SECTION 2.11. Federal Income Tax Treatment of the Trust.

(a) For so long as the Securitization Trust has a single owner for federal income tax purposes, pursuant to Treasury Regulations promulgated under Section 7701 of the Code, it will be disregarded as an entity distinct from the Trust Certificateholder for federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, for federal income tax purposes, the Trust Certificateholder will be treated as (i) owning all assets owned by the Securitization Trust and (ii) having incurred all liabilities incurred by the Securitization Trust, and all transactions between the Securitization Trust and the Trust Certificateholder will be disregarded. The parties agree that, unless otherwise required by appropriate tax authorities, the Securitization Trust will file or cause to be filed annual or other necessary returns, reports and other forms consistent with the

characterization of the Securitization Trust as provided in the preceding sentence for such tax purposes.

(b) Neither the Owner Trustee nor the Trust Certificateholder will, nor will the Trust Certificateholder direct the Owner Trustee to, make an election on IRS Form 8832 or otherwise to classify the Securitization Trust as an association taxable as a corporation for federal, state or any other applicable tax purpose.

(c) In the event that the Securitization Trust has two or more owners for federal income tax purposes, pursuant to Treasury Regulations promulgated under Section 7701 of the Code, it will be treated as a partnership, with the assets of the partnership being the 2021-1 Exchange Note and other assets held by the Securitization Trust, the partners of the partnership being the Trust Certificateholders and the Loan being debt of the partnership, solely for income and franchise tax purposes. At any such time that the Securitization Trust has two or more equity owners, this Agreement will be amended, in accordance with Section 11.1 herein, and appropriate provisions will be added so as to provide for treatment of the Trust as a partnership.

(d) In the event that the Securitization Trust is classified as a partnership for federal income tax purposes (i) the Depositor (or if the Depositor is no longer a Trust Certificateholder, the Majority Certificateholder) is hereby designated as the “partnership representative” under Section 6223(a) of the Code and (ii) the partnership representative will or will cause the Securitization Trust, to the extent eligible, to make the election under Section 6221(b) of the Code with respect to determinations of adjustments at the partnership level and take any other action (such as disclosures and notifications) necessary or appropriate to effectuate such election. If the election described in the preceding sentence is not available, to the extent applicable, the partnership representative will or will cause the Securitization Trust to make the election under Section 6226(a) of the Code with respect to the alternative to payment of imputed underpayment by a partnership and take any other action such as filings, disclosures and notifications necessary or appropriate to effectuate such election. The partnership representative is authorized, in its sole discretion, to make any available election with respect to the BBA Partnership Audit Rules and take any action it deems necessary or appropriate to comply with the requirements of the Code and to conduct the Securitization Trust’s affairs with respect to the BBA Partnership Audit Rules. Each Trust Certificateholder and, if different, each beneficial owner of a Trust Certificate, shall promptly provide the partnership representative any requested information, documentation or material to enable the partnership representative to make any of the elections described in this clause (d) and otherwise comply with the BBA Partnership Audit Rules. The provisions of this Section 2.11(d) shall survive any termination of this Agreement. In addition, should the Securitization Trust be classified as a partnership, the partnership representative, may, in its sole discretion, cause the Securitization Trust to make an election under Section 754 of the Code.

Upon issuance, execution and delivery pursuant to the terms hereof, the Trust Certificates shall be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement. Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association is hereby appointed as the initial Authenticating Agent.

SECTION 3.4. Registration of Transfer and Exchange.

(a) The Certificate Registrar shall cause to be kept a register (the “Certificate Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Certificate Registrar shall provide for the registration of Trust Certificates and, if and to the extent transfers and exchanges are permitted pursuant to Section 3.4(b), the registration of transfers of Trust Certificates. No transfer of a Trust Certificate shall be recognized except upon registration of such transfer. Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association is hereby appointed as the initial

“Certificate Registrar”. Upon any resignation of the Certificate Registrar, the Depositor shall promptly appoint a successor.

(b) The Trust Certificates have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act and will not be listed on any exchange. No transfer of a Trust Certificate shall be made unless such transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws or is exempt from the registration requirements under the Securities Act and such state securities laws. In the event that a transfer is to be made in reliance upon an exemption from the Securities Act and state securities laws, in order to assure compliance with the Securities Act and such laws, the Trust Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer and such Trust Certificateholder’s prospective transferee shall each certify to the Owner Trustee in writing the facts surrounding the transfer in substantially the forms set forth in Exhibit C (the “Transferor Certificate”) and either Exhibit D (the “Investment Letter”) or Exhibit E (the “Rule 144A Letter”). Except in the case of a transfer as to which the proposed transferee has provided a Rule 144A Letter, there shall also be delivered to the Owner Trustee an Opinion of Counsel that such transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption from the Securities Act, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Securitization Trust or the Owner Trustee. The Depositor shall provide to any Trust Certificateholder and any prospective transferee designated by any such Trust Certificateholder, information regarding the Trust Certificates and the 2021-1 Exchange Note and such other information as shall be necessary to satisfy the condition to eligibility set forth in Rule 144A(d)(4) for transfer of any such Trust Certificate without registration thereof under the Securities Act pursuant to the registration exemption provided by Rule 144A. Each Trust Certificateholder desiring to effect such a transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Securitization Trust, the Owner Trustee, the Trust Company and the Depositor against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with federal and state securities laws. Each Trust Certificate to contain a legend in the form set forth on the form of Trust Certificate attached hereto as Exhibit A.

(c) Upon surrender for registration of transfer or exchange of any Trust Certificate at the office of the Certificate Registrar and upon compliance with the provisions of this Agreement relating to such transfer or exchange, provided that the requirements of Section 8-401(a) of the UCC are met, the Owner Trustee upon written direction of the Depositor shall execute on behalf of the Securitization Trust and shall, or shall cause the Authenticating Agent to, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Trust Certificates of a like aggregate Percentage Interest that the Trust Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to receive and dated the date of such authentication of the Trust Certificates, as the case may be; provided that prior to such execution, authentication and delivery, the Owner Trustee and the Depositor shall have received an Issuer Tax Opinion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no sale or transfer of a Trust Certificate shall be permitted (including, without limitation, by pledge or hypothecation), and no such sale or transfer shall be registered by the Certificate Registrar to be effective hereunder, if the sale or transfer thereof increases the number of Trust Certificateholders and Titling Trust Certificateholders to more than ninety-five (95). For purposes of determining the total number of Trust Certificateholders, a beneficial owner of an interest in a partnership, grantor trust or S corporation for federal income tax purposes (each, a “Flow-Through Entity”) that owns, directly or through other Flow-Through Entities, a Trust Certificate, is treated as a holder of a Trust Certificate if (i) substantially all of the value of the

beneficial owner’s interest (directly or indirectly) in the Flow-Through Entity is attributed to the Flow-Through Entity’s interest in the Trust Certificate or (ii) a principal purpose of the use of the Flow-Through Entity to hold the Trust Certificate is to satisfy the 95 holder limitation set out above. If using a Flow-Through Entity to acquire a Trust Certificate, the Trust Certificateholder shall be deemed to have represented that it is not using the Flow-Through Entity in order to avoid the 95 holder limitation set out above. In addition, no sale or transfer of a Trust Certificate shall be registered by the Certificate Registrar or made effective hereunder unless, as evidenced by a written representation and covenant by the transferee in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar (upon which representation and covenant the Certificate Registrar may conclusively rely without independent investigation), no member of the transferee’s expanded group as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.385-1(c)(4) (including through a controlled partnership as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.385-1(c)(1)) is or will become the beneficial owner of a Note. If a Trust Certificateholder or a member of its expanded group becomes the beneficial owner of a Note, the Depositor is authorized at its discretion to compel such Certificateholder to sell its Trust Certificate to a Person whose ownership complies with this paragraph so long as such sale does not otherwise cause a material adverse effect on the Securitization Trust. At the option of a Trust Certificateholder, Trust Certificates may be exchanged for other Trust Certificates of like tenor and aggregate Percentage Interest upon surrender of the Trust Certificates to be exchanged at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 3.8.

