate Adjusted Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of Noteholders casting a vote, cast such vote in favor of an ARR Review, then the Issuer shall include in its Securities Exchange Act Form 10-D filing related to the Monthly Period in which such voting concluded a statement to the effect that a vote was conducted and that as a result of such vote an ARR Review shall be undertaken by the Asset Representations Reviewer relating to the specified Delinquency Trigger Event. If Noteholders holding less than 50% of the aggregate Adjusted Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of the Noteholders casting a vote, cast such vote in favor of an ARR Review, then the Issuer shall include in its Securities Exchange Act Form 10-D filing related to the Monthly Period in which such voting concluded a statement to the effect that a vote was conducted and that as a result of such vote no ARR Review shall be undertaken by the Asset Representations Reviewer relating to the specified Delinquency Trigger Event.

(b)               Upon completion of the ARR Review, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall deliver a report to the Indenture Trustee, with a copy to BBD, setting forth its findings and conclusions. Such report shall not determine whether noncompliance with the ARR Representations and Warranties constitutes a breach of any contractual provision under the Transaction Documents, and the Asset Representations Reviewer will not determine the reason for the delinquency of any Receivable, the creditworthiness of any Obligor, the overall quality of any Receivable or the compliance by the Servicer with its covenants with respect to servicing of the Receivables. The Form 10-D filed with respect to the Monthly Period in which the report is delivered shall include a summary of the findings and conclusions. Not later than sixty days after receipt of the full report from the Asset Representations Reviewer, BBD, in its individual capacity, shall determine whether any instance of noncompliance with the ARR Representations and Warranties constitutes a breach of any contractual provision under the Transaction Documents and whether or not to direct a reassignment of any of the Receivables subject to the ARR Review.

Section 4.18        Governing Law For Hague Securities Convention. Pursuant to Section 8- 110(e)(1) of the relevant UCC for purposes of the relevant UCC and the Hague Securities Convention, the local law of the jurisdiction of the Securities Intermediary is the law of the State of New York.

(a)               if the Quarterly Excess Spread Percentage is less than the Required Excess Spread Percentage; or

(b)               a failure by Transferor under the Transfer Agreement to convey Receivables in Additional Accounts within five Business Days after the day on which it is required to convey such Receivables pursuant to Section 2.11(a) of the Transfer Agreement or, if applicable, Section 2.15(c) of the Transfer Agreement; or

(g)               any representation or warranty made by Transferor in the Transfer Agreement or any information contained in an account schedule required to be delivered by it pursuant to the Transfer Agreement shall prove to have been incorrect in any material respect when made or when delivered, which continues to be incorrect in any material respect for a period of sixty days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Transferor by the Indenture Trustee, or to the Transferor and the Indenture Trustee by any Noteholder of the Series 2023-2 Notes and as a result of which the interests of the Series 2023-2 Noteholders are materially and adversely affected for such period; provided, however, that an Early Amortization Event pursuant to this Section 5.01(g) shall not be deemed to have occurred hereunder if the Transferor has accepted reassignment of the related Receivable, or all of such Receivables, if applicable, during such period in accordance with the provisions of the Transfer Agreement.

In the case of any event described in Sections 5.01(a), (b), (d), or (e), an Early Amortization Event shall occur without any notice or other action on the part of the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders immediately upon the occurrence of such event. In the case of any event described in Sections 5.01(c), (f) or (g), after the applicable grace period, if any, set forth in such subparagraphs, either the Indenture Trustee or the holders of Series 2023-2 Notes evidencing more than 50% of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of Series 2023-2 Notes by notice then

 40 
 

given in writing to the Issuer (and to the Indenture Trustee if given by the Series 2023-2 Noteholders) may declare that an Early Amortization Event has occurred with respect to the Series 2023-2 Notes as of the date of such notice.

