Hyundai Capital America (“HCA”) intends to retain, through the Depositor, the Certificates which together with the eligible horizontal cash reserve account constitutes at least 5% of the fair value of all of the Notes and the Certificates, pursuant to the requirements of the final rules contained in Regulation RR, 17 C.F.R. §246.1, et seq . (the “Credit Risk Retention Rules”), implementing the credit risk retention requirements of Section 15G of the Exchange Act. The Notes will be issued pursuant to an Indenture, to be dated as of the Closing Date (the “Indenture”), between the Trust and Citibank, N.A., a national banking association, as indenture trustee (the “Indenture Trustee”). The assets of the Trust will include, among other things, a pool of retail installment sale contracts acquired by HCA and sold to the Trust on the Closing Date (the “Receivables”) secured by new and used automobiles, light-duty trucks and minivans and financed thereby (the “Vehicles”), certain monies received thereunder after the close of business on May 5, 2026 (the “Cutoff Date”) and the other property and the proceeds thereof to be conveyed to the Trust pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement to be dated as of the Closing Date (the “Sale and Servicing Agreement”) among the Trust, HCA, as seller and servicer, the Depositor and the Indenture Trustee. Pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Depositor will sell the Receivables to the Trust and HCA will service the Receivables on behalf of the Trust. In addition, pursuant to the Owner Trust Administration Agreement to be dated as of the Closing Date (the “Administration Agreement”) among the Trust, HCA and the Indenture Trustee, HCA will agree to perform certain administrative tasks on behalf of the Trust. The Depositor formed the Trust pursuant to a trust agreement, and it will be governed by an Amended and Restated Trust Agreement (the “Trust Agreement”) to be dated as of the Closing Date among the Depositor, HCA and U.S. Bank Trust National Association, a national banking association, as owner trustee (the “Owner Trustee”). The owner trust certificates (the “Certificates”), representing a fractional undivided interest in the Trust, will be issued to the Depositor pursuant to the Trust Agreement. The Depositor will acquire the Receivables from HCA pursuant to the terms of the Receivables Purchase Agreement (the “Receivables Purchase Agreement”) to be dated as of the Closing Date between the Depositor and HCA. HCA has acquired the Receivables from franchised dealers (the “Dealers”) pursuant to certain dealer retail agreements between each Dealer and HCA (collectively, the “Dealer Retail Agreements”). The Trust will provide for the review of certain of the Receivables for compliance with the representations and warranties made about them in certain circumstances under an Asset Representations Review Agreement to be dated as of the Closing Date (the “Asset Representations Review Agreement”) among the Trust, HCA and Clayton Fixed Income Services LLC, as asset representations reviewer (the “Asset Representations Reviewer”). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Underwriting Agreement (this “Agreement”) shall have the meanings set forth in the Sale and Servicing Agreement or if not defined therein, then as defined in the Prospectus (as defined below). As used herein, the term “Transaction Documents” refers to the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Indenture, the Notes, the Trust Agreement, the Receivables Purchase Agreement, the Asset Representations Review Agreement and the Administration Agreement. At or prior to the date when sales to purchasers of the Underwritten Notes were first made to investors by the Underwriters, which was June 9, 2026 (the “Applicable Date”), the Seller had prepared (i) the Preliminary Prospectus dated June 4, 2026 (the “Preliminary Prospectus”) and (ii) the Free Writing Prospectus dated June 4, 2026 relating to the ratings on the Notes (the “Ratings Free Writing Prospectus” and together with the Preliminary Prospectus and written communications constituting a bona fide electronic road show within the meaning of Rule 433(h) under the Securities Act (the “Road Show Materials”), collectively, the “Time of Sale Information”). If, subsequent to the Applicable Date and prior to the Closing Date, such Time of Sale Information included an untrue statement of material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and the Underwriters terminate their old “Contracts of Sale” (within the meaning of Rule 159 under the Securities Act) and enter into new Contracts of Sale with investors in the Underwritten Notes, then the “Time of Sale Information” will refer to the information conveyed to investors at the time of entry into such new Contract of Sale, in an amended Preliminary Prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus approved by the Depositor and the Representative that corrects such material misstatements or omissions (a “Corrected Prospectus”) and “Applicable Date” will refer to the time and date on which such new Contracts of Sale were entered into. SECTION 2. Representations and Warranties . (a) As a condition of the several obligations of the Underwriters to purchase the Underwritten Notes, each of the Depositor and HCA makes the representations and warranties set forth below to the Representative and each of the Underwriters on and as of the date hereof. To the extent a representation or warranty specifically relates to the Depositor, such representation or warranty is made by the Depositor and HCA jointly, and to the extent a representation or warranty specifically relates solely to HCA, such representation or warranty is only made by HCA and not by the Depositor. - 2 - (i) The registration statement on Form SF-3 (No. 333-284087), including the exhibits thereto, has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) for registration under the Securities Act, which registration statement has been declared effective by the Commission within the three years prior to the Closing Date and is still effective as of the date hereof. Such registration statement, including the exhibits thereto, as amended to the date hereof, is hereinafter called the “Registration Statement.” A form of prospectus is included in the Registration Statement filed with the Commission. A final prospectus, dated June 9, 2026 relating to the Notes (the “Prospectus”), will be filed with the Commission in connection with the offering and sale of the Underwritten Notes pursuant to and in accordance with Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act (“Rule 424(b)”) within the time period required thereby. Any reference herein to the terms “amend,” “amendment” or “supplement” with respect to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, shall be deemed to refer to and include the filing of any document under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) or the filing date of the Prospectus deemed to be incorporated therein by reference pursuant to Item 14 of Form SF-3 under the Securities Act. (ii) Reserved. (iii) The Registration Statement as of the applicable effective date as to each part thereof pursuant to Rule 430D(f)(2) and any amendment thereto of the Securities Act (the “Effective Date”), the Preliminary Prospectus, as of the date of the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus, as of the date of the Prospectus, complied in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder (the “Rules and Regulations”); and the information in the Registration Statement, as of the Effective Date, will conform in all material respects to the requirements of the Securities Act and the Rules and Regulations and did not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; the Preliminary Prospectus, as of the date of the Preliminary Prospectus, as of the Applicable Date, and as of the Closing Date, will conform in all material respects to the requirements of the Securities Act and the Rules and Regulations; and the Prospectus, and any amendments thereof and supplements thereto, as of the date of the Prospectus and as of the Closing Date, will conform in all material respects to the requirements of the Securities Act and the Rules and Regulations and will not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading; provided, however, that neither HCA nor the Depositor makes any representations or warranties as to (i) that part of the Registration Statement which constitutes the Statement of Qualification under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “Trust Indenture Act”) on Form T-1 (the “Form T-1”) of the Indenture Trustee (which will be represented and warranted to by the Indenture Trustee) and (ii) the information contained in or omitted from such Registration Statement or such Prospectus (or any supplement thereto) in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to HCA by or on behalf of the Underwriters specifically for use in the preparation thereof which information consists solely of the information set forth in the chart following the first paragraph, the third paragraph, the selling concession and reallowance chart at the end of the third paragraph, the fourth paragraph and the fifth paragraph under the heading “Underwriting” in the Prospectus (the “Underwriters’ Information”). - 3 - (iv) The Time of Sale Information, at the Applicable Date, did not, and at the Closing Date will not, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided that neither HCA nor the Depositor makes any representation or warranty with respect to any statements or omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity with the Underwriters’ Information. (v) The Ratings Free Writing Prospectus has been filed with the Commission (to the extent required by Rule 433 under the Securities Act). (vi) Since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Preliminary Prospectus and in the Prospectus there has not been any material adverse change, or, to the best of our knowledge, any development involving a prospective material adverse change, in or affecting the condition, financial or otherwise, earnings, business or operations of any of HCA or its subsidiaries, including the Depositor and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, except as disclosed to the Representative in writing prior to the date hereof.

