DUTIES OF THE ASSET REPRESENTATIONS REVIEWER

Section 3.01 Review Scope.

The Reviews are designed to determine whether certain Receivables were in compliance with certain representations and warranties made about them in the Purchase Agreement.

3

The Review is not designed to determine any of the following:

(a) Reason for delinquency;

(b) Creditworthiness of the related Obligor, either at the time of the Review or as of the origination date of the Receivable;

(c) Overall quality of any ARR Receivable;

(d) Whether the Servicer has serviced any Receivable in compliance with the Sale and Servicing Agreement;

(e) Whether noncompliance with the representations or warranties constitutes a breach of the provisions of the Purchase Agreement;

(f) Whether the Receivables were in compliance with the representations and warranties set forth in the Purchase Agreement, except as expressly described in this ARR Agreement; or

(g) To establish cause, materiality or recourse for any failed Test as described in Section 3.05.

Section 3.02 Review Notices.

Upon receipt of a Review Notice from the Servicer, the Asset Representations Reviewer will start its Review. The Asset Representations Reviewer will not be obligated to start a Review until a Review Notice is received. The Servicer will provide the list of ARR Receivables to the Asset Representations Reviewer within 45 days after delivery of the related Review Notice.

The Asset Representations Reviewer is not obligated to verify (i) whether the Servicer properly determined that a Review Notice was required or (ii) the accuracy or completeness of the list of ARR Receivables provided by the Servicer.

Section 3.03 Review Materials.

Within 45 days of the delivery of a Review Notice, the Servicer will provide the Asset Representations Reviewer with the Review Materials for all of the ARR Receivables in one or more of the following ways: (i) by providing access to the Servicer’s receivables systems, either remotely or at an office of the Servicer, (ii) by electronic posting to a password-protected website to which the Asset Representations Reviewer has access, (iii) by providing originals or photocopies at an office of the Servicer where the ARR Receivable files are located or (iv) in another manner agreed by the Servicer and the Asset Representations Reviewer. The Servicer may redact or remove Personally Identifiable Information from the Review Materials to the extent such redaction or removal does not change the meaning or usefulness of the Review Materials. The Asset Representations Reviewer shall be entitled to rely in good faith, without independent investigation or verification, that the Review Materials are accurate and complete in all material respects, and not misleading in any material respect.

4

Section 3.04 Missing or Incomplete Review Materials.

The Asset Representations Reviewer will complete the applicable Tests for each Eligible Representation only using documentation that is made available to it. Upon receipt of the Review Materials, the Asset Representations Reviewer will complete an initial document inventory to verify that there are no systemic documentation errors, including but not limited to consistently missing or incomplete information in each ARR Receivable file. In instances where a Review Material is not accessible, is clearly unidentifiable, and/or is illegible, the Asset Representations Reviewer will request that the Servicer provide an updated copy of such Review Material. The Servicer must provide, or cause to be provided, missing Review Materials to the Asset Representations Reviewer within 15 days after written notification by the Asset Representations Reviewer. In the event missing Review Materials are not provided within this timeframe, the Test or Tests will be considered completed and the Review Report will report a Test Fail for the related ARR Receivable or applicable representation or warranty and the reason for the Test Fail.

Section 3.05 The Asset Representations Review.

For each Review, the Asset Representations Reviewer will perform for each ARR Receivable the applicable procedures listed under “Tests” in Exhibit A for each Eligible Representation. In the course of its review, the Asset Representations Reviewer will use the Review Materials referenced in the “Tests” set forth in Exhibit A. For each Test, the Asset Representations Reviewer will determine if the Test has been satisfied (a “Test Pass”) or if the Test has not been satisfied (a “Test Fail”).

Section 3.06 Review Period.

The Asset Representations Reviewer will complete the Review of all ARR Receivables within 60 days of receiving access to the Review Materials. If additional Review Materials are provided to the Asset Representations Reviewer as described in Section 3.04, the Review period will be extended for an additional 30 days in respect of the related ARR Receivable.

Section 3.07 Review Report.

Within 5 (five) business days following the applicable Review period described in Section 3.06, the Asset Representations Reviewer will provide the Issuing Entity, Sponsor, Depositor, Servicer and Indenture Trustee with a Review Report providing each Test result (i.e., Test Pass, Test Fail or Test Complete) for each ARR Receivable. For each Test Fail or Test Complete, the Review Report will indicate the related reason. The Review Report will include information, along with a summary of the Review Report’s findings and conclusions, to be included in the Issuing Entity’s Form 10-D report for the applicable Collection Period. The Asset Representations Reviewer will ensure that the Review Report does not contain any Personally Identifiable Information.

5

Section 3.08 Completion of Review for Certain ARR Receivables.

Following the delivery of the list of the ARR Receivables and before the delivery of the Review Report by the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Servicer may notify the Asset Representations Reviewer if an ARR Receivable is paid in full by the related Obligor or purchased from the Issuing Entity by the Sponsor, the Depositor or the Servicer according to the Basic Documents. On receipt of such notice, the Asset Representations Reviewer will immediately terminate all Tests of such ARR Receivables and the Review of such ARR Receivables will be considered complete (a “Test Complete”). In this case, the related Review Report will indicate a Test Complete for such ARR Receivables and the related reason.

Section 3.09 Duplicative Test.

