Asset-Backed Notes CarMax Business Services, LLC
CERTAIN INFORMATION REGARDING THE NOTES General
The prospectus supplement for each transaction will describe:
• the timing, amount and priority of payments of principal and interest on each class of notes;
• the interest rate for each class of notes or the formula for determining the interest rate;
• the method for determining the amount of principal payments on each class of notes;
• the priority of the application of the trust’s available funds to its expenses and payments on its notes;
and
• the method for allocating losses among each class of notes.
The rights of any class of notes to receive payments may be senior or subordinate to other classes of notes.
A note may be entitled to:
• principal payments with disproportionate, nominal or no interest payments;
• interest payments with disproportionate, nominal or no principal payments; or
• residual cash flow remaining after all other classes have been paid.
Each class of notes entitled to receive interest payments may bear interest at a fixed rate of interest, a floating rate of interest or a combination of a fixed rate and a floating rate of interest as more fully described in this prospectus and in the related prospectus supplement. If a class of notes is redeemable, the related prospectus supplement will describe when they may be redeemed and at what price. The aggregate initial principal amount of the notes issued by a trust may be greater than, equal to or less than the aggregate initial principal amount of the receivables held by that trust.
Payments of principal and interest on any class of notes will be made on a pro rata basis among all the noteholders of that class. If the amount of funds available to make a payment on a class is less than the required payment, the holders of the notes of that class will receive their pro rata share of the available amount. A series
25
may provide for a liquidity facility or similar arrangement that permits one or more classes of notes to be paid in planned amounts on specified Distribution Dates.
Fixed Rate Notes
Each class of fixed rate notes will bear interest at the applicable per annum interest rate specified in the related prospectus supplement. Interest on each class of fixed rate notes may be computed on the basis of a 360- day year of twelve 30-day months or on such other day count basis as is specified in the related prospectus supplement.
Floating Rate Notes
Each class of floating rate notes will bear interest for each applicable interest accrual period described in the related prospectus supplement at a rate determined by reference to a base rate of interest, plus or minus the number of basis points specified in the prospectus supplement, if any, or multiplied by the percentage specified in the prospectus supplement, if any, or as otherwise specified in the prospectus supplement.
The base rate of interest for any floating rate notes will be based on a London interbank offered rate, commercial paper rates, Federal funds rates, swaps rates, United States government treasury securities rates, negotiable certificates of deposit rates or the prime rate.
A class of floating rate notes may also have either or both of the following (in each case expressed as a rate per annum):
• a maximum limitation, or ceiling, on the rate at which interest may accrue during any interest accrual period; provided, that the interest rate applicable to any class of floating rate notes will in no event be higher than the maximum rate permitted by applicable law; and
• a minimum limitation, or floor, on the rate at which interest may accrue during any interest accrual period.
Each trust issuing floating rate notes may appoint a calculation agent to calculate interest rates on each class of its floating rate notes. The prospectus supplement will identify the calculation agent, if any, for each class of floating rate notes, which may be either the owner trustee or the indenture trustee with respect to the trust. All determinations of interest by a calculation agent will, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all purposes and binding on the holders of the floating rate notes. All percentages resulting from any calculation of the rate of interest on a floating rate note will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest 1/100,000 of 1%
(.0000001), with five one-millionths of a percentage point rounded upward.
If the trust issues floating rate notes, it may enter into interest rate swaps or interest rate caps with
counterparties to hedge the potential mismatch between the fixed interest rates on the receivables and the floating interest rates on the floating rate notes. If the trust enters into an interest rate swap, the trust will make fixed payments on a monthly basis to a swap counterparty and will receive payments based on the floating rate applicable to the notes. If the trust enters into an interest rate cap, the trust will make an upfront payment to a counterparty and will receive a payment on a monthly basis to the extent that the applicable floating rate exceeds a stated, or capped, amount. The material terms of these arrangements and information about the counterparties will be described in the prospectus supplement.