In making such representation, the Trust relies on one or more of the exclusions or exemptions from the definition of “investment company” contained in Section 3(c)(5) of the Investment Company Act or Rule 3a-7 under the Investment Company Act, although there may be additional exclusions or exemptions on which the Trust may rely. The Trust is being structured so as not to constitute a “covered fund” for purposes of the regulations adopted to implement Section 619 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (such statutory provision together with such implementing regulations, the “Volcker Rule”). (x) The issuance of the Notes and the sale of the Underwritten Notes have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of the Depositor and, when executed, authenticated and delivered to and paid for by the Underwriters in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Indenture, the Underwritten Notes will be valid and binding obligations of the Trust, enforceable in accordance with their terms, except to the extent that the enforceability thereof may be subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, conservatorship, moratorium or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to creditors’ rights in general and to general principles of equity. - 4 - (xi) Each of the Depositor and HCA has been duly incorporated and is validly existing as a limited liability company or corporation, as applicable, in good standing under the law of its jurisdiction of formation or incorporation, as applicable, with full corporate power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and assets and conduct its business as described in the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus, is duly qualified to transact business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which its ownership, leasing or operation of its properties or assets or the conduct of its business requires such qualification, except where the failure to be in good standing would not have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Depositor or HCA to perform its respective obligations under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents or on the consummation of the transactions as contemplated by the Transaction Documents, and has full corporate power and authority to execute and perform its obligations under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents to which it is a party. (xii) The execution and delivery of this Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of the Depositor and HCA, and this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Depositor and HCA and when duly executed and delivered by the other parties hereto will be the legal, valid and binding agreement of the Depositor and HCA, enforceable against the Depositor and HCA in accordance with its terms, except to the extent that the enforceability thereof may be subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, conservatorship, moratorium or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to creditors’ rights in general and to general principles of equity. (xiii) The execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of the Depositor or HCA, as applicable, and, when duly executed and delivered by the Depositor and HCA (assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the other parties thereto), will be legal, valid and binding agreements of the Depositor and HCA, enforceable against the Depositor or HCA in accordance with their respective terms, except to the extent that the enforceability thereof may be subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, conservatorship, moratorium or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to creditors’ rights in general and to general principles of equity. (xiv) The execution, delivery and performance by each of the Depositor and HCA of this Agreement and each of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party, the issuance of the Notes and the sale of the Underwritten Notes pursuant to this Agreement (subject to obtaining any consents or approvals as may be required under the securities or “blue sky” laws to various jurisdictions), and the consummation of the other transactions herein contemplated do not: (1) require the consent, approval, authorization, registration or qualification of or with any governmental authority, except consents or filings that have been obtained or made or as may be required under the securities or “blue sky” laws of various jurisdictions, - 5 - (2) conflict with or result in a breach or violation or acceleration of, or constitute a default under, any of their respective organizational documents, indentures, mortgages, deeds of trust, leases or other agreements or instruments to which any of them is a party or by which any of them or their properties is bound, (3) result in a violation of or contravene the terms of any statute, governmental order or regulation applicable to any of them, or (4) result in the creation of any lien upon any of their respective properties or assets (other than pursuant to the Transaction Documents), except where any failure to obtain consent or make any filing or any such conflict, breach, default, violation, contravention or creation would not have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Depositor or HCA to perform its respective obligations under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents, as applicable, or on the consummation of the transactions as contemplated by the Transaction Documents. (xv) None of the Depositor or HCA is in violation of any term or provision of its charter documents or by-laws, or in breach of or in default under any statute or any judgment, decree, order, rule or regulation of any court or other governmental authority or any arbitrator applicable to the Depositor or HCA, the consequence of which violation, breach or default would have (a) a material adverse effect on or constitute a material adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise), earnings, properties, business affairs, net worth or results of operations of the Depositor or HCA or (b) a material and adverse effect on its ability to perform its respective obligations under this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents, in each case, to which it is a party. (xvi) None of the Depositor, HCA or anyone acting on their behalf has taken any action that would require registration of the Depositor or the Trust under the Investment Company Act; nor will the Depositor nor HCA act, nor has either of them authorized nor will either of them authorize any person to act, in such manner. (xvii) Each of the Depositor and HCA possesses all consents, licenses, certificates, authorizations and permits issued by the appropriate federal, state or foreign regulatory authorities necessary to conduct their respective businesses, the absence of which would have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Depositor and HCA to perform its respective obligations under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents or on the consummation of the transactions as contemplated by the Transaction Documents, and neither the Depositor nor HCA has received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or modification of any such license, certificate, authorization or permit which, singly or in the aggregate, if the subject of an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding, would have a materially adverse effect on or constitute a materially adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise), earnings, properties, business affairs, net worth or results of operations of the Depositor or HCA, except as described in or contemplated by the Prospectus. (xviii) No legal or governmental proceedings are pending (or, to the knowledge of HCA, threatened) against the Depositor or HCA except for such proceedings that would not, if the subject of any unfavorable decision, ruling or finding, singly or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the condition (financial or otherwise), earnings, properties, business affairs, net worth or results of operations of the Depositor or HCA or the Depositor’s or HCA’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement or the Transaction Documents or on the consummation of the transactions as contemplated by the Transaction Documents. - 6 - (xix) No default exists, and no event has occurred which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a default in the due performance and observance of any term, covenant or condition of any material indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, lease or other material agreement or instrument to which the Depositor or HCA is a party or by which the Depositor or HCA or any of its respective properties is bound. (xx) The Notes and the Transaction Documents conform in all material respects to the descriptions thereof contained in the Preliminary Prospectus and in the Prospectus. (xxi) Each of the Depositor’s and HCA’s representations and warranties in the Transaction Documents are true and correct as of the date they are given therein and will be true and correct on the Closing Date, and such representations and warranties are incorporated herein by reference. (xxii) Other than as contemplated by this Agreement or as disclosed in the Preliminary Prospectus and in the Prospectus, there is no broker, finder or other party that is entitled to receive from the Depositor or any of its Affiliates or the Underwriters, any brokerage or finder’s fee or other fee or commission as a result of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. (xxiii) None of the Depositor, HCA or any of their Affiliates has entered into, nor will it enter into, any contractual arrangement with respect to the distribution of the Underwritten Notes except for this Agreement. (xxiv) Assuming that the Underwritten Notes are issued in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture and distributed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and as described in the Prospectus, the Underwritten Notes are “asset-backed securities” within the meaning of, and satisfy the requirements for use of, Form SF-3 under the Securities Act. (xxv) The Underwritten Notes, when duly and validly executed by the Indenture Trustee, authenticated and delivered in accordance with the Indenture, and delivered and paid for pursuant hereto will be validly issued and outstanding and entitled to the benefits of the Indenture. (xxvi) The Certificates, when duly and validly executed by the Owner Trustee, authenticated and delivered in accordance with the Trust Agreement, will be validly issued and outstanding and entitled to the benefits of the Trust Agreement. (xxvii) Any taxes, fees and other governmental charges due on or prior to the Closing Date (including, without limitation, sales taxes) in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents and the issuance of the Notes have been or will have been paid at or prior to the Closing Date. - 7 - (xxviii) None of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including, without limitation, the use of the proceeds from the sale of the Underwritten Notes) will violate or result in a violation of Section 7 of the Exchange Act, or any regulation promulgated thereunder, including, without limitation, Regulations T, U, and X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. (xxix) As of the Applicable Date, the Depositor was not and as of the Closing Date will not be, an “ineligible issuer,” as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act. (xxx) The Depositor has filed the Preliminary Prospectus and the Ratings Free Writing Prospectus as required under the Securities Act and the Rules and Regulations and it has done so within the applicable periods of time required under the Securities Act and the Rules and Regulations. (xxxi) HCA has executed and delivered a written representation to each Rating Agency that it will take the actions specified in paragraphs (a)(3)(iii)(A) through (E) of Rule 17g-5 of the Exchange Act (“Rule 17g-5”), and it has complied with each such representation; provided that no failure to comply with any such representation shall constitute a breach of this clause (xxxi) if it (i) would not have a material adverse effect on the Underwritten Notes or (ii) arises from a breach by any Underwriter of Section 6(i) hereof. (xxxii) The Seller has complied with Rule 193 of the Securities Act in connection with the offering of the Underwritten Notes. (xxxiii) Neither HCA nor the Depositor has engaged any third-party to provide “due diligence services” (as defined in Rule 17g-10 under the Exchange Act) other than KPMG LLP, and the only report generated as a result of such engagement is the Independent Accountants’ Report on Applying Agreed-Upon Procedures, dated May 28, 2026 (the “KPMG Report”), a copy of which has been made available to the Representative. The KPMG Report is, as among the parties to this Agreement, deemed to have been obtained by HCA pursuant to Rule 15Ga-2 and Rule 17g-10 of the Exchange Act. HCA or the Depositor has complied with Rule 15Ga-2 under the Exchange Act with respect to any reports generated as a result of any engagement pursuant to Rules 15Ga-2 and 17g-10 under the Exchange Act, other than any breach arising from a breach by any Underwriter of the representation, warranty and covenant set forth in Section 6(f)(v) of this Agreement. (xxxiv) HCA has complied and as of the Closing Date will comply, and is the appropriate entity to comply, with all requirements imposed on the “sponsor of a securitization transaction” in accordance with the final rules contained in the Credit Risk Retention Rules, directly or (to the extent permitted by the Credit Risk Retention Rules) through a majority-owned affiliate (as defined in the Credit Risk Retention Rules, a “Majority-Owned Affiliate”). HCA or one or more of HCA’s Majority-Owned Affiliates will hold an “eligible horizontal residual interest” and will cause to be established an “eligible horizontal cash reserve account” (each as defined in the Credit Risk Retention Rules). HCA determined the fair value of the “eligible horizontal residual interest” (such interest, the “Retained Interest”) disclosed in the Prospectus under the heading “ Credit Risk Retention ”, and will determine and disclose the fair value of the Retained Interest as of the Closing Date as required by Rule 4(c)(1)(ii) of the Credit Risk Retention Rules. HCA has determined, and as of the Closing Date will determine, the fair value of the Retained Interest based on its own valuation methodology, inputs and assumptions and is solely responsible therefor. - 8 - (b) The above representations and warranties shall be deemed to be repeated in their entirety at and as of the Closing Date. (c) Each Underwriter hereby makes the representations and agrees to the statements contained in Annex A hereto. SECTION 3. Purchase, Sale and Delivery of the Underwritten Notes . (a) On the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements herein contained, but subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Depositor agrees to cause the Trust to sell to each Underwriter, and each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase from the Trust the respective principal amount of the Underwritten Notes set forth opposite the name of such Underwriter on Schedule I, at a purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) equal to “Price $” as specified on Schedule II hereto. Delivery of and payment for the Underwritten Notes shall be made at the offices of Mayer Brown LLP, 71 South Wacker Drive, Chicago, Illinois 60606 at or about 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on June 17, 2026 (or at such other place and time on the same or other date as shall be agreed to in writing by the Representative and the Depositor, the “Closing Date”). Delivery of one or more global notes representing the Underwritten Notes shall be made against payment of the aggregate purchase price in immediately available funds drawn to the order of the Depositor. The global notes to be so delivered shall be registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”). The interests of beneficial owners of the Underwritten Notes will be represented by book entries on the records of DTC and participating members thereof. Definitive notes representing the Underwritten Notes will be available only under limited circumstances, as described in the Prospectus. (b) The Depositor hereby acknowledges that the payment of monies pursuant to Section 3(a) hereof (a “Payment”) by or on behalf of the Underwriters of the aggregate Purchase Price for the Underwritten Notes does not constitute closing of a purchase and sale of the Underwritten Notes. Only the execution and delivery, by facsimile or otherwise, of a receipt for Notes by the Representative prior to the cut-off time for DTC settlement on the Closing Date, indicates completion of the closing of a purchase of the Underwritten Notes from the Trust. Furthermore, in the event that the Underwriters make a Payment to the Trust prior to the completion of the closing of a purchase of Underwritten Notes, the Depositor hereby acknowledges that until the Representative executes and delivers such receipt for the Underwritten Notes and until all Permitted Liens have been released prior to the cut-off time for DTC settlement on the Closing Date, the Trust will not be entitled to the Payment and the Depositor shall cause the Trust to return the Payment to the Underwriters as soon as practicable (by wire transfer of same-day funds) upon demand. In the event that the closing of a purchase of Underwritten Notes is not completed and the Payment is not returned by the Trust to the Underwriters on the same day the Payment was received by the Trust, the Depositor agrees to pay, or otherwise cause the Trust to pay, to the Underwriters in respect of each day the Payment is not returned by it, in same-day funds, interest on the amount of such Payment in an amount representing the Underwriters’ cost of financing as reasonably determined by the Representative. - 9 - (c) It is understood that the Representative or any Underwriter, individually, may (but shall not be obligated to) make Payment on behalf of any Underwriter or Underwriters for any of the Underwritten Notes to be purchased by such Underwriter or Underwriters. No such Payment shall relieve such Underwriter or Underwriters from any of its or their obligations hereunder. SECTION 4. Offering by Underwriters . Upon the authorization by the Representative of the release of the Underwritten Notes, the several Underwriters propose to offer the Underwritten Notes for sale upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Prospectus. SECTION 5. Covenants of the Depositor and HCA . Each of the Depositor and HCA covenants and agrees with the Underwriters as set forth below. (a) To file the Prospectus, properly completed, with the Commission pursuant to and in accordance with Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act no later than the second business day following the day it is first used. The Depositor will file with the Commission any Free Writing Prospectus delivered to investors in accordance with Section 6 as the Depositor is required to file under the Securities Act and the Rules and Regulations, and will do so within the applicable period of time required under the Securities Act and the Rules and Regulations (which for the avoidance of doubt shall be in the case of the Ratings Free Writing Prospectus and a Free Writing Prospectus that is Pre-pricing and Pricing Information no later than the second business day following the day it is first used). The Depositor or HCA will advise the Representative promptly of any such filing under the Securities Act. (b) To furnish to the Underwriters and counsel for the Underwriters, without charge, as many copies of the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus, the Ratings Free Writing Prospectus and all amendments and supplements to such documents, in each case as soon as available and in such quantities as the Underwriters reasonably request. The Prospectus shall be furnished on or prior to 12:00 noon, New York time, on or prior to the second business day preceding the Closing Date. All other documents shall be so furnished as soon as available and in such quantities as the Representative may reasonably request. The Depositor or HCA will pay the expenses of printing, reproducing and distributing to the Underwriters all such documents. (c) To advise the Representative promptly, in writing, of any proposal to amend or supplement the Registration Statement or the Prospectus and to not effect any such amendment or supplement to which the Representative shall reasonably object; and to also advise the Representative promptly of the effectiveness of each Registration Statement and of any amendment or supplement of the Registration Statement or the Prospectus and of the institution by the Commission of any stop order proceedings in respect of the Registration Statement and to use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any such stop order and to obtain as soon as possible its lifting, if issued. - 10 - (d) To furnish the Underwriters with copies of the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus and each amendment or supplement and any Free Writing Prospectus, during the period when any Underwriter is required to deliver a Prospectus under the Securities Act, at the cost and expense of HCA, each in such quantities as the Representative may from time to time reasonably request (and subsequent to such period, to assist the Underwriters in obtaining sufficient additional copies of the Prospectus, at the cost and expense of the Underwriters requesting such additional copies); and if, at any time prior to the expiration of the Prospectus delivery period under the Securities Act, any event shall have occurred as a result of which the Prospectus as then amended or supplemented would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made when such Prospectus is delivered, not misleading, or, if for any other reason it shall be necessary or desirable during such same period to amend or supplement the Prospectus, to notify the Representative and promptly prepare and file with the Commission (subject to the Representative’s prior review pursuant to Section 5(c)), at its own expense, an amendment or supplement which will correct such statement or omission, or an amendment which will effect such compliance. Upon the Representative’s request, the Depositor will prepare and furnish without charge to each Underwriter and to any dealer in securities as many written and electronic copies as the Representative may from time to time reasonably request of an amended Prospectus or a supplement to the Prospectus which will correct such statement or omission or effect such compliance. Neither the Underwriters’ consent to, nor the Underwriters’ distribution of any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus shall constitute a waiver of any of the conditions set forth in Section 8 hereof. (e) The Depositor will arrange for the qualification of the Underwritten Notes for offering and sale in each jurisdiction as the Representative shall designate including, but not limited to, pursuant to applicable state securities (“Blue Sky”) laws of certain states of the United States of America or other U.S. jurisdictions so designated, and the Depositor shall maintain such qualifications in effect for so long as may be necessary in order to complete the placement of the Underwritten Notes; provided, however, that the Depositor shall not be obliged to file any general consent to service of process or to qualify as a foreign corporation or as a securities dealer in any jurisdiction or to subject itself to taxation in respect of doing business in any jurisdiction in which it is not otherwise so subject.

