In addition to the grant of the Indenture, the Issuing Entity hereby grants to the Indenture Trustee, for the exclusive benefit of the Holders of the Series 2013-1 Notes, all of the Issuing Entity’s right, title and interest (whether now owned or hereafter acquired) in, to and under the following (collectively, the “Series Collateral”) with respect to the Series 2013-1:

(i) all Collections on the Receivables allocated to the Series 2013-1 Notes;

(ii) all Eligible Investments and all monies, instruments, securities, security entitlements, documents, certificates of deposit and other property from time to time on deposit in or credited to the Series Accounts (including any subaccount thereof) and in all interest, proceeds, earnings, income, revenue, dividends and other distributions thereof (including any accrued discount realized on liquidation of any investment purchased at a discount) other than Investment Proceeds with respect to the Note Defeasance Account; and

(iii) all present and future claims, demands, causes of action and choses in action regarding any of the foregoing and all payments on any of the foregoing and all proceeds of any nature whatsoever regarding any of the foregoing, including all proceeds of the voluntary or involuntary conversion thereof into cash or other liquid property and all cash proceeds, accounts, accounts receivable, notes, drafts, acceptances, chattel paper, checks, deposit accounts, insurance proceeds, condemnation awards, rights to payment of any kind and other forms of obligations and receivables, instruments and other property that at any time constitute any part of or are included in the proceeds of any of the foregoing.


The foregoing grants are made in trust to secure (a) the Issuing Entity’s obligations under the Series 2013-1 Notes equally and ratably without prejudice, priority or distinction between any Series 2013-1 Note and any other Series 2013-1 Notes, other than as expressly provided in this Indenture Supplement, (b) the payment of all other sums payable under the Series 2013-1 Notes, the Indenture and this Indenture Supplement and (c) the compliance with the terms and conditions of the Series 2013-1 Notes, the Indenture and this Indenture Supplement, all as provided herein or therein.

The Indenture Trustee, as indenture trustee on behalf of the Noteholders, hereby acknowledges the foregoing grants, accepts the trusts under this Indenture Supplement in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture Supplement, and agrees to perform the duties herein required to the end that the interests of the Noteholders may be adequately protected.

ARTICLE I

CREATION OF SERIES 2013-1 NOTES

SECTION 1.01 Designation.

(a) There is hereby created a Series of Notes to be issued by the Issuing Entity on the Closing Date pursuant to the Indenture and this Indenture Supplement to be known as the “Series 2013-1 Asset Backed Notes” or the “Series 2013-1 Notes.” The Series 2013-1 Notes shall be issued in five Classes, the first shall be known as the “Series 2013-1 Asset Backed Notes, Class A,” the second shall be known as the “Series 2013-1 Floating Rate Asset Backed Notes, Class B,” the third shall be known as the “Series 2013-1 Floating Rate Asset Backed Notes, Class C,” the fourth shall be known as the “Series 2013-1 Floating Rate Asset Backed Notes, Class D,” and the fifth shall be known as the “Series 2013-1 Asset Backed Equity Notes, Class E.” The Series 2013-1 Asset Backed Notes, Class A, shall be issued in two Tranches. The first shall be known as the “Series 2013-1 Floating Rate Asset Backed Notes, Class A-1” and the second shall be known as the “Series 2013-1 Fixed Rate Asset Backed Notes, Class A-2.” The Series 2013-1 Notes shall be due and payable on the Series 2013-1 Legal Maturity Date.

(b) Series 2013-1 shall be a Nonoverconcentration Series. Series 2013-1 shall be in Excess Interest Sharing Group One and in Principal Sharing Group One. Series 2013-1 shall not be a Shared Enhancement Series or in an Interest Reallocation Group. Series 2013-1 shall not be subordinated to any other Series.

(c) The Series 2013-1 Notes are “Notes” and this Indenture Supplement is an “Indenture Supplement” for all purposes under the Indenture. If any provision of the Series 2013-1 Notes or this Indenture Supplement conflicts with or is inconsistent with any provision of the Indenture, the provisions of the Series 2013-1 Notes or this Indenture Supplement, as the case may be, control.

(d) Each term defined in Section 2.01 of this Indenture Supplement relates only to Series 2013-1 and this Indenture Supplement and to no other Series or Indenture Supplements.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Indenture, the Series 2013-1 Notes, other than the Class E Note, shall be issued in fully registered form in minimum amounts of $100,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof (except that one Note from each such class may be issued in a different amount so long as such amount exceeds $1,000); provided that the minimum amounts of the Series 2013-1 Notes, other than the Class E Note, shall be subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 4.14. The Class E Note shall be issued in fully registered form in a principal amount equal to the Class E Note Principal Balance. The Class E Note will be issuable in a minimum denomination of 100% of the Class E Note Principal Balance.

SECTION 1.02 Reopening of Class or Tranche of Notes.