Book-Entry Registration
The notes will be available only in book-entry form except in the limited circumstances described under “—
26
Definitive Notes Only in Limited Circumstances” in this prospectus. All notes will be held in book-entry form by DTC, in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC. Investors’ interests in the notes will be represented through financial institutions acting on their behalf as direct and indirect participants in DTC. Investors may hold their notes through DTC, Clearstream Banking Luxembourg S.A., or Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V., which will hold positions on behalf of their customers or participants through their respective depositories, which in turn will hold such positions in accounts as DTC participants. The notes will be traded as home market instruments in both the U.S. domestic and European markets. Initial settlement and all secondary trades will settle in same-day funds. The DTC rules applicable to its participants are on file with the SEC. More information about DTC can be found at www.dtcc.com.
Investors electing to hold their notes through DTC will follow the settlement practices applicable to U.S.
corporate debt obligations. Investors electing to hold global notes through Clearstream or Euroclear accounts will follow the settlement procedures applicable to conventional eurobonds, except that there will be no temporary global notes and no “lock-up” or restricted period.
Actions of noteholders under the indenture will be taken by DTC upon instructions from its participants and all payments, notices, reports and statements to be delivered to noteholders will be delivered to DTC or its nominee as the registered holder of the book-entry notes for distribution to holders of book-entry notes in accordance with DTC’s procedures.
Investors should review the procedures of DTC, Clearstream and Euroclear for clearing, settlement and withholding tax procedures applicable to their purchase of the notes.
Definitive Notes Only in Limited Circumstances
With respect to any class of notes issued in book-entry form, such notes will be issued in fully registered, certificated form to noteholders or their respective nominees, rather than to DTC or its nominee, only if:
• the administrator of the trust or the Servicer notifies the indenture trustee in writing that DTC is no longer willing or able to discharge properly its responsibilities as Depository with respect to the notes and the administrator or the indenture trustee, as the case may be, is unable to locate a qualified successor; or
• after the occurrence of an Event of Default or an Event of Servicing Termination, holders representing not less than 51% of the outstanding principal amount of the notes of such class advise DTC and the indenture trustee in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system through DTC, or a successor thereto, with respect to the notes is no longer in the best interest of the holders of the notes.
Upon the occurrence of any event described in the immediately preceding paragraph, DTC will notify all applicable noteholders of a given class through participants of the availability of Definitive Notes. Upon
surrender by DTC of the Definitive Notes representing the corresponding notes and receipt of instructions for re- registration, the indenture trustee will reissue the notes as Definitive Notes to the noteholders.
Distributions of principal of, and interest on, the Definitive Notes will thereafter be made by the indenture trustee in accordance with the procedures set forth in the related indenture directly to holders of Definitive Notes in whose names the Definitive Notes were registered at the close of business on the Record Date specified for such notes in the related prospectus supplement. The distributions will be made by check mailed to the address of the holder as it appears on the register maintained by the indenture trustee or by wire transfer to the account designated in writing to the indenture trustee by the holder at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date. The final payment on any Definitive Note, however, will be made only upon presentation and surrender of the Definitive Note at the office or agency specified in the notice of final distribution to the applicable
noteholders.
27
Definitive Notes will be transferable and exchangeable at the offices of the indenture trustee or of a registrar named in a notice delivered to holders of Definitive Notes. No service charge will be imposed for any
registration of transfer or exchange, but the indenture trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge imposed in connection therewith.

In general, any notes owned by the trust, the Seller, the Servicer or any of their respective affiliates will be entitled to benefits under such documents equally and proportionately to the benefits afforded other owners of notes, except that such notes will be deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of determining whether the requisite percentage of noteholders have given any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver under such documents.
Limitation on Right to Institute Bankruptcy Proceedings
The related indenture trustee and each noteholder, by accepting the related notes or a beneficial interest therein, will covenant that they will not at any time institute against the Seller or the trust any bankruptcy, reorganization or other proceeding under any federal or state bankruptcy or similar law.