Section 5.02        Early Redemption Event. If Principal Receivables having an aggregate principal balance in an amount equal to or greater than 30% of the Pool Balance are designated for reassignment to the Transferor pursuant to Section 2.12(d) of the Transfer Agreement, and the Servicer determines that the Transferor Amount would be less than the Required Transferor Amount after giving effect to such reassignment, and giving effect to any scheduled payments on the Notes and any Account Additions that are scheduled to occur on or prior to the Removal Date, then an “Early Redemption Event” will be deemed to have occurred with respect to the Series 2023-2 Notes on the related Removal Date. If an Early Redemption Event occurs under this Section 5.02, the Issuer will apply all funds received from the Transferor in connection with such reassignment on the first Payment Date following the Monthly Period in which such Early Redemption Event occurred to redeem Series 2023-2 Notes and Notes of each other Series subject to early redemption pursuant to a provision similar to this Section 5.02, on a pro rata basis among each such Series and within each such Series on a pro rata basis between each Class of Notes of such Series, based on the respective Stated Principal Amounts of each such Series and each such Class of Notes subject to early redemption.

ARTICLE VIII

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

Section 8.01        Non-petition Covenant. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Indenture Trustee, by entering into this Indenture Supplement, agrees that it will not at any time, acquiesce, petition or otherwise invoke or cause the Issuer or the Transferor to invoke the process of any Governmental Authority for the purpose of commencing or sustaining a case against the Issuer or the Transferor under any Debtor Relief Law or appointing a receiver, conservator, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other similar official for the Issuer or the Transferor or any substantial part of its property or ordering the winding-up or liquidation of the affairs of the Issuer or the Transferor.

Section 8.02        Actions by the Issuer. Subject to the Servicing Agreement, all action to be taken by the Issuer under this Indenture Supplement shall be taken by the Administrator or the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Issuer and all notices to be given or received by the Issuer under this Indenture Supplement shall be given or received by the Administrator or the Owner Trustee, on behalf of the Issuer.

Section 8.03        Limitations on Liability.

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

(b)               None of the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Servicer, the Administrator, the Beneficiary or any other beneficiary of the Issuer or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, members, incorporators or agents shall have any liability with respect to this Indenture Supplement, and any recourse may be had solely to the Collateral.

 45 
 

(c)               In no event shall the Indenture Trustee have any responsibility to monitor compliance with Regulation RR or any other rules or regulations regarding risk retention. The Indenture Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of such rules, nor shall it be liable to any Series 2023-2 Noteholder or any other party for a violation of such rules and regulations now or hereinafter in effect.

Section 8.04        FATCA Matters. Each Series 2023-2 Noteholder or Note Owner, by the purchase of such Series 2023-2 Note or its acceptance of a beneficial interest therein, acknowledges that interest on the Series 2023-2 Notes will be treated as United States source interest, and, as such, United States withholding tax may apply. Each Series 2023-2 Noteholder or Note Owner further agrees, upon request, to provide any certifications that may be required under applicable law, regulations or procedures to evidence such status and understands that if it ceases to satisfy the foregoing requirements or provide requested documentation, payments to it under the Series 2023-2 Notes may be subject to United States withholding tax (without any corresponding gross- up). Without limiting the foregoing, if a payment made under this Indenture Supplement or the Indenture would be subject to United States federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if the recipient of such payment were to fail to comply with FATCA (including the requirements of Code Sections 1471(b) or 1472(b), as applicable), such recipient shall deliver to the Issuer, with a copy to the Indenture Trustee, at the time or times prescribed by the Code and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee, such documentation prescribed by the Code (including as prescribed by Code Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i)) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee to comply with their respective obligations under FATCA, to determine that such recipient has complied with such recipient’s obligations under FATCA, or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. For these purposes, “FATCA” means (a) Sections 1471 to 1474 of the Code or any associated regulations or other official guidance; (b) any treaty, law, regulation or other official guidance enacted in any other jurisdiction, or relating to an intergovernmental agreement between the U.S. and any other jurisdiction, which (in either case) facilitates the implementation of paragraph (a) above; or (c) any agreement pursuant to the implementation of paragraphs (a) or (b) above with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, the U.S. government or any governmental or taxation authority in any other jurisdiction, and including any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Indenture Supplement.

Section 8.05        [RESERVED].

Section 8.06        Amendments. Except as expressly set forth in Article X of the Indenture and in this Section 8.06, this Indenture Supplement may not be amended, restated, supplemented or modified.

