 ARTICLE THREE

(a) The Seller hereby makes to the Issuer each of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.02 and 3.03 of the Receivables
Purchase Agreement as of the date specified therein and consents to the assignment by the Depositor to the Issuer of such representations and warranties and of the Depositor’s rights with respect to any breach thereof, including the right to
require the Seller to repurchase Receivables in accordance with the Receivables Purchase Agreement. Such representations and warranties speak as of the execution and delivery of this Agreement or as of such other date specified therein and shall
survive the sale, transfer and assignment of the Receivables to the Issuer and the pledge and/or assignment, as the case may be, of the Receivables to the Indenture Trustee. 

(b) Pursuant to Section 2.01, the Depositor has sold, assigned, transferred and conveyed to the Issuer all of its rights under the
Receivables Purchase Agreement, including the representations, warranties and covenants of the Seller. Each of the Depositor and the Seller acknowledges that the Issuer is relying on such representations and warranties in accepting the Depositor
Conveyed Assets, together with all rights of the Depositor with respect to any breach thereof, including the right to require the Seller to repurchase the 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 of the Conveyed Assets to the Issuer and the delivery thereof to the Custodian. 

(c) The Seller acknowledges the assignment of the Conveyed Assets from the Depositor to the Issuer and Indenture Trustee and hereby agrees that
the Issuer and Indenture Trustee 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 Section 3.03 of the Receivables Purchase Agreement and Section 3.01(a). Such right may be enforced by the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee directly against the Seller
as though the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee were each a party to the Receivables Purchase Agreement, and the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee shall not be obligated to exercise any such rights, and shall have no liability for failing to exercise
any such rights, indirectly through the Depositor. 
 Section 3.02. Representations and Warranties of the Depositor. The
Depositor represents and warrants with respect to the Receivables being conveyed by it to the Issuer, on which the Issuer relies in accepting such Receivables: 

(a) This Agreement creates a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the applicable UCC) in the Receivables in
favor of the Issuer, which security interest is prior to all other Liens, and is enforceable as such against creditors of and purchasers from the Depositor. 

  
 4 








 (b) The Depositor has taken all steps necessary to perfect its security interest
against the Obligors in the Financed Vehicles. 
 (c) The Receivables constitute “tangible chattel paper” or
“electronic chattel paper” under the applicable UCC; as of the Cutoff Date, no more than 10% of the Pool Balance is represented by Receivables constituting “electronic chattel paper,” and at least 90% of the Pool Balance is
represented by Receivables constituting “tangible chattel paper.” 
 (d) The Depositor owns and has good and
marketable title to the Receivables free and clear of any Lien, claim or encumbrance of any Person. 
 (e) The Depositor has
received a written acknowledgment from the Servicer that the Servicer is holding the loan agreements and installment sale contracts that constitute or evidence the Receivables solely on behalf and for the benefit of the Issuer. 

(f) Other than the security interest granted to the Depositor 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
covering the Receivables other than any financing statement relating to the security interest granted to the Issuer hereunder or that has been terminated. The Depositor is not aware of any judgment or tax lien filings against the Depositor. 

(g) None of the installment sale contracts that constitute or evidence the Receivables has any marks or notations indicating
that they have been pledged, assigned, or otherwise conveyed by the Depositor to any Person other than the Purchaser. 
 Notwithstanding the
foregoing, so long as Standard & Poor’s is a Rating Agency, the representations and warranties set forth in this Section (i) may not be waived and (ii) will survive the termination of this Agreement until the Indenture has
been discharged. 
 Section 3.03. Repurchase of Receivables Upon Breach. 

(a) Investigation of Breach. If a Responsible Officer of the either the Seller or the Depositor (i) has knowledge of a breach of a
representation or warranty made in Section 3.03 of the Receivables Purchase Agreement or Section 3.02 of this Agreement, (ii) receives notice from the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee of a breach of a representation
or warranty made in Section 3.03 of the Receivables Purchase Agreement or Section 3.02 of this Agreement, (iii) receives a Repurchase Request from the Owner Trustee, a Note Owner, a Noteholder or the Indenture Trustee for a Receivable
or (iv) receives a Review Report that indicates a Test Fail for a Receivable, then, in each case, the Seller or the Depositor will investigate the Receivable to confirm the breach and determine if the breach has a material adverse effect on the
Receivable. None of the Servicer, the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Administrator or the Asset Representations Reviewer will have an obligation to investigate whether a breach of any representation or warranty has occurred or
whether any Receivable is required to be repurchased under this Section. 

  
 5 








 (b) Repurchase of Receivables; Payment of Purchase Price. Either of the Seller or the
Depositor may, and if the breach has a material adverse effect on the Receivable will, repurchase the Receivable described in Section 3.03(a) by paying the Purchase Price to the Issuer on the Business Day before the Payment Date (or, with
satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition, on the Payment Date) related to the Collection Period in which the Seller or the Depositor, as applicable, has knowledge or was notified of and confirmed the breach or, at the Seller’s or
Depositor’s option, as applicable, on the following Payment Date, unless the breach is cured in all material respects before that Payment Date. 

(c) Sale and Assignment of Repurchased Receivable. When the Purchase Price is included in Available Collections for a Payment Date, the
Issuer will, without further action, be deemed to have sold and assigned to the Depositor, effective as of the last day of the Collection Period before the related Collection Period, all of the Issuer’s right, title and interest in the
Receivable repurchased by the Depositor under this Section and all security and documents relating to the Receivable. The sale will not require any action by the Issuer and will be without recourse, representation or warranty by the Issuer except
the representation that the Issuer owns the Receivable free and clear of any Lien, other than Permitted Liens. On the sale, the Servicer will mark its receivables systems to indicate that the receivable is no longer a Receivable and may take any
action necessary or advisable to evidence the sale of the receivable, free from any Lien of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee. 
 (d)
Repurchase Sole Remedy. The sole remedy of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Note Owners or the Noteholders with respect to a breach of a representation or warranty referred to in Section 3.01(a) with respect to a breach of a
representation or warranty contained in Section 3.03 of the Receivables Purchase Agreement, provided neither such breach has been cured pursuant to Section 3.03(b), shall be to require the Seller or the Depositor to purchase such
Receivable pursuant to this Section (it being understood that the indemnification covenants of the Seller hereunder and under the other Basic Documents shall still apply notwithstanding this subclause). 

Section 3.04. Dispute Resolution. 

(a) Referral to Dispute Resolution. If the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee (acting as Requesting Party on behalf of the
Issuer and only at the direction of the Noteholders), a Note Owner or a Noteholder (the “Requesting Party”) requests that the Depositor and/or the Seller repurchase a Receivable due to an alleged breach of a representation and
warranty in Section 3.02 of this Agreement or in Section 3.03 of the Receivables Purchase Agreement (each, a “Repurchase Request”), and the Repurchase Request has not been resolved within 180 days of the receipt of notice
of the Repurchase Request by the Depositor or the Seller, the Requesting Party may refer the matter, in its discretion, to either mediation (including non-binding arbitration) or binding third-party arbitration; provided, however, that if the
Indenture Trustee is the Requesting Party, the directing Noteholder shall determine the referral to such mediation or arbitration. The Requesting Party must start the mediation or arbitration proceeding according to the ADR Rules of the ADR
Organization within 90 days after the end of the 180-

  
 6 








 
day period. The Depositor and the Seller agree to participate in the dispute resolution method selected by the Requesting Party. For the avoidance of doubt, the Indenture Trustee shall be under
no obligation under any other Basic Document or otherwise to monitor repurchase activity or to independently determine which Repurchase Requests remain unresolved after 180 days. 

