ARTICLE III.

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 applicable Receivables Purchase Agreement.

The Reviews are not designed to determine any of the following:

(a) reason for delinquency;

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

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

(e) whether noncompliance with the representations or warranties constitutes a breach of the applicable Receivables Purchase Agreement;

(f) whether the Receivables complied with the representations and warranties set forth in the applicable Receivables Purchase Agreement, except as expressly described in this Agreement; or

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

Section 3.02 Review Notices.

Upon (i) receipt of a Review Notice from the Indenture Trustee and (ii) receipt of a list of Review Assets from the Servicer (which list will be delivered by the Servicer to the Asset Representations Reviewer within ten (10) Business Days of the Servicer’s receipt of a Review Notice), the Asset Representations Reviewer will start a Review.

The Asset Representations Reviewer will not be obligated to start a Review until a Review Notice and the related list of Review Assets is received by it. The Asset Representations Reviewer is not obligated to verify (i) whether the Indenture Trustee properly determined that a Review Notice was required or (ii) the accuracy or completeness of the list of Review Assets provided by the Servicer.

Section 3.03 Review Materials.

Within sixty (60) days of the delivery of a Review Notice, the Servicer will provide the Asset Representations Reviewer with access to the Review Materials for all of the Review Assets in one or more of the following ways: (i) by providing access to the Servicer’s 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 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.

Section 3.04 Missing or Insufficient Review Materials.

The Asset Representations Reviewer will review the Review Materials to determine if any Review Materials are missing or insufficient for the Asset Representations Reviewer to perform any Test. If the Asset Representations Reviewer determines that there are missing or insufficient Review Materials, the Asset Representations Reviewer will notify the Servicer promptly, and in any event no less than twenty (20) Business Days before the end of the Initial Review Period. The Servicer will have fifteen (15) Business Days from receipt of such notification to give the Asset Representations Reviewer access to the missing Review Materials or other documents or information to correct any such insufficiency. If the missing or insufficient Review Materials or other documents or information have not been provided by the Servicer within such fifteen (15) Business Day period, the related review of such Review Assets will be considered completed and the Review Report will report a Test Fail for each Test in respect of which such missing or insufficient Review Materials is necessary to determine whether a Test Pass result is appropriate.

Section 3.05 The Asset Representations Review.

For each Review, the Asset Representations Reviewer will perform, for each related Review Asset, the applicable procedures listed under “Tests” in Exhibit A for each Eligible Representation, using the Review Materials necessary to perform the procedures listed under such Test in Exhibit A. For each Test and Review Asset, 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”).

If any Review Asset was included in a prior Review, the Asset Representations Reviewer will not conduct additional Tests on such Review Asset, and will include the previously reported Test results in the Review Report for the current Review, unless the Asset Representations Reviewer has reason to believe that the prior Review was conducted in a manner that would not have ascertained compliance of that Review Asset with a specific representation or warranty, in which case additional tests may be conducted by the Asset Representations Reviewer. If the same Test is required for more than one Eligible Representation, the Asset Representations Reviewer will only perform the Test once for each Review Asset, and will report the results of the Test for each applicable Eligible Representation on the Review Report.

Section 3.06 Review Period.

The Asset Representations Reviewer will complete the Review of all applicable Review Assets within sixty (60) days after having received access to the related Review Materials pursuant to Section 3.03 (the “Initial Review Period”). However, if additional Review Materials are provided to the Asset Representations Reviewer in respect of any Review Assets, as described in Section 3.04, the Initial Review Period will be extended for an additional thirty (30) days in respect of any such Review Assets.

Section 3.07 Completion of Review for Certain Review Assets.

Following the delivery of the list of the Review Assets and before the delivery of the Review Report by the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Servicer may notify the Asset Representations Reviewer if a Review Asset is paid in full by the related Obligor or purchased from the Issuer in accordance with the terms of the Basic Documents. On receipt of such notice, the Asset Representations Reviewer will immediately terminate all Tests of the related Review Asset, and the Review of such Review Asset will be considered complete (a “Test Complete”). In this case, the related Review Report will indicate a Test Complete for such Review Asset and the related reason.

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 (10) 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.

Section 3.08 Review Report.

Within five (5) days following the applicable Review period described in Section 3.06, the Asset Representations Reviewer will provide the Issuer, the Sellers, the Servicer, the Depositor, the Administrator and the Indenture Trustee with a Review Report indicating for each Review Asset whether there was a Test Pass, Test Fail or Test Complete for each related Test. For each Test Fail or Test Complete, the Review Report will indicate the related reason, including (for example) whether the Review Asset was a Test Fail as a result of missing or incomplete Review Materials. The Review Report will contain a summary of the Review results to be included in the Issuer’s Form 10-D report in accordance with Section 23 of the Administration Agreement. The Asset Representations Reviewer will ensure that the Review Report does not contain any Personally Identifiable Information. On reasonable request of the Servicer, the Asset Representations Reviewer will provide additional details on the Test results.