The Certificate Registrar shall require that every Trust Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be beneficially owned by a United States person within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code and shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer and accompanied by IRS Form W-9, and such other form or documentation as may be reasonably required by the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar in order to comply with Applicable Money Laundering Law, in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar or the Owner Trustee, as applicable, duly executed by the Trust Certificateholder or such Person’s attorney duly authorized in writing. No such transfer will be effective unless the Owner Trustee has received the transfer documentation required hereunder.

No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Trust Certificates, but the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Trust Certificates.

No Certificate may be held or beneficially owned by any Person that is not a United States person as defined under Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code. By accepting and holding its beneficial ownership interest in its Certificate, the Holder thereof shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that it is a United States person as defined under Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code.

The Certificate Registrar shall cancel and retain or destroy, in accordance with the Certificate Registrar’s retention policy then in effect, all Trust Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and shall upon written request certify to the Depositor as to such retention or destruction.

(d) The provisions of this Section generally are intended, among other things, to prevent the Securitization Trust from being characterized as a “publicly traded partnership” within the meaning of Section 7704 of the Code, in reliance on Treasury Regulations Section 1.7704-1(e) and (h), and the Depositor shall take such intent into account in determining whether or not to consent to any proposed transfer of any Trust Certificate.

(e) The Trust Certificates may not be acquired or held by or for the account of (i) an “employee benefit plan” (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) that is subject to the fiduciary responsibility provisions of Title I of ERISA, (ii) a “plan” (as defined in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code) that is subject to Section 4975 of the Code, (iii) an entity whose underlying assets are deemed to include assets of an employee benefit plan or a plan described in (i) or (ii) above by reason of such employee benefit plan’s or a plan’s investment in the entity (each, a “Benefit Plan Investor”), or (iv) an employee benefit plan, a plan or other similar arrangement that is not a Benefit Plan Investor but is subject to federal, state, local, non-U.S. or other laws or regulations that are substantially similar to Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (each of (i)-(iv), a “Benefit Plan Entity”). Each Trust Certificateholder shall be deemed to represent and warrant that it is not a Benefit Plan Entity.

The preceding provisions of this Section notwithstanding, the Owner Trustee shall not make and the Certificate Registrar shall not register any transfer or exchange of Trust Certificates for a period of fifteen (15) days preceding the due date for any payment with respect to the Trust Certificates. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, neither the Certificate Registrar nor the Owner Trustee shall be responsible for ascertaining whether any transfer complies with the registration provisions or exemptions from the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, applicable state securities law, ERISA, the Investment Company Act, other applicable law, or the provisions of this Agreement. Except that, if an Investment Letter or Rule 144A Letter is required by this Section 3.4 and provided to the Owner Trustee, the Owner Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same solely to determine whether it conforms substantially on its face to the applicable form attached hereto.

SECTION 3.5. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Trust Certificates.

(a) If (i) any mutilated Trust Certificate shall be surrendered to the Certificate Registrar, or if the Certificate Registrar shall receive evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Trust Certificate, and (ii) there shall be delivered to the Certificate Registrar, the Owner Trustee and the Trust Company such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, then in the absence of notice that such Trust Certificate has been acquired by a Protected Purchaser, upon the written direction of the Depositor, the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Securitization Trust shall execute and the Owner Trustee or the Authenticating Agent, shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Trust Certificate, a new Trust Certificate of like tenor and Percentage Interest. If, after the delivery of such replacement Trust Certificate or payment of a destroyed, lost or stolen Trust Certificate, a Protected Purchaser of the original Trust Certificate in lieu of which such replacement Trust Certificate was issued presents for payment such original Trust Certificate, the Securitization Trust and the Owner Trustee shall be entitled to recover such replacement Trust Certificate (or such payment) from the Person to whom such replacement Trust Certificate was delivered or any Person taking such replacement

Trust Certificate from such Person to whom such replacement Trust Certificate was delivered or any assignee of such Person, except a Protected Purchaser, and shall be entitled to recover upon the security or indemnity provided therefor to the extent of any loss, damage, cost or expense incurred by the Securitization Trust or the Owner Trustee in connection therewith. Any duplicate Trust Certificate issued pursuant to this Section shall constitute conclusive evidence of ownership in the Securitization Trust, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Trust Certificate shall be found at any time.

(b) In connection with the issuance of any new Trust Certificate under this Section, the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith.

(c) Every replacement Trust Certificate issued pursuant to this Section in replacement of any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Trust Certificate shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Securitization Trust, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Trust Certificate shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Agreement equally and proportionately with any and all other Trust Certificates issued hereunder.

(d) The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Trust Certificates.

SECTION 3.6. Persons Deemed Trust Certificateholders. Prior to due presentation of a Trust Certificate for registration of transfer, the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar or any Paying Agent will treat the Person in whose name any Trust Certificate is registered in the Certificate Register as the owner of such Trust Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to Section 5.1 and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar or any Paying Agent shall be bound by any notice to the contrary.

SECTION 3.7. Access to List of Trust Certificateholders’ Names and Addresses. The Certificate Registrar shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Owner Trustee, the Servicer and the Depositor, within fifteen (15) days after receipt by the Certificate Registrar of a written request therefor from the Owner Trustee, the Servicer or the Depositor, a list, in such form as the Owner Trustee, the Servicer or the Depositor may reasonably require, of the names, addresses, and Percentage Interests of the Trust Certificateholders as of the most recent Record Date, and the Owner Trustee, the Depositor and the Servicer may rely and shall be fully protected in relying thereon.

If a Trust Certificateholder applies in writing to the Certificate Registrar, and such application states that the applicant desires to communicate with other Trust Certificateholders with respect to their rights under this Agreement or under the Trust Certificates, then the Certificate Registrar shall, within five (5) Business Days after the receipt of such application, afford such applicant access during normal business hours to the current list of Trust Certificateholders. Each Trust Certificateholder, by receiving and holding a Trust Certificate, shall be deemed to have agreed not to hold any of the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar or the

Owner Trustee accountable by reason of the disclosure of its name and address, regardless of the source from which such information was derived.

SECTION 3.8. Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Certificate Registrar shall maintain an office or offices or agency or agencies where Trust Certificates may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Certificate Registrar in respect of the Trust Certificates and the Program Documents may be served. The Certificate Registrar designates its offices at Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association, 000 Xxxxx 0xx Xxxxxx, XXX X0000-000, Xxxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx 00000, Attention: Corporate Trust Administration for such purposes. The Certificate Registrar shall give prompt written notice to the Depositor and to the Trust Certificateholders of any change in the location of the Certificate Register or any such office or agency.