(b) Mediation. If the Requesting Party selects mediation for dispute resolution: 

(i) The mediation will be administered by the ADR Organization using its ADR Rules. However, if any ADR Rules are inconsistent
with the procedures for mediation stated in this Section, the procedures in this Section will control. 
 (ii) A single
mediator will be selected by the ADR Organization from a list of neutrals maintained by it according to the ADR Rules. The mediator must be impartial, an attorney admitted to practice in the State of New York and have at least 15 years of experience
in commercial litigation and, if possible, consumer finance or asset-backed securitization matters. 
 (iii) The mediation
will start within 15 days after the selection of the mediator and conclude within 30 days after the start of the mediation. 

(iv) Expenses of the mediation will be allocated to the parties as mutually agreed by them as part of the mediation. 

(v) If the parties fail to agree at the completion of the mediation, the Requesting Party may refer the Repurchase Request to
arbitration under this Section. 
 (c) Arbitration. If the Requesting Party selects arbitration for dispute resolution: 

(i) The arbitration will be administered by the ADR Organization using its ADR Rules. However, if any ADR Rules are
inconsistent with the procedures for arbitration stated in this Section, the procedures in this Section will control. 
 (ii)
A single arbitrator will be selected by the ADR Organization from a list of neutrals maintained by it according to the ADR Rules. The arbitrator must be impartial, an attorney admitted to practice in the State of New York and have at least 15 years
of experience in commercial litigation and, if possible, consumer finance or asset-backed securitization matters. The arbitrator will be independent and impartial and will comply with the Code of Ethics for Arbitrators in Commercial Disputes in
effect at the time of the arbitration. Before accepting an appointment, the arbitrator must promptly disclose any circumstances likely to create a reasonable inference of bias or conflict of interest or likely to preclude completion of the
proceedings within the stated time schedule. The arbitrator may be removed by the ADR Organization for cause consisting of actual bias, conflict of interest or other serious potential for conflict. 

  
 7 








 (iii) The arbitrator will have the authority to schedule, hear and determine any
motions, including dispositive and discovery motions, according to New York law, and will do so at the motion of any party. Discovery will be completed with 30 days of selection of the arbitrator and will be limited for each party to two witness
depositions not to exceed five hours, two interrogatories, one document request and one request for admissions. However, the arbitrator may grant additional discovery on a showing of good cause that the additional discovery is reasonable and
necessary. Briefs will be limited to no more than ten pages each, and will be limited to initial statements of the case, discovery motions and a pre-hearing brief. The evidentiary hearing on the merits will start no later than 60 days after
selection of the arbitrator and will proceed for no more than six consecutive Business Days with equal time allocated to each party for the presentation of direct evidence and cross examination. The arbitrator may allow additional time for discovery
and hearings on a showing of good cause or due to unavoidable delays. 
 (iv) The arbitrator will make its final
determination in writing no later than 90 days after its selection. The arbitrator will resolve the dispute according to the terms of this Agreement and the other Basic Documents, and may not modify or change this Agreement or the other Basic
Documents in any way. The arbitrator will not have the power to award punitive damages or consequential damages in any arbitration conducted by them. In its final determination, the arbitrator will determine and award the expenses of the arbitration
(including filing fees, the fees of the arbitrator, expense of any record or transcript of the arbitration and administrative fees) to the parties in its reasonable discretion. Under no circumstances will the Indenture Trustee be liable for any
costs, expenses and/or liabilities that could be allocated to the Requesting Party in any dispute resolution proceeding. The determination of the arbitrator will be in writing and counterpart copies will be promptly delivered to the parties. The
determination will be final and non-appealable, except for actions to confirm or vacate the determination permitted under federal or State law, and may be entered and enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. 

(v) By selecting arbitration, the Requesting Party is giving up the right to sue in court, including the right to a trial by
jury. 
 (vi) The Requesting Party may not bring a putative or certificated class action to arbitration. If this waiver of
class action rights is found to be unenforceable for any reason, the Requesting Party agrees that it will bring its claims in a court of competent jurisdiction. 

(d) Additional Conditions. For each mediation or arbitration: 

(i) Any mediation or arbitration will be held in New York, New York at the offices of the mediator or arbitrator or at another
location selected by the Depositor or the Seller. Any party or witness may participate by teleconference or video conference. 

(ii) The Depositor, the Seller and the Requesting Party will have the right to seek provisional relief from a competent court
of law, including a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction or attachment order, if such relief is available by law. 

  
 8 








 (iii) Neither the Depositor nor the Seller will be required to produce personally
identifiable customer information for purposes of any mediation or arbitration. The existence and details of any unresolved Repurchase Request, any informal meetings, mediations or arbitration proceedings, the nature and amount of any relief sought
or granted, any offers or statements made and any discovery taken in the proceeding will be confidential, privileged and inadmissible for any purpose in any other mediation, arbitration, litigation or other proceeding. The parties will keep this
information confidential and will not disclose or discuss it with any third party (other than a party’s attorneys, experts, accountants and other advisors, as reasonably required in connection with the mediation or arbitration proceeding under
this Section), except as required by law, regulatory requirement or court order. If a party to a mediation or arbitration proceeding receives a subpoena or other request for information from a third party (other than a Governmental Authority) for
confidential information of the other party to the mediation or arbitration proceeding, the recipient will promptly notify the other party and will provide the other party with the opportunity to object to the production of its confidential
information. 
 Section 3.05. Appointment of Custodian; Custody and Delivery of Receivable Files. To assure uniform quality in
servicing the Receivables and to reduce administrative costs, the Issuer hereby appoints the Servicer, and the Servicer hereby accepts such appointment, to act for the benefit of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee as Custodian of the Receivable
Files which are constructively delivered by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee on the Closing Date. 
 Section 3.06. Duties of
Servicer as Custodian. 
 (a) Safekeeping. The Servicer, in its capacity as Custodian, shall hold each Receivable File as
Custodian for the benefit of and as bailee of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, and shall maintain such accurate and complete accounts, records and computer systems pertaining to each Receivable File as shall enable the Servicer and the Issuer
to comply with this Agreement and the Indenture Trustee to comply with the Indenture. In performing its duties as Custodian, the Servicer shall act with reasonable care, and in accordance with the Servicing Standard. The Servicer shall conduct, or
cause to be conducted, periodic audits of the Receivable Files held by it as Custodian under this Agreement and of the related accounts, records and computer systems, in such a manner as shall enable the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee to verify the
accuracy of the Servicer’s record keeping, and the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee shall not be obligated to exercise any such rights, and shall have no liability for failing to exercise any such rights, to so verify the accuracy of the
Servicer’s record keeping. The Servicer shall promptly report to the Issuer and the Trustees any failure on its part to hold the Receivable Files and maintain its accounts, records and computer systems as herein provided and shall promptly take
appropriate action to remedy any such failure. Nothing herein shall be deemed to require an initial review or any periodic review by the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or any Backup Servicer of the Receivable Files. 