Notwithstanding anything under the Indenture, this Section 8.06 or in any other Transaction Document to the contrary, to the extent permitted by the TIA, this Indenture Supplement may be amended by the Issuer without the consent of the Series 2023-2 Noteholders or any other Person and without satisfying any other amendment provisions of the Indenture or any other Transaction Document solely in connection with any SOFR Adjustment Conforming Changes or, following the determination of a Benchmark Replacement, any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes to be made by the Administrator; provided, that the Issuer has delivered notice of such amendment to the Rating Agencies on or prior to the date such amendment

 46 
 

is executed; provided, further, that any such SOFR Adjustment Conforming Changes or any such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes shall not affect the rights, indemnities or obligations of the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee without the Owner Trustee's or the Indenture Trustee's consent, respectively. For the avoidance of doubt, any SOFR Adjustment Conforming Changes or any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes in any amendment to this Indenture Supplement may be retroactive (including retroactive to the Benchmark Replacement Date) and this Indenture Supplement may be amended more than once in connection with any SOFR Adjustment Conforming Changes or any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes.

Section 8.07        Class B Notes.

(a)               Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture Supplement, no interest in the Class B Notes may be directly or indirectly sold, transferred, assigned, exchanged, participated or otherwise conveyed, pledged, hypothecated or rehypothecated or made the subject of a security interest (each such transaction for purposes of this Section 8.07, a “Transfer”) except to a Person who is a “United States person” for United Stated federal income tax purposes and only upon the prior delivery of an Issuer Tax Opinion to the Indenture Trustee with respect to such Transfer, and any Transfer in violation of these requirements shall be null and void ab initio.

(b)               If not transferred in compliance with the registration provisions of the Securities Act, then no interest in the Class B Notes may be offered, sold or transferred, except (i) pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act (“Rule 144A”) to a person the Noteholder reasonably believes is a “qualified institutional buyer” (a “QIB”) in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A, purchasing for its own account or for the account of a QIB, whom it has informed that such offer, sale or other transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A, or (ii) in an offshore transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 903 or 904 of Regulation S under the Securities Act to a person it reasonably believes is an accredited investor as defined in any of paragraphs (1), (2), (3) and (7) of Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act and any entity in which all of the equity owners come within such paragraphs (an “IAI”) or a QIB, purchasing for its own account or for the account of another IAI or a QIB.

Section 8.08        Appointment of Asset Representations Reviewer. Pursuant to the Asset Representations Reviewer Agreement, BBD, in its individual capacity, has engaged and the Issuer has appointed Clayton Fixed Income Services LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as the Asset Representations Reviewer to perform the obligations of the Asset Representations Reviewer as set forth therein and herein, respectively. The Issuer hereby represents and warrants that the Asset Representations Reviewer (i) is not, and, for so long as the Series 2023-2 Notes are outstanding, will not be, an Affiliate of Barclays Bank Delaware, Barclays Dryrock Funding LLC, U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association or Wilmington Trust, National Association, nor an Affiliate of an Affiliate of Barclays Bank Delaware, Barclays Dryrock Funding LLC, U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association or Wilmington Trust, National Association, and (ii) has not

 47 
 

been hired by Barclays Bank Delaware to perform pre-closing due diligence work relating to the Receivables.

Section 8.09        Dispute Resolution.

(a)               If a Person (including any Holder of a beneficial interest in an Outstanding Note) requests a repurchase (the “Requesting Party”) of any Receivable pursuant to their rights under a Transaction Document due to an alleged breach of a representation and warranty, and the repurchase request has not been fulfilled or otherwise resolved within 180 days of the receipt of such repurchase request by the party obligated for the repurchase (the “Repurchase Party”), then the Requesting Party shall have the right, through the DTC communication procedures or otherwise, to refer the matter, at its discretion, to either mediation or third-party arbitration, and the Repurchase Party hereby agrees to the selected resolution method.

(b)               If the Requesting Party selects mediation as the resolution method, the mediation will be administered by a nationally recognized mediation association mutually agreed upon by the Repurchase Party and the Requesting Party, and the fees and expenses of the mediation will be allocated as mutually agreed upon by the Repurchase Party and the Requesting Party as part of the mediation. If the Requesting Party selects arbitration as the resolution method, the arbitration will be administered by a nationally recognized arbitration association mutually agreed upon by the Repurchase Party and the Requesting Party. In its final determination, the arbitrator will allocate the costs and expenses of the arbitration.