SECTION 3.9. Appointment of Paying Agent. The Paying Agent shall make distributions to Trust Certificateholders pursuant to Section 5.1 and shall report the amounts of such distributions to the Depositor. The Depositor may revoke such power and remove the Paying Agent if the Depositor determines in its sole discretion that the Paying Agent shall have failed to perform its obligations under this Agreement in any material respect or that it is in the interest of the Trust Certificateholders to do so. The Paying Agent initially shall be the Indenture Trustee, and any co-paying agent chosen by the Indenture Trustee and acceptable to the Depositor. The Depositor shall cause such successor Paying Agent or any additional Paying Agent appointed by the Depositor to execute and deliver to the Depositor an instrument in which such successor Paying Agent or additional Paying Agent shall agree with the Owner Trustee that, as Paying Agent, such successor Paying Agent or additional Paying Agent will hold all sums, if any, held by it for payment to the Trust Certificateholders in trust for the benefit of the Trust Certificateholders entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Trust Certificateholders. Upon removal of a Paying Agent such Paying Agent shall return all funds in its possession to the successor Paying Agent. The provisions of Sections 7.1, 7.3, 7.4 and 8.1 shall apply to the Owner Trustee also in its role as Paying Agent, if and for so long as the Owner Trustee shall act as Paying Agent, if and, to the extent applicable, to any other paying agent appointed hereunder. Any reference in this Agreement to the Paying Agent shall include any co-paying agent unless the context requires otherwise.

SECTION 3.10. Definitive Trust Certificates. The Trust Certificates, upon original issuance, will be issued in definitive, fully registered form.

SECTION 3.11. Trust Certificates held by Depositor or its Affiliates. Unless otherwise specified in this Agreement or other Program Documents, any Trust Certificates owned by the Depositor, the Servicer (so long as GM Financial or an Affiliate thereof is the Servicer) or any of their respective Affiliates shall be entitled to the benefits under this Agreement equally and proportionately to the benefits afforded other owners of the Trust Certificates, except that such Trust Certificates shall be deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of determining whether the requisite percentage of Securityholders have given any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or other action under the Program Documents (other than the commencement by the Securitization Trust of a voluntary proceeding in bankruptcy).

SECTION 3.12. Trust Certificates Nonassessable and Fully Paid. Trust Certificateholders shall not be personally liable for obligations of the Securitization Trust. Except as set forth herein, the interests represented by the Trust Certificates shall be nonassessable for any losses or expenses of the Securitization Trust or for any reason whatsoever, and, upon authentication thereof pursuant to Sections 3.3, 3.4 and 3.5, the Trust Certificates shall be deemed fully paid.

SECTION 3.13. No Legal Title to Owner Trust Estate in Trust Certificateholders. The Trust Certificateholders shall not have legal title to any part of the Owner Trust Estate. The Trust Certificateholders shall be entitled to receive distributions with respect to their undivided beneficial interest therein only in accordance with Articles Five and Nine. No transfer, by operation of law or otherwise, of any right, title or interest of the Trust Certificateholders to and in their beneficial interest in the Securitization Trust shall operate to terminate this Agreement or the trusts hereunder or entitle any transferee to an accounting or to the transfer to it of legal title to any part of the Owner Trust Estate.

SECTION 3.14. No Recourse. Each Trust Certificateholder by accepting a Trust Certificate acknowledges that such Trust Certificateholder’s Trust Certificates represent beneficial interests in the Securitization Trust only and do not represent interests in or obligations of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Administrator, the Owner Trustee, the Trust Company, the Indenture Trustee or any of their respective Affiliates and no recourse may be had against such parties or their assets, except as may be expressly set forth or contemplated in this Agreement or the Trust Certificates.

ARTICLE V

APPLICATION OF SECURITIZATION TRUST FUNDS; CERTAIN DUTIES

SECTION 5.1. Application of Securitization Trust Funds.

(a) At least two (2) Business Days prior to each Payment Date, the Servicer shall send instructions to the Indenture Trustee to make payments or distributions in accordance with Section 8.3 of the Indenture. Distributions to Trust Certificateholders will be made in accordance with Section 5.4(c) or Section 8.3(a)(xviii), as applicable, of the Indenture; provided, however, that so long as the Depositor or an Affiliate of the Depositor is a Trust Certificateholder, the Depositor will, or will cause such Affiliate of the Depositor to, as the case may be, promptly remit all amounts that the Depositor or such Affiliate, as applicable, receives as Trust Certificateholder pursuant to Section 5.4(c)(ELEVENTH) or Section 8.3(a)(xviii) of the Indenture and that represent Excess Exchange Note Payments to the Borrower for further application to the Lending Facility Pool.

(b) So long as the Depositor is the sole Trust Certificateholder, on or following the Payment Date on which the Note Principal Balance has been reduced to zero and all Obligations shall have been satisfied, the Depositor may direct the Owner Trustee in writing to distribute to it, and upon receipt of such direction the Owner Trustee shall distribute to or upon the order of the Depositor, the remaining assets of the Securitization Trust.

(c) On or before each Payment Date, the Servicer shall deliver to each Trust Certificateholder a Servicer Report with respect to such Payment Date and the related Collection Period.

(d) In the event that any withholding tax is imposed on the Securitization Trust’s payment (or, if the Securitization Trust is treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes, allocations of income) to a Trust Certificateholder, such tax shall reduce the amount otherwise distributable to such Trust Certificateholder in accordance with this Section. The Paying Agent is hereby authorized and directed to retain from amounts otherwise distributable to such Trust Certificateholders, sufficient funds for the payment of any withholding tax that is legally owed by the Securitization Trust (but such authorization shall not prevent the Securitization Trust from contesting any such tax in appropriate proceedings, and withholding payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings). The

amount of any withholding tax imposed with respect to a Trust Certificateholder shall be treated as cash distributed to such Trust Certificateholder, at the time it is withheld by the Securitization Trust for remittance to the appropriate taxing authority. If the Paying Agent determines that there is a possibility that withholding tax is payable with respect to a distribution, the Paying Agent may in its sole discretion withhold such amounts in accordance with this Section. In the event that a Trust Certificateholder wishes to apply for a refund of any such withholding tax, the Paying Agent shall reasonably cooperate with such Trust Certificateholder in making such claim so long as such Trust Certificateholder agrees to reimburse the Paying Agent for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred.

SECTION 5.2. Method of Payment. Subject to Section 9.1(c), distributions required to be made to Trust Certificateholders on any Payment Date shall be made by the Paying Agent to each Trust Certificateholder of record on the preceding Record Date by wire transfer, in immediately available funds, to the account of such Trust Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Trust Certificateholder shall have provided to the Certificate Registrar appropriate written instructions at least five (5) Business Days prior to such Payment Date, or, if not, by check mailed to such Trust Certificateholder at the address of such Trust Certificateholder appearing in the Certificate Register.

SECTION 5.3. Accounting and Reports to Trust Certificateholders, Internal Revenue Service and Others.

(a) The Owner Trustee shall, based on information provided by the Depositor, (i) maintain (or cause to be maintained) the books of the Securitization Trust on a fiscal year basis ending December 31 on the accrual method of accounting and in addition to the Owner Trustee’s rights under Section 5.1, take such action as instructed by the Trust Certificateholders to collect or cause to be collected and paid over to applicable authorities any withholding tax as described in and in accordance with Section 5.1 with respect to income or distributions to Trust Certificateholders.