(g) The Representative shall have received an opinion of Mayer Brown LLP, counsel to the Depositor, HCA and the Trust, addressed to the Representative, dated the Closing Date and satisfactory in form and substance to the Representative and counsel to the Underwriters, to the effect that: (i) In a properly presented and argued case in a proceeding under Title 11 of the United States Code, 11 U. S. C. §101 et seq . (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in which HCA is the debtor, the bankruptcy court would not, under applicable federal bankruptcy law, apply the doctrine of substantive consolidation to consolidate the assets and liabilities of the Depositor with the assets and liabilities of HCA. (ii) In a properly presented and argued case in a proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code, in which HCA is the debtor, the bankruptcy court would determine that, with respect to the sale of the Receivables from HCA to the Depositor, such sale was a “true sale.” (iii) If HCA were to become a debtor in a case under the Bankruptcy Code, a federal bankruptcy court would hold that (A) the Receivables sold to the Depositor are not property of the estate of HCA under Section 541 of the Bankruptcy Code and (B) the automatic stay arising pursuant to Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code would not operate to stay payments by HCA of collections on the Receivables in accordance with the Transaction Agreements. Such opinion may contain such assumptions, qualifications and limitations as are usual and customary in opinions of this type and are reasonably acceptable to counsel to the Underwriters. In rendering such opinion, such counsel may state that they express no opinion as to the laws of any jurisdiction other than the federal law of the United States of America, the laws of the State of California, and the laws of the State of New York. - 20 - (h) The Underwriters shall have received a letter of Mayer Brown LLP, counsel to the Depositor, HCA and the Trust, addressed to the Underwriters, dated the Closing Date and satisfactory in form and substance to the Underwriters and counsel to the Underwriters, to the effect that such counsel has reviewed the Time of Sale Information, the Registration Statement and the Prospectus and participated in conferences with officers and other representatives of HCA and the Depositor, representatives of the independent public accountants for HCA and the Depositor and your representatives and counsel, at which the contents of the Time of Sale Information, the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and related matters were discussed and, although such counsel does not establish or confirm factual matters set forth in the Time of Sale Information, the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, and has not undertaken any obligation to verify independently any of the factual matters set forth in the Time of Sale Information, the Registration Statement and the Prospectus and although many of the determinations required to be made in the preparation of the Time of Sale Information, the Registration Statement and the Prospectus involve matters of a non-legal nature, such counsel confirms that, on the basis of the information gained in the course of performing these services, nothing came to their attention that caused them to believe that the Registration Statement, at the Effective Date, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or that the Time of Sale Information, as of the Applicable Date, considered together with the statements in the Prospectus with respect to blanks related to pricing and price-dependent information in the Time of Sale Information, included or includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or that the Prospectus, as of its date or as of the Closing Date, included or includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that such counsel does not assume any responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained in the Time of Sale Information, the Registration Statement and the Prospectus (except, to the extent set forth in paragraph II.I of such counsel’s opinion, to be delivered on the Closing Date, with respect to certain corporate matters); provided, further, that such letter need not address any Road Show Materials included in the Time of Sale Information. In addition, such counsel does not express any belief with respect to the financial statements or other financial, statistical or accounting data contained in or omitted from the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information or the Prospectus. Such letter may provide that it is being furnished only to the Underwriters, is solely for their benefit as Underwriters of the Underwritten Notes, and is not to be used, quoted, relied upon or otherwise referred to by any other person (including any direct or indirect purchaser or owner of any of the Underwritten Notes, or any other person claiming by or through any such purchaser or owner, for any purpose or in any circumstance) or for any other purpose without such counsel’s prior written consent. Such opinion may contain such assumptions, qualifications and limitations as are usual and customary in opinions of this type and are reasonably acceptable to counsel to the Underwriters. In rendering such opinion, such counsel may state that they express no opinion as to the laws of any jurisdiction other than the federal law of the United States of America and the laws of the State of New York. - 21 - (i) Mayer Brown LLP, in its capacity as counsel for HCA and the Depositor, shall have delivered one or more opinions satisfactory in form and substance to the Representative and counsel to the Underwriters, dated the Closing Date and addressed to the Representative, subject to certain considerations set forth therein, substantially to the effect that: (i) The provisions of the Receivables Purchase Agreement are effective under the UCC as in effect in the State of New York (the “New York UCC”) to create in favor of the Depositor a security interest in HCA’s rights in the collateral described in Section 2.01(a) or Section 2.01(d), as applicable, of the Receivables Purchase Agreement (the “RPA Assets”) and in any identifiable proceeds thereof (collectively, the “HCA Collateral”). (Such counsel notes that a “security interest” as defined in Section 1-201(b)(35) of the New York UCC includes the interests of a buyer of accounts, chattel paper, payment intangibles and promissory notes and such counsel references their other opinion dated the Closing Date with respect to whether the security interest of the Depositor should be characterized as an ownership interest or solely as a collateral interest held to secure a loan made to HCA). (ii) The provisions of the Sale and Servicing Agreement are effective under the New York UCC to create in favor of the Trust a security interest in the Depositor’s rights in the collateral described in Section 2.01 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement (the “SSA Assets”) and in any identifiable proceeds thereof (the “Depositor Collateral”). (Such counsel notes that a “security interest” as defined in Section 1-201(b)(35) of the New York UCC includes the interests of a buyer of accounts, chattel paper, payment intangibles and promissory notes and such counsel expresses no opinion as to whether the security interest of the Trust would be characterized as an ownership interest or solely as a collateral interest held to secure a loan made to the Depositor). (iii) The provisions of the Indenture are effective under the New York UCC to create in favor of the Indenture Trustee a security interest in the Trust’s rights in that portion of the collateral described in the granting clause of the Indenture (the “Indenture Collateral”) and in any identifiable proceeds thereof. Such counsel expresses no opinion as to whether the security interest of the Indenture Trustee would be characterized as an ownership interest or solely as a collateral interest held to secure a loan made to the Depositor. (iv) Under the New York UCC (including the choice of laws provisions thereof) while a debtor is “located” in a jurisdiction the local law of that jurisdiction governs the perfection by the filing of a financing statement of a security interest in personal property that is accounts, chattel paper, payment intangibles or instruments. Under the New York UCC (including the choice of laws provisions thereof): (1) HCA is “located” in California and the local law of that state governs perfection by the filing of financing statements of a nonpossessory security interest in HCA’s rights in the HCA Collateral by the filing of financing statements. - 22 - (2) The Depositor is “located” in Delaware and the local law of that state governs perfection of a nonpossessory security interest in Depositor’s rights in the Depositor Collateral by the filing of financing statements. (3) The Trust is “located” in Delaware and the local law of that state governs perfection of a nonpossessory security interest in the Trust’s rights in the Indenture Collateral by the filing of financing statements. (v) When the HCA Financing Statement is filed (within the meaning of Section 9-516 of the UCC as in effect in the State of California (the “California UCC”)) in the California filing office specified in such opinion (the “California Search Office”), under the provisions of the California UCC, the Depositor’s security interest in the HCA Collateral, and in identifiable cash proceeds thereof, will be perfected. (vi) When the Depositor Financing Statement is filed (within the meaning of Section 9-516 of the UCC as in effect in the State of Delaware (the “Delaware UCC”)) in the Delaware filing office specified in such opinion (the “Delaware Search Office”), under the provisions of the Delaware UCC, the Trust’s security interest in the Depositor Collateral will be perfected. (vii) When the Issuer Financing Statement is filed (within the meaning of Section 9-516 of the Delaware UCC in the Delaware Search Office), under the provisions of the Delaware UCC, the Trust’s security interest in the Indenture Collateral will be perfected. Under the New York UCC, except as provided in the next sentence, the local law of each of HCA’s, the Depositor’s or the Trust’s (each, a “Transferring Party”), as applicable, location (as set forth in clause (iv) above) will govern the perfection and the priority of a nonpossessory security interest in such Transferring Party’s rights in the HCA Collateral, the Depositor Collateral or Indenture Collateral, as applicable that is perfected by the filing of a financing statement. To the extent that any of the HCA Collateral, the Depositor Collateral or Indenture Collateral is or becomes evidenced by instruments, tangible chattel paper or any other property in which a security interest may be perfected by taking possession, the local law of the jurisdiction where such property is located will govern, the effect of perfection or nonperfection, and the priority of both a possessory and a nonpossessory security interest in such property. (viii) The Search Reports were requested using the names of each Transferring Party. Such counsel has reviewed the Search Reports (as defined in such opinion and each as of the dates set forth therein) and, except for the financing statements naming specified parties as the secured parties, such Search Reports identify no secured party who has filed with the Search Offices a financing statement naming a Transferring Party as a debtor or seller and indicating the HCA Collateral, the Seller Collateral or the Collateral, as applicable, as collateral. Accordingly, - 23 - (1) under Article 9 of the applicable UCC and based solely on such counsel’s review of the Search Reports, upon the filing of the HCA Financing Statement in the California Search Office, the Depositor’s perfected security interest in the HCA Collateral will be prior to any other security interest granted by HCA that is perfected solely by the filing of financing statements in the State of California or the California Search Office; (2) under Article 9 of the applicable UCC and based solely on such counsel’s review of the Search Reports, upon the filing of the Depositor Financing Statement in the Delaware Search Office, the Trust’s perfected security interest in the Depositor Collateral will be prior to any other security interest granted by the Depositor that is perfected solely by the filing of financing statements in the State of Delaware or the Delaware Search Office; and (3) under Article 9 of the applicable UCC and based solely on such counsel’s review of the Search Reports, assuming the Indenture Trustee’s security interest is perfected by the filing in the Delaware Search Office of a properly prepared financing statement (as to which we express no opinion), such perfected security interest in the Indenture Collateral will be prior to any other security interest granted by the Trust that is perfected solely by the filing of financing statements in the State of Delaware or the Delaware Search Office. (ix) Pursuant to (a) Sections 9-301 through 9-307 of the NY UCC and Section 9-705(c) of the UCC in effect as of the Closing Date in each Transferring Party’s “location” as set forth in paragraph D above, the Search Offices constitute all of the filing offices in which searches must be made of financing statements naming the applicable Transferring Party as debtor or seller to determine whether a security interest in the HCA Collateral, Depositor Collateral or Indenture Collateral, as applicable, has been perfected by filing. (x) Pursuant to Section 9-305(a)(3) of the New York UCC, the local law of a securities intermediary’s jurisdiction governs perfection of a security interest by a method other than the filing of a financing statement in a securities account maintained by such securities intermediary and the security entitlements to financial assets credited thereto. With respect to the Reserve Account maintained with the Securities Intermediary pursuant to the Control Agreement, when the Securities Intermediary indicates by book entry that a financial asset has been credited to the Reserve Account, a security entitlement will exist with respect to such financial asset. Assuming that (a) the State of New York is the Securities Intermediary’s jurisdiction for purposes of the applicable UCC, (b) the Reserve Account is a securities account maintained by the Securities Intermediary for the Indenture Trustee, and (c) the Securities Intermediary has agreed to treat the Indenture Trustee as the sole person entitled to exercise the rights that comprise any financial assets credited to the Reserve Account, the Indenture Trustee’s security interest in the Trust’s rights in the Reserve Account and in security entitlements to financial assets credited thereto, is perfected by “control” within the meaning of Section 9-106 of the New York UCC. Such security interest of the Indenture Trustee in the Reserve Account and the security entitlements to financial assets carried in the Reserve Account is prior to any other security interest therein under the New York UCC that is perfected by a method other than “control”. - 24 - Such opinion may contain such assumptions, qualifications and limitations as are usual and customary in opinions of this type and are reasonably acceptable to counsel to the Underwriters. In rendering such opinion, such counsel may state that they express no opinion as to the laws of any jurisdiction other than the federal law of the United States of America and the laws of the State of New York. (j) Mayer Brown LLP, in its capacity as Federal tax counsel for the Depositor and the Trust, shall have delivered an opinion satisfactory in form and substance to the Representative and counsel to the Underwriters, dated the Closing Date and addressed to the Representative, to the effect that, for United States federal income tax purposes: (A) (i) the Notes (other than Notes (or interests therein)), if any, owned by (a) the Trust or a person considered to be the same person as the Trust for United States federal income tax purposes, (b) a member of an expanded group (as defined in Treasury Regulation section 1.385-1(c)(4) or any successor regulation then in effect) that includes the Trust (or a person considered to be the same person as the Trust for United States federal income tax purposes), (c) a “controlled partnership” (as defined in Treasury Regulation section 1.385-1(c)(1) of such expanded group or (d) a disregarded entity owned directly or indirectly by a person described in preceding clause (b) or (c)) will be treated as indebtedness and (ii) the Trust will not be treated as an association taxable as a corporation or as a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation; and (B) based on the facts and assumptions and subject to the limitations set forth in the Prospectus, the statements in the Prospectus, as of the date of the Prospectus and as of the Closing Date, and the Preliminary Prospectus, as of the Applicable Date and as of the Closing Date, under the headings “SUMMARY OF TERMS—TAX STATUS” and “MATERIAL UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES,” to the extent such statements constitute matters of law or legal conclusions, are correct in all material respects. (k) The Representative shall have received an opinion, addressed to the Representative, of Dentons US LLP, counsel to the Indenture Trustee, dated the Closing Date and satisfactory in form and substance to the Representative and counsel to the Underwriters, to the effect that: (i) The Indenture Trustee, based upon a certificate of corporate existence issued by the Comptroller of the Currency, is validly existing as a banking association in good standing under the laws of the United States, and has the requisite entity power and authority to execute and deliver each Transaction Document to which it is a party and to perform its obligations thereunder. - 25 - (ii) Each of the Transaction Documents to which the Indenture Trustee is a party has been duly authorized by all requisite action, executed and delivered by the Indenture Trustee. (iii) Each of the Transaction Documents to which the Indenture Trustee is a party, assuming (unless opined to therein) the necessary entity power and authority, authorization, execution, authentication, payment and delivery of and by each party thereto, is a valid and legally binding agreement under the laws of the State of New York, enforceable thereunder in accordance with its terms against the Indenture Trustee. (iv) With respect to the Indenture Trustee, the performance of its obligations under each of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby do not require any consent, approval, authorization or order of, filing with or notice to any United States federal or State of New York court, agency or other governmental body under any United States federal or State of New York statute or regulation that is normally applicable to transactions of the type contemplated by the Transaction Documents, except as such may be required under the securities laws of any State of the United States or such as have been obtained, effected or given. (v) With respect to the Indenture Trustee, the performance of its obligations under each of the Transaction Documents to which it is party and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby will not result in any breach or violation of any United States federal or State of New York statute or regulation that is normally applicable to transactions of the type contemplated by the Transaction Documents. (vi) The Notes have been duly authenticated and delivered by the Indenture Trustee in accordance with the Indenture. (l) The Representative shall have received an opinion addressed to the Representative, of Richards, Layton & Finger, P.A., counsel to the Owner Trustee, dated the Closing Date and satisfactory in form and substance to the Representative and counsel to the Underwriters, to the effect that: (i) The Owner Trustee is duly formed and validly existing as a national banking association under the federal laws of the United States of America and has the power and authority to execute, deliver and perform the Trust Agreement. (ii) The Owner Trustee has the full corporate trust power to accept the office of trustee under the Trust Agreement and to enter into and perform its obligations under the Trust Agreement. (iii) The execution and delivery of the Trust Agreement and the performance by the Owner Trustee of its obligations under the Trust Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary action of the Owner Trustee. (iv) The execution and delivery by the Owner Trustee of the Trust Agreement does not require any consent, approval or authorization of, or any registration or filing with Delaware or United States Federal governmental authority. - 26 - (v) The Owner Trustee has duly authorized, executed and delivered the Trust Agreement and on behalf of the Trust, the Owner Trustee has duly executed and delivered the Transaction Documents to which the Trust is a party. (vi) The Notes and the Certificates have been duly executed and delivered by the Owner Trustee, on behalf of the Trust. (m) The Representative shall have received an opinion or opinions addressed to the Representative, of Richards, Layton & Finger, P.A., special Delaware counsel for the Trust, dated the Closing Date and satisfactory in form and substance to the Representative and counsel to the Underwriters, to the effect that: (i) The Trust Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Owner Trustee and the Depositor enforceable against the Owner Trustee and the Depositor in accordance with its terms subject to (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, receivership, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance and similar laws relating to and affecting the rights and remedies of creditors generally, and (ii) principles of equity (regardless of whether considered and applied in a proceeding in equity or at law). (ii) The Trust has been duly formed and is validly existing as a statutory trust under the Delaware Statutory Trust Act, 12 Del. C. § 3801, et seq . (the “Statutory Trust Act”) and has the power and authority under the Trust Agreement and the Statutory Trust Act to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents to which the Trust is a party. (iii) The Transaction Documents to which the Trust is a party have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Trust. (iv) To the extent that Article 9 of the Delaware UCC is applicable (without regard to conflict of laws principles), upon the filing of the Financing Statement with the Division, the Indenture Trustee will have a perfected security interest in the Trust’s rights in that portion of the Collateral (as defined in the Indenture) described in the Financing Statement that may be perfected by the filing of a UCC financing statement with the Division (the “Filing Collateral”) and the proceeds (as defined in Section 9-102(a)(64) of the Delaware UCC) thereof. (v) The Search Report sets forth the correct filing office and the correct debtor name that are necessary to identify those persons, under the Delaware UCC, who have on file financing statements against the Trust covering the Filing Collateral as of the Effective Time. The Search Report identifies no secured party who has filed with the Division a financing statement naming the Trust as debtor and describing the Filing Collateral prior to the Effective Time. (vi) Assuming for federal income tax purposes that the Trust will not be classified as an association or a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation, and that the Underwritten Notes will be characterized as indebtedness for federal income tax purposes, then the Trust will not be subject to any franchise or income tax under the laws of the State of Delaware, and the Underwritten Notes will also be characterized as indebtedness for Delaware tax purposes. - 27 - (vii) Under § 3805(c) of the Statutory Trust Act, the Trust is a separate legal entity and, assuming that the Sale and Servicing Agreement conveys good title to the Trust property to the Trust as a true sale and not as a security arrangement, the Trust rather than the holders of the Certificates will hold whatever title to the Trust property as may be conveyed to it from time to time pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement, except to the extent that the Trust has taken action to dispose of or otherwise transfer or encumber any part of the Trust property. (viii) Under § 3805(b) of the Statutory Trust Act, no creditor of any Certificateholder shall have any right to obtain possession of, or otherwise exercise legal or equitable remedies with respect to, the property of the Trust except in accordance with the terms of the Trust Agreement. (ix) Under § 3808(a) and (b) of the Statutory Trust Act, the Trust may not be terminated or revoked by any holder of Certificates, and the dissolution, termination or bankruptcy of any holders of Certificates shall not result in the termination or dissolution of the Trust, except to the extent otherwise provided in the Trust Agreement. (x) The execution, delivery and performance by the Owner Trustee of the Trust Agreement and, on behalf of the Trust, the Transaction Documents to which the Trust is a party, do not require any consent, approval or authorization of, or any registration or filing with, any governmental authority of the State of Delaware, except for the filing of the Certificate of Trust with the Secretary of State. (xi) Neither the consummation by the Owner Trustee of the transactions contemplated in the Trust Agreement or, on behalf of the Trust, the transactions contemplated in the Transaction Documents to which the Trust is a party nor the fulfillment of the terms thereof by the Owner Trustee will conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any law of the State of Delaware. Such opinion may contain such assumptions, qualifications and limitations as are usual and customary in opinions of this type and are reasonably acceptable to counsel to the Underwriters. In rendering such opinion, such counsel may state that they express no opinion as to the laws of any jurisdiction other than the laws of the State of Delaware. Capitalized terms used in the above opinion paragraphs and not otherwise defined in this Agreement will have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the relevant opinion. (n) The Representative shall have received from Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP, counsel for the Underwriters, such opinion or opinions, dated the Closing Date, with respect to such matters as the Representative may require, and the Depositor and HCA shall have furnished to such counsel such documents as it may reasonably request for the purpose of enabling it to pass upon such matters. (o) The Representative shall have received copies of each opinion of counsel delivered to any rating agency, together with a letter addressed to the Representative, dated the Closing Date, to the effect that the Representative and the Underwriters may rely on each such opinion to the same extent as though such opinion was addressed to each as of its date. - 28 - (p) The Representative shall have received certificates dated the Closing Date of any one of the President, Chief Financial Officer, any Vice President, the Controller or the Treasurer of the Depositor and HCA in which such officer shall state that: (A) the representations and warranties made by such entity contained in the Transaction Documents and this Agreement are true and correct, that such party has complied with all agreements and satisfied all conditions on its part to be performed or satisfied under such agreements on or before the Closing Date, (B) since the date of this Agreement there has not occurred any material adverse change, or any development involving a prospective material adverse change, in or affecting the condition, financial or otherwise, or in the earnings, business or operations of the Trust, the Depositor or HCA except as disclosed to the Representative in writing, and (C) there are no actions, proceedings or investigations to which the Depositor or HCA is a party or that are threatened before any court, administrative agency or other tribunal having jurisdiction over HCA or the Depositor, (i) that are required to be disclosed in the Registration Statement, (ii) asserting the invalidity of this Agreement, any Transaction Document or the Notes, (iii) seeking to prevent the issuance of the Notes or the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Transaction Documents, (iv) which could reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the performance by the Depositor or HCA of its obligations under, or the validity or enforceability of, this Agreement, any Transaction Document or the Notes or (v) seeking adversely to affect the federal income tax attributes of the Notes as described in the Prospectus or the Preliminary Prospectus under the headings “MATERIAL UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES.” (q) The Representative shall have received evidence satisfactory to the Representative and counsel to the Underwriters that, on or before the Closing Date, UCC-1 financing statements, have been or are being filed in all applicable governmental offices reflecting (A) the transfer of the interest of HCA in the Receivables, and the proceeds thereof to the Depositor pursuant to the Receivables Purchase Agreement, (B) the transfer of the interest of the Depositor in the Receivables Purchase Agreement, the Receivables, and the proceeds thereof to the Trust pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement, and (C) the grant by the Trust to the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture of a security interest in the interest of the Trust in the Receivables Purchase Agreement, the Receivables, the Collateral and the proceeds thereof. (r) The Representative shall have received evidence of ratings letters that assign the ratings to the Notes specified in the Ratings Free Writing Prospectus. (s) The Representative shall have received, from each of HCA and the Depositor, a certificate executed by a secretary or assistant secretary thereof to which shall be attached certified copies of the: (i) charter, (ii) by-laws, (iii) applicable resolutions and (iv) designation of incumbency of each such entity. (t) The Representative shall have received evidence of any required Lien releases to be filed or recorded (immediately following the Closing Date) with respect to the Permitted Liens affecting the Receivables from all applicable creditors of HCA, in form and substance satisfactory to the Representative and counsel to the Underwriters. - 29 - (u) The Representative shall have received from the Indenture Trustee, a certificate stating that any information contained in the Statement of Eligibility and Qualification (Form T-1) filed with the Registration Statement, is true, accurate and complete. (v) The Representative shall have received an opinion of in-house counsel to the Asset Representations Reviewer, dated the Closing Date and satisfactory in form and substance to the Representative and counsel for the Underwriters. (w) All representations and warranties made by or on behalf of HCA and the Depositor in the Transaction Documents to which each is a party are true and correct as of the Closing Date. The Depositor will provide or cause to be provided to the Representative conformed copies of such opinions, certificates, letters and documents as the Representative or counsel to the Underwriters reasonably request. SECTION 9. Termination . This Agreement shall be subject to termination in the sole discretion of the Representative by notice to the Depositor given on or prior to the Closing Date in the event that either the Depositor or HCA shall have failed, refused or been unable to perform all obligations and satisfy all conditions on its part to be performed or satisfied hereunder at or prior thereto or, if at or prior to the Closing Date, (a) trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange shall have been suspended or materially limited or minimum or maximum prices shall have been established by or on, as the case may be, the Securities and Exchange Commission or the New York Stock Exchange; (b) trading of any securities of HCA or the Depositor shall have been suspended on any exchange or in any over-the-counter market; (c) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities shall have been declared by either federal or New York State authorities; (d) a material disruption has occurred in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services in the United States or with respect to Clearstream or Euroclear systems in Europe and, in the sole judgment of the Representative, the effect of any such disruption makes it impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or the delivery of the Underwritten Notes as contemplated by the Prospectus, as amended as of the date hereof; (e) there shall have occurred (i) an outbreak or escalation of hostilities between the United States and any foreign power, (ii) an outbreak or escalation of any other insurrection or armed conflict involving the United States, or (iii) any other calamity or crisis or materially adverse change in general economic, political or financial conditions having an effect on the U. S. financial markets and, in the sole judgment of the Representative, the effect of any such outbreak, escalation, insurrection, conflict, calamity or crisis makes it impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or the delivery of the Underwritten Notes as contemplated by the Prospectus, as amended as of the date hereof; (f) any change in or affecting the Receivables or particularly the business or properties of the Trust, the Depositor or HCA shall have occurred which, in the judgment of the Representative, materially impairs the investment quality of the Underwritten Notes or makes it impractical or inadvisable to market the Underwritten Notes; or (g) any downgrading in the rating of any debt securities of HCA, the Depositor, if any, by any “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” within the meaning of the Exchange Act, or any public announcement that any such organization has under surveillance or review its rating of any such debt securities (other than an announcement with positive implications of a possible upgrading, and no implication of a possible downgrading, of such rating) shall have occurred. Termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9 shall be without liability of any party to any other party except for the liability of HCA in relation to expenses as provided in Section 7 hereof, the indemnity provided in Section 10 hereof and any liability arising before or in relation to such termination. - 30 - SECTION 10. Indemnification and Contribution . (a) The Depositor and HCA shall, jointly and severally, indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, the directors, officers, employees and agents of each Underwriter and each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Underwriter or such controlling person may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, to the extent such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement made by the Depositor or HCA in Section 2 hereof, (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained or incorporated in the Registration Statement, the Issuer Information, the Road Show Material or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto or any Form ABS-15G (taken together with the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus) furnished to the Commission on EDGAR with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or (iii) with respect to the Registration Statement, the Issuer Information, the Road Show Material or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto or any Form ABS-15G (taken together with the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus) furnished to the Commission on EDGAR with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, not misleading, and will reimburse, as incurred, each such indemnified party for any legal or other costs or expenses reasonably incurred by it in connection with investigating, defending against or appearing as a third-party witness in connection with any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Depositor and HCA will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in the Registration Statement, the Issuer Information, the Road Show Material or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto in reliance upon and in conformity with the Underwriters’ Information; provided, further, that the Depositor and HCA shall not be liable to any Underwriter or any of the directors, officers, employees and agents of an Underwriter and each person, if any, who controls an Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, with respect to any loss, claim, damage or liability that results from the fact that the Underwriter sold Underwritten Notes to a person to whom there was not sent or given, at or prior to the written confirmation of such sale, if delivery thereof was required, a copy of the Prospectus or the Prospectus as then amended or supplemented, whichever is most recent, if the Depositor has previously furnished copies thereof to such Underwriter within a reasonable time period prior to such confirmation; provided, further, that the foregoing indemnity with respect to the Issuer Information shall not inure to the benefit of an Underwriter (or to the benefit of the person controlling such Underwriter) from whom the person asserting any such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses purchased the Underwritten Notes if such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in such Issuer Information is eliminated or remedied in a Corrected Prospectus delivered to such Underwriter prior to the Time of Sale of such Underwritten Notes to such person and a copy of the Corrected Prospectus shall not have been furnished to such person at or prior to such Time of Sale; provided, further, that such Underwriter shall have been given a reasonable amount of time to deliver such Corrected Prospectus to such person. The indemnity provided for in this Section 10 shall be in addition to any liability which the Depositor and HCA may otherwise have. - 31 - (b) Each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, will indemnify and hold harmless each of the Depositor and HCA, each of its directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls the Depositor or HCA within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Depositor, HCA or any such director, officer or controlling person may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (A) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Preliminary Prospectus, any Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or (B) the omission or the alleged omission to state in the Preliminary Prospectus, any Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with the Underwriters’ Information and will reimburse, as incurred, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Depositor, HCA or any such director, officer or controlling person in connection with investigating, defending against or appearing as a third-party witness in connection with any such loss, claim, damage, liability or any action in respect thereof. The remedies provided for in this Section 10 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity. (c) In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 10, such person (for purposes of this paragraph (c), the “indemnified party”) shall, promptly after receipt by such party of notice of the commencement of such action, notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (for purposes of this paragraph (c), the “indemnifying party”), but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party under this Section 10. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party (which may be counsel to such indemnifying party if otherwise reasonably acceptable to the indemnified party); provided, however, that if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties and such indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to defend such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties. After notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense of any such action and approval by such indemnified party of counsel appointed to defend such action, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 10 for any legal or other expenses, other than reasonable costs of investigation, subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof, unless (i) the indemnified party shall have employed separate counsel in accordance with the proviso to the next preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that in connection with such action the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel (in addition to local counsel in each applicable local jurisdiction) in any one action or separate but substantially similar actions arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, designated in writing by the Representative in the case of paragraph (a) of this Section 10, representing the indemnified parties under such paragraph (a) who are parties to such action or actions), (ii) the indemnifying party has authorized the employment of counsel for the indemnified party at the expense of the indemnifying party, (iii) the use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the indemnified party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest or (iv) the indemnifying party has elected to assume the defense of such proceeding but has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified parties. All fees and expenses reimbursed pursuant to this paragraph (c) shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. After such notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party, the indemnifying party will not be liable for the costs and expenses of any settlement of such action effected by such indemnified party without the consent of the indemnifying party. No indemnifying party shall, without the written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnification could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement (x) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (y) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party. - 32 - (d) In circumstances in which the indemnity agreement provided for in the preceding paragraphs of this Section 10 is unavailable or insufficient, for any reason, to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), each indemnifying party, in order to provide for just and equitable contribution, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect (i) the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other from the offering of Underwritten Notes or (ii) if the allocation provided by the foregoing clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions or alleged statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Depositor and HCA on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total proceeds from the offering of the Underwritten Notes (before deducting expenses) received by the Depositor and HCA (including for such purpose, the value of the Certificates) bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions (the “Spread”) as set forth in the Prospectus. The relative fault of the parties shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Depositor, HCA or the Underwriters, the parties’ relative intents, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission, and any other equitable considerations appropriate in the circumstances. The Depositor, HCA and the Underwriters agree that it would not be equitable if the amount of such contribution were determined by pro rata or per capita allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to above in this paragraph (d). Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph (d), no Underwriter shall be obligated to make contributions hereunder that in the aggregate exceed the amount by which the Spread received by it in the initial offering of such Underwritten Notes, exceeds the aggregate amount of any damages that such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay in respect of the same or any substantially similar claim, and no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11 (f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters’ obligations to contribute hereunder are several in proportion t… |