  
 9 








 (b) Maintenance of and Access to Receivable Files. The Servicer shall maintain each
Receivable File at one of the locations specified in Exhibit A or at such other location as shall be specified to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and any Backup Servicer by written notice not later than 30 days after any change in location.
Upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, any Backup Servicer and each Rating Agency, the Servicer may appoint an Affiliate to act as a sub-custodian to maintain up to all Receivable Files at one or
more locations identified in such notice, provided, however, if either Rating Agency shall object in writing to such appointment, such appointment shall not be made and no Receivable File shall be maintained by such Affiliate. Any such Affiliate so
appointed shall execute an agreement with the Servicer obligating the Affiliate to perform all functions otherwise required of the Servicer herein when acting as Custodian. The Servicer shall remain liable as Custodian notwithstanding the
appointment of an Affiliate as sub-custodian and the maintenance by such Affiliate of Receivable Files. The Servicer may temporarily move individual Receivable Files or any portion thereof without notice as necessary to conduct collection and other
servicing activities in accordance with its customary practices and procedures. Upon reasonable notice by the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer shall make available to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee or their duly authorized
representatives, attorneys or auditors a list of locations of the Receivable Files and the related accounts, records and computer systems maintained by the Servicer at such times during normal business hours as the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee
shall reasonably request. 
 (c) Release of Documents. As soon as practicable after receiving a reasonably written request from the
Indenture Trustee or, if the aggregate Note Balance has been reduced to zero, from the Owner Trustee, the Custodian shall release any Receivable File to the requesting Trustee or to its agent or designee, at such place or places as the requesting
Trustee may reasonably designate. Upon the release and delivery of any such document in accordance with the instructions of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee, as the case may be, the Custodian shall be released from any further liability
and responsibility under this Section with respect to such documents and any other provision of this Agreement or any of the other Basic Documents if the fulfillment of the Custodian’s responsibilities is dependent upon possession of such
documents, unless and until such time as such documents shall be returned to the Custodian. In no event shall the Servicer or the Custodian be responsible for any loss occasioned by either Trustee’s failure to return any Receivable File or any
portion thereof in a timely manner. 
 (d) Title to Receivables. The Servicer shall not at any time have, or in any way attempt to
assert, any interest in any Receivable held by it as Custodian hereunder or in the related Receivable File, other than for collecting or enforcing such Receivable for the benefit of the Issuer. The entire equitable interest in such Receivable and
the related Receivable File shall at all times be vested in the Issuer. 
 (e) Independent Contractor. For all purposes of this
Agreement, the Custodian shall be an independent contractor and shall not be subject to the supervision of the Issuer or either Trustee with respect to the manner in which it accomplishes the performance of its obligations hereunder. Unless
expressly set forth herein or otherwise authorized by the Issuer, the Custodian shall have no authority to act for or represent the Issuer, either Trustee or any Noteholder in any way and shall not otherwise be deemed an agent of the Issuer, either
Trustee or any Noteholder. 

  
 10 








 Section 3.07. Instructions; Authority to Act. The Servicer shall be deemed to have
received proper instructions with respect to the Receivable Files upon its receipt of written instructions signed by a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee, or, if the aggregate Note Balance has been reduced to zero, by a Responsible Officer
of the Owner Trustee. A certified copy of excerpts of authorizing resolutions of the board of directors of a Trustee shall constitute conclusive evidence of the authority of the related Responsible Officer to act and shall be considered in full
force and effect until receipt by the Servicer of written notice to the contrary given by such Trustee. 
 Section 3.08.
Custodian’s Indemnification. 
 (a) The Custodian shall indemnify the Issuer, the Trustees, any Backup Servicer and each of their
respective officers, directors, employees and agents for any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, compensatory damages, payments, costs or expenses of any kind whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against them as the
result of any improper act or omission in any way relating to the maintenance and custody by the Custodian of the Receivable Files, including legal fees and expenses incurred in connection with any action or suit brought by the Trustees to enforce
any indemnification or other obligation of the Custodian; provided, however, that the Custodian shall not be so liable for any portion of any such amount resulting from (i) actions taken by the Custodian pursuant to instructions as provided in
Section 3.07, (ii) release and delivery of documents by the Custodian as provided in Section 3.06(c) or (iii) the willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence of any such Person listed above, or any such officer, director,
employee or agent of such Person. 
 (b) Indemnification under this Section shall survive the resignation or removal of the Custodian or
the termination of this Agreement with respect to acts or omissions of the Custodian preceding such resignation or removal or termination and shall include reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and expenses of litigation. If the Custodian shall
have made any indemnity payments pursuant to this Section and the Person to or on behalf of whom such payments are made thereafter collects any of such amounts from others, such Person shall promptly repay such amounts to the Custodian. 

Section 3.09. Effective Period and Termination. The Servicer’s appointment as Custodian shall become effective as of the
Closing Date and shall continue in full force and effect unless and until terminated pursuant to this Section or Section 8.02(a). If the Servicer or any successor Servicer shall resign as Servicer in accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement or if all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer or any successor Servicer are terminated under Section 8.02(a), the appointment of the Servicer as Custodian shall be terminated. The Indenture Trustee or, with the consent of
the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee may terminate the Servicer’s appointment as Custodian, with cause, at any time upon written notification to the Servicer. As soon as practicable after any termination of such appointment (but in no event
more than five Business Days after any such termination of appointment), the Custodian shall deliver the Receivable Files to the Indenture Trustee or its agent at such place or places as the Indenture Trustee may reasonably designate.
Notwithstanding the termination of the Servicer as Custodian, the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer agree that, upon any such termination and for so long as the Servicer may not be acting as Custodian hereunder, the Indenture Trustee or the Issuer,
as the case may be, shall provide, or 

  
 11 








 
cause its agent to provide, access to the Receivable Files to the Servicer for the purpose of enabling the Servicer to perform its obligations under this Agreement with respect to the servicing
of the Receivables. 
 Section 3.10. Risk Retention. The Seller, as sponsor, shall retain an economic interest in a material
portion of the credit risk of the Receivables, which interest retention obligation may be satisfied by retaining a representative sample of the Receivables having a principal balance equal to not less than 5% of the Cutoff Date Pool Balance. This
retained interest may not be sold, pledged or hedged, except for the hedging of interest rate or currency risk, during the term of the transactions contemplated hereby. 

  
 12 








 ARTICLE FOUR 

ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF RECEIVABLES 

Section 4.01. Duties of Servicer. 

(a) The Servicer, for the benefit of the Issuer, shall manage, service, administer and make collections on the Receivables and perform the
other actions required by the Servicer under this Agreement. The Servicer shall be required to service the Receivables in accordance with reasonable care but in no event less than the care that the Servicer exercises with respect to all comparable
motor vehicle retail installment sale contracts and installment loans that it services for itself or others or the procedures employed by banking institutions that service motor vehicle retail installment sale contracts or installment loans for
their own account or for the account of third parties (the “Servicing Standard”). CRB agrees that for so long as it is the Servicer, the Servicing Standard shall be consistent in all material respects with the servicing standards with
respect to motor vehicle retail installment sale contracts and installment loans for which CRB or any of its Affiliates is the owner or the appointed servicer from time to time. 

(b) The Servicer’s duties shall include the collection and posting of all payments on the Receivables, responding to inquiries of Obligors
or by Governmental Authorities with respect to the Receivables, investigating delinquencies, sending payment coupons to Obligors, reporting tax information to Obligors in accordance with its customary practices, policing the collateral, accounting
for collections, furnishing monthly and annual statements to the Trustees with respect to distributions, providing collection and repossession services in the event of an Obligor default and performing the other duties specified herein. The Servicer
also shall administer and enforce all rights of the Issuer as holder of the Receivables and the Indenture Trustee as pledgee of the Receivables and shall enforce the provisions of the applicable Dealer Agreements and assignment forms. To the extent
consistent with the Servicing Standard, 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 reasonably in good faith in accordance with the Servicing Standard deem necessary or desirable. 

(c) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of
itself and any one or more of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee 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; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall not, except (i) pursuant to an order from a court of competent jurisdiction or a directive from an arbitrator in
an arbitration proceeding or (ii) in settlement of a legal proceeding in court or in arbitration in a manner consistent with the applicable Servicing Standard or (iii) otherwise in accordance with the Servicing Standard, and except as
provided in Section 4.02(c), execute documents that would release an Obligor from payment of any unpaid amount due under any Receivable, reduce the related APR on a Receivable, waive the right to collect the unpaid balance of any Receivable
from the related Obligor, release any Obligor from its obligations with respect to a Receivable or extend the final payment date under any Receivable beyond the Class C Final Scheduled Payment Date. 