(b) The Owner Trustee shall deliver to each Trust Certificateholder such information, reports or statements as may be required by the Code and applicable Treasury Regulations and as may be required to enable each Trust Certificateholder to prepare its federal and state income tax returns. For so long as the Trust Certificates are held by a single Trust Certificateholder, and there is no Recharacterized Class of Notes, consistent with the Securitization Trust’s characterization for federal income tax purposes as a security arrangement for the issuance of non-recourse debt or as an entity disregarded as being separate from the Trust Certificateholder, no federal income tax return shall be filed on behalf of the Securitization Trust unless either (i) the Owner Trustee shall receive an Opinion of Counsel (which shall not be at the expense of the Owner Trustee or the Trust Company) that, based on a change in applicable law occurring after the date hereof, or as a result of a transfer by the Depositor permitted by Section 3.4, the Code requires such a filing, or (ii) the Internal Revenue Service shall determine that the Securitization Trust is required to file such a return. In the event that the Securitization Trust is required to file tax returns, the Administrator shall prepare or shall cause to be prepared any tax returns required to be filed by the Securitization Trust and shall remit such returns to the Depositor (or if the Depositor no longer owns any Trust Certificates, the Trust Certificateholder designated for such purpose by the Depositor to the Securitization Trust in writing) at least five (5) days before such

returns are due to be filed, unless the Securitization Trust shall be characterized as a partnership, in which case Section 11.12(e) shall apply. The Depositor (or such designee Trust Certificateholder, as applicable) shall promptly sign such returns and deliver such returns after signature to the Administrator and such returns shall be filed by the Administrator with the appropriate tax authorities. In no event shall the Owner Trustee, the Trust Company, or the Depositor (or such designee Trust Certificateholder, as applicable) be liable for any liabilities, costs or expenses of the Securitization Trust if it is treated as a separate entity subject to taxation or the Noteholders arising out of the application of any tax law, including federal, State, foreign or local income or excise taxes or any other tax imposed on or measured by the Securitization Trust’s or a Noteholder’s income (or any interest, penalty or addition with respect thereto or arising from a failure to comply therewith) except for any such liability, cost or expense attributable to the willful misconduct or gross negligence by the Owner Trustee or the Depositor (or such designee Trust Certificateholder, as applicable), as the case may be, in breach of its obligations under this Agreement.

(c) Each Trust Certificateholder, by acceptance of such Trust Certificate or such interest therein, agrees to provide to the Owner Trustee, upon its reasonable request, the FATCA Information to the extent such Trust Certificateholder is legally entitled to do so. In addition, each Trust Certificateholder, by acceptance of such Trust Certificate or such interest therein, agrees that the Owner Trustee has the right to withhold or deduct (and to promptly pay over, in full, to the relevant taxing authority) any amounts properly withheld or deducted under law (and without any corresponding gross-up) payable to a Trust Certificateholder that fails to comply with the requirements of the preceding sentence.

ARTICLE VI

AUTHORITY AND DUTIES OF OWNER TRUSTEE

SECTION 6.1. General Authority. The Owner Trustee is authorized and empowered to execute and deliver the Program Documents to which the Securitization Trust is to be a party and each certificate or other document attached as an exhibit to or contemplated by the Program Documents to which the Securitization Trust is to be a party and any amendment or other agreement or instrument, in each case, in such form as the Depositor shall approve, as evidenced conclusively by the presentation thereof to the Owner Trustee and the Owner Trustee’s execution thereof. In addition to the foregoing, the Owner Trustee is authorized and empowered, but shall not be obligated, to take all actions required of the Securitization Trust pursuant to the Program Documents. The Owner Trustee is further authorized and empowered from time to time to take such action as the Administrator recommends with respect to the Program Documents.

SECTION 6.2. General Duties. It shall be the duty of the Owner Trustee to discharge (or cause to be discharged) only those responsibilities expressly required to be performed by it pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the Program Documents to which the Securitization Trust is a party, in the interest of the Trust Certificateholders, and in all cases subject to such Program Documents and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. In addition to the foregoing, the Owner Trustee shall comply with the obligations set forth in Section 2.5(b) of the

Servicing Supplement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Owner Trustee shall be deemed to have discharged its duties and responsibilities hereunder and under the other Program Documents to the extent the Administrator has agreed in the Administration Agreement to perform any act or to discharge any duty of the Owner Trustee or the Securitization Trust hereunder or under any other Program Document, and the Owner Trustee shall not be held liable for the default or failure of the Administrator to carry out its obligations under the Administration Agreement.

SECTION 6.3. Action upon Instruction.

(a) Subject to Article Four and in accordance with the terms of the Program Documents, the Trust Certificateholders may by written instruction direct the Owner Trustee in the management of the Securitization Trust. Such direction may be exercised at any time by written instruction of the Trust Certificateholders pursuant to Article Four.

(b) The Owner Trustee shall not be required to take any action hereunder or under any other Program Document if the Owner Trustee shall have reasonably determined, or shall have been advised by counsel, that such action is likely to result in liability on the part of the Owner Trustee or is contrary to the terms hereof or of any other Program Document or is otherwise contrary to law.

(c) Whenever the Owner Trustee is unable to decide between alternative courses of action permitted or required by the terms of this Agreement or under any other Program Document, the Owner Trustee shall promptly give notice (in such form as shall be appropriate under the circumstances) to the Trust Certificateholders requesting instruction as to the course of action to be adopted, and to the extent the Owner Trustee acts in good faith in accordance with any written instruction of the Trust Certificateholders received, the Owner Trustee shall not be liable on account of such action to any Person. If the Owner Trustee shall not have received appropriate instruction within ten (10) days of such notice (or within such shorter period of time as reasonably may be specified in such notice or may be necessary under the circumstances) it may, but shall be under no duty to, take or refrain from taking such action as it shall deem to be in the best interests of the Trust Certificateholders, and shall have no liability to any Person for such action or inaction.

(d) In the event that the Owner Trustee is unsure as to the application of any provision of this Agreement or any other Program Document or any such provision is ambiguous as to its application, or is, or appears to be, in conflict with any other applicable provision, or in the event that this Agreement permits any determination by the Owner Trustee or is silent or is incomplete as to the course of action that the Owner Trustee is required to take with respect to a particular set of facts, the Owner Trustee may give notice (in such form as shall be appropriate under the circumstances) to the Trust Certificateholders requesting instruction and, to the extent that the Owner Trustee acts or refrains from acting in good faith in accordance with any such instruction received, the Owner Trustee shall not be liable, on account of such action or inaction, to any Person. If the Owner Trustee shall not have received appropriate instruction within fifteen (15) days of such notice (or within such shorter period of time as reasonably may be specified in such notice or may be necessary under the circumstances) it may, but shall be under no duty to,

take or refrain from taking such action as it shall deem to be in the best interests of the Trust Certificateholders, and shall have no liability to any Person for such action or inaction.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the right of the Depositor or the Trust Certificateholders to take any action affecting the Owner Trust Estate shall be subject to the rights of the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture.