The Depositor may from time to time, with notice to the Rating Agencies but without notice to, or the consent of, the holders of a Class or Tranche of Series 2013-1 Notes, create and issue additional Series 2013-1 Notes equal in rank to any Class or Tranche of Series 2013-1 Notes previously offered in all respects or in all respects, except for the payment of interest accruing prior to the Issuance Date of such additional Series 2013-1 Notes in a Class or Tranche of Series 2013-1 Notes or except for the first payment of interest following the Issuance Date of such additional Series 2013-1 Notes in a Class or Tranche of Series 2013-1 Notes. This is called a “reopening.” When issued, the additional Series 2013-1 Notes of a Class or Tranche shall be equally and ratably entitled to the benefits of the Indenture and this Indenture Supplement applicable to those Series 2013-1 Notes with the other Outstanding Notes of that Class or Tranche without preference, priority or distinction. These additional Series 2013-1 Notes may be consolidated and form a single Class or Tranche with the previously issued Series 2013-1 Notes and shall have the same terms as to status, redemption or otherwise as the previously issued Series 2013-1 Notes.

(k) Note Defeasance Account. With respect to each Collection Period, no later than 10:00 am Central time on any Business Day of such Collection Period, including pursuant to Section 4.04(d) and (e), the Servicer, at the direction of the Depositor, shall and, the Servicer may (if Ally Financial or an Affiliate of Ally Financial is the Servicer), in its discretion, specify to the Indenture Trustee an amount of Available Series Interest Collections and Available Series Principal Collections to be withdrawn from the Collection Account or, with respect to any amounts on deposit in the Note Distribution Account constituting Available Series Principal Collections, the Note Distribution Account, and deposited into the Note Defeasance Account. With respect to any Collection Period, the aggregate of such amounts deposited into the Note Defeasance Account, as reasonably calculated by the Servicer (i) with respect to each Collection Period (or portion thereof) that does not occur during a Controlled Accumulation Period or Early Amortization Period, shall not be in excess of the lesser of (1) Available Series Interest Collections for such Collection Period plus Reallocated Principal Collections for the related Distribution Date less the Monthly Servicing Fee for such Collection Period and (2) the aggregate amount necessary to make the allocations and distributions required by clauses (ii) through (v) of Section 4.04(a) and (ii) with respect to each Collection Period (or portion thereof) that occurs during a Controlled Accumulation Period or Early Amortization Period, shall not be in excess of the lesser of (1) the aggregate of the Available Series Interest Collections for such Collection Period, plus the Available Series Principal Collections for such Collection Period, less the Monthly Servicing Fee for such Collection Period and (2) the aggregate amount necessary to make the allocations and distributions required by (x) clauses (ii) through (v) of Section 4.04(a) and (y) Section 4.04(d) or 4.04(e), as applicable, during such Collection Period.

29


(l) No later than 10:00 am Central time on each Business Day on which amounts are to be withdrawn from the Collection Account or the Note Distribution Account and deposited into the Note Defeasance Account pursuant to Section 4.04(k), the Servicer shall notify the Indenture Trustee of the sources and amounts to be deposited in the Note Defeasance Account on such Business Day and the Indenture Trustee shall transfer such amount from the Collection Account or the Note Distribution Account, as applicable, to the Note Defeasance Account.

SECTION 4.05 Series Charge-Offs.

(a) On each Determination Date, the Servicer shall calculate the Series Defaulted Amount, if any, for the related Distribution Date. If the Series Defaulted Amount for any Distribution Date exceeds the sum of:

(i) the Available Series Interest Collections for such Distribution Date applied to fund such Series Defaulted Amount pursuant to Section 4.04(a)(vi);

(iii) the Reserve Fund Available Amount for such Distribution Date applied to fund such Series Defaulted Amount pursuant to Section 4.04(a)(vi) in accordance with Section 4.04(b)(ii) (after giving effect to the application of such amounts to items (i) through (v) in Section 4.04(a)); and;

(iv) the amount of Servicer Advances for such Distribution Date applied to fund such Series Defaulted Amount pursuant to Section 4.04(a)(vi) in accordance with Section 4.04(b)(iv);

then, a “Series Charge-Off” in the amount of such excess shall exist for such Distribution Date and shall reduce the Invested Amount.

(b) The reduction in the Invested Amount for such Distribution Date due to such Series Charge-Off shall be allocated as follows:

(i) first, the Class E Invested Amount shall be reduced by the amount of such reduction until the Class E Invested Amount is reduced to zero; then

(ii) second, the Class D Invested Amount shall be reduced by any remaining amount until the Class D Invested Amount is reduced to zero; then

If, on any Distribution Date, Reallocated Principal Collections for such Distribution Date are so applied, then, the Invested Amount shall be reduced by the amount of such application and, if such amounts are from withdrawals from the Note Distribution Account or the Note Defeasance Account, those amounts shall be deemed not to have been allocated or deposited into the Note Distribution Account or the Note Defeasance Account, as applicable, for purposes of this Indenture Supplement. The reduction in the Invested Amount for such Distribution Date due to the application of such Reallocated Principal Collections shall be allocated as follows:

(a) first, the Class E Invested Amount shall be reduced by the amount of such reduction until the Class E Invested Amount is reduced to zero; then

The “Interest Collections Shortfall” for Series 2013-1 for any Distribution Date shall equal the excess, if any, of (a) the full amount required to be paid, without duplication, pursuant to clauses (i) through (xii) of Section 4.04(a) on such Distribution Date, over (b) the Available Series Interest Collections for such Distribution Date. The maximum amount of “Excess Interest Collections” with respect to Series 2013-1 for any Distribution Date available for other Series in Excess Sharing Group One shall equal the excess, if any, of (a) the Available Series Interest Collections for such Distribution Date over (b) the full amount required to be distributed, without duplication, pursuant to clauses (i) through (xii) of Section 4.04(a) on such Distribution Date.

The Indenture Trustee shall cause each Eligible Investment to be delivered to it or its nominee (including a securities intermediary) and shall be credited to the Reserve Fund.

After the Closing Date, funds shall be deposited into the Reserve Fund as provided in Section 4.04(a)(x). The Depositor may at any time and from time to time make additional deposits into the Reserve Fund; provided, however, the Depositor shall not be permitted to make any such discretionary deposit without satisfaction of the Series 2013-1 Rating Agency Condition with respect to each Class of Series 2013-1 Notes in connection therewith if such deposit, together with any discretionary increases in the Subordination Factor and the Class E Invested Amount, would result in the aggregate amount of all such deposits and increases exceeding 5.0% of the Note Principal Balance as of the date of such deposit.

(d) If on any Distribution Date, after giving effect to all withdrawals from and deposits to the Reserve Fund, the amount on deposit in the Reserve Fund (excluding amounts representing Investment Proceeds) exceeds the Reserve Fund Required Amount then in effect, the Indenture Trustee shall, at the written direction of the Servicer, distribute such excess to the Owner Trustee for distribution to the holders of the Certificate Interest in accordance with the Trust Agreement.

(e) Upon the earlier to occur of the date on which the Series 2013-1 Notes are paid in full and the Series 2013-1 Legal Maturity Date, any funds remaining in the Reserve Fund, after giving effect to any deposits and withdrawals made therefrom on such date, shall be treated as Additional Available Series Principal Collections. The Reserve Fund shall thereafter be deemed to have terminated for purposes of this Indenture Supplement.

SECTION 4.12 Determination of LIBOR.

(a) On each LIBOR Determination Date, the Indenture Trustee shall determine LIBOR on the basis of the rate for deposits in United States dollars for a one-month period which appears on Bloomberg Screen BTMM Page under the heading “LIBOR FIX BBAM” as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on such date. If such rate does not appear on such page (or such other

 

35


page as may replace that page on that service, or if such service is no longer offered, such other service for displaying LIBOR or comparable rates as may be selected by the Indenture Trustee after consultation with the Depositor), the rate shall be the One Month Reference Bank Rate. The “One Month Reference Bank Rate” shall be determined on the basis of the rates at which deposits in U.S. dollars are offered by the reference banks (which shall be four major banks that are engaged in transactions in the London interbank market, selected by the Indenture Trustee after consultation with the Depositor) as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on the applicable LIBOR Determination Date to prime banks in the London interbank market for a period of one month commencing on such preceding Distribution Date in amounts approximately equal to the principal balance of the Series 2013-1 Notes. The Indenture Trustee shall request the principal London office of each of the reference banks to provide a quotation of its rate. If at least two such quotations are provided, the rate shall be the arithmetic mean of the quotations, rounded upwards to the nearest one-sixteenth of one percent. If on any such date fewer than two quotations are provided as requested, the rate shall be the arithmetic mean, rounded upwards to the nearest one-sixteenth of one percent, of the rates quoted by one or more major banks in New York, selected by the Indenture Trustee after consultation with the Depositor, as of 11:00 a.m., New York time, on such date to leading European banks for U.S. dollar deposits for a period of one month commencing on such applicable date in amounts approximately equal to the then outstanding principal balance of the Series 2013-1 Notes. If no such quotation can be obtained, the rate shall be LIBOR for the prior Distribution Date.

(b) On each LIBOR Determination Date, the Indenture Trustee shall send to the Servicer, the Issuing Entity and the Administrator by facsimile or email transmission, notification of LIBOR for the following Interest Period.

(c) The Servicer shall provide, in the Monthly Statement, the Class A-1 Note Interest Rate, the Class A-2 Note Interest Rate, the Class B Note Interest Rate, the Class C Note Interest Rate and the Class D Note Interest Rate applicable to each Distribution Date.

(d) Other than the determination of LIBOR as provided for herein, all other determinations and calculations provided for in this Indenture Supplement shall be made by the Servicer.

SECTION 4.13 Accumulation Period Reserve Account.