  
 13 








 (d) The Servicer is hereby authorized to commence, in its own name or in the name of the Issuer,
a legal proceeding to enforce the rights of the Issuer under any Contract 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 Issuer shall thereupon be deemed to have automatically assigned the applicable Receivable and the other property conveyed pursuant to
Section 2.01 with respect to such Receivables to the Servicer, solely for purposes of commencing or participating in any such Proceeding as a party or claimant, and the Servicer is authorized and empowered by the Issuer to execute and deliver
in the Servicer’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 the rights of the Issuer under the Receivables on the grounds that it shall not be a real party in interest or a holder entitled to enforce such Receivables, the Owner Trustee shall, subject to the terms of the Trust Agreement, at
the Servicer’s expense and direction, take steps to enforce such Receivables, including bringing suit in the name of the Servicer or the Issuer on behalf of the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders, the Certificateholders or
any of them. The Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee shall, upon the written request of the Servicer, furnish the Servicer as soon as practicable with any powers of attorney and other documents (in a form acceptable to the Indenture Trustee or
the Owner Trustee, as applicable) reasonably necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder. 

(e) The Servicer, at its expense, shall obtain on behalf of the Issuer all licenses, if any, required by the laws of any jurisdiction to be
held by the Issuer in connection with the ownership of the Receivables and shall make all filings and pay all fees as may be required in connection therewith during the term of this Agreement. The Servicer shall, or shall cause the Administrator to,
prepare, execute and deliver all certificates or other documents required to be delivered by the Issuer pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. 

(f) For all purposes of this Agreement, the Servicer shall be an independent contractor and shall not be subject to the supervision of the
Issuer or either Trustee with respect to the manner in which it accomplishes the performance of its obligations hereunder. Unless expressly set forth herein or otherwise authorized by the Issuer, the Servicer shall have no authority to act for or
represent the Issuer, either Trustee or any Noteholder in any way and shall not otherwise be deemed an agent of the Issuer, either Trustee or any Noteholder. 

Section 4.02. Collection of Payments on Receivables; Receivable Modifications. 

(a) The Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Contracts as and when
the same shall become due, in accordance with the Servicing Standard. 
 (b) (i) The Servicer may grant payment extensions and holidays on
the Receivables in accordance with the Servicing Standard and as required by Applicable Law; provided, however, that no such extension shall extend the final payment date on any Receivable beyond the last day of the Collection Period immediately
preceding the Class C Final Scheduled Payment Date, and 

  
 14 








 
(ii) upon any extension of a Receivable not in accordance with Section 4.02(b)(i) or upon the reduction of the APR or Principal Balance of any Receivable other than as required by
Applicable Law (including by the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act, the California Military Families Financial Relief Act or similar State law), the Servicer shall be required to purchase the related Receivable in accordance with Section 4.07.

 (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer is authorized in its discretion to grant a Small Balance Waiver with respect to any
Receivable, and 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. 

Section 4.03. Realization upon Receivables. 

(a) Consistent with the Servicing Standard, the Servicer shall use commercially 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. The Servicer shall begin such repossession and conversion procedures as soon as
practicable after default on such Receivable in accordance with the Servicing Standard; provided, however, that the Servicer will not repossess or otherwise convert the ownership of a Financed Vehicle within such time period if it calculates that
the proceeds ultimately recoverable with respect to the related Receivable would be increased by forbearance. In repossessing or otherwise converting the ownership of a Financed Vehicle and liquidating the related Receivable, the Servicer is
authorized to follow such customary practices and procedures as it shall reasonably deem necessary or advisable, consistent with the Servicing Standard, which practices and procedures may include the sale of the 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 such 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 expenses incurred by it that are reasonably allocated to repossessing and liquidating a Financed Vehicle into cash proceeds (other
than overhead), but only out of the cash proceeds of the sale of such Financed Vehicle or any deficiency obtained from the related Obligor. 

(b) If the Servicer elects to commence a Proceeding to enforce a Dealer Agreement, the act of commencement shall be deemed to be an automatic
assignment from the Issuer to the Servicer of the rights of recourse under such Dealer Agreement. If, however, in any Proceeding, it is held that the Servicer may not enforce a Dealer Agreement on the grounds that it is not a real party in interest
or a Person entitled to enforce the Dealer Agreement, the Owner Trustee, at the Servicer’s expense and direction, shall take such steps as the Servicer deems necessary to enforce the Dealer Agreement, including bringing suit in its name or the
names of the Indenture Trustee, not in its individual capacity, but solely as Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Issuer, the Securityholders or any of them. 

  
 15 








 Section 4.04. Physical Damage Insurance. The Servicer shall, in accordance with the
Servicing Standard, require that each Obligor shall have obtained physical loss damage insurance covering the related Financed Vehicle as of the execution of the related Contract. 

Section 4.05. Maintenance of Security Interests in Financed Vehicles; Other Amounts. The Servicer shall, in accordance with the
Servicing Standard, take such steps as are necessary to maintain the perfection of the security interest created by each Receivable in the related Financed Vehicle. 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 the Servicer receives notice of, or otherwise has actual knowledge of, the fact that such security interest is not perfected as a result 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 to grant to the Issuer a first priority
perfected security interest in the related Financed Vehicle, each of the Servicer and CRB hereby agree that the designation of CRB as the secured party on such certificate of title is solely in its capacity as agent of the Issuer. The Servicer shall
not release, in whole or in part, any security interest in a Financed Vehicle created by the related Receivable except as permitted herein or in accordance with its customary standards, policies, practices and procedures, including the payment in
full by the Obligor of all amounts payable pursuant to that Receivable. 
 Section 4.06. Covenants of Servicer. The Servicer
makes the following covenants: 
 (a) Liens in Force. No Financed Vehicle securing a Receivable shall be released in
whole or in part from the security interest granted by the related Obligor, except upon payment in full of such Receivable (subject to any Small Balance Waiver), or as otherwise contemplated by this Agreement or by Applicable Law. 

(b) No Impairment. The Servicer shall do nothing to impair the rights of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee in the
property of the Issuer. 
 (c) No Amendments. The Servicer shall not extend or otherwise amend the terms of any
Receivable, except in accordance with the Servicing Standard, Section 4.01(c) and Section 4.02. 
 (d)
Compliance with Agreement, Basic Documents and Applicable Law. The Servicer shall comply with its obligations under this Agreement and the other Servicer Basic Documents. The Servicer shall comply with all Applicable Law where the failure to
do so could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (e) Arm’s Length. With respect to its
obligations in connection with the Conveyed Assets, the Servicer shall transact and deal with its Affiliates on an arm’s-length basis. 

(f) Licenses and Approvals. The Servicer shall ensure that it has and maintains all licenses and approvals necessary for
the conduct of its business in the jurisdictions where the Financed Vehicles are located. 