SECTION 6.4. No Duties Except as Specified in this Agreement or in Instructions. The Owner Trustee shall not have any duty or obligation to manage, make any payment with respect to, register, record, sell, dispose of, or otherwise deal with the Owner Trust Estate, or to otherwise take or refrain from taking any action under, or in connection with, this Agreement, the Securitization Trust or any document contemplated hereby to which the Owner Trustee is a party, except as expressly provided by the terms of this Agreement or in any document or written instruction received by the Owner Trustee pursuant to Section 6.3; and no implied duties or obligations shall be read into this Agreement or any other document against the Owner Trustee. To the extent that, at law or in equity, the Owner Trustee has duties (including, without limitation, fiduciary duties) and liabilities relating thereto to the Securitization Trust or to the Depositor and the other Trust Certificateholders, the Owner Trustee shall not be personally liable to the Securitization Trust or to the Depositor and the other Trust Certificateholders, to the fullest extent permitted by law, for the Owner Trustee’s good faith reliance on the provisions of this Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they restrict or eliminate the duties (including, without limitation, fiduciary duties) and liabilities of the Owner Trustee otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Owner Trustee, the Depositor, and the Trust Certificateholders to replace such other duties (including, without limitation, fiduciary duties) and liabilities to the fullest extent permitted by law (including, without limitation, Section 3806(c)(2) of the Statutory Trust Statute, as amended). The Owner Trustee shall have no responsibility for filing any trust licensing or qualifications to do business, securities law filing, tax filing, financing or continuation statement in any public office at any time or to otherwise perfect or maintain the perfection of any ownership or security interest or lien granted to it hereunder or to record this Agreement or any other Program Document or monitor or enforce the satisfaction of any risk retention requirement. The Owner Trustee nevertheless agrees that it will, at its own cost and expense, promptly take all action as may be necessary to discharge any liens on any part of the Owner Trust Estate that result from actions by, or claims against, the Owner Trustee that are not related to the ownership or the administration of the Owner Trust Estate.

SECTION 6.5. No Action Except Under Specified Documents or Instructions. The Owner Trustee shall not manage, control, use, sell, dispose of or otherwise deal with any part of the Owner Trust Estate except (a) in accordance with the powers granted to and the authority conferred upon the Owner Trustee pursuant to this Agreement, or (b) in accordance with any document or instruction delivered to the Owner Trustee pursuant to Section 6.3.

SECTION 6.6. Restrictions. The Owner Trustee shall not take any action (a) that is inconsistent with the purposes of the Securitization Trust set forth in Section 2.3 of this Agreement, or (b) that, to the actual knowledge of the Owner Trustee, would result in the Securitization Trust’s becoming an association (or publicly traded partnership) taxable as a

corporation for federal income tax purposes. The Trust Certificateholders shall not direct the Owner Trustee to take action that would violate the provisions of this Section.

SECTION 6.7. Covenants for Reporting of Repurchase Demands due to Breaches of Representations and Warranties.

(a) The Owner Trustee will (i) in accordance with its obligations pursuant to Section 2.5 of the 2021-1 Servicing Supplement, provide prompt written notice upon the discovery of any breach of the Servicer’s representations and warranties, (ii) no later than five (5) Business Days after the end of each calendar quarter, provide to the Servicer and the Depositor, a notice in substantially the form of Exhibit F, or any other form agreed upon between the Owner Trustee and the Depositor, which shall be deemed acceptable to the Depositor unless the Depositor notifies the Owner Trustee within five (5) Business Days of its receipt thereof, with respect to any requests (in writing or orally) for the repurchase of any 2021-1 Lease Agreement and the related 2021-1 Leased Vehicle pursuant to Section 2.5 of the 2021-1 Servicing Supplement received by a Responsible Officer of the Owner Trustee during the immediately preceding calendar quarter (or, in the case of the initial notice, since the Closing Date) and (iii) promptly upon reasonable written request by the Servicer or the Depositor, provide to them any other information reasonably requested in good faith that is in actual possession of the Owner Trustee and necessary to facilitate compliance by them with Rule 15Ga-1 under the Exchange Act, and Items 1104(e) and 1121(c) of Regulation AB.

(b) In no event will the Owner Trustee or the Issuer have any responsibility or liability in connection with (i) the compliance by the Servicer, the Depositor or any other Person with the Exchange Act or Regulation AB or (ii) any filing required to be made by a securitizer under the Exchange Act or Regulation AB. The Owner Trustee will not have a duty to conduct any affirmative investigation as to the occurrence of any conditions requiring the repurchase or reallocation of any 2021-1 Lease Agreement and the related 2021-1 Leased Vehicle pursuant to Section 2.5 of the 2021-1 Servicing Supplement.

SECTION 7.5. Not Acting in Individual Capacity. Except as provided in this Article, in accepting the trusts hereby created the Trust Company acts solely as Owner Trustee hereunder and not in its individual capacity, and all Persons having any claim against the Owner Trustee or the Trust by reason of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Program Document shall look only to the Owner Trust Estate for payment or satisfaction thereof.

SECTION 7.6. Owner Trustee Not Liable for Trust Certificates. The recitals contained herein and in the Trust Certificates (other than the signature and any authentication of the Owner Trustee on the Trust Certificates) shall be taken as the statements of the Depositor, and the Owner Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness thereof.

SECTION 7.8. Doing Business in Other Jurisdictions

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, neither Wilmington Trust Company or any successor thereto, nor the Owner Trustee shall be required to take any action in any jurisdiction other than in the State of Delaware if the taking of such action will, even after the appointment of a co-trustee or separate trustee in accordance with Section 10.5 hereof, (a) require the consent or approval or authorization or order of or the giving of notice to, or the registration with or the taking of any other action in respect of, any state or other governmental authority or agency of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware; (b) result in any fee, tax or other governmental charge under the laws of the State of Delaware becoming payable by Wilmington Trust Company (or any successor thereto); or (c) subject Wilmington Trust Company (or any successor thereto) to personal jurisdiction in any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware for causes of action arising from acts unrelated to the consummation of the transactions by Wilmington Trust Company (or any successor thereto) or the Owner Trustee, as the case may be, contemplated hereby.

SECTION 7.9. Financial Crimes Enforcement Network’s Customer Due Diligence Requirements. To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, the Customer Identification Program requirements established under the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001, Title III of Pub. L. 107 56 and its implementing regulations (together, the “USA PATRIOT Act”), the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network’s Customer Due Diligence Requirements (the “FinCEN Due Diligence Requirements”) and such other laws, rules, regulations and executive orders in effect from time to time applicable to banking institutions (collectively, with the USA PATRIOT Act and FinCEN Due Diligence Requirements, the “Applicable Anti-Money Laundering Law”), requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Person who opens an account. Accordingly, in order to comply with Applicable Money-Laundering Law, the Owner Trustee will request on or before the Closing Date and from time to time thereafter reasonable documentation to verify and record information that identifies each Person who opens an account. For a non-individual Person, such as a business entity, a charity, a trust or other “legal entity customer” (as defined in the FinCEN Due Diligence Requirements), the Owner Trustee may request and shall be entitled to receive from such Person reasonable documentation to verify its formation and existence as a legal entity, financial statements, licenses, tax identification documents, and identification and authorization documents from individuals claiming authority to represent the entity or other relevant documentation and information (including beneficial owners of such entities) (collectively, the “Owner Trustee Due Diligence Documents”). Failure by a Person who opens an account to provide such Owner Trustee Due Diligence Documents may result in an inability of the Owner Trustee to perform its obligations hereunder which, at the sole option of the Owner Trustee, may result in the immediate resignation of the Owner Trustee pursuant to Section 10.2. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such Person who opens an account is not a legal entity customer (as defined in the FinCEN Due Diligence Requirements), in the determination of the Owner Trustee (in the Owner Trustee’s reasonable discretion), such Person shall not be required

to provide to the Owner Trustee the Owner Trustee Due Diligence Documents, and any such requirement to provide such information shall be deemed satisfied.

SECTION 7.10. Beneficial Ownership and Control of Trust. The parties hereto agree that for purposes of Applicable Money-Laundering Law (a) the Trust Certificateholders are and shall be deemed to be the sole beneficial owner of the Trust and (b) the Trust Certificateholders and the Administrator are and shall deemed to be the parties with the power and authority to control the Securitization Trust.