(c)               Any mediation or arbitration will be held in New York, New York, and no Person may bring a putative or certified class action to arbitration. Unless otherwise publicly available, the details and/or existence of any unfulfilled repurchase request, any informal meetings, mediations or arbitration proceedings conducted under this Section 8.09, including all offers, promises, conduct and statements, whether oral or written, made in the course of the parties’ attempt to informally resolve an unfulfilled repurchase request, and any discovery taken in connection with any arbitration, will be confidential, privileged and inadmissible for any purpose, including impeachment, in any mediation, arbitration or litigation, or other proceeding (including any proceeding under this Section 8.09). Such information will be kept strictly confidential and will not be disclosed or discussed with any third party (excluding a party’s attorneys, experts, accountants and other agents and representatives, as reasonably required in connection with any resolution procedure under this Section 8.09), except as otherwise publicly available as required by law, regulatory requirement or court order. If any party to a resolution procedure receives a subpoena or other request for information from a third party (other than a governmental regulatory body) for such confidential information, the recipient will promptly notify the other party to the resolution procedure and will provide the other party with the opportunity to object to the production of its confidential information.

(d)               A Requesting Party may not initiate a mediation or arbitration as described above with respect to a Receivable that is, or has been, the subject of an ongoing or previous mediation or arbitration (whether by that Requesting Party or another Requesting Party) but will have the right to join an existing mediation or arbitration with respect to that receivable if the mediation or arbitration has not yet concluded.

 48 
 

(e)               For the avoidance of doubt, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no Series 2023-2 Noteholder will have any right to cause the Indenture Trustee to be a Requesting Party under this Section 8.09, unless such Series 2023-2 Noteholder has offered to the Indenture Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request.

Section 8.10        Investor Communication. Following receipt of a written request during any Monthly Period from a Series 2023-2 Noteholder seeking to communicate with other Noteholders regarding exercising their contractual rights under the terms of the Transaction Documents, the Issuer shall include or shall cause the Transferor to include, in its Securities Exchange Act Form 10-D filing related to the Monthly Period in which such written request was received: (i) the name of the Series 2023-2 Noteholder delivering such request, (ii) the date the request was received, (iii) a statement to the effect that the Issuer has in fact received such request from a Series 2023-2 Noteholder and that such Series 2023-2 Noteholder is interested in communicating with other Noteholders with regard to the possible exercise of rights under the Transaction Documents, and (iv) a description of the method that other Noteholders may use to contact the requesting Series 2023-2 Noteholder. Prior, however, to including the items set forth in clauses (i)-(iv) above in a Securities Exchange Act Form 10-D filing, the Issuer shall have the right to request from the Series 2023-2 Noteholder delivering the written request verification that such Series 2023-2 Noteholder is in fact a Holder of a beneficial interest in a Series 2023-2 Note. Such verification may be in the form of (x) a written certification from such Series 2023-2 Noteholder that it is a Holder of beneficial interest in a Series 2023-2 Note, and (y) one other form of documentation such as a trade confirmation, an account statement, a letter from the broker or dealer, or other similar document. The Transferor will be responsible for any expenses in connection with the filing of its Securities and Exchange Act Form 10-D.

Section 8.11        Tax Retained Notes.

(a)               Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture Supplement, no interest in any Tax Retained Notes may be directly or indirectly sold, transferred, assigned, exchanged, participated or otherwise conveyed, pledged, hypothecated or rehypothecated or made the subject of a security interest (each such transaction for purposes of this Section 8.11, a “Transfer”) unless prior to and in connection with such Transfer either (i) an Issuer Tax Opinion is delivered to the Indenture Trustee with respect to such Transfer (excluding any Tax Retained Notes from such Issuer Tax Opinion to the extent they are otherwise included in the definition of Issuer Tax Opinion in the Indenture) or (ii) an Opinion of Counsel is delivered to the Indenture Trustee to the effect that such Notes will be debt for United States federal income tax purposes.

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

 49 
 

or (iii) the Tax Retained Notes and such other Notes from the same Class can be tracked in a manner that will allow each holder of any such Note to identify the information described in United States Treasury Regulation section 1.1275-3(b)(1)(i) with respect to each such Note.

(c)               Any Transfer in violation of these requirements shall be null and void ab initio.

Section 8.12        Credit Risk Retention.