  
 16 








 (g) Restrictions on Liens. The Servicer shall not (i) create, incur
or suffer to exist, or agree to create, incur or suffer to exist, or consent to or permit in the future (upon the occurrence of a contingency or otherwise) the creation, incurrence or existence of any Lien (other than suffering to exist any tax
liens, mechanics’ liens and any other liens that attach to property by operation of law (including statutory purchase liens) to the extent the applicable obligations are not past due) on or restriction on transferability of any Receivable
except for the Lien of the Indenture and the restrictions on transferability imposed by this Agreement or (ii) other than as contemplated herein or in the Indenture, file or authorize the filing in any jurisdiction of any UCC financing
statement that names CRB, the Depositor or any other Person as a debtor, and any Person other than the Depositor, the Indenture Trustee or the Issuer as a secured party, or sign any security agreement authorizing any secured party thereunder to file
any such financing statement, in each case with respect to the Receivables. 
 Section 4.07. Purchase of Receivables by Servicer
upon Breach of Covenant. Upon discovery by any of the Servicer, the Seller, the Depositor, the Issuer or a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee of a breach of any of the covenants set forth in Sections 4.02(b), 4.05 or 4.06,
the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other parties hereto; provided, however, that the failure to give any such notice shall not affect any obligation of the Servicer under this Section. Within 30 days of the
discovery or notice of such breach, the Servicer shall use its best efforts to cure such breach so that it does not materially and adversely affect the interest of the Issuer in the related Receivables. On or before the Payment Date immediately
following the end of the Collection Period in which the 30-day cure period referred to above has ended, the Servicer shall, unless such breach shall have been cured by such date, purchase from the Issuer the Receivables affected by such breach. In
consideration of the purchase of such Receivables, the Servicer shall remit the related Purchase Price into the Collection Account, with written notice to the Indenture Trustee of such deposit, in the manner specified in Section 5.05. Subject
to Section 7.03, it is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Servicer to purchase any Receivables with respect to which such a breach has occurred and is continuing shall, if such obligation is fulfilled, constitute the sole remedy
against the Servicer for such breach available to the Issuer, the Trustees or the Securityholders. The sole remedy of the Issuer, the Trustees and the Securityholders with respect to a breach of Sections 4.02(b), 4.05 or 4.06 shall be to
require the Servicer to repurchase Receivables pursuant to this Section. 
 Section 4.08. Servicing Fee. The Servicing Fee shall
be payable to the Servicer on each Payment Date. That part of the Servicing Fee that is based on the Servicing Fee Rate shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. The Servicer shall be required to pay all
expenses (apart from expenses incurred in accordance with the Servicing Standard in connection with liquidating a Financed Vehicle related to a Defaulted Receivable, such as auction, painting, repair or refurbishment in respect of that Financed
Vehicle) incurred by it in connection with its activities under this Agreement (including taxes imposed on the Servicer, expenses incurred in connection with distributions and reports made by the Servicer to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture
Trustee and any fees and expenses of sub-servicers to whom it has delegated servicing responsibilities). As additional servicing compensation, the Servicer shall be entitled to keep all Supplemental Servicing Fees. 

  
 17 








 Section 4.09. Servicer’s Monthly Certificate. Not later than 10:00 a.m.
(New York City time) on each Determination Date, the Servicer shall deliver to the Depositor, the Seller and the Trustees, with a copy to each Rating Agency, a Servicer’s Monthly Certificate containing all information necessary to make the
payments to be made on the related Payment Date pursuant to Section 5.04 hereof or Section 5.04(b) of the Indenture for the related Collection Period and any other information the Indenture Trustee may reasonably request. Such
Servicer’s Monthly Certificate shall be certified by a Responsible Officer of the Servicer that the information provided is complete, accurate and no event has occurred that, with notice or passage of time, would be an Event of Default or a
Servicer Termination Event. The Servicer shall also specify to the Trustees, no later than the Determination Date following the last day of a Collection Period, in a written notice to the Depositor and the Trustees, the Receivables to be repurchased
by the Seller or purchased by the Servicer, as the case may be, for the related Collection Period. 
 Section 4.10. Annual Statement
as to Compliance; Notice of Servicer Termination Event. 
 (a) The Servicer shall deliver to the Depositor, the Indenture Trustee and
each Rating Agency, prior to March 31 of each calendar year, beginning with March 31, 2017, an Officer’s Certificate (the “Servicer’s Annual Certification”) in substantially the form of Exhibit C. 

(b) The Servicer shall deliver to the Depositor, the Trustees and each Rating Agency, promptly after having obtained knowledge thereof, but in
no event later than two Business Days thereafter, written notice in an Officer’s Certificate of any event that is, or with the giving of notice or lapse of time or both would become, a Servicer Termination Event. 

(c) Prior to March 31 of each calendar year, beginning with March 31, 2017, the Servicer shall deliver to the Depositor, the Owner
Trustee and the Administrator and any other Person that will be responsible for signing the certification required by Rules 13a-14(d) and 15d-14(d) under the Exchange Act (pursuant to Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act) on behalf of the
Issuer with respect to a securitization transaction a certification in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D. 
 Section 4.11.
Annual Independent Accountants’ Report; Attestation and Assessment of Compliance. 
 (a) Prior to March 31 of each calendar
year, beginning with March 31, 2017, the Servicer shall cause a firm of independent certified public accountants that is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and is independent of the Seller, the Depositor and the
Servicer within the meaning of the Code of Professional Ethics of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, to furnish a report to the Depositor, the Trustees and each Rating Agency to the effect that such firm has examined the
documents or records of the Servicer relating to the Receivables and that such examination (i) was made in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and (ii) included tests relating to motor vehicle retail installment sale
contracts and installment loans serviced for others and that such firm is of the opinion that the provisions of this Agreement have been complied with during the preceding calendar year (or, with respect to the first report, the period from the
Closing Date to December 31 of such year), and that, on the basis of such examination, nothing has come to their 

  
 18 








 
attention that would indicate that such servicing has not been conducted in compliance therewith during such calendar year or other period, except for (A) such exceptions as such firm shall
believe to be immaterial and (B) such other exceptions as shall be set forth in such statement; provided, however, that the Servicer shall direct the Indenture Trustee in writing to enter into any agreed upon procedure letter that may be
executed in connection with any accountant’s report issued hereunder and the Indenture Trustee shall have no liability in connection with any such accountant’s report or the content of any such agreed upon procedure letter; provided,
further, that, if at any time a Backup Servicer is acting as Servicer, it may satisfy the obligations set forth in this Section, by delivering on an annual basis a report prepared with respect to it in accordance with SSAE 16, such report to be
provided by such Backup Servicer under this Section within 30 days of its receipt of such report; and provided, further, it being understood and agreed that the Indenture Trustee will deliver such letter of agreement in conclusive reliance upon the
direction of the Servicer, and the Indenture Trustee shall not have made any independent inquiry or investigation as to, and shall have no obligation or liability in respect of, the sufficiency, validity or correctness of such procedures. To the
extent the Indenture Trustee is required to agree to the procedures in order to receive the accountants’ report, such agreement may include, among other things, (1) an acknowledgement that the Servicer has agreed that the procedures to be
performed by the firm are sufficient for the purposes of the Indenture and that such procedures are sufficient for the Indenture Trustee’s purposes which are specifically limited to receipt of the accountants’ report, (2) releases by
the Indenture Trustee (on behalf of itself and the Noteholders) of claims against the firm and acknowledgement of other limitations of liability in favor of the firm, and (3) restrictions or prohibitions on the disclosure of the
accountants’ report or other information or documents provided to it by such firm to any party, including the Noteholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Indenture Trustee be required to execute any agreement in respect of
the accountants’ report that the Indenture Trustee determines adversely affects it in its individual capacity. 
 (b) Notwithstanding

retain the authority to institute, participate and join in any plan of reorganization, readjustment, merger or consolidation with respect to the issuer of any securities held hereunder, and, in general, to exercise each and every other power or
right with respect to each such asset or investment as individuals generally have and enjoy with respect to their own assets and investment, including power to vote upon any securities.

Proceeds and all amounts received by the Servicer in connection with the repossession and sale of a Financed Vehicle (whether or not the related Receivable has been classified as a Defaulted Receivable)).