Any portion of the text of any Note may be set forth on the reverse thereof, with an appropriate reference thereto on the face of such Note. The Definitive Notes shall be typewritten, printed, lithographed or engraved or produced by any combination of these methods (with or without steel engraved borders), all as determined by the officers executing such Notes, as evidenced by their execution of such Notes. 3 (2026-B Indenture) Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication. The terms of the Notes set forth in Exhibit A-1, Exhibit A-2-A, Exhibit A-2-B, Exhibit A-3, Exhibit A-4, Exhibit B and Exhibit C are part of the terms of this Indenture. Section 2.02 Execution, Authentication and Delivery . The Notes shall be executed on behalf of the Issuer by any of its Authorized Officers. The signature of any such Authorized Officer on the Notes may be manual or facsimile. Notes bearing the manual or facsimile signature of individuals who were at any time Authorized Officers of the Issuer shall bind the Issuer, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Notes or did not hold such offices at the date of such Notes. The Indenture Trustee shall upon Issuer Order authenticate and deliver Class A-1 Notes for original issue in an aggregate principal amount of $464,800,000, Class A-2-A Notes for original issue in an aggregate principal amount of $510,000,000, Class A-2-B Notes for original issue in an aggregate principal amount of $242,800,000, Class A-3 Notes for original issue in an aggregate principal amount of $752,800,000, Class A-4 Notes for original issue in an aggregate principal amount of $109,000,000, Class B Notes for original issue in an aggregate principal amount of $40,380,000, and Class C Notes for original issue in an aggregate principal amount $67,290,000.