(a) If the Accumulation Period Reserve Account Required Amount is greater than zero ($0), the Servicer, for the benefit of the Noteholders, shall establish and maintain with the Indenture Trustee or its nominee in the name of the Indenture Trustee, on behalf of the Issuing Entity, an Eligible Deposit Account (including any subaccounts thereof) bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds and other property credited thereto are held for the benefit of the Noteholders (the “Accumulation Period Reserve Account”). The Indenture Trustee shall possess all right, title and interest in all Eligible Investments and all monies, cash, instruments, securities, securities entitlements, documents, certificates of deposit and other property from time to time on deposit in or credited to the Accumulation Period Reserve Account and in all Investment

Except as expressly provided in this Indenture Supplement and the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Servicer agrees that it has no right of setoff or banker’s lien against, and no right to otherwise deduct from, any funds and other property held in the Accumulation Period Reserve Account for any amount owed to it by the Indenture Trustee, the Issuing Entity, any Noteholder or any Series Enhancer. The Indenture Trustee, at the direction of the Servicer, shall make deposits and withdrawals from the Accumulation Period Reserve Account from time to time, in the amounts and for the purposes set forth in this Indenture Supplement.

(b) Funds on deposit in the Accumulation Period Reserve Account shall, at the written direction of the Servicer, be invested by the Indenture Trustee (including the Securities Intermediary) in Eligible Investments selected by the Servicer. All such Eligible Investments shall be held by the Indenture Trustee or its nominee for the benefit of the Noteholders. The Indenture Trustee shall cause each Eligible Investment to be delivered to it (including a securities intermediary) and shall be credited to the Accumulation Period Reserve Account. Funds on deposit in the Accumulation Period Reserve Account shall be invested in Eligible Investments. On each Distribution Date, all Investment Proceeds on deposit in the Accumulation Period Reserve Account shall be treated as Available Series Interest Collections with respect to the related Collection Period. The Indenture Trustee shall bear no responsibility or liability for any losses resulting from investment or reinvestment of any funds in accordance with this Section 4.13(b) nor for the selection of Eligible Investments in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture Supplement, the Indenture or the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement.

(c) On or before each Distribution Date with respect to the Controlled Accumulation Period and on or before the first Distribution Date with respect to the Early Amortization Period beginning after the commencement of the Controlled Accumulation Period, the Servicer shall calculate the Accumulation Period Reserve Draw Amount; provided, however, that such amount shall be reduced to the extent that funds otherwise would be available for deposit into the Accumulation Period Reserve Account pursuant to Sections 4.04(a)(xi) and Section 4.04(b)(i) on such Distribution Date. If for any Distribution Date, the Accumulation Period Reserve Draw Amount is greater than zero, the Accumulation Period Reserve Draw Amount, up to the Available Accumulation Period Reserve Account Amount, shall be withdrawn from the Accumulation Period Reserve Account on such Distribution Date by the Indenture Trustee (acting in accordance with the written instructions of the Servicer) and deposited into the Collection Account for application as Available Series Interest Collections.

(d) If on any Distribution Date, after giving effect to all withdrawals from and deposits to the Accumulation Period Reserve Account, the amount on deposit in the Accumulation Period Reserve Account exceeds the Accumulation Period Reserve Account Required Amount then in effect, the Indenture Trustee shall, at the written direction of the Servicer, distribute such excess to the Owner Trustee for distribution to the holders of the Certificate Interest in accordance with the Trust Agreement.

The Accumulation Period Reserve Account shall thereafter be deemed to have terminated for purposes of this Indenture Supplement.

SECTION 4.14 Transfer Restrictions.

(a) The Class E Notes (or interests therein) may not be acquired by or for the account of (i) a Benefit Plan other than an insurance company general account (as defined in Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption (“PTCE”) 95-60) whose underlying assets include less than 25% “plan assets” and for which the purchase and holding of the Class E Notes is eligible for and satisfied all conditions for relief under PTCE 95-60 or (ii) an employee benefit plan or plan that is not subject to the provisions of Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code if such acquisition would result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under, or a non-exempt violation of, any applicable law that is substantially similar to Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code. By accepting and holding a Class E Note (or interest therein), the Holder thereof and any related Note Owner shall each be deemed to have represented and warranted that it is not, nor is it acquiring the Note for the account of either, (i) a Benefit Plan other than an insurance company general account (as defined in Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption (“PTCE”) 95-60) whose underlying assets include less than 25% “plan assets” and for which the purchase and holding of the Class E Notes is eligible for and satisfied all conditions for relief under PTCE 95-60 or (ii) an employee benefit plan or plan that is not subject to the provisions of Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code if such acquisition would result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under, or a non-exempt violation of, any applicable law that is substantially similar to Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code. By accepting and holding a Class A Note, Class B Note, Class C Note or Class D Note (or interest therein), the Holder thereof and any related Note Owner shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that either (i) it is not, nor is it acquiring the Note for the account of, a Benefit Plan or any other plan that is subject to any law that is substantially similar to Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or (ii) the acquisition and holding of the Note will not give rise to a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or a non-exempt violation of substantially similar law. In addition, Benefit Plans may not acquire (i) a Class A Note, Class B Note, Class C Note, or Class D Note at any time that such Note would not be treated as indebtedness without substantial equity features, or (ii) a Class B Note, Class C Note or Class D Note at any time that the ratings on such Note are below investment grade. By accepting and holding a Class A Note, Class B Note, Class C Note or Class D Note (or interest therein), the Holder thereof and any related Note Owner shall each be deemed to have represented and warranted that its acquisition of such note is in compliance with the foregoing restriction.