 39 








 
the Indenture Trustee) pursuant to Section 8.03, and in the case of any Backup Servicer or the Indenture Trustee becoming successor Servicer, CRB shall continue to be deemed the Servicer for
purposes of the indemnities in this Section. If the Servicer shall have made any indemnity payments pursuant to this Section, and the Person to or on behalf of whom such payments are made thereafter collects any of such amounts from others, such
Person shall promptly repay such amounts to the Servicer, without interest. 
 Section 7.04. Merger or Consolidation of, or
Assumption of the Obligations of, Servicer or Backup Servicer. Any Person (i) into which the Servicer or any Backup Servicer may be merged or consolidated, (ii) resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Servicer or any

Person shall execute an agreement of assumption to perform every obligation of the Servicer or such Backup Servicer, as applicable, under this Agreement and any other Basic Document to which such entity is a party, shall be the successor to the
Servicer or the Backup Servicer, respectively, under this Agreement and any such other Basic Document without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties to this Agreement. The Servicer or such Backup
Servicer, as applicable, shall provide notice of any merger, consolidation or succession pursuant to this Section to the Trustees and each Rating Agency. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall not merge or consolidate with any other
Person where it shall not be the survivor thereof or permit any other Person to become a successor to its automobile finance or leasing business unless (i) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no representation or warranty made
pursuant to Section 7.01 shall have been breached (for purposes hereof, such representations and warranties shall speak as of the date of the consummation of such transaction) and no event that, after notice or lapse of time or both, would
become a Servicer Termination Event shall have occurred, (ii) the Servicer shall have delivered to the Trustees an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel each stating that such consolidation, merger or succession and such

Counsel to the effect that either (a) all financing statements and continuation statements and amendments thereto have been executed and filed that are necessary to preserve and protect the interest of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee,
respectively, in the assets of the Issuer and reciting the details of such filings or (b) no such action shall be necessary to preserve and protect such interest, (iv) such other Person is an Eligible Servicer and (v) such other
Person shall have validly assumed the obligations of the Servicer under the Servicer Basic Documents. 
 Section 7.05. Limitation on
Liability of Servicer, Backup Servicer and Others. 
 (a) Neither the Servicer nor any of its directors, officers, employees or agents
shall be under any liability to the Issuer, the Depositor, either Trustee or any Securityholders for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however,
that this provision shall not protect the Servicer or any such Person against any liability by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of its duties nor otherwise alter the indemnification obligations under
Section 7.03. 

  
 40 








 
The Servicer, any Backup Servicer and any of their respective directors, officers, employees or agents may conclusively rely in good faith on the written advice of counsel or any document of any
kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising under this Agreement. 
 (b) Should the
Indenture Trustee at any time agree to become successor Servicer hereunder, the parties expressly acknowledge and consent to the Indenture Trustee’s simultaneously acting in the capacity of successor Servicer and Indenture Trustee. The
Indenture Trustee may, in such capacities, discharge its separate functions fully, without hindrance or regard to conflict of interest principles, duty of loyalty principles or other breach of fiduciary duties to the extent that any such conflict or
breach arises from the performance by the Indenture Trustee of express duties set forth in this Agreement in any of such capacities. 
 (c)
The Backup Servicer undertakes to perform only such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Agreement, it being expressly understood by all parties hereto that there are no implied duties or obligations of Backup Servicer
hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Backup Servicer, except as expressly set forth herein, shall have no obligation to supervise, verify, monitor or administer the performance of the Servicer. The Backup Servicer may act
through its agents, nominees, attorneys and custodians in performing any of its duties and obligations under this Agreement but any such appointment shall not release the Backup Servicer from its obligations and responsibilities hereunder. 

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Backup Servicer be liable for any consequential, incidental
or special damages, including damages for loss of currency, funds, data, profits or goodwill. The Backup Servicer’s maximum liability for any breach of this Agreement by it in its capacity as Backup Servicer shall not exceed the fees actually
paid to Backup Servicer hereunder for the services as Backup Servicer for the 12-month period immediately preceding such breach; provided, however, that the limitations set forth in this Section shall not apply to or in any way limit the Backup
Servicer’s liability arising from its willful misconduct or gross negligence. It is expressly agreed and acknowledged that the Backup Servicer is not guaranteeing or insuring the performance of or assuming any liability for the obligations of
the other parties hereto or any of the Receivables. 
 Section 7.06. Appointment of Subservicer. 

(a) Subject to Section 7.06(b), the Servicer may at any time, upon notice to the Indenture Trustees and each Rating Agency, reasonably
appoint a subservicer in good faith to perform all or any portion of its obligations as Servicer hereunder. 
 (b) The appointment of a
subservicer pursuant to Section 7.06(a) is subject to the condition that the Servicer remains obligated and liable to the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders for the servicing and administering of the Receivables in
accordance with the provisions hereof without diminution of such obligation and liability by virtue of the appointment of such subservicer and to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Servicer alone were servicing and
administering the Trust Estate. 

  
 41 








 (c) The fees and expenses of any subservicer shall be as agreed between the Servicer and such
subservicer from time to time, and none of the Issuer, the Trustees, any Backup Servicer or any Securityholders shall have any responsibility therefor. 

(d) Any such subservicing agreement shall provide that a successor to the Servicer may at its discretion, upon becoming successor Servicer,
either continue or terminate such fee arrangement. 
 Section 7.07. Servicer and Backup Servicer Not to Resign. 

(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 7.04, neither the Servicer nor any Backup Servicer shall resign from the obligations and duties
imposed on it by this Agreement, except upon a determination that the performance of its duties under this Agreement shall no longer be permissible under Applicable Law. 

(b) Notice of any determination that the performance by the Servicer or any Backup Servicer of its duties contemplated hereunder is no longer
permitted under Applicable Law shall be communicated to the Trustees at the earliest practicable time (and, if such communication is not in writing, shall be confirmed in writing at the earliest practicable time) and any such determination shall be
evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered by the Servicer or any Backup Servicer to the Trustees concurrently with or promptly after such notice. Except as may otherwise be required by Applicable Law, no resignation of the Servicer
or any Backup Servicer shall become effective until a successor acceptable to the Noteholders representing not less than 51% of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of such Person in
accordance with Section 8.03. If no successor has been appointed within 30 days of resignation or removal, the Noteholders representing not less than 51% of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class may petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for such appointment. 
 Section 7.08. CRB May Own Securities. CRB and any Affiliate thereof may in its individual
or any other capacity become the owner or pledgee of Securities with the same rights as it would have if it were not the Servicer or an Affiliate thereof, except as expressly provided herein or in any Basic Document. Except as otherwise expressly
provided in the Basic Documents, Securities so owned by or pledged to the Servicer or any such Affiliate shall have an equal and proportionate benefit under the Basic Documents, without preference, priority or distinction as among the Notes and the
Certificates, as the case may be.

Monthly Certificate by the applicable Determination Date, which failure continues unremedied for a period of five Business Days; 

(iv) failure on the part of the Servicer duly to observe or perform any other covenants or agreement of the Servicer set forth

Section 8.02. Consequences of a Servicer Termination Event. 