The Notes shall be issuable as registered Notes in minimum denominations of $1,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof (except for one Note of each class which may be issued in a denomination other than an integral multiple of $1,000). No Note shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose, unless there appears on such Note a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the Indenture Trustee by the manual or facsimile signature of one of its authorized signatories, and such certificate upon any Note shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Note has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. Section 2.03 Temporary Notes . Pending the preparation of Definitive Notes, the Issuer may execute, and upon receipt of an Issuer Order the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Notes that are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, of the tenor of the Definitive Notes in lieu of which they are issued and with such variations not inconsistent with the terms of this Indenture as the officers executing such Notes may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Notes. If temporary Notes are issued, the Issuer shall cause Definitive Notes to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of Definitive Notes, the temporary Notes shall be exchangeable for Definitive Notes upon surrender of the temporary Notes at the office or agency of the Issuer to be maintained as provided in Section 3.02 , without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Notes, the Issuer shall execute, and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor, a like principal amount of Definitive Notes of authorized denominations. Until so exchanged, the temporary Notes shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as Definitive Notes. 4 (2026-B Indenture) Section 2.04 Registration; Registration of Transfer and Exchange . The Issuer shall cause to be kept a register (the “ Note Register ”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Note Registrar shall provide for the registration of Notes and the registration of all transfers of Notes. The Indenture Trustee initially shall be the “Note Registrar” for the purpose of registering Notes and transfers of Notes as herein provided. Upon any resignation of any Note Registrar, the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor or, if it elects not to make such an appointment, assume the duties of Note Registrar. If a Person other than the Indenture Trustee is appointed by the Issuer as Note Registrar, the Issuer will give the Indenture Trustee prompt written notice of the appointment of such Note Registrar and of the location, and any change in the location, of the Note Register, and the Indenture Trustee shall have the right to inspect the Note Register at all reasonable times and to obtain copies thereof, and the Indenture Trustee shall have the right to conclusively rely upon a certificate executed on behalf of the Note Registrar by an Executive Officer thereof as to the names and addresses of the Holders of the Notes and the principal amounts and number of such Notes. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note at the office or agency of the Issuer to be maintained as provided in Section 3.02 , if the requirements of Section 8-401(a) of the UCC are met, the Issuer shall execute, and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and the Noteholder shall obtain from the Indenture Trustee, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes of the same Class in any authorized denominations, of a like aggregate principal amount. At the option of the Holder, Notes may be exchanged for other Notes of the same Class in any authorized denominations, of a like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Notes are so surrendered for exchange, if the requirements of Section 8-401(a) of the UCC are met, the Issuer shall execute, and the Indenture Trustee, without having to verify that the requirements of Section 8-401(a) have been met, shall authenticate and the Noteholder shall obtain from the Indenture Trustee, the Notes that the Noteholder making the exchange is entitled to receive. All Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes shall be the valid obligations of the Issuer, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. Every Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, with such signature guaranteed by an “eligible guarantor institution” meeting the requirements of the Note Registrar, which requirements include membership or participation in the Securities Transfer Agent’s Medallion Program (“ STAMP ”) or such other “signature guarantee program” as may be determined by the Note Registrar in addition to, or in substitution for, STAMP, all in accordance with the Exchange Act. 5 (2026-B Indenture) No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, but the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 2.03 or 9.05 not involving any transfer. The preceding provisions of this Section notwithstanding, the Issuer shall not be required to make and the Note Registrar need not register transfers or exchanges of Notes selected for redemption or of any Note for a period of 15 days preceding the due date for any payment with respect to the Note. Any Notes (or interests therein) retained by the Issuer or a Person that is considered the same person as the Issuer for U.S. federal income tax purposes may not be transferred for U.S. federal income tax purposes to another Person (other than a Person that is considered the same person as the Issuer for U.S. federal income tax purposes) unless the Administrator shall cause an Opinion of Counsel to be delivered to the Depositor and the Indenture Trustee at such time stating that either (x) such Notes will be debt for U.S. federal income tax purposes or (y) the sale of such Notes will not cause the Issuer to be treated as an association or publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In addition, if for tax or other reasons it may be necessary to track such Notes (e.g., if the Notes have original issue discount), tracking conditions such as requiring that such Notes be in definitive registered form may be required by the Administrator as a condition to such transfer. The Indenture Trustee shall have no duty to monitor the compliance of the provisions of this paragraph and may conclusively rely on the Administrator to do the same. By acquiring a Note (or interest therein), each Noteholder and Note Owner (and if the Noteholder or Note Owner is a Plan, its fiduciary) is deemed to (a) represent and warrant that either (i) it is not acquiring and will not hold such Note (or interest therein) with the assets of a Benefit Plan Investor or Plan subject to Similar Law; or (ii) the acquisition, holding and disposition of such Note (or interest therein) will not, in the case of a Benefit Plan Investor, give rise to a nonexempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or, in the case of a Plan that is subject to Similar Law, result in a violation of such Similar Law and (b) acknowledge and agree that Benefit Plan Investors and Plans that are subject to Similar Law may not acquire such Note (or any interest therein) at any time that such Note does not have an investment grade rating from at least one nationally recognized statistical rating organization. The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the transfer of Notes. Section 2.05 [Reserved] . 6 (2026-B Indenture) Section 2.06 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes . If (i) any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Indenture Trustee, or the Indenture Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, and (ii) there is delivered to the Indenture Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by it to hold the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Issuer, the Note Registrar or the Indenture Trustee that such Note has been acquired by a protected purchaser, and provided that the requirements of Section 8-405 of the UCC are met, the Issuer shall execute, and upon an Issuer Order the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a replacement Note of the same Class; provided , however , that if any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, but not a mutilated Note, shall have become or within 15 days shall be due and payable, or shall have been called for redemption, instead of issuing a replacement Note, the Issuer may pay such destroyed, lost or stolen Note when so due or payable or upon the Redemption Date without surrender thereof. If, after the delivery of such replacement Note or payment of a destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a bona fide purchaser of the original Note in lieu of which such replacement Note was issued presents for payment such original Note, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to recover such replacement Note (or such payment) from the Person to whom it was delivered or any Person taking such replacement Note from such Person to whom such replacement Note 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 Issuer or the Indenture Trustee in connection therewith. Upon the issuance of any replacement Note under this Section, the Issuer may require the payment by the Holder of such Note of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other reasonable expenses (including the fees, expenses and indemnities of the Indenture Trustee) connected therewith. Every replacement Note issued pursuant to this Section in replacement of any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Issuer, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder. 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 Notes. Section 2.07 Persons Deemed Note Owners . Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of any Note, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee may treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered (as of the day of determination) as the owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payments of principal of and interest, if any, on such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note be overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or any agent of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 7 (2026-B Indenture) Section 2.08 Payment of Principal and Interest; Defaulted Interest . (a) The Class A-1 Notes, the Class A-2-A Notes, the Class A-2-B Notes, the Class A-3 Notes, the Class A-4 Notes, the Class B Notes and the Class C Notes shall accrue interest at the Class A-1 Rate, the Class A-2-A Rate, the Class A-2-B Rate, the Class A-3 Rate, the Class A-4 Rate, the Class B Rate and the Class C Rate, respectively, as set forth in Exhibit A-1, Exhibit A-2-A, Exhibit A-2-B, Exhibit A-3, Exhibit A-4, Exhibit B and Exhibit C, respectively, and such interest shall be payable on each Payment Date as specified therein, subject to Section 3.01 . Any installment of interest or principal payable on a Note that is punctually paid or duly provided for by the Issuer on the applicable Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) is registered on the Record Date to such Person as appears on the Note Register on such Record Date, except that, unless Definitive Notes have been issued pursuant to Section 2.12 , with respect to Notes registered on the Record Date in the name of the nominee of the Clearing Agency (initially, such nominee to be Cede & Co.), payment shall be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account designated by such nominee, if an account is so designated; provided, however, that the final installment of principal payable with respect to such Note on a Payment Date or on the related Stated Maturity Date (including the Redemption Price for any Note called for redemption pursuant to Section 10.01 ) shall be payable as provided in paragraph (b) below. The funds represented by any such payments returned undelivered shall be held in accordance with Section 3.03 . (b) The principal of each Note shall be payable in installments on each Payment Date as provided in Section 3.01 hereof and the forms of the Notes set forth in Exhibit A-1, Exhibit A-2-A, Exhibit A-2-B, Exhibit A-3, Exhibit A-4, Exhibit B and Exhibit C. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire unpaid principal amount of the Notes may be declared immediately due and payable, if not previously paid, in the manner provided in Section 5.02 on any date on which an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, by the Indenture Trustee or the Indenture Trustee acting at the direction of the Holders of Notes representing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class. All principal payments on each Class of Notes shall be made pro rata to the Noteholders of the related Class entitled thereto. Upon written notice thereof, the Indenture Trustee shall notify the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on the Record Date preceding the Payment Date on which the Issuer expects the final installment of principal of and interest on such Note to be paid. Such notice shall specify that such final installment will be payable only upon presentation and surrender of such Note and shall specify the place where such Note may be presented and surrendered for payment of such installment. Notices in connection with redemptions of Notes shall be mailed to Noteholders as provided in Section 10.02 .