(b) The Series 2013-1 Private Notes will not be registered under the Securities Act or the securities or blue sky laws of any other jurisdiction. Consequently, the Series 2013-1 Private Notes are not transferable other than pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and satisfaction of certain other provisions specified herein. No sale, pledge or other transfer of the Series 2013-1 Private Notes (or interest therein) may be made by any Person unless either (i) such sale, pledge or other transfer is made to or by the Depositor, (ii) so long as the Series 2013-1 Private Notes are eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act, such sale, pledge or other transfer is made to a person whom the transferor “reasonably believes” within the meaning of Rule 144A under the Securities Act is a “qualified institutional buyer” within the meaning of Rule 144A under the Securities Act (a “Qualified Institutional Buyer”) acting for its own account (and not for the account of others) or as a fiduciary or agent for others (which others also are Qualified Institutional Buyers) to whom notice is given that the sale, pledge or transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act, or (iii) such sale, pledge or other transfer is otherwise made in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, in which case (A) the Indenture Trustee shall require that both the prospective transferor and the prospective transferee certify to the Indenture Trustee and the Depositor in writing the facts surrounding such transfer, which certification shall be in form and substance satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee and the Depositor, and (B) the Indenture Trustee shall require a written opinion of counsel (which will not be at the expense of the Issuing Entity, the Seller, the Depositor, the Servicer or the Indenture Trustee) satisfactory to the Depositor and the Indenture Trustee to the effect that such transfer will not violate the Securities Act. Neither the Depositor nor the Indenture Trustee shall be obligated to register the Series 2013-1 Private Notes under the Securities Act, qualify the Series 2013-1 Private Notes under the securities laws of any state or provide registration rights to any purchaser or holder thereof.

(c) Transfer of a Class E Note may only be made to a Person who is a United States Person (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code). Any Person acquiring a Class E Note or an interest therein (i) shall not be deemed to have made the representations set forth in Section 2.14 of the Indenture and (ii) other than the Depositor shall not acquire or hold such Class E Note or interest therein in the form of a Book Entry Note.

(d) No sale, pledge or other transfer may be made to any one person of a Class E Note with a face amount of less than the amount determined in accordance with Section 1.01(E) hereof (in order to prevent the Issuing Entity from being treated as a “publicly traded partnership” under Section 7704 of the Code), and, in the case of any Person acting on behalf of one or more third parties (other than a bank (as defined in Section 3(a)(2) of the Securities Act) acting in its fiduciary capacity), for a Class E Note with a face amount of less than such amount for each such third party. Any attempted transfer in contravention of the immediately preceding restriction will be void ab initio and the purported transferor will continue to be treated as the owner of the Class E Notes for all purposes. No Class E Note may be transferred unless the transferor provides to the Indenture Trustee an opinion of independent counsel that the transfer will not cause the Issuing Entity to be treated as an association (or publicly traded partnership) taxable as a corporation for federal income tax purposes.

 

39


(e) (i) A sale, pledge, or transfer of a Class B Note, Class C Note or Class D Note may only be made to a Person who is a United State Person (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code). A Person other than the Depositor acquiring a Class B Note, Class C Note or Class D Note or an interest therein shall be deemed to have made the representations set forth in Section 2.14 of the Indenture; and (ii) no sale, pledge, or transfer of a Class B Note, Class C Note or Class D Note shall be made (x) to any one person with a face amount of less than 100% of the Class B Note Principal Balance, Class C Note Principal Balance or Class D Note Principal Balance, as applicable, or (y) to a Special Pass-Through Entity, in each case, unless (A) an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee and the Depositor that such sale, pledge, or transfer shall not cause the Issuing Entity to be treated as an association (or publicly traded partnership) taxable as a corporation for federal income tax purposes shall have been delivered to the Indenture Trustee and the Depositor and (B) the Depositor shall have provided prior written approval; provided, however, that the restrictions in this Section 4.14(e) shall not apply in the event counsel satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee and the Depositor has rendered an opinion to the effect that the Class B Note, Class C Note or Class D Note to be sold, pledged, or transferred will be characterized as indebtedness for federal income tax purposes. Any attempted transfer in contravention of this Section 4.14(e) will be void ab initio and the purported transferor will continue to be treated as the owner of, as applicable, the Class B Note, Class C Note or Class D Note for all purposes.

SECTION 4.15 Note Defeasance Account.