ARTICLE VIII

COMPENSATION OF OWNER TRUSTEE

SECTION 8.1. Owner Trustee’s Fees and Expenses. The Trust Company shall receive as compensation for its services hereunder such fees as have been separately agreed upon before the date hereof between the Administrator and the Trust Company, and the Trust Company shall be entitled to be reimbursed by the Administrator for its other reasonable expenses hereunder, including the reasonable compensation, expenses and disbursements of such agents, representatives, experts and counsel as the Trust Company may employ in connection with the negotiation, execution and delivery of the Program Documents and the exercise and performance of its power, authority, rights and its duties hereunder.

SECTION 8.2. Indemnification. To the fullest extent permitted by law, and notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement or elsewhere, the Administrator shall be liable as primary obligor for, and to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Trust Company, and its successors, assigns, agents, servants, officers, directors and employees (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, taxes, claims, actions, fees, penalties, demands, proceedings, and suits, and any and all costs, expenses and disbursements (including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees and expenses and including, without limitation, any legal fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with any enforcement (including any action, claim or suit) brought by the Indemnified Parties for any indemnification or other obligation of the Administrator) of any kind and nature whatsoever (collectively, “Expenses”), which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Owner Trustee or any Indemnified Party in any way resulting from this Agreement, the other Program Documents, the Owner Trust Estate, the Securitization Trust, or any action or inaction of the Owner Trustee relating thereto, except only that the Administrator shall not be liable for or required to indemnify an Indemnified Party from and against Expenses arising or resulting from any of the matters described in the third sentence of Section 7.1. The indemnities contained in this Section shall survive the resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee or the termination of the Securitization Trust or this Agreement. In any event of any claim, action or proceeding for which indemnity will be sought pursuant to this Section, the Owner Trustee’s choice of legal counsel shall be subject to the approval of the Administrator, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

SECTION 8.3. Payments to Owner Trustee. Any amounts paid to the Owner Trustee pursuant to this Article shall be deemed not to be a part of the Owner Trust Estate immediately after such payment.

ARTICLE IX

TERMINATION OF TRUST AGREEMENT

SECTION 9.1. Termination of Trust Agreement.

(a) The Securitization Trust shall dissolve upon the final distribution by the Owner Trustee of all monies or other property or proceeds of the Owner Trust Estate in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, the 2021-1 Servicing Agreement and Article Five hereof. Neither the Depositor nor any Trust Certificateholder shall be entitled to otherwise revoke, dissolve or terminate the Securitization Trust. The bankruptcy, liquidation, dissolution, death or incapacity of any Trust Certificateholder shall not (i) operate to dissolve or terminate this Agreement or the Securitization Trust, (ii) entitle such Trust Certificateholder’s legal representatives or heirs to claim an accounting or to take any action or proceeding in any court for a partition or winding up of all or any part of the Securitization Trust or Owner Trust Estate, or (iii) otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the parties hereto.

(b) Notice of any dissolution of the Securitization Trust, specifying the Payment Date upon which Trust Certificateholders shall surrender their Trust Certificates to the Paying Agent for payment of the final distribution and cancellation, shall be given by the Administrator by letter to the Owner Trustee and all Trust Certificateholders mailed within five (5) Business Days of receipt of a termination notice of such termination from the Servicer, stating (i) the Payment Date upon or with respect to which final payment of the Trust Certificates shall be made upon presentation and surrender of the Trust Certificates at the office of the Owner Trustee or the Paying Agent therein designated, (ii) the amount of any such final payment, and (iii) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Payment Date is not applicable, payments being made only upon presentation and surrender of the Trust Certificates at the office of the Owner Trustee or the Paying Agent therein specified. The Administrator shall give such notice to the Certificate Registrar (if other than the Owner Trustee) and the Paying Agent at the time such notice is given to Trust Certificateholders. Upon presentation and surrender of the Trust Certificates, the Paying Agent shall cause to be distributed to Trust Certificateholders amounts distributable on such Payment Date pursuant to Section 5.2.

In the event that all of the Trust Certificateholders shall not surrender their Trust Certificates for cancellation within six months after the date specified in the above mentioned written notice, the Administrator shall so notify the Owner Trustee in writing and the Owner Trustee shall give a second written notice to the remaining Trust Certificateholders to surrender their Trust Certificates for cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all the Trust Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Owner Trustee may take appropriate steps, or may appoint an agent to take appropriate steps, to contact the remaining Trust Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Trust Certificates, and the cost thereof shall be paid out of the funds and other assets that shall remain subject to this Agreement. Subject to applicable escheat laws, any funds remaining in the Securitization Trust after exhaustion of such remedies shall be distributed by the Paying Agent to the Depositor.

(c) Upon the completion of the winding up of the Securitization Trust by the Administrator in accordance with Section 3808 of the Statutory Trust Statute and at the written direction of the Depositor, the Owner Trustee, at the expense of the Depositor shall cause the Certificate of Trust to be cancelled by filing a certificate of cancellation with the Delaware Secretary of State in accordance with the provisions of Section 3810 of the Statutory Trust Statute and the Securitization Trust and this Agreement (other than Article Eight) shall terminate and be of no further force or effect.

If such national banking association or corporation shall publish reports of condition at least annually pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purpose of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. In case at any time the Owner Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Owner Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 10.2.

SECTION 10.2. Resignation or Removal of Owner Trustee. The Owner Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby created by giving written notice thereof to the Administrator. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Administrator shall promptly appoint a successor Owner Trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Owner Trustee and one copy to the successor Owner Trustee. If no successor Owner Trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within thirty (30) days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Owner Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Owner Trustee.

If at any time the Owner Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.1 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Administrator, or if at any time the Owner Trustee shall be legally unable to act, or shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Owner Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Owner Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then the Administrator may remove the Owner Trustee. If the Administrator shall remove the Owner Trustee under the authority of the immediately preceding sentence, the Administrator shall promptly appoint a successor Owner Trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the outgoing Owner Trustee so removed and one copy to

the successor Owner Trustee, and shall pay all amounts owed to the outgoing Owner Trustee in its individual capacity.

Any resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee and appointment of a successor Owner Trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall not become effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor Owner Trustee pursuant to Section 10.3 and any such removal shall be subject to payment of all amounts owed to the outgoing Owner Trustee in its individual capacity. The Issuer shall pay any costs and expenses associated with the replacement of the Owner Trustee. To the extent the Issuer fails to pay any such costs or expenses on or before the Payment Date following the replacement of the Owner Trustee, the Administrator shall pay such amount then-outstanding.

SECTION 10.3. Successor Owner Trustee. Any successor Owner Trustee appointed pursuant to Section 10.2 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Administrator and to its predecessor Owner Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment under this Agreement, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor Owner Trustee shall become effective, and such successor Owner Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor under this Agreement, with like effect as if originally named as Owner Trustee. The predecessor Owner Trustee shall upon payment of its fees and expenses deliver to the successor Owner Trustee all documents and statements and monies held by it under this Agreement; and the Administrator and the predecessor Owner Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required for fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor Owner Trustee all such rights, powers, duties and obligations.

No successor Owner Trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Owner Trustee shall be eligible pursuant to Section 10.1.

Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Owner Trustee pursuant to this Section, the Administrator shall mail notice thereof to all Trust Certificateholders, the Indenture Trustee, the Administrative Agent and the Noteholders. If the Administrator shall fail to mail such notice within ten (10) days after acceptance of such appointment by the successor Owner Trustee, the successor Owner Trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Administrator.