Section 2.11 Notices to Clearing Agency . Whenever a notice or other communication to the Noteholders is required under this Indenture, unless and until Definitive Notes shall have been issued to such Note Owners pursuant to Section 2.12 , the Indenture Trustee shall give all such notices and communications specified herein to be given to Holders of the Notes to the Clearing Agency, and shall have no obligation to such Note Owners.

The Issuer has entered into this Indenture, and the Notes will be issued, with the intention that, for purposes of U.S. federal and state income tax, franchise tax and any other tax measured in whole or in part by income, the Notes (other than Notes, if any, retained by the Issuer or a Person considered to be the same person as the Issuer for U.S. federal income tax purposes) will be characterized as indebtedness secured by the Trust Estate.

(iii) The transferee warrants it (a) is not, and will not become, a partnership, a corporation taxed under Subchapter S of the Code or grantor trust for U.S. federal income tax purposes (or a disregarded entity the single owner of which is any of the foregoing) or (b) is such an entity, but (x) no more than 50% of the value of any of the direct or indirect beneficial interests in such transferee (or in the case of a disregarded entity, the interests of its single owner) is or will be attributable to such transferee’s (or in the case of a disregarded entity, the single owner’s) interest in Restricted Notes and Certificates and (y) it is not and will not be a principal purpose of the arrangement involving such entity’s beneficial interest in any Restricted Notes or Certificates to permit any partnership to satisfy the 100 partner limitation of Treasury Regulation Section 1.7704-1(h)(1)(ii) necessary for such partnership not to be classified as a publicly traded partnership under the Code. (iv) No Noteholder of a Restricted Note shall acquire or transfer any Restricted Note (or any interest therein) or cause any Restricted Notes (or any interest therein) to be marketed on or through an “established securities market” within the meaning of Section 7704(b)(1) of the Code, including, without limitation, an over-the-counter market or an interdealer quotation system that regularly disseminates firm buy or sell quotations. (v) If any Restricted Note held by the transferee is required to be treated other than as described under Section 2.13 , then the transferee, or, if different, the beneficial owner of such Restricted Note, shall agree to the designation made pursuant to the Trust Agreement of the partnership representative (and the tax matters partner for any applicable state or local tax purposes) of any partnership in which such Noteholder or beneficial owner is deemed to be a partner under Section 6223(a) of the Code and any applicable Treasury Regulations thereunder (and any corresponding provision of state law). (vi) (A) Each Noteholder of a Restricted Note shall provide to the Administrator on behalf of the Issuer and the Depositor any further information required by the Issuer to comply with the Sections 6221 through 6241 of the Code (and any corresponding provision of state law), including Section 6226(a) of the Code, (B) if such Noteholder is not the beneficial owner of such Restricted Note, the beneficial owner of such Restricted Note shall provide to the Administrator on behalf of the Issuer and the Depositor any further information required by the Issuer to comply with Sections 6221 through 6241 of the Code (and any corresponding provision of state law), including Section 6226(a) of the Code and, to the extent the Issuer determines such appointment necessary for it to make an election under Section 6226(a) of the Code (or any corresponding provision of state law), hereby appoints the Noteholder as its agent for purposes of receiving any notifications or information pursuant to the notice requirements under Section 6226(a)(2) of the Code (and any corresponding provision of state law) and (C) to the extent applicable, each Noteholder of a Restricted Note and, if different, each beneficial owner of a Restricted Note, shall hold the Issuer and its affiliates harmless for any expenses or losses (i) resulting from a beneficial owner of a Restricted Note not properly taking into account or paying its allocated adjustment or liability under Section 6226 of the Code (or any corresponding provision of state law) or (ii) suffered that are attributable to the management or defense of an audit under Sections 6221 through 6241 of the Code (or any corresponding provision of state law) or otherwise due to actions the Issuer and its affiliates take with respect to and to comply with the rules under Sections 6221 through 6241 of the Code (or any corresponding provision of state law). 12 (2026-B Indenture) (vii) The transferee acknowledges that any transfer in violation of the foregoing will be of no force and effect, will be void ab initio , and will not operate to transfer any rights to the transferee. (c) Unless the Depositor has received an opinion of nationally recognized tax counsel to the effect that the transfer of the Restricted Note without the representation pursuant to this subsection (c) will not cause the Issuer to be treated as an association or publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes and the Depositor has consented to such transfer in writing (with notice to the Indenture Trustee and Note Registrar), (i) the interests in the Restricted Notes and the Certificates together may at no time be held by more than 95 Persons and (ii) no transfer of Restricted Notes (or any interest therein) will be permitted to the extent that such transfer could cause the number of direct or indirect holders of an interest in the Restricted Notes and the Certificates to exceed a number equal to 95 Persons.

ANY TRANSFER IN VIOLATION OF THE FOREGOING WILL BE OF NO FORCE AND EFFECT, WILL BE VOID AB INITIO, AND WILL NOT OPERATE TO TRANSFER ANY RIGHTS TO THE TRANSFEREE. EACH PURCHASER OR TRANSFEREE OF THIS NOTE WILL BE REQUIRED TO PROVIDE TO THE INDENTURE TRUSTEE AND THE DEPOSITOR A CERTIFICATION OF NON-FOREIGN STATUS, IN SUCH FORM AS MAY BE ACCEPTABLE TO THE DEPOSITOR, SIGNED UNDER PENALTIES OF PERJURY or other information or documentation requested by the Depositor to determine, in its sole discretion, that payments on the Notes will not be subject to withholding under U.S. tax law.

(b) The Indenture Trustee initially shall be the “Calculation Agent” for the purpose of identifying SOFR and calculating the SOFR Rate pursuant to this Section 3.01 . Upon any resignation of the Calculation Agent, the Administrator shall promptly appoint a successor or, if it elects not to make such an appointment, assume the duties of Calculation Agent. If a Person other than the Indenture Trustee is appointed by the Administrator as the Calculation Agent, the Administrator will give the Indenture Trustee prompt written notice of the appointment of the Calculation Agent. (c) So long as the Class A-2-B Notes are Outstanding, the Calculation Agent shall obtain SOFR in accordance with the definition of “SOFR Rate” on each SOFR Adjustment Date and shall promptly provide such rate to the Administrator or such person as directed by the Administrator. All determinations of SOFR by the Calculation Agent, in the absence of manifest error, will be conclusive and binding on the Noteholders. 15 (2026-B Indenture) (d) If the Administrator determines prior to the relevant Reference Time that a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the determination of the then-current Benchmark, the Benchmark Replacement determined by the Administrator will replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes relating to the Class A-2-B Notes in respect of such determination on such date and all such determinations on all subsequent dates. The Administrator shall deliver written notice to each Rating Agency and the Calculation Agent on any SOFR Adjustment Date if, as of the applicable Reference Time, the Administrator has determined with respect to the related Interest Period that there will be a change in the SOFR Rate or the terms related thereto since the immediately preceding SOFR Adjustment Date due to a determination by the Administrator that a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred. The Administrator shall have the right to make SOFR Adjustment Conforming Changes and, in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, from time to time. (e) All percentages resulting from any calculation on the Class A-2-B Notes shall be rounded to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point, with five-millionths of a percentage point rounded upwards (e.g., 9.8765445% (or 0.098765445) would be rounded to 9.87655% (or 0.0987655)), and all dollar amounts used in or resulting from that calculation on the Class A-2-B Notes will be rounded to the nearest cent (with one-half cent being rounded upwards). (f) Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrator or any other Person in connection with a Benchmark Transition Event, a Benchmark Replacement Conforming Change or a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this Section 3.01 (or pursuant to any capitalized term used in this Section 3.01 or in any such capitalized term), including any determination with respect to administrative feasibility (whether due to technical, administrative or operational issues), a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error, may be made in the Administrator’s sole discretion, and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Basic Documents, will become effective without the consent of any other Person (including any Noteholder). The Class A-2-B Noteholders shall not have any right to approve or disapprove of these changes and shall be deemed by their acceptance of a Note to have agreed to waive and release any and all claims relating to any such determinations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Basic Documents, none of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Administrator, the Calculation Agent, the Paying Agent, the Sponsor, the Depositor or the Servicer will have any liability for any action or inaction taken or refrained from being taken by it with respect to any Benchmark, Benchmark Transition Event, Benchmark Replacement Date, Benchmark Replacement, Benchmark Replacement Adjustment, Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes or any other matters related to or arising in connection with the foregoing.