40


Eligible Investment to be delivered to it (including a securities intermediary) and shall be credited to the Note Defeasance Account. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Indenture, the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to receive all Investment Proceeds on the Note Defeasance Account when and as paid without any obligation to the Owner Trustee, the Servicer or the Depositor in respect thereof. The Indenture Trustee will have no obligation to deposit any such amount in any account established hereunder or the Indenture.

(e) All monies deposited with the Indenture Trustee in the Note Defeasance Account pursuant to this Indenture Supplement shall be held in trust in a segregated trust account and (except for Investment Proceeds thereon) applied by the Indenture Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of the Series 2013-1 Notes and this Indenture Supplement, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent, as the Indenture Trustee may determine, to the Holders of Series 2013-1 Notes for payment on or redemption of the Series 2013-1 Notes, and no amounts so withdrawn from the Note Defeasance Account for payments of Notes shall be paid over to the Issuing Entity.

(c) If the Series 2013-1 Notes shall have been accelerated following an Event of Default, the Indenture Trustee may exercise the remedies available to it as set forth in Article V the Indenture.

EXHIBIT A

FORM OF CLASS [A-1][A-2][B][C][D][E] NOTE

[Unless this Class [A-1][A-2] Note is presented by an authorized representative of The Depository Trust Company, a New York corporation (“DTC”), to the Issuing Entity or its agent for registration of transfer, exchange or payment, and any Note issued is registered in the name of Cede & Co. or in such other name as is requested by an authorized representative of DTC (and any payment is made to Cede & Co. or to such other entity as is requested by an authorized representative of DTC) ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL inasmuch as the registered owner hereof, Cede & Co., has an interest herein.]

[This Class [B][C][D][E] Note has not and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or under the securities or blue sky laws of any State in the United States or any foreign securities laws. By its acceptance of this Class [B][C][D][E] Note (or interest therein), the Holder of this Class [B][C][D][E] Note (or such interest), if other than the Depositor, is deemed to represent and warrant to the Depositor and the Indenture Trustee that it is a “Qualified Institutional Buyer” as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act and is acquiring this Class [B][C][D][E] Note (or interest therein) for its own account (and not for the account of others) or as a fiduciary or agent for others (which others also are Qualified Institutional Buyers) or has otherwise acquired an interest in the Class [B][C][D][E] Note in a transaction that is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.]

[No sale, pledge or other transfer of this Class [B][C][D][E] Note (or interest therein) may be made by any Person unless either (i) such sale, pledge or other transfer is made by or to the Depositor, (ii) at the time of such sale, pledge or other transfer, (A) this Class [B][C][D][E] Note is eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act, and such sale, pledge or other transfer is made to a person whom the transferor “reasonably believes” within the meaning of Rule 144A under the Securities Act is a “qualified institutional buyer” within the meaning of Rule 144A under the Securities Act (a “Qualified Institutional Buyer”) acting for its own account or the accounts of other Qualified Institutional Buyers, and (B) the transferee is aware that the transferor of this Class [B][C][D][E] Note intends to rely on the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act provided by Rule 144A under the Securities Act, or (iii) such sale, pledge or other transfer is otherwise made in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, in which case (A) the Indenture Trustee shall require that both the prospective transferor and the prospective transferee certify to the Indenture Trustee and the Depositor in writing the facts surrounding such transfer, which certification shall be in form and substance satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee and the Depositor, and (B) the Indenture Trustee shall require a written opinion of

 

Ex. A-1


counsel (which will not be at the expense of the Seller, the Depositor, the Administrator, the Issuing Entity, the Servicer or the Indenture Trustee) satisfactory to the Depositor and the Indenture Trustee to the effect that such transfer will not violate the Securities Act and satisfaction of certain other provisions specified herein.]

Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of this Note (or interest therein), hereby covenant and agree that by accepting the benefits of the Indenture such Noteholder or Note Owner shall not, prior to the date which is one year and one day after the termination of the Indenture with respect to the Issuing Entity and, with respect to the Depositor, the Securities issued by each other trust formed by and each other financing by the Depositor, acquiesce, petition or otherwise invoke or cause the Depositor or the Issuing Entity to invoke the process of any court or government authority for the purpose of commencing or sustaining a case against the Depositor or the Issuing Entity under any Insolvency Law or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other similar official of the Depositor or the Issuing Entity or any substantial part of the property of either of them, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of the affairs of the Depositor or the Issuing Entity.

Each Noteholder, by acceptance of this Note (or interest therein), covenants and agrees that no recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuing Entity, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee on the Notes or under the Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith or therewith, against:

(i) the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity;

(ii) the Depositor or any other owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuing Entity; or

(iii) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer, director or employee of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, any holder of a beneficial interest in the Issuing Entity, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee or of any successor or assign of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, except as any such Person may have expressly agreed (it being understood that the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee have no such obligations in their individual capacity) and except that any such partner, owner or beneficiary shall be fully liable, to the extent provided by applicable law, for any unpaid consideration for stock, unpaid capital contribution or failure to pay any installment or call owing to such entity.