Section 3.09 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), (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 or (vii) to determine whether any Test Fail constitutes a breach of any Basic Document.

The Asset Representations Reviewer will only be required to perform the Tests provided in Exhibit A in consideration of the Review Materials made accessible to it in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and will have no obligation to perform additional testing procedures on any Review Assets other than as specified in this Agreement. The Asset Representations Reviewer will have no obligation to provide reporting or information in addition to that described in Section 3.08. 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 Agreement.

The Issuer expressly agrees that the Asset Representations Reviewer is not advising the Issuer or any Noteholder or any investor or future investor concerning the suitability of the Notes or any investment strategy. The Issuer expressly acknowledges and agrees that the Asset Representations Reviewer is not an expert in accounting, tax, regulatory, or legal matters, and that the Asset Representations Reviewer does not provide legal advice as to any matter.

Section 3.12 Dispute Resolution.

If a Review Asset that was the subject of Review becomes the subject of a dispute resolution proceeding under Section 11.02 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 reasonable expenses of the Asset Representations Reviewer will be reimbursed by the Issuer according to Section 4.03 of this Agreement.

Section 3.13 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 two (2) years after the delivery of the related Review Report.

indemnification or other obligation of the Asset Representations Reviewer) of any kind and nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted at any time 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 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 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 Issuer, 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 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 5.07, the Issuer’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 obligations set forth in Section 5.04 and this Section 5.07 will survive the termination of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Asset Representations Reviewer. The obligations pursuant to this Section 5.07 shall not constitute a claim against the Issuer or the Trust Estate (as defined in the Indenture) 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 Agreement. To the extent amounts due to the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee under this Section 5.07 are in excess of the limitation set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, such amounts will be paid by the Issuer in accordance with the priority of payments set forth in Section 5.06 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement or Section 5.04(b) of the Indenture, as applicable.

ARTICLE VII.

TREATMENT OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

Section 7.01 Confidential Information.

(a) Treatment. The Asset Representations Reviewer agrees to hold and treat Confidential Information given to it under this Agreement in confidence and under the terms and conditions of this Article VII, and will implement and maintain safeguards to further assure the confidentiality of the Confidential Information. The Confidential Information will not, without the prior consent of the Issuer and the Servicer, be disclosed or used by the Asset Representations Reviewer, or its officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives or affiliates, including legal counsel (collectively, the “Information Recipients”) other than for the purposes of performing Reviews of Review Assets or performing its obligations under this Agreement. The Asset Representations Reviewer agrees that it will not, and will cause its Affiliates to not (i) purchase or sell securities issued by the Issuer or its Affiliates or special purpose entities on the basis of Confidential Information or (ii) use the Confidential Information for the preparation of research reports, newsletters or other publications or similar communications.

(b) Definition. “Confidential Information” means oral, written and electronic materials (irrespective of its source or form of communication) furnished before, on or after the date of this Agreement to the Asset Representations Reviewer for the purposes contemplated by this Agreement, including:

(i) lists of Review Assets and any related Review Materials;

(ii) origination and servicing guidelines, policies and procedures, and form contracts; and

(iii) notes, analyses, compilations, studies or other documents or records prepared by the Servicer, which contain information supplied by or on behalf of the Servicer or its representatives.

However, Confidential Information will not include information that (A) is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of disclosure by the Information Recipients, (B) was available to, or becomes available to, the Information Recipients on a non-confidential basis from a Person or entity other than the Issuer or the Servicer before its disclosure to the Information Recipients who, to the knowledge of the Information Recipient is not bound by a confidentiality agreement with the Issuer or the Servicer and is not prohibited from transmitting the information to the Information Recipients, (C) is independently developed by the Information Recipients without the use of the Confidential Information, as shown by the Information Recipients’ files and records or other evidence in the Information Recipients’ possession or (D) the Issuer or the Servicer provides permission to the applicable Information Recipients to release.

(c) Protection. The Asset Representations Reviewer will take reasonable measures to protect the secrecy of and avoid disclosure and unauthorized use of Confidential Information, including those measures that it takes to protect its own confidential information and not less than a reasonable standard of care. The Asset Representations Reviewer acknowledges that Personally Identifiable Information is also subject to the additional requirements in Section 7.02.

(d) Disclosure. If the Asset Representations Reviewer is required by applicable law, regulation, rule or order issued by an administrative, governmental, regulatory or judicial authority to disclose part of the Confidential Information, it may disclose the Confidential Information. However, before a required disclosure, the Asset Representations Reviewer, if permitted by law, regulation, rule or order, will use its reasonable efforts to provide the Issuer and the Servicer with notice of the requirement and will cooperate, at the Servicer’s expense, in the Issuer’s and the Servicer’s pursuit of a proper protective order or other relief for the disclosure of the Confidential Information. If the Issuer or the Servicer is unable to obtain a protective order or other proper remedy by the date that the information is required to be disclosed, the Asset Representations Reviewer will disclose only that part of the Confidential Information that it is advised by its legal counsel it is legally required to disclose.