If any ARR Receivable was included in a prior Review, the Asset Representations Reviewer will not perform any Tests on it, but will include the results of the previous Tests in the Review Report for the current Review. If the same Test is required for more than one representation or warranty listed on Exhibit A, the Asset Representations Reviewer will only perform the Test once for each ARR Receivable but will report the results of the Test for each applicable representation or warranty on the Review Report.

Section 3.10 Termination of Review.

If a Review is in process and the Notes will be paid in full on the next Payment Date, the Servicer will notify the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Indenture Trustee no less than ten days before that Payment Date. On receipt of such notice, the Asset Representations Reviewer will terminate the Review immediately and will not be obligated to deliver a Review Report with respect thereto.

Section 3.11 Review and Procedure Limitations.

The Asset Representations Reviewer will have no obligation (i) to determine whether a Delinquency Trigger has occurred, (ii) to determine whether the required percentage of Noteholders has voted to direct a Review, (iii) to determine which Receivables are subject to a Review, (iv) to obtain or confirm the validity of the Review Materials, (v) to obtain missing or insufficient Review Materials (except to the extent set forth in Section 3.04), or (vi) to take any action or cause any other party to take any action under any of the Basic Documents to enforce any remedies for breaches of any Eligible Representations.

The Asset Representations Reviewer will only be required to perform the Tests provided in Exhibit A and will have no obligation to perform additional testing procedures on any ARR Receivables or to consider any additional information provided by any party. The Asset Representations Reviewer will have no obligation to provide reporting or information in addition to that described in Section 3.07. However, the Asset Representations Reviewer may review and report on additional information that it determines in good faith to be material to its performance under this ARR Agreement.

6

The Issuing Entity expressly agrees that the Asset Representations Reviewer is not advising the Issuing Entity or any Noteholder or any investor or future investor concerning the suitability of the Notes or any investment strategy.

Section 3.14 Dispute Resolution.

If an ARR Receivable that was reviewed by the Asset Representations Reviewer is the subject of an ADR Proceeding under Section 11.02(a) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Asset Representations Reviewer will participate in the dispute resolution proceeding on request of a party to the proceeding. The reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Asset Representations Reviewer for its participation in any dispute resolution proceeding will be considered expenses of the requesting party for the dispute resolution and will be paid by a party to the dispute resolution as determined by the mediator or arbitrator for the dispute resolution according to Section 11.02 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. If not paid by a party to the dispute resolution, the expenses of the Asset Representations Reviewer will be reimbursed in accordance with Section 4.03 of this ARR Agreement.

Section 3.15 Records Retention.

The Asset Representations Reviewer will maintain copies of Review Materials, Review Reports and internal work papers and correspondence (collectively the “Client Records”) for a period of 2 years after the termination of this ARR Agreement. At the expiration of the retention period, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall return all Client Records to the Servicer, in electronic format. Upon the return of the Client Records, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall have no obligation to retain such Client Records or to respond to inquiries concerning the Review (other than in connection with a dispute resolution under Section 3.14).

10

hereunder. In no event will the Asset Representations Reviewer be liable for any special, indirect or consequential loss or damage (including loss of profit) even if the Asset Representations Reviewer has been advised of the likelihood of the loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

The Asset Representations Reviewer and any director, officer, employee, or agent may rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder.

Such indemnities shall not be limited to or reduced by available amounts on deposit in the related collection account at any time during which an obligation to reimburse the Asset Representations Reviewer for its indemnities exists but will be paid in accordance with Section 5.04(b) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement and Section 5.04(b) of the Indenture, as applicable.

Section 5.04 Indemnification by Asset Representations Reviewer.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Issuing Entity, the Depositor, the Servicer, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee, and their respective officers, directors, successors, assigns, legal representatives, agents, and servants (each an “Indemnified Person”), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, taxes, claims, actions, investigations, proceedings, costs, expenses or disbursements (including reasonable legal fees and expenses incurred in connection with any enforcement (including any action, claim, or suit brought) by an indemnified party of any indemnification obligation of the Asset Representations Reviewer) of any kind and nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted at any time

11

against an Indemnified Person (whether or not also indemnified against by any other Person) which arose out of the negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of the Asset Representations Reviewer in the performance of its obligations and duties under this ARR Agreement; provided, however, that the Asset Representations Reviewer shall not be liable for or required to indemnify an Indemnified Person from and against expenses arising or resulting from (i) the Indemnified Person’s own willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence, or (ii) the inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made by the Indemnified Person in this ARR Agreement.

In case any such action, investigation or proceeding will be brought involving an Indemnified Person, the Asset Representations Reviewer will assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel and the payment of all expenses. The Issuing Entity, the Depositor, the Servicer, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee each will have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action, investigation or proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof and the reasonable attorney’s fees associated therewith will be paid by the Asset Representations Reviewer. In the event of any claim, action, or proceeding for which indemnity will be sought pursuant to this Section, the Issuing Entity’s, the Depositor’s, the Servicer’s, the Owner Trustee’s and the Indenture Trustee’s choice of legal counsel shall be subject to the approval of the Asset Representations Reviewer, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

The indemnification set forth in this Section 5.04 will survive the termination of this ARR Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Asset Representations Reviewer. The obligations pursuant to this Section 5.04 shall not constitute a claim against the Issuing Entity or the Trust Estate (as defined in the Basic Documents) and shall only constitute a claim against the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Asset Representations Reviewer shall not be liable for any amount in excess of the fees received by it in accordance with the terms of this ARR Agreement.