 

Ex. A-2


Except as expressly provided in the Basic Documents, none of the Seller, the Depositor, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee nor the Owner Trustee in their respective individual capacities, any owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuing Entity, nor any of their respective partners, owners, beneficiaries, agents, officers, directors, employees or successors or assigns, shall be personally liable for, nor shall recourse be had to any of them for, the payment of principal of [or interest on], or performance of, or omission to perform, any of the covenants, obligations or indemnifications contained in this Note or the Indenture, it being expressly understood that said covenants, obligations and indemnifications have been made solely by the Issuing Entity. Each Noteholder by accepting this Note (or any interest therein) acknowledges that such Noteholder’s Note (or interest therein) represents beneficial interests in the Issuing Entity only and does not represent interests in or obligations of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Administrator, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or any Affiliate thereof (other than the Issuing Entity) and no recourse, either directly or indirectly, may be had against such parties or their assets, except as may be expressly set forth or contemplated in the Basic Documents. Each Noteholder by the acceptance of a Note (or beneficial interest therein) agrees that except as expressly provided in the Basic Documents, in the event of nonpayment of any amounts with respect to the Notes, it shall have no claim against any of Depositor, the Servicer, the Administrator, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or any Affiliate for any deficiency, loss or claim therefrom; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be taken to prevent recourse to, and enforcement against, the assets of the Issuing Entity for any and all liabilities, obligations and undertakings contained in the Indenture or in the Notes.

If any of the foregoing covenants of a Noteholder is prohibited by, or declared illegal or otherwise unenforceable against or with respect to any Noteholder under applicable law by any court or other authority of competent jurisdiction, and, as a result, a Noteholder is deemed to have an interest in any assets of the Depositor or any Affiliate of the Depositor other than the Issuing Entity (“other assets”), each Noteholder or Note Owner by the acceptance of this Note (or beneficial interest therein), agrees that (i) its claim against any such other assets shall be, and hereby is, subject and subordinate in all respects to the rights of other Persons to whom rights in the other assets have been expressly granted (“entitled Persons”), including to the payment in full of all amounts owing to such entitled Persons, and (ii) the covenant set forth in the preceding clause (i) constitutes a “subordination agreement” within the meaning of, and subject to, Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code.

[The holder of this Note, by acceptance of this Note, and each holder of a beneficial interest therein, unless otherwise required by the appropriate taxing authorities, agree to treat this Note as indebtedness of the Issuing Entity for applicable United States federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes and any other taxes imposed upon, measured by or based upon gross or net income.]

[Any holder of this Class [A-1][A-2][B][C][D] Note, by its acceptance of this Class [A-1][A-2][B][C][D] Note, shall be deemed to have represented that either (a) it is not acquiring the Class [A-1][A-2][B][C][D] Note with the assets of (i) an employee benefit plan (as defined in Section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act

 

Ex. A-3


of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”)) that is subject to the provisions of Title I of ERISA, (ii) a plan described in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) which is subject to Section 4975 of the Code, (iii) an entity whose underlying assets are treated under regulations issued by the U.S. Department of Labor, as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA, to include plan assets by reason of investment by an employee benefit plan or a plan in such entity or (iv) any other plan that is subject to any law that is substantially similar to Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code; or (b) the acquisition and holding of the Class [A-1][A-2][B][C][D] Note will not give rise to a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or a non-exempt violation of any substantially similar applicable law. Employee benefit plans subject to the provisions of Title I of ERISA, plans subject to Section 4975 of the Code and entities whose underlying assets include plan assets by reason of an employee benefit plan’s or plan’s investment in such entity may not acquire this Class [A-1][A-2][B][C][D] Note at any time that this Class [A-1][A-2][B][C][D] Note would not be treated as indebtedness without substantial equity features [or the ratings on this Class [B][C][D] Note are below investment grade].

ALLY MASTER OWNER TRUST

SERIES 2013-1 [[FLOATING][FIXED] RATE ASSET BACKED][ASSET BACKED

EQUITY] NOTE, CLASS [A-1][A-2][B][C][D][E]

Summary of Terms and Conditions

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Issuing Entity, designated as the Series 2013-1 [[Fixed][Floating] Rate] Asset Backed Notes (the “Notes”), issued under the Indenture, dated as of February 12, 2010 (the “Indenture”), between the Issuing Entity and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as indenture trustee (the “Indenture Trustee”), as supplemented by the Series 2013-1 Indenture Supplement, dated as of February 21, 2013 (the “Indenture Supplement” and, together with the Indenture, the “Series Agreement”), and representing the right to receive certain payments from the Issuing Entity. The Notes are subject to all of the terms of the Series Agreement. All terms used in this Note that are defined in the Series Agreement have the meanings assigned to them in or pursuant to the Series Agreement. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the Series Agreement and this Note, the Series Agreement controls.