(a) Following a Servicer Termination Event, the Indenture Trustee may, or, at the written direction of Noteholders holding not less than 51% of
the Note Balance of the Controlling Class shall, terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer under this 

  
 43 








 
Agreement by notice in writing to the Servicer, each Rating Agency, the Noteholders and the Asset Representations Reviewer. On or after the receipt by the Servicer of such written notice, all
authority, power, obligations and responsibilities of the Servicer under this Agreement automatically shall pass to, be vested in and become obligations and responsibilities of, either the Backup Servicer (if one has been appointed and becomes the
successor Servicer pursuant to Section 8.03) or the successor Servicer appointed pursuant to Section 8.03; provided, however, that such successor Servicer shall have no liability with respect to any obligation that was required to be
performed by the terminated Servicer prior to the date that such successor Servicer becomes the Servicer or any claim of a third party based on any alleged action or inaction of the terminated Servicer. As soon as practicable after the declaration
of a Servicer Termination Event, the Indenture Trustee shall notify the Backup Servicer, if any, thereof and in any event shall notify the Backup Servicer, if any, of any notice by the Indenture Trustee to, or direction to the Indenture Trustee
from, Noteholders regarding a Servicer Termination Event. 
 (b) The successor Servicer is authorized and empowered by this Agreement to
execute and deliver, on behalf of the terminated Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice
of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement of the Receivables, and related documents to show the Indenture Trustee (or the Issuer if the aggregate Note Balance has been reduced to zero) as lienholder or secured party on the
related certificates of title of the Financed Vehicles or otherwise. The terminated Servicer agrees to cooperate with the successor Servicer and with the Indenture Trustee in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the
terminated Servicer under this Agreement, including (i) the transfer to the successor Servicer for administration by it of all money and property held by the terminated Servicer with respect to the Receivables and other records relating to the
Receivables, including the Receivable Files, held by the terminated Servicer and a reasonably current computer tape or other electronic storage device containing in readable form all information necessary to enable the successor Servicer to service
the Receivables, (ii) the prompt transfer of any remaining amounts relating to Receivables in the possession of the Servicer to the Indenture Trustee, (iii) the notification of existing Obligors of the new address for payment and
(iv) the prompt remittance of any future amounts received by the Servicer with respect to Receivables to the successor. The terminated Servicer shall also provide the successor Servicer access to personnel and computer records of such
terminated Person in order to facilitate the orderly and efficient transfer of servicing duties. 
 (c) If the Servicer is replaced, the
outgoing Servicer shall be entitled to receive reimbursement for outstanding and unreimbursed Advances made pursuant to Section 5.07 by the outgoing Servicer. 

Section 8.03. Appointment of Successor Servicer. 

(a) On and after the time the Servicer receives a notice of termination pursuant to Section 8.02 or upon the resignation of the Servicer
pursuant to Section 7.07, the Backup Servicer, if any (or under the circumstances provided in Section 8.03(b), a successor Servicer other than such Backup Servicer, upon acceptance of appointment as Servicer in case of such a successor
Servicer other than any Backup Servicer), such Backup Servicer or other successor Servicer, as the case may be, shall be the successor in all respects to the Servicer in its capacity 

  
 44 








 
as Servicer under this Agreement and shall be subject to all the rights, responsibilities, restrictions, duties, liabilities and termination provisions relating to the Servicer except as
otherwise stated herein. If such a successor is acting as Servicer, it shall be subject to termination under Section 8.01(a) upon the occurrence of any Servicer Termination Event after its appointment as successor Servicer. The Backup Servicer
or such other entity that becomes successor Servicer shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effect any such succession, including providing such information in writing as reasonably requested by the
Depositor to allow the Depositor to comply with its Exchange Act reporting obligations with respect to such succession. 
 (b) Upon the
Servicer’s receipt of a notice of termination pursuant to Section 8.02 or upon the resignation of the Servicer pursuant to Section 7.07, to the extent no Backup Servicer is then appointed, CRB shall appoint an Eligible Servicer to be
the successor to the Servicer, which appointment will become effective upon the satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition. If (i) the Holders of not less than 51% of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class do not desire that the Backup
Servicer, if any, or the appointed successor Servicer act as Servicer or (ii) the Backup Servicer, if any, or the appointed successor Servicer is legally unable to act, or, in the case of a successor other than any Backup Servicer, shall choose
not to act as Servicer, Noteholders holding not less than 51% of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class may exercise at any time the right to direct the appointment of any Eligible Servicer as the successor to the Servicer and shall have no
liability to either Trustee, the Servicer, the Depositor, any Noteholders or any other Person if it does so. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Holders of not less than 51% of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class do not act, the Servicer,
either Trustee or Noteholders evidencing at least 25% of the Note Balance of the Outstanding Notes may petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint any Eligible Servicer as the successor to the Servicer. Pending appointment pursuant to this
Section, the outgoing Servicer shall continue to act as Servicer until a successor has been appointed and accepted such appointment. The Indenture Trustee shall withdraw from the Collection Account and remit to the successor Servicer or such other
party entitled thereto all reasonably incurred Transition Costs. 
 (c) Upon appointment, the successor Servicer shall be the successor in
all respects to its predecessor and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities arising thereafter relating thereto placed on its predecessor, and shall be entitled to the Servicing Fee as and to the extent provided for in
this Agreement and all the rights granted to the predecessor in such capacity by the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the other Servicer Basic Documents. 

Section 8.04. Notification to Noteholders. Upon any termination of, or appointment of a successor to, the Servicer pursuant to
this Article, the Indenture Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to the Noteholders, each Rating Agency and the Asset Representations Reviewer. 

Section 8.05. Waiver of Past Servicer Termination Events. The Noteholders holding not less than 51% of the Note Balance of the
Controlling Class may, on behalf of all Noteholders, waive in writing any Servicer Termination Event and its consequences, except an event resulting from the failure to make any required deposits to or payments from the Trust Accounts in accordance
with this Agreement. Upon any such waiver of a Servicer Termination Event, such event shall cease to exist, and shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other event
or impair any right consequent thereto.

 ARTICLE NINE 

TERMINATION 
 Section 9.01.
Optional Purchase of All Receivables. 
 (a) If, as of the last day of any Collection Period, the Pool Balance shall be less than or
equal to 10% of the Cutoff Date Pool Balance, the Servicer shall have the option to purchase on the following Payment Date the Trust Estate, other than the Reserve Account. To exercise such option, the Servicer shall notify the Depositor, the
Trustees and the Rating Agencies, not fewer than ten nor more than 30 days prior to the Payment Date on which such repurchase is to be effected and shall deposit into the Collection Account on the Business Day prior to the related Payment Date an
amount equal to the aggregate Purchase Price for the Receivables (including Receivables that became Defaulted Receivables during the related Collection Period) (the “Optional Purchase Price”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer
shall not be permitted to exercise such option on any Payment Date unless the amount to be deposited in the Collection Account (together with amounts on deposit in the Reserve Fund and the Collection Account) pursuant to this Section is at least
equal to the sum of (i) the Note Balance as of such Payment Date, (ii) accrued but unpaid interest on each Class of Notes at the related Interest Rate, (iii) all amounts due to the Servicer in respect of its servicing compensation,
any unreimbursed Advances and Nonrecoverable Advances and all accrued but unpaid amounts owing to the Trustees, any Backup Servicer and the Administrator. 

The aggregate amount so deposited in respect of such Payment Date, plus, to the extent necessary, all other Available Funds, shall be used to
make payments in full to the Noteholders in the manner set forth in Section 5.04. If the Servicer exercises the Optional Purchase, the Notes shall be redeemed in whole but not in part on the related Payment Date for the Redemption Price. The
obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement, except pursuant to Article Seven, shall terminate upon the purchase of the Receivables by the Servicer under this Section. 

The Servicer agrees to give the Indenture Trustee notice, at least 30 days prior to the Payment Date on which such purchase is to be effected,
that the Servicer reasonably believes that the Pool Balance will be less than or equal to 10% of the Cutoff Date Pool Balance as of the last day of the current Collection Period and that the Servicer expects (but is not obligated) to provide the
notice required in the first paragraph of this Section and thereafter to purchase the Trust Estate (other than the Reserve Account) as provided in the first paragraph of this Section. 

(b) Following the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture following the reduction of the aggregate Note Balance to zero, the Owner Trustee
will succeed to the rights of the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture and the reduction of the aggregate Note Balance to zero, the Servicer shall continue to perform its
obligations under this Agreement until the earlier of (i) exercise by the Servicer of its Optional Purchase right under Section 9.01(a) or (ii) repayment in full or liquidation of the last of the Receivables. 