SECTION 10.4. Merger or Consolidation of Owner Trustee. Any Person into which the Owner Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Owner Trustee shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Owner Trustee, shall be the successor of the Owner Trustee hereunder, without the execution or filing of any instrument or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding; provided, that such Person shall be eligible pursuant to Section 10.1.

SECTION 10.5. Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal

requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Owner Trust Estate may at the time be located, the Administrator and the Owner Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by the Administrator and Owner Trustee to act as co-trustee, jointly with the Owner Trustee, or as separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Owner Trust Estate, and to vest in such Person, in such capacity, such title to the Securitization Trust or any part thereof and, subject to the other provisions of this Section, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Administrator and the Owner Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If the Administrator shall not have joined in such appointment within fifteen (15) days after the receipt by it of a request so to do, the Owner Trustee alone shall have the power to make such appointment. No co-trustee or separate trustee under this Agreement shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor Owner Trustee pursuant to Section 10.1 and no notice of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required pursuant to Section 10.3.

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

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

(b) No trustee under this Agreement shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee under this Agreement; and

(c) The Administrator and the Owner Trustee acting jointly may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee.

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

Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time appoint the Owner Trustee as its agent or attorney-in-fact with full power and authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any

lawful act under or in respect of this Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the Owner Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor co-trustee or separate trustee.

ARTICLE XI

(a) termination of the Titling Trust Agreement, against the Settlor or the Titling Trust; and

(b) payment in full of` the Notes, against the Depositor or the Securitization Trust.

SECTION 11.8. Headings. The headings of the various Articles and Sections herein are for convenience of reference only and shall not define or limit any of the terms or provisions hereof.

SECTION 11.10. Administrator. It shall be the Administrator’s duty and responsibility, and not the Owner Trustee’s duty or responsibility, to cause the Securitization Trust to respond to, defend, participate in or otherwise act in connection with any regulatory, administrative, governmental, investigative or other proceeding or inquiry relating in any way to the Securitization Trust, its assets or the conduct of its business; provided, that, the Owner Trustee hereby agrees to cooperate with the Administrator and to comply with any reasonable request made by the Administrator for the delivery of information or documents to the Administrator in the Owner Trustee’s actual possession relating to any such regulatory, administrative, governmental, investigative or other proceeding or inquiry.

SECTION 11.11. Regulation AB. The Owner Trustee acknowledges and agrees that the purpose of this Section 11.11 is to facilitate compliance by the Issuer with the provisions of Regulation AB and related rules and regulations of the Commission. The Owner Trustee acknowledges that interpretations of the requirements of Regulation AB may change over time, whether due to interpretive guidance provided by the Commission or its staff, consensus among participants in the asset-backed securities markets, advice of counsel, or otherwise, and agrees hereby to comply with reasonable requests made by the Servicer in good faith for delivery of information under these provisions on the basis of evolving interpretations of Regulation AB. The Owner Trustee shall cooperate fully with the Servicer and the Issuer to deliver to the Servicer and the Issuer any and all statements, reports, certifications, records and any other information necessary in the good faith determination of the Servicer to permit the Servicer and the Issuer to comply with the provisions of Regulation AB, together with such disclosures relating to the Owner Trustee reasonably believed by the Servicer to be necessary in order to effect such compliance.

SECTION 11.12. Tax Matters.

(a) Disregarded Entity. The parties and the Depositor intend that, for purposes of U.S. federal income, state and local income, and franchise taxes, so long as the Issuer has a single equity owner (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes), the Issuer will be treated as an entity disregarded as separate from such owner for U.S. federal income, state and local income, and franchise tax purposes.

(b) Amendment if a Partnership. At any such time that the Issuer has two or more equity owners, this Agreement will be amended, in accordance with Section 11.1 herein, and appropriate provisions will be added so as to provide for treatment of the Issuer as a partnership.

(c) Recharacterized Classes. If one or more Classes of Notes is recharacterized by the United States Internal Revenue Service as an equity interest in the Issuer, and not as indebtedness (a “Recharacterized Class”) and a Recharacterized Class is treated as not owned for U.S. federal income tax purposes by the same entity that owns the Issuer, or if there is more than one equity owner of the Issuer, the parties intend that the Issuer be characterized as a partnership among the Depositor (if it is at that time treated as an equity owner of the Issuer for U.S. federal income tax purposes), any other Trust Certificateholder, and holders of any Recharacterized Class or Classes.

(d) Filing of Returns. The parties agree that, unless required by the tax authorities, the Securitization Trust will file or cause to be filed any required annual or other tax returns, reports and other forms consistent with the characterizations described in Section 11.12(a), in the manner described in Section 5.3(b).

(e) Elections. If the Issuer is classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Depositor (or if the Depositor is no longer a Trust Certificateholder, the Majority Certificateholder) or its assignee will (i) prepare and sign, on behalf of the Issuer, the tax returns of the Issuer and (ii) be designated as the partnership representative of the Issuer under Section 6223(a) of the Code to the extent allowed under the law. The partnership representative, may, in its sole discretion, cause the Issuer to make an election under Section 754 of the Code. The partnership representative shall (i) if the Issuer is eligible, cause the Issuer to elect, pursuant to Section 6221(b) of the Code, that Section 6221(a) of the Code shall not apply to the Issuer or (ii) if the election in Section 6221(b) of the Code is not available, to the extent applicable, cause the Issuer to make the election under Section 6226(a) of the Code. The partnership representative may also make any other available election under Sections 6221 through 6241 of the Code, including any other Code provisions for the same subject matter, and any related regulations, and take any action it deems necessary or appropriate to comply with the requirements of the Code and to conduct the Issuer’s activities under Sections 6221 through 6241 of the Code. The provisions of this Section 11.12(e) shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

SECTION 11.13. Force Majeure. The Owner Trustee shall not be responsible for delays or failures in performance resulting directly or indirectly from forces beyond its control (including, without limitation, acts of God, strikes, work stoppages, accidents, severe weather, floods, nuclear or natural catastrophes, lockouts, riots, civil or military disturbances, acts of war or terrorism, pandemics or epidemics, any provision of any present or future law or regulation or any act of any governmental authority, and any interruption, loss or malfunction of utilities, communications, computer services (software or hardware) or Federal Reserve Bank wire service) provided such default or delay could not have been prevented by the taking of commercially reasonable precautions such as the implementation and execution of disaster recovery plans.

GM FINANCIAL AUTOMOBILE LEASING TRUST 2021-1

TRUST CERTIFICATE

ASSET BACKED CERTIFICATE

Evidencing an undivided beneficial interest in the Securitization Trust, as defined below, the property of which includes, among the other things, the 2021-1 Exchange Note.

(This Trust Certificate does not represent an interest in or obligation of GMF Leasing LLC, AmeriCredit Financial Services, Inc. d/b/a GM Financial (“GM Financial”) or any of their respective Affiliates, except to the extent described below.)

THIS CERTIFIES THAT GMF LEASING LLC is the registered owner of a ONE HUNDRED PERCENT nonassessable, fully-paid, undivided percentage beneficial interest in GM Financial Automobile Leasing Trust 2021-1 (the “Securitization Trust”), formed by GMF Leasing LLC (the “Depositor”).

The Securitization Trust is governed pursuant to an Amended and Restated Trust Agreement, dated as of January 5, 2021 (as the same may be further amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Trust Agreement”), between the Depositor and Wilmington Trust Company, as owner trustee (the “Owner Trustee”), a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth below. Capitalized terms used herein that are not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Trust Agreement. In the event of conflict between the terms of this Trust Certificate and the Trust Agreement, the terms of the Trust Agreement shall control.