(i) Neither the Indenture Trustee nor the Calculation Agent shall have any liability for any interest rate published by any publication that is the source for determining the Interest Rates of the Class A-2-B Notes, including but not limited to the Reuters Screen (or any successor source), the FRBNY's website, the Bloomberg Financial Markets Commodities News or any successor thereto, or for any rates published on any publicly available source or in any of the foregoing cases for any delay, error or inaccuracy in the publication of any such rates, or for any subsequent correction or adjustment thereto.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, other good and valuable consideration and the mutual terms and covenants contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows: ARTICLE I.

(b) As used in this Agreement and in any certificate or other document made or delivered pursuant hereto or thereto, accounting terms not defined in this Agreement or in any such certificate or other document, and accounting terms partly defined in this Agreement or in any such certificate or other document to the extent not defined, shall have the respective meanings given to them under generally accepted accounting principles. To the extent that the definitions of accounting terms in this Agreement or in any such certificate or other document are inconsistent with the meanings of such terms under generally accepted accounting principles, the definitions contained in this Agreement or in any such certificate or other document shall control. 1 (2026-B Receivables Purchase Agreement) (c) The words “hereof,” “herein,” “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement; Article, Section, Schedule and Exhibit references contained in this Agreement are references to Articles, Sections, Schedules and Exhibits in or to this Agreement unless otherwise specified; “or” shall include “and/or”; and the term “including” shall mean “including without limitation”. (d) The definitions contained in this Agreement are applicable to the singular as well as the plural forms of such terms and to the masculine as well as to the feminine and neuter genders of such terms. (e) Any agreement, instrument or statute defined or referred to herein or in any instrument or certificate delivered in connection herewith means such agreement, instrument or statute as from time to time amended, modified or supplemented and includes (in the case of agreements or instruments) references to all attachments thereto and instruments incorporated therein; references to a Person are also to its permitted successors and assigns. ARTICLE II. Conveyance of Receivables Section 2.01 Conveyance of Receivables . (a) In consideration of the Depositor’s delivery to the Seller on the Closing Date of an amount equal to the estimated fair market value of the Purchased Assets, which amount shall be paid in the form of (i) cash, less the par value of the Retained Notes, if any, to be issued to the Seller on the Closing Date, (ii) Retained Notes and (iii) a capital contribution initially made by the Seller to the Depositor (collectively, the “ Purchase Price ”), the Seller does hereby sell, transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to the Depositor without recourse (subject to the obligations of the Seller herein) all right, title, and interest of the Seller in and to: (i) the Receivables and all moneys identified thereon on or after the Cutoff Date; (ii) the security interests in the Financed Vehicles and any accessions thereto granted by Obligors pursuant to the Receivables and any other interest of the Seller in such Financed Vehicles; (iii) any Liquidation Proceeds and any other proceeds from claims on any physical damage, credit life or disability insurance policies covering Financed Vehicles or Obligors, including any vendor’s single interest or other collateral protection insurance policy; 2 (2026-B Receivables Purchase Agreement) (iv) any property that shall have secured any Receivable and that shall have been acquired by or on behalf of the Seller; (v) all documents and other items contained in the Receivable Files; (vi) all proceeds from any Receivable repurchased by a Dealer pursuant to a Dealer Agreement; and (vii) the proceeds of any and all of the foregoing (collectively, with the assets listed in clauses (i) through (vi) above, the “ Purchased Assets ”).

ARTICLE III. THE RECEIVABLES Section 3.01 Representations and Warranties of the Seller .

Such representations and warranties speak as of the respective dates set forth therein, but shall survive the sale, transfer and assignment of the Receivables to the Issuer and the pledge of such Receivables to the Indenture Trustee. Pursuant to Section 2.01 of this Agreement, the Depositor has sold, assigned, transferred and conveyed to the Issuer, as part of the assets of the Issuer, its rights under the Receivables Purchase Agreement, including the representations and warranties of the Seller therein as set forth in Exhibit A to the Receivables Purchase Agreement as to the Receivables, upon which representations and warranties the Issuer relies in accepting the Receivables and delivering the Securities, together with all rights of the Depositor with respect to any breach thereof, including the right to require the Seller to repurchase Receivables in accordance with the Receivables Purchase Agreement. It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties referred to in this Section shall survive the sale and delivery of the Receivables to the Issuer. (b) The Seller hereby agrees that the Issuer shall have the right to enforce any and all rights under the Receivables Purchase Agreement assigned to the Issuer herein, including the right to cause the Seller to repurchase any Receivable with respect to which it is in breach of any of its representations and warranties set forth in Exhibit A to the Receivables Purchase Agreement, directly against the Seller as though the Issuer were a party to the Receivables Purchase Agreement, and the Issuer shall not be obligated to exercise any such rights indirectly through the Depositor. 3 (2026-B Sale and Servicing Agreement) Section 3.02 Perfection Representations and Warranties . If the transfer of the Conveyed Assets under this Agreement is determined to be a pledge relating to a financing or is determined not to be an absolute sale and assignment, the Depositor makes the following representations and warranties on which the Issuer is relying in purchasing the Conveyed Assets. The representations and warranties are made as of the Closing Date, but shall survive the sale, transfer and assignment of the Conveyed Assets by the Depositor to the Issuer and the pledge thereof to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture: (a) This Agreement creates a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the applicable UCC) in the Conveyed Assets in favor of the Issuer, which security interest is prior to all other Liens other than Permitted Liens and any Lien that will be released prior to the assignment hereunder, and is enforceable as such against creditors of and purchasers from the Depositor. (b) Each Receivable constitutes either “tangible chattel paper” or “electronic chattel paper” within the meaning of the UCC as in effect in the state of origination. (c) Immediately upon the transfer thereof from the Depositor to the Issuer pursuant to this Agreement, the Issuer shall have good and marketable title to each Receivable, free and clear of any Liens other than permitted liens and any Lien that will be released prior to the assignment hereunder. (d) The Depositor has caused, or will have caused, within ten days of the Closing Date, the filing of all appropriate financing statements in the proper filing office in the appropriate jurisdiction under the applicable UCC in order to perfect the security interest in the Conveyed Assets granted to the Issuer under this Agreement. (e) Other than the security interest granted to the Issuer pursuant to this Agreement, the Depositor has not pledged, assigned, sold, granted a security interest in, or otherwise conveyed any of the Receivables. The Depositor has not authorized the filing of and is not aware of any financing statements against the Depositor that include a description of collateral describing the Receivables other than any financing statement relating to the security interest granted to the Issuer under this Agreement. The Depositor is not aware of any judgment or tax lien filings against the Depositor. (f) The Contracts that constitute or evidence the Receivables do not have any marks or notations indicating that they have been pledged, assigned or otherwise conveyed to any Person other than the Issuer, except for such marks or notations indicating that they have been pledged, assigned or otherwise conveyed (i) to the Depositor or the Indenture Trustee in accordance with the Basic Documents or (ii) to HCA in accordance with Dealer Agreements. All financing statements filed or to be filed against the Depositor in favor of the Issuer in connection with this Agreement describing the Receivables contain a statement to the following effect: “A purchase of or security interest in any collateral described in this financing statement, except as provided in the Sale and Servicing Agreement, will violate the rights of the Issuer.” 4 (2026-B Sale and Servicing Agreement) Section 3.03 Repurchase upon Breach . If the Seller discovers, or is notified by a Requesting Party with a Repurchase Request regarding, a breach of any of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.02(b) to the Receivables Purchase Agreement at the time such representations and warranties were made, the Seller will investigate the Receivable to confirm the breach and determine if the breach triggers a Repurchase Event. Following a Repurchase Event, the Seller shall either (a) correct or cure such breach or (b) purchase any Receivable materially and adversely affected by such breach from the Issuer, in either case on or before the Payment Date following the end of the Collection Period which includes the 60 th day (or, if the Seller elects, an earlier Payment Date) after the date that the Seller became aware of or was notified of and confirmed such breach. Any such breach or failure will be deemed not to materially and adversely affect the Noteholders or the Issuer if such breach or failure does not affect the ability of the Issuer or the Noteholders to receive and retain timely payment in full on such Receivable. Any such purchase by the Seller shall be at a price equal to the Purchased Amount. In consideration for such repurchase, the Seller shall make (or shall cause to be made) a payment to the Issuer equal to the Purchased Amount by depositing such amount into the Collection Account in accordance with Section 5.04 on the Business Day preceding the Payment Date of repurchase (or, if the Seller elects, an earlier Payment Date). Upon payment of such Purchased Amount by the Seller, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee shall release and shall execute and deliver such instruments of release, transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse or representation, as shall be reasonably necessary to vest in the Seller or its designee any Receivable repurchased pursuant hereto. It is understood and agreed that the right to cause the Seller to purchase (or to enforce the obligations of Seller under the Receivables Purchase Agreement to purchase) any Receivable as described above shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such breach available to the Issuer, the Noteholders, the Owner Trustee, the Certificateholders and the Indenture Trustee. Neither the Owner Trustee nor the Indenture Trustee will have any duty to conduct an affirmative investigation as to the occurrence of any condition requiring the repurchase of any Receivable pursuant to this Section 3.03 . ARTICLE IV. ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF RECEIVABLES Section 4.01 Duties of Servicer . The Servicer, for the benefit of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, shall manage, service, administer and make collections on the Receivables and perform the other actions required of the Servicer under this Agreement. The Servicer shall service the Receivables in accordance with its customary servicing practices, using the degree of skill and attention that the Servicer exercises with respect to all other comparable motor vehicle receivables that it services for itself and others. The Servicer’s duties shall include the collection and posting of all payments, responding to inquiries of Obligors, investigating delinquencies, sending payment statements to Obligors, reporting any required tax information to Obligors, monitoring the Collateral, accounting for collections, furnishing monthly and annual statements to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee with respect to distributions and performing the other duties specified herein. The Servicer also shall administer and enforce all rights of the holder of the Receivables under the Receivables and the Dealer Agreements to the extent and in a manner consistent with its customary practices. To the extent consistent with the standards, policies and procedures otherwise required hereby and the Credit and Collection Policy, the Servicer shall follow its customary standards, policies and procedures and shall have full power and authority, acting alone, to do any and all things in connection with the managing, servicing, administration and collection of the Receivables that it may deem necessary or desirable. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and subject to Section 4.02, the Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of itself, the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Certificateholders and the Noteholders, or any of them, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments with respect to the Receivables and with respect to the Financed Vehicles. The Servicer is not required under the Basic Documents to make any disbursements via wire transfer or otherwise on behalf of an Obligor. There are no requirements under the Receivable or the Basic Documents for funds to be, and no funds shall be, held in trust for an Obligor. No payments or disbursements shall be made by the Servicer on behalf of an Obligor. The Servicer is hereby authorized to commence, in its own name or in the name of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Certificateholders or the Noteholders, a legal proceeding to enforce a Receivable pursuant to Section 4.03 or to commence or participate in any other legal proceeding (including a bankruptcy proceeding) relating to or involving a Receivable, an Obligor or a Financed Vehicle. If the Servicer commences or participates in any such legal proceeding in its own name, the Indenture Trustee or the Issuer shall thereupon be deemed to have automatically assigned the applicable Receivable to the Servicer solely for purposes of commencing or participating in such proceeding as a party or claimant, and the Servicer is authorized and empowered by the Indenture Trustee or the Issuer to execute and deliver in the Indenture Trustee’s or the Issuer’s name any notices, demands, claims, complaints, responses, affidavits or other documents or instruments in connection with any such proceeding. If in any enforcement suit or legal proceeding it shall be held that the Servicer may not enforce a Receivable on the ground that it shall not be a real party in interest or a holder entitled to enforce such Receivable, the Owner Trustee shall, at the Servicer’s expense and direction, take steps to enforce such Receivable, including bringing suit in its name or the name of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Certificateholders or the Noteholders. The Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee shall upon the written request of the Servicer furnish the Servicer with any powers of attorney and other documents reasonably necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder. The Servicer shall include the disclosures required by Rule 4(c)(2)(Ii) and (iii) contained in Regulation RR, 17 C.F.R. §246.4, et seq. in the first Servicer’s Certificate after the Closing Date. 5 (2026-B Sale and Servicing Agreement) Section 4.02 Collection of Receivable Payments; Modifications of Receivables . (a) Consistent with the standards, policies and procedures required by this Agreement, the Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Receivables as and when the same shall become due, and shall follow such collection procedures as it follows with respect to all comparable motor vehicle receivables that it services for itself or others. The Servicer is authorized in its discretion to waive any prepayment charge, late payment charge or any other similar fees that may be collected in the ordinary course of servicing any Receivable. (b) Subject to Section 4.06 , the Servicer may grant extensions, rebates, deferrals, amendments, modifications or adjustments on a Receivable in accordance with its customary servicing practices; provided, however , that if the Servicer (i) extends the date for final payment by the Obligor of any Receivable beyond the last day of the Collection Period prior to the Class C Stated Maturity Date or (ii) reduces the APR or unpaid principal balance with respect to any Receivable other than as required by applicable law, it will promptly purchase such Receivable in the manner provided in Section 4.07 . 6 (2026-B Sale and Servicing Agreement) (c) The Servicer may, but is not required to, make any advances of funds or guarantees regarding collections, cash flows or distributions. Payments on the Receivables, including payoffs made in accordance with the related documentation for such Receivables, shall be posted to the Servicer’s Obligor records in accordance with the principal, interest or other items in accordance with the related documentation for such Receivables. (d) Subject to the provisions of Section 4.02(b), the Servicer and its Affiliates may engage in any marketing practice or promotion or any sale of any products, goods or services to Obligors with respect to the Receivables so long as such practices, promotions or sales are offered to obligors of comparable motor vehicle receivables serviced by the Servicer for itself and others, whether or not such practices, promotions or sales might result in a decrease in the aggregate amount of payments on the Receivables, prepayments or faster or slower timing of the payment of the Receivables. (e) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Servicer may refinance any Receivable and deposit the full Principal Balance of such Receivable into the Collection Account. The receivable created by such refinancing shall not be property of the Issuer. The Servicer and its Affiliates may also sell insurance or debt cancellation products, including products which result in the cancellation of some or all of the amount of a Receivable upon the death or disability of the Obligor or any casualty with respect to the Financed Vehicle. (f) Records documenting collection efforts shall be maintained during the period a Receivable is delinquent in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy. Such records shall be maintained on at least a periodic basis that is not less frequent than as set forth in the Credit and Collection Policy, and describe the entity’s activities in monitoring delinquent pool assets including, for example, phone calls, letters and payment rescheduling plans in cases where delinquency is deemed temporary (e.g., illness or unemployment) in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy. Section 4.03 Realization upon Receivables . Consistent with the standards, policies and procedures required by this Agreement and the Credit and Collection Policy, the Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to repossess or otherwise convert the ownership of and liquidate any Financed Vehicle securing a Receivable with respect to which the Servicer shall have determined that eventual payment in full is unlikely; provided , however , that the Servicer may elect not to repossess a Financed Vehicle if in its good faith judgment it determines that the proceeds ultimately recoverable with respect to such Receivable would not be greater than the expense of such repossession. In repossessing or otherwise converting the ownership of a Financed Vehicle and liquidating a Receivable, the Servicer is authorized to follow such customary practices and procedures as it shall deem necessary or advisable, consistent with the standard of care required by Section 4.01, which practices and procedures may include reasonable efforts to realize upon any recourse to Dealers, the sale of the related Financed Vehicle at public or private sale, the submission of claims under an insurance policy and other actions by the Servicer in order to realize upon a Receivable; provided , however , that in any case in which the Financed Vehicle shall have suffered damage, the Servicer shall not expend funds in connection with any repair or towards the repossession of such Financed Vehicle unless it shall determine in its reasonable judgment that such repair or repossession shall increase the related Liquidation Proceeds by an amount materially greater than the expense for such repair or repossession. The Servicer shall be entitled to recover all reasonable expenses incurred by it in the course of repossessing and liquidating a Financed Vehicle into cash proceeds, but only out of the cash proceeds of the sale of such Financed Vehicle, any deficiency obtained from the related Obligor or any amounts received from recourse to the related Dealer. 7 (2026-B Sale and Servicing Agreement) Section 4.04 [Reserved] . Section 4.05 Maintenance of Security Interests in Financed Vehicles . The Servicer shall, in accordance with its customary servicing procedures, take such steps as are necessary to maintain perfection of the security interest created by each Receivable in the related Financed Vehicle. The provisions set forth in this Section are the sole requirements under the Basic Documents with respect to the maintenance of collateral or security on the Receivables. It is understood that the Financed Vehicles are the collateral and security for the Receivables, but that the certificate of title with respect to a Financed Vehicle does not constitute collateral and merely evidences such security interest. The Servicer is hereby authorized to take such steps as are necessary to re-perfect such security interest on behalf of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee in the event of the relocation of a Financed Vehicle, or for any other reason. In the event that the assignment of a Receivable to the Issuer is insufficient, without a notation on the related Financed Vehicle’s certificate of title, or without fulfilling any additional administrative requirements under the laws of the state in which such Financed Vehicle is located, to perfect a security interest in the related Financed Vehicle in favor of the Issuer, the Servicer hereby agrees that the designation of HCA as the secured party on the certificate of title is in its capacity as agent of the Issuer. Section 4.06 Covenants of Servicer . By its execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Servicer hereby covenants as follows (upon which covenants the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee rely in accepting the Receivables and delivering the applicable Securities): (a) Liens in Force . The Servicer will not release the Financed Vehicle securing any Receivable from the security interest granted by such Receivable in whole or in part except (i) in the event of payment in full by or on behalf of the Obligor thereunder or payment in full less a deficiency which the Servicer would not attempt to collect in accordance with its customary servicing practices, (ii) in connection with repossession and sale of the Financed Vehicle or (iii) as may be required by an insurer in order to receive proceeds from any Insurance Policy covering such Financed Vehicle; (b) No Impairment . The Servicer shall do nothing to impair the rights of the Trust in the property of the Trust; (c) No Amendments . The Servicer shall (i) not extend the date for final payment by the Obligor of any Receivable beyond the last day of the Collection Period prior to the Class C Stated Maturity Date; or (ii) reduce the APR or unpaid principal balance with respect to any Receivable other than as required by applicable law. (d) Safekeeping . The Servicer, in its capacity as custodian, shall hold, or cause its agent to hold, the Receivable Files for the benefit of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee in accordance with its customary servicing practices. For the avoidance of doubt, the Servicer may, in accordance with its customary servicing practices, (i) maintain all or a portion of the Receivable Files in electronic form and (ii) maintain custody of all or any portion of the Receivable Files with one or more of its agents or designees. 8 (2026-B Sale and Servicing Agreement) Section 4.07 Purchase of Receivables Upon Unfulfilled Servicer Obligations . Upon discovery by any party hereto of any unfulfilled servicer obligations set forth in Section 4.02 , 4.03 , 4.05 or 4.06 which materially and adversely affects the interests of the Issuer or the Noteholders, the party discovering such action or inaction shall give prompt written notice thereof to the other parties hereto; provided , that delivery of a Servicer’s Certificate shall be deemed to constitute prompt written notice thereof to the other party; provided , further , that the failure to give such notice shall not affect any obligation of the Servicer under this Section 4.07 . Following an unfulfilled servicer obligation described in the preceding sentence, the Servicer shall either (a) correct or cure such action or inaction or (b) purchase any Receivable materially and adversely affected by the servicer’s action from the Issuer, in either case on or before the Payment Date following the end of the Collection Period which includes the 60 th day (or, if the Servicer elects, an earlier Payment Date) after the date that the Servicer became aware or was notified of such action or inaction. Any such unfulfilled servicer obligation will be deemed not to materially and adversely affect the Noteholders or the Issuer if such action or inaction does not affect the ability of the Issuer or the Noteholders to receive and retain timely payment in full on such Receivable. Any such purchase by the Servicer shall be at a price equal to the Purchased Amount. In consideration for such repurchase, the Servicer shall make (or shall cause to be made) a payment to the Issuer equal to the Purchased Amount by depositing such amount into the Collection Account in accordance with Section 5.04 on the Business Day preceding such Payment Date (or, if the Servicer elects, an earlier Payment Date). Upon payment of such Purchased Amount by the Servicer, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee shall release and shall execute and deliver such instruments of release, transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse or representation, as shall be reasonably necessary to vest in the Servicer or its designee any Receivable repurchased pursuant hereto. It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Servicer to purchase any Receivable as described above shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such action or inaction available to the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Certificateholders, the Noteholders and the Indenture Trustee. Section 4.08 Servicing Fee . The Servicing Fee shall be payable to the Servicer on each Payment Date. The Servicing Fee shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.