(a)               The Transferor shall maintain, as of each Transferor Amount Measurement Date, a seller’s interest in the Issuer (in the form of the Transferor Interest) calculated in accordance with Regulation RR that will equal not less than five percent of the aggregate unpaid principal balance of all Series of Notes, other than any Notes that are and, at all times, will be held by BBD or one or more wholly-owned affiliates of BBD. The Transferor may not sell or otherwise transfer any interest or assets that it is required to hold pursuant to Regulation RR unless such sale or transfer is to a wholly-owned affiliate of BBD. For purposes of this section, a wholly-owned affiliate of BBD will include any person, other than the Issuer, that directly or indirectly, wholly controls (i.e., owns 100% of the equity in such person), is wholly controlled by, or is wholly under common control with, BBD.

(b)               BBD covenants and agrees, with reference to the EU Securitization Regulation and the UK Securitization Regulation, in each case as in effect and applicable on the Closing Date, that it will: (i) as “originator” for the purposes of the EU Securitization Regulation and the UK Securitization Regulation, retain, on an ongoing basis for as long as any Series 2023-2 Notes remain outstanding, a material net economic interest which is not less than 5% of the nominal value of the securitized exposures, in the form of an originator’s interest as provided in option (b) of Article 6(3) of each of the EU Securitization Regulation and the UK Securitization Regulation, by holding all of the membership interests in the Transferor, which in turn will retain on an ongoing basis for as long as any Series 2023-2 Notes remain outstanding all or part of the Transferor Interest (the “Retained Interest”); (ii) not change the retention option or method of calculating the Retained Interest, except in accordance with the EU Securitization Rules and the UK Securitization Rules; and (iii) not (and will not permit any of its affiliates to) subject the Retained Interest to any credit risk mitigation or any other hedge, or sell, transfer or otherwise surrender all or part of the rights, benefits or obligations arising from the Retained Interest, except in accordance with the EU Securitization Rules and the UK Securitization Rules.

(c)               Each of the parties hereto agrees and, as evidenced by its acceptance of any benefits hereunder, each Series 2023-2 Noteholder agrees, in no event shall the Indenture Trustee have any responsibility to monitor compliance with, calculate, provide or otherwise make available information or documents required by Regulation RR, the EU Securitization Rules, the UK Securitization Rules or any other rules regarding risk retention. The Indenture Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of such rules, nor shall it be liable to any Series 2023-2 Noteholder or any other party for a violation of such rules or regulations now or hereinafter in effect.

ARTICLE IX

INSOLVENCY PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO BBD

Section 9.01        Actions Upon Repudiation.

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

(b)               Upon receipt of the notice specified in Section 9.01(a), the Indenture Trustee shall determine the date (the “Applicable Distribution Date”) for making a distribution to the Series 2023-2 Noteholders of such damages, which date shall be the earlier of (i) the next Payment Date on which such damages could be distributed and (ii) the earliest practicable date by which the Indenture Trustee could declare a special distribution date, in each case subject to all applicable provisions of the Indenture, applicable law and the procedures of any applicable clearing agency. The Indenture Trustee is authorized and instructed to retain possession and control of the Accumulation Reserve Account and the Collection Account and all amounts on deposit therein.

(c)               When the Applicable Distribution Date is determined, the Servicer, shall promptly compute the amount of interest to be paid on each Class of Notes on the Applicable Distribution Date, which interest (unless such Applicable Distribution Date is a Payment Date) shall be the amount accruing up to the Applicable Distribution Date and which shall be computed by pro rating the amount that would otherwise be payable on the next succeeding Payment Date on the basis of (i) the number of days elapsed from such preceding Payment Date divided by (ii) thirty (30). The Servicer shall notify the Indenture Trustee of the applicable amounts of principal and interest to be paid on each Class of Notes not later than the Business Day following the day on which the Applicable Distribution Date is determined.

(d)               If the Applicable Distribution Date is a special distribution date, the Indenture Trustee shall (i) declare such special distribution date (the record date for which shall be the close of business on the day immediately preceding such special distribution date), (ii) declare a special distribution to the Series 2023-2 Noteholders consisting of unpaid interest on each Series 2023-2 Note and the outstanding principal balance of each Series 2023-2 Note and (iii) deliver notice to the Series 2023-2 Noteholders of such special distribution date and special distribution.