  
 46 








 Section 9.02 Termination. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary,
this Agreement shall terminate upon the earliest to occur of (i) the maturity or liquidation of the latest maturing Receivable and the disposition of any amounts received thereon in accordance with Section 5.04, (ii) the payment to
the Holders of the Securities of all amounts required to be paid to them under the Basic Documents and (iii) the exercise by the Servicer of its rights under Section 9.01(a), the deposit into the Collection Account by the Servicer of the
amount required to be deposited therein in accordance with Section 9.01(a) and the application of such amounts in accordance with Section 5.04. 

  
 47 








 ARTICLE TEN 

MISCELLANEOUS

(a) This Agreement may be amended from time to time by the parties hereto without the consent of the Noteholders to cure any ambiguity, to
correct or supplement any provision hereof that may be defective or inconsistent with any other provision of this Agreement, to add or supplement any credit enhancement arrangement or to add any covenants, restrictions or obligations of the parties
to this Agreement; provided, however, that no such amendment may materially adversely affect the interests of any Noteholder. An amendment to this Agreement shall be deemed not to materially adversely affect the interests of any Noteholder if
(i) the Person requesting such amendment obtains and delivers to the Trustees an Opinion of Counsel or an Officer’s Certificate of the Issuer to that effect or (ii) the Rating Agency Condition has been satisfied with respect to such
action. 
 (b) This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the parties hereto with the consent of Noteholders holding not less
than 51% of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Noteholders; provided,
however, that no such amendment, without the consent of 100% of the Holders of the Notes, may (i) increase or reduce in any manner the amount of, or accelerate or delay the timing of, or change the allocation of priority of, collections of
payments on or in respect of the Receivables or distributions that are required to be made for the benefit of the Noteholders or change any Interest Rate or the Reserve Account Required Amount or (ii) reduce the percentage of the Note Balance
of the Controlling Class, the consent of the Noteholders of which is required for any amendment to this Agreement 
 (c) Notwithstanding the
provisions of Sections 10.01(a) and (b), no such amendment may significantly change the permitted activities or powers of the Issuer even if such amendment would not have an adverse effect on the interests of Noteholders, without the consent of
Noteholders holding not less than 51% of the Note Balance of the Controlling Class. 
 (d) Prior to the execution of any amendment pursuant
to this Section, the Trustees shall be entitled to receive and rely upon an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amendment is authorized or permitted by this Agreement and that all conditions precedent thereto have been satisfied.
The Trustees may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such amendment that affects such Trustee’s rights, duties or immunities under this Agreement or otherwise. 

(e) Prior to the execution of any amendment to this Agreement, the Depositor shall provide each Rating Agency with written notice of the
substance of such amendment. Promptly after the execution of any amendment or consent, the Administrator shall furnish written notification of the substance of such amendment or consent to each Noteholder, the Indenture Trustee and each Rating
Agency. 

  
 48 








 (f) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, in the event the parties desire to
further clarify or amend any provision of Sections 4.17 or 4.18, or subject to Section 4.17(c), the information contained in Schedule B, this Agreement shall be amended to reflect the new agreement among the parties covering matters in Sections
4.17 or 4.18 or Schedule B; provided, however, that (i) such amendment will not require any Opinion of Counsel or satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition, (ii) the Servicer shall deliver an Officer’s Certificate to the Indenture
Trustee that such amendment is in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and (iii) the Servicer shall have given written notice to the Rating Agencies not fewer than ten days prior to the effectiveness of any such amendment. 

Section 10.02. Protection of Title to Issuer. 

(a) CRB, as initial Servicer, shall execute and file such financing statements and cause to be executed and filed such continuation statements,
or take such other actions all in such a manner and in such places as may be required by Applicable Law or as shall be necessary to fully preserve, maintain and protect the interest of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee in the Trust Estate. The
Issuer hereby authorizes the filing of financing statements describing as the collateral covered thereby “all assets of the debtor, including all personal property of the debtor” or words to that effect, and any limitations on such
collateral description, notwithstanding that such collateral description may be broader in scope than the Conveyed Assets described in this Agreement. All financing statements filed or to be filed against in connection with this Agreement describing
the Trust Estate shall contain a statement to the following effect: “A purchase of, or grant of a security interest in, any of the collateral covered by this financing statement will violate the rights of the secured party.” The Servicer
shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee file-stamped copies of, or filing receipts for, any document filed as provided above as soon as available following such filing. 

(b) Neither the Depositor, the Seller nor the Servicer shall change its name, identity or limited liability company or corporate structure, as
applicable, in any manner that would, could or might make any financing statement or continuation statement filed in accordance with paragraph (a) above seriously misleading under Section 9-506 or 9-507 of the UCC, unless it shall have
given the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee at least 45 days’ prior written notice thereof and shall have promptly filed appropriate amendments to all previously filed financing statements or continuation statements or such new
financing statements as may be necessary to continue the perfection of the interest of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders in the Trust Estate. 

(c) Each of the Depositor, the Issuer and CRB shall give the Trustees at least 30 Business Days’ prior written notice of any change
in its name, identity, organizational structure or jurisdiction of organization or any relocation of its principal place of business or chief executive office if, as a result of such change or relocation, the applicable provisions of the UCC would
require the filing of any amendment to any previously filed financing statement or continuation statement or of any new financing statement, and shall promptly file any such amendment or new financing statement. The Servicer shall at all times
maintain each office from which it shall service Receivables, and its principal executive office, within the United States (other than the State of Louisiana). 

  
 49 








 (d) The Servicer shall maintain accounts and records as to each Receivable accurately and in
sufficient detail to permit (i) the reader thereof to know at any time the status of each Receivable, including payments and recoveries made and payments owing (and the nature of each) and (ii) reconciliation between payments or recoveries
on or with respect to each Receivable and the amounts from time to time deposited in the Collection Account in respect of each such Receivable. 

(e) Each of the Servicer and the Depositor shall maintain its computer systems so that, from and after the time of sale of the Receivables
under this Agreement, its master computer records (including any backup archives) that refer to a Receivable to indicate clearly and unambiguously the interest of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee in such Receivable and that such Receivable is
owned by the Issuer and has been pledged to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture. Indication of the interest of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee in a Receivable shall be deleted from or modified on the computer systems of the
Depositor and the Servicer when, and only when, the Receivable shall have been paid in full, repurchased by the Seller or purchased by the Servicer, as the case may be. 

(f) If at any time the Depositor or CRB shall propose to sell, grant a security interest in or otherwise transfer any interest in any motor
vehicle retail installment sale contract or installment loan to any prospective purchaser, lender or other transferee, it shall provide such prospective purchaser, lender or other transferee computer tapes, records or printouts (including any
restored from backup archives) that, if they shall refer in any manner whatsoever to any Receivable, indicate clearly and unambiguously that such Receivable has been sold and is owned by the Issuer and has been pledged to the Indenture Trustee
(unless such Receivable has been paid in full, repurchased by the Seller or purchased by the Servicer. 
 (g) The Servicer shall permit the
Trustees and their respective agents at any time during normal business hours, upon reasonably prior notice, to inspect, audit and make copies of and abstracts from the Servicer’s records regarding any Receivable. 

(h) Upon request, the Servicer shall furnish to the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee, within five Business Days, a list of all
Receivables (by Contract number and name of Obligor) then held as part of the Issuer, together with a reconciliation of such list to the Schedule of Receivables furnished prior to such request indicating removal of Conveyed Assets from the Trust.

 Section 10.03. Notices. All demands, notices, communications and instructions upon or to the Depositor, the Servicer, the