The [Class A-1 Notes, the Class A-2 Notes, the Class B Notes, the Class C Notes, the Class D Notes and the Class E Note] with initial principal amounts of $[ ], $[ ], $[ ], $[ ], and $[ ], respectively, shall also be issued under the Series Agreement. [The rights of the holders of the [Class A-1 Notes, the Class A-2 Notes, the Class B Notes, the Class C Notes, and the Class D Notes] to receive payments on [the Class A-1 Notes, the Class A-2 Notes, the Class B Notes, the Class C Notes and the Class D Notes] are senior to the rights of the holders of the Class [B][C][D][E] Notes to receive payments as specified in the Series Agreement.] [The rights of the holders of [the Class B Notes, the Class C Notes, the Class D Notes, and the Class E Notes] to receive payments on [the Class B Notes, the Class C Notes, the Class D Notes and the Class E Notes] are subordinate to the rights of the holders of the Class [A-1][A-2][B][C][D] Notes to receive payments as specified in the Series Agreement.]

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

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

 

Ex. A-8


The Class [A-1][A-2][B][C][D][E] Note Initial Principal Balance is $[            ]. The Class [A-1][A-2][B][C][D][E] Note Principal Balance on any date of determination shall be an amount equal to the Class [A-1][A-2][B][C][D][E] Note Initial Principal Balance minus the aggregate amount of any principal payments made to the Class [A-1][A-2][B][C][D][E] Noteholders before such date.

The Series 2013-1 Expected Maturity Date is the February 2016 Distribution Date, but principal with respect to the Class [A-1][A-2][B][C][D][E] Notes may be paid earlier or later under certain circumstances described in the Series Agreement. If for one or more months during the Controlled Accumulation Period there are not sufficient funds to deposit the Controlled Deposit Amount into the Note Distribution Account or, to the extent permitted by the Indenture Supplement, the Note Defeasance Account, then to the extent that excess funds are not available on subsequent Distribution Dates with respect to the Controlled Accumulation Period to make up for such shortfalls, the final payment of principal of the Notes shall occur later than the Series 2013-1 Expected Maturity Date. Payments of principal of the Notes shall be payable in accordance with the provisions of the Series Agreement.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Series Agreement, the Depositor may, from time to time, direct the Owner Trustee, on behalf of the Issuing Entity, to issue one or more new Series of notes.

On each Distribution Date, the Indenture Trustee shall distribute to each Class [A-1][A-2][B][C][D][E] Noteholder of record on the related Record Date (except for the final distribution in respect of this Note) such Class [A-1][A-2][B][C][D][E] Noteholder’s pro rata share of the amounts held by the Indenture Trustee that are allocated and available on such Distribution Date to pay [interest and] principal on the Class [A-1][A-2][B][C][D][E] Notes pursuant to the Indenture Supplement. Except as provided in the Series Agreement with respect to a final distribution, distributions to the Noteholders shall be made by (a) wire transfer (to the account specified by the applicable Noteholder) or check mailed to the applicable Noteholder (at such Noteholder’s address as it appears in the Note Register), except that with respect to any Notes registered in the name of the nominee of a Clearing Agency, such distribution shall be made in immediately available funds and (b) without presentation or surrender of any Note or the making of any notation thereon. Final payment of this Note shall be made only upon presentation and surrender of this Note at the office or agency specified in the notice of final distribution delivered by the Indenture Trustee to the Noteholders in accordance with the Series Agreement.

On any day occurring on or after the date on which the Note Principal Balance is reduced to 10% or less of the Initial Note Principal Balance, the Servicer (if Ally Financial or an Affiliate of Ally Financial is the Servicer) shall have the option to redeem the Notes, at a purchase price equal to (a) if such day is a Distribution Date, the Reassignment Amount for such Distribution Date or (b) if such day is not a Distribution Date, the Reassignment Amount for the Distribution Date following such day.

The Issuing Entity is permitted by the Indenture, under certain circumstances, to merge or consolidate subject to the rights of the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders.

[Except as otherwise provided in the Indenture Supplement, the Class [A-1][A-2][B][C][D] Notes are issuable only in minimum denominations of $100,000 and integral multiples of $1,000.][Except as otherwise provided in the Indenture Supplement, the Class E Notes are issuable only in a minimum denomination of 100% of the Class E Note Principal Balance] The transfer of this Note shall be registered in the Note Register upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at any office or agency maintained by the Transfer Agent and Registrar accompanied by a written instrument of transfer, in a form satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee or the Transfer Agent and Registrar, duly executed by the Noteholder or such Noteholder’s attorney, and duly authorized in writing with such signature guaranteed, and thereupon one or more new Class [A-1][A-2][B][C][D][E] Notes in any authorized denominations of like aggregate principal amount shall be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

As provided in the Series Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Class [A-1][A-2][B][C][D][E] Notes are exchangeable for new Class [A-1][A-2][B][C][D][E] Notes in any authorized denominations and of like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of such Notes to be exchanged at the office or agency of the Transfer Agent and Registrar. No service charge may be imposed for any such exchange but the Issuing Entity or Transfer Agent and Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith.