(e) Responsibility for Information Recipients. The Asset Representations Reviewer will be responsible for a breach of this Article VII by its Information Recipients.

(f) Violation. The Asset Representations Reviewer agrees that a violation of this Agreement may cause irreparable injury to the Issuer and the Servicer and the Issuer and the Servicer may seek injunctive relief in addition to legal remedies. If an action is initiated by the Issuer or the Servicer to enforce this Article VII, the prevailing party will be entitled to reimbursement of costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees, incurred by it for the enforcement.

When permitted, the disclosure of or access to Issuer PII will be limited to the specific information necessary for the individual to complete the assigned task. The Asset Representations Reviewer will inform personnel with access to Issuer PII of the confidentiality requirements in this Agreement and train its personnel with access to Issuer PII on the proper use and protection of Issuer PII. The Asset Representations Reviewer will not sell, disclose, provide or exchange Issuer PII with or to any third party without the prior consent of the Issuer and the Servicer.

The Asset Representations Reviewer must comply with all laws applicable to Personally Identifiable Information, Issuer PII and the Asset Representations Reviewer’s business, including any legally required codes of conduct, including those relating to privacy, security and data protection. The Asset Representations Reviewer will protect and secure the Issuer PII. The Asset Representations Reviewer will implement privacy or data protection policies and procedures that comply with applicable law and this Agreement. The Asset Representations Reviewer will implement and maintain reasonable and appropriate practices, procedures and systems, including administrative, technical and physical safeguards designed to (i) protect the security, confidentiality and integrity of Issuer PII, (ii) ensure against anticipated threats or hazards to the security or integrity of Issuer PII, (iii) protect against unauthorized access to or use of Issuer PII and (iv) otherwise comply with its obligations under this Agreement. These safeguards include a written data security plan, employee training, information access controls, restricted disclosures, systems protections (e.g., intrusion protection, data storage protection and data transmission protection) and physical security measures.

(d) Information. The Asset Representations Reviewer agrees to provide the Issuer with information regarding its privacy and information security systems, policies and procedures

as the Issuer may reasonably request relating to compliance with this Agreement and applicable Privacy Laws. The Asset Representations Reviewer shall provide training in the Privacy Laws and the Asset Representations Reviewer’s information security policies to all personnel whose duties pursuant to this Agreement could bring them in contact with Personally Identifiable Information.

(e) Breach. The Asset Representations Reviewer will notify the Issuer and the Servicer promptly in the event of an actual or reasonably suspected security breach, unauthorized access, misappropriation or other compromise of the security, confidentiality or integrity of Issuer PII and, where applicable, immediately take action to prevent any further breach. In the event of any actual or apparent theft, unauthorized use or disclosure of any Personally Identifiable Information, the Asset Representations Reviewer will commence all reasonable efforts to investigate and correct the causes and remediate the results thereof, and as soon as practicable following discovery of any such event, provide the Issuer notice thereof, and such further information and assistance as may be reasonably requested.

Where the Asset Representations Reviewer retains Issuer PII, the Asset Representations Reviewer will limit the Asset Representations Reviewer’s further use or disclosure of Issuer PII to that required by applicable law.

(g) Compliance; Modification. The Asset Representations Reviewer will cooperate with and provide information to the Issuer regarding the Asset Representations Reviewer’s compliance with this Section 7.02. The Asset Representations Reviewer, the Issuer and the Servicer agree to modify this Section 7.02 as necessary for either party to comply with applicable law.

(h) Audit of Asset Representations Reviewer. The Asset Representations Reviewer will permit the Issuer, the Servicer and their respective authorized representatives to audit the Asset Representations Reviewer’s compliance with this Section 7.02 during the Asset Representations Reviewer’s normal business hours on reasonable advance notice to the Asset Representations Reviewer, and not more than once during any year unless circumstances necessitate additional audits. The Issuer and the Servicer agree to make reasonable efforts to schedule any audit described in this Section 7.02 with the inspections described in Section 5.03. The Asset Representations Reviewer will also permit the Issuer during normal business hours on reasonable advance written notice to audit any service providers used by the Asset Representations Reviewer to fulfill the Asset Representations Reviewer’s obligations under this Agreement.

(i) Affiliates and Third Parties. If the Asset Representations Reviewer processes the Issuer PII of the Issuer’s Affiliates or a third party when performing a Review, and if such Affiliate or third party is identified to the Asset Representations Reviewer, such Affiliate

or third party is an intended third-party beneficiary of this Section 7.02, and this Agreement is intended to benefit the Affiliate or third party.