The Servicer also will be entitled to receive Investment Earnings on amounts on deposit in the Collection Account and the Reserve Account during each Collection Period. The Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its activities under this Agreement (including taxes imposed on the Servicer and expenses incurred in connection with distributions and reports made by the Servicer to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee). The Servicer shall be required to pay all of the Indenture Trustee’s fees, expenses, reimbursements and indemnifications. Section 4.09 Servicer’s Certificate . The Servicer shall prepare and deliver to the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, and the Depositor, with a copy to each Rating Agency, on or before the second Business Day prior to each Payment Date a Servicer’s Certificate containing all information necessary to make the distributions to be made on the related Payment Date pursuant to Section 5.05 for the related Collection Period and such Servicer’s Certificate shall be certified by a Responsible Officer of the Servicer to the effect that the information provided is complete and no Servicer Termination Events have occurred. If any defaults have occurred, such Servicer’s Certificate will provide an explanation of such Servicer Termination Events. At the sole option of the Servicer, each Servicer’s Certificate may be delivered in electronic or hard copy format. Such Servicer’s Certificate as described in this section shall be in substantially the form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit B . 9 (2026-B Sale and Servicing Agreement) Section 4.10 Annual Statement as to Compliance, Notice of Servicer Termination Event . (a) The Servicer shall deliver to the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, and each Rating Agency, within 120 days after the end of the Servicer’s fiscal year (or, in the case of the first such certificate, not later than April 30, 2027), an Officer’s Certificate signed by a Responsible Officer of the Servicer, stating that (i) a review of the activities of the Servicer during the preceding 12-month period (or such shorter period in the case of the first such Officer’s Certificate) and of the performance of its obligations under this Agreement has been made under such officer’s supervision and (ii) to such officer’s knowledge, based on such review, the Servicer has fulfilled all its obligations under this Agreement throughout such period or, if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any such obligation, specifying each such default known to such officer and the nature and status thereof. (b) The Servicer shall deliver to the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, and each Rating Agency, promptly after having obtained knowledge thereof, written notice in an Officer’s Certificate of any event that with the giving of notice or lapse of time or both would become a Servicer Termination Event under Section 8.01. Except to the extent set forth in this Section 4.10(b) and Sections 4.09 and 8.04 of this Agreement and Sections 3.07, 3.19 and 5.01 of the Indenture, the Basic Documents do not require any policies or procedures to monitor any performance or other triggers and events of default. Section 4.11 Compliance with Regulation AB . The Servicer agrees to perform all duties and obligations applicable to or required of the Issuer set forth in Appendix B attached hereto and made a part hereof in all respects and makes the representations and warranties therein applicable to it. Section 4.12 Access to Certain Documentation and Information Regarding Receivables . The Servicer shall provide to representatives of the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and the Certificateholders reasonable access to the documentation regarding the Receivables and the related Trust property. The Servicer will provide such access to any Noteholder only in such cases where the Servicer shall be required by applicable statutes or regulations to permit a Noteholder to review such documentation. In each case, access shall be afforded without charge, but only upon reasonable request and during the normal business hours at the offices of the Servicer. Nothing in this Section shall affect the obligation of the Servicer to observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Obligors and the failure of the Servicer to provide access to information as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section. 10 (2026-B Sale and Servicing Agreement) Section 4.13 Term of Servicer . The Servicer hereby covenants and agrees to act as Servicer under, and for the term of, this Agreement, subject to the provisions of Sections 7.03 and 7.06.

The terminated Servicer agrees to cooperate with the successor Servicer in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the terminated Servicer under this Agreement, including the transfer to the successor Servicer for administration by it of all money and property held by the Servicer with respect to the Receivables and other records relating to the Receivables, including any portion of the Receivables File held by the Servicer and a computer tape in readable form as of the most recent Business Day containing all information necessary to enable the successor Servicer to service the Receivables.

If a successor Servicer is acting as Servicer hereunder, it shall be subject to termination under Section 8.02 upon the occurrence of any Servicer Termination Event after its appointment as successor Servicer. The original Servicer shall pay any and all fees and expenses incurred as a result of a transfer of servicing.

To avoid insufficient funds being available to make all payments as set forth in Section 5.05(b) in full, any funds remaining on deposit in the Reserve Account when the Optional Purchase is exercised shall be deposited into the Collection Account pursuant to Section 5.06(e) . (b) As described in Article 9 of the Trust Agreement, notice of any termination of the Trust shall be given by the Servicer to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee as soon as practicable after the Servicer has received notice thereof.
