W I T N E S S E T H :
WHEREAS, EFCAR is the sole owner of the equity interests in each of the Trusts, and Exeter Finance is the sole owner of the limited liability company interests in EFCAR;
WHEREAS, EFCAR, the Trusts, Exeter Holding Trust 2022-1, Exeter Holding Trust 2022-2, Exeter Holding Trust 2022-3, Exeter Holding Trust 2022-4, Wilmington Trust Company, as owner trustee, and Citibank, as indenture trustee, have entered into omnibus amendments to the Amended and Restated Trust Agreements of the Trusts and the related Indentures in order to provide for the ability of any certificateholder of a Trust to make capital contributions to such Trust, from time to time and in the sole discretion of such certificateholder; and
WHEREAS, Exeter Finance desires to make one or more capital contributions to EFCAR, and EFCAR desires to make one or more capital contributions to one or more of the Trusts, in each case in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements hereinafter contained, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is acknowledged, each of the parties to this Agreement, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:
SECTION 1.1  Capital Contributions.
(a)            Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Exeter Finance may (but shall have no obligation to), with respect to one or both of the monthly dates on which each Trust will make distributions of funds in February and March 2023 (each such distribution date, a “Contribution Date” and, collectively, the “Contribution Dates”), make capital contributions to EFCAR consisting of an assignment of Exeter Finance’s right to receive a specified amount of the percentage-based monthly servicing fee (the “Base Servicing Fee”) payable to Exeter Finance, in its capacity as servicer of the receivables beneficially owned by one or more of the Trusts, in an aggregate amount (for both Contribution Dates and for all Trusts) not to exceed $15,000,000.  In exchange for an increase in the value of Exeter Finance’s equity interest in EFCAR, Exeter Finance hereby assigns to EFCAR its right, on the applicable Contribution Date, to receive the amount, if any, of the Base Servicing Fee for each Trust that would otherwise be payable to Exeter Finance but which is identified in the monthly servicer report(s) delivered by Exeter Finance to the related indenture trustee as being netted against the amount of the Base Servicing Fee that would otherwise be payable to Exeter Finance on such Contribution Date.  Capitalized terms used herein and not


otherwise defined shall have the meaning set forth in the related Indenture or Sale and Servicing Agreement to which the Trust is a party.
(b)            Simultaneously with the making of a capital contribution by Exeter Finance to EFCAR pursuant to Section 1.1(a), EFCAR shall make a capital contribution of the rights to payment assigned by Exeter Finance under Section 1.1(a) to one or more of the Trusts (as identified by Exeter Finance in the monthly servicer report(s) described in Section 1.1(a)) by assigning to each such Trust the right of Exeter Finance, in its capacity as servicer of the receivables beneficially owned by such Trust, to receive the specified amount of the Base Servicing Fee that was assigned by Exeter Finance to EFCAR with respect to such Contribution Date pursuant to Section 1.1(a).  In exchange for an increase in the value of EFCAR’s equity interest in each applicable Trust, EFCAR hereby assigns to each such Trust the rights to payment relating to such Trust, if any, assigned to EFCAR by Exeter Finance pursuant to Section 1.1(a).
(c)            For administrative convenience, the amount of any Base Servicing Fee contributed on a Contribution Date by Exeter Finance to EFCAR pursuant to Section 1.1(a), and by EFCAR to the applicable Trusts pursuant to Section 1.1(b), shall be netted against the corresponding Base Servicing Fee that, prior to the assignment, would have been payable to Exeter Finance, in its capacity as servicer of the receivables beneficially owned by each applicable Trust, on the Contribution Date.  Exeter Finance shall provide notice, to the related indenture trustee, of the amount of the capital contribution to be made by EFCAR to a Trust pursuant to Section 1.1(b) in the Servicer’s Certificate delivered by Exeter Finance to the related indenture trustee for such Contribution Date, and each such capital contribution shall be deemed to have been made as the result of the distribution of funds by or on behalf of the related Trust on such Contribution Date in accordance with the terms of the applicable distribution instructions contained in the related Servicer’s Certificate delivered by Exeter Finance to the related indenture trustee for such Contribution Date.  Such Servicer’s Certificate shall continue to identify the total Base Servicing Fee, without regard to a capital contribution, for the related Collection Period.  Nothing in this Agreement shall affect the Backup Servicer’s obligations, including reporting, under the related Sale and Servicing Agreement.
(d)            The execution and delivery of this Agreement shall constitute an acknowledgment by the parties hereto that they each intend that the assignments and transfers herein contemplated constitute a sale and assignment outright, and not for security, of each capital contribution made pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, conveying good title thereto free and clear of any liens. For the avoidance of doubt, the Base Servicing Fee may not be assigned following a Servicer Termination Event or if Exeter Finance is no longer acting as Servicer, including during the transition period after Exeter Finance receives notice of the termination of its rights and obligations as Servicer under the related Sale and Servicing Agreement, prior to the Successor Servicer being appointed.
SECTION 1.2  Representations and Warranties.  Each of Exeter Finance and EFCAR makes the following representations and warranties as of the date hereof and as of each Contribution Date on which a capital contribution is made. Such representations are made as of the execution and delivery of this Agreement, but shall survive the pledge of such capital contributions by the related Trust to the related indenture trustee under the related indenture.