(e)               Following payment by the FDIC of such damages:

(i)                 Such damages shall be deposited into the Principal Funding Account;

(ii)              The Servicer shall promptly, and no later than one Business Day after such damages have been paid by the FDIC, (A) compute the amount, if any, required to be

 51 
 

withdrawn from available funds in the Accumulation Reserve Account (and, if necessary, the Collection Account) and transferred to the Principal Funding Account so that the amount on deposit in the Principal Funding Account shall equal the aggregate amount to be distributed as specified in Section 9.01(c), and (B) promptly inform the Indenture Trustee of such computation; and

(iii)            On the Applicable Distribution Date, the Indenture Trustee shall, based on the computations in Section 9.01(c), first, withdraw from monies on deposit in the Accumulation Reserve Account and, if necessary, the Collection Account the amount so computed and cause such amount to be deposited into the Principal Funding Account and, second, cause all amounts deposited into the Principal Funding Account pursuant to this Section 9.01 to be applied in accordance with Section 7.06 of the Indenture and amounts available for application pursuant to clause (b) of Section 7.06 of the Indenture shall be allocated and paid as provided in Section 4.14(e).

(f)                Any funds remaining in the Collection Account and the Accumulation Reserve Account shall be distributed on the following Payment Date (or on such Applicable Distribution Date, if it is not a Payment Date), such distributions to be made in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Transaction Documents, with the Servicer to adjust the amounts of such distributions in its records to take into account the amounts distributed on the Applicable Distribution Date.

Section 9.02        Notice.

(a)               In the event that BBD becomes the subject of an insolvency proceeding and the FDIC as receiver or conservator provides a written notice of repudiation as contemplated by paragraph (d)(4)(ii) of the FDIC Rule, the party receiving such notice shall promptly deliver such notice to each of the Servicer, the Transferor, the Trust and the Indenture Trustee.

(b)               If the FDIC (i) is appointed as a conservator or receiver of BBD and (ii) is in monetary default hereunder or under the other Transaction Documents, the Indenture Trustee shall, at the direction of the Majority Holders of all Outstanding Notes, the Servicer or a Series 2023-2 Noteholder, be entitled to deliver written notice to the FDIC requesting the exercise of contractual rights hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents.

Section 9.03        Reservation of Rights. Neither the inclusion of this Article IX in this Indenture Supplement nor the compliance by any Person with, or the acknowledgement by any Person of, this Article’s provisions constitutes an agreement or acknowledgment by any Person that, in the case of an insolvency proceeding with respect to BBD, a receiver or conservator will have any rights with respect to the Trust Assets.

CLASS A SERIES 2023-2 FLOATING RATE ASSET BACKED NOTE

[Reverse of Class A Note]

This Class A Note is one of a duly authorized issue of the Notes of the Issuer, designated as its Barclays Dryrock Issuance Trust, Series 2023-2 (the “Series 2023-2 Notes”), issued under an Amended and Restated Indenture, dated as of December 17, 2013, as amended by the first amendment thereto, dated as of July 6, 2015 and as further amended by the omnibus amendment, dated as of September 21, 2018 (the “Indenture”), between the Issuer and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as indenture trustee (the “Indenture Trustee,” which term includes any successor Indenture Trustee under the Indenture), as supplemented by the Series 2023-2 Indenture Supplement, dated as of November 20, 2023 (the “Indenture Supplement”), and representing the right to receive certain payments from the Issuer. The term “Indenture,” unless the context otherwise requires, refers to the Indenture as supplemented by the Indenture Supplement. The Notes are subject to all of the terms of the Indenture. All terms used in this Note that are defined in the Indenture, as supplemented or amended, shall have the meanings assigned to them in or pursuant to the Indenture, as so supplemented or amended. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the Indenture and this Note, the Indenture shall control.

The Series 2023-2 Notes also include the Class B Notes issued under the Indenture simultaneously with the Class A Notes.

The Noteholder, by its acceptance of this Note, agrees that it will look solely to the property of the Trust allocated to the payment of this Note in accordance with the Indenture for payment hereunder and that the Indenture Trustee is not liable to the Noteholders for any amount payable under this Note or the Indenture or, except as expressly provided in the Indenture, subject to any liability under the Indenture.

