No service charge will be charged for any registration of transfer or exchange of this Note, but the transferor may be required to pay a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any such registration of transfer or exchange.

It is the intent of the Co-Issuers and each Series 2021-1 Class A-2-I Noteholder that, for federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes only, the Series 2021-1 Class A-2-I Notes will evidence indebtedness of the Co-Issuers secured by the Collateral.

Any such consent or waiver of this Note (or any one or more predecessor Notes) shall be conclusive and binding upon such Series 2021-1 Class A-2-I Noteholder and upon all future Series 2021-1 Class A-2-I Noteholders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.

Each purchaser or transferee of this Note (or any interest herein) shall be deemed to represent and warrant that either (i) it is not acquiring or holding this Note (or any interest herein) for or on behalf of, or with the assets of, any plan, account or other arrangement that is subject to Title I of ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code, entities whose underlying assets are considered to include “plan assets” of such plans, accounts and arrangements under DOL regulations, as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA (collectively, “ERISA Plans”) or with the assets or any plan, account or other arrangement that is