This Trust Certificate is one of the duly authorized class of certificates (herein called the “Trust Certificates”). Also issued under an Indenture, dated as of January 5, 2021 (as the same may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Indenture”), among the Securitization Trust, GM Financial, as servicer, and Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association, as indenture trustee, are Notes designated as “Series 2021-1 Class A-1 0.11542% Fixed Rate Asset Backed Notes,” “Series 2021-1 Class A-2 0.17% Fixed Rate Asset Backed Notes,” “Series 2021-1 Class A-3 0.26% Fixed Rate Asset Backed Notes,” “Series 2021-1 Class A-4 0.33% Fixed Rate Asset Backed Notes,” “Series 2021-1 Class B 0.54% Fixed Rate Asset Backed Notes,” “Series 2021-1 Class C 0.70% Fixed Rate Asset Backed Notes” and “Series 2021-1 Class D 1.01% Fixed Rate Asset Backed Notes” (together, the “Notes”). This Trust Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Trust Agreement, to which Trust Agreement the holder of this Trust Certificate by virtue of its acceptance hereof assents and by which such holder is bound. The property of the Securitization Trust consists primarily of the 2021-1 Exchange Note, certain bank accounts and the proceeds

A-3

thereof, certain other rights under the Trust Agreement, the 2021-1 Exchange Note Sale Agreement, and the 2021-1 Servicing Agreement and all proceeds of the foregoing. The rights of the Securitization Trust in the foregoing property have been pledged by the Securitization Trust to the Indenture Trustee to secure payments of the Notes.

The Trust Certificates represent obligations of the Securitization Trust only and do not represent interests in, recourse to or obligations of the Depositor, the Owner Trustee or any of their respective Affiliates.

Distributions on this Trust Certificate will be made as provided in the Trust Agreement to the Person in whose name this Trust Certificate is registered at the close of business on the related Record Date, such Trust Certificateholder’s Percentage Interest in the amount to be distributed with respect to the Trust Certificates on such Payment Date.

The holder of this Trust Certificate acknowledges and agrees that its rights to receive payments in respect of this Trust Certificate are subordinated to the rights of the Noteholders as described in the Indenture and the Trust Agreement, as applicable.

It is the intent of the Depositor and the Trust Certificateholders that the Trust Certificates represent the equity interest in the Securitization Trust for U.S. federal and state income, single business and franchise tax purposes. For so long as the Trust Certificates are held by a single owner for federal income tax purposes, the Securitization Trust will be treated as an entity disregarded as separate from such owner for purposes of federal income tax or state income, single business and franchise taxes. If, however, the Securitization Trust is characterized as a separate entity for federal income tax purposes, it is the intention of the parties to the Trust Agreement that it qualify as a partnership for such purposes and the Trust Certificateholders will be treated as partners in that partnership. The Depositor and the other Trust Certificateholders, by acceptance of a Trust Certificate, agree to take no action inconsistent with such tax treatment of the Trust Certificates.

Each Trust Certificateholder by accepting a Trust Certificate, covenants and agrees that such Trust Certificateholder will not institute, or join in instituting, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding, or other proceeding under any United States, federal or state bankruptcy or similar law for a period of one year and a day after:

(a) termination of the Titling Trust Agreement, against the Settlor or the Titling Trust; and

(b) payment in full of the Notes, against the Depositor or the Securitization Trust.

Distributions on this Trust Certificate will be made as provided in the Trust Agreement by the Paying Agent by wire transfer or check mailed to the Trust Certificateholder of record in the Certificate Register without the presentation or surrender of this Trust Certificate or the making of any notation hereon. Except as otherwise provided in the Trust Agreement and notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Trust Certificate will be made after due notice by the Owner Trustee of the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and

A-4

surrender of this Trust Certificate at the office or agency maintained for that purpose by the Paying Agent at its offices in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Trust Certificate set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon shall have been executed by an authorized officer of the Owner Trustee or its Authenticating Agent, by manual signature, this Trust Certificate shall not entitle the holder hereof to any benefit under the Trust Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

THIS TRUST CERTIFICATE SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE, 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.

A-5

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Owner Trustee, on behalf of the Securitization Trust and not in its individual capacity, has caused this Trust Certificate to be duly executed.

[REVERSE OF TRUST CERTIFICATE]

The Trust Certificates do not represent an obligation of, or an interest in, the Depositor, the Servicer, the Owner Trustee or any of their respective Affiliates and no recourse may be had against such parties or their assets, except as expressly set forth or contemplated herein or in the Trust Agreement or the other Program Documents. In addition, this Trust Certificate is not guaranteed by any governmental agency or instrumentality and is limited in right of payment to certain collections and recoveries with respect to the 2021-1 Exchange Note (and certain other amounts), all as more specifically set forth herein and in the 2021-1 Servicing Agreement and the Indenture. A copy of each of the Indenture, the 2021-1 Servicing Agreement and the Trust Agreement may be examined by any Trust Certificateholder upon written request during normal business hours at the principal office of the Depositor and at such other places, if any, designated by the Depositor.

The Trust Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Depositor and the rights of the Trust Certificateholders under the Trust Agreement at any time by the Depositor and the Owner Trustee with the consent of the Majority Noteholders and Trust Certificateholders of Trust Certificates evidencing not less than a majority of the Percentage Interests. Any such consent by the holder of this Trust Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such holder and on all future holders of this Trust Certificate and of any Trust Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Trust Certificate.

As provided in the Trust Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Trust Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Trust Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or agencies of the Certificate Registrar, accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Owner Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Trust Certificateholder hereof or such Trust Certificateholder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Trust Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest in the Securitization Trust will be issued to the designated transferee. The initial Certificate Registrar appointed under the Trust Agreement is Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association. No service charge will be made for any such registration or transfer or exchange, but the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

This certificate may not be held or beneficially owned by any Person that is not a United States person as defined under Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code.

No sale or transfer of a Trust Certificate shall be permitted (including, without limitation, by pledge or hypothecation), and no such sale or transfer shall be registered by the Certificate Registrar to be effective hereunder, if the sale or transfer thereof increases the number of Trust Certificateholders and Titling Trust Certificateholders to more than ninety-five (95). In addition, no sale or transfer of a Trust Certificate shall be registered by the Certificate Registrar or made effective hereunder unless, as evidenced by a written representation and covenant by the transferee in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar (upon which representation and

A-8

covenant the Certificate Registrar may conclusively rely without independent investigation), no member of the transferee’s expanded group as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.385-1(c)(4) (including through a controlled partnership as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.385-1(c)(1)) is or will become the beneficial owner of a Note. If a Trust Certificateholder or a member of its expanded group becomes the beneficial owner of a Note, the Depositor is authorized at its discretion to compel such Trust Certificateholder to sell its Trust Certificate to a Person whose ownership complies with this paragraph so long as such sale does not otherwise cause a material adverse effect on the Issuer.

The Trust Certificates are issuable only as registered Trust Certificates. As provided in the Trust Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Trust Certificates are exchangeable for new Trust Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Trust Certificateholder surrendering the same. No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

The Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and any agent of the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name this Trust Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar or any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

The obligations and responsibilities created by the Trust Agreement and the Securitization Trust created thereby shall terminate upon the payment to Trust Certificateholders of all amounts required to be paid to them pursuant to the Trust Agreement and the Indenture and the disposition of all property held as part of the Owner Trust Estate.

The Trust Certificates may not be acquired or held by or for the account of a Benefit Plan Entity. The holder of this Trust Certificate shall be deemed to represent and warrant that it is not a Benefit Plan Entity.