This Note does not purport to summarize the Indenture and reference is made to the Indenture for the interests, rights and limitations of rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced thereby, and the rights, duties and immunities of the Indenture Trustee.

The Expected Final Payment Date is the October 2025 Payment Date, but principal with respect to the Class A Notes may be paid earlier or later under certain circumstances described in the Indenture. If for one or more months during the Controlled Accumulation Period there are not sufficient funds to deposit the Controlled Deposit Amount into the Principal Funding Account, then to the extent that excess funds are not available on subsequent Payment Dates with respect to the Controlled Accumulation Period to make up for such shortfalls, the final payment of principal of the Notes will occur later than the Expected Final Payment Date. Payments of principal of the Notes shall be payable in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, the Transferor may, from time to time, direct the Owner Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, to issue one or more new Series of notes or additional notes of any Series.

 A-1-6 
 

On each Payment Date, the Paying Agent shall distribute to each Class A Noteholder of record on the related Record Date (except for the final distribution in respect of this Class A Note) such Class A Noteholder’s pro rata share of the amounts maintained by the Paying Agent that are allocated and available on such Payment Date to pay interest and principal on the Class A Notes pursuant to the Indenture Supplement. Except as provided in the Indenture with respect to a final distribution, distributions to Series 2023-2 Noteholders shall be made (i) by check mailed to each Series 2023-2 Noteholder (at such Noteholder’s address as it appears in the Note Register), except that with respect to any Series 2023-2 Notes registered in the name of the nominee of a clearing agency, such distribution shall be made in immediately available funds and with respect to the Class B Notes if the Noteholder has provided written wire transfer instructions to the Indenture Trustee as provided in the Indenture, then such distribution shall be made in immediately available funds and (ii) without presentation or surrender of any Series 2023-2 Note or the making of any notation thereon. Final payment of this Class A Note will be made only upon presentation and surrender of this Class A Note at the office or agency specified in the notice of final distribution delivered by the Indenture Trustee to the Series 2023-2 Noteholders in accordance with the Indenture.

On any day occurring on or after the date on which the Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of the Series 2023-2 Notes is reduced to less than 10% of its highest Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount at any time, the Trust shall have the right, but not the obligation to, redeem the Series 2023-2 Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the Outstanding Dollar Principal Amount of the Series 2023-2 Notes, plus accrued, unpaid and additional interest or principal accreted and unpaid on such Notes to but excluding the date of redemption; provided, however, that in no event shall an optional redemption occur if 25% or more of the Initial Dollar Principal Amount of the Series 2023-2 Notes is still outstanding.

This Class A Note does not represent an obligation of, or an interest in, the Transferor, Barclays Bank Delaware, or any Affiliate of any of them and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency or instrumentality.

Each Noteholder, by accepting a Note, hereby covenants and agrees that it will not at any time institute against the Issuer or the Transferor, or join in instituting against the Issuer or the Transferor, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, or other proceedings under any United States federal or state bankruptcy or similar law.

Except as otherwise provided in the Indenture Supplement, the Class A Notes are issuable only in minimum denominations of $100,000 and $1,000 increments in excess thereof. The transfer of this Class A Note shall be registered in the Note Register upon surrender of this Class A Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Issuer in a Place of Payment, accompanied by a written instrument of transfer, in a form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Note Registrar, duly executed by the Class A Noteholder or such Class A Noteholder’s attorney, and duly authorized in writing with such signature guaranteed, and thereupon one or more new Class A Notes in any authorized denominations of like aggregate Stated Principal Amount, Expected Final Payment Date and Legal Maturity Date and of like terms will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

 A-1-7 
 

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Class A Notes are exchangeable for new Class A Notes in any authorized denominations and of like aggregate Stated Principal Amount, Expected Final Payment Date and Legal Maturity Date and of like terms upon surrender of such Notes to be exchanged at the office or agency of the Issuer in a Place of Payment. No service charge may be imposed for any such exchange but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith.

The Issuer, the Transferor, the Indenture Trustee and any agent of the Issuer, the Transferor or the Indenture Trustee shall treat the person in whose name this Class A Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Issuer, the Transferor, the Indenture Trustee nor any agent of the Issuer, the Transferor or the Indenture Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

THIS CLASS A NOTE SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, INCLUDING SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATION LAW, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS, AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.
